Chapter Seven

Andre

When he arrived at the office the next morning, Matteo was leaning over the receptionist desk and flirting with the new girl. Matteo had hired her, claiming that it would help make everything seem more legit, but now Andre was wondering if it was for a different reason. Andre ran a hand over his face making his way to the back conference room. He had left Cassandra sleeping peacefully, while he snuck out to get donuts to leave her when she woke up. Now that he was out of the apartment, he could feel the weight on his shoulders. He had been in the States for too long and wasn’t making any headway. They were making money on the streets, but it wasn’t enough. He needed to get into the arms deals, find a bigger connect for their drugs, tap into gambling. He needed better men and more brains. He decided to call Felix in Montreal, telling him to get his top earners on a plane and down to Chicago.

“Things not working out as planned with the Cagna?”

“Call her that again, and I’ll have you stuffed in a body bag.”

“Sorry, Boss,” he mumbled no doubt surprised by Andre’s reaction.

“I need more men here by Wednesday,” he snapped before hanging up. There was a soft knock at the door.

“Go away, Matteo,” he grumbled. The door opened, and Matteo swaggered over to the chair on the other side of the desk ignoring Andre’s sour mood.

“Good job hiring the new receptionist. I think she’ll fit in great,” he said leaning back in the chair.

Andre ran a hand through his hair. “You hired her, Matteo.”

“Did I?”

“What do you want?”

“Someone is in a mood.”

His blood was beginning to boil; it wasn’t often he got irritated. He was usually calm and laid back, scary when he needed to be, but this morning was not going as planned.

“This isn’t fun for me, Matteo.”

Matteo’s thick eyebrows fumed together. “What isn’t?”

Andre waved a hand around the office. “This! I can’t stand coming here every day like this is real. I’m a fucking hamster on a never-ending wheel.”

Matteo nodded seeming to understand. Matteo loved the business world; he was great at negotiating and selling people things they don’t need. That is why Andre had picked him for a partner on the legal side of things. Plus it kept Matteo in the clean so to speak.

“What’s going on with…” Matteo started to ask.

Andre raised his hand cutting him off. “If you say a Cagna I will cut your tongue out.”

Matteo’s face broke into a smile. “Ahh, so things are getting serious?”

Andre stood up grabbing his suit jacket from the back of the chair, no longer able to stand to be in the office a second longer.

*****

Andre spent the rest of the day checking on his men who were in the streets and making sure the product was still outselling Cassandra’s. It was something he didn’t really need to do but couldn’t find anything else to occupy his mind. At three o’clock he headed back to her apartment.
