Mafia's collateral (M Book2)

Serve

"Ooofff!!" He let out a ghastly groan and moved back. But it made everyone look at us in suspicion.

"Oh my!" I stood up, "Sir, are you alright?" I pretended to take care of him. He held his stomach in pain.

"You-" He was still a little out of it

"What's wrong with him?" A friend of his asked.

"Does your stomach hurt?" I moved away, "I'll get you something," I turned around.

"Wait," Ace tried to grab me but I managed to get away, "You,"

"I'll be right back," I lied as I made a run for it. I moved through the crowded place full of people when I came across a waiter, Truce, with a tray of coffee on it.

Coffee?

I blocked his path, "Where are you going?" He was tan, and looked awfully sultry in his bunny costume

"The boss wants coffee in his room." He replied.

Azef does?

He's back in this office?

"I'll take it!!" I immediately grabbed the tray from him and turned around to leave,

"Hey!" Truce tried to go after me, "Sera,"

"I said I'll deliver it!!" I didn't look back at him at first but when I felt he wasn't coming after me, I turned to glance at him. I saw an older man slap his butt and wrap his arm around him. Truce was glaring at me while the older man tried to take Truce with him.

OH, poor guy, he was probably taking the coffee to avoid trouble like me.

I turned around

Sorry Truce,

I ran away from there.

I knocked on Azef's office ,

"Come in," He answered and I opened the door to walk in. He was busy, he was texting someone as he stood by the window which had a view of the open dance floor but his eyes were glued to his phone.

Maybe I should tell him why I'm here.

"I brought your coffee." I said,

His ears seemed to perk up when he heard my voice but he still kept typing, "Good, I need that before I go in to meet people." He didn't look at me.

"You look tired." I said, "Maybe take a break. The meeting can wait for a few minutes."

"The meeting here is actually for a company project."

"Company project?"

"Yes," He answered, "So I need to leave as soon as I can."

"You don't spend much time in the nightclub it seems."

"I'm only here for two hours. I have a company to look after too."

"You work at a company?!?!"

He smirked, "I co-own one, so I-" He seemed to be finally done texting and turned his face to look at me, "Work is always-" He froze when he saw me, "...there..."

His eyes scanned me from top to bottom and for a moment it looked like his breathing slowed.

"What are you wearing?" He asked as if he didn't know. But looking at his face made me feel like he was really confused, but along with that confusion, there was something else in his eyes.

"Oh," I looked down at myself, "This is for today's event." I felt an intense gaze on me, "You know, all the staff members are wearing it. It's a bunny costume?" And then even heard a growl

!!!!

I shot my head up and looked around. What did I just hear!?!? What was that??!?

I didn't see anyone there but Azef.

'Ah," He looked away, "Right, that was today..." He even turned around to not look at me.

"Sir?" But his action confused me. One moment it felt like his gaze could bare me and the next moment he didn't even want to look at me.

Why is this man so confusing?

"Put the coffee on the table and you may leave."

"Yes..." I didn't want to leave... But I have to get to work if I want to get paid. And I would like to pay back Azef as soon as I can. But how do I avoid that group of brats that made me drink?

I brought his coffee over to his desk but just as I was putting it down, a wave of heavy dizziness crossed me and I almost spilled the coffee. Thankfully, I had almost put it on the table, so it spilled only a little but. The real problem was me.

I started falling down. I made an attempt to grab onto the desk but failed. My hand slipped away, and exactly at that time, my ankle twisted, making me fall towards Azef

I know life is weird and it's very unexpected but it shouldn't be this weird that I fell towards him and accidentally grabbed his ass.

!!!

Both of us froze. I was barely saved from falling but at what expense?!

"OH shit!!! I'm so sorry!!" I squeezed my hands in a weird gesture without realizing it

Azef turned his face to look at me, "Seems like you had fun pulling that stunt." He scoffed as he stared at my hands

"It wasn't on purpose!!" I backed away, "I promise!!!"

He looked at me in disappointment.

"Pervert."
