chapter 12

Leonardo was sitting in the meeting room with a deadly look on his face. He was leaning back in his chair with his thumb on his chin waiting for the meeting to start. He knew that the firm's owner will lie and talk rubbish to save his ass. It's nothing new for him, he just wanted to hear what kind of creative way lie would he use to save his ass. It's fun for him to watch people lying when he knows the truth.

Nick was sitting beside him. His playful look was long gone. He was looking at the firm's owner with a murderous glare, after all, killing is his passion. Leonardo's man standing against the wall Straight with their hand on their chest like statues.

They were all sitting at the big round wooden table and Mr. Blake (the firm's owner) was sitting in front of them terrified. His forehead sweating and he was continuously wiping with his white handkerchief. Thankfully he didn't know that Leonardo is a Mafia king, he only knows him as a ruthless
businessman, otherwise he would have got a heart attack by now.

But it's not only that, he is scared because he has to deal with her too.
If Leonardo is ruthless then she is not any less either. He knows he messed up with two powerful people.

When his assistant told him that Anamika is attending the meeting too. he was terrified. He knew that she is a powerful woman and she won't take things lightly, at least not regarding her business. That's why he decided to blame the market conditions and save himself. He knows what she can do and what she is capable of. She can make him disappear from the corperated world like he never existed. Yes! She is that powerful, he has been doing business with her for years now. He knew that he fucked up.

The door of the meeting room opened and four figures walked in. Blake was the first one to notice them. Anamika walked in like a queen with her head high and fearless expression. She looked like a dark Angle.

She was the first one to notice Leonardo, he was still looking at Mr. Blake with a murderous glare and didn't notice her. Her heart skipped a beat looking at him and her eyes widened. She never thought that she will meet him again like this. Her heart was racing like she is running a marathon, her throat went dry but she quickly hid it composing herself, and decided to avoid him like he is not sitting there. She changed her expression into a cold one and acted like she didn't know him.

As soon as she entered the room,
Mr. Blake stood up and greeted her.

"Hello, Miss. Sahay, it's nice to have you here.."

His voice was dry, he cleared his throat and give her a small smile.

She just nodded at him, her bodyguard Standing against the wall behind her and Mr. Scott sitting beside her.

When Mr.Blake greeted her Leonardo
Looked at the person to whom he was greeting and when he saw that person he leaned forward with a lightning speed and his heart stopped beating for a moment making his world freeze. His eyes narrowed at her and he looked at her carefully. He was making sure it was it's real or just his imagination messing up with him. She nodded at Miller and sat down on the chair in front of him. He was shocked, she is real, the woman he has been searching for the past 6 months like a madman is sitting in front of him, looking like a fucking
queen.

His mind stopped working, he wasn't thinking straight. He forgot what is happening in the room and why he was there. He got so lost looking at her.

Mr. Blake's voice broke his bubble and he came back to reality. His expression quickly changed from a shocking one to a cold one.

" So ladies and gentlemen let's start the meeting "

Blake said in his professional voice.

He started explaining himself, how he lost their money due to the market conditions and competitor strategies, and bla bla.
