Marcelo, seated beside her, seemed untroubled, his eyes occasionally drifting towards his wristwatch. His indifference only heightened Georgina's unease, leaving her to glance nervously out of the SUV's window, searching for any hint of what might be happening within the enigmatic warehouse.

The minutes stretched in a nerve-racking silence, each tick of the second hand amplifying her anxiety. A cold sweat clung to her forehead, and the darkness outside felt increasingly claustrophobic. It was the calm before the storm, and she couldn't predict what tempest lay on the horizon.

    The journey in the SUV was shrouded in a thick silence. Georgina's thoughts raced, mingling with the nervousness she felt. The only sound in the vehicle was the hum of the engine. She watched the world outside pass by, each passing second making her anticipation build. She had little idea what awaited her, and that uncertainty clawed at her like a relentless predator.As the vehicle moved through the lit streets, Georgina sensed a subtle shift in the atmosphere. Antonio, sitting beside her in the backseat, shifted slightly, his hand moving into his pocket. With a discreet motion, he produced a small device and handed it to her.

    Antonio told Georgina. He said to her, “The listening devices I gave you are what you will place on each men on that list you are holding without their knowledge”. Referring to Marcelo, Antonio continued. “The boss wants to listen to their conversations and be steps ahead”. Georgina was a bit confused, as her mind briefly shifted to how she was going to place the devices on the men without their knowledge. Georgina looked at the list again, and saw they were five names on it. She knew she didn’t have a choice and she had to get it done if she was to spend time with Sofia even if placing the listening devices on five men without their knowledge was an intricate dance on the precipice of danger.

That’s a good place to start”. Georgina was a bit confused as she replied, “Start what?”. Antonio replied, “The conversation of course, or do you have any other thing in mind?”.

"Well, I've been drinking then just came to appreciate the art just like you, but it seems I must have missed you earlier."With a fake blush gracing her cheeks, Georgina quickly provided an explanation. "I excused myself to visit the restroom and took a brief detour to admire this artwork. Time got away from me."Mr. Giovanni's understanding smile was disarming. "No need to worry.
