Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 138

Luca’s POV

I arrived at the office and alighted the car as soon as the door got pulled open, and I started to make my way towards the office as soon as possible, a quick glance at my wrist watch showed that the time was some minutes past eight p.m in the morning, and I knew even without getting up to my office yet, that James had already gotten to the office before me, like he had said he was going to do yesterday.

It wasn’t like I had planned to arrive here at the office late, it was only because of the whole thing with Sofia that had made me use more than my usual time in bed, coupled with the fact that I had to take a new car here to the office this morning, seeing as my car which I usually take along with me to almost everywhere I go, got really shot at, last night on my way home.

I alighted the elevator car and started to make my way towards my office, letting myself into it and as usual, nodding my head at my secretaries who were already there at the office, before making my way directly into mine and shutting the door behind me.

I placed my phone on the desk along with one of my guns which was poking the side of my thighs way too much for me to be able to handle anymore. The sound of my door getting pushed open without any knock echoed around the office and I didn’t even bother to glance behind me to check who it was, because I was already sure that it was James. He was the only person who could come into my office unannounced, without bothering to knock, and also the only person who didn’t need to wait for my permission before making my way into the office.

I mean, he even comes into my office without me being here, since he was literally my right hand man when it comes to the mafia, and my assistant CEO when it comes to anything about the company here.

“You’re late, just as I knew you were going to be.” He said to me as soon as he had made a few steps into the room and I rolled my eyes a little as I started to insert the gun back into my pants, in a better spot than it was in before.

“Shut up, James.” I said to him without turning around to stare at him, and I pulled the phone above the side of my hips, before finally turning around to stare at him.

He snorted a little before walking towards me and pausing a few feet away from where I was currently standing in.

“Man, we’re running late already.” He started to speak as soon as a moment had passed and I lifted a part of my shoulder up a little.

“We can just head over there now, we still have some time on our side.” I said to him in reply as I turned around and picked up my phone from the table and shoved it into my pocket, before starting to sort out through some files on my desk, looking for the particular file which we were going to need today, at the place where we were going to, for a meeting. We were going to be heading over there with one of my secretaries, in order for the secretary to taken down some much needed notes whenever the meeting was going on.

“Let’s head over there already then, you’ve sorted out the list of things we are supposed to use for the meeting, right?” I asked him as we started to make our way out of the office, with James tailing my footsteps.

“Yeah, they’re at my office, we’d stop there and get them on our way down the stairs.” I said to him in reply as I paused in the middle of my secretaries’ office. The three secretaries all got to their feet after about a moment and waited for me to say whatever it was that I wanted to say.

“Who has less work to do today?” I asked and all three of them stared at each other before the youngest and tallest of the three secretaries, who was a boy, raised his hand high into the air in indication.

“I am.” He replied to me and I nodded my head at me before craning my hand forward in a ‘come here’ motion, and he did as commanded in the next second, coming to stand a few feet away from me.

“You’d accompany me over to somewhere where a meeting is going to take place at, you’re to take important notes of the meeting, as well as whatever you notice that’s going to stand out in there.” I said to him and watched as he nodded his head once in reply, and then I continued.

“Take your notepads and a laptop, be downstairs in five.” I continued before continuing to walk towards the door, making my way out of it, fully aware of James making my way out of the secretaries’ office.

“Let’s go over to your office and get the stuffs, then we'll head over to the place.” I said to him as soon as he fell into steps beside me, and I watched from the side of the eyes as he nodded his head in reply.
