Compromise
"I don't care how complicated this gets, I still want you"
Mariana's POV
"So if I do buy your guns, you plan to still sell to Irene?" He asked
"Would that be a problem?" I askedMariana's Outfit
"Irene doesn't concern me. She's not a threat since Ray died" he said, making me stiffen slightly
"I'm surprised she deals with you. After you took down the Cortez family" he said
"It's complicated" Alfie said
"Yes, he was your father" he said
"Yes he was. But I did not kill my brothers" I defended"But you did kill Ray" he pointed out
"No" I lied, he smiled
"I can see why you married this one Alfie. Very smart, very likeable" he said
Alfie scoffed
"She's hardly likeable" he said"Thanks" I said
He shrugged looking at me
"You're not dove. The shit you've done" he said
Making me hold back a smile
He was teasing me. Joking with me.Charles cleared his throat, drawing both of our attention back to him
"I am going to see Irene, tomorrow, I'm not sure if we'll continue to deal with each other" I said honestly"Why?"
"Partnership conflict" I offeredShe wasn't exactly coming through on her side of things
She also wasn't controlling Sabini. I think she thought of him as beneath her concern
But he was my concern. A big fucking concern
Because I wanted the prick dead."I'll be straight with you Mariana, it would be better if we dealt without her in the picture" he said
"Well... that would depend on how much you pay me for them" I said, sitting back
He laughed
"Where did you find her Alf? Eh?" He asked
"She found me actually" Alfie said"Yeah... yeah I heard stories of that man you ran around with. Tell me, is Thomas Shelby as bold as you are?" He smiled
"He's worse" I said honestly
I know Alfie would definitely agree
"Tell me your price. And I can think about it over dinner" he said
