Troy is staring at her and Dahlia could feel it. Dahlia knew that she needs to explain everything to him everything for he was the closest friend of his brother to her. Dahlia smiled sweetly at him, Troy chuckled and shook his head... "Oh, Clarence if you only knew that the little innocent baby sister of yours that you knew was now a very strong, stunning, and mysterious woman right now. I hope we as your friends can protect her. Although she already builds her empire in both business and underworld, I am still hoping that she will run to me and your other best friends if she was in a very hard situation" Troy said to himself.
Troy: "Dahlia, can we talk about the Black Shadow Mafia? I need to be enlightened, we have news here at City of Alps that the said Mafia is the most..." But Sonya cuts him off "Cruel, heartless, merciless, and most of all deadliest organization at City B." Troy, Kristoff, Yumi, and Butler Philip stared at Sonya. Dahlia laughs, as she gestured Rdy to explain to them everything about the Black Shadow, how and why is it organized, and their missions. Rdy didn't forget to include the names of the 10 outstanding pioneer members of Black Shadow.
Troy, Kristoff, and Yumi were all dumbstruck; Butler Philip was surprised especially when Rdy told them that the little miss of the Salvatore's is one of the deadliest and heartless well-known people at City B. She was the one who you can't offend if you don't have a death wish.
"You mean, you have worked so much just to prove to your parents and Clarence that you can do anything and everything without their help?" Troy asks Dahlia in an irritated tone. Dahlia looks at him and smiled, "I just don't want the people at City B to treat me as VIP, I want to live as a low key person there Troy. I don't want people to treat me as the high and mighty person who has so many friends but in the end, those people are just using you because of your power and status but in the end, they will bite or stab you" Dahlia explained.
"Okay, we understand about you being a Billionaire because of the talents you have in handling businesses, but Dahlia...a MAFIA BOSS? And where did you get money for your businesses? And you considered as one of the deadliest people at City B!" Yumi told everyone in a shock. "I don't want to see that anyone will be bullied or get bullied by those rich and in power people" Dahlia explained.
Dahlia: "And to answer your other questions... The allowances and other monetary means that Clarence and my parents sent to me for 10 years, I didn't use it; the money that they sent to me...I never used it because I work as a part-time bartender in one of the oldest bars at City B. Then the money that they've sent, I invested it in some small businesses that become a huge business today. Some of it, I invested in the stock markets, and some in the black markets. Then I put up the first business that I employ the first 5 sub-bosses of Black Shadow, it is named Angel's Bakeshop and Cafe. Until I have the five businesses in different fields I let the 5 sub-bosses manage it, I didn't appear to the City B as the owner of those establishments because up to now I am still working as a bartender at the bar which is I am now the owner."
Troy: "Little Dahlia...I just want to know and I hope you will answer me truthfully. Are you in relationships right now? I mean, do you have someone in your heart?" Dahlia smiled and gave him an amused look, then she looks at her friend for they all laugh and the three best friends of her brother gave a puzzled look at them.
Charles: "No one dared to pursue Boss D at City B. She is cold and has a stone heart."
Sonya: "But there are two men who dared to pursue her and until now they are both compete for Boss D's heart and attention."
Rdy: "But still, Boss D is busy in her businesses and she has no time for them. Especially when it comes to love, every time she receives gifts from her suitors it's either she gives it to charities, in an auction, or to someone else."
Troy was still silent and not reacting to the information's that he had just heard, "Troy is having this BIG BROTHER SYNDROME Dahlia, I hope you understand him. Clarence always reminds him...us to take care of you if ever there is going to happen to him and your parents" Kristoff informed her.
Yumi: "But I think it is the other way around Kristoff, Little Dahlia is the one who will take care of us. As we can all see, she is very different now from the Little Dahlia we all knew 10 years ago."
Dahlia: "I'm still the same big sister Yumi, the only thing that has changed was I am richer than Big Brother Clarence, and I have my Mafia."
Troy: "But still, the three of us especially me and Kristoff will take care of you. No matter what happens you still have to call us if you need help."
Dahlia smiled but she nods her head. She knew that among her brothers' best friends, Troy was the closest to her and he treats her like his own sister for he had only two brothers. Kristoff and Yumi on the other hand were the only children of their own families, although Yumi treats her also as her younger sister for she always dolls her up when she was still young.
"So the Little Dahlia that we know is the famous Mafia Boss at City B?" Troy asks them, Dahlia and 3 of her friends nod their heads. "You are the Mafia Boss who is ruthless, cruel, heartless, and merciless to those people whom we heard from the news?" Yumi also asks and with the same gesture they have given to Troy they nod their head again. "The Mafia Boss is a Billionaire...and she is you, Little Dahlia. And you are way richer than the 5 heirs of City Alps?" Kristoff speaks out. Dahlia and her friends nod again and laughs, but Troy knew that even though Dahlia is laughing she is still lonely....she has a lonely soul because of the past. Troy's eyes suddenly gaze upon Butler Philip who was still silently observing Dahlia, Butler Philip's son has become Dahlia's ultimate reason why she left their country.
Butler Philip who is very silent from the time Dahlia speaks up about her condition at City B felt happy and yet sad to his Little Miss. "If only Matthew didn't die in that car accident...maybe little miss will not be turned into an ice queen. If only my son have justice at that time little miss will not leave the City of Alps" Butler Philip said to himself.
"Big brother Troy, I need your help with the Elites Bar. Could we close it for a month? I mean we need some renovations, and since we are not signing any contracts with Spirits Distillery, we will be needing wine cellars for I will have my people bring the products of L&L Distillery here. We will also have to employ some of my people at all the businesses that we still have. We will start at the Elites bar after that we will have the others" Dahlia informed Troy.
Dahlia: "Don't worry about the old employees, they are still going to work with us. They will be paid accordingly while we stop our operations starting Monday. Sonya and you will work hand in hand, while Big brother Kristoff and Big sister Yumi will work with Charles here at the estate. I am planning to buy some stocks at the hospital where the two of you work so that I can become one of the deciding body there."
Troy: "What if the Yeo's ask for a meeting or for an explanation on why we are not continuing our contract with them?"
Dahlia: "Just tell them I don't like them. If they ask on how and why L&L, just tell them that the owner of L&L likes to work with the heiress of the Salvatore's. Don't worry Sonya will accompany you if the Yeo's and the other families will approach you? Rdy and Timothy will also accompany you when it comes to other businesses. Zoey will accompany me with being a bartender at Elites. After the other Black Shadow has arrive here next week we will have other plans for the other businesses."
Troy, Kristoff, and Yumi together with Butler Philip were just looking at her, "Do you still sleep, Dahlia? Why is it that I have this feeling that once you work on something, you will not stop until you get it on your hands?" Kristoff ask her. Sonya, Rdy, and Charles nod their head, "You are correct Sir, and Boss D never sleeps nor take a break if the mission is not yet successful. That's why we also scold her but she still wins in the arguments" the voice of Zoey was heard. Zoey and Timothy just walk in to join the meeting. "DAHLIA LOUISE CHOI SALVATORE!!!" Troy and Kristoff's voice was heard after Zoey speaks up. "You Young Lady will take a break until Friday. No but's! No, What If's! No more reasons!" Troy Alvarez scolded her but she knew that Troy is containing his laughter and she also knew that the way they scolded her is because they are concerned about her well-being. Dahlia nod her head as she pouts her lips for she really can't reason out.
Sonya: "Finally! Boss D will listen to the three new Boss."
