Wait Mr. Lanky

Lanky (Black Wolf) noticed that Maverick was staring at him, and he turned to face the young man, a suspicious look on his face. His eyes scrutinized the young man's outfit, and on seeing that he was a bartender, he sighed in relief and turned back to face the people he was talking to.

“Are you going to get to work or not?” Ben's husky voice thundered at Maverick, and he snapped out of his thoughts.

“Of course, sure. I got this,” Maverick stuttered, unsure of what to say, and quickly took an empty tray from the nearby table. He decided to put away his nervousness, and he took his first step forward, accompanied by Ben.

“My big men, I would like to introduce you to my new bartender, Maverick, please give him a chance, and he will take good care of you, and all your needs….” Ben said, dragging his voice, a cunning grin on his face, and the men in the VIP section turned to look at Maverick.

Some had a questioning gaze, while some were curious to know what an innocent and handsome young man like him was doing by working in a bar.

Maverick stood still, he wanted to look at the men, but his nervousness got the better side of him, and he found himself staring at the floor, his hands folded.

“What are you doing? Go and seduce or do whatever you can to get on their good sides! I have done my part by introducing you. Note, if Mr. Lanky or his wealthy friends don't buy my most expensive wine, it's bye-bye for you,” Ben's menacing voice slowly echoed in Maverick's eyes.

'Seduce, what the fuck?’ Maverick's mind cried out, and he wanted to ask Ben for assistance, but Ben left the room hastily, leaving him all by himself.

The men's attention was back to what they were doing before, and no one paid Maverick a glance, making him anxious. He didn't know who to approach first, nonetheless, he walked towards Lanky.

Lanky had noticed him as he was coming, and he smirked mischievous. “Please excuse me, ladies,” he informed the women who were trying so hard to seduce him, and reluctantly, they stood up and left.

Maverick felt the lady's sudden disappearance was suspicious, and he turned back to leave, that was when he bumped into Ashley, and they were both surprised to see each other; their mouths widened in awe.

“Oh, my road director!” Maverick exclaimed and covered his mouth in surprise. They both stood very close to each other, their heads nearly touching.

Maverick had never been this close to a hot man, and he could feel Ashley’s chilling breath on him. He gasped for breath, and the both of them stared at each other, starstruck.

“I didn't know you were a bartender, I thought you were an investor. Wow, it's so nice to see you again,” Ashley said with a polite voice, not sounding rude or proud.

Maverick wanted to tell him that he was a young master and he had fortunes in his man, but he knew Ashley would just laugh at him, praising him for dreaming big. Moreover, Ashley spoke respectfully to him, it would be rude and embarrassing to boast in front of the friend of a multi-trillionaire.

“You are so nice with your words, a bartender like myself doesn't deserve to talk to a big man like you,” Maverick sounded so down, and his eyes dropped. It was part of his plan, he planned to beg Ashley to convince Lanky to buy an expensive wine.

“Oh, don't say that, everyone is important. Also, I am nice to literally anyone, I have no enemies,” Ashley replied with a genuine smile on his face, and he put his hands inside his pocket.

Maverick nodded in response, and he kept nodding his head, wondering how he was going to start the conversation with Ashley.

Ashley on the other hand looked very patient, on seeing how nervous Maverick was, he offered him a smile and turned to leave, thinking his presence was frightening the man, but Maverick held him back, his hands grabbing Ashley's muscular arms. This surprised both men, and once again they were lost in each other's eyes.

“Oh my gosh! He is so hot if only he wasn't a suspect, I would have asked for a one-night stand,” Maverick thought, his eyes secretly scrutinizing Ashley.

Ashley knew the man in front of him was checking his body out, but he didn't mind, overtime he had gotten used to the attention his hot body brought him.

But their moment was interrupted by a husky man's appearance. Maverick turned to look at the man who interrupted his ogling moment and as soon as his eyes met Lanky, he stopped breathing. Lanky's smile was gentle, and his striking features left Maverick in awe.

Lanky's hair was raven-black, and his eyes were as red as red wine. His nose was straight, and his lips, oh my, those lips were like temptation incarnate. He didn't button his shirt, and one could notice his well-defined chest and eight-pack abs.

Maverick found himself drooling at Lanky's chest.

“Let us go, Ashley, I have a meeting to attend in a few hours,” Lanky cleared his throat, trying to distract the young man drooling over him.

A ghostly smile appeared on Ashley's face, and he smiled broadly at Maverick. “I have to go now, but I am sure we'll meet later,” he informed Maverick, who dreamily nodded his head.

Ashley's smile vanished immediately he turned his face away from Maverick and he signaled to his men who were dressed in black suits, they all stood up, ready to leave. Lanky had an unreadable expression on his face, and he looked ruthless and charming at the same time.

Ben stood beside his office window, watching the men as they left, a deep frown was on his face, and he looked very angry and disappointed at Maverick.

As Ashley, Lanky and his men were about to open the exit VIP door, Maverick remembered Ben's words, and his body turned cold.

“Please wait, Mr. Lanky, I have something to tell you,” Maverick stuttered before they could leave the room, and all eyes were on him.
