Chapter 8 She Is Mysterious

• Clancy's POV
• I walked briskly into the building with a briefcase to hear Dale speaking to someone over the phone.
• "I'll be in touch with you in an hour, Miss" He appeared to hang the call and turn to me with an indifferent look.
• "You came earlier than I expected"
• "It's just payment. Wayne does not play games"
• I left earlier to retrieve the remaining payment for the deal I had with The Kelvins days ago.
• They paid half to have a taste of our product first and then the pending half after confirmation of originality.
• "Still you put yourself in a position of stress. You should assign a new Underboss, Sonia is most recommended but she does her original job flawlessly"
• I wasn't ready to have this talk Dale was about to start regarding my way of handling things.
• I prefer to handle them by myself especially now that I have rats who steal my products.
• I sure have men who I can trust with my life but this is the only way I get not to miss my adventurous days as the Underboss of the group.
• Being at the forefront of danger has become exciting.
• To close that topic up, I moved past him to drop the briefcase and collapse on the couch, "So brother.. What did I miss? New deals"
• I adjusted my tie as I turn to Dale's direction.
• He sighed and responded calmly, "There will always be new deals in New York, Brother, but most importantly; the Queen Family are rumoured to be planning to move far from New York, a remote region to start business afresh"
• My brows furrowed in displeasure and my questioning gaze turned to Dale's direction.
• He nodded gently at me and pocketed his hands before saying, "Yeah. They still owe us protection money and are not planning to pay even now. They easily forget their agreement with us"
• "We sure can't let them off the hook. Ungrateful peasants!" I slammed my hand on the table and my eyes darkened dangerously.
• I was thinking of a thousand ways to punish them already when Dale cleared his throat and said, "I have someone investigating already. Sonia is on standby to stain her fist with blood"
• I waved my hand at him, "I will handle it myself. If that's all, I'll retire to prepare for our departure" I stumbled out of the couch and was halfway through the corridor...
• "One more thing, Clancy"
• I turned to see Dale approaching with an indifferent look and asked, "What?"
• "The therapist, what do you think about her?"
• Hearing him, I paused and my eyes remained fixed, in confusion, unsure of what he was driving at.
• "What about the therapist?" I demanded coldly.
• Dale snickered suspiciously and placed his hand on my shoulder with direct whispers, "You've been different since you met with her. She made you laugh, isn't that marvellous? Something we couldn't do since our parent's death"
• I gulped in air and tried to comprehend what Dale was talking about.
• He was right about the therapist causing me to laugh since the death of our parents which has left me broken to pieces but the other part where he claims I've been different.
• Sofia Dante was clearly a joke. She isn't real and never bothered to refute the accusation I threw at her.
• What amused me was the fact that she wasn't a fan of therapy, yet out here playing therapist.
• It was one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard in my life.
• Her line "Therapy sucks, Man" had caught me unaware and a part of me leapt at the notion that someone shared the same view as me.
• I ain't going for any fvcking therapy.
• Sofia Dante; she was mysterious and I couldn't pull anything on her aside from the profile on On-help.
• That's right, I did my research to unravel more about the gorgeous woman who isn't moved by my complicated rage or emotionless gaze.
• But that wasn't enough, she was extremely weird at the top of it.
• I still recall the way she sniffed my cologne to tell me "Dior" and then fearlessly placed her hand on my face to tell me I was real.
• What the fvck? If she had done this in my territory, her fingers would have been chopped off already.
• No woman makes a move on the King. He ain't your toy. You are his toy if he decides to pick you to be.
• This woman is fearless and doesn't care about the consequences of her actions.
• How dare she tag me with the name 'Mr. Pompous'?
• Well, every single fault trails back to Dale who wants me to seat with a psychotherapist and discuss my problems.
• Good thing Sofia was only here for the money and she got it.
• Sofia is gone forever but once in a while thoughts about her behaviour come swerving around my head.
• There were many strangenesses around her which I've resolved to term as 'Unwavering Charisma'
• She does whatever she wants without holding back.
• I pretend I'm not concerned about the fact that we had the same type of eyes but I'm very much concerned or rather upset that this strange woman has those luminous green eyes as mine.
• It was rare yet she has it and is proud to use it as a link to associate herself with me.
• I wanted to know more about her but couldn't find anything.
• Now my brother is talking about her, just when I'm trying to erase her from my mind and ensure a tiny bit of memory relating to her never exists in my head.
• I don't keep women in my head except they have two roles to play in my life.
• Sex or work.
• So far, only Sonia is in the work category. Other women fall under the one-night stand and vanish from my head forever but this particular one, Sofia Dante, was trying to create a new category up there like a little witch and I'm not sure which one is it yet.
• "Our deal has been settled, Dale.." I told him, "I met with the therapist and now we're even"
• He pouted at me and suddenly responded, "The session wasn't completed as we had business to deal with immediately. Don't you think--"
• "Enough, Brother" I snapped angrily at him and rubbed the roof of my nose.
• He was right. I had to leave the psychotherapist that day to attend to an urgent business but it's been days.
• Why was Dale bringing it up again?
• "Oh... Okay... Okay. I wouldn't bother you no more brother but I have a big surprise for you this evening"
• I paused for a moment and stared blankly at Dale who smiled suspiciously.
• Dale's surprise is always something evil and so, I waved him off.
• "Whatever. By the way, arrange a bitch to aid me release stress during the trip this evening"
• I left the room while trying to figure out what Dale was up to.
• He was easily predictable and so, I can tell he was working on something that had to do with Sofia Dante but couldn't place my hands on it.
