Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 256

Luca’s POV

“Exactly, that’s how it is for me, so I wonder how you know when I’m panicking?”

“Oh, it’s pretty easy. For one, you start to tug on your hair when something isn’t going your way, when you’re feeling restless and when you’re deep in thoughts.” He informed me and I swallowed slowly as I blinked a little, feeling the hand that was buried in my hair go stiff after a few more seconds.

“I see you have been studying me.” I pointed out after a moment, and his answering laugh sounded so rich as it echoed into the phone.

“It’s not about me studying you, dumbo. It’s literally just me seeing you do this same thing over and over again for a really long time, do you get?”

“Hm, yeah I do get, I guess.” I responded to him after a few moments.

“Exactly.” He echoed out. “So, what are you going to do?”

“About the whole security thing? I honestly don’t know yet.” I paused and started to massage the sides of my forehead in the next moment before continuing. “You know I completely forgot about it, if not, I’d have had the time to have thoroughly thought this through before even going to bed last night.” I said to him as I glanced around once again.

“Well, it’s a good thing I thought about it then, isn’t it?”

“You thought about it? That’s really great, so what did you come up with?” I asked almost immediately as I pushed myself off my chair and started to slowly pace around the side of my table.

“I honestly came up with a lot of ideas, you know? I always like to have a plan and a back up plan and another plan to back up the back up plan… because this is pretty important.” He started to speak and I nodded my head along with him before starting to speak.

“Yes, of course, it’s very important. So what did you end up coming up with?”

“I don’t know if this would be able to fit into a phone conversation…” He started to say after a few long seconds and I started to supply a suggestion before he could complete his sentence.

“How about I come to yours? Or you can come to mine, I want us to talk about this today so we can assign the whole thing to people we’d be assigning it to tonight instead of tomorrow.”

“Hm, I guess I can stop at yours on my way from the office today, that’s so much better and easier for the both of us, I think.” He started to say into the phone and I nodded a little before starting to speak.

“That sounds like a plan then.” I paused at the other side of my office and started to move my fingers through the arranged files on one side of the high table.

“When would you be leaving the office today?” I said into the phone after some time, and at the moment, I was with a particular file which I had fished out from the pile of files on the table.

“This evening.”

“Don’t stay in too late.” I said to him and I knew without a doubt that he was going to respond to those words of mine firstly with an eye roll before finally huffing out a stupid response, which would be the complete opposite of what I’d have wanted to hear. It was always the same every time as this afternoon obviously wasn’t an exemption.

“Yeah, sure, no promises though.”

“Just call me before you leave the office.” I reminded him and listened so he hummed in response.

“You’d be staying behind for dinner, right?”
