At the sound of Mr. Leone's voice, Josey flinched and got off a helpless and bleeding Fred. She stood still in front of him with a hung head.He took slow and dangerous strides towards her and yanked her arm painfully,"Josephine, I don't like repeating myself." He said increasing his grip on her arm with each word. "He was using rotten words with me Sir.""Does that warrant you fighting in my office." Leone said as he finally left her arm leaving his handprints there .At this point, Fred was slowly sitting up and gradually understanding what was happening around him."Sir she's a bully. That's how she behaves whenever you're not around. Please just give her the boot. "" Shut up Fred! You don't get to tell me what to do in my company. You should be ashamed of yourself for letting a woman beat you up until you look like you wore rags to work." Leone said and noticed Josey giggle from the corner of his eye." You're not free either young lady. You're tainting my company by fighting
*JOSEY'S POV*I've never felt so small, so timid and even so suffocated sitting here with this huge hot figure in front of me.He adjusted himself on his chair, leaned forward with his hands on his table and stared at me for so long I felt I'd pass out."What's on your mind, little one?" He began.I can't explain why but I found it quite difficult to breathe."Josey! Hey!" He tried to draw my attention by waving his hands over my face like I was lost in a trance.Stop it! Who'd not see such a hot guy as you?"Yeah yeah I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I guess I just blanked out." I managed to explain." Yeah I figured. So back to what I was saying. You know I don't normally do this, like going around to ask about the welfare of my staff. I mean, it's quite pathetic. I'm asking mainly because you've been a diligent staff with clear records and productive returns for this company and I wouldn't want to watch all that go to waste because of whatever you're dealing with. So tell me i
*AUTHOR'S POV*Gabby slumped on the chair she just stood up from."Doctor!" Josey yelled to the already alert doctor."Nurse! She's gonna be fine." The doctor assured.In less than thirty seconds, a nurse was running with a stretcher and along with the doctor, they placed her on the stretcher and rolled her into one of the wards along the hallways."Will she be fine, Doctor?" Josey asked tugging at the Doctor's coat."You'll need to let us examine her first. Please wait outside. " The doctor urged as he closed the doors behind him.Minutes felt like hours. Everything was not okay. Gabby was on a hospital bed, helpless and left to the hands of the doctors. Her Dad, Daniel, was in the same shoes. Who knows what had happened to him?The opening of the doors of the ward alerted Josey as she literally ran towards him."Doctor, is she gonna be fine?""Young Lady, you need to calm down. She's fine. She was just in shock. I'll prescribe some drugs for you to buy at the Pharmacy just outside t
•At Rossi's Lair•"Did he pick up?" Rossi asked one of his goons."No Sir. He didn't. We've been calling for about two hours now." Jack replied.Jack was Rossi's personal goon. He knew all about Rossi's activities and what Rossi was doing at anytime, any day."Is he tying to avoid me? I hope he's aware that no one can escape Rossi. Even a newborn baby dreads me. "" Martini! Martini! " Rossi yelled." Yes Capone." " Go find out what that Presley guy is doing. Spy on him. He can't try to play a fast one on me. I'll deal with him. Been a while since I spilled old blood. Go now!" Rossi's commanded lighting a blunt." Jack, I need to cool off". " Yes Capone. What do you want me to do for you? "" You and your men should go out and get me three virgin girls. I need tighter holes. Hurry up."" Yes Capone. Stone, Mate, Marco, let's go! " Jack yelled as he and the men walked out of the lair.Rossi had just dropped the lit cigarette into his ashtray when Jack came in, dragging two girls along

"What do you mean Who am I? I'm your boss, Miss Carter." Leone replied.Josey had just blurted out a question that had been bothering her thoughts for a while now and he decided to answer her after several minutes of silence."No. I don't know why I believe you're much more than that. I mean, did you see the way that stupid clown of a doctor was cowering in fear when he saw you. It's like he saw a ghost! Wait! Don't tell me you're dead? " Josey said turning to Leone as he raised a brow to her petite figure."I'm not dead, Miss Carter. Let's go get the drugs. "" Well, you can just wait for me. I want to check up on Gabby. The doctor did say it wasn't that serious. " Josey replied walking away from Leone and towards the ward Gabby had been admitted into. "Okay! Guess I'll see you later?" Leone said wondering if Josey could even hear him anymore.Josey first peeked into Gabby's ward through the small glass in the wooden door. Then, she pushed the door open and walked into the ward and
"Why the hell are you pacing back and forth like you're in some marching contest? " Josey turned her head sharply to the direction of the voice she just heard at the end of the hallway." What are you doing here? I mean, where were you?""I'm the boss. You don't get to ask me that question. Did the Doctor say anything else. Why were you so tense? ""No the Doctor didn't say anything. I was only looking for you. I got confused cause you took the prescriptions and I didn't know if you had run away. " Josey explained.Leone stared at her for a while as if hurt that she couldn't trust him. He slowly thrust his hands into the pockets of his trousers and started walking down the hallway to where Josey stood." I could have run away but I'm not a coward and definitely not at the expense of someone's life. Where's your friend? Is she okay? "" Yeah. She's good. She's regained consciousness but still looks a little drained. I was talking to her few minutes ago. "" I know that. I was waiting
*GABBY'S POV*It's been a week since my Dad went into coma.Yeah sure, I was out of the hospital but we were still worried about him.Worried about him and the contract he signed to sell me out. We've purposely missed Rossi's calls a good number of times because we didn't know what to tell him.Sometime this week, he's gonna come to our house to ask questions and we were waiting.Well, I was the only one waiting. Once again, my mum was out."Gabbyyyyyyy!" I was supposed to be sitting in solitude in my room watching Tiktok on my phone and this loud human had to come running through my front door."Hey Josey, what's up?" I said putting my phone down on my bed."Even your neighbors can head the excitement in my voice. Like didn't you hear the way I yelled my best friend's name? And here's you, acting so cold with me. You're supposed to yell, dumbass!" Josey said as she flopped on my bed, fanning herself with her hands.Was the weather hot or was she doing this act to show me she thinks
