Jovani excused himself before anything even started. Alonso had co back and they needed to talk.
The right-hand man didn't seem as though he were in a very good mood.
"You handled everything, didn't you? I don't see what the problem is then." Jovani chose to talk to the other outside.
"The problem is that that isn't how things were supposed to go." Alonso ran a hand through his hair in a rather agitated manner.
"Do you even understand what it ans for to have gone about hitting him? Isn't not good." Jovani couldn't refrain from laughing at his friend.
"I don't think it's as bad as you think. If anything, you've gotten more respect from them. They could useful in the future." The other shut that down the mont it ca out of his boss's mouth.
"Absolutely not. I don't want anything to do with them after this. I already told you once before that I'm done with that side of things." Alonso folded his arms over his chest.
"Co now, don't be such a stick in the mud. Things are going to be really good at this rate. Don't ss it up with such a fussy attitude." Jovani patted the other on the shoulder.
"Besides, I only said you didn't have to deal with one person again. The people around him aren't the sa. Plus, isn't it nice to know that you can still command that level of respect.
"..." That was besides the point.
"We can talk about it later. It's not like I'm going to ask you to bring them all over here with you." Though, the extra hands wouldn't go amiss.
"We're taking it one step at a ti right now. You getting what we needed and coming back safely is what was most important."
Jovani shifted attention to Alonso's car taking note for the first ti that it was idling.
"I ca to get permission to clean myself up before coming back." The right-hand man explained.
"I've not yet had a chance to do that with everything that has been going on."
"Oh. You didn't have to co all the way here to ask that. You should know that the answer would've been yes." Hadn't they worked long enough in difficult situations for the other to know better?
"There are other reasons that I wanted to co back and speak with you. It seems right now isn't a good ti though."
"Isn't a good ti? We're talking right now, aren't we?" Jovani indicted between the two of them.
"I don't think that it is a conversation to take place right here." Alonso clarified.
"Things that you don't want others hearing about? Then, no. Not right now. We can talk when you get back though."
"I would much rather if you would just co with now so that we can get this taken care of." Alonso insisted.
"You know that there are a lot of things that I am willing to do for you as my boss. So of them such as what's going on right now push the line even for . So if you would please be willing to get into the car so that we can talk about this." The right-hand man even opened the car door to show insistent he was upon them talking.
"Alonso, this really isn't sothing that can take place right now. With the information that you brought; we need to get so things in to order right now." Jovani sighed.
"I know that you feel like you're being put through a lot right now. It will only be for a little longer until everything that's being sorted is taken care of." Despite the assurance, the right-hand man didn't seem any less tense.
It really wasn't the place to be having any kind of serious conversation. Too many people were coming and going even in the hospital parking lot that it made Alonso's skin crawl.
He'd spent far too much ti around people in the last few days.
"Just do a favor for the ti being. Head back to get yourself taken care of and we will talk about this later. Depending on how things go today, I think that this is sothing Lena should be involved in as well."
"Why do you think that I'm stressed about wanting to talk with you about this in the first place? I think that there are so things we need to talk about before then." Alonso groaned. Why the usually sharp, on top of thing boss being so dense at the exact mont when he needed him to not to be? Whatever the reason, it was giving Alonso a pounding headache.
Between exhaustion and stress, the urge to laugh at the pressing situation was beginning to get stronger.
"Is it really that bad? I don't generally see you in such a state." Jovani's head cocked to the side as he observed his right-hand man. He did look rather worse for wear. Stress often did that to his reliable friend. Though, never at quite this level.
"Really what makes you think it is that bad? My face or the fact that I'm almost on the verge of tossing you into the car and forcing you to co with ." Alonso did his best to not take on a fully disrespectful tone with the other.
"Well. Whatever is going on, it really is going to have to wait for the ti being. This is more pressing at the current mont. Unless whatever you need involves life and death, leave it. You need to go rest and clean up." The Vedova Nera boss decided to put his foot down after weighing things out.
"There are too many people here to talk, you're right. You're also not in any kind of state to have this conversation. I also have a little devil waiting back in the hospital for . If this takes much longer and I don't have answers to give, we're both going to be in trouble." Trouble might've been an understatent despite being true.
"If that's your final word on the matter, I will do as you request. I will make it clear at this point though I'm very thrilled about being sent away before we can have proper conversation." Alonso closed the car door rather firmly.
"I do want to set aside so ti tonight to go over everything. No putting this off like other things that you don't want to deal with." Jovani let out a gasp, giving the other a rather wounded look.
" putting things off I don't like? I thought that you always said before I didn't know how to let things be. I worked too much in order to deal with all the thing I don't like. You should be happy that for once, I'm letting sothing go."
"We both know that when you deal with things you don't like, they're only the ones you're comfortable dealing with. The rest of matters I almost always have to pull teeth to get you to take care of them." The other deadpanned.
"That I would say is a tiny bit of an exaggeration." Jovani indicated how small of one by pinching his thumb and index fingers together. Based on that, it was very tiny exaggeration to the Vedova Nera Boss.
"Seriously though, you really need to be heading off to take care of yourself. We will co back later to have this conversation." As though the universe agreed with what Jovani said, his phone pinged indicated that the princess had ssaged him.
"Just as along as you understand that I will be coming back tonight so that we can finish this conversation." Jovani shot the right-hand man a thumbs up before turning his back on the other. Too busy with his phone to really care what the other said or properly respond.
Alonso watched him walk away for a mont before turning back to the car. Letting out a deep sigh, he ran his hand through his hair once more.
He really wasn't happy about leaving things at this point. Certainly, he'd been more than able to take care of himself when dealing with the rcenaries. By so magic, he'd even been able to get away without any injuries.
That wasn't exactly a good thing though. Hitting his forr friend had so kind of odd effect on the n in that room.
Good once of respect and loyalty as Jovani might've called it didn't quite seem to fit what took place. It felt like sothing more than that to Alonso.
Sothing he didn't want to have to deal with after turning his back on that world for so many years.
"You better keep your promise about us talking about this. If not, I might actually go through with my threat to smack you this ti." Alonso glared at the hospital for a mont before turning to get into the car.
He would go get cleaned up, eat, and maybe sleep for a little but still make it back in ti before night fall.
This conversation would be happening that night one way or another. Even if Jovani didn't care to make it a priority.
