Chapter 3

August's POV

The music played smoothly as we danced slowly. We talked about a lot of things that are far from politics or anything. I am trying to fish something but I couldn't do it. It's also obviously smart so I can't just flatter it or use some technique. I will not act as a flirty type as well because tomorrow I might be surprised to find myself in a room naked. I don't trust these types of men who are after getting under the pants of every girl they meet. It might do something to me without me realizing it.

"You dance well," Nathan commented to me.

I just smiled. "Because you are a good leader," I answered here. It's a miracle because I haven't stepped on his feet yet. I don't suck with dance, but I am not that good either. "Er, my feet are getting sore." I winced at the same time even though it wasn't really. I wanted us to sit so that I could hear other conversations and I saw as well a group of men in tuxes coming in and I could recognize their faces. They are the underground associates of Senator Velasquez.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Let's get back to our seats." He promised and helped me back to our seats.

After we got to our seats and sat down, someone immediately approached Senator Velasquez and whispered something. The latter immediately nodded and looked at me.

"I have to take care of something. I'll be back soon." He said this and he tapped my shoulder he stood up and started walking in that direction heading to a door that seems like one of the living room or playroom.

"Six o'clock. Nod." I promise.

"We're on it," Reed answered.

My eyes became blurry and I felt my surroundings. I stood up and pretended to go to the lady's room. But I immediately got confused and walked out of the kitchen in that mansion. I immediately looked for the place where Senator Velasquez entered. There were windows there, but the curtains were so thick that it would be difficult for me to find them. But as I turned I finally saw a large window with light and shadows there that seemed to be talking. I can even see the shadow of a man holding a glass, and drinking from it, so I didn't hesitate to approach it and took something from my hair.

It is a bug. It is a small device that can crawl inside and it will capture the conversation inside the room. So I put it on the window and I was not wrong. The bug started to move and it entered a small corner.

"Gotcha," Misha said from the earpiece.

I smirked. "Easy job." My comment. What is happening is not even a challenge. It would be better if action is fought. So I left there and took off my mask. I spent some time outside because the view outside the mansion that also belonged to a senator was beautiful. I entered the mansion again a few minutes later.

"He's so dead. This is the end of his good life." Misha promised.

"Make sure to release it right away," Reed promised.

"It's the end of his reign," Jasper promised.

"Why did they give us this job? It's way too easy and boring." Ryujin complained. I don't know where they are located because I can't see them.

"FBI dimwits. And they will take the credit after this." Jasper promised.

True. We work behind the dark and the FBI is the one who usually takes credit for our job. The Philippines has no idea if we even exist.

"Be ready August, it will be a big chaos," Misha warned me. "98..............99.............100%. Uploaded."

I entered completely and almost froze in place when I met Senator Velasquez's gaze. His gaze went stuck on me. It stayed on my face and then it went down below. Recognition registered on his face so he slowly approached me. My eyes became mischievous and a passing waiter got me a glass of white wine. I took a sip and noticed that Senator Velasquez was standing in front of me. He is smiling widely and looks satisfied with what he is seeing.

"Perfect." He almost whispered while looking into my eyes. "I-"

"Senator!" His bodyguards suddenly approached, which is why those around him suddenly panicked.

I clenched my jaw and stepped back. Suddenly almost all the cellphones of the people there rang and they all answered it. While answering, they looked at Senator Velazquez who now had a dark face. He looks pissed. I backed away completely and his gaze went to me but I avoided it. I quickly followed the movements of the guests there and I was able to easily exit the kitchen again out of the mansion.

"Get out of there, the police are coming," Misha said so I hurried out and looked for the exit behind the mansion.

We already have the blueprint of this mansion so we have memorized the ins and outs of it. Immediately there was a car. It's Reed's car and I immediately got in it. I can't even complain anymore. Reed drove quickly and we met the police cars honking towards the mansion.

"Do you think they will be able to catch him?" I will ask. I doubt it. That's just the plan. We will just get the proof and our job is done. It will be the FBI and police who will capture them.

"If they are dimwits, then they will not be able to," Reed answered.

I feel something is wrong. I have a strong feeling that Senator Velasquez will escape. I can almost see it already. Senator Velasquez, sitting inside the chopper at the helipad at the top floor area of ​​the mansion. "I think, he'll escape," I stated. I don't know but I must be imagining things like those pictures flashed inside my mind.

"Let's just hope this time, your hunch is incorrect. That man is not an easy enemy." Reed replied. "But did he see you?"

I swallowed. "What do you mean?"

"Your face." I clenched my palm. Yes. He saw me, but I don't think he would suspect me. "No." I just answered.

"Good. There might be a possibility that he will make an investigation into all the people who attend the gathering. It's best not to be seen." He said that his eyes were still on the road.

I didn't answer anymore. I don't think that he will suspect me. I am not that transparent. Not unless, he can read my mind, then I am already busted from the very beginning.

Reed just kept driving until we got to the boutique. We immediately entered there and went to G6. The monitoring area was there and Misha was there too. Chief immediately greeted us.

