Adele was lead to Francesco's meeting room and was left alone by Antonio to knock on the door. Adele sighed. How Antonio trusted her to do anything for him was baffling to her. How come he was trusting her now? Even though he knew how many times she had made things worse by interfering even within the short time she had been there. But again as Antonio had pointed out, this was not really business and more of a personal matter.

Adele took a deep breath and knocked on the door under the watchful eyes if the statue like guards who avoided eye contact with her at all times.

Francesco shouted from the inside " Who is this? I said no visitors."

Adele cleared her throat " Sorry. It's me."

Seconds later, she heard the key turning in the lock and Francesco opening the door. He looked surprised " Sweetheart. Shouldn't you be at breakfast now. I told Antonio to take you. Did he forget?"

Adele whispered quickly " Antonio didn't forget. He came to see me. I asked him to bring me to you. I wanted to go with you."

Francesco spoke " Fine then. Come inside. I am almost done here. We will go together."

As Adele came in, Francesco closed the door behind him and spoke " You remember Georgio sweetheart?"

Adele looked at Georgio who was standing and looking at Francesco with a passive expression. He wasn't even looking at Adele. She remembered that she had to be the one to acknowledge him sooner Francesco didn't like anyone to communicate with her without her prior approval or interest. So Adele cleared her throat " Yes. I remember. Hello Georgio. How is Georgina."

Georgio looked at Francesco and as he nodded, he turned to Adele and spoke " Hi. Thank you. Georgina is fine. I will let her know you asked about her. You may see her at the Hollywood ball tonight. She hopefully won't be causing trouble like she did earlier." He was looking at Francesco apologetically as he was saying the last sentence."

Francesco chuckled as he spoke " Georgina is single. She is not a lady yet until she is married. She can be excused for her behaviour at this mansion. Antonio taught her a lesson from what I hear. So I am sure she won't cause the troubles she caused the day before yesterday ever again when she is at presence of Rosarios. But I don't despise her behaviour at the ball last night. It was reported to me that she stood up to Sancia Giovanni. I have no problem with that at all and I am glad to see you have decided for the Canavaros to drop by at the ball tonight as well. Sancia won't back down and neither should Georgina. Having said all this, you know what I think of your sister overall. Don't you? She is too defiant and has too much fire in her. I feel sorry for her future husband that has to put up with her for a lifetime. Lets hope it won't be a Rosario." He then laughed harder. Then he gestured to a seat in front of Georgio and turned to Adele "Sit down sweetheart. We are about done here. But there are a few things left. Also there is a topic that came up at the end that may need your input too."

Adele walked to the spot on the large sofa Francesco pointed at and sat down. Francesco sat down next to Adele and as usual wrapped an arm around her waist holding her tightly. He then spoke " Georgio, be seated and lets finish the businesses we just discussed. Carry on where we left off."

Georgio sat down and spoke " Thank you for allowing me to bring this up in the first place. I really needed help about this. As I was saying, I secured an appointment with one of the movie making giants. If that meeting goes well then the Canavaros and Rosarios can co-own that movie making company. It would be worth millions and it would be legal."

Francesco spoke " Almost legal. We both know what goes on in the background as movies are made. Alot of behind the scenes happens that won't be running so perfectly if mobs like ours don't put some finishing touches here and there. As I said I either will be in that meeting or will send Antonio to attend it with you. They would sell off that movie studio or they would go bankrupt with plans I have in place. They won't like it if we make every actor and actress resign because of ill health or personal reasons would they. When they are left with no movie stars, then they would sell the place with half the price even. Trust me. So they would say yes to avoid losing money. Now, business talk is finished. Tell Adele about what you told me."

Georgio nervously looked between Adele and Francesco as he spoke " Ah. It's ..... nothing big really. It's just that I am ..... getting married to my fiancé in a few weeks. Flora is very impatient and wants the wedding within the next month. I told her the earliest we can get married is within about 2-4 weeks. My father was just assassinated three days ago so I think I need some time in between. So ...... If my wedding happens in 2-4 weeks would you be able to attend. I would feel immense gratitude if you do."

Francesco turned to Adele and kissed her on the cheek. He then whispered " What do you think sweetheart. Would you want to go to this wedding?"

