Chapter 63
Luciano stared at the file he had in front of him but he couldn’t see anything reasonable, the project looked juicy when he had initially started it but now, it felt like it would be a total waste of time, or maybe it was the mood he was in that was making it seem that way.
“I will check it some other time,”
He said dumping the file and picking up his phone, he checked on the news page and of course, he was the topic of discussion, his wedding photos with Arielle were everywhere, the headlines were amusing because no one knew who Arielle was, he made sure of that, to the public, she was a mysterious woman who managed to capture the biggest playboy in town, not like he was a playboy, far from it, he couldn’t compare himself to other guys his age who go every day with a different woman or man, he was totally different, like he hasn’t been with anyone for weeks now, no playboy can survive that long without some and here he had been confident that he will get some from his new wife tonight but jokes on in, technically, he was the one that left.
“Sir? Shouldn’t you be home with your new wife or probably be on your honeymoon? You just got married,”
Yeoy asked, walking into his office, Luciano glared at him, well it wasn’t his fault, he wasn’t aware that the woman he married had no interest in those things, honestly, it shouldn’t bother him that much but he found himself being pissed at her, he put her best interest at heart and wanted to take a whole week off work for their honeymoon, he thought she would like it but she had told him off.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“My wife isn’t like other women, she doesn’t want a honeymoon,”
He said. He could tell that Yeoy was trying not to laugh which annoyed him even more.
“What’s funny?”
He asked.
“Nothing, it is just that I have never seen you sulking and you are doing it right now,”
“What? You are crazy, why would I be sulking? You are out of your mind,”
“With all due respect sir, there are some things I never thought I would see you do but that’s all you have been doing recently, not like it is a bad thing, it is just that it happened so fast,”
Yeoy said.
“What are you even on about Yeoy? ”
“Nothing, don’t mind me, should I have someone bring something for you to eat? A change of clothes, It appears you have no plans of going home today since it is already so late,”
Yeoy asked.
“What are you doing at the office anyway? I gave everyone a break, and as you said, it is late,”
“I rather be here than at home, have you met my mom?”
Yoey responded.
“I wouldn’t know, don’t you have a girlfriend or something?”
“I do, and I am going to her once I am done here, I came to drop something off and saw your office open, I didn’t know you were the one inside though,”
“Right, I don’t need any of those things, so you can go,”
Luciano told him.
“Okay sir,” he responded and turned to leave but stopped.
“Sir?”
He called and Luciano looked up from the file he was going through.
“Yeah?”
“Now that you are married, I think I can finally tell you this, I didn’t tell you because you had so much going on at the same time,”
Yoey said which got Luciano’s interest.
“Okay? What is it?”
“Don made a transfer of some of his properties,”
He disclosed.
“What? Transfer? What did he transfer and to who?”
Luciano asked. He hated that Don made decisions without telling him but there was nothing he could do about it, technically, the old man is still the big boss.
“The estate in westbound has been transferred to Lily, his new woman, plus the shopping mall and beauty salon,”
Yoey revealed.
“Why didn’t you tell me all this? When did this happen?”
Luciano asked.
“Three days ago, once again, you had business talks going on and your wedding too, he already did the transfer before I found out, you know how he doesn’t tell anyone anything until it is done, the only reason I found out is because his lawyer made an official statement,”
Yeoy answered. Luciano couldn’t dispute what he said, Don was at it again at least it was just an estate and a few shops, nothing really big.
“Have you got anything on her again?”
“Nothing yet, but she is still being followed and so far, she hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary,”
He responded.
“You tell the men to keep an eye on her and I will speak to Don myself, the sooner I get this done the sooner it will be over,”
“Yes sir,”
“Also, check for people who haven’t paid up in a while, I am sure the list is so long now since I haven’t checked in a while, I want the list of those who haven’t paid up by Monday,”
He said going back to his work.
“Alright, sir,”
“You can go now,”
Luciano instructed dropping the file once again, there was no use pretending to work, he wasn’t doing any of that.
“I can’t believe a woman is making me spend the night in the office,”
Luciano let out after Yoey left, he could easily go back home now but he didn’t want to, he wanted to punish her, he knew she would be waiting for him, yes, she would, and he would make her wait, even though punishing her means punishing himself too, he couldn’t remember the last time he got laid, this is the longest he has stayed without being with a woman and it was all her fault, as for Don, Luciano knew he should be used to his grandfather’s way already, this was his usual way, all of his mistresses have had their share of the Siegel’s wealth, it had been the same with his father too, it kind of ran in the family but not him though, he sure gave money to the women he meet with and even go as far as buying them expensive things but where he draw the line is giving away his physical properties, the only person he might consider for that would be Arielle and the only reason because they are legally married.
“Well, that’s if she behaves,”
He said as he got up from his chair and walked to the window, the whole city was covered in lights, he should probably just suck it up and go back home but he never backed down, if he go back now, she would keep refusing him and he wasn’t about to let that happen.
“I am really, fucking fuck,”
He let out and decided he would really work, he had a lot of pending businesses and decisions to make, and he would return home only after he was done.
