The Good Mafia

Chapter Nine

It was a very calm day today but as I said it is the calmness before the storm. That's exactly what is happening with me, the calm day turned into the thunderstorm.

    My heartbeats were as louder as the thunder sound. I think if anyone come close to me will hear those. Mr. Romano was standing a few feets away from me observing me and also scaring me with that deadpan look.

    I can't look him in the eyes because I was guilty this time, I shouldn't have lied to him and now here I am facing the consequences. Why do these things happen to me only, why did I fall and see those papers, why me, why am I so clumsy. I never thought my clumsy self will get me into this much trouble.

   He came a little closer and I had an urge to step back but I was glued to my spot, couldn't able to move an inch.

"I told u Miss Rose that I hope we don't meet again, but I see that you didn't wanted the same right". He said in his dangerous tone.

    I looked up to his face and he had that vicious smirk on it as last time I saw him. He knows that I lied to him I can see that into his eyes.

    He came closer and I could see he is quite taller then me. The height makes him more intimidating. I don't know what he will do now as he knows I lied to him.

"So Miss Rose tell me why you lied to me or I can say who do you work for". And that made me a little confused because I work in his hotel so eventually I work for him then why is he asking me that.

"I work for you sir" I said straight up even though I was a little confused by that question.

"Oh really Miss Rose, I guess you still want to lie to me" he said.

    I don't know how I am lying this time because it's the truth I do work for him only. I didn't know the meaning behind his question.

"You know Miss Rose I never thought a girl with that innocent face can double cross me" he said menacingly.

"I--i don't know what you are talking about sir I never double crossed you" I said stating my truth.

    I don't know what is he talking about,when did I double cross him. I always do my work and also other people's work, I do overtimes too most of the days. Yes, I lied to him because I got scared but that is not double crossing.

"So you didn't lied to me about seeing what was inside that file Miss Rose" he said getting a bit frustrated. And I looked down again because I was guilty about that.

"I-I a--m so--rry about that sir" I said in a very low voice.

"Sorry, you are sorry for what, do you know your sorry will not make up for what happened" he said getting angry.

    I don't know what happened that made him this much angry. I just lied to him about seeing that file's contents and nothing more. I was just standing in silence and trying to think of getting out of this situation.

   But he didn't like my silence, he got angrier, I can see him clenching his fists so I spoke again.
" I am not getting you sir" I asked him not getting his point.

   He chuckled " You think I am a fool Miss Rose". And I just shook my head in no.

"Now tell me, who did you sold that information to, who do you work for"
He said. And that shocked me, he thinks I work for someone else.

"I--i don't work for anyone sir, and I never sold any information to anyone, I do not work for anyone but you sir" I said trying to tell my truth.

    I can see on his face that he didn't believed me at all.
