In Which the Alcohol Gets to Him

Lauretta followed Gael's gaze and saw his phone on the table. It was ringing with the name "Angel" on the screen. Her eyes widened, and she quickly grabbed his arm, tugged at it, and said, "Grandfather said you should show me around tomorrow!"

His phone stopped ringing, and the screen turned off. Angela didn't wait long enough for him to answer and had given up so fast. Gael swiped his phone off the table and gripped it. He was still pissed, and to add to that, Lauretta's being fûcking clingy next to him. Retracting his arm from her, he questioned, "What are you even doing here?"

"What?" Her brows were furrowed and she looked annoyed. "Are Morellis not allowed in your clubs? You surely overlooked it when Lia came years ago. Right, Gio?" She smirked at Giovanni.

"Lauretta!" Lia warned, pulling Lauretta's arm to stop her cousin.
