The Mafia's Landlady

Someone kept snapping their fingers in front of my face breaking me from my trance, it was Genevieve who was one of my employees who worked in this well-known coffee shop at the downtown area.“Your mind has been floating so much that your hot friend has been staring at you for the past 5 minutes” she handed me a sandwich with a glass of juice from the kitchen, I took a bite and searched the shop where is this hot friend that Genevieve was pertaining to. My eyes landed on Alex who was near the window drinking his cup of coffee.His sharp silver eyes greeted mine and I felt like the way he gazes at me feel so heavy.What is he doing here?He wasn’t wearing anything flashy; he only wore plain black sweater and sweatpants, yet he has many eyes glued on him. I’m not gonna complain and ask him why he is here because with him just sitting there brings more customers in which help in sales even if my shop was already famou

Both Jason and Lee refused to accept the news that Mama was dead, it seems like Jason was more affected that he stood up immediately and leave. I don't know what has gotten into him but Lee apologizes to me on his behalf before running out to run after him.I heard a buzz from my phone and I checked that it was a notification from my so-called Aunt Polly, she told me that she has the right to inherit the 1000-acre land as she was the next eldest next to my Dad and that she must be the one who must inherit it since I'm only the granddaughter.She said I was supposed to be the last person to inherit the land There were even small threats in her messages that she was gonna call a lawyer about inheritance rights but I don't have the heart to tell her that I inherited the land based on Mama's will

"You look happy from a singe rose" I was startled by a male voice that suddenly erupted from behind me, I turned my head to see Alex with hands in his pocketsI look at the rose that was in my hand as I try not to get pricked by the thorns "I didn't know you were into roses" I teased himHe tilted his head "I don't""Then why-" "These are requested by Mama" he eyes the garden full of rosesI guess that makes sense, Mama loves roses that she even has a vase at home where she puts roses in it and replaces it with fresh ones every three days"She told me that you love roses so I ordered rose seeds from a foreign country because she said it would be nice to have her favorite flower planted on the land t

I almost choked on my food "You? A husband material?" Whoever marries Alex would be the most stressed person on earth, I might start to have gray hair if I spend time with this guy since I'm gonna watch over him according to Mama's will He leaned close to my face and gave me a proud smirk "Aren't you being a bit mean to your dear old friend?" he raised my chin with the tip of both of his fingers Using that old trick, it's not gonna work on me For Alex, using his charms to manipulate a girl's decision is his specialty. I have seen all of his tricks and I told myself I would never fall for his simple manipulation, his silver eyes gazed down at me Some people would associate silver ey

Alex brought me home by sunset since he bought us food from an expensive restaurant, I swear the food portions are on a diet and the price is crazy.Alex although was close friends with the owner of that restaurant so we get a lot of big portions"You wouldn't be the owner of that restaurant, do you?" I asked him as a joke while his eyes were glued on the road"If I did say yes would you believe me?" He replied"Are you?" Lily asked him from the back seat while looking out of the window. I gave him a curious look which he ignoredHe chuckled "If you like the food there so much you have the money from my monthly rent in your bank account, you can easily buy off the place and hire the chefs''
