Chapter 7 Focus on Work

Rosa stood beside the long window in the passage, gazing out of the window at the blue sky. She didn't plan well before coming, thinking Adrian would fall at her feet at first sight was a mistake. Starting with a mistake is a dangerous game that could cost her her life if she fails to think of a back up plan Asap. It doesn't matter if she needs to kill or not, you can't be in a mafia house and not have your hands soaked with blood. The thought of Emilia in the same room with Adrian fueled her anger, that's her rightful spot.

She belongs in his chamber, not a weird dumb stupid girl that has nothing to offer. The sight of her irritates her but she needs to befriend her if she wants anything to work out in her favour. She survived this far so she can become the queen of the Sky empire, the most sought after. She covets the respect and dignity of being by Adrian's side. Any woman would kill for that. Why can't it just be her, she would learn any kind of tech if that would make Adrian spare her a glance. "I thought you said you had everything planned out. Did you know you could have met with instant death if Adrian was not in a good mood yesterday? I didn't feed you against his orders all these years to have you die like a chicken. What were you thinking of" Leonard thundered, his face contorted in anger, glaring at Rosa furiously. "Calm down Leonard, you can't blame me for what happened yesterday. I thought he still had a soft spot for me. I didn't know it was harder than I thought" Rosa replied with a shrug. "And who should I blame Hun? Myself? For being kind enough to help your helpless ass or what? You fucking slept with his servant, and you think he will still have a soft spot left for you. The fact that you are still standing here is soft enough. Giving the same food you give to a king to his slave. How disgusting!!!" Leonard roared in anger. "I admit to my mistakes okay,as if you weren't interested in me too" Rosa hissed. Leonard grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall, his hand tightening around her neck "you had better get any sick ideas you might have out of your small skull. I would rather mate with a dog than have anything to do with you. You better come up with a better plan while you are at it" he released his hold on her, straightening his shirt before walking away. "Bastard" Rosa exclaimed, gasping for air, tears had formed in her eyes "ouch" she cried in pain as she tried to hold her neck. **** Emilia sat on the couch in the large sitting room, eyes glued to the screen with her glasses on the tip of her nose. Her hair pulled up in a messy bun. With her headphones plugged in her ears. "See who's busy working. I must say you look so pretty while working" Leonard said sitting opposite her. Emilia ignores his presence even though she's not listening to anything from the headphones. Adrian had promised to order a new laptop for her before the end of the day. Leonard frowned, he's Adrian's right-hand man and his presence commanded respect. He was accorded the same respect they gave to Adrian. Even though he's young, his talent and ruthlessness was what attracted him to Adrian when they first met. "Hmmm, submit" Emilia said, hitting the submit button, flexing her two hands. "Well done, do you care for a glass of cold juice?" Leonard tried his luck again, smiling at her. Emilia looked at him for a while before responding "sure I will, I think that will help" Leonard made his way towards the left side where the glass fridge was positioned, he brought out apple juice for Emilia and red wine for himself. Took two glass cups from the shelf. "I hope you are enjoying yourself here. You can have anything at the snap of your finger. And believe me when I say I've never met a pretty girl with good brains like you" Leonard complimented her, sipping his wine. "Hmm I'm flattered, I'm sure that you've come across a genius that is way better than I am and could do a better job" Emilia said smiling, settling her laptop and glasses aside. Her headphone was hanging around her neck. "Nope, there's always a man for the job and that's why you are chosen. You are the only one that can help build our walls very tightly. You have the experience and I'm sure we are in a good hand" Leonard buttered his points. He has a thing for anything that represents beauty. They continue discussing the state of things, Emilia was engrossed in their discussion losing track of time. Her voice threw Adrian attention to where they were sitting, a deep frown formed on his face, rage took over his heart. She wouldn't talk to him but she dares to laugh with someone else. What nonsense! His eyes moved to the woman she's wearing, another short with a crop top again? Can't she dress properly for once. Is she trying to seduce his staff? "Leo, please get me my iPad from the car" Adrian ordered, his voice as cold as ice. "Yessir," Leonard replied, leaving the room. What? iPad? The iPad is in his hand, Leonard looked back and met his boss glare before he disappeared. "Are you trying to seduce my staff? Am I not enough for you Hun, how could you wear this around the house? As long as we are together, you are mine?" Adrian said icily, running his fingers on her laps. "Mr. Adrian, I wear this because it's comfortable for me and no I'm not interested in any of your staff. None of you are my spec. I'm only fulfilling my own end of the bargain and I wish you do the same" Emilia said with a half smile on her face, removing Adrian's hand on her lap. "Focus on work and nothing else" Adrian warned before heading to his room
