Betrothed To The Mafia Lord by Josephine Ivy Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Lika’s POV

Which reminds me I met Richie Today, at the hospital The car finally came to a stop and I breathed out a sope and long nigh asilifted my head from the car’s head test and turned my head around for a few Seconds before proceeding to quickly dig my fingers into my left shoulder cord which felt stiff and cramped up as fuck “The fuck was te doing there, he spoke to you?

Yeah We rode the same elevator down and as I was leaving, he informed me that he needed my help with something” The car door got pulled open by the guard and i stepped out of the car with my phone deep in my pocket once again. I didn’t shove my hands into my pocket this time and instead vallowed it to drop on my sides as James came to stand beside me, his suit jacket completely unbuttoned, and his undershirt first few buttons currently undone “What did he need your help with 7

That’s the thing He sounded really secretive like he didn’t want anybody lo mistakenly overhear what he was saying, despite the fact that only a few pople were currently on that Noor and were way too far away from us to be able to overhear a thing” 1 nodded my head at a few guards who were at the huge gate of my company as James and I made our way into the company’s premises

“And so I cut him off before he could finish talking, and advised him to arrange an appointment with one of my secretaries if he’d like to speak with me And then I left him standing there*

“That fucker what could he need your help with?” James swore after a while and I only shrugged a little having no clue whatsoever Once we arrived at my office, I sank into the seat behind the table and James took the seat on the other side of the table i unbuttoned the first two buttons of my shirt and noticed that James was already shrugging his suit jacket off his shoulders and was laying it against the back of the seat he was sitting in I pushed the checkbooks towards him and tugged the files holding important details towards me and we both got down to work after a little while working in a very comfortable silence and passing each sheel to each other once we were done, like we were supposed to He wrote checks and stamped them before passing them over to me for my signature, while signed every area for my signatures to be in after thoroughly going through each piece of file before passing it over to him to stamp and write in dates. Ever since we took over from our fathers being best friends for a long time helped a lot. Because we understood each other the most and were already used to doing almost everything together ever since we became best friends, a long time ago James and I were age mates but i knew he wasn’t going to be getting married any time soon. His family members were already on his neck for him to pick a wife and produce offspring that would carry on their family name But James wasn’t in a hurry, James didn’t really need an heir, at least it wasn’t as important for him to get a wife, the way it was for me Which was why i had gotten married despite the fact that I didn’t want to but had to, and he was still living the single life and still obviously enjoying it to the fullest

We were done with the whole sorting and arranging oi wes in a few hours and both stretched and yawned tiredly James stood up and quickly arranged the whole thing we’ve worked on in a particular neat order on the edge of the table where he was sitting, for my secretaries to easily pick up later today, and distribute them to their much needed places.

“You hungry?” I asked James who was currently shielding a yawn with the back of his night palm. He nodded his head twice before tugging his hand away from against his mouth once he was done yawning and answered, “Yeah, that’d be really cool, I’m famshed, manTM And so we left for a restaurant which was a ten minute drive away from the office. James had driven the car he came to the office in and I had ridden with him, sitting in the passenger seat beside him as he drove to the restaurant, to get our empty stomachs filled up

We have an early start tomorrow and we’re also visiting your third company tomorrow, so please put these in your schedule now, so as to have the whole of tomorrow’s schedule with you.” James said to me as I started packing up. obviously ready to go home

It was currently some minutes after eleven pm, James and I had worked ourselves late into the night the way we mostly do everyday

“Are all the appointments scheduled for tomorrow extremely important?” I asked him as I dug my phone out from my back pocket

He nodded his head without glancing up from his phone which his fingers were currently flying over with a speed faster than normal

“On” He suddenly said after a few seconds, there’s one not all that important, we can totally have this rescheduled. The rest are all completely important and we have to see every one of it tomorrow. Knowing how it goes sometimes, we’ll end up spending more than a scheduled time at a particular appointment, thereby disrupting the whole or our schedule because we’ll have to shift the schedules remaining for the rest of the day, forward and

