~Alex's POV
I woke up to the sound of soft knocks on my door. At first, I wanted to ignore it, but Luca's voice cut through the haze of my sleep. "Boss, it's time to meet the partners. Just a hangout, nothing serious."
I groaned, pushing the covers off me. The bed felt too comfortable, but I knew I had to get up. Stretching my arms above my head, I rubbed my face, trying to shake off the sleep.
"Alright, Luca," I called out, "Give me a minute."
I slowly got up, my body still tired from yesterday, but I pushed through it. I walked into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and then threw on some clothes. I pulled on a black pair of trousers and a simple white short-sleeve shirt, tucking it neatly into my pants. I checked myself in the mirror and ran a hand through my hair, trying to make it look like I actually cared. I finished off the outfit with a pair of white canvas shoes, nothing too fancy.
