Judas kiss novel Chapter 32

"Hey." Alfredo said anxiously at the beautiful woman who stood before him. She seemed puzzled, she had not been expecting to bump into him on her way to the hotel staff room.

"Ehem, Mr. Molinero." She cleared her throat. Alfredo's body guard was so glad they had finally seen each other because his boss had become beyond unbearable. His eyes flickered to her petite body, the way she nervously looked at everything but him. He didn't want her to fear him in fact he just wanted to love her and shower her with gifts like the Queen she is.

"It's Alfredo." He pursued his lips into a thin line. He didn't mean to come off as rude. He regretted the way those words had left his lips. Alfredo just wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her he convince her that he wasn't the monster that society seemed to make him. She must have heard the rumors or read the papers; he was the devil but only because he needed to come off as intimidating towards his rivalries. Her lips shaped into an 'O' clearly she wanted to say something but he looked at her eagerly as she closed her mouth and her pink lips formed into a thin line.

"Mila-" One of her co-workers greeted as they passed by the corridor. She gave them a small gently smile, it didn't reach her eyes. It was almost noon and she had been called to take an emergency shift from Frances the oldest hotel maid who was in her late thirties but didn't look at day over twenty-five. She knew she would have to face her fears one way or the other. She would eventually have to face Alfredo either way because he was persistent and he was starting to bug Della.

"Allow me to take you out to lunch-" Alfredo said giving her a warm smile. She felt herself shiver with warmth, how could she deny him. When he looked so concerned, so caring and so adamant. "I presume this must be your lunch hour? I could always speak to the manager to let you off early."

"NO!" She came off as aggressive. "It's not my lunch hour and I will not just leave my job just to wine and dine with fucking-" She paused. "Gang leaders." She said under her breath.

"We need to talk mi amour." Alfredo said ignoring what she what just said.

"And I need to go back to work!" She said adamantly.

"Mila-" He chuckled. "Don't make me drag you out of here." He said calmly, it made Mila shiver with fear. She didn't understand how this scared her and turned her on at the same time.

"Uh-" before she could say anything else, he interrupted her. "Book us a table at the Montego restaurant right now." He instructed his body guard who seemed to grab his phone immediately.

"Get the car ready." His body guard instructed.

"I'm not going anywhere dressed like this." She whined.

"You look sexy in that dress actually my pretty sexy maid." He smirked making her blush.

"Stop." She wanted to smile but put on her most convincing angry face.

Once all set, Alfredo turned to look at Mila. She felt beyond nervous but she kept telling herself you can do this…

"I'm not a bad man, Mila." Alfredo said almost vulnerable. "I know it's too early and believe me... I don’t usually say this but I love you."
