"Is everything alright? Did I do something wrong?"
"You tell me. I hear you have been flirting with the younger Scalese."
"Uh…I…should I have not?" Ricardo raised a brow.
Luca's gaze was steady. "What are your intentions?"
Ricardo swallowed.
Intentions.
If only it were that simple.
"Uh…its complicated…"
Complicated didn't even begin to cover it. His mind flickered back to Valentina's face the night before—the flash of hurt in her eyes, the fire in her voice.
He deserved it.
"Does she know you are not staying?" Luca asked.
"Yes, I informed her."
"And?"
Ricardo exhaled slowly. "She kicked me out."
Behind him, Marco snickered.
Luca shot him a withering look before turning back to Ricardo. "According to her sister, you make Valentina happy. So I thought, you could stay on in New York, see where this thing with Valentina goes."
Ricardo hadn't expected that.
