My Soulmate Is A Mafia

The Dinner

Chapter 10

Rochelle's POV

I reached at the restaurant where dinner was supposed to be held tonight . The name of this hotel is " Brimon " as I enter guard asked me, if I have a reservation I nodded my head .

" Can you please show me the booking slip." " Yeah sure " I opened the sling bag to pull my out my phone. Where is it I remember I kept it inside my bag. Just give me a minute I will show you the slip. He was keeping an eye on me like I was lying about.

" Mam, you are blocking the path can you pls continue your search by stepping aside a little. "

" Ohh, I am sorry, I didn't realise. " I didn't realise, I was moving towards the middle of the path while looking through the sling until I bumped into something hard ouch, it hurts. It's not something someone when I saw the shiny shoes of the person

" Ouch, I am sorry sir, it was my mistake. I didn't saw you coming; I was not looking up while walking I am really sorry, " I uttered while I was rubbing my forehead.

When I removed my hand to look at the person to see him the jerk I treated yesterday looking at me. I looked at him with my big eyes. Why is it him can I not bump into some pole or someone else instead of him now I have to argue with him because I don't think he can talk like a civil person.

He looked at me with his unwavering eyes

" Hey venus, I didn't know I will see you this soon and finally you are sorry. By the way Are you following me or I didn't know you are stalker type of a person who stalked me till here to apologies to me you are so cute." Huh, I stalked him and who is venus is he taking me for someone else or may be he is talking to someone else I looked behind and there was no one behind me. I looked at him again " Are you talking to me " he said yes but why is he calling me Venus.

" I thought you are talking to your fellow ghosts who accompany you to this restaurant venus, I am not venus and I didn't said sorry to you for yesterday; I said sorry because I bumped into you right now and about yesterday it is you who should apologise to me you did the wrong you got violent yesterday i didn't not do anything wrong " I told him.

" Ohh Venus, you said sorry and I accepted it who don't have to get embarrassed about it I already accepted your apology for the mistake you did yesterday and what do you mean by fellow ghost. "

Is he mad or what " Hey, listen I am not venus my name is 'Rochelle Ryne'and where and when did you lose them. "

" Lose what? "

"Your screw" I pointed at his mind.

" You " he said with gritted teeth.

" What, you go find them before you lost them forever or it will become difficult for you to survive you will become ghost a horrible looking ghost. " When I called him ghost again he looked pissed and that makes me so happy hehe. Before he could say something, the guard asked me to show my slip and when he looked at me and ghost.

He bow down and wished him " Good evening, Sir " I looked at him and Mr. Ghost why he is calling him sir.

" Yeah, I am searching for it please give me a minute. " I totally forgot about the slip because of him.

" Did you came here without reservation " he asked me. " It's none of your business " I said to him .

" It is my business, Venus."

"How come it is your business Mr. Ghost and stop calling me that because I am not my name is 'Rochelle' Si " I asked him. He smiled at me.

" This place you are standing at and that restaurant where you are heading to is mine solely mine. "

I looked at my surroundings and found myself alone. I got a step close to him and whispered " But aren't you the Mafia? " .

" Who said I am not and why can't I own this being a Mafia. "

" Hmm, fine you have a point " I told him and it 's none of my business.

" I own this. I own lots of other businesses like your hospital Venn Nuus." Mam, slip guard asked me again.

" Ohh, sorry sorry sir, I will show it to you."

" Let her get inside, She is with me " he said to the guard he nodded his head and was going back to his place.

" Wait sir," he halted and looked at me then at Mr. Ghost. I looked through the bag and found my slip in inside pocket. " Sir this is my slip and I am not with this Mr. horrible looking ghost. " He looked at me he was trying to control his laughter then he looked at his sir nodded his head and went back to his place.

"You like to piss me off don't you Venus " he asked me.

" Don't call me that and Is that even a question " I asked him anyway " I am getting late, I don't have time to waste on horrible looking ghosts like you" , I said to him and by passed him but he yanked my arm pulled me closer to him.

" Do I look horrible Venus, tell me the truth. " My heart rate increased.

" Why is your heart thumping so loudly? I can hear it from here. "

" Leave me."

" Why are you feeling something? " he whispered in my ear. He touched my hair and snuffed them. " You smells so amazing."

" Enough ". I pushed him and went towards the reception counter.

" See you soon, Venus " he shouted.

