She stared down at the check he presented to her. "I want a bank transfer."
"Are you saying Vincenzo does not honour his words?"
"You might but I don't trust others." She made sure to glare at the guard that tripped her.
"Felix means no harm."
She called her bank account number, still shooting bad looks at Felix.
Vincenzo nodded at Matteo to transfer the money to her. Tessa felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and she froze, unable to believe she had actually collected money from the Mafia.
"How about I make a deal with you? Two hundred every month as my secretary. Your boarding and feeding will be taken care of and I'll add in a shopping allowance for months that I'm impressed." He limped forward.
Tessa shook her head. "The Mafia's business is not my business."
"It would be a shame to let you go. There's very little I find redeeming in people, loyalty is one of such."
"Did I meet Vincenzo, no? Do I know if he's a man or myth? A mere rumour, I suppose." Tessa zipped her lips and made a show of throwing the key away before she turned to leave.
Vincenzo turned to Matteo as soon as his savior crossed the gate. "Are we sure about Rossi's involvement with those killers?"
"Not yet."