"Good job!" Chief greeted us.

The other elevator rang and Jasper and Ryujin got out.

"Bad news. He escaped, with a helicopter." Ryujin said with a frown on his face. "FBI screwed up."

What the fuck? I feel so good! He did escape! Fucking shit, I suddenly got nervous. I can already feel the coming storm. I feel like this is already the prelude to the upcoming chaos. The fuck, he saw me. Maybe it will do what Reed said.

"Those FBI. They should fire those men who are not capable of capturing a criminal." Chief promised angrily. If before it was happy, now it seems like it will explode again. "They should have let us finish their fucking jobs."

No one spoke to us because if it was angry, it was really angry. We cannot do anything about it but let him blurt it out. It immediately walked out in front of us. So I quietly entered the locker room and took my bag with my normal clothes in it. I immediately dressed in black fitted leather pants and black tank top and a black leather coat. I put on black timber shoes and went out of the locker room.

"Hey, finally, we can go home." Misha opened up to me. We live in the same building. We are neighbors in Pacific Plaza Towers in BGC. We both own a condo unit. I was also able to do it because of my work. This is a high-paid job.

"Yeah. I'm tired. I hate those creepy heels." I commented and we went to the elevator together.

"Wait!" Reed shouted and rushed into the elevator and gasped a little.

"You look uncool just now," Misha commented and it made him laugh.

This girl is crazy. Even though he looks uncool, it doesn't change the fact that he's still handsome. As long as he's handsome, even if he looks stupid, he's still cute. Ts

"Yeah right." Reed just answered and pressed G1 so the elevator started moving up. "August, wanna sleepover? I have new movies." Reed was my nanny.

"You must have said food. You don't seem to know that." Misha's groin.

"That's automatic. When did the condo run out of food?" Reed replied grumpily to this. I don't know about these two, they don't seem to get along. I can't tell if Misha likes something here because I also memorized this trick. But I can tell that she's not romantically attracted to Reed. Reed turned to look at me. "What? Game?"

I shook my head. "I'm too tired Reed. Only next time. I am seeking refuge with my bed right now." I answered this sluggishly. It's true because I'm really tired. I didn't even sleep well that rest day, because of this business, and there was suddenly an emergency meeting. Where is the justice of my rest day? That's just one more day wasted.

"Fine, next time." Reed also said that his voice was mixed with disappointment but I really couldn't do a sleepover right now. Yes, sometimes, I sleep at Reed's condo especially if we have an early mission. He has two rooms, one is a guest room that he lets me use whenever I sleep there. I even have a few clothes there.

We got out of the elevator and left the boutique. Immediately I saw my parked motorcycle Black Ducati 848 Evo. On the other side is Reed's car, a Bugatti Veyron. I cringe while looking at this car. I am not comfortable with this type of car. I still prefer the Bentleys. And Misha gently reached her ride. Her Yamaha YZF R6.

We all have cool rides because it's also fashionable to show off the car here. I don't trip cars because I like motorcycles more.

We immediately got into our respective cars and we also went in convoy. Our route is always like this. Reed is sending us to BGC then he will go home after. We are used to that since our place is just around the area. He's in Makati while we're in BGC. It's not that far.

Soon we reached the basement of Pacific Plaza Towers. We immediately parked our motorcycle in the parking area and went to the elevator. I pressed 24 because that's where Misha and I are on the floor.

"You know August, I feel strongly about Reed." Misha's words.

"What?" I'm lazy to ask here. Because I'm not interested in what he says. I knew exactly what she was going to say about Reed.

"That someone likes you." This is the answer.

I breathed a sigh of relief. This issue has been around for a long time. She is insisting that Reed likes me even though he doesn't. Like hell, I know those types. Beautiful and sexy and I'm not on that list, and we are friends. If that wanted me, I wouldn't have been drafted.

"Aren't you fed up with that issue Misha? Do you see what kind of girls he dates?" I promise I'm lazy here.

"I'm aware of it naturally. But I feel really strong. He's different when it comes to you. No sane man would invite a woman to sleep over at his condo for no reason." He said that it seems like someone is still thinking that I got something.

"So are you saying that he invited me because he wanted to have sex with me? Eeeew, stop it. I have slept there several times so his infatuation is not malicious. And besides, maybe he is bored because there is no one with him in his condo. That's the size of the condo." I answer here. I was horrified by that thought. I will attack this Misha if he insists on what he says.

It snorted. "Eh, that's what I see. It's not impossible that he likes you. You know you're beautiful. Beautiful beautiful."

"Stop it, Misha, I might kill your pet Tinay." I threaten her. He has a pet poodle in his condo. It's unfortunate because he leaves it every day. So I won't take care because I can't leave a dog alone in my condo.

"Yes, it's about to stop. Hey, it's a good night. We're training soon because the Alpha Team is coming." Misha told me when we got out of the elevator and we were on our floor.

"Yeah, we should be happy." I just said and sleepily headed to my door. "Goodnight Misha." And I swiped the card on the scanner and the door opened I can't wait to lay down on my soft mattress to enjoy sleep.
