Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

His friend.

 Lorenzo's car stopped at a hotel, a five star rated hotel, he dropped his keys, and took the elevator, on his way he bumped into a female friend, the rest can be imagined, he took another elevator strictly for V.V.I.P's only and walked into an office. 

 A man was seated going through important documents, flipping through pages. He had blonde hair, a straight nose just like Lorenzo he also had grey eyes, very tall, handsome and dressed in a well-fitted suit, he looked too responsible to be involved with the Mafia.

"Lorenzo, the man called looking up. Lorenzo sat down.

"You smell of you know what, who did you do it with this time?

"Someone of no importance right now, what are you up to?

"You can see it clearly.

"I see, Lorenzo replied, the man looked at Lorenzo closely, observing.

"Something happened with your mum again? A fax machine at the far end made a beeping sound, the man stood up and walks towards the fax machine taking a printed report.

"The usual.

"Okay, okay, what about Lorena, haven't heard from her in a while, how is she doing?

"Bitchy and annoying as usual.

The man laughed.

"You two seem too close to fall off.

"Well things happens, will you be free later? I really need to unwind.

"You just came back from Portugal, that seemed like a vacation.

"I wished it was, how is Raya though, I haven't seen her.

"Things didn't go as planned.

"I see.

"What about you? don't you think of settling down? Maybe committing? You have played around enough you need a woman in your life, a consistent one not a hit and run.

"Mafia's don't do committing.

"To be honest you don't really act as a Mafia, you chicken out sometimes.

"That's why I get on my mum's bad side, Lorena is more tough as she put it.

"Hmm, I knew something happened with your mum, well she should know, not all are cut off for this Mafia job.

"So will you be free?

"Too bad, I have to pass, I have alot to do right now.

"Okay.

"We will catch up later, just don't fuck with any babe, the man said humourously.

"I'll try, muttered Lorenzo.

Rosa and Leslie were dressing up, they had cleaning up duties at a park, their duties were cleaning up wherever the family wanted them and that includes disposing and cleaning whatever was left by the Mafia gang.

 Leslie came back earlier than Rosa, since Rosa had to lead some things she ran into Lorenzo, she was busy going about her chores when Lorenzo threw the car keys at her.

"Take and drop my bags in my room, he said walking in.

-His room? Wait what is happening?

 Leslie still stood there, looking at the car keys then the boot of the car, Lorenzo kept walking then turned back expecting to see the maid at his back but saw no one. 

 He came back and saw Leslie still standing there.

"What the hell are you still doing?

"Um-

"-Just shut up and follow me, snapped Lorenzo.

 Reluctantly Leslie opened the boot of the car and took out the bags; who would have believed the once dreadful Shadow had been brought down to this.

 Lorenzo walked too fast and the bags weren't helping matters, it drew her back, Lorenzo turned and saw her at the far end, struggling.

"When did this family start hiring weaklings? His words felt like venom.

-umm excuse me, I'm Shadow in disguise! Her mind screamed in protest, she wished she had her gun with her, back to her normal self, she would have shown him what she is made of.

 They got to an elevator and walked in, Leslie looking at him, indeed he was rude as fuck. He didn't bother staring her a glance, his eyes on his phone. The door of the elevator opened and they walked towards a door.

"You can drop it, he said in a dismissing tone. Leslie rolled her eyes, Lorenzo must have noticed, he looked at her stone-faced.

"What did you just do? He asked looking at her directly in the eyes for the first time.

"What? Her tone a little too high, making it sound rude.

"Do you know who I am?

"Madame Becky's child and so what? You can't use it to intimidate me, I'm an important person myself but due to circumstances I've been brought down to this level, don't you dare think low of me-

"-Wow, he managed to say, looking too composed despite Leslie's outburst, but Leslie wasn't done yet.
