I’m off. I’ll call you, don’t worry.”
Gia grabbed her bag, car keys, and her replacement cell phone. She went into the messages while she walked out toward the parking lot.
True to his word, Liam had texted his address and GPS coordinates.
She reached her white Lexus and punched in the details on the navigator. She selected the shortest route. It was only a couple of miles from the studio, similar to the one Liam’s driver had taken.
She inhaled deeply before starting the car, and was off.

Gia reach the gates of his house and rolled down her window. She pressed the bell button on the small silver intercom and waited. A camera looked back at her from the top of the intercom and, glancing up, she noted there were two more focused on her car, perched on each side of the gates.
“Evening, Ms. Carelli, please come through.” She heard Anna’s voice crackling over the speaker just when the wrought iron gates slid aside, and she pulled in.
She didn’t see his limo or any others cars. Maybe it was in the garage, or he was still at his meeting.
Just when she stepped out of her car, her phone beeped.
Running late, make yourself at home L
She sighed softly. She had hoped he would be home but evidently was not. Her earlier anxiety of having been with her boss crept into her psyche, and she battled to brush it off.
Anna opened the door and ushered her inside with a warm smile. She obviously lived in, judging from the fluffy powder-blue nightgown she wore. Gia stepped through to the foyer, offering her a half-embarrassed smile while she waited for direction.
“Liam says you can either wait in his room or any of the living rooms to make yourself comfortable.”
Gia blushed, feeling her cheeks probably beet red from humiliation. The option of waiting in his room screamed booty call. “Thank you, Anna. Is there a library?” She might as well read something while she waited. Besides, she was curious to see the types of books he kept in his home.
“Yes, of course, this way.” Anna gestured before walking to the left of the foyer then turning right.
Gia followed through the hallway, her eyes taking a swift inventory of the paintings on the side walls. She was not exactly an art connoisseur, but they looked pretty impressive and expensive, housed in large, gold gilded frames.
Anna leaned and pushed open a large double oak door.
“There you go.” She waved inside the room while remaining at the door. “Can I offer you something to drink while you wait?”
Gia noted a decanter set on a large mahogany table in the library room and nodded toward it.
“It’s fine. Do you mind if I pour myself some of that—”
“Vodka, yes of course. I can pour it for you. Would you like some ice, tonic, or water with that?”
Liam sure lived the good life, or else Anna was just extremely hospitable. “No, it’s okay, thanks, Anna. I’ll take it straight.”
Anna smiled, and her eyes seemed to glisten with relief.
She did look pretty exhausted. Gia had no intention of drinking straight alcohol, but she could see Anna needed sleep.
“Have a pleasant evening. If you need anything, just dial nine on the phone, and it will come straight through to me.”
“Thank you. You have a good evening, I’ll just wait for Liam. Hopefully he won’t be too long?”
“He said he was on his way when I called to let him know you arrived. He wanted to know. Well, good night, Ms. Carelli.”
Anna walked out and closed the door behind her, leaving Gia to take in the expanse of the library.
It was impressive by anyone’s standards. The flooring matched the doors perfectly. Chocolate leather armchairs were scattered around the room, perched alongside curved floor-to-ceiling windows. There were no curtains, and she could see the infinity pool glimmering underneath the moonlight just a few yards away.
