WHEN SAMANTHA woke up the next day, Helen was already gone. Which seems weird. Because Helen usually informs her whenever she’s leaving. And the weird thing was—he got the news from her father. Andrius also leave home too early since he got an important shoot from Mr. Monde’s company.“Dad.”Her father who was reading a newspaper peeked to the side. “Yes, honey?”“Mr. Monde is your friend, right? The one who asked for Andrius’s service.”Her father folded the newspaper and placed it on the side table beside the sofa. “Yes, why?”“For how long?” she asked, and she bites on a stick of her strawberry Pocky.The old man furrowed his forehead.“I was talking about your friendship.”“Oh. Well, I met him at a convention in Germany about two years ago. But we first met during an auction—I mean when I attended an event three years ago.”Samantha creased her forehead and bit again on Pocky’s stick. “You mention an auction. What’s that for?”Mr. Johansson sat straight and hemmed as he cleared hi
ANDRIUS WAS indeed right in his instinct that he will not like the model that Mr. Monde mentioned yesterday.How could be the world so small as he was seeing Maddy in front of him, who was smiling flirtatiously at him? But he just remained emotionless.“Andrius, this is my goddaughter, Maddison. She’s the one I’m talking to. She will be joining the rest for the photo shoot.”Maddison was about to give him a friendly kiss when he stepped away. Thus, Maddy almost bumped into the mirror.“Uncle, I knew him. He's a family friend. Dad and his father were best friends during their college days. And we used to be childhood friends.”“Oh. I didn’t know that,” said Mr. Monde who acted astonished and Andrius knew that it was just an act.Andrius could easily notice if the person is just faking his actions or not. he can also sense if that person has another hidden motive.“She will just wear a ring, watches, bracelets, and necklaces, right?” he said.Mr. Monde nodded, “yes. And I hope you could
WHEN THEY climb upstairs, she requested that she’ll be sleeping inside his room which Andrius kinda love and hugged her in rejoicing.She just told him to take a shower first in her room and will get back once she was done. She’s humming as she opens the shower and lets the water fall from it. She didn’t stay longer in the bathroom and went out to get dressed. She just wore a simple nightdress before deciding to go to Andrius's room.When she entered Andrius's room, she can’t see him but she’s hearing drips of water in the bathroom. Seems like he’s not yet done bathing. She then walked towards the balcony. She hugged herself when the cold breeze touches her skin. She looked down at the street and saw how the lights beamed the whole place.As she looked farther, she saw how enchanting those city lights were. Lights from tall buildings make the whole place like art. Trees swayed, and dried branches creaked when the wind blows. Her father's mansion is in an exclusive division near the ci
“I USED to be an undercover agent under the CIA,” Mr. Johansson started as he got out of the car. Yesterday, Mr. Johansson informed him to woke up early because the old man needs to show something.As much as Andrius wanted to wake up Samantha, he just can’t when he saw how she was in deep sleep… snoring softly, which makes the woman adorable.They went inside the Silver Dust hotel and he walked next to Mr. Johansson.“Five years ago, I retired. And decided to build my secret agency.”Andrius won’t seem shocked since the old man already told him about it at the hospital. It was supposed to be a secret between Mr. Johansson and his agent at that time, but it happens that he eavesdropped as he heard Samantha’s name.Mr. Johansson investigated after he got the report from the police. As the old man has a bad presentiment about it. And a person won’t be paranoid not unless he’s expecting someone to sabotage or collect debts from him.As he learned the truth about Samantha’s father, he the
SAMANTHA ALMOST threw her phone when she can’t contact Andrius. Damn! she repeatedly cursed under her breath as she walks back and forth, biting the top of her thumb frustratingly.Why didn’t the man wake her up? And he didn’t even mention that he’ll be out early. She asked the maid where he could be, and she just felt at ease when the maid told her that he was with her dad.After lunch, she decided to visit the hotel, since she knew that it was where his dad’s office was. And maybe the two went there. She’s getting pissed because she can’t contact her dad too that’s why she just decided to pay a visit.But when she got there, Marcy informed her that the boys already left about an hour ago.How unfortunate she could be. She then bid goodbye to Marcy and called Helen on her way down to the first floor.Helen then invited her to watch her perform. Since Samantha already missed the Peregrine Club, she then agreed.The show will start at three and it’s just a quarter to two in the afterno
SAMANTHA HAS ALREADY done everything she wanted to do the whole day, but Andrius is not yet home. She can’t stop worrying because it’s the first time that the man never calls or send her a message about his whereabouts. She did try to call her father and even the old man, is not responding.She glanced at the wall clock and it was already nine-thirty in the evening. The two maids already bid goodbye as they already needed to rest. She just let them and left them alone in the living room as she waits for the boys.The two were stressing her out. She could have stayed at the Peregrine Club much longer or she could have slept at Helen’s apartment—their apartment when she was still dancing at the club.She lazily tapped the television remote as she scanned different channels. She can’t find any good movie to watch. In the end, she just turned off the television.She lay down on the couch and stared at the chandelier. She heaved a deep sigh. Suddenly, she then realizes how boring her life
ANDRIUS WOKE UP EARLY the next day. he was delighted when he first saw Sam’s innocent face. She caresses it and kisses her on the lips. Samantha then woke up and they both have their breakfast.“Where’s dad?” she asked the maid while they were eating.”“He already left, ma’am,” the maid replied, and she just nodded.“How about you babe, what time will you go to work?” she asked as she slices the steak on her plate. “Are you still working at Mr. Monde?”Andrius sipped on the cup of his coffee before answering. “No. I’m done with him and now focusing on your company.”She nodded, “good. I will not let Maddy gets closer to you. Anyway, how’s dad, as he teaches you? Is he strict?”Andrius let out a soft chuckle. “No, babe. He’s kind. What makes you think that he’s strict?”She shrugged her shoulders, “well… he always wears a serious face, that’s why.”“He’s good—we’re good. Nothing to worry about, babe.”She nodded as they both finish their food. When they were done, Andrius climb upstair
THE FBI OPERATIONAL team leader was amazed by Andrius. Andrius really has the potential to be a successful field agent. Hunting criminals which got millions of dollars on their heads could be a perfect job for him.That’s what they said. And Spencer was still eager to get him on their side, but Andrius disagree. And the FBI permitted him to be a soloist. He could be possibly the hitman of the top intelligence agencies (FBI, CIA)“Are you ready to receive a mission, Andrius?” Mr. Johansson asked after his evaluation with the operational team leader of the FBI.“Can I spend some time with Sam, Sir?” he asked.The old man smiled. “Sure, son. And Sam will love it. I will give you three days to spend time with her. Be sure to make some convincing excuses to her whenever you will not go home in time… once you receive missions.”Andrius gestured a salute, “yes, Sir.”The old man laughed. “It’s okay if you will not give formal respect to me, son. We’re family.”Andrius shook his head and smil
