Isaac, Jacob’s oldest brother, was the one to answer the door when it rang, finding Helene, Gigi, Adiadne, and Evan. He grinned and led them into the house and directly towards the dinning room, where the entire Patrone family, except the mother and eldest sister, sat waiting patiently for their guests. The table was set with silverware, dishes, glasses, all of the works. [b]“Welcome, to the Patrone Estate. Please, take a seat with us.”[/b] His eyes looked at some of the papers that were distributed in everyone’s hands and he put up his own hand. [b]“You can put those away for now. We can discuss business after dinner.”[/b] Terrance stood up when Helene walked in, shooting her a quick smile, and his eyes gazing up and down her body. She looked absolutely stunning, and it enthralled Terrance’s attention. She was so beautiful, but he had to control his urges for now, as they were in a professional setting.

One by one, several dishes of meats, pastas, vegetables were brought out and filled on the table. [b]“Help yourselves to everything. We hope not to just build an alliance, but build a friendship between our families.”[/b] Jacob, who was still feeling like he hadn’t eaten in days, instantly began filling his own plate with food. Terrance had to kick his friend under the table a few times to get him to calm down, as it would attract too much attention from Jacob’s father. Even Isaac seemed a bit worrisome of Jacob’s behavior. [color=khaki]“Gigi, it is wonderful to see you, and you look absolutely stunning! Are you wearing lipstick? You don’t have to wear makeup, you naturally radiate beauty.”[/color] Alexander smiled brightly at Gigi, Terrance shooting a look at his friend. Terrance felt like it was rather inappropriate behavior, and was about to say something until Mr. Patrone laughed, already having a piece of steak cut off in his mouth.

[b]“Already know one of our guests, Alexander? Then I hope you can vouch for them?”[/b] Alexander nodded his head quickly before smiling back at Gigi. Alexander didn’t honestly care much about Gigi being a wildcard, and Terrance quickly kicked Alexander under the table. It was dangerous for Alexander to vouch for Gigi. She couldn’t be trusted in the slightest, at least in Terrance’s eyes. Alexander was just saying this since he was blinded by infatuation. Speaking of infatuation, it seemed that Terrance’s attention wasn’t the only one attracted by Helene’s dress. Isaac was also eyeing the young redhead across the table. [color=lightseagreen]“Helene, tell me about yourself. Our family and work is very, personal. We’d like to get to know more about you and your family before we start talking business. Also, have you seen all of the sights of our city?”[/color] Isaac grinned in a charming way, his eyes seeming to explore Helene’s body in the same way that Terrance’s had. Terrance noticed, and felt a tinge of something in his stomach. Jealousy?

[b]“Yes, maybe I’ll have my sons escort you around, let you see our territory after we discuss things.”[/b] Mr. Patrone smiled continuing to chow down on his food. Once Jacob was satisfied with how much food he had shoveled in his mouth, he pulled out his own notebook and began to flip through it, reviewing the terms to be brought up after dinner. The first talking point was going to be Patrone employment. The Patrone family is thinking of paying the Carbone family as a more hands on bodyguard for deals. Where as the Myles’ family’s main purpose is to take out specific targets, the Patrone family needed more armed guards to protect dealers and business meetings. The Patrone family has spies, thieves, and killers. Now they just needed arm guards.

Along with this, Jacob’s father wants to mention expansion of his own. Much as the Carbone family is making their way into the states, Mr. Patrone sees great potential in spreading his own work to a more international level. If he could send his eldest son, Isaac, to France, and work under the protection of the mafia, they could establish a broader, international drug trade. Jacob made a few notes on his paperwork, taking a few quick breaths. He wasn’t too nervous. From the summer time and even the past week, Jacob felt that, relationship wise, Helene would be more than willing to work with their families. But they had to still be careful not to reveal too much about what Arthur, Alex, and Terrance’s families did. As they were all significantly different in their work. But perhaps with time they would discuss more dealings between each individual family.

Mr. Patrone had finished his food, his eyes scanning between the Carbone siblings sitting in front of him. He sat up a bit straighter, took a large drink of his water, and began to look more serious. [b]“I have a lot to discuss, but to begin- What does the Carbone family hope to gain from working with the Patrone family? And what are you planning to offer for us?”[/b] He leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers together and listening intently.

Wow, Eva was amazingly talented. And when everyone began to applaud, Arthur was sure to clap louder than the rest, his claps practically echoing off the wall like lightning. He felt so proud and happy for Eva. She performed magnificently, and Arthur really recognized the talent. His eyes scanned the crowds for a few judges who were making notes after her performance when something clicked in Arthur. Was this what she wanted to do with her life? Be a professional violinist? Where as Arthur was fully prepared to take on his own family business in the future. The future. How long was he going to have to keep his secret from her? Arthur felt guilt welling up in him, having to think of lying to Eva for so long. She didn’t deserve that. He wanted to always tell her the truth about everything. But would she stay by his side if she knew what a monster he was? Would she not be able to follow her heart and dreams if he held her back from performing?

He didn’t have much more time to ponder, as the performers began to come from back stage and visit their families, Arthur moved through the crowd looking for Eva. Since he significantly taller than so many, it was very easy for him to spot Eva in the crowd. He began to approach her when he saw two other adults standing by her. One of which he very quickly recognized. Evelyn. He felt his blood boil slightly in his veins, and his body tense up. He had to restrain himself from slapping the old hag for the way she had treated Eva before. For kicking her out of their home, her own child! 

[color=dodgerblue]“You were amazing, Eva.”[/color] Arthur nodded to Eva, the corner of his lips turning up very slightly. He held out the bouquet towards Eva, though Evenlyn seemed to turn her nose up at the gesture. Arthur had to restrain himself from shooting her an ugly look. He placed one hand on Eva’s back, pulling her close to his side. His natural, stoic face glanced over the two adults, his eyes bouncing back and forth between them, assessing their faces, stature, absorbing what information he could. At least he could claim to his father later that he did some surveillance of his target, Evelyn Esperaza.
