Chapter 21: Nice Joke
“Hey, you okay?” I turned around to see it was Lucas who asked that question.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” I huffed, turning back to look out at the garden while I leaned against the railing of the balcony, sipping on my coffee.
I was feeling sleepy after all the work I did till late last night only to wake up super early today to get more of my work completed.
My goodness!
I’m becoming a freaking workaholic!
Ha! As if…
“I’ve noticed that you haven’t really been talking to me.” He remarked as he came to stand next to me.
Already?

“It’s nice.” Archer commented as he walked into the kitchen. “Well, make yourself familiar with the place then. You’ve been living here for a little over a month according to my story.” I gave him a look. “I was familiar with the place before we got here.” He replied. I raised an eyebrow in question. “I had Lucas pull up the layout of your house for me to study.” He shrugged. “I was supposed to know the place well since I have apparently been here for a month.” He smirked at me. “You knew the place well by just looking at the layouts?” I asked. “I used to go on field missions almost everyday. I am used to getting to know places by studying their layou

“I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in a while now.” Aunt Celine commented as she got up. “But it’s getting late now so we should all head to bed.” She sighed. “You must be tired from all the travelling too. I have already prepared your usual bedroom.” I said as I got up with her. “Thank you, Mia.” She hugged me. “No problem, Aunt Celine.” I smiled at her as we pulled away. “Now, I know that after the whole day that you didn’t get to be alone, the two of you might be excited.” She started, giving us a look. “But please remember that I’ll be just down the hall.” She told us. Oh god no! There is literally zero excitement here!
The Mafia & The Queen Bee Chapter 24: Definitely Not Friends
“I hate you!” I grunted as I continued doing push-ups as sweat trickled down the side of my face. “You do know that I’m still your boss, right?” Archer chuckled as he too continued doing push-ups next to me. I scoffed as I continued my workout, trying to ignore the hot shirtless yet annoying guy next to me. This is so not fair! Why does God always pair ego and hotness together? This is certainly not fair! “This was supposed to be my fun-filled vacation!” I huffed as I rolled over on the floor on my back, breathing heavily due to the heavy exercises I’ve been doing for the past hour. This is ridiculous!&n

“We are just going to show our faces, let people know that I’m still alive and then go back home.” I told myself as I walked to my old friend, Tommy’s house with Archer by my side.I can already feel that something bad is about to happen here… But I had to do this.I can do this!The party in the house was in full swing with loud music disturbing the neighbours and drunk people all around. I plastered my usual bitchy smirk on my face as I saw a few familiar faces. “Mia! You came!” Nina exclaimed as she ran to me with Octavia. Here we go…“I had to!” I replied as they both hugged me and blew kisses and I did the same. This is the cliché of being fake!They then turned to Archer. “You brought the handsome devil with you!” Octavia said to me while she eyed Archer with a sly smile on her face as she bit her lip seductively. Sis, I think he’s been trained to ignore better women. He’s not going to be swayed by your pathetic attempt!“He’s going to take all the attention away from Tom
The Mafia & The Queen Bee Chapter 26: I Do Care
I frowned when I saw the lights of the house were still on as Archer parked the car in the front.What’s going on?My aunt should be fast asleep by now. I even asked her to not keep the lights on as it would be a tedious job for me to switch them off when I’m tired.“Why are the lights on?” Archer asked. “Did you leave them on?” He turned to me.“No.” I answered, not looking at him. “But something’s not right.” I whispered as I unbuckled my seat belt.The whole ride back home, neither of us spoke a single word. It was too awkward and the tension in the car was almost tangible.It was weird!

“Take care! And call me when you get there!” I said as I pulled away from the hug.“I will. You take care of yourself!” Aunt Celine told me. She turned to Archer. “Please take care of her for me.” She requested.“I will, ma’am. I promise.” He replied as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.Dear lord!Why does this feel more than it really is?And why the heck did my stomach just do a somersault?!“I am trusting you with my eldest child, son!” Aunt Celine told him jokingly.Oh god!

“You know, you should take a little break now.” Tony’s voice broke me out of my furious-typing-while-glaring-at-the-screen session.“I’m good. I don’t need a break.” I replied, sending him a curt smile for good measures.“Mia, seriously, you’ve been working for too long now!” He sighed.I sighed as I stood up from my seat and turned to him.He was my friend and he was actually concerned so I knew that I shouldn’t be rude to him.“I really appreciate the concern, T, but I’m fine.” I genuinely smiled at him.“Then go and eat your breakfast and lunch now!” He
