Chapter 343: Mere errand boy
Varya was caught off guard by Roger’s question. She hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Sensing her reluctance, Roger didn’t press for an answer. Instead, he remained quiet as he continued driving.
After a short while, he pulled up in front of a restaurant. Shifting the gear into park, he turned to her with a polite smile.
"I’ll park the car. You should head inside," he said.
Varya nodded and stepped out of the vehicle as Roger drove ahead to find a parking spot.
A few minutes later, he returned to the entrance, where she was waiting. "Shall we?" he asked.
Together, they walked into the warmly lit restaurant, where the soft hum of conversation and gentle background music created an inviting atmosphere. The host led them to a table by a floor-to-ceiling window, offering a picturesque view of the city lights.
As soon as they settled in, a waiter approached with the menus.
"Here, you decide," Roger said, handing Varya the menu.
She took it and browsed through the selections before placing her order. When the waiter turned to Roger, he simply said, "I’ll have the same."
The waiter nodded, taking their menus before disappearing into the kitchen.
Roger took a sip of water, and just as he set the glass down, Varya broke the silence. "How long have you been in the mafia?" she asked with curiosity.
