Chapter - 18
House Of Cards
Nicolas was thinking about Elio during one of his meetings. For the first time Elio showed interest in mafia business. Should he let him get involved in this? He doesn't know. He wouldn't have allowed Elio to get involved in the mafia shit, but since Elio asked him first meant he wanted to know about the business genuinely. His family hid so many things from him so it's time somebody started doing the correct thing, if that means he wants to know about the gang. He's the Donna. Nicolas smiled to himself thinking about Elio being their gang's Donna.
"Sir?"
His secretary called him and he was pulled out of his thoughts. He saw everyone looking at him with shocked faces. His old cold face came back.
"Continue."
He said and went back to focusing on the meeting. After the meeting Nicolas went to the base. He had to manage his legal business plus the mafia business. He got a call from Elena.
"Hey."
"Hey. I called you to tell you that we need extra men for today's container checking."
"Okay. Just text me the address and i'll send the men directly there."
"Okay."
"Wait!"
Nicolas said before Elena cut the call.
"I want to show Eli the things inside mafia. Where should i start from?"
Elena was silent for some time that Nicolas thought she hung the call.
"What?"
Elena asked.
"When did you and Eli get so close?"
Nicolas didn't know what to say. Is it bad that they're close? Well they're like friends, so what's wrong with that?
"I'll talk to you later. I have a meeting now."
With that Elena cut the call. Nicolas was confused with Elena's behaviour. Why is she acting like this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elio was rummaging through his wardrobe to find the perfect outfit for Nicolas's company visit.
"What the fuck should i wear to a company?"
Elio said to himself. A knock pulled him out of his thoughts. It was coming from the door connecting his and Nicolas's room, meaning it was Nicolas.
"Come inside Nicolas."
"You didn't come down for breakfast."
Nicolas said eyeing the dresses laid on the bed.
"What are you doing?"
Nicolas asked folding his arms.
"Mm? I was deciding which outfit to wear."
Elio said and looked at Nicolas. He looked at Nicolas head to toe.
"I don't have suits like you, and i'm sure that i can't wear jeans and T-shirt to a company."
Nicolas sighed and went towards Elio's closet and took some clothes. He gave a black cardigan and black pants to try on.
"Try this on."
Nicolas said and went to sit on Elio's bed. Elio looked at Nicolas and went to the bathroom realising he won't leave the room. Nicolas was scrolling through his phone when Elio came out of the bathroom.
"So?"
Nicolas looked up when Elio spoke. His breath caught in his throat looking at Elio. Elio looked so pretty even though he was wearing simple outfit. Everyone in his company would definitely stare at him. Nicolas clenched his fists thinking about that.
"Change this."
Nicolas said through his gritted teeth.
"But wh-."
Elio didn't finish his sentence seeing Nicolas's expression. Elio pouted thinking that Nicolas must have not liked the outfit. He went again to change the outfit, after all he's going to Nicolas's company, and he doesn't want to embarrass him. Nicolas stopped using his phone and decided to give his full attention to Elio's 'fashion show'. Suddenly he was interested in what Elio wore. Next outfit he wore was a checkered shirt and pants. Nicolas made him change again, the main reason being how good Elio's butt looked in that. He made Elio try atleast 5 outfits. Elio was getting tired and he was starting to think Nicolas didn't want him to go to the company that's why he was doing this. He decided to tell Nicolas he won't change again and he won't be coming to the company, but Nicolas was already standing outside with a blue striped shirt in his hand.
"Wear this."
Nicolas said handing him the shirt. This was not his shirt.
"It's mine."
Nicolas said looking away. Elio held the shirt close to chest and went to change. Nicolas thought to give Elio his shirt because it was the ugliest one in his closet. There would be no way Elio would look good in it, so nobody will stare at him. He smirked at his own idea.
"I'm ready."
"Let's g-"
Nicolas's words stuck in his throat. Elio once again managed to look ethreal in one of the most ugliest shirt he has. The shirt was a little big on him, and the top two buttons was undone. Nicolas walked to him and stood before him. He took a deep breath and pulled Elio towards him by his waist. Elio gasped and held Nicolas's shoulders.
"W-what are you doing?"
Elio whispered.
"We need to fix your shirt."
Nicolas said and Elio frowned at that. Nicolas buttoned up the top two buttons and tucked in the shirt. He felt how dainty Elio's waist was while tucking it in. Nicolas took a step back and rounded Elio like a predator. Elio rubbed his arms feeling intimidated suddenly. Nicolas stopped and looked at Elio's ass, yep it was bad idea to tuck in the shirt.
"Let's go."
Nicolas said and stormed out. The whole ride Nicolas was silent while Elio was excited and happy to go to the company. He was going to visit and see their company and Nicolas will tell them about their gang. Isn't that a huge thing. Elio felt like for the first time in his life he was treated as an adult and not a teenager. The car stopped and Elio took a deep breath looking at the big building in front of him. He was literally jumping in his seat. Elio looked at Nicolas to see what to do next. Nicolas nodded at him and he opened the door and got outside. Nicolas walked to his side and stood by him.
"Let's go!"
Elio said, but was stopped by Nicolas. Nicolas took off his coat and put it over Elio's shoulder.
"It will be so cold due to the AC." Nicolas said and he felt like smacking himself. What type of an excuse was that?
