Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 220

All I could do was blink rapidly to make sure that I wasn’t just seeing things. No matter what I did, I couldn’t take my eyes off the picture on the front cover of the magazine or calm the racing beat of my heart.

I stared down at the magazine in my hand while Auntie chatted away proudly about Hayden's achievements. However, her words were lost to me as my mind zoned in to focus on the picture that was printed on the magazine cover. Hayden stared back at me from the sketch that I had drawn of him. It felt like forever had passed since I last saw this drawing.

Back then when our contract was coming to an end, I drew a picture of Hayden as a farewell gift for him. Back then, I honestly thought that we would never see each other again and I never thought that I would see this drawing again either. But how did my drawing end up on the cover of this magazine.

My eyes narrowed as I suspected that the rapid inflow of commission requests definitely had something to do with the fact that my drawing was featured on the magazine all along with the appropriate credit for the artist. Yes, that artist was me.

I wondered when Hayden would make it back; I need to get to the bottom of this and I bet my life that Hayden had a hand in this.

"I've already read his interview over a couple of times. You should read it too, Malissa," Auntie suggested excitedly.

From how she was acting, I wouldn't be surprised if she could go on and on about Hayden for days. I thought that Hayden was an amazing person in his own slightly twisted way, but Auntie surely was overreacting. I flipped through the pages to the pages that contained Hayden's interview. My drawing was featured again inside the magazine along with Hayden's interview and some photos of him looking smart and formal in his business look.

Seeing this side of him reminded me that Hayden and Torex had a legitimate side as well. Due to the size and prominence of the Torex conglomerate, he was usually in the spotlight as the key family member. I doubted that Hayden liked that though.

I took a seat at the sofa with the magazine still in my hand as I started reading Hayden's interview. Overall, it was usual, and nothing was unexpected. I bet he had someone write out his interview script because it probably had to comply with some PR regulations or policies of the Torex group. The final part of his interview caught my attention.

'The Torex group has started efforts to support fresh talents across various fields of art as a way to give back to society on top of other usual CSR efforts...'

The interview went on to mention the drawing of Hayden and included compliments to the artist and the importance of recognizing and support new and aspiring artists. The interview concluded with Hayden encouraging others to do the same.

Just when I finished reading through the pages of his interview in the magazine, the door opened, and Hayden strode in with such perfect timing. My eyes were immediately drawn to him, and I shot out of my seat.

“What is this?” I asked as I waved the magazine that I had in my hand around.

Hayden didn’t look surprised at all as he stared down at me with a look of complete disinterest.

“What is what?” he asked lazily.
