Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 323

James POV

“Please send the files in, the whole files– yes, exactly. And the Blackwood’s full file from three months

back… yes. Thank you.” I placed the telephone back on the table and breathed out a deep sigh.

I was the one in charge now. I was in charge of not just the running of this company, but as well as all

the other branches located here in Italy. Basically, I was sitting in for my best friend since forever, Luca,

until whenever he returns.

Doing stuff like this used to be once overwhelming, but not any longer. I was now used to it, because if

the amount of times I’ve done it.

About the mafia, since I sss his right hand man, whenever he was absent, I’m expected to step in

automatically, and that’s exactly what I’m doing now.

Which leaves not just Luca’s share of the work here in the office to be on my neck, but along with the

mafia lifestyle, coupled with my own usual share of the work, but with everything altogether.

I wasn’t complaining though, because it wasn’t like Luca was out playing. He also have his pen share

ot work cut out for him in New York, which is why it’s putting me at ease that his wife is with him over

there. That way, he’d never really be bored and would be all over her, the perfect way to take his

attention off work.

Luca might never ever admit it but he was stupidly in love with his wife. He was so in love with her that

anyone smart person with two working eyes was going to be able to tell after spending a few hours in

the same room as them,

If I wanted to be mean to him, I’d tease him about hoe he had been about to return her back to her

parents after finding out her age, but I had convinced him from doing just that. And look at him now, he

was literally drowning in love for her.

It was cute, seeing my best friend who never dated and fucked girls like they were toys, being all

sappily in love with his wife. I also liked Sofia for him, they complimented each other so damn well. She

was very calm whereas he wasn’t, and in as much as she might look like a pushover because of her

petite built and babyish face, she have a hell of a backbone and wouldn’t hesitate to speak her mind, This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

not minding if she was hurting anyone’s feelings, which was why I had instantly liked her after that one

dinner I had with her and Tristan and his wife, Kayla.

The files which I had requested for got delivered to me by my secretary and I pointed out what I want to

be done with it to her, she nodded her head in understanding and was out of my office after a few more

moments.

I had a meeting to attend in a few moments. It was a meeting which I had been working towards getting

in months, and when I finally got it arranged, Luca was going to be unable to show up, because of his

trip to Italy. The people who I had arranged the meeting with were not happy at the new change of

plans and were about to cancel the meeting when I suggested if talking with Luca about the idea we

were about to pitch to them first was going to make them understand that we were indeed serious, and

so while Luca was on the plane, he had had the meeting with them and when he got safely to new

York, he called me to give me a run down of the whole call.

I was really prepared for this meeting, it was something that was going to bring in more deals and more

money as well as more popularity and exposure for the company, and I was ready to ace this meeting

on Luca’s behalf and get that deal sealed.

I rounded up my work and signed the few things thzt were the most important here on my desk, and

then I pushed out from my seat and grabbed my suit. The meeting was going to be starting in an hour

time, and hosted at a location that was thirty minutes away, which left me with enough time to grab a

coffee from the restaurant a few blocks away.

I made my way out of my office and relayed a few things to my two secretaries, and then I stopped at

Luca’s secretaries’ office to ensure they were doing their jobs and to take one ot them with me to the

meeting, because all of Luca’s secretaries had more experiences with high as hell meetings compared

to mine, and then I made my way into the elevator.

My suit jacket was still cradled on my arm as I made my way into the restaurant. The time was really

running fast and I wanted to grab my coffee as fast as possible so I’d be on my way already, and that

was when the unexpected happened.

Out of nowhere, someone ran into me with so much force and spilled hot scalding coffee on me– that

spilled on my suit jacket, all over my white inner shirt and singlet to burn my bare skin, and I saw red in

the next instant.

My eyes landed on the one who had decided to be the unfortunate one in my story by spilling cover

over me and ruining what I was supposed to wear to a very important meeting.

It was a woman. No, a girl, whose hair was in a bun and I watched as her mouth fell open in shock as

she regarded the mess she had made of my outfit. The more I regarded her, the more my anger

blossomed, all I wanted was to get a freaking cup of coffee and I’d instantly be on my way to my

meeting, and now this girl – sent from hell to ruin my day, had just achieved that.
