“I’m sorry,” Greyson said.
“It’s everything with Lorenzo…”
Greyson narrowed his eyes.“You’re not blurring the lines are you? You know a sexual relationship is totally against the rules.”
“Of course not,”Mia lied.“But I have to stay focused.”
Greyson nodded. He didn’t look like he quite believed her.
“I want you to start wearing a recording device,” Greyson said.
“Won’t that put me in more danger?”
“They’ll never find it. It’s not like the old tapes and wires. We can give you something the size of a button. But I want to see and hear everything that goes on while you’re with him.”
“He invited me to his sister’s birthday party on Saturday. The whole family will be there.”
“Including Matteo?”
“Yep.”
“We need to capture everything. I’ll get the device to you before the party.”
Mia nodded, absently. How was she going to be natural with Lorenzo, knowing Greyson and anyone else at HQ were watching her?
She was getting further and further into this, and she didn’t know how to get herself out.
Chapter11
The birthday party was held on the Rossi estate in the Hamptons. It was late July and sweltering hot, and the Hamptons was in full swing, every house occupied and constant parties and events.
Mia watched the town go by as Lorenzo drove. Soon, the town gave way to rows of mansions. Unbelievable houses, the size of hotels. Mia had seen photos, of course, but seeing them in person was something else.
Lorenzo pulled the car in at an iron gate. Next to the driver door was a face scanner, which scanned Lorenzo’s face. The scanner went green, and the gate slowly opened.
The house was stunning, bright white with Roman columns all across the front. The garden was perfectly manicured, with a fountain taking centre stage.
At the front of the house, people were getting out of cars, caterers were bringing in covered trays, maids were rushing about.
Lorenzo pulled up, and one of the valet’s opened Mia’s door.
He helped her out and she straightened her dress. She tried not to touch the embroidered decoration at the chest— that was where they’d hidden the camera. She sweated, terrified she’d be found out.
“Mr. Rossi,” the valet said.“Let me know if I can do anything for you.”
Lorenzo nodded and handed the valet a tip.
He grabbed Mia’s hand and looked up at the house.
“You ready?” He asked.
Mia nodded.

The front of the house was stunning, but it was the back that really stole the show. There was a large white marquee set up with tables inside, and everything was covered in pink roses.
Lorenzo led Mia down the marble stairs to the paved patio, where the party was in full swing.