“We’ll try our best to be on the throughout each appointment tomorrow” i said to him as I handed him my phone with the schedule app opened and ready on the screen He took the phone out of my hand and placed his phone on the table before him, and then he proceeded to type in the information on tus schedule app, intorniy phone I rolled my sleeves until my whole biceps was bare and the material of the suit bunched up against my elbow. My first few shirt buttons were still unbuttoned and I wasnt dung donntung about it Jernes held my phone out to me altei a few seconds and accepted the phone and scrolled through the appointments, wincing and slightly tugging on the inside of my cheek with my teeth because aluded that I didn’t remember what over hall of the appointments staring back at me were I showed my phone into my pocket and thanked lanes who was also pushing himself unto tus leet and dropping tus phone down on the table to pick up tus jacket from the back of its chal where it has been on since this afternoon, and sugged it on without bothering to the the few buttons up, and finally picking tub phone back up Me made our way out of the office, through the emply and quicl hallway down the elevator and out of the company main doors which led into the first floor of the whole building the first floor wasntos enly as the rest of the floora tow people were still doing different things here

We made our way outside and over to our cars. My driver was standing beside the back doof, ready to tug it open for me to slide in and sink into the car

seat

I paused outside james black sich Audi along with James

My regards to your wife” James started to say i t before barking out a laugh when i narrowed my eyes at lim daringly Oh m bwi I forgot that she’d have been currently last anleep and the both of you might probably not archange at words until you leave for work tomorrow irourg belore she wakes up Yuck yoxlames I breathed out with a small shake of my head asi hpped him the bed

jarrves totally unfared, nimpedus palm against the driver’s doo ofis Audi buore tugging the door open and sliding smoothing into the driver’s seat

“Just how sexy was that spank to this meny balyy?James diawled out

You’re sick James” I said around a small laugh ache only rolled his eyes at my renponse

Hee you tomorrow rate” i bidded him as started to turn around, towards my own car

Yeah yeah Youloo Have a good night He called out right before he slamined his Audi’s door shut and started to pull out of the parking lot, just as i was sliding into my car’s seat and the driver was slamming the door close and making his way into the driver’s seat almost immediately The car pulled out of the parking lot and into the busy streets. It was almost twelve inidnight but that didn’t stop the roads of Venice from being busy and Towdy as fuck

The secont car containing some of my personal guards which always tail mine was in its usual spot when I checked through the rear view mirror

I breathed out a long sigh and reclined the car seat with a button unt it was stretched out and could make a make short bed for someone whose body wasnt as big as mine

I laid down on the seat and stretched my legs out in front of me, to see how far they could go, before allowing my eyes to slide shut

I peeled my eyes open, already aware of the fact that we were currently slowly pulling into my compound even before I opened my eyes I groaned softly as I sat up on the seat and tapped on a button, returning the seat back to its former position. I groaned quietly again as I moved my neck around and a few of the countless tensed up muscles cracked and loosened out, offering a sudden feeling of relief in that particular spot The door got pulled open by one of my men and I stepped out of the car and paused outside the car to stretch out my arms a little, loving the way the muscles in my shoulders and neck loosened out and cracked loudly. Lord, I needed a cold shower and a drink

And sleep

Lots of sleep. At least six hours of sleep at least

The thought about how I barely got enough sleep last night drifted around in my head and I also remembered the sole reason as to why I barely got enough sleep last night Sofia

Only to end up receiving a call from one of her personal bodyguards a few hours after I had left home and getting informed that my wife had sustained an arm injury and would be visiting the hospital I made my way into the house and relaying my first schedule of the day to my driver who promised to be here on time, the way he always does, before he zoomed out of the compound in his own car, a car he drove all the way from his house over to here, every morning, and to go back home in it, every night Heading straight for the kitchen and feeling a little bit hungry. I made my way into the frozen room and roamed around, searching for something simple and light to prepare I ended up picking a couple of noodles, some sausages, red peppers, seasoning and most importantly, a chilled bottle of vodka Turning on the cooker the minute I was out the frozen room, I placed a pot of water on the stove and left it to boil before getting my bottle of vodka open and directly drinking from the bottle

almost never bother with a glass cup when I’m alone, it is more enjoyable and easier to consume this way
