She hummed, studying my face for hints, and then decided, "Okay."

With her agreement, I changed direction, heading toward the location of my secret lab where Enzo and some of my trusted workers were awaiting my arrival.

I couldn't wait to share this part of my world with Griselda, hoping it would further bridge the gap between us and allow her to understand me a little more.

As I drove into the hidden entrance of our secret lab, a familiar excitement cloaked me. The routine security checks began, verifying my identity and the car I was driving. The heavy doors slowly opened, revealing the brightly lit, cutting-edge facility that was concealed within.

I parked the car in its designated spot and gestured for Griselda to follow me as I stepped out. Enzo, always watchful, approached us, his eyes narrowing in surprise at the sight of Griselda.

"E’ saggio?(Is this wise?)" he questioned quietly.

I raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Griselda understands Italian, Enzo."

Enzo's surprise was evident, glancing between Griselda and me, silently communicating his concern.

I reassured him, patting his shoulder. "It's okay, Enzo."

Griselda walked over to join us.

"What is this place?" she asked, her eyes scanning the high-tech setup.

I couldn't help but smile with pride. "Welcome to my secret lab. It's a highly secure facility, accessible only to a select few."

Her eyes widened in amazement. "But what do you do here?"

I began explaining, leading her through the lab. "This is where we work on modifying vehicles and equipping them with special features."

She was genuinely intrigued. "Special features? Like what?"

I started walking her through the diverse modifications our team was currently working on, feeling a genuine sense of pride as I elaborated on our projects.

"We focus on enhancing vehicle capabilities, such as advanced navigation systems, self-driving technology, safety features like collision avoidance, and even integrated communication systems. Of course, this is what we work on for the cars available to the public."

“What about these cars here? Are these cars available to the public?”

“Not at all.”

“Then what special modifications do these cars have?”

"Let me show you," I said, excitement bubbling as we approached a sleek, unassuming sportscar. "One of our special modifications is altering the car's structure so it appears as an ordinary vehicle to the naked eye."

Griselda watched in awe as the car's appearance morphed before her, subtly changing its contours and colors until it looked like an everyday sedan.

"This is a hologram covering, but there's more," I continued, leading her toward another car. "We've integrated a system that allows access to local CCTV networks discreetly.”

She nodded, clearly fascinated by the blend of technology of stealth and espionage.

"Incredible," she breathed.

"Indeed," I grinned, proud of what we had accomplished so far. "And you know what? We're constantly working on new ideas."

She arched an eyebrow, recalling my earlier conversation with Enzo. "You mentioned a new feature you're working on?"

"Ah, yes," I replied, turning towards her with a wide smile. "We're in the process of developing a mechanism that enables us to record conversations from a distance. Imagine the possibilities for intelligence gathering and surveillance."

Her eyes widened at the concept. "That's...wow."

"Exactly," I chuckled, swept up in her awe.
