Chapter 23

He opened his eyes and caught me eyeing him dazed, from my bed. "You are awake," he said sitting up.

"I was going to wake you up in an hour or so. You need to get some food into your system," he walked towards me and felt my forehead before inserting a thermometer in my mouth.

"Hmmm! The temperature looks better," he said. I imagine he smiled while saying so. "I will be right back," he said and turned.

He walked towards the kitchen area and a few minutes later came back with a tray lined with some soup and toast.

He paused to look at me staring at him from the bed. But decided not to acknowledge it.

There are a lot of questions bothering me. "Has he been here all night? Did he see me naked? Who changed my clothes? Did something happen between us? If it did then I am never going to forgive myself for it. Reaching Alessandro Mancini by establishing anything sexual with his son is the one thing I would never sign up for."
