Silence had fallen all over as Adriano stayed still listening to her words with the slight shock on his face. He had never talked to her without Don's presence.
"A few things to be run by me?" Highly sexist him but he was not supposed to work for Donna but Don himself.
She smiled and nodded. "Yes I had talked to Angelo about this numerous times and whenever he has something to be done, you are the man for the job. Now I'd like to see that for myself."
She handed him a new list in which he had written the words again. "Here are a few times and changes that need to be carried out. For brothels, the changes should be made first."
He looked at her with wide eyes and asked, "You visited one?"
"You think my marriage has been an easy one?" She threw at him.
He was silent after that.
"Donna I cannot do this without direct authorisation from the don." He did not hand over the last but his hesitance was clear.
