Chapter 368

Aria

The expression on his face made me anxious and worried. This was not a friendly visit.

“I didn’t know you had company.” Vince looked through me, eyeing Angelo. I nudged Angelo’s shoulder, forcing him to step forward so I could introduce him.

“Uh, this is-

“I know who this is.” Vince snarled in a tone I had yet to hear from his mouth.

“Angelo Marino,” Angelo stuck out his hand, showing off his good manners. “I’m looking forward to working…and living with you.”

Vince scrunched his nose at the word ‘living’ and placed his hand behind his back, rejecting Angelo’s gesture. “Aria, can we talk.” He ignored his presence. “In private?”

“Sure.” I turned to Angelo. “Do you mind giving us a minute?”

“Not at all!” He spoke, giving Vince one last smile.

As impatient as he looked, Vince tapped his feet on the floor, waiting for Angelo to exit the hall. With his hands through his hair, he let out a frustrated sigh.

“I hadn’t expected to do this again, but you just won’t let me live in peace.”

What?

“W-what have I done this time?” I thought about my wrongdoings. I behaved as he asked me to, didn’t cause any trouble, and hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary.

“Are you familiar with Corco’s Bakery?”

“Yes, I am,” I remembered the shop I had visited on collectors’ day. How could I forget?

“Did you use my name to scare them into paying you?” Vince’s soft tone did not match the angry expression on his face.

I didn’t use his name to scare them into paying. They had already paid before that.

“Not really, I just-

“Did you or did you not?” Vince lost his patience this time, glaring at me as if I was the most disgusting human being on the planet.

This was what Angelo had warned me about, and maybe he was onto something after all.
