‘There is plenty to consider.’ Nico snapped. ‘Next.’
It had been scheduled as a thirty-minute meeting but in the end it took sixty-three—and of course it did not end there.
As Marianna disappeared for a quick restroom break, and Nico attempted to stalk off, Aurora caught up with him. ‘I wonder if we could speak? I have an idea.’
‘It has all been said in the meeting.’
‘This isn’t about the uniforms. I have another idea for the Silibri hotel.’
‘Then speak with Vincenzo, your manager.’
‘Why would I share my idea with him?’
‘Because I don’t generally deal with assistants.’
Aurora felt his cool, snobbish dismissal and told him so. ‘It is spring, Nico, and the sun is shining—yet you are so cold that when I stand near you I shiver.’
‘Then get a coat! Aurora, let me make something very clear—and this is a conversation that you can repeat to all your colleagues. You are here for a week of training to find out how I like things done and how I want my hotel to operate. You’re not here for little chats and suggestions, and catch-ups and drinks. I did not build a hotel in Silibri to expand my social life.’
Nico wanted this conversation to be over.
‘You are shadowing, Marianne for the rest of the day?’ he checked.
‘Si?’
‘Then what are you doing standing in mine?’
