Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Leo now sits across from Bruce in one of those fancy restaurants downtown.

"You came alone?" Ask Bruce made Leo nod his head.

"Alana wanted to come along, but I thought we'd be uncomfortable if I brought her in," Leo replied, making Bruce nod his head.

"Of course we'll talk about the business we're going to start in a few months, you know, cooperation with the Italian company is a big project and we have to talk about it and make it work as hard as we can." Bruce said, making Leo nod his head, Leo was about to answer Bruce's words, but it was interrupted when the servants started serving him one of the things he and Bruce had ordered.

The "thank you" Leo said to the servant with his kind smile was repaid with a mere nod of the head by the servant

"Of course I leave all these new projects to your uncle. "Said Leo as he pulled up a plate of steaks in front of him, so Bruce began picking up the food he had ordered before and began devouring it while nodding his head.

"Of course you will handle the project so perfectly, we have to develop our wings on the international stage, I'm sure your late father would be very proud if it succeeded. The casino completes it and they will cooperate with Italian companies.

They will build the hotel in Las Vegas, which is famous for all night life and its extravagant people, like parties and according to Bruce that if they set up their business there it would be very profitable for them and that Leo would leave all of that to Bruce, even though his secretary pedro was out of favor and Leo was too busy to take over the matter of cooperation, That's why Leo decided to leave it to Bruce.

Leo must have believed in his uncle because Bruce had devoted himself to the company that his father passed on to until now when the company turned to Leo, Bruce was still helping Leo for his company's caregiver.

"Well uncle, maybe the day after tomorrow will fly to Italy to meet with Mr. Bernardo to discuss our project" Bruce says.

"You just let me know and tell pedro all the reports, and he will make all the arrangements as well as the knowledge of your absence. "Leo says.

"Well then that's all done, we'll make this work really successful and advance our company" Bruce said after which they decided to go back to spending the meal in front of them with an occasional conversation like talking about yora.

"Oh, you forgot, you told yora and his mama to take one of the apartments near the office, "Bruce said, making Leo raise his eyebrows.

"Why? "Leo asked

"Of course it's because they're uncomfortable and you can't let uncle and uncle's daughter and ex-wife stay at your house much longer and yora has also said that he was uncomfortable with your wife always looking at him so sarcastically" Bruce says he made Leo frown.

"Alana? "Leo asked, making Bruce nod his head.

"She was uncomfortable staying there because it seemed like your wife was a bit disturbed by her presence," Bruce said, putting the dish in her mouth.

"Aunt violet and yora don't have to move, it's better if they stay, and they stay in lots of empty rooms where no one's supposed to live, because I don't have any guests at all," Leo said, feeling bad about Bruce's decision after all, and having violet and yora isn't a big deal for Leo.

"I'll talk to alana later if yora gets annoyed by her attitude" Leo said, making Bruce nod his head.

"Well, then we'll talk to yora again, hopefully he'll stay there" Bruce says.

"Well, let's just say it would be easier to stay in my house," Leo said.

"What about your wife and the bakery? "Asked Bruce left Leo speechless for a moment.

"With no significant improvement, it may be difficult to go back to advancing shops where customers have been for so long, so alana seems to want more time with pastries. "Leo said, making Bruce nod his head.

"Well, let's hope he's lucky, as yora did a few years ago, the shop had time to come back together instead of hers. "Bruce said as if his daughter were proud that Leo could only nod his head and not deny what Bruce said was the truth.

They then chose to finish their dinner, having been spending more than an hour with them and also eating some dishes, after all they had nothing to say after Leo's underlings had also come to take him back into the car.

"Drive safe and say hi to your wife" says Bruce who drove Leo to the front of his car.

Leo's "uncle be careful" said after that he told the driver to push the car forward while Bruce looked at Leo's car with a long look until it disappeared around the corner.

While Leo began to reach for his phone on the way over, looking at some of his incoming emails and also checking messages to see that his wife was sending him messages but nothing, it turns out his concern was in the short run before he left, thinking Leo, but when they started to leave the hotel area, suddenly Leo's car was speeding away making the driver seem panicked and it didn't go unnoticed.

"If you could just slow down the car," Leo said, glancing at the rearview.

"Yes, Sir, I tried" the driver blurted in his pitch to make Leo stare back at him.

"Is something wrong?" asked Leo, making the driver seem more and more frantic.

"I think the brakes are out, Sir" the driver said, causing Leo to shut his eyes.

"Did you say! "Leo exclaimed adding to the panic of the driver and almost within a distance of several cars driving in opposite direction, and then Leo seemed more and more frantic as to how the cars were not properly checked.

"How is this Sir? It was hard for me to drive "the driver panicked and occasionally looked over at Leo, who also looked anxious. Leo thought about how to stop the car that was driving without making it and the driver crashed and in a panic like this Leo's brain suddenly froze and couldn't think of anything, even the streets became chaotic when the car that Leo's vehicle was getting out of control Suddenly one of the cars instantly passed in front of them making the car Leo was driving into what was now seen circling over the shoulder.

Leo was instantly surprised that their driver had not suffered so much as a serious injury that only the car looked dejected at the front, but the car that they hit seemed very worried.

"Indra, let you see the driver of the car ls he all right? "Leo said, leaving a driver named indra to nod, but just about to reach for the door of the car suddenly someone ran in the smoke from the car they had hit earlier, he ran with a panicked face toward Leo and the second Leo opened his eyes when he realized who the woman was.

"Alana" Leo blurted out his immediate face with panic and his heart beating loudly at alana's temple as she ran toward him.
