Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 40

“So, how do you know Hayden?” Josh asked as he tried to make light conversation with me.

Unknowingly, he’s causing both Hayden and me much discomfort. I glanced over at Hayden, begging him to answer the question. I bet Hayden had decided not to tell anyone about our strange living arrangement and relationship. I mean, even I decided not to tell anyone about our bizarre situation.

“She’s just a girl that I know…” Hayden answered vaguely.

“Oh yeah?” Josh replied, clearly dissatisfied with Hayden’s vague answer.

Thankfully, Josh didn’t push the topic any further and switched to asking me random questions about myself instead such as what I was up to lately. He showed genuine interest when I told him that I’m studying art. Overall, Josh and I seemed to get along just fine, and he was a very sociable person.

“Do you have a good memory by any chance?” Josh asked out of nowhere.

“I guess my memory is decent…” I replied, a little surprise at his seemingly random question.

“Good…read and remember this,” Josh said as he took out a small piece of paper from his shirt pocket and handed it over to me.

I looked down at the paper in my hand and realized that it was a mini factsheet about Josh. Details such as his birthday, favorite food, favorite color was among the various things listed there.

“I see…” I muttered.

I guess I must learn this in case I’m asked. I found this quite amusing and began chuckling a little to myself.

“I see why you think this is funny,” Josh said.

“Do you really think that she may ask these questions?” I asked.

“You never know…I hope these questions are the only thing she asks…” Josh muttered under his breath as if he was talking to himself.

I couldn’t help but notice that he was the stark contrast to his best friend, Hayden. I wonder how these two became best friends despite being polar opposites. The more I chatted with Josh, the more I managed to relax, and I began to enjoy myself and his company.

Reflecting on Josh’s situation made me realize that his situation wasn’t exactly that different from mine and Hayden’s. I guess parents of the rich and wealthy had a thing for arranging marriages for their children. The big difference was that I owed Hayden’s father a huge debt while the other girl in question was a rich heiress in her own right. I guess I could understand him…

I studied the paper and committed the details on the paper to my memory as best as I could.

“Miss Janine is here,” a bodyguard came in to inform us.