In your dreams Mr. horrible looking ghost I ignored him and went to the reception.

" Excuse me, I have a table booked under Mr. Shane Ryne's name " I asked the receptionist.

" Let me check, mam." and check the list.

" Mam, it's on the second floor. It's a private dine-in room for four persons to dine - wait a minute mam, let me ask someone to lead you to the dining room. "

Sure, I replied to her. She called a waitress and asked are to take me to my designated room he booked for tonight. He can book the normal table what's with private dining room these rich people. I walked towards the room to see him looking at me he winked at me left the room . Jerk .

I entered the room with pale yellow walls. One wall had a painting of horses with designer lights on both sides. Other two were made of glass. One window was giving the full view of overbridges with cars going on it headlights blinking making it a magnificent view while the other one showed the entrance. A round table with five sitting with some flowers arranged at the centre of the table was placed and a chandelier hanging at the centre of the roof. I sat there waiting for them. First my parents came inside. I hugged them and sat down. " Ohh, I thought you'll be late. Good you are here. " I ignored her.

" Let's order " I said.

0"How can we order without your uncle?" Yeah right .

The door opened and my uncle entered. He looked at us then his eyes lingered on me . He smiled and walked towards me and gave me a side hug. " Hi sunshine. "

" Hello uncle. " He sat down.

" Did you guys order something ? " he asked and as usual my mum with her not so normal extra sweet tone replied to him ohh, no-no, how can we order without you sir.

" Sir " I asked her in a questioning tone. Ohh, no I mean "brother-in-law" she corrected . But didn't she say sir. Before I could ask her, my uncle said let's order for everyone. He ordered food for everyone himself.

I stopped the waitress " Umm, I would like to add extra spicy noodles pls. "

" No sunshine, it's unhealthy and spicy food is not good for you. Please bring what we ordered and cancel the noodles. " I closed my fist why did he invite us when I can't even have food I like?

" How are you? " I am a fine uncle.

" How is work and are doing well in academics? "

" Work and academics are doing great and I just have an assignment to finish and submit tomorrow. "

" Why didn't you finish it beforehand? How can you be so reckless? "

Huh, is he listening to himself? " I am not reckless. I almost finished my shift at the hospital last night without sleeping a bit but today I have to go to the market to buy a gift for you and then this dinner I didn't got the time " I replied.

" Rochelle, Behave " my mom shouted. Behave isn't he the one who started it. Why is it my fault? I kept quiet. I received a message on my phone. I was checking it when uncle spoke again.

" Who are you talking to? It's not good manners to engage yourself on the phone when we are all sitting around you. "

" It's a work message. I work at the hospital and I can't ignore it. "

" Switched off your phone " he commanded me.

" How can I receive an emergency message or call? I am a doctor. "

" Do it now ", he shouted. I didn't switch it off, kept it on the table and looked at him with angry eyes.

" Ask, What you have to ask me Uncle? "

" I have a return gift for you. I am sending you to Moscow after completion of your degree. You will shift there and you are never coming back. "

I looked at him shocked. He is insane. I looked at my parents but I forgot who I am, even expecting they are his puppets. " No, I am not leaving. "

" You are leaving before this year ends. "

" Do whatever you want to do uncle pull all your strings , I am not your puppet like them."

My parents stood up and said to me " you cannot stay at our home anymore. "

I stood up too. I smirked " And guess what, I am already moving out before my next birthday. You guys don't have to worry about money as well I am not going to use his money anymore, I will bear my own expenses. "

" Enough" Uncle shouted at us both and asked us to sit down " and you sunshine is not going to live alone never ever. "

" Ohh, sorry to disappoint you uncle, I don't have any obligation to you and you cannot control me so I AM NOT GOING TO FOLLOW YOUR ORDERS. " He got angry because I chose the food for myself or I checked my phone. I cannot switch it off because I am a doctor. Why can't he understand this thing and how can he ask me to leave my life behind. Who he thinks I am his submissive niece or his slave that I will obey him just because he is rich we aren't why doesn't he get it he can not control our life especially mine no chance. One thing I hate the most is taking orders and he is giving me one no way, I am going to listen to him. I picked up my purse and phone, pushed the bag of gifts I bought for him towards him and wished him. " Happy Birthday Uncle, I am leaving and thank you for the dinner you can have my meal " I gave my parents a look and barged out of the room .
