The captain and another guard strategically covered them with their body in case of a sneak attack as they walked through the crowd while Aziz was at the corner scanning through, receiving, and passing reports through the hidden wire behind his ear.
In no time, Cindy was out of there safely but the girl didn’t leave the club entirely, she was in one of the private rooms to have a drink. Cindy decided she wanted to have a good time before retiring for the night.
Seeing the others got it covered and let’s be honest, they don’t want him around, Elijah decided to just hang out around the club when he received a word – Cindy wanted to see him.
Elijah sighed, this girl really needed to know he wasn’t her age mate and assistant. So this was how it felt when he commanded his brother’s people around. This was definitely karma.
By the time Elijah reached the room, the captain’s scowling face alone told him that whatever errand Cindy was about to have him do wasn’t favorable to the others.
“Your girlfriend wants only you inside,” the captain sneered, openly expressing his contempt this time. It seems his hatred has reached the limit and was ready to combust.
Aziz raised his brows, “Come on man, don’t say that,” He said to him, with a hint of a joke in it, “That’s child abuse.” He hinted that Cindy was too young for him to date.
But the man simply didn’t care because he said, “Oh please, don’t give me that innocent look. I heard that’s the same way you bewitched Lance, tell me, did the both of you fuck? Who’s the power bottom? I guess it’s you since you don’t seem to disparage between both sex.”
Coldness seeped into Elijah’s eyes and he reeked of killing intent and would have really killed that loudmouth if he didn’t remember his mission in the first place. This was for Rhea, he couldn’t let anyone ruin it.
Moreover, people were bound to speak whether he liked it or not. Not everyone was going to like him. Also, he had no interaction with this jealous lowlife; he wasn’t worth his anger.
So Aziz simply grabbed the doorknob and went in just as the jealous captain shouted from behind, “Do a good job of guiding the princess,” He laid more emphasis on the word, “guiding” and hinted that they would do a lot more than that.
Shaking his head, Elijah opened the door and walked into a room full of young adults aka Cindy’s friends. He sighed, he was really going to hate this.
“Oh, there he is.” Cindy noticed his presence as soon as he came in, gesturing him over to her side with the drink in her hand.
Aziz looked around the room, observing there was no guard with them. There was just Cindy, her manager, and four of her friends with him. No wonder the asshole captain told him to take good care of the princess. All of her friends were probably from influential families and if anything went wrong, the blame would be on him the hardest.
Maybe he should just give up on this mission because he was getting sidetracked. Elijah should think of another way to rescue Rhea. It seems his biggest mistake was getting arrogant and failing to rescue Rhea on the day of her wedding to Big Joe. Did he think he could take on Lukas by himself?
No, he has come a long way and wouldn’t give up easily now. He would survive this. What has a bunch of spoiled, rich teens got on him?
He Was Ambidextrous
Bonus chapter – Thank you GarnetGold For your castle!
Elijah still had the thoughts in his head when he heard a squeal by his side.
“Oh my gosh! He’s as handsome as you described,”
The blonde girl had a hand to her mouth trying to contain the excitement inside of her, “Tell me, Cindy, if you’re not making him yours, I want him!” She stretched her painted manicured hands to make her point.
“What the….” Elijah was lost for words when the girl made a pass at him.
He blinked twice, trying to make sure he was seeing and hearing right? Where were this kid’s parents, do they even know she’s at the club? He was tempted to teach some discipline to her. In the future, he would keep a better eye on his own daughter.
“Back off, he’s mine,” Cindy glared warningly at her friend who released a wistful sigh while Elijah was left in disbelief. He took back his words, he couldn’t handle these reckless and crazy kids.
“Come on,” Cindy tapped the space beside her on the sofa since he was standing, “Sit with me.”
“No, thanks, I’m good where I am.” Elijah stood his ground, “I’m here to guard you not to have fun,” He resumed his formal and professional tone.
…..
But to his surprise, Cindy simply reached out and pulled him down by the hem of his shirt and he stumbled down on the sofa. She said, “Who said you can’t have fun while on the job?” she grinned at him and all Elijah could conjure were shark teeth. He was toasted.
“Pour me a drink,” Cindy commanded, bringing the empty glass to him. Somebody was getting cheeky with him.
“Are your hands paralyzed? Do them yourselves, you brat!” Elijah said all of those words in his head. The identity he was currently using was kind and obedient, it would seem suspicious if he switched to his cold and aloof personality.
So instead, he smiled and took the glass from her. Elijah filled the glass with ice cubes, then added rum with lime juice. Stirring it with a bar spoon and finally garnishing it with a lime wedge.
It was while he was doing so that he managed to ask, “I hope all of your friends here are of legal age, I don’t want you to get into any trouble with the authorities.”
“If she gets into trouble, you clean it up. That’s your job anyway or isn’t that what you’re paid for?” The manager said out of nowhere popping cashew nuts into his mouth nonchalantly.
Elijah’s demeanor changed instantly, even a mere manager dares to insult him now?
He peered up at the manager with his dark gaze and the manager whose gaze happened to cross his at that moment saw the murderous intent there and choked on the nuts instantly.
It seemed funny at first as the manager coughed incessantly until he fell on all fours on the floor, still coughing and trying to get out the nut that lodged in his throat, tears escaping his eyes from the discomfort.
At the scene, the kids couldn’t stay still anymore and all except Cindy came to the man’s aid. The dumb one kept asking how he was doing when it was obvious he couldn’t speak. The smarter one quickly began to hit his back hard for a while until the man threw up the nut that went down the wrong pipe.
“Eww,” Cindy commented at the action of her manager throwing up while the other kid took a bottle of water from the table, uncapped it, and gave it to the man who drank from it as if his life depended on it.
When the manager finished, he burped and the girls did a collective, “Eww, disgusting.” this time.
The man finally recovered, recognizing that he had messed up big time. Embarrassed and still scared of Elijah’s chilling eyes – how were the others not able to see that? – he picked up his things in a hurry saying, “I need to leave early. Have fun, you guys?”
And successfully made it to the door until Elijah’s startling voice stopped him, “Where do you think you are going without your artist?”
The manager gulped, he was on the verge of crying. What now? He didn’t say anything else, why won’t that scary guard won’t let him be? The manager was traumatized by the nut incident – he almost died from choking all because of him.
He slowly turned to Aziz, bearing a please- have- mercy- on- me – expression.
“Just let him be, I don’t need him anyway when I got you,” Cindy dismissed him without noticing Elijah’s menacing smile.
It was the manager who saw it all and took off as quickly as his feet could carry him. Who took in that psychopath as a guard? Was the Luciano family okay in the head? As much as the manager wanted to report him, he loved his life which meant he was keeping his mouth shut.
Elijah was still looking in the direction of the door, his lips curled to the side in an evil smirk when he handed the drink to Cindy and didn’t notice the hand he used.
“You’re ambidextrous.” Cindy said without giving it much thought but to Elijah, it felt like someone just dropped a bomb on him.
That single word “ambidextrous” made the previous smile on his face drop and he let his guard up immediately. No one else except his family knew he was efficient at using both hands and he’s used the skill to deceive a lot of people.
Most people guessed the phantom ghost was left-handed while the rest thought he was right-handed, depending on what he wanted them to believe.
A chill entered Elijah’s eyes but thankfully Cindy was too dumb and careless yet it was risky. From now on, he had to be very careful around her. She might be a kid but she was a Luciano and was trained better than the average humans out there. She would notice something if he dropped too many hints
