Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 42

The three of us watched as she stormed out of the door. Josh and I let out a sigh of pure relief now that Janine was gone. I wasn’t sure if I would call our mission a success but at least Janine was gone, and I guess that I can go home now.

“Sorry for scary you a little back there. Thank you so much for your help,” Josh thanked me as he took my hand in his.

“Oh…glad that I could help…” I replied, putting on a smile. Truthfully, I was still recovering from the shock.

“Let’s go back,” Hayden said to me as he turned to head for the door.

“Wait. Why don’t you two stay and enjoy the party before you go? I mean, you’re here anyways,” Josh suggested with a warm smile.

Hayden didn’t say no to his friend’s request. Josh led us outside to where the main party was going on. I didn’t know anyone, obviously, but Hayden seemed to know many people who were there. Once we were out of the private lounge a beautiful blonde woman in a very showy red dress came bounding up to Hayden immediately.

“Hayden! Oh…I’ve been waiting for you,” the woman said, her red tinted lips curving into a seductive smile.

“What do you want?” Hayden said, his eyes cold.

The woman seemed unfazed by Hayden’s cold reception. I guess there are some women who are attracted to his cold character…

“You never got back to me last time. I have so many things I have to tell you…come here…” the beautiful woman pleaded as she grabbed Hayden’s right arm and started pressing herself against his side.

“That’s Daniella…she and Hayden’s got history…” Josh whispered into my ear.

I just nodded absentmindedly as we both stood there watching Hayden being dragged away by Daniella. Josh shook his head from side to side as he laughed a little to himself. On the other hand, I was boiling with anger. How dare he bring me to this party to use me and then leave me behind with his friend while he goes off with another woman? Oh…the nerve!

“Don’t worry about Hayden. He’ll be back in no time. What about we got get a little something to drink?” Josh suggested with a friendly smile.

At least Josh was being friendly and hospitable towards me, unlike a certain someone. I let Josh take my hand in his as he led me after him to the bar.

“What would you like?” Josh asked.

“Something not strong…maybe a cocktail?” I replied a little hesitantly.

“Sure. Let me pick one for you,” Josh said.

Josh expertly ordered a cocktail for me and a drink for himself. We sat next to each other on the bar stools as we chatted and waited for the arrival of our drinks.

“Thank you so much for today. It must have been hard on you, getting pulled into this and all…” Josh thanked me again.

“Oh…it’s ok. I hope…things work out well with Janine,” I said, truly meaning it.

My life was complicated now too so I could understand his frustrations. I guess we all have our own set of trouble in our lives.
