The Prodigal Thug Lord

Chapter Four

Ace's POV

I took her to my office in the back of the restaurant. This interview wasn't really necessary because Zee already told me she wasn't really talkative, she has an sassy ass attitude but she is cool. I really just wanted to talk to her and get to know her. I sat down in my black leather chair while she stood next to the chairs in front of the desk awkwardly.

May I say shawty was fine as hell. I could tell she got an ass under those baggy cargos. She was beautiful and I don't used words like 'beautiful and gorgeous' they are relationship like terms.

"You can sit down you know, I won't bite" I said calmly. She nodded and sat down getting comfortable in the chair.

"Before we get started why do you want this job?" I asked

"Well I have bills to pay and I don't think they will pay themselves. Also, I don't like depending on others" She said softly. Independent.

"You live alone?" I asked raising an eyebrow

"No I live with me mother but it is what it is" She said shrugging. I could tell there is something else behind that but I didn't push it.

"Where did you work before here?" I asked

"I worked at a café but I was laid off almost a month ago" she said

"Alright, so what are the hours you're willing to work?" I asked as I took out a employee's form for here to fill out.

"I can start as soon as I leave school in the afternoon and I am willing to work in Saturdays and Sundays" she said. I nodded slowly

"So what position are you applying for?" I asked

"Waitress is fine" She muttered.

"Jayla, there's no need for you to be nervous. I know I don't look scary at the moment. Do you find me attractive?" I asked smirking

"Yes... I mean no. you... I just find you intimidating" She said biting her lip nervously. I chuckled

"So I'm not attractive?" I asked faking a hurt expression

"You are I just...you.." I cut her off laughing

"I am just playing. Call me cocky but I know I'm attractive no need to stutter beautiful, I am just trying to lighten the mood. Let's get to know each other" I said

"Okay" she said

"I'll go first" I started

"Sure, go ahead" She said to me

"My name is Ace Diaz, I'm 23 years old. I am a young successful business man. My work is my life. According to me, I'm jovial, trustworthy, blunt and brutally honest. I hate being lied to and betrayed." I said. I can't exactly say Ma, I'm the biggest Drug Lord in Miami and I kill criminals for a living.

"Okay, I'm Jayla Miles. I am 17 years old and I turn 18 February coming. I live with my mother. I was supposed to be born a twin, my sister died before she was even born. My dad used say everything happens for a reason and I'm his miracle child" she said smiling

"Well then three years ago my parents and I were in Trinidad visiting my grandparents. Everything was going amazing until a police officer showed up on the doorstep telling us my dad had an accident and he didn't make it. I moved here after the funeral and I met Zee and Mya" she added. Her eyes were watery must be the effect after talking about her father. I refuse the urge to hug her and tell her everything would be fine.

"I'm sorry for your lost" I said sincerely

"It's fine, so do you have kids or a girlfriend?" She asked hesitantly. I chuckled then eyed her for a moment.

"I have a daughter she's 2 and a girlfriend our 3 year anniversary coming up and I am thinking of proposing " I lied. A flash of hurt crossed her eyes but then she smiled. Jealously maybe?

"That's amazing congratulations" she said smiling stiffly

"I'm joking" I said laughing "I'm as single as they come. Didn't you hear me say my work is my life?" I asked

"I did" she said "So do I have the job?" She asked. Determine. I nodded

"Yes you do, I just need you to sign this form fill in your name and address and the necessary" I said handing here the form.

I finger grazed her skin and I felt a little electric feeling shoot through my hand, I guess she felt it too because she quickly pulled away. While she filled the form out my business phone 'Knight's phone' pinged. I got another job. I texted back the client right away.

Unknown: Good day is this Mr Knight?

Knight: It's just Knight, how may I help you?

Unknown: My name is Brett Phoenix, CEO of Phoenix industries. I got a job for you, Can we meet?

Knight: Sure. I'll meet you at the roof of the building at midnight.

"All done" Jayla said handling me the form. I read over it and saw Her full name and her phone number. This should be interesting.

"Why Jayla and Mikayla?" I asked

"Mikayla was going to be my sister's name and my dad gave me instead" She said

"Aiite, so do you speak Spanish?" I asked

"Why do you ask?" She asked

"Well you have some latina s**t going on. You're slim, round ass and you a have extremely cute face with a head of thick curly hair. You're mixed with Caribbean, that's a whole package mama you feel me" I said licking my lips

"I don't speak Spanish" she said. I know she lying.

"Really? So if I say something in Spanish you won't understand?" I asked raising a brow. she shook her head no

"Tu trasero se ve bien con esos pantalones holgados" I said smirking. Her eyes went widen and her cheeks flushed.

English translation (Your ass look fine in those baggy pants)

"And here I thought you didn't understand" I said chuckling "So what you mixed with ma?" I asked

"Mexican, you?" She asked still blushing

"Puerto Rican" I said licking my lips

"That explains it" She muttered.

"So since I have your number now, I can text you the details of your schedule" I said. she nodded looking me.Then the office door knocked. I told whoever it was to come in. Jax walked in giving me a cheesy smile.

"I hate to interrupt the Jace moment but we need to 'go' Ace" Jax said grinning. I know what he meant when he said go but who the hell is Jace?

"Who the f**k is Jace?" I asked confused

"Jayla and Ace equals Jace" He said slowly like I'm a toddler." I ship you guys" he added smirking at me. I burst out laughing at his stupidness. Jayla blushed and stood up

"Well I guess that's our cue, Jayla I'll see you Thursday evening" I said to her smiling

"Okay, Nice to meet Jax" she said smiling

"Same here Jay" Jax said seductively then winked at her. I glared at him. She cast one last smile as she walked out the door. As soon as she was out of sight. Jax turned to me grinning, that evil grin.

"Who do we have to kill?" I asked

"2 workers were caught stealing your s**t, Lars caught them and they are both in the basement" He said. He pulled his glock out and smiled at it.

And they say I'm heartless. I got up off my chair and head out the restaurant closing up. Roc and Dice were already gone along with Jayla and Zee. I wonder what Jayla would think if she found out what I do besides run a few business places. I got in my range and Jax came around the other side.

"These motherfuckers never learn" I said through gritted teeth. After about 15 minutes I pulled up to the trap and parked behind the building. I didn't my signature knock and Hulk one of the guards opened the door.

"Boss" he said and I nodded at him and Jax and I made our way down to the basement. I was greeted with 2 dudes bleeding from their mouth and nose and a naked hoe that worked in the kitchen.

"So y'all just wanna steal from me huh?" I asked and I walked over to the tables my tools were on. This is going to be fun.
