I disinfected the finger and wrapped it in a band-aid. I left the stain and kept mopping.

Knock knock
“Hi Angelica.” She was one of the maids. “What are you doing here?”
She gulped
“Sir is calling you.” She looked apologetic.
“Ok, I'll be down in a sec. Let me change.”
I wasn’t going to walk around a house filled with men in a nightgown.
I quickly changed into a pair of shorts and a baggy shirt. I stopped in the corridor noticing a group of men in the living room.
I peeked inside but wasn’t slick with it so I got caught.
“What a beauty, I have never seen her around. Who is this Dante.” the man said.
Dante glared at the man who shut his mouth.
He then gestured to me to clear the coffee table in between them that had Empty bottles of alcohol.
I brought them some water and juice then went back to my room. I pulled out my phone to send some money to mom since I got paid before shutting down my phone and going to bed.
The next day, I was really not in the mood for any drama so I decided to clean up quick and get the day over with.
As usual, I started with the rooms then the corridor and then the living room. In The afternoon, I was asked to take lunch to my bosses’ room because he would not be coming downstairs.
I knocked but go no answer. I opened the door slightly peeking in but almost fell forward when someone opened it a bit to wide. I looked up to see Dante staring at me with a very serious expression. Does this man feel emotions.
“I c-came to bring you lunch.” he took the tray and slammed the door shut.
What a jerk.
I had other things to worry about so I didn't care.
While I was walking in the hallway, I got a flashback about my encounter with Chris during my previous mission. He didn't know it was me but it made me wonder whether he left for that mission and has he worked with the Mafia his entire life and since I was part of the people against him will he kill me. I had so many questions but noone could answer them. I was so stressed put with everything that is happening plus Lorenzo who keeps reminding me about the job I have to complete. I decided that I would end this.

Later on in the evening, I went grocery shopping. It was getting kinda late but I decided to go quick on my way back, I noticed some guys following me. I quickened my steps because I didn't really want to knock anyone out today. From fast walking to running but this guy wouldn't give up. I really didn't want to do this today but he was giving me no choice.
As I was about to drop the bag, I saw a black Ashton Martin coming to my view, I turned back to the guy with a smirk and he immediately ran away.
The car pulled up beside me and I saw that it was Matteo.
“What are you doing here” I asked
“Well, Celine told me you went to buy groceries so I went out to look for you thinking you were in trouble and I guess I was right.” I scoffed.
“I wasn't in trouble. I was going to handle it until you showed up.”
“That is very nice to know. Comeon let me take you back.”
“Oh, that's fine I can go back myself.”
“After what just happened nuh uh.”
“It’s really not a big deal” he looked at me like he was trying to say ‘gey your ass in the car.’
I hopped in hesitantly and he sped off.
He drove into the mansion garage filled with multiple luxurious cars. I had never seen such expensive things before.
“Wowwwwww” I stared at them in dazzlement
“You like” Matteo smirked at me.
“Are these yours?”
“No but I have better. These are Dante’s.” Damn there were at least 20 cars in here.
“What does he do with all of them, these are like 30 in total”
“Well he is a billionaire so, he can do whatever he wants.” he took off his seatbelt.
I stepped out of the car with the groceries in my hand heading towards the door.
“Help me help you with those.”
“No thanks, I'm fine.”

I dropped them on the counter top and Matteo helped me arrange them in the fridge.
“So, do you stay here or you sleep at your own house.” I was curious as to why he is always here late at night.
“Sometimes, barely but I am mostly here for business or I just want to bother Dante. I actually own my own company.” he pulled out a business card and handed it to me.
Matteo’s firm.
“We deal with goods.”
“Like importing and exporting goods.”
“Mm”
“So, what do you do when you're not running your business?”
“I like to party or chill at the bar or hang out with friends.”
“How about you, what do you do during your free time?”
“I write.”
“As in books.”
“No, I write songs. I wanna become a singer one day. But I don't think I can.”
“Why not”
“Well, I have a lot going on right now and until I can sort all that stuff I cannot be thinking about dreams.”
“Well can you at least sing for me.”
I smiled, “No,sorry I’m shy.”
