"I can't swim..." Elena confessed and turned down her eyes to her lap. She bit her lower lip. Angelo squeezed his eyes. He seemed not believe his ears with what the girl just said. 'She looks tough but can't swim?' Angelo was laughing inside as he skimmed of her for a moment. "Okay." He beamed after clearing his throat. There was a shadow of pause in a short moment. "I heard this guy loves to do some outdoor activities. So, are you going to follow one of his outdoor activities?" Elena sighed. "He's going to go rowing this weekend." Angelo jiggled his head. "Tell me what you have learned about this guy, Fred Tiger--" He took a short look at Elena who seemed to be uneasy. "Hey, relax. We are going to be a team. We should support each other." Angelo tapped his fingers on the steer, his other hand reached for the car audio and he switched the music into some blues as Elena assumed. "You like it?" Elena shrugged. "I am not into music so much, but some jazz I probably listen before
“Elena kept moving. Don’t get panicked and grab something. Pull over, Elena!” She heard Angelo’s voice to give some directions. The life jacket she wearing made her floating her up from the current. Elena found her sight getting distorted. The water streams hit her face hard as she tried to emerge her head up on the surface. “There’s something entangled my left ankle!” She turned her head to Angelo and kept trying to pull her head up from the surface to get oxygen. She began blurping. Suddenly, Elena felt something was bumping her head. Hitting her hard although a helmet protected her, that bump dragged her within the water streams. She saw a big trunk passing her and she tried to grab it. The water streamed harder, bent over between the rocky river and the streams drifted her within. Elena was pushed into currents and dragged her to hit a boulder. Leaving everything looked black in her vision and she felt numb as she fainted. Angelo dived into the water and approached
Elena followed the direction that Angelo told her. It was nine o’ clock compass direction and it pointed at another young woman. “Who’s she?” Elena pulled the bridge of her glasses down from her nose. Angelo sighed. “Iréne’s right hand!” Elena bowed her eyebrows. “What’s she doing?” She hissed at Angelo. Angelo bit his finger to cover his mouth while he was speaking. “To arrange the meetings between Iréne Belle and Fred Tiger. They should avoid public’s attention on their…you know!” He sniffed. “I smell another agenda!” He obscurely looked at the blonde girl passing them with the man from the café through his side eye. Angelo asked for the waitress their bills and gave a normal amount for tips. “What’re we doing next?” Elena almost wiped off her artificial moustache but Angelo asked her not to do it. She shrugged and looked at Angelo who keeping an eye on the street. “Waiting. I want to know what’s business they are dealing with that blonde chic. You know her, don’t y
Elena sighed but her ears could catch a gasp coming out from Angelo’s lips as he pressed the button to open the door of his red sport car for her. He took a glimpse of her who checking her long white earrings where she inserted the tiny speakers into. “Selena…” he paused and called Elena with her operation name. “I’ll be around you but promise you, you won’t notice me…it’ll be easier for you to work!” He wiped his nose while his other hand was still on the steer. Elena gave him a quick nod and grabbed a silver colored leathered with some metal ornamented purse. “If everything bad happens... everything… just bump your chest area three times where Val attached the mics…” Angelo added his final instruction as Elena was ready to get off from the car. “Good luck…” he put two fingers on his forehead and swayed it as a sign of readiness for working. Elena drew a long inhale and walked into the room where the music from DJ had welcomed her. She tried to walk with a natural swaying an
Duncan heavily glanced at Elena who was walking next to him. “Are you waiting for some friends in this party?” Elena turned her head down, just a few seconds then she landed her eyes on Duncan’s face. “I am representative of a company...you know…” she paused and shrugged. “This resort is a prospective place…my company provide such kind of service, how about you?” The man curled his nose as he looked quite excited. “Good!” only that such kind of words he gave as a retort. They had returned to the room and the music had changed the rhythm. They came to the room with table serving some pastry and snacks. “So, are you waiting for some colleagues?” Elena asked him before biting a chunk of tuna cocktail sandwich with some tropical fruits. Duncan smirked and stopped eating his pastry on the plate he brought. Elena directed her eyes to the corner where Duncan was gazing at. She nearly ran out of air as her eyes caught who those people were. ‘Martinez and the young man who calle
“Honey, look who is with me?” a female voice interrupted inside the room. Elena had attached a small device, functioned as speaker on the wall, nobody heard the conversation inside the room only her since the equipment was connected to some electric devices on her earrings. The device was magnificent sophisticated in listening conversation although it was happening behind the wall, but also separated room. One of her hands was covering that device and she could grab it easily since its cost wonderfully expensive as she decided to leave the room after finishing to record those people’s conversation inside Fred Tiger’s room secretly. ‘It must be Irène…’ Elena took a sip of her drink before putting it back to the waitress’s tray. She saw people was gathering but she chose to stand around the access facility, making her easier to leave the room whenever it was urgent. Elena sighed. She heard Angelo speaking from the other side of the room through the device in her earrings. “Clear.
