Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 380

All eyes were on Hayden’s raised hand including my own. The silence that dominated the room made it feel like time had stopped. Suddenly, many more hands shot up into the air at the same time and it was like time had resumed itself again. Although Hayden had told me that something of this effect would take place, I still found myself a little stunned at the almost comical scene in front of me. This whole thing was pretty much rigged for sure from the start. It was like the managers didn’t even put any thought in the partnership and was just blindly following Hayden and his choice.

That being said, not every manager of Torex hand their hands up in the air. It was just like before, not all managers seemed to be on Hayden’s side or in favor of him taking over. Although that was the case, I could tell that there were more than enough hands in the air for this proposal to pass.

“Thank you. If there is no one else, then we will proceed forward. May I ask everyone who votes against his proposal to please raise your hand. Also, may I remind you that abstaining from voting is not an option. Everyone must vote,” the man announced again.

Fewer hands rose in the air, and it could be quickly concluded that the partnership had passed. I breathe a long sigh of relief before I began smiling a little to myself. This partnership has finally gone through, and it is finally going to happen. Of course, I didn’t know the real business details of the deal, but I was glad enough that it would bring some peace between the two gangs. I also doubt that Hayden would vote to support it if he thought that it didn’t make sense business-wise regardless of how much he wanted to read that letter that Ethan gave to me.

“Thank you for your votes and your patience. Based on the results, the partnership between Torex and Silva in joining hands in the underground auction business will go ahead,” the man announced before concluding the meeting.

The men seated around the table clapped their hands politely at the announcement while I couldn’t keep myself from smiling. Hayden only turned and smirked at me. He was probably satisfied that he got something that he wanted along with a business deal with Silva. Ethan looked quite satisfied as well. It seemed like everything was coming to a happy ending for everybody.

“Well, that concludes the meeting for today. Off to do whatever you need to do!” the boss commanded quite loudly to officially end the meeting.

Many mangers started filing out of the room until only the boss, Ethan, Hayden and I remained in the room. Since Hayden did not move from his seat, I stayed seated next to him like before.

“Thank you for supporting this, Hayden,” Ethan spoke up.

“You can thank Malissa. Actually, I’ll give her your thanks,” Hayden replied passionlessly.

His cold response made Ethan laugh out pretty loudly.

“Congratulations again on your wedding. Are you going to give the ceremony another shot?” Ethan asked teasingly.

The boss who had been observing their exchange and decided to jump in enthusiastically.

“Actually, we plan to host wedding next Saturday. Are you free? You’re welcomed to join in,” the boss chimed in loudly.
