A Mob Bosses Daughter.(Original.)

Chapter Sixteen: Business Associates

Here I am, once again I'm at another boring meeting. My grandfather took me to a few meetings today to do business. The first gang we stopped by had a little trouble getting us their protection payment... Well that was until I shot one of them after I had warned them twice, luckily after that they were very cooperative. The second one was pretty much just making a large drug deal, and here we are at the third.

We had walked into a restaurant and went back to the private room, we were then met with a man named Richard, and his daughter Allison, who was about age maybe a couple years older. And holy shit, I swear to god any time she opened her mouth it was annoying.

"Can we please get back to business." I groan interrupting the girl. "Oh please, make me... Plus I was talking so I think your pretty little face can wait a few more minutes." She snaps back. "Awe, you think I'm pretty?" I said in an obviously fake tone while I held my hand up to my chest while running my other hand through my hair. "Tch, whatever..." She replied, crossing her arms.

"Awwww. Nonno look, she didn't even try to deny it." I say adding a smirk when I was done talking. Her face turns a bright red as she looks away acting like she's pissed off. I start standing up until Marco grabs my wrist and whisper to me what I'm doing. "Don't worry, I have an idea." I whisper back with a smirk.

I walk over to the girl, who's still looking away from me. The heels of my black louis vuitton combat boots clicking on the dark walnut floors. I get close to her and she peeks through her fingers, looking at my boots and black leggings. I use my finger and glide it up from her jaw to her chin to make her look at me. "If you just wanted to tell me I was pretty you could have just said it, even though you wouldn't have to. I know how attractive I am babe." I whisper in her ear. I look into her emerald eyes, our faces inches from each other, me slowly getting closer to aggravate her.

Just before our lips were touching she let out a high pitched squeal and pushed me away making me burst out in laughter as I walked back to my seat. "Made you shut up didn't I." I say sitting back in my chair while she hides her face in her hands. "Now please continue about that boy you were talking about." I smirked at her as she peeked out through her fingers then went back to hiding.

"Anyway, so I think your daughter and I could be pretty good friends. In which case means we could potentially become partners." I said, crossing my leg over the other. "I-I'm straight, by the way." The girl said. "Ya ok then." I scoff. "Plus if you really wanted a guy I have 7 brothers you could choose from." I say with a smirk while leaning my head against the palm of my hand.

"But I have a feeling I could treat you better." I add, moving my bangs from in front of my eye. Another man walked into the room and I suddenly became completely silent. "Bad Mother Fucking Vibes Atom!!!" Alex yelled. I felt uncomfortable and my grandfather nudged me to ackloladgw the man. I look at Marco with a pleasing look in my eyes not wanting to talk to the man.

"Excuse us for a moment please." Marco stood up and gave me a look that said to follow me. We walked out of the room and I made sure I stayed close to my grandfather. "Atom you need to talk to him." Marco urged after we were halfway down the hallway.

"Please no." I asked with fear in my eyes. "You need to he's important!" He replied. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, please no, no, no, please." I begged, tears forming in my eyes. "He's a business partner Atom!" Marco said in a very serious tone. "I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't." I repeated shaking my head while I was starting to hyperventilate.

Marco groaned. "Fine but we need to get this social anxiety under control." He said, rolling his eyes. "It's perfectly under control. Sometimes I just- can't." I replied walking back. "Whatever, let's go. I'll see what I can do." I say trying to build up my confidence while also building up my walls just a bit higher.

After my meeting from hell we proceeded to go to another meeting. We arrived at a black mansion, yellow lights illuminating from the windows. I let out a dramatic sigh. "Information?" I ask in a monotone while unbuckling my seat belt then leaning back in my seat. "His name is Lucas Santos, his son's name is Leo. They mostly work with dealing, growing, selling, etc. illegal substances. Lucas is 57 and Leo is 15. This is one of my partners and we see each other as equals so don't fuck it up." Marco said, emphasizing every word of his last sentence.

"Ya, ya whatever." I say checking the amount of ammo in the semi automatic. I put the 9mm back into its holster on my waist and fixed my hair. "Ready?" Marco asked me. That was something my grandpa always did, always checked on me before we did something dangerous. It was nice to know he cared. "Sure." I replied, opening my door.

I get out and straighten out my white button up blouse and fix the under bust corset I have on. I grab my jacket from the SUV and drape it over my shoulders then shut the door. After we got inside Marco met with the two tall white men that own the mansion and we all introduced each other to another. "You're a beautiful young lady Atom." Lucas said, sitting down on the black leather couch. "Thanks, I like to think so." I reply in a monotone, sitting next to Marco and across from the two other men.

Lucas laughs while Leo rolls his eyes in amusement. "Leo you've gotten taller since the last time I saw you." Marco says with a big smile looking at the boy. "Ya that's what happens when you're a kid." Leo replies while looking out a window. I stifle back a giggle and smile while looking at the boy. "So Marco what you come here for." Lucas asks in a serious tone while resting his arms on his legs and folding his hands together.

"There's a new gang in town..." Marco starts. "The one with the child trafficking ring?" Lucas asks. I cross my leg over the other as I tense up a bit but not show it. "We need to take them down and fast." Marco says. "Give us a week for planning and we can add some body's." Lucas says not changing from the serious tone.

"Hey Leo." I say ignoring the adults' conversation. "What?" He replies in an annoyed tone. "I don't know, I just thought I should make small talk." I say trying not to get irritated by his tone. Leo looks at me up and down and rolls his eyes. "Small talk is boring. And who names their kid Adam?" He asks.

"This be facts. And my name is spelt A-T-O-M not A-D-A-M." I say resting my head on my hand. "A-T-O-M like the little things that make up everything?" He asks, raising an eyebrow. "Ya." I say starting to play with my hair. "Explains why you're so small." He said with a stupid smirk. "I'm not small, you're just tall." I say furrowing my eyebrows. "But you're so cute and small, I wanna put you in my pocket. I bet you're the shortest out of your friend group." He says in a teasing tone.

"Ima kill this bitch and don't fucking stop me." Alex said getting riled up. I take a deep breath and clench my fist. I'm not sure what it was about this guy but I had a really strong urge to punch him. "I'm seriously only 5'3 that's taller than almost all of my fre-." I start. My friends.... A sudden rush of sadness washes over me. Leah, Alex, Cassie, Kara, Maya, and all the others. Dead, they were all dead... I could have saved them if I would have stayed at the school, but I left them and now they are dead.

"You good?" Leo asks now concerned. "Ya, they're dead anyway." I laugh. "I barely even liked them so I guess it's not a big deal." I laugh. "They're all fucking dead." My brain says. I try to control myself while I smile and laugh. "Oops." He says to himself but not really meaning it. "It's ok, karmas a bitch." I say closing my eyes with a bright smile. "I really hate this bitch." Alex says irritated.

"You should smile more, your face is ugly when you frown even if the smile is fake." He says, his eyes looking towards the window. "So I'm cute when I smile?" I smirk towards him. His face turns red and I swear I can see steam coming from his ears. "I didn't say that dumbass!" Leo said looking away. "Tsundere." I say with a smirk. "What even is that." He asks, still riled up. "Nothing, just something the anime community will understand." I say while biting my lip holding back a laugh.
