Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

At His Pace

I could hear a loud cheer and laughter from the other end of the line before Hayden quickly hung up the

call. I wondered what that was all about. However, as always, it had nothing to do with me. Now, I have

to quickly come up with an idea of what to do for Hayden today so that I can get that over and done

with.

Easier said than done. Nothing was coming to mind. I had just finished my first cup and tea and no

good ideas were popping into my head. I started furrowing my brows together and I looked around the

room for some inspiration. Should I just ask Hayden straight out what he wanted and get it over with?

“Get dressed. You’re coming with me,” Hayden said in a commanding voice as he looked at me for the

first time since I entered the room.

“…Huh? Me?” I exclaimed in shock as I pointed a finger towards myself.

“Who else is here?” He asked sarcastically.

Sure, we were now the only two people in the room but that was not that I meant. Did he seriously want

me to go with him? Where? Why? I was so confused that I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Where are we going?” I asked, confused.

“I said…get dressed…” Hayden repeated, his patients running thin.

“Get dressed…as in…” I said, confused. As far as I was concerned, I was dressed.

Does that mean that we’re going somewhere fancy where I needed to dress up more? These casual

clothes were not enough, I guess. It wasn’t like I had any fancy clothes or anything in my closet, but I

guess I do have something that looks better than shirt and jeans.

Still confused, but with Hayden’s pressuring glare, I headed back to my bedroom to slip on something

dressier. I opened my closet and picked up one of the few dresses that I had. It wasn’t like I had a lot of

options to choose from. Out of the few dresses that I had, I picked out a light pink knee-length dress

with rose print that I felt looked decent.

“Are you done?!”

I heard Hayden shouting loud and clear as he banged on my bedroom door. That guy is clearly out of

his mind. How fast does he expect me to change clothes? Seriously!

“Almost!” I shouted back, making sure that he could hear me.

From my estimation of how crazy Hayden could be, I wouldn’t be surprised if he tore down the door in

his rush. I quicky yanked on the pink dress and zipped up the back as fast as I could as Hayden

continued to bang on the door. Was he planning to keep on banging on the door until I finished?

I opened the door once I was done dressing and immediately came face-to-face with Hayden who was

standing right on the other side of the door. The moment he laid eyes on me; his eyes grew wide with

shock.

He took a couple of steps back wordlessly, as his eyes scanned me from head to toe. Hayden looked

shocked and as he silently placed a hand over his mouth and shook his head from side to side as if not

able to believe what he was seeing. I honestly couldn’t understand what was going on.

“Hayden?” I called his name questioningly.

“…Shit,” Hayden muttered, his eyes still on me.

“Umm…what’s wrong?” I asked, still very confused at his reaction.

Hayden started calling on his phone as he kept his eyes glued on me, looking me up from head to toe

as if he’d seen a ghost of something along those lines.

“Hey…I’m gonna be late…Look there’s not much that I can do. You just hang in there until I arrive, ok?”

Hayden spoke through the phone. I could figure that he was talking to the same person who was

pestering him to go somewhere a while ago.

And with that short and almost one-sided conversation, Hayden hung up. However, before I could open

my mouth to ask him about what was going on, Hayden was already dialing another number on his

mobile phone. I just stood there, still confused, as I watched Hayden waiting for the line to connect.

“It’s me. I’ll be there in 15 minutes, and I need the usual…actually, multiple times the usual…” Hayden

spoke hurriedly through the phone.

I couldn’t hear what the other person said on the other end of the line and so I had no idea what he was

talking about. Was he going to pick something up?

“Umm…what’s going on?” I asked hesitantly, clearly showcasing my confusion.

“Follow me. We’re leaving now,” Hayden said emotionlessly as he turned and started walking towards

the exit of the penthouse.

“Where are we going?” I asked, demanding for answers.

He refused to answer as he headed towards the exit of the suite in long strides. I practically had to run

after him to keep up with him. Why won’t he tell me anything? Where is he going to take me?

“Does this count as me doing something for you today?” I asked desperately. If I had to go along with

this then I might as well use it to complete my part of the deal for the day.

“Yeah, it does. Now come along, quickly,” Hayden said without bothering to turn around to look at me.

It occurred to me that this was the first time that I was leaving the penthouse along with Hayden.

Usually, we left separately and at different times and never ran into each other. I glanced at the tall man

that was standing next to me in the elevator with our bodies close and almost touching and wondered NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

what he was thinking with that frown on his handsome face.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Hayden stepped out in front of me. I followed him through

the lobby and to the front of the building. Wasn’t he going to take the car? Why didn’t he lead me to the

parking building?

I could tell that Hayden was in a rotten mood and he was stressing over something. What that

something was, I had no idea. He clicked his tongue in annoyance as he ran his fingers through his

light blond hair while we just stood there next to each other. I was beginning to wonder what he was

waiting for.
