Relationship Status: Mafia

Chapter 11

Matsuo POV

"Just four months?" Serena repeated with doubt. "You don't seem to be close, or that into each other honestly."

That spoiled brat is testing my patience, and for this entire evening, she has shamelessly tried to get my attention. I have no idea what this insufferable girl sees in me. But, unfortunately, all Serena has managed to successfully achieve is to thoroughly disgust me.

Anthony sits by and watches his daughter flirt heavily in front of him with me. It's an embarrassment. I thought having Alice by my side would keep Serena at bay; however, it seems to encourage more of her repulsive behavior.

Alice stared ahead at Serena with her bottom lip pulled between her teeth. I may have neglected to tell her about Serena and her annoying personality, so of course, Alice doesn't know how to handle her. I'll have to go deeper into detail about what I expect of Alice when acting as my mistress in front of others. She has done a fair job, only cracking slightly under pressure.

Then, a hand is placed on my thigh, interrupting my thoughts. As I looked at Alice, she leaned forward to capture my lips. Her brown eyes were hidden as she squeezed them shut, leaning closer to me.

I'm shocked, not by her bold and daring move but by how incredibly soft her supple lips are. It's as if she's never been kissed. My eyes drooped as I leaned closer, tilting my head at a better angle as she relaxed. My hand dropped on her thigh instinctively, and immediately the cop pulled away in a blur. Her cheeks are a deeper red of crimson, with embarrassment on her face. I stared at her with a mixture of hate and confusion.

Alice faced forward, holding her head high despite her evident embarrassment. I can hear Anthony say something but tune it out, gazing at the cop's profile.

I pull my eyes away from her, catching a glimpse of Serena, bound to catch flies with her mouth hanging open. She was talking excessively. However, the twit was now as silent as a corpse, and it was pretty nice.

"Toma," Anthony called out my name, gaining my attention, "I must say she must be quite the kisser to have you so out of focus."

The old man laughed at his own comment. I glanced back at Alice, now redder than she was before. A corner of my mouth turned up as I watched her quickly look away. As amusing as it may be, I will have to lay down rules once we are back at the penthouse. I should have been more forthcoming with what I expected from her back at the penthouse.

We ended our lunch walking out of the restaurant to the courtyard where our vehicles waited. Alice walked closely by my side, avoiding my eyes the stroll outside.

Zhen sat in the SUV with one hand on the steering wheel, staring ahead with the windows rolled up. He turned his head with an immediate reaction of disgust, watching Serena swing her hips, strutting up to her father's sports car.

"That was certainly a delightful lunch Toma." Anthony extended his hand out for me to shake. "I'll contact you for that meeting on my yacht."

He released my hand and then turned to Alice, putting on a sly smile, "And it was a pleasure to meet you, Miss Alice."

Anthony took her hand, placing a long kiss on the back of it, staring up at her the entire time. She looked highly uncomfortable when she removed then clasped it with the other behind her back. A faint smile rested on her red lips, not reaching her eyes.
