So basically, from what Hayden explained to me, the Torex Corporate was legal and worked just like any other giant conglomerate. The conglomerate is managed by hired professionals that were chosen by the Board of Directors, which were mostly Torex family members. On the other hand, there is the grey part of the business which deals with gang-related activities and business. The building has over eighty floors with access restricted from the 71st floor.
What that means it that the legit part of the business happens in the lower floors while the restricted floors are where gang members gather and work on the grey part of the business. What amazes me is that a mafia gang actually needs a large group of people to do desk jobs such as accounting and the like.
Not that I was impressed or anything…
“Do you want to know the rest?” Hayden asked excitedly.
“You mean more about your gang’s activities?” I asked, making a disinterested face.
How about ‘no, thank you,’?
“Of course. Isn’t that what everyone wants to know?” Hayden teased.
“And…?” I said, wondering if he would continue.
“I’ll tell you everything…when we get married,” Hayden said with a grin.
Which means…never…
I couldn’t stop myself from laughing a little at this joke. Hayden laughed along with me, surprisingly.
Our conversation was interrupted when there were a few knocks on the door.
“Come in,” Hayden said, loud enough for whoever it was on the other side of the door to hear.
The door opened and a man dressed in a black suit walked in. I have never seen this man before. The man bowed to Hayden and glanced a littler nervously at me.
“It’s ok. Just say what you have to say,” Hayden said, noticing the man’s nervousness of having me in the room.
“The boss wants to see you…and the lady as well,” the man said concisely.
The boss wants to see me? I wasn’t surprised about the boss wanting to see Hayden, but he also wanted to see me?
“Now?” Hayden asked.
“Yes, Master Hayden. Now…” the man said before bowing and taking his leave immediately.
Well, I guess we knew what was up next on our agenda now.
Hayden sighed, visibly extremely annoyed. For whatever reason, Hayden didn’t seem to get along well with his father, or perhaps, they shared a deep bond that I didn’t understand.
“As you can see, one of my jobs is to deal with my father…” Hayden said as he got up from his seat.
He motioned with his hand for me to follow him out of the room. Hayden led me along the long hallway and then to a private elevator. I knew it was supposed to be private because there were around six guards standing guard at the entrance.
We rode up the elevator together and when we got off, we were greeted with a long, silent and very empty hallway. Our destination was clear, there was only one door at the very far end of the hallway. That must be, the boss’s room. I’ve never met the boss here before…
“Nervous? There’s no need to be…” Hayden turned to say to me.
Before I could say anything in reply, he took my hand and began pulling me along with him. I wouldn’t say that I was very nervous, but I didn’t have a good feeling about this. Nothing good ever came out of meeting the boss, for me at least.
