Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 20

Bee was overjoyed as she walked up to the phone and received it; keeping it on her ears she tried to hear the other side but to her surprise it was as silent as a graveyard. Bee pushed the phone closer into her ears but it was still silent; how can Prince Charming be this silent. The girl didn’t mind as she cheerfully greeted, “Prince Charming, how are you today.”

Ryan stared into void without replying, he had been awfully busy for the last two days and was packed even now but there was no denying that talking to her felt more important than anything. Every night he would ask Jack and make sure she was alright there. Seeing him mum the girl said ‘Hello’ quite a few times before looking up at the maid and replying disheartened, “Phone is broken!”

The man abruptly snapped out of his fantasies when he heard her, without wasting another second he replied slowly, “I am here.”

Bee heard his charming voice over the phone, it’s been only two days since she heard from him and she had to admit that she missed him. The man continued, “I am fine. You?”

“I am good... You know what happened today...” The girl excitedly started to tell him every single thing she did today. Ryan didn’t stop her and would stretch a ‘mmm’ every now and then. Jack whispered to remind him that he still had work he needed to take care of; the man threw him a nonchalant glace as he simply shut his laptop and leaned back on his seat. Jack choked on his own saliva, his action were like a silent proclamation that ‘she is more important than anything’. Jack could only smile helplessly; while the mob was silent in here the person on the other side wasn’t.

She was already excited about talking to him after a long time and had so much to tell him; without even asking if he was busy she went on blabbering. The man patiently heard her out and when she was finally done she went silent out of blue.

In a tone which was low and opposite to her previous self she asked, “When are you coming back?”

The man’s heart skipped a beat as something strange welled up in his heart; he replied, “I will be back by next week.” He knew his answer would lower her spirits more and as he guessed she went mum after that.

Is she sad? Ryan tensed up as he got up and walked out of the door; finding himself a place in an empty balcony not too far away he asked, “Why are you silent?”

The girl breathed out, “I wish you came a little earlier!”

Ryan fell in a trance after hearing this reply; what was she indicating by saying this line. She even sounded melancholic! Ryan wasn’t able to make out why was she saying that; he had a very low contact with people especially woman and thus wasn’t able to figure out what was she trying to say.

He abruptly hung up strode back to the Jack; after being hung up on Bee furrowed her eyebrows. Her cheeks puffed up with anger as she looked up at the maid and complained, “He hung up without saying a good bye.”

The maid chuckled and pulled her cheeks, “Don’t be mad at Young Master, Miss Bee. He must have had some urgent work.” Bee was about to say something but was distracted as she picked on a scrumptious aroma from the kitchen. Drooling her heart out she jumped away into the kitchen.
