Chapter 74“Finally he's here”Andrea, shades on in a black suit, resembled the popular TV spy, Mark Crabat as he alighted . Two cars of four bodyguards each pulled up behind his own Bentley Bentayga. Marco's men, or rather, the Mafia men, two in number, stood in the middle of the empty open space. Hands in their pocket, they waited for Andrea to approach them.“Andrea Rodriguez… I thought the Boss said no extras?”"Men always bring their protection. But they won't be coming into the hall though”Andrea soon reached where they stood. Two bodyguards following him, stood behind him.“Mr. Rodriguez”, they both echoed, bowing a little to greet.Andrea removed his glasses, an unimpressed expression on his face.“Please, follow us”Andrea put the shades back on but the men stopped Andrea's bodyguards from following.“Any problem?”, Andrea said, turning back. “They have to wait here. Boss said no extras”Andrea raised an eyebrow but didn't react. He just nodded to his bodyguards to cooperate
Chapter 75“Let's not get messy gentlemen. I believe we can reach a comfortable position for a deal”Andrea smirked, taking his seat. Podrego took his seat as well, not taking his eyes off Andrea. “Gentlemen. Once again let us be reminded of the common goal here. The target is Emilio Rodriguez and we desire to eliminate his existence. Now Andrea, The re della Mafia is the king of the Mafia. He controls the affairs of every Mafia Group in the state. It's his duty to get it done and that, il mio amico, is a position that cannot be shared. Remember gentlemen, that we work with time. That essentiality is the only thing we can preserve when we work together.”Andrea looked at Marco, his eyes raised. Silence enveloped them and the shuffling of feet was the only sound echoing in the vast empty room.“Very well. Like I said earlier, I'll pay my respects”“Good. Have we reached a common ground 'Re della?”Podrego adjusted his suit. He tapped the charred end of the cigar on the table and lit i
Chapter 76“So… what business do you have at Maston Corp?”“I think that's pretty obvious, Jerry”“What is? I can't clearly can’t see it with all those beauty obstructing my eyesight”Indeed. Men were such irritating flirts.“I'm off to an interview.”“Interview?”“Yes Jerry. Any problem with that?”“No. I just… feel that my beautiful baby shouldn't be working”, Jerry said, biting his lips.“Well I've got bills to pay Jerry and you are clearly not handling them for me”“You could make me.”, He said with a smirk.“You know I've missed you”He attempted to slip a hand behind her waist but Sasha stopped him.“Keep your filthy hands to yourself Jerry!”“Come on, Sasha. You know you want this. Look at my ride baby. I'm bigger than you think”Sasha scoffed. “Can you focus on driving Jerry? My interview is by 10.30”“It's not even up to 9.00 yet”“And so?”“Come on, Sasha.”“What?! Look Jerry, what we had was in the past ok? I've moved on and you can definitely not get me back.”“Oh really.
Chapter 77The Maston Incorp was a skyscraper building with at least 30 floors. Its architecture was one of a kind with an open roof as the topmost floor. In the expansive frontage they had, Sasha walked majestically with her block heels, folders in hand and jacket on her shoulder. The automatic door opened just as she approached it. “Good morning ma'am”, Sasha said as she came to the receptionist office.“Morning”, the receptionist said brightly. “How can I help you?”“I'm here for the interview”Oh”, the receptionist said, looking through her files.“What position please?”“Personal assistant and secretary. Administrative affairs.”“Oh okayyyy. Let me just get the document up on my computer.”She opened the Doc file and scrolled through then many updated documents.“Administrative affairs… administrative affairs.”, She said as she scrolled.Are you… ummm…?”“Sasha Bills”“Sasha…”, she strained her eyes, peering into the computer almost too closely.Sasha watched the receptionist wi
Chapter 78“Same here dear”, Lena said, eyes on her computer.Sasha walked out of the office, pulling her jacket as she strutted down the passage. She rested the jacket on her shoulder and headed for the reception. She did as the interviewer said and the receptionist filled her details into the system.“Thank you for coming to Maston Incorp”Sasha smiled to reply. She turned away from the receptionist but stopped just before the automatic door. She'd forgotten to tell Jerry to pick her up.“Can't call the idiot now”, she muttered frustratedly under her breath. She opened her ride app and booked the closest driver. She pretended to be in need of the restroom while she waited.Her ride arrived after twenty minutes. “I'll like to make a quick stop by Carte Café,please”********************************Garfy took a flimsy look at the crutch on his left. “Do I really need this?”“It's the doctor's instructions Garfy”“But Boss, I can walk fine. I'm fine already”Asher gave his bodyguard
Chapter 79Davidson pulled the suitcase out from under the bed. Placing it on the center table hurriedly, he unlocked the suitcase. He laughed in delight as he beheld the mints of euros still as crisp as the day the Mafia had given them.Just then, the door flung open. Davidson closed the box hurriedly, his hands going quickly behind his back in alert. But it was only Franrigo.“Damn Rigo, knock”“Dovrei bussare? (I should knock?). Are you high again, Davidson? We share this room”“Please, endeavor to lock the doors”, he said, mimicking Franrigo's accent. “And don't be a pain in the ass.”Franrigo ignored him, his attention on the locks. He drew the little rods and clipped them, ensuring the door was tight before diverting his attention from the door to Davidson and the suitcase on the table.“What are you doing, Davidson?”Davidson had a wide, excited smile on his face.“You see this, Franrigo?”, he said, waving a stack of euros at Franrigo.“You see this? And this”“What is your po
Chapter 80“Oh shit”Her phone beeped ominously, an indication that her battery was pretty low and she hadn't brought her charger. She had her second interview the next day. She held up the blanket, not wanting to wake Jerry. Turning to the bedside table, she picked up her phone again. Five missed calls.“Oh f***. Must be the interview lady”She pulled up her call application and just then the same number popped up. Her phone rang loudly. She reduced the volume hastily. Jerry turned on his side, still very much asleep. If he woke up, she was as good as late for that interview.She peered her sleepy eyes into the phone screen to read the name.“Shit!”A hand ran through her shoulder.“Hey babe”Sasha shoke first with fear, quickly turning the face of her phone down. He kissed her, from the nape of her neck to her bare, naked shoulders, not noticing her surreptitious action. His hands cupped her naked breasts, his legs moving between hers.“Hey you”, Sasha said, touching his hands lig
Chapter 81“I like that you said that, Sasha”, Lena said, her eyes still on her laptop. She casted the screen on her laptop to her big screen desktop and turned to face Sasha.“But I'm afraid your records say otherwise, Miss Sasha. You didn't leave Skyrock, Sasha Bills. They laid you off. And with a pretty controversial reason too. Care to talk about it?”Sasha moved uneasily but didn't show that she was bothered. She straightened herself up on her seat. “I think there's been a miscommunication somewhere, Miss Lena.”“Oh really. From what end?”“With all due respect Miss Lena…..”“Ma'am to you”, Lena cut in sharply.“With all due respect ma'am, I believe your there must be some inaccuracy in your research”“Oh!, is there?”Lena said, sarcastically. “Because, I requested for a report from your office on your work behavior and it wasn't a very good report I got. I still have the document here if you'd like to go through it"“That wouldn't be necessary,ma'am”“Oh, why not?”“Because I d
