Chapter Sixty-Six.

ROTIMI POV

I pull up at the club and I see Zara waiting in the parking lot in her car. She sees me, then gets out and walks over to me.

"Hey.." I say, kissing her.

"Thanks for meeting me. I hope I didn't interrupt anything you had going on." She says.

"Nah. I had just finished three interviews before you called. I'm free for the rest of the day." I explain.

We both walk into the club and see Marco sitting down looking at paperwork. He looks up and smiles at us.

"Rotimi! Zara! How have you two been?" He asks.

"Hi Marco." Zara hugs him.

"We've been good. What about you? How's the club?" I ask.

"Everything is great actually. I'm thinking about adding a hookah lounge upstairs."

"That's a good idea.. the nearest hookah lounge is about 30 minutes from here so I'm sure people around here would love it." Zara says.

"Exactly what I was thinking..." Marco smiles.

He glances off into the distance as if he's envisioning how much more money he's going to make with the new lounge.

"...so what brings you too in? Miss me?" Marco laughs.

We all laugh together.

"We're looking for Natalie. Is she working today?" I ask.

"That girl works everyday... even on her days off. One of my best employees... actually, there she is right there." Marco points behind us.

Zara and I walk over to Natalie. She's carrying boxes so we both help her put them down on the nearest table.

"Hey!" She sounds excited to see us.

"Hey... can we talk to you for a minute?" I ask.

"Yeah sure." She says.

We follow her to a booth and sit down.

"So, what's up?" She asks.

"Not to sound rude or anything but what are you doing here?" Zara asks.

"I ..work here.. what do you mean?" She giggles.

"No. Not here at the club but here in the states. Last time we saw you, you were in the Dominican Republic with Santiago." Zara explains.

"Well, I had to come back to work and my granddad said that Alonso and Giovanni needed him for something... some meeting."

Zara and I look at each other.

"By the looks on your faces I'm assuming this meeting is about Harrison and Mac.. and the cocaine." Natalie says.

"Yeah. But why didn't Santiago tell you that?" I ask.

"That's on me. I know I'm benefiting from the fact they my granddad is a big time drug lord but I always tell him that I don't want to know anything unless it's absolutely necessary. Believe it or not... I don't want to make a living in that business if I don't have to." Natalie shrugs.