The car entered the road remotely reside from office hours crowded but some houses with the touches of modern family ranched neighborhood along the road welcomed them. The green grassland with spacious landscape where some horses were grassing to and running wildly gave them the air of rural modern living. The big shady trees were growing on the one side of the road. The red horizons had colored the sky as the lamp streets started lite up. Elena gazed the scenery through the car’s window. Angelo stopped the car in the front of a place with deco painting and it had spacious entrance, there were palm trees and the flowers garden. Elena entered the place with Angelo walking next to her. They saw Johnny Sly was waiting for them. He was wearing a casual outfits with a Hawaiian motif shirt. “Welcome Elena, Angelo…” Johnny rose from his seat and signed them to take a seat. They were at the open air terrace. All the furniture were painted in deco. A mid aged woman dressed in a ma
Elena rested her body on the bed and lifted the two legs upright on the bed as she was reclining. She was thinking about Martinez and everything about him. She put her fingers on the forehead to give some massages. ‘I am pretty sure that he wasn’t a vet assistant as he told me,’ Elena thought and rose from the bed. ‘Bernard, the young man who was called by Duncan Gordo, he seemed to act as Martinez’s or Edward Philippe’s personal assistant…he was holding a meeting with Fred Tiger and must be a business deal…but what is it? Why is he going to be trapped by the bad tricks of Maria Françise?’ She put the silver colored dress with half backless that wrapped her body down on the room floor and barely naked she walked towards the bathroom. She filled in the bathtub with warm water and poured the olive oil also a bubble soap with the scent of wild orchid that were prepared for her. She got into the bathtub and had uncovered her red wavy middle shaggy cut wigs off. She soaked herse
Edward looked so coming into his edge as Elena came out from the house. He exhaled, he felt some butterflies were dancing in his stomach.Granny looked at him and gave him a support as she rubbed his back warmly. Grandpa and his dad were attending and talking with Emir Drake. Curtis Falcon was there with his wife, after he spent a long haul of finding out Dante’s manipulative games that he wasn’t the father of the child his mistress had. He was glad that his wife could carry his seed eventually, though it was a long process of advance medical technology, what people called In vitro fertilization.Bernard patted his arm and whispered in his ear. “She looks pretty, Boss.”At the moment, Elena wore a floral dress with her braided hair decorated by some flowers.

Belinda looked quite shivering as she was wearing a night dress quite sheer with the black color.Edward inhaled. “Yeah.” He crossed his arms.Belinda beamed and stared at him before she leaned her on
Edward stared at Elena, they spent two hours or more in talking about the execution plan.“You said before on the phone, there will be a compensation I should pay?” He took another cracker from the table.He turned his head around and watched the back of Angelo as the man was leaving. He and Elena were sitting along the table, enjoying their drink and the scenery.Elena sighed. “Yes.” Edward put a smug grin. “What kind of compensation you want from me?”Elena sighed. “Listen, it’s gonna to help someone’s business. He got his business facing, we could say…business has been lame and he needs some investments.”Edward looked like he was curious. “Could you tell me who he is?”“He’s the person I am working with,” Elena sighed and looked into his eyes. “His name?” Edward rubbed his nose and rested his jaw in a hand.“Johnny Sly, he’s the owner of…” Elena couldn’t finish her words.“I know Johnny Sly is…” he interrupted and clenched his jaws then.They were silent…each of them
Edward approached the table. Elena and Angelo had waited for him there. It was a private location Angelo had arranged for them to talk about the plan.The place was near the mountains area and it was a villa with a wonderful background.That morning, they were sitting around a large wooden table, surrounded by shady trees as the backyard was built on a hill. The mountain breezes blew quite chilling, the sound of rustling from the leaves could be an incomparable sounds of nature. “Am I the target?” Edward pointed at himself after Elena explained what happened to him and the target of the assignment. He came at the meeting with casual outfits, t-shirt and an old pair of jeans. He smelled like nature with the scent of musk combined with citrus.Elena nodded to affirm about it. He scoffed and rested his back to lean towards the seat.“Since you are the only man Emma Smithson can count on and you will be willingly to help her. With every capacity you can give it to her…” Angelo add
