My One Night Stand With The Mafia Boss

8-Him

My brown eyes wandered across the crowd and stopped at a pair of sea green ones.

They reflected my red dress in them...

And as burning with rage, they turned red...

I recognized them immediately...

Fuck.

What are you doing over here?

Mikhail Ivanov??

Looking at me directly he smirks...

I read his lips as they say, "Found you"

Shivers rose through my spine.

I averted my gaze and wiped the cold sweat of my face.

Then looked at him again to be sure if I was not seeing things...

But unfortunately I wasn't.

He stood there in his black suit within the crowd...

His eyes fixed on me...

"Josh, go introduce her to the guests" Mr Leon whispers into Josh's ears.

"Sure, let's go Lisha!" Josh says to me.

But I paid no heed to his words.

Because my heart was shrouded in fear and my eyes looked elsewhere.

I stood there like a statue.

"Lisha?" He called my name.

No response.

"Lisha!??" He called again.

Still no response.

"Lisha? Are you okay?" He asked, this time shaking me by the arm.

I gasped in reaction.

"Lisha? What's wrong? Are you not feeling well??" He asks, worried.

"No... That's not it. I was just very surprised..." I say.

"That's very natural. It's your engagement day afterall!" Me Leon laughs.

"Yes, you're right" I smile nervously.

"No need to worry, you will get used to it- Josh take her to meet the guests" he says.

"Sure, Dad" saying that Josh holds my arm and takes me to the guests.

A lot of bigshots were present in the party, I entertained them all with a smile.

Working in my company, I had good experience in handling our clients.

That is why it was easy for me to interact with these people.

I got so lost in the small talks and laughs that I almost forgot about what happened a while ago.

Until a voice greets us cheerfully, "Yo Josh!! Forgotten your old friend I see?"

Josh and I both turn around to see who it is...

And I instantly grow sick to the core of my stomach!

Mikhail Ivanov!!!!

"I'm hurt Josh!" He says, his sea green eyes looked terrifying, but there was an unnatural smile on his face.

"What are you talking about Mikhail? Me forgetting you? Never gonna happen!" Josh smiles widely and hugs Mikhail as if they were very close friend.

"How have you been?" Mikhail asks.

"I've been good, братан! How about you? I know you are a busy man but it makes me so happy that you had the time to drop by!"

(братан means brother in Russian)
