Chapter 10 More Cruel

I felt my face heat up and became very flustered, so much so I dropped the knife out of my hand.

Luckily they didn't see what I was holding it for, so I quickly bent down and picked it up placing it back in the knife holder.

Assuming they were Dante's friends or something I wasn't rude to the men.

"S-sorry. Hi, n-nice to meet you I'm Leila." I stuttered out, standing behind the counter still trying to conceal the outfit I had on.

"Pleasure to meet you Leila." the third man who hadn't greeted me yet spoke up. He was definitely American sounding. He seemed a lot more friendly and looked younger than the other two men. He began to speak again as he came towards me followed slowly by the other two men "I'm Miles and these two morons are Fabio," he pointed to the dark haired man and "Lorenzo." Miles finished nodding his head towards the blond man.

I bowed my head with a small smile looking at each of the men stood in front of me.

Miles was the shorter of the three men, but still just as intimidating when he didn't smile especially, although when he smiled or opened his mouth to speak the intimidation factor was gone. He had big, round hazel eyes and smile lines that almost appeared to look like dimples. His height didn't distract from his fairly strong build, although it didn't quite compare to Dante's. None of the men compared to him.

Wait, why was I even comparing them to him? I thought.

Fabio stood next to Miles with a smirk protruding from his lips. He was the second tallest of the three, and was very good looking. Model good looking. He had dark hair, like Miles, in a quiff hairstyle, his jawline was extremely sharp and he had high cheekbones. Not to mention his eyes were deep brown and amazing to look at. Plus, his figure wasn't too bad on the eyes either. In fact none of him was, and he knew it. Just like Dante...wait no - God damn it there I go again.

Finally was Lorenzo, he was the tallest and clearly had the biggest build. He had bright blue eyes that could distract you from his obviously intimidating looks, but the minute you looked away you'd probably run. His hair was blond and quite long, and he had messy stubble on his face. Despite this he was again very good looking just like the other two men.

All in all they were all intimidating, good looking and seemingly strong.

"You know we can introduce ourselves to the lovely lady, right Miles?" Fabio spoke up making his way around the kitchen counter.

Once he did I felt my face flush red once again realizing he'd be able to see my revealing outfit.

When he'd gotten to where I was stood he looked me up and down with a smirk on his face and a small lick of his bottom lip. Although when he did this I didn't feel grossed out...surprisingly. I did feel uncomfortable though.

Fabio came closer to me and took my hand, lifting it up "It's lovely to meet you Miss Leila, I hope you enjoy working for my good friend Dante..." he spoke sounding quite amused before placing a small kiss on my hand.

I shivered at his touch as I wasn't expecting it and bit my bottom lip nervously. Fabio looked down at me for a moment longer, with not much expression on his face as he seemed to take in my facial features making me feel suddenly very insecure.

"Now, now loverboy let the girl go. She doesn't need your nasty áss germs all over her pretty little hands, now do you pretty one?" the blond man, Lorenzo, spoke.

Fabio's jaw clenched and he let go of my hand before giving me a small smile then turning to face the other two men.

"Shut up Enzo you stronzo." Fabio spat, but I could tell he was joking around.

I stood there awkwardly for a moment as the three men had a conversation I was unaware of and began to fake tidy the surfaces. They were already clean, but I had nothing else to do.

Suddenly Miles spoke up "So when did Dante hire you then Leila?"

"Oh um..." I began, but was soon interrupted by a familiar voice.

"None of your business is it my friend? Now let us eat. Leila, serve now." Dante's voice was laced with annoyance that you'd have to listen closely to hear. He stood at the doorway for a moment in a suit, just like the other men wore, and it would be a lie to say he didn't look very attractive. Even more so than the other three that were in the room.

He then made his way to the table taking a seat at the head of the table, not much to my surprise.

"Y-yes sir." I muttered suddenly feeling very nervous. I hadn't realized I'd averted my eyes downwards until I glanced up and noticed the three men staring at me. Miles looked at me almost in pity, whilst the other two didn't really have much expression.

"Well, what are you all waiting for?" Dante raised his voice, snapping the four of us back to reality as we all rushed to what we were expected to do.

It surprised me seeing the three men do just as Dante told them, they seemed like the type of people to stand their own ground and not be messed with.

Although when it came to Dante, I could see why even the scariest of men would back down to him, as nobody was more intimidating than him.

And that was rich coming from me who'd spent years with rich, seemingly intimidating men.

I guess Dante was a source not to be messed with, and I wondered why...
