Chapter 138: Chapter 138

It's Leo's first day in the office after a few weeks of this trip to Italy.

"Welcome back to the throne of my king" pedro said as he opened the door of Leo's Chambers to irritate him with such mocking, ignoring pedro's greeting, Leo kept walking to his big chair where it would have been terribly cold to sit on it.

But before that Leo turned his eyes ata large table that now had him literally look in pedro's direction.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Pedro asked, in fact, making Leo spin the ball lazy.

"What is with all these files? "Leo asked pedro to shrug his shoulders, after which he casually sat down before Leo, who was now sitting on his big chair.

"What? Of course those are the jobs you've been leaving behind "says pedro leaving Leo staring at him briefly after that opened his work laptop.

"Didn't I tell you to take care of some?"

"And here's the piece that's left over

from everything I've been doing, you think how much you've been doing for weeks at a time" pedro made Leo finally shut his mouth because he didn't want to argue too much with his secretary.

"I would really like to hear a more detailed explanation of what happened in Italy, not on the phone you described earlier," says Leo, his secretary, surely by just listening to his explanation a few days ago through a phone call about what happened in Italy.

"Didn't I tell you the gory details of how Bruce and rose are gone, and violet and iren you just let them escape?"Leo's words made pedro snort.

"That's not what I want to hear, but more detail than that" pedro replied, again causing Leo to stare at him in anger.

"You sound like a reporter who was waiting for news to go to him, you don't have anything better to do than interrogate me" Leo said made pedro incline his body and approach his superiors.

"Put it that way, I'm reporting from my sources, would you still be assigning to find violet and also yora, I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't told me the details and the other guy named Edgar? "Pedro asked, stopping Leo's hand.

"He's someone I trust to continue our project in Italy" Leo replied, making pedro stare at him with his eyebrows raised.

"As soon as you believe it, don't you just know each other?"Pedro's question made Leo nod his head.

"Since I have no choice but to trust him or that you want to move to Italy to continue the project, I don't mind if you want him.

"No better I do my job here than I have to start a new project, you would be right to pick that person to carry on the project, but I was just wondering why you would trust him so quickly." Pedro asked Leo to be silent again, and he could not explain himself so much because Leo only followed his conscience even though he had been hurt before by some of the people he trusted but was convinced that his choice was right this time he trusted Edgar.

"I don't know, I just trust my heart" Leo answers casually made pedro twist his brow even more.

"Just wondering that? "Pedro asked, making Leo nod his head back.

"Has he had any experience with that? "Pedro asked, leaving Leo speechless while trying to think.

"I don't know but I do know he has experience in illegal matters, because he's already very well known in his field, you know he's one of the most respected mobsters in Italy.

"What did you say, did I hear right?" Pedro asked, trying to reascertain Leo's explanation.

"As the saying goes, he's a mob boss I didn't know he had any experience in the field I was offering him or not. But I believe and believe "Leo replied, leaving pedro unable to comment on his friend's decision.

"Don't you stand in the way of illegal fetiveness but why are you now reaching out and attracting them to work with us?"

"I'm sure he won't interfere with his business, I'm sure he can complete our project very well and manage it, although I do provide an unbalanced advantage with the benefits he's made from his black business, but at least I'll give him a better job, Who knows if he wants to stop being a mobster and choose to be a worker I "said Leo, who now stares at him with a very tense face, makes Leo stare even more with an irate look.

"Come on, I'm not kidding," pedro mutters and makes Leo laugh.

"Already, you'd better go back to your room and do all your work or you'd like to help with all these files again. I'd be happy if you'd like to do that."Leo's words made pedro jump out of his seat

"No thank you, my work is much more than yours I have to take care of this and that and all you have to do is sign all these papers and check them for some papers. As for me, I might be stuck here forever for the next few years, ignoring my personal life and putting my best friend's occupation first.

"I will pray very much to god that one day you will be given a companion who will understand very well and love you, that is the reward for all your hard work to me," Leo said.

"I don't need a prayer from you, all I need is a raise twice as much as before." said pedro as he walked away from Leo, making Leo stare at his back with a keen gaze.

"Hey, didn't I just raise your paycheck last month?" Leo exclaimed, making pedro shrug

"Because I have more work to do this month than I did last month, so either you raise my paycheck or you receive my resignation letter, there are only two choices you can choose."

"Are you threatening me? "Leo asked.

"Given that, I can at least be a rich man by working day and night for you, I have to have one advantage even if there's no love in my life and you have to be in charge." says pedro, who left Leo speechless at the sight of his secretary as signing over all the fate god had given him.

Leo was not so sad about pedro having a lot of work but it was his duty to be his personal secretary,Furthermore, Leo had not noticed that pedro was interested in a relationship with someone, even Leo had asked that question seriously but pedro had said that he had not yet found the right woman who understood him and his life.

For this reason Leo was less anxious to ask about his friend's personal life, for pedro would probably share with him if he found a later tether.
