Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 178
1 look up, my mouth still open, to see Kent standing there, sliding a plate in front
of Daniel as well. I look him over, noting the chef's apron tied tight around his
slim waist, his clean-shaven cheeks below eyes with dark circles beneath them.
Apparently, he got less sleep than I did last night.
I cock my head, curious about that.
“Daniel,” Kent says, his voice even but unfriendly. “Don’t you
have class to attend?”
Daniel just crosses his arms, glaring at his dad and not
responding. But Kent doesn't rise to the bait. Instead, he turns to
1. me.
“Fay, I'd like you to go to lunch today at your father's house.”
“Really?” I ask, my eyebrows raising.
Kent nods. “Yes, I need you to feel out the situation. Word has gotten out about
the end to your engagement to Daniel,”
he continues, looking briefly at Daniel to include him in the
conversation, “and that you've been spending time with Ivan. I'd like you to see
how your father feels about this change. And report
it back to me.”

I nod, agreeing but hesitant.

“What,” Kent demands, his words clipped. “You don’t want to do
it?”
“Oh,” I say, surprised. “Um, no, I'll do it...it's just...one of the less pleasant tasks
that I've been assigned.”
Kent does an almost double take at these words, looking suddenly into my eyes
with surprise on his face. I cock my head to see it — I'm not sure I've ever seen
Kent truly surprised before. But then I consider the meaning of my last words and
realize that, of course, our encounter on the third floor last night was an
assignment of sorts. And that I've just implied that lunch with my
dad will be worse...
1 blush, and curse myself again for my stupid tendency to do that
all the time. Not only do I look like an idiot, blushing all the time, I
also wear my emotions right on my sleeve.
“No,” I blurt out, shaking my head and looking down at my
breakfast, “Il mean, it's fine. I'll do it. It won't be so bad.”
“Not every assignment is going to be a date with a sexy tattooed
blonde, Fay,” Kent insists and I look back up at him in shock. Was
he...did he just tease me? Did he just...
“Did you just...call lvan? Your enemy? A sexy tattooed blonde?”
Kent just smirks at me and laughs a little, turning away. “Your car

will be ready at eleven, Fay. Jerome will drive you. Don't make me regret
assigning him to you this time.”
I say nothing as Kent walks away, just staring after him, wondering how he does
this. Balances it all, lives a life of such extremes with such complete control. Hell,
I get one knot in my plans and go to pieces, but Kent...
“Wait,” Daniel says, leaning forward and interrupting my train of thought. “Did you
go out on another date with Ivan? When?"
“Um,” I say lightly, picking up my fork and poking at my eggs.
“Last night?”
“What!?"
1 sigh, looking evenly at Daniel. “Seriously, Daniel, if you want to be a part of this
then you should pay more attention. You're like, the last person in this house to
be aware of that.” Frustrated, I start to shovel food into my mouth. Seriously, if
he’s so into being my fake fiancé, you'd think he'd start to pay a bit more
attention to

“So,” Daniel says, leaning forward and giving me a big smile.
