TAMING THE MAFIA QUEEN

Standing on the balcony, a black figure is seen, drinking a cup of coffee. Because it was still 3am in the morning, everywhere was quite dark, ad due to the fact there was no light in the room behind her, her face was not seen.

In the room is a middle aged man in his early thirties, standing nervously.

"There's a news circulating around social media" he started waiting for her her to say something.

"What does that have to do with me?" The reply came and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's about the school left by Sir Lucas, people have been leaving the school, both the highschool and college"

Slowly, she turned, her sharp blue eyes casting a look on him.

He swallowed and continued: "They keep saying you don't attend school and yet you always pass with flying colors, they are imposing you are often given high marks so you can pass"

Silence ensued, then a question came: "Mr Smith, what do you think I should do?"

"I would say you should go back to school, in less than a year you'd supposedly graduate"

She nodded and turned back around: "Alright, have heard you. Prepare a car for me"

He hesitated contemplating whether to ask.

"Don't assign any guard"

He breathed out a sigh of relief and bowed: "Yes ma'am"

Immediately Mr Smith left, a call entered her phone.

Fetching the phone from her pocket, she smiled and swiped the answer icon saying: "what are you doing up so early?"

The person at the other end gasped: I'm sorry Tequila, right here it's already 8:12am, is it that early over there?"

Tequila nodded and answered: "It's 3:12am"

"I'm sorry, should I call later?"

"It would have been better but since you've called now, just go straight to the point" 

"Alright, I hope you still remember my wedding is in three days time right?"

Tequila slammed her forehead with her palm, biting her lips angrily: "Three days time? Friday?"

"Yes"

"I'm sorry Emily, my schedule on that day is the tightest, I'm afraid I won't be able to come but I would join via zoom"

Emily sighed from the other end: "You promised! But it's okay since you've promised to attend via zoom no problem"

Tequila said with gratitude: "thanks for understanding Emily"

"It's okay, I was thinking of calling vanessa but I'll have to wait for some few hours. I'm still upset with her"

Tequila said nothing and taking that as a cue to hang up, Emily said: "I'll hang up now"