Adele spoke " Of course. I love weddings. I love any excuse for a party."

Francesco turned to Georgio " Adele is interested. So all Rosarios will be there. I don't like attending weddings since they don't mean much to me personally. You know my history Sergio. My parents didn't get along well even though they were married. So I don't think a wedding defines love between two people. But I hope your fiancée loves you. Be assured that we Rosarios will be there since Adele thinks its a good idea. Is the wedding in New York?"

Georgio nodded " Thank you for accepting. And yes. The wedding will be held at the Canavaro mansion in New York."

Francesco spoke " Any other business Georgio that you want to tell me now?"

Georgio shook his head " No. Thank you for seeing me at such short notice. I think I should take my leave now. I am sorry for disturbing your breakfast time.

Francesco nodded " Very well."

It was Adele who turned to Francesco and quickly spoke " Actually, there is something I would like to say to Georgio."

Francesco spoke " Yes. Sweetheart. What is it?"

Adele looked at a worried looking Georgio who was trying to avert his gaze from her and looking nervously at Francesco. It was obvious he didn't like' being addressed by her.

Francesco spoke " Relax Georgio. If my woman addresses you, it is ok to look her in the eye. I don't mind that. Besides, you are engaged to be married. You are not single to be a threat."

Georgio turned to Adele and smiled nervously.

Adele sighed and rolled her eyes. Then she spoke " I was going to ask you where are you going for thanksgiving? I am sorry if its too forward. I know you suffered a loss in your family so it makes sense if you wish not to celebrate."

Georgio spoke " Georgina and I are going to go to my fiancées parents house in Rhode Island on Thursday. We are going to the airport and would be flying there tonight after the ball."

Adele turned to Francesco " I think we should invite Georgio and Georgina to thanksgiving for Thursday night. I know you said to Angelo yesterday that I can invite my parents to thanksgiving since I was feeling so ..... down last night. But him and I don't wish to do that since our parents have to go to the nursing home my grand parents are residing at in California. They can't possibly come and I don't want them too. But I was hoping we could invite the Canavaros since I feel very close to Georgina. I just met her once but she was acting like a sister to me. So can we invite the Canavaros."

Francesco spoke " Sweetheart....... I didn't know you felt so close to Georgina." He then turned to Georgio and spoke firmly " You will cancel your flight tonight. Just call your finances parents on your way out. Use the telephone at the gate. Tell them you can't go because of business commitments. I will see you, your fiancé and Georgina on Thursday. Goodbye now. See yourself out. I need to have a word with Adele now."

Georgio spoke " But ....Are you sure? .... I mean .... I would like that but ..... Georgina .... is troublesome."

Francesco spoke " Are you refusing me?"

Georgio's eyes widened. He knew full well what it meant of anyone refused Francesco. Georgio was the head of Canavaros and an influential mob boss even though his business was now under Francesco's protection. But he knew if Francesco wanted someone dead, no matter who they were he could kill them. Even the president was not safe from Francesco. Even though he feared his sisters safety and didn't have any intentions of bringing his only relative to Francesco's again he had to smile forcefully " Of course not. I am not refusing. I just don't want my family's presence to bother you on a special night like thanksgiving."

Francesco laughed " Cut that out. We both know how much I hate festive seasons. It's no special night but .... the woman I share that night with makes it special. Now goodbye. Make sure to make that phone call and cancel that flight."

Georgio nodded and smiled weakly and spoke "Thanks for having me." He then stood up and walked to Francesco, leaned over and kissed his hand and after giving Adele a respectable nod, walked to the door.

As Georgio left the room, Francesco turned to Adele and without warning picked her up and sat her on his lap. As Adele was about to protest, she swallowed her words. Francesco was looking at Adele with what she could only describe as a dangerous glint in his eyes. He spoke in a firm tone "Sweetheart. Explain your actions to me."

Adele spoke carefully "What do you mean?"

Francesco spoke "Why did you invite the Canavaros. Since when are you interested in communicating with people involved in my business?" He was rubbing circles at Adele's back with his hand and looking at her intensely.

Adele shrugged nervously "I told you. I like Georgina's company."
