Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 79

Sofia’s POV

The car started to suddenly slow down and I blinked my eyes open a little and stared sideways, throw the car’s window, and then I noticed that we were almost approaching the mall and thst the car was about to pull into one of the empty spots in the parking lot. I sat up in my seat and smoothed my bed down with my fingers before reaching for my bag and picking it up to sling it over my arm while my phone was carefully clutched in my right hand. The car finally pulled into the parking spot and the engine finally stopped running after a few seconds.

I watched as Ethan and Ryan stepped out of the car almost at the same time, and Ryan quickly walked to the back of the car to pull the door open for me.

“Thank you.” I said in a quiet voice as I stepped out of the car and shifted to the side for the door of the car to be pushed close. I pulled on the length of my gown on noticing that it had ridden upwards, flushing in embarrassment a little, on realizing that Ryan’s eyes had dropped towards my thighs for a fleeting moment.

It was like the world was suddenly against me when it comes to anything involving Ryan, because I had no idea why Ryan was always the one to always witness all my embarrassing moments.

I started making my way towards the front of the mall and by the faint footsteps which fell into steps behind me, I knew without any doubts that Ryan and Ethan had already fallen into steps behind me.

Like I had expected after all.

I paused at the entrance of the glass door and stared at myself in the glass walls around the front of the mall, Ryan and Ethan were like tall looking statues behind me. The door of the mall was pulled open by the gate keeper of the mall and I smiled at him a little as I walked through the doorway and stared around the whole surrounding of the hallway as soon as I stepped in.

As weird as this might sound, this was like the first time I was stepping foot into a mall as big as this.

And my gosh, it was really big.

I continued to walk further into the mall before pushing on my tracks on realizing that I didn’t know where to go, where to look and where to start searching for things from. I slowly turned around until I was looking up at the two bodyguards who were standing a few feet behind me.

“Is there a problem, ma’am?” Ryan asked first and I turned my head towards him and shook my head before starting to speak. “Um, do you know your way around here?”

“Yes, I do ma’am. What do you need help with?” He asked almost immediately and I puffed out a breath and moved my weight from foot to foot before starting to say, “Well, I want to get all the necessary equipment for paintings and every other thing that I am going to need for it.”

“I don’t really know a lot about that, ma’am.” Ryan supplied an answer after waiting for a few seconds. I watched as he turned his head around until he was staring at Ethan.

“You know your way around here, man?”

Ethan shook his head once and that was that, perhaps I was going to have to meet one of the helpers here in the mall and ask them to show me around.

“Where are the um, the helpers?” I asked the two men who were still staring down at me and continued almost immediately, “Like the assistants… or, they’re supposed to be some assistants here, right? The ones who are supposed to be around when…”

I was still explaining what I meant to the bodyguards when I felt a presence beside me and quickly tore my gaze away from Ryan and Ethan to look sideways, and my eyes landed on the body of a woman… and damn, she is tall.

She had some height on me despite the fact that I had heels on and I had to stare up at her before I could be able to stare into her face. I figured out that since none of the guards were panicking, that she wasn’t harmful one bit.

“Good day ma’am.” The woman started to speak before I could begin to question her for coming to suddenly stand tha close beside me.

“Hello,” I murmured in reply as I took a small step backwards, creating some space between us.

That was when I noticed that she had on the same uniform that the man who had pulled the door of the mall open had as well.

“I am Ama, and I am here to be of help to you.” She paused and smiled brightly at me, but I figured the smile was the same type she gives to everyone, for the sake of her job, and not because she genuinely meant it.
