Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 315

“Hayden…what do you want to do?” I asked bluntly.

“About?” he asked as if he was playing innocent.

“All this. What do you want to do…with your future?” I inquired as my eyes pleaded desperately for him to answer my question.

I knew that he hated his job because he told me so himself. However, does that necessarily mean that he still wanted Harvey to take over? If Harvey decides to take over, what will happen to Hayden?

“I don’t know. I haven’t decided,” Hayden replied without any struggle.

Had he been thinking about this for a long time already? Probably.

What surprised me more than the fact that he seemed to be so at ease about it was the fact that he didn’t seem at all bothered about not knowing what he wanted.

“But you’ve thought about it, right?” I asked softly.

I felt like if I pushed him too hard, he would escape and sink back into his shell without ever coming out. If that happened, then I would be locked out again and I would never get any answers from him. I bit my lower lip as I tried to pick my words wisely. If I stirred the water too much, the goldfish would swim away, right?

It wasn’t like I thought that Hayden resembled a goldfish or anything like that…

“Of course, I have. I’ve been sort of forced to think about it ever since my brother decided to ‘die’,” Hayden replied with a dry laugh.

“Right…” I mumbled, without knowing what more to say.

“Don’t look so stressed out about it. Just be honest to yourself and think about it,” Hayden advised.

I wished I didn’t have to stress out about all of this too, but the pressure that was being placed on me was immense. Just look at what the boss said to me, for example.

“The boss told me that I’ll be replaced…” I mumbled softly.

“Did he?” Hayden asked before he started to laugh.

I gasped loudly when I realized that I must have said that out loud. What am I thinking? I wasn’t going to tell him about that. Now Hayden probably thinks that I’m just worried about being replaced by some other woman…and maybe I was worried about that too…

“You shouldn’t be laughing. It’s not a funny matter!” I retorted before I started pouting to gloss over my feelings of embarrassment.

“You’re right. The matter isn’t funny but you’re the funny one,” Hayden said while he continued to laugh.

He’s so carefree about all this, seriously. He’s laughing and talking so casually like none of this truly concerned him and I can’t even tell what he’s really thinking or feeling.

“It’s amazing…” I mumbled.

“What is?” he asked, curiously and I felt his eyes on me.

“How you’re so carefree and chill about this…” I replied honestly.

“Does it seem that way to you?” he asked as his eyes watched me intently.

“Yes…” I replied.

“I see…” Hayden said lazily.

There was a moment of silence as both of us retreated back into our own minds. I hated the thoughts that flooded my head and the emotions that flooded my heart.

If Hayden isn’t going to tell me about his thoughts of marriage then what about his thoughts on taking over the gang?

“Hayden, will you take over Torex?” I asked in a whisper.

“Hmmm…” Hayden made a thoughtful sound like he was busy contemplating his answer.
