Chapter 701
Louis pulled out the cash, counted it carefully, and looked pretty pleased with himself. He had York's back because York always slipped him some cash. But the stack Haley handed over was worth a few months' pay.
Haley watched Louis's face change; she knew he was greedy. She nudged Thomas. He pulled out his wallet and fished out another thick wad of bills, twice as much as before.
Haley grinned, "I heard you're Leonardo's bodyguard. Think you could introduce us?"
"Sure, no problem."
Louis snatched the money from Thomas, licked his finger, and started counting.
Thomas smirked, "So, can we go in now?"
Louis stuffed the cash into his inner pocket. "Sure, go on in. I'll check if the boss has time to see you." He headed towards the banquet hall, hands behind his back.
Just looking at Louis, Haley could tell what kind of guy he was.
Haley dropped her smile and said calmly, "Let's go in. If we pay enough, we'll meet Leonardo eventually." Now, it was just a waiting game.
Louis made his way to the VIP lounge at the back of the hall. The boss was already there, talking business with some high-level folks from a neighboring country. Bored, Louis went to guard the entrance, eyeing everyone who might be worth shaking down. He'd already made two big scores.
Louis peeked into the VIP room and saw the meeting was wrapping up. Leonardo was straightening his clothes, ready to leave. Louis quickly stood up straight and walked over, nodding and bowing, "Boss, you done with your meeting?"
Leonardo glanced at him. "What's up?"
Louis leaned in. "Boss, there's a knockout at the party. She's got the looks and the body. Lots of guys want her, but she came to me saying she wants to be your mistress. Wanna meet her?"
Haley had spent a lot just to meet the boss, clearly aiming to be his mistress. Louis had seen plenty of women like her in the past month. His job was to pass the message; whether Leonardo agreed or not wasn't his problem.
Leonardo's eyes narrowed. "Tell her to get lost."
He was swamped, juggling different forces, setting up Black Gang's new ventures, and keeping an eye out for threats. He didn't have time for a wannabe mistress.
Leonardo strode towards the banquet hall. Louis let out a sigh of relief. Leonardo's stare had been terrifying. Louis thought, ‘How could anyone be that scary? I might as well not risk my neck for a bit of cash anymore.’
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he was about to leave when a soft voice stopped him. "Louis, wait a second."
Isabel walked over in high heels. Louis's heart skipped a beat. He thought, ‘Quillan's daughter, the she-devil no one dared mess with.’ He lowered his head even more. "Miss Spencer, what can I do for you?"
