"Really Samuel, I'm glad you're my manager otherwise I would've been ended up missing all of my meetings.", the boss replied. 

"It was you who appointed me. So, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to.", Samuel responded.

"That's what friends are for...", CEO smirked. "Isn't it?", to which Samuel slightly smiled. 

"Oh, you asked me about early leave today. Right?", CEO raised his eyebrow as a question. 

Samuel nodded in response. "Yeah, actually I have some plans today."

"What kind of plans?", CEO folded his arms and turned his chair. 

"Well, it's sort of personal.", Samuel replied making CEO blink in blow.

"Mr. Samuel! You're not just my manager. We've been friends from so long!", CEO smirked. "At least as a friend I should know who is that guy getting lucky tonight."

This statement left Samuel wide-eyed. 

"How you figured that out?", Samuel asked in disbelief. 

"Well, we've been friends from last seven years!", CEO smiled. "So, it's genuine if I know where you're going."

"Um... Yeah, I guess.", Samuel hitched. 

"Enjoy the night!", CEO winked and left his office. 

The road which CEO takes to his home is usually busy. Car honks, and road rages were pretty common. But, it was different this time. No traffic, no reckless car honks, not even rush of pedestrians. It was just him, some official documents and his dildo in the car. 

He suddenly pressed break when he saw cars sprinting at the intersection. 

"What the hell! They are holding citizens for foreign royals! God knows how they work.", CEO groaned and alerted when his head banged and car honked. 

"Welcome Adriano!", CEO said to himself pulling his Porsche 917 K in garage. "For tomorrow... I'll be..", Adriano was thinking about which car to drive tomorrow to his office. 

"Done! Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail for tomorrow!", Adriano nodded his head as if this was a normal name. Perhaps, it was for him. 

He entered his house and pulled out bottle of red from his wine collection. 

"I'm lucky enough to have this view from my penthouse balcony. I didn't give hundreds of millions to see nothing.", Adriano laughed in money enjoying view from his penthouse.

Adriano Conti, famous Italian Billionaire in his 20s. Not only money made him popular, but the charisma he carries and predatory looks too. Having everything what a normal human being can desire, except one. 

Money? He don't see price tags before buying. 

Cars? He can't even decide which one to drive. 

Friends? He's charismatic and Aries. 

Home? Living in Penthouse. 

Love? Perhaps. 

Adriano was thinking the same, chugging whole wine bottle and letting out a sigh. 

"I'm feeling a void. Void of something materialistic? Nah! Not at all. But maybe void of someone.", Adriano murmured to himself. 

Adriano was lost in his own thoughts, enjoying the spectacular view from glass, holding wine. There's nothing more satisfying than this. 

Adriano's attention was disrupted when he heard his phone ringing. His face lit up when he saw his sister calling. 

"Heyy! What you doin?", she directly said energetically. 

"Nothing much, enjoying my evening.", Adriano replied with same vibe. "How you've been?"

"Life's great so far. Can't say about future.", his sister joked. 

"Well, for you it's always sorted."

"I cannot say the same." Hailey replied. "Oh! Are you dating someone right now?"

"Woah! How that came out of blue!?", Adriano blinked his eyes. 

"Eh. Just asking...", Hailey dismissively said. 

"I'm not gonna give you any tea for entertainment.", Adriano chuckled and Hailey just simple groaned as her brother is stubborn. 

The sibling's call was interrupted by another. 

"Hailey, I'll call you later. Samuel is calling me right now.", Adriano said. 

"Oh! Sure! Take care!", Hailey politely replied.

"Take care! Bye.", Adirnao smiled and picked Samuel's call. 

"Yo! Sup?", Adriano said in friendly tone energetically. 

"This is a business call.", Samuel replied.

"Oh! Go on then."

"Well, The Royals of France are visiting our country—"

"Ugh, these royals. They're just looters.", Adriano interrupted Samuel. "Like, why do we even need monarchy in 2024?"

"Basically, you have meeting with them.", Samuel completed his sentence, unbothered by what his boss said.

"What!? When!?", Adriano jumped out of his skin.

"You have meeting with the Royals of France on friday at governer house.", Samuel replied as if he was aware of his reaction. 

"I mean when all this happened?", I Adriano asked rubbing his forehead. 

"Governo Italiano.", Samuel told and he knew his boss won't raise any questions. 

Adriano sighed and chugged last sips of wine. 

"Fine! I will. I mean, I HAVE TO! Thanks Samuel.", Adriano got calm instantly. 

"Good night."

"Take care."

Adriano rolled down on his couch and sat for few minutes, taking his time to get calm as meeting with royals is worst thing he can imagine happening to him.

"Whatever it is, I'm in this business. So, I have to meet them.", Adriano uplifted himself and he left out tense sigh when he noticed time showed midnight. 

"I won't even get my beauty sleep tonight.", Adriano pouted and glanced himself in the mirror. "I'm still majestic!".

It was daily routine for Adriano to make a to-do list for next day, and he was doing the same for tomorrow. But this time, the list was something different. The list had a meeting, not official or business related but with someone. 

Whatever it is, the next day is going to be rollercoaster for billionaire guy. 

"I hope I won't mess up anything tomorrow.", Adriano told himself in the mirror before going to hop in the shower as this was his all time bed routine.

Adriano acted anxious when he saw his phone with three missed calls while he was busy taking hot shower. 

"Not again...", Adriano groaned. 

I hope you guys enjoyed the very first chapter :)
