Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 31

His words were solemn and sounded serious as if he was making a sincere promise to her. The girl was still childish, she looked up at him with her worn out depressed eyes and showed him her pinky finger, "Do you pinky promise?"

Ryan couldn't help but get his straight lips curl up into a smile, he hooked his pinky finger with her before making his promise to her.

This was illogical, as a grown up boy he never believed on this childish rituals and pinky promises but seeing that this filled the girl with rays of hope and happiness he gladly put up with it.the tension between his furrowed eyebrows and the room started to ease out as the girl's sound of chuckling resounded in the room.

Ryan got up and two boys left after saying goodbye to the little girl who even came down with Miss Lala to escort them out.

Inside the car Ryan had his eyes hooked on the girl until his car moved out making her disappear from his sight. Jack said, "She is a really good girl, isn't she?" Ryan chose to stay mum and looked out of the window, even though this question was responded with a lack of reaction by the boy Jack could still say that his friend really liked this girl.

Without minding him he further said, "You shouldn't have promised her; she seemed to value that pinky thing a lot. She will be really disappointed when she will realise you were lying to her."

"Who was lying to whom?" Ryan finally spoke up and looked into his friend's eyes. It didn't take two seconds for Jack to realise what his friend was saying, his eyes flared open, "Are you serious?"

Ryan's mind flashed with the events that happened hours ago- how she crashed onto him, how she apologized, how she talked and how she made him promise that he will be back. He only met her for a day and that too for a couple of hours and still the girl managed to strike a string in his young heart; she meant something to him that he himself had to figure.

He, of course, was gonna find her again and find answers to his own questions.

That evening Ryan had a long talk with his father seeking permission for him and Jack to go to the company. When asked that why he was all of a sudden interested in going there Ryan didn't lie and honestly replied that he promised Catherine that he would come to meet her.

"I am a man, dad. And you taught me that men never go back on their word, especially words they make to a woman."

Mr. Neguyen didn't find anything suspicious about it, in fact he liked the fact that his son was making good relationships with the Silva's. They would be meeting each other more in future and this was a good way of dwelling.

The Neguyen's were one of the oldest Mafia clan in Spain and were thus the most influential. Their relationship with Silva was that of friendship and harmony; Master Neguyen and President Silva were friends and decided to corporate when they legally took over their family businesses.
