‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’ I snarled to myself.
I should have known that something else was going on with this business dinner the moment I stepped into the restaurant. Apart from the owners, there were a suspicious number of other men that were present with us. I couldn’t possibly fathom why their presence was considered mandatory when this was supposedly meant to be just a real estate expansion deal.
Something from the dark recesses of my mind told me that this wasn’t the case.
While Elio was speaking closely with one of the owners, I’d taken the time to study each and every person who sat around the table. Each guy carried a lethal air about himself and gave no doubt that they were carrying some concealed weapon on their person.
