Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 155

Luca’s POV

“You wouldn’t be attending any kind of gathering relating to stuff where you’re supposed to have a date, without your wife coming with you, she’s now your wife, which automatically makes her your date for this kind of thing, remember?” James started to speak again and I felt my back press into the back of my chair even more, as I allowed his words to slowly sink into my head.

Ok but i honestly never thought about it this way. I mean, I did, but it still didn’t register fully in my mind that it was going to start happening like this after I got married.

I shook my head a little in order to push the hair which had fallen into my face, out of the way as I stared up at James once again.

“Remember, this is your first official outing after you guys got married, and of course, the social media should have been waiting for this day ever since the second day after you got married. So I’m like a hundred percent sure that every one of those paparazzi are going to want to attend this wedding today, just so they could get a glimpse of you and your wife and so they can be able to publish some trending new once again, because you’re expected to attend, every one is expecting you to attend, you can’t not attend.” James continued once again and my mind started to wander back home, to think that we had a really flat relationship back at home until about three days ago.

“I get you now, I guess?” I finally started to speak and I carded my fingers through my hair before deciding to continue. “I’d have to leave here early, to go prepare for it, and Y’know, to inform Sofia about the wedding, so she can get ready and stuff.”

“I just know that you can’t wait to show her off tonight, you bastard.” James snickered and I gave him a blank and confused look. “What are you talking about?” I demanded and all he did was to roll his eyes as he finally pushed his chair back and pushed himself to his feet.

“You know what I was referring to, fucker.” He replied, and then he leaned down and placed a palm on the middle of the table before starting to speak once again. “So, what are you going to do about those guys who ambushed you on the way back from work, are you going to go in with this plan? You’re still going to be revenging back? Right?”

I leaned forward in my seat and placed my hands on the table, locking my eyes with Luca’s, before finally starting to speak. “Yeah, yeah… I suppose. Don’t worry, we’ll discuss more about it tomorrow, once this wedding thing is out of the way.” I paused and thought for a couple of moments before starting to speak once again.

“This is like the thing which I can’t do without attending, along with the council meeting on Sunday, right? The other appointments can be totally skipped and postponed, right?”

“Hm, let me see…” James replied and waisted a few seconds before starting to shake his head, he hadn’t bothered to check in anywhere, all he needed to do was to check the invincible lift he carried around in his head, and then he started to speak. “There are still two or three appointments which I’m very sure of, that you cannot miss, I’ll have to check the office and my phone before I can be completely sure. But after those completely really important ones, we can just reschedule, no big deal in those ones, except the fact that it’s going to drag us back. That’s all.”

“Hm, alright. That’s great then, because I honestly don’t feel like any other appointments this week, which know sounds dumb because I can’t not stop attending appointments and securing deals and so on.” I continued before leaning back in my seat and waving my hand at James, before starting once again. “You can go on, I’ll figure myself out.”

“Alright man.” He breathed out a reply as he pushed himself to his feet and started to walk backwards with his eyes still locked with mine, and then he suddenly paused and started to speak. “Don’t forget to attend the wedding with a gift, remember, because it’s very important.”

I swiped my hand over my face and let out a low groan at that, because I know he was right about it being important, and I know that I had forgotten about it and might have ended up attending the gathering without any sort of gift.

“What can I even give them as a wedding gift?” I demanded as I started to massage the side or my forehead with my fingers, with my head resting on the edge of my chair.

“A wine, and some fancy things.” James suggested and then he paused and pointed his thumb backwards so it pointed at the door which he was currently backing. “You can send one of your secretaries to quietly go to the supermarket for you, and send them to buy the stuff.”

“Oh alright, good idea, I’ll do that right now.” I replied to him immediately, and because it was totally true and nothing but the truth, I decided to let him know, even though I’ve always talked about it. “You’re the best James.”
