He would Not Let Her Creep Into His Heart

It was the night of the annual charity ball and while the others were getting ready, a certain mafioso was eager to make his appearance. 

"Boss," Philip, his second in command, called out, his brows creased in confusion, "Are you really going to do this?" 

Anderson in question tugged his tie and checked himself out in the mirror, pretending not to have heard the question, "I'm quite handsome, aren't I?" 

Philip pressed his lips together knowing that was not the answer to his question, however, he was not the one to press for answers knowing how short-tempered his boss was. 

Hence it came as a surprise to him when Anderson answered, "Give me one reason why I shouldn't attend the ball. Don't you think it's high time the both of us met already?"

With the use of the word "both of us", Philip could already tell who he was talking about. 

"Of course," He said, "You're free to meet anyone you want to."
