RUTHLESS ASSASSIN [BOOK III]

Chapter 2: When an Assassin Jealous

YUYAN

NAPAPAHILOT na lang ako sa sintido ko habang nakatingin kay Makoto na nasa screen ng laptop ko. We were talking about what he said earlier. A undetailed mission.

"You're giving me a mission without concrete details, Makoto?" Naguguluhang tanong ko at isinandal ang katawan sa upuan.

Tumango ito. "Because we don't know who is it. If it's a organization or something. I'm just basing what our witness said." Anito.

Dahil sa sinabi niya ay mas lalo akong naguluhan. "How could I start that mission, kung hindi ko alam kung saan mag-uumpisa? She was talking about the suddenly abduction of three girls, na hindi ko alam kung maniniwala ako ba ako o hindi?" Tanong ko. "Maraming posibleng mangyari sa tatlong babaeng iyon, Makoto. I can't just move without any evidence." Dagdag ko.

Napabuga siya ng malalim. "Okay, huwag mo munang sisimulan. Mangangalap pa kami ng impormasyon." Pagsuko niya.

Napapikit na lang ako at huminga ng malalim. "Call me if there's any progress." Sambit ko bago siya tignan sa mata. "And about the witness, keep her." Dagdag ko.

Tumango siya. "Just say hello to the three for me." Aniya.

Tumango na lang ako bilang sagot at pinatay na laptop. Kasabay ng pagbukas ng pinto ng opisina ko. Gunner entered holding a cup of coffee. He walked towards me and place it on the table as he sitted on the visitors chair and read some magazine. Alam kong kahit hindi siya magsalita, he want to ask about it.

"Makoto's giving me a mission without any concrete details." Panimula ko na umagaw sa atensyon niya. "Ang gusto niyang gawin ko ay hanapin kung grupo ba ito o hindi." Pagpapatuloy ko.

Tumayo siya at naglakad palapit sa akin. Ipinatong lang niya ang kamay sa balikat ko. Kaya napatingala ako sa kaniya.

"Then you have to wait." Anito.

Ngumiti na lang ako sa kaniya, nang mapansin ko ang suot niya. Napataas ang kilay ko at nalipat ang tingin sa kaniyang mukha. "May lakad ka?" Tanong ko.

It was Sunday at ang alam ko ay wala siyang pupuntahan ngayon dahil its family day for us.

Tumango naman siya. "Yung business partner ng boss ko ay darating ngayon. He wants me to take care of her for the mean time, habang nasa business trip siya." Anito ko.

Napapikit na lang ako sa inis na mukhang napansin niya dahil bigla na lang humigpit ang hawak niya sa balikat ko.

"Hey, it's okay." Anito. "Its just business. Nothing to be jealous." Dagdag niya.

I shooked my head. "I just don't want someone is bossing you around. Why don't you just quit in that job?" Tanong ko at tinignan siya. "You're a high-paid engineer hence you choose to be some office secretary?" I added and suddenly snorted.

Yes. He choose to be an office secretary at Sandoval Group that running some hotel and restaurants here, who supposed to be my business partner but I rejected them. I can't help myself to think that they were using my husband as a revenge for not allowing them on my business. And it pissing me off.

"And about the jealous thingy, I'm not jealous okay?" Pagtatama ko.

Inikot niya ang swivel chair ko paharap sa kaniya at nag-skwat sa harapan ko. Pagkuwan ay hinawakan ng mahigpit ang dalawa kong kamay.

"Because I want to provide our family needs with money na pinaghirapan ko. If I was a high-paid engineer, money comes easily." He explained.