Elena parked her car and came out to enter Johnny’s office. She took a glimpse of her watch, it was 09.30 in the morning.She looked at her projection as she entered the elevator. Her new haircut was amazing with some layers, she got extended hair to make it longer than it was before. She put some additional moisturizer lip balm and moved her lips to moisturize.‘She really has a good taste in fashion…’ Elena grinned as she reminded her mother, Jane Dovey.As she came out from the elevator, every eyes were staring at her and turning their heads around at her. She wore a medium skirt combined with a pair of high heels in brown honey color. A classic but chic green apple upper outfits and a tote bag were her partners in fashion that morning.Johnny was talking with Jeanette when she popped up.Jeanette gasped as she gazed at Elena. She beamed and started to become more friendly than she was before. “My dear, you look so gorgeous.” She turned her head around and was scanning Elena
Jane put a smile on her face, her two arms were opened widely as she approached the man.“Sweet heart, I am sorry to make you waiting…”The man seemed stopping to text on his gadget, put it back into his pocket and rose from his seat.Jane gave him a warm hug and a sweet kiss on his lips.Elena gasped. ‘No way, Mommy called him ‘sweet heart’…are they…’Jane turned her head to Elena and was followed by the man.“Elena…this…” Jane stopped, pulled her arms away from the man’s neck and perverted her stare at both.Elena and the man looked gasping at the same time as they gazed at each other, locked their stare in confused look.“Johnny, do you know her?” Jane wrinkled her forehead.Johnny Sly sighed. He turned around to Elena, Jane pulled her hold on his waist.“Yeah. We have worked together.” He gave a sly grin, looked away and returned to sit back on his chair.Elena awkwardly rubbed her forehead. “Are you dating?”Johnny rubbernecked at her and Jane chuckled to hear that. “
The day had shifted. Morning had come to shine again, Elena stopped walking along the park when her gadget echoed.Jane Dovey sent her a message. She invited her to have coffee break.‘What a wonderful news…’ she smiled. Quickly she texted the answer. Fortune was impatiently wagging her tail, asking her to walk again.“Be patient, please.” She said and stared at the dog to sit down. She was busy texting.Jane replied to her message. She mentioned the place’s name, a studio café in the city. It was known as tropical dishes and of course for their coffee brewings. The time they had coffee break, Jane gazed at Elena. She still put her caress on her daughter’s face.“I should teach you how to shine yourself.” Her stare looked gloomy as she sighed. Elena beamed, kissed Jane’s backhand gently. “I’ll be glad to.”“May I ask you?” Elena dipped the croissant into the white coffee.Jane sighed, looked at the way Elena eating the croissant. She rested her chin on a backhand while

She had Edward was holding her hand but she saw one table reserved for four.“Are you sure it’s about a promotion event?” She made eyes at him. She sighed after finding him look so gorgeous with black suits he wore. She put on a strapless gown in silver shade with a pair of black heels. Edward sniffed her on the neck. “Yes.” He whispered. He dragged her a chair at the table he reserved then he took a seat in front of her.He smiled. Without any predictable actions, he tossed Elena’s hair gently. He grabbed something from his suit jacket. It seemed like a piece of jewelries case. There was a pair of tiny white gold earrings with some diamond grains.“You look great if you wear these.” He put each earring on her.Gently, he did it one by one and what he did, unfortunately, it made her blood rushing fast as her heart was thumping fast and warmer her cheeks.She beamed
Ashley was surprised at the time Elena popped up in the café.“Elena, long time not to see you. Everything’s okay?” She widened opened her eyes as she wiped off the table in Elena’s sight.Elena shrugged. “A little accident happened.”“Gosh…!” Ashley covered her mouth with a hand and she gazed at her bestie, picked every details on her head to toe.“What?” Elena skewed her eyebrows. “But you’re okay, aren’t you?”Elena nodded. “Just sprained my two ankles.
