"You know what I've heard? The flight to Singapore is so tiring and exhausting and I'm pretty sure our fashion goddess over here is very tired. Now do one thing for us, will you? Please go upstairs and get your beauty sleep. Frowning isn't good for you. it'll ruin your cute little face. And please send me a mail of how you got those shoes!" Josey said smiling at Eliora.Once flattered, Eliora forgets everything at hand."Yeah sure. Thanks Josephine. You're someone who knows my worth. I'll be in my room in case there's anyone else who realized my worth. I'll definitely text you honey." Eliora announced and sauntered her way upstairs."Good job at lying to her." Gabby said with folded arms."I had no choice. I was trying to ease the tension. So the call I just went to answer was from my boss. He wanted to know why I wasn't at work yet and he sounded quite angry. "" Oh I'm so sorry Josey. I didn't mean to drag you into my family crisis. You should go now so he doesn't get even more angry

*JOSEY'S POV*I've never felt so small, so timid and even so suffocated sitting here with this huge hot figure in front of me.He adjusted himself on his chair, leaned forward with his hands on his table and stared at me for so long I felt I'd pass out."What's on your mind, little one?" He began.I can't explain why but I found it quite difficult to breathe."Josey! Hey!" He tried to draw my attention by waving his hands over my face like I was lost in a trance.Stop it! Who'd not see such a hot guy as you?"Yeah yeah I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I guess I just blanked out." I managed to explain." Yeah I figured. So back to what I was saying. You know I don't normally do this, like going around to ask about the welfare of my staff. I mean, it's quite pathetic. I'm asking mainly because you've been a diligent staff with clear records and productive returns for this company and I wouldn't want to watch all that go to waste because of whatever you're dealing with. So tell me i

•At Rossi's Lair•"Did he pick up?" Rossi asked one of his goons."No Sir. He didn't. We've been calling for about two hours now." Jack replied.Jack was Rossi's personal goon. He knew all about Rossi's activities and what Rossi was doing at anytime, any day."Is he tying to avoid me? I hope he's aware that no one can escape Rossi. Even a newborn baby dreads me. "" Martini! Martini! " Rossi yelled." Yes Capone." " Go find out what that Presley guy is doing. Spy on him. He can't try to play a fast one on me. I'll deal with him. Been a while since I spilled old blood. Go now!" Rossi's commanded lighting a blunt." Jack, I need to cool off". " Yes Capone. What do you want me to do for you? "" You and your men should go out and get me three virgin girls. I need tighter holes. Hurry up."" Yes Capone. Stone, Mate, Marco, let's go! " Jack yelled as he and the men walked out of the lair.Rossi had just dropped the lit cigarette into his ashtray when Jack came in, dragging two girls along

"What do you mean Who am I? I'm your boss, Miss Carter." Leone replied.Josey had just blurted out a question that had been bothering her thoughts for a while now and he decided to answer her after several minutes of silence."No. I don't know why I believe you're much more than that. I mean, did you see the way that stupid clown of a doctor was cowering in fear when he saw you. It's like he saw a ghost! Wait! Don't tell me you're dead? " Josey said turning to Leone as he raised a brow to her petite figure."I'm not dead, Miss Carter. Let's go get the drugs. "" Well, you can just wait for me. I want to check up on Gabby. The doctor did say it wasn't that serious. " Josey replied walking away from Leone and towards the ward Gabby had been admitted into. "Okay! Guess I'll see you later?" Leone said wondering if Josey could even hear him anymore.Josey first peeked into Gabby's ward through the small glass in the wooden door. Then, she pushed the door open and walked into the ward and

*GABBY'S POV*It's been a week since my Dad went into coma.Yeah sure, I was out of the hospital but we were still worried about him.Worried about him and the contract he signed to sell me out. We've purposely missed Rossi's calls a good number of times because we didn't know what to tell him.Sometime this week, he's gonna come to our house to ask questions and we were waiting.Well, I was the only one waiting. Once again, my mum was out."Gabbyyyyyyy!" I was supposed to be sitting in solitude in my room watching Tiktok on my phone and this loud human had to come running through my front door."Hey Josey, what's up?"

You're supposed to yell, dumbass!" Josey said as she flopped on my bed, fanning herself with her hands.Was the weather hot or was she doing this act to show me she thinks
