Chapter 484: + - 484+
Angelo got comfortable on a couch in Nikolai’s office, the carpet had been changed, twice over. He was right about to tell Nikolai to just leave it till the day was over because even if the carpets were changed, it was only a matter of time before someone else bled out on them.
He didn’t have much to do, not with the row of emotionless killers that hung around Nikolai. For today, Angelo didn’t mind it.
It was mid-afternoon and he was already drowsy. He really should have spent the day recuperating, instead he ran around doing shopping and then came right to Nikolai’s casino.
The smell of blood and gunpowder didn’t bother him, it was business as usual for Angelo.
Nikolai was constantly watching Angelo, so he immediately noticed when the assassin’s eyes got heavy. Angelo drew his knees in and rested his head against them, fighting a losing battle to keep his eyes open.
His phone rang next to him but he ignored it, pocketing it and rising to his feet. Angelo straightened up when he did, looking at him curiously.
"We’re leaving early," Nikolai let him know.
Angelo was quick to hop to his feet, although he knew that when they got back to the mansion, he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep as easily as he had been about to do in Nikolai’s office.
It reminded him of the brief naps he took in Silvia’s office while he worked for her. Being able to fall asleep in Nikolai’s office as well really shouldn’t have come as a surprise.
However, he didn’t want to sleep on his first day on the job, he had a reputation to keep. Although, other than stabbing the spy from the High Council, he hadn’t done much else but watch Nikolai ruthlessly cut down anyone who went against him.
It should probably upset Angelo but the Mafia King had every reason and all the means to kill him and he hadn’t so he was indifferent to the danger Nikolai clearly was.
