"Wait, you want me to go in Italy for 3 weeks… starting from Tomorrow?" – Santana gasped, slapping an hand on the desk in front of her.
"I'd say that this is accurate. We need a good lawyer, who can check the situation of our business in Italy… Personally I don't trust that bunch of incompetents who keep telling me that everything is always ok." – The man opened a drawer of his desk, and took an envelope that he placed in front of the brunette woman. Then he continued the speech. – "You are obviously the best lawyer of the company in my opinion… And you know? Since I'm the boss here, my opinion is the only one that really counts." – The guy smirked raising an eyebrow.
Santana opened her mouth trying to say something, but nothing came out.
Noah leaned slightly forward, leaning on the right arm. He was looking directly in Santana's eyes. His tone was lower than before. - "Moreover Santana, since you and Emily broke up…every time I come at your place I catch you crying on the couch looking at the photos of the two of you… and I don't like seeing you wasting your life because of that bit.."
Santana interrupted him before he could finish his sentence with bad words about her ex girlfriend.
"I don't see how my private business are involved in this Puck…You're my boss in this moment, not my friend." – She said nervously.
"In this moment I'm both Santana… as your boss I'm giving you the chance to have a great, good paid job...which can also give you the possibility to increase your reputation as a lawyer… " – He leaned back in his comfortable swivel chair. - " …As your friend I'm giving you the opportunity to take a vacancy in a really nice place and give some rest to your broken heart."
Santana narrowed her eyes, she wasn't sure about this offer, but on the other hand she couldn't refuse it. Puck was her boss after all.
"Plus… Let me say this… In Italy there are a lot of hot chicks." – He winked at her.
The Latina rolled her eyes, she wasn't really in the mood for a love affair with anybody.
"Why don't you go yourself then?" – Santana asked sarcastically.
He chuckled. – "I wish I could, but I have a company to run… and a wife to take care of."

I bet now you're blinking your eyes a couple of times to make yourself sure about what you have just read. Well… believe it guys! Noah Puckerman, that Noah Puckerman, is the owner of one of the most important advertising company of New York. He is happily married with a pretty and very sweet girl named Dianna. And guess what? His mohawk is gone!
I think that after his affair with Shelby in high school, he just decided to mend his life, especially for Beth who he sees regularly. I know! It's crazy… I couldn't believe it myself, when he called me after my college graduation in law to offer me the job.
Anyway I'd say that now, he is one of my best friends. Since I broke up with Emily after 4 years together, he has always been there for me, but this time I really would like to kill him!
"Then I think that it's all planned already… and I can't say anything to make you change your mind…"- I tried my final card to change the situation.
"In that envelope there is your flight ticket… An assistant will meet you at the airport to help you with everything you need." - He was drumming his fingers on the armrest of the chair.
I sighed hopeless. – "Thank you boss." – I forced a smile, pretending to be excited, but he knew that was a total fake.
I stood up from the chair, took my bag and the envelope from the desk, then I headed for the door.
"I'm doing it for you San, just enjoy it…" – He said with a soft smile before I left the room.
"Are you saying that you're going to Italy? Tomorrow?…"
"Yeah, that's what I said."
"Oh my God San, that is super exciting. Isn't it?"
"Mhmm… I think so."
"C'mon San, please. This is such a great opportunity, it's the perfect way to leave the struggles and the pains here and bring the willing to be a beginner again with you."
"That's what Puck said too, in his personal way to say things." - I sighed, I thought that talking with Quinn would help me.
"Honey, you have to take care of you. Lately you haven't been very nice with yourself. It's not fair San, you're smart, funny, sometimes a little… harsh… but you're such a great girl."
I rolled my eyes, luckily she can't see me, she finds the way I roll my eyes pretty annoying.
"I guess you're right. But you forgot to say that I'm also smocking hot." – I teased her.
"That's the modest Santana I know. Welcome back baby girl." - She chuckled in the phone.
I smiled amused.
"San, I really have to go. Joel is waiting for me at school.. I'll talk to you later."
"Sure, say him that auntie San says hi!"
"I will. Bye auntie San."
I chuckled after closing the phone conversation.
Quinn and I are best friends since we were little girls, we've been through a lot together, especially in high school. I was by her side when she found out that she was pregnant. She was by my side when I found out that I was gay. As I said, we've been through a lot.
After college she married Sam, yep! 'Trouty Mouth', they started dating again during the second year of college. Then she got pregnant and Joel is her beautiful little boy.
Thank God his lips have nothing in common with Sam's.
Maybe Quinn is right, I have to take this as an opportunity… Italy I'm coming!
