My Italian Capo

chapter 5

Angelina

I woke up with a massive headache and in someone else's bed. I panicked for a few seconds until Samantha walked into the room holding her head. She was obviously hung over as well

I tried remembering what happened yesterday. That's when the memories came flooding back

Mr Rosi...how could I be so stupid?
Why did I drink so much? I probably don't even have a job anymore...but he was the one that tried to kiss me...plus; he obviously has a girlfriend...Summer. I heard him tell her that he loves her.

I'm sure she doesn't even know that he brings girls into his office almost everyday, but then again that's none of my business.

When I get to work tomorrow, I'm going to act as civil as possible and completely forget about what happened at the club.

"Sammie" I called out and she ignored me "I'm going home okay?!" She put her face into her pillow and nodded

"I'll see you tomorrow at work" she finally said "ti amo Ciccia (sweetie)" she said as I was walking out of her room

"Love you too sweetie" I said back. And left her apartment.

○Monday

"Good morning Sir; I have already e-mailed you your agenda for today" Angelina said as soon as I stepped out the elevator on my office floor "I just placed your coffee on your desk about a minute ago. It should still be hot" she said and I gave her a nod "your mother has asked for a lunch meeting today"

"What did you say?" I enquired

"Well I told her that I'd check your schedule. And thankfully you will be free at 12:30 to 14:00pm today" she said with a smile.

"You didn't tell her I'm free did you?" I questioned and she looked down. "Of course you did"

"I don't understand...is there a problem Mr Rosi" she asked looking up

"I've told you countless times that I don't like wasting my time just sitting. If I was free today; don't you think I'd use that time to do something productive instead?" I raised my voice. Why doesn't she ever listen?

"I'll call Mrs Rosi and cancel if you wish"

"Forget it" I said and shut my office door on her face. Incompetent

I had just settled on my chair when she barged in without even knocking. Again

"Mr Rosi...I understand that you are my boss but, but... you can't just talk to me like that just because your mother insisted on seeing her son for lunch. If you have such a problem with having lunch with her...t-than why don't you just t-tell her that your own bloody s-self" she stuttered and I almost couldn't hear a word because of her British accent
"Because it's not easy saying 'no' to that woman." She said looking right into my eyes.
"Now about what happened on Saturday" she started and I stopped her

"What about it?" I questioned

"Well I understand that we were both drunk and I jus-..." I interrupted her

"Ms Gallagher, nothing happened on Saturday. Now if something did happen... it means nothing. Why don't we just go on with our lives and forget about it?" I said now looking at the paperwork on my desk

"Of course. Sir" she said softly

"Good. Get back to work...or do you perhaps have anything else to say?" I asked looking up at her

"No! That would be all" she said before leaving
