18: "It"

“Good evening, Miss Sandoval.”

I bowed my head to Miss Sandoval, the big-time client of Mister Ramirez. We’re here in a decent restaurant and I went here early to prepare their meeting dinner. Miss Sandoval has arrived first and we will just wait for Mister Ramirez.

“Have a seat, Ma’am,” I told her and guided her the sit.

She then smiled at me. “Thank you.”

I bowed my head a little and went to the counter. There is already wine on their table and the food will be served later once Mister Ramirez gets to arrive. Good thing he went to the rendezvous minute later. I will kick his ass off if he will make Miss Sandoval wait for him.

They greeted each other before Mister Ramirez sat on his seat. I just stared at them while the staff started to serve their food on the table. And just like expected, they started to have a conversation about business. I want to laugh because the way Mister Ramirez looks at her seems like he already wants to take her on the bed to fuck her countless times. The awkwardness was visible on Miss Sandoval’s face but she remained normal as she is professional. She maybe did not like how that fucking man looked at her.

“Drink, Miss?” a staff offered to me. I just smiled at her and accepted the wine she is handing me.

“Thank you.” She bowed her head at me before leaving. I just took my wine while observing the two on their doings. Later on, I decided to left and go to my room. I walked past Mister Ramirez's unit and stopped in realization. I bit my lower lip first and stared at the door now afterward. It is locked but I have a spare key with me. Should I go inside?

"Hmm," I squinted my eyes on the room and smiled a little. Maybe I will just take a peek inside to see if he has important with his things. I have to start my next move by getting closer to Mister Ramirez.

I went inside and was about to open his room, but then, it is locked. I then let out a small sigh and hissed. I headed to the cabinets to see if he might have things he got to put there, but it is all empty.

"What the hell?" I cursed and rolled my eyes. Why does not he does things here? I was about to leave the room when my eyes darted to the sofa. There, I saw a phone - his phone rather. I quickly get it and I was even shocked when it has no password.

Really? No password? How careless this Ramirez is.

I went to his contacts and scanned my eyes through them. The names there are his families who were Ramirez's and also, some were no hints of what they are related to Kiel. My eyes then stopped when I saw a familiar name that I am already a simp for.

Hanz Xiro Ramirez.

I quickly memorized his phone number and to be so sure, I take note of it on my phone. After doing so, I put the phone back from where I got it and I even jumped in shock when someone just opened the door all of a sudden! It was a staff!

My brows furrowed. "What are you doing here?" I asked the staff that made her stop for a moment, surprised.

"Uh, I am sorry but Mister Ramirez told me to get his phone here and bring it to him to the restaurant."

My mouth formed an "o" before I nodded my head. I then looked at his phone that I just put back on the sofa. I then reached for it. "I will bring this to him. Don't bother yourself."

"He might get mad if I will not be the one who will bring his phone to him," she said in a monotone, a bit shy and hesitant.

I then chuckled on the other hand. "Do not worry. I got you."

She just smiled awkwardly at me. I then walked near her so we can now get out of the room. We both went down to the restaurant. I was the one who went near Mister Ramirez and Miss Sandoval for me to hand to Kiel his phone. Oh, wait. Kiel just sounds good. Maybe I will start to call him that way.

"I'd love that, too! You know about -"

"Excuse me," I went near them and interfered respectfully. "Here is your phone, Sir."

"Oh," he looked at me and smiled a little. "Thank you."

"No worries. Sorry for interrupting your conversation anyway."

"No, it's fine, uh, Miss?"

I smiled at Miss Sandoval. "Talia Hernandez, Ma'am."

"Oh, what a nice name, Talia. Anyway, mind if you join us here?"

My eyes widened in surprise. I then shook my head twice. "No, no. This is your meeting yet date at the same time. I am fine, Ma'am Sandoval."

She nodded her head. "Alright."

Before I went off, I saw how Kiel raised his brows at me. He then just shrugged it off and keep his phone near him. I could not help but smile, guilty at the same time. I peek on his phone just to know some information about his twin brother. That sounds so bad of me but anyway, this is for good.

I went back to our floor and went inside my room. I rest myself there and checked about an update from Sir Deguzman. Since he did not text me, I decided to tell him about what I have done for today.

Me:

I am focusing on Hanz Xiro Ramirez. I got his phone number. And also, I will seek more information about him since his brother is just a talk away from me. I know I am doing great, Sir. I should have a reward, a reward of letting me know of everything from your investigation yourself.

I smiled when he has seen my message quickly. He then texted back.

 Mister Daguzman:

Yeah, that's great but don't ask for my investigation. You say you are good so be Independent enough.

I snorted and sagged my shoulders. He does not want to share with me about the case he has found himself in. Yeah, I have to be independent and responsible but I just want to know about his study! Anyway, I will show him that I am really good and I am too desperate to have justice for myself and my parents.

I then stood up and went out to my room. This is it.
