Willing To Steal
"Suotin mo 'to Alora. Mas bagay 'to d'yan sa suot mo."
Inismiran ko si Megan habang hawak nito ang kwintas na may malalaking diamonds. The elegant and exquisite jewelry hanging on her fingers is too much for me. My heirloom necklace is fine. I'm afraid that the necklace she's offering would cover almost all of my chest part.
"Formal event ang pupuntahan natin, hindi pageant. Isa pa, takaw sa mata 'yan. We're going to keep ourselves lowkey there." Pa-irap na pag-tutol ni Jinx.
Muli akong humarap sa full size mirror at pinagmasdan ang kabuohan ko. I'm wearing a red sweetheart long dress with high slit on the left leg part. Alice prepared all of our outfit for tonight. My stilettos are red too, even my lips. My hair is curled perfectly giving me more mature and seductive look.
I'm not preparing to be the old man's mistress tonight. That auction party is probably filled with seniors.
"You look stunningly gorgeous," Alora complimented as she stood beside me.
"Enough to look like a hoe," I added to her sentence.
Tinignan ko ang repleksyon niya sa salamin. I can't deny but she also look so beautiful in that navy blue dress.
"You're a classy and elegant hoe, then," she playfully said.
Napairap na lang ako. Tinalikuran ko siya at dinampot ang itim na purse sa lamesa. Sa peripheral vision ko, nakita ko ang pag-ahon ni Jinx mula sa sofa.
"Aalis na tayo?" tanong niya.
Tuloy ang lakad ko palabas nitong
kwarto. Rinig ko naman ang yapak nila sa likuran.
"Mr. Allanes will be there anytime soon. We have to assure his safety against the possible assault," Custudio said.
His gaze shifted to Alice when she suddenly spoke. "Whatever happens in the event, the plan against Robert Spencer must be executed." The bravery in her voice was noticeable.
Sinang-ayunan ng lahat ang sinabi niyang iyon bago pa man kami umalis sa headquarters.
Mag-isa kong dina-drive ang itim na kotseng ito papunta sa venue ng event. Puro itim na kotse ang minamaneho naming lahat. Mag-isa lang si Alice sa kanyang kotse habang magkasama naman sina Jinx at Megan sa isa pa. When it comes about Custodio and his group, they're six in total and they're using two cars.
The party is filled with lively music and fascinating lights. There's a lot of round tables. Some are high tables without chairs while the other tables near the stage have. We chose to occupy the high tables because it is located at the back. Hindi kami masyadong mapapansin dito.
"Anong oras ba 'to magsisimula?" naiinip na tanong ni Jinx.
Umirap si Megan sa kanya bago sumimsim sa baso ng wine. Nang mapansin ang waiter na dumaan sa kanyang likuran, pinahinto niya ito.
"Wewe-wait. I want one," saad niya saka kinuha ang isa pang baso ng wine na nasa tray ng server.
The waiter just nodded and gave her a welcoming smile before he went away. Megan has two glasses of red wine now.
The party started with a formal opening speech of the auctioneer. Napuno na rin ang venue dahil sa pagdagsaan ng mga guests. Kanina pa namin pasimpleng nililibot ang mga mata para mahanap ang senador pati si Mr. Robert, pero wala kaming nakita.
"Mr. Allanes is finally here. He's at the right side of the stage, 3 tables far from here, wearing a blue tie," Alice reported.
I immediately looked at that direction and saw the senator sitting with 4 men on the table. They're probably his chaperones.
