Chapter 35:Mafia’s possession
"It's Chain,right?," Aries asked over the phone.
Jacqueline sniffed back tears and nodded. "Yes, just do what you can to keep Jannie safe."
"You don't have to worry, we will leave once she wakes up. I want you to stay safe, Jacqueline."
"Yes, I will, I have to go now. I will speak.with you later." The phone call ended and Jacqueline laid on her bed. She was in a deep state of despair. What will become of her and her sister when all this is over?
She knew that once you start working for Chain, there is no going back. You keep working for him until he is tired of seeing your face around him. In most cases, he ends up killing those.he felt are no longer useful to him. Jacqueline shuddered, hoping that such fate would not befall her.
Alexander walked into a club where the meeting was held. His friend, Ramon was already waiting for him.A man was seated close to Ramon.
"Alexander, you're here," Ramon said, as he looked at Alexander.
He sat on the plush chair. And gazed at the man seated close to Ramon. "Where is your boss?"
The man shifted on the chair under Alexander's glare which made him uncomfortable. " He couldn't make it to the meeting, he sent me to stand in for him," the man answered.
Alexander clenched his jaw in anger.He would never understand why sensitive information would be entrusted to a mere employee. He found it ridiculous. "I will have to reschedule this meeting. Go tell your boss that I will.like to see him," he barked harshly as he looked at the man lije he was a tiny wasp.
He was seething with rage. This was supposed to be a secret meeting for heaven's sake. Why will Arturo send his employee to represent him? This wasn't some corporate meeting where an employee can represent their boss in a meeting. This was a different scenario where the rules and modalities are different.
He was about to stand up when his friend Ramon stopped him. "Alexander, I know you're angry right now. Let's just proceed with the meeting. His boss trusts him so much to send him here. Let's give him the benefit of doubt."
Alexander looked at Ramon and decided to listen to him. He leaned back on the chair. "If this information gets out, I will know who to hold responsible and that will be you. Let me warn you, if a word from this meeting gets into the wrong hands, you're a dead man. Am I understood," Alexander growled.
The man nodded fearfully and swallowed hard. He had heard stories about Alexander's ruthlessness. Sitting close to him almost made him pee in his pants. When his boss, Arturo informed him of a meeting with Alexander, he thought maybe it was a prank but here he was, seated with him.
They sat in the VIP section of the club which was specifically reserved for them. It gave them the privacy they needed for such a meeting.
Alexander lit a fat cigar and took a drag before puffing it. And it made a spiral movement into the air. A waitress who was clad in a short tight gown, approached their table. Her heels clicked on the floor. She was carrying a tray containing drinks and three glasses.
She kept it on the table, smiled at Alexander who ignored her. In a sultry voice, she said, " Do you mind if I pour you a drink?," she directed the question to Alexander. Who ran his eyes through her body as he continued smoking. Happy that she had gotten his attention, She flipped her hair and batted her eyes at him then she began to rub his shoulder gently.
"Get your dirty hands off me this minute!," Alexander spat. "I don't want to see your ugly face around here. Have I made myself clear?"
The waitress jumped in fright when Alexander barked at her in a harsh tone. She drew back and scurried away like a frightened mouse.
Alexander felt disgusted by her touch. He felt like scrubbing where she had touched him.
His friend Ramon noticed the scowl on his face and chuckled. "You used to enjoy their attention, what changed?"
Alexander glared at his friend and continued smoking. "I don't have time for chit chat," he said. He passed the brown envelope to the man. "Here, take this to your boss. He will understand better when he sees it."
The man collected the envelope and opened his briefcase, then he carefully kept it inside and snapped it close.
Ramon poured himself a glass of whisky and took a sip. Then he looked at his wristwatch. "Extend my greetings to your boss."
Alexander waved his hand dismissively. "Leave."
Without further delay, the man got up and left in a hurry not wanting to spend more time with Alexander.
"That man was stricken in horror. Look how scared he was," Ramon noted.
"I don't fuckin care about how he feels around me," Alexander growled.
"I've noticed how cranky you've become. Did you have a fight with Jacqueline?"
Alexander's narrowed and his nostrils flared in anger. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"I am not blind, you like her. Don't you? "
Alexander wasn't surprised. Ramon knows him very well and he could not hide anything from him. "Yes, I like her but there is something keeping me away."
"Tell me, what is that? Isn't it because she is your personal maid?"
"Maid?," he chuckled. "Far from that. You'll get to find out soon." He poured himself a drink and took a sip.
"It's alright if you don't want to tell me. When was the last time you got laid? Maybe that's what you actually need," Ramon said amusingly.
He almost spewed the drink out but he quickly swallowed it. "That is not funny. As for getting laid, that is the last thing on my mind."
"Indeed," Ramon sneered. "I know you too well my friend."
Alexander felt no need to continue arguing with his friend. He hates to admit it but Ramon is right.
Just then, his phone rang and he answered.
"Speak," Alexander ordered.
"We found something that might interest you."
