Semua Bab My Back-Up Boyfriend is a Mafia Boss: Bab 171 - Bab 180

"This is not funny, Kyle." "This is actually funny, Elliot. Just looking at you with that reaction is really fun as it is. Will you just stop overthinking things? I told you, there is nothing wrong here. And don't make it an issue that I wasn't with you earlier. I told you I was giving the men outside further instructions, and after that, your father cornered me again and wanted me to assure him that you would stay and finish this event. So whatever your plan is about leaving early, you are clearly busted by your father this early." What the hell is wrong with me? Something is clearly amiss here, but what the actual fuck that I can't really pinpoint exactly what it is. He lifted his glass and took a sip of wine as I turned to glance at him once more. I try just not to take Kyle's words or actions negatively. He may be right that I am just being paranoid. But why exactly? This negative notion that I am having is making me go crazy. I don't what to think wrongly about my men, especiall

I had no intention of facing Brit tonight. In fact, I was not prepared for that encounter. As I have mentioned to Markus, we are here this early in our planning stage. And there was nowhere in my plans to meet any of Elliot's men, but I am glad that we did encounter him. I am so pleased with what I have learned so far from him. "Elliot is here at the hotel. You must leave now so that we can avoid a new round of conflict and confrontation between you two. Considering that you are well aware of Elliot's disinterest in having you anywhere near him, then it is a given that you are unable to remain here. And just this once, Ariella, please listen to me. We have an important event going on for A-hotels, and both of his parents are here. So please, leave now. Elliot can't lose his composure right now, especially not at this special event for the hotel." These are Briton's words to me. It initially irritated and annoyed me, but then it eventually gave me a different kind of feeling because

The woman couldn't stop beaming at me, and I don't know how to react. Markus kept nudging me to say something, but I was at a loss for words. I never expected to see her here this early. and I was caught off guard when she reached in for me and she hugged me gently. The action she took further left me speechless. "It is really a nice surprise to see you here, Ariella. How is everyone? How's your mother?" Markus encircled his arms around my waist and squeezed me gently. He then proceeded to greet the woman in front of us. "Good evening, ma'am. Apologies for Ari, who is just as surprised to see you here." Markus turned his gaze at me and his eyes were signaling to me to say something to the woman in front of us. "And who is this young man, may I ask?" She added as she scanned Markus from head to toe. I cleared my throat, leaving the stupor I was in because of Markus' statements. I disregarded her question about Markus and then proceeded to say, "Good evening, Mrs. Allister. It is nic

I simply replied with a shrug of my shoulders. "I think so. They can drop by if they want to. But I think there are more important things they would want to do than waste their time on some party." "Elliot Allister, what has gotten into you?" And once again I was reprimanded, and this time it is not only Ariella who is enjoying the show but even her asshole boyfriend. "Why don't you go right away and meet with dad? I and Kyle will do the same and be there in a while." "Alright." She leaned down and gave Ari a hug before moving away from us and heading to the elevator, saying, "I'll meet you later, Ariella, and bring this young man with you." This is the perfect opportunity that I have been waiting for. With my mother out of the picture, I can now do what I have been hoping to do to this asshole ever since I set my gaze on him. With Ariella and her boyfriend in front of me still being all over each other by holding each other's waist, I remained still. I hold off on venting my ange

At A-Hotel, the event is in full swing. The gathering was attended not just by the close friends of the Allisters but also by business associates, alliances, and even the hotel guests, who were all welcome and had become a part of the celebration. Every single one of the attendees is certainly having such a great time enjoying each other's company. And that is with the exception, of course, of the four people who may have been trying to survive one another's presence ever since they arrived at the event hall. Kyle Conner had to put in a lot of effort to break the tension that had engulfed the pairs who had unexpectedly come to a face-off because of Elliot's hard-headedness again. Elliot had been lucky enough that his underboss had prepared a backup plan for him; otherwise, that confrontation scene would definitely not be good. But as it is, Ariella, instead of trying to get away from the situation, has still managed to do otherwise. And now, here she is, together with her boyfriend, p
