"Noah and Liam are on standby, I already instructed my men to silently follow him and I think Ericka did that too." sabi ni Dimitri.
Tahimik niyang nilinis ang kakatahi lang na tiyan ko at pinalitan ng dressing.
"Engage na pala si Ericka?" bigla kong tanong dahil sumagi na naman sa isip ko yung pagbabangayan ni Ericka at Kobi kanina.
"That's what I knew." sagot niya habang nililigpit ang mga gamit.
"Alam mo kung kanino?"
"No, I don't but yes, the whole organization knew that she's on a long overdue engagement. She's engage once, to a man she doesn't knew but I think Kobi is referring to a different person." sagot niya kaya naman natahimik ako.
"Are you alright?" tanong niya habang sinusuri ako.
"Yes,"
"Then why do you look sad?" he asked then he cupped my face.
"I just realized that I didn't knew her that much. I mean... we've been friends for years and yet she doesn't share a single thing about her. I just know that she's living a luxurious life. That she inherit all what Mr. Tanaka left. That's all."
"Well, maybe it's because she doesn't want to think about that. Seeing her right now, I guess she doesn't mind about the engagement." sabi naman si Dimitri.
He kissed my forehead and said, "We should be worrying about what Romeo will do." then he looked at his phone. "My men told me he's on his way to your mansion."
"So, he's really a traitor?" sabi ko.
I can't believe he can do this to me! I considered him as a friend! A family! Tapos isusumbong niya lang kami kay Daddy? What the hell!
I think my frustration and anger is so visible because I heard Dimitri sighed.
"I think he really is." sabi ni Dimitri sabay tayo. "I'll talk to others downstairs. You change your clothes first." sabi niya at 'saka lumabas na ng kwarto.
Nag palit naman ako ng damit at lumabas ako nang naka t-shirt na grey at high-waist maong shorts. Hindi ko na pinungos ang aking buhok kaya naman hinayaan ko lang ito.
Pagbaba ko, nakita ko silang lahat na nasa hapagkainan. Nag-uusap. Hindi ko naman nakita ang mga bata ngunit kumpleto naman sila dito.
"Sila Dahlia at Eugene?" tanong ko nang nakalapit na talaga ako sa kanila.
Agad namang pinulipot ni Dimitri ang kanyang kamayvsa aking bewang at kitang-kita ko kung paano ngumisi ang mga taong nakatingin sa amin... lalong-lalo na si Kobi.
"They're in the guest room," sagot ni Dimitri.
"Sinong kasama nila? Eh andito naman itong apat na 'to." sabi ko sabay tingin kila Mike.
"Forever yaya nalang ba kami nung dalawang bata na iyon?" reklamo ni Kobi.
"Hala kuya oh! Nag re-reklamo!" sumbong ko na parang bata.
"Ay, Achilles oh! Napapagod na ata si Kobi!" sigaw ni Kyle.
"Anak ng..." si Kobi.
"Salary deduction," simpleng sagot ni kuya.
"Hoy! Achilles ang daya naman! Bat may pa deduction ka ng sweldo?!" sigaw ni Kobi habang kami naman ay tawang-tawa sa kanya.
"So, sino nga ang kasama nung mga bata?" tanong ko.
"They are with my bodyguards." biglang sabi ni Ericka. "My personal bodyguards arrived here when you're upstairs." sabi niya nagulat naman ako nang nakita ko ang isa niyang bodyguard na nakita ko noong andoon kami sa Japan.
