Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

Finally, a Partnership and a Wedding



Finally, a Partnership and a Wedding

All eyes were on Hayden’s raised hand including my own. The silence that dominated the room made it

feel like time had stopped. Suddenly, many more hands shot up into the air at the same time and it was

like time had resumed itself again. Although Hayden had told me that something of this effect would

take place, I still found myself a little stunned at the almost comical scene in front of me. This whole

thing was pretty much rigged for sure from the start. It was like the managers didn’t even put any

thought in the partnership and was just blindly following Hayden and his choice.

That being said, not every manager of Torex hand their hands up in the air. It was just like before, not

all managers seemed to be on Hayden’s side or in favor of him taking over. Although that was the case,

I could tell that there were more than enough hands in the air for this proposal to pass.

“Thank you. If there is no one else, then we will proceed forward. May I ask everyone who votes

against his proposal to please raise your hand. Also, may I remind you that abstaining from voting is

not an option. Everyone must vote,” the man announced again.

Fewer hands rose in the air, and it could be quickly concluded that the partnership had passed. I

breathe a long sigh of relief before I began smiling a little to myself. This partnership has finally gone

through, and it is finally going to happen. Of course, I didn’t know the real business details of the deal,

but I was glad enough that it would bring some peace between the two gangs. I also doubt that Hayden

would vote to support it if he thought that it didn’t make sense business-wise regardless of how much

he wanted to read that letter that Ethan gave to me.

“Thank you for your votes and your patience. Based on the results, the partnership between Torex and

Silva in joining hands in the underground auction business will go ahead,” the man announced before

concluding the meeting.

The men seated around the table clapped their hands politely at the announcement while I couldn’t

keep myself from smiling. Hayden only turned and smirked at me. He was probably satisfied that he got

something that he wanted along with a business deal with Silva. Ethan looked quite satisfied as well. It

seemed like everything was coming to a happy ending for everybody.

“Well, that concludes the meeting for today. Off to do whatever you need to do!” the boss commanded

quite loudly to officially end the meeting.

Many mangers started filing out of the room until only the boss, Ethan, Hayden and I remained in the

room. Since Hayden did not move from his seat, I stayed seated next to him like before.

“Thank you for supporting this, Hayden,” Ethan spoke up.

“You can thank Malissa. Actually, I’ll give her your thanks,” Hayden replied passionlessly.

His cold response made Ethan laugh out pretty loudly.

“Congratulations again on your wedding. Are you going to give the ceremony another shot?” Ethan

asked teasingly.

The boss who had been observing their exchange and decided to jump in enthusiastically.

“Actually, we plan to host wedding next Saturday. Are you free? You’re welcomed to join in,” the boss

chimed in loudly.

My mouth dropped opened in my shock at the sudden turn of events. This was the first time that I

heard anything about us having our wedding next weekend. I turned to glare at Hayden, and he just

shrugged at me like he also didn’t have any clue at all.

“I’m happy to attend. Maybe I should be put in charge of security this time around for…additional

safety…” Ethan suggested before glaring at Hayden accusingly.

“Good. I look forward to seeing you,” the boss said before laughing loudly.

Just like that, we were having our wedding ceremony and celebration again…for the third time.

Seeing Ethan reminded me that I haven’t gotten around to opening the letter that he gave to me as my

wedding present. The deal that I made with Hayden also brought that letter back to the top of my mind

again. Honestly, I didn’t expect that letter to contain much more than simple well wishes and blessings

from Ethan and maybe something that would suit his sardonic humor.

After the meeting ended, Hayden took me back to the mansion. The news of our wedding did not excite

me at all like it did before. We were already married and so it felt very funny to be having a ceremony

and celebration. However, I knew better than to complain about it. Just like Hayden, I was starting to

learn to let things slide just so that we didn’t need to deal with the boss.

“For the wedding, we can use the same things that we chose before, right? We probably just need to

find a new organizer…or maybe we can cut out the whole decoration thing…” I mumbled thoughtfully

while in the car with Hayden.

“At this point, I can’t wait to get this over and done with. You can decide. The less trouble, the better…” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Hayden growled in annoyance.

I felt the same way. All the excitement was gone now, so the only upside that I could think about was

that I would finally get to wear the wedding dress that Hayden had designed and gotten tailored for me.

After all, it would be such a waste to let such a wonderful dress go unworn.

We arrived at the mansion just in time for dinner. Although I wasn’t hungry, I knew that Hayden would

nag for us to eat on time so I didn’t hesitate to follow him straight to the dining room where we knew

that dinner would be waiting for us.

“Where is the letter?” Hayden asked the moment that we took our seats at the dining table.

Wow, clearly the price of his vote had not escaped his mind at all. The letter was safely stored in my

closet.
