THE ACCIDENTAL ENCOUNTER
CRYSTAL SUITES AND BAR: 11:00PM
Am so…. Sorry sir, please forgive my incompetence Elena started shivering, fear and regret evident in her voice.
She was really having double mind while coming to ask Leonardo and his men what they would like to drink, and now she has messed everything up.
she stared at the ruined cloth with wide eyes.
The man looks strange and calm; it seems he came to for a business deal in the bar, where she works as a waitress.
His clothes looks very expensive and sophisticated, the Worth of this man’s attire might feed me for a year she said in her mind
Am so sorry sir, she said loudly again but the man just kept quiet.
His quietness kept Elena uneasy as the aura around him was sending chills down her system.
Sir I promise to do anything just to show how deeply sorry I am please, Elena blurted out.
Slowly Leonardo raised his head and asked her “did you just say you will do anything to earn my forgiveness”? He asked her calmly.
Elena nodded innocently unaware of the impending danger.
FLASHBACK: 10:00PM SAME DAY
Elena was already rounding up her shift for the day’s work when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching the entrance of the club.
Thank God am done for today she said to herself, as glanced at the strange looking men that just entered the bar.
I think I should start going before the look on the faces of this men make me pee on myself she said as she made her way to the Manager's office.
******************************
What the hell is keeping them from delivery my goods Leonardo roared!!, as he glanced at his wrist watch for the umpteenth time.
Bro calm down let's just give them extra 20 minutes they might be on their way, Marco his right hand man and best friend tried to calm him down.
Well I think…………
Complete that statement, I promise to rip of your hands and send it as a gift to your old mother in the village, he said with a glare.
I will gladly submit them to you my dear big bro Marco smirked at him
Marco and Leonardo have been friends since childhood though he is 2 years younger but their age difference has no effect on their relationship.
He is the only person who can talk to Leonardo freely and joke with him without any fear or punishment
He was brought into the clan as a captive by Leonardo's father when he was 14. Leonardo became closer to him, when he saw the potential in him.
Something in me is telling me that today's deal is going to be different.
I can't remember the last time I stayed this long for a common exchange man!!
Shading the blood of some little fellas wouldn't be a bad Idea though.
It's been 3 days already I last saw blood Leonardo muttered maniacally as he observed his environment.
Asshole!!! Marco said under his breath and rolled eyes at him, as he shifted his focus and attention back to his phone.
I heard you kid bro! Leonardo smiled at him.
Whatever, At least I said it loud enough for u to hear.
15 MINUTES LATER
What the hell is happening here, are we that small for the workers here not to recognize our presence Marco yelled at customer who he mistook for a waiter.
Am sorry sir, but I don't work here am a customer sir.
I don't f*****g care, now go in there right and get me something to drink you fool
Marco said in a tune that made the young guy flinch, he scurried away to the Manager's office.
Marco might be calm, but he can be deadly and dangerous when provoked or angered.
Why are you being dramatic? Please sit down you are disturbing my eardrum.
Seriously Marco asked him with wide eyes, you are comfortable in this so called bar.
I can vividly remember the word you called me minutes ago, “Asshole" right ?
Now look at yourself are you not the asshole here? You are creating a scene because of a drink, ordinary whiskey or perhaps wine.
You see, you are still a kid that is yet to mature. if I call you a kid, you think am insulting you.
Well As for your big bro here, he is okay, as long as he Doesn't spend his dime on drinks today because he has a lots of things to do with cash Leonardo shrugged.
I hate you!! Marco glared at him.
It's mutual kid bro he winked at him.
******************************************************************
MANAGER'S OFFICE
Mr. Dante, I think it’s time to take my leave, it’s almost 11:30 Elena said while removing her apron.
Mr. Dante is her boss, the manager of Crystal bar and suites. He is a kind and benevolent men, but strict when it comes to work.
That's true, remember to....... The remaining words hung on his throat as a young man in his early twenties barged into his office.
Mr. Dante exchanged glances with Elena before turning to the guy.
Young man who is you and what are you doing in my office?
Shut the f**k up and spare me that annoying question!!
What sort of useless bar is this, I have been here for ages and no waiter or waitress to attend to me!!
Is this how you run this place hmmm?
For your information, Leonardo is in this bar, I hope that name rings bell in your ear.
So if you know what is good for you, get your lazy ass off that chair and serve him, if you don't want this place to be burnt down within a twinkle of an eye he said and left through the back door.
He is the guy Marco called a fool and mistook for a worker few minutes ago.
What!!! Mr. Dante. Exclaimed with wide eyes before giving Elena a questioning look
I don't know, maybe they just got here, Elena denied immediately.
If customers were there, I would have seen them before coming in here, Elena shrugged.
Please my dear I know it late, I promise to give you a ride once we are done. The Leonardo I know is not supposed to be kept waiting.
Elena had no other option than to face the men she tried escaping from.
BACK TO PRESENT.
Very well then Leonardo looked at her, stood up and went out.
Just like that, maybe he is not as wicked as he looks and as rumored she shrugged.
Is he actually the Leonardo, that guy was talking about, Elena said to herself as she started walking back the Mr. Dante office to take her bag.
Just one step she took, a sedative was injected into her neck from behind; she felt dizzy and passed out
“Of course I am actually the Leonardo they are talking about” he smirked as his men took Elena to his car.
