Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 140

Luca’s POV

“Nothing, never mind about that, just ignore that.” I breathed out with another lift of my shoulders, right before I turned my head around to stare at James, and I got greeted with a scowl on his face which he aimed at me.

“What?” I demanded with an eye roll.

“You can’t just leave me hanging, the fuck?” He demanded and I scoffed absent mindedly.

“It’s not important, just let it go.” I said to him with a small chuckle and I watched as he looked me up and down before also starting to speak. “If it wasn’t, you sure as hell wouldn’t have brought it up.”

“Well, I’m saying it isn’t important anymore, so it’s either you let it go, or you deal with it and try to figure it out yourself.” I said to him in a calm voice and watched as he stared at me unbelievably for a few seconds before finally letting out a small sigh.

“You fucker.” He breathed out and I breathed out a short laugh.

“So, you going to tell me what made you arrive late to the office?” I heard James start to ask once again and I turned my head around to stare at him, and I nodded my head once before starting to speak.

“Exercise. I was gyming and I got really carried away.” I replied to him, my eyes moving past him to land on the shapes of my guards and driver who were already making their way over to this particular place where the cars were parked in.

“Oh.” James echoed out and I nodded my head once, as I pushed away from the car.

*******

I started to pack up the files which I was still reviewing, immediately after I had checked the time on the wall clock on a part of my office. It was currently some minutes past seven p.m in the evening and this was like the first time in a really long time that I was going home at such an early time.

And, what was my reason for deciding to go home earlier than normal? Of course it’s none other than Sofia.

I placed the files at the second table in the office and walked towards the first window in the office which I had pulled open today, pulling it close before heading towards the shelf of files here in my office and quickly searching for a particular file plastic cover, I needed to get the files which I was already done with, into it tonight, to avoid getting everything jumbled up with themselves tomorrow morning. I spotted the file after a few minutes and I tugged it out, moving towards my table and arranging the required files into it, and once I was done, I closed the file carefully and made my way back to the shelf, inserting it in the same spot where I had gotten it from.

I picked up my suit jacket and shrugged into it after a few minutes, buttoning it up and shoving my phone into my pocket as well.

I had already texted James some minutes ago that I was going to be leaving the office earlier than usual, he had said he was going to text me tonight, and thst he was going to stay late in the office before heading home, and that was that.

I made my way out of the office and shut the door firmly behind me, pausing the the same spot which I had stopped in, this morning, when I had asked one of the secretaries to accompany me to the meeting, and at the end of the day, we had ended up taking not one bit two of the three secretaries along with us.

“You can leave now, if you’re done. I’m heading home right now, so everyone of you is free to leave here early as well.” I said to them after a second and nodded at their head with an exclamation of appreciation, before finally exiting their office and making my way towards the elevator.

My mind strayed back towards Sofia as the car started to descend the floors, and I moved my weight from foot to foot as I willed the elevator to move faster than it was moving at the moment.

As usual, I had received my usual daily tab, and it had come from Ryan this time. The tab had been brief, as well as straight to the point.

Sir,

Mrs Ricci was her normal self today, she finally tried to paint and although she didn’t get what she was trying to get, she was still quite happy with what she ended up doing because she had fun doing it.
