Chapter 184
Robert’s Point of View
I sat on the wooden chair with a cold indifference, lighting a cigarette and taking a deep drag before slowly exhaling the smoke into the face of the man cowering before . "What’s the matter, Snake?" I asked mockingly.
"Didn’t you enjoy seeing us?"
He tried to thrash around violently, growling from behind his mask, "Untie , you scoundrel!"
I watched him calmly, bound tightly to the chair with a black blindfold covering his eyes completely. "Let’s see what the Don does when he finds out his right-hand man is in my possession," I said in a resonant voice carrying a dark promise.
"You’ll regret this... I’ll kill you!" he spat with deep-seated malice, shaking his body in a desperate attempt to break free.
I chuckled softly, flicking the cigarette ash onto the floor. "Calm down, calm down... this is only the first day. I’m going to teach you all how to dare steal a shipnt from ."
I rose slowly from the chair and exited the dark room, ordering the guard to lock the door firmly, then headed to Carlos’s office. I walked in without knocking. "Carlos, I’m leaving now," I said curtly.
"Fine," he replied, without lifting his eyes from the paperwork.
I paused for a mont, observing his stiff features. "What’s wrong? Why are you so irritated?" I asked.
"It’s nothing, Robert," he said coldly, rubbing his forehead.
"Hmm... alright," I said, narrowing my eyes with suspicion.
I left the warehouse and got into my car. As I was preparing to take off, my phone rang; it was Olivia. I answered imdiately. "Yes, Olivia."
"I’m leaving the club now, sir," she said in an exhausted tone. "I don’t feel well... I might be getting sick."
"Fine, Olivia," I said in a businesslike tone.
"The custors who arrived today... I’ve sent them to the girls’ rooms as you requested," she added in a low voice.
"Excellent," I replied with satisfaction.
I hung up, and at that mont, Julie crossed my mind. Is she asleep now, I wonder? Or is she still awake? And did she realize that I was the one who ordered the pizza and hamburger for her?
Rembering her childish amazent, a faint smile ford on my lips. I shook my head in despair at myself and whispered, "Look at you, Robert... you’ve started doing things that don’t befit a mafia man at all."

Julie’s Point of View
I devoured the pizza and hamburger hungrily; I needed a lot of energy to face what was going to happen today. I got up imdiately and headed to the bathroom.
I brushed my teeth ten tis... or maybe eleven, I don’t know; I stopped counting after eight. I dried my hair and brushed it so it fell smoothly over my shoulders, then began the hardest part: What should I wear?
With trembling hands, I took the phone and started searching. I typed: "What to wear to seduce a cold man?" The results appeared, and I began reading with intense focus:
Option 1: A tight dress that highlights your curves. "No, I definitely won’t wear a dress this late; it would look suspicious."
Option 2: A short skirt and a strapless top. "No, no, that’s a wrong choice too."
Option 3: A sexy nightgown. "Yes! This is the perfect choice since it’s nightti."
I turned off the phone and hid it in its secret spot, then rushed to the closet, searching frantically. I almost lost hope, believing I had nothing suitable, until I pulled out a nightgown in deep crimson.
It was long with thin straps, the back completely open, and a high side slit that rose daringly high.
"Yes, this is the one."
I put it on and stood before the mirror. My God! How did I look like this? I truly looked like a captivating woman, not just the "little girl" Robert always called . I began putting on the finishing touches; I had to be bold. I picked up a bright red lipstick but felt it was too daring, so I put it back and replaced it with a soft nude color. I applied eyeliner, mascara, and a bit of blush... and yes, the perfu!
I started sniffing all the bottles until I found what I wanted: a scent that blended vanilla and oud. I sprayed a bit too much, murmuring with a nervous laugh, "Julie, you’re going to poison him with all this perfu!"
Now, how would I get to him? Should I go to his room? No, he’d realize instantly that I ca to seduce him. I thought for a mont until the idea of thanking him for the hamburger and pizza flashed in my mind; yes, that’s the perfect excuse.
I looked in the mirror one last ti. Damn it, my breasts are almost falling out of this cursed gown! I tried to tuck them in well and cover what could be covered.
I opened the door and stepped out barefoot, heading upstairs, my heart drumming like war beats in my chest. I was trembling with fear that a guard might see like this, but the hallway was completely empty.
I went to his room and knocked... silence. I knocked twice... no response. I entered the room and checked; it was empty. I went to the office; empty as well.
I went back downstairs in disappointnt, and as I was walking through the corridor, I spotted him coming from a distance. I froze in my place, and he began staring at in total shock.
Yes, this is exactly what’s required! When he reached , I flashed my most beautiful smile and prepared to speak, but he didn’t give the chance.
He grabbed my arm with a force that made gasp, shoved into my room violently, and slamd the door behind him. Then he shouted in my face, his eyes scanning my body with rampant fury:
"Are you insane?! How can you wear this?!"
