Say You Love Me (A Leo Mafia Story)

Chapter 7

Kurt Nottinghamshire

"Hey everybody!!" napalingon ako sa istorbo ng bahay ko.

"What are you doing here?" he sat infront of me and crossed his legs.

"Nelly, pahingi ng coffee. Yung usual" kumunot ang noo ko sa tono niyang "like a boss".

"Oh hi Rieve! How are you doing?" tawag niya sa secretary kong kakapasok lang ng bahay na may mga dalang documents.

"Good morning, Mr. Clifford" she greet him formally but roll her eyes afterwards.

"Okay spill the beans, Michael. Hindi ka makakarating dito just for vacation. It's not even summer yet"

Michael Clifford, son of my Dad's cousin. Nasa America siya living his life as an adult at hindi ko alam kung bakit nandito to. If he will to choose mas pipiliin niya doon.

"Okay mukhang wala akong matatago sayo. Hmm... this is actually good. Nice job, Nelly" kinindatan niya pa yung maid ko na kinapamula naman ng huli.

"Michael" I called his name firmly. I don't have time for his jokes. Madami akong gagawin.

"Pinatapon ako ni Dad dito. If you don't mind. I'm staying here for a month or two, maybe more. Depends" I can't really fathom if he is my cousin or not.

"What is it this time? To think Tito Kyle throw you here. I bet he reach his peak" ginaya ko din yung posisyon niya saka sumisipsip sa kape ko.

"Nagastos ko lahat ng pera ko sa casino" now that's entresting.

Kyle Clifford was known as a wealthy man kagaya ni Dad. Kilala rin siya sa pagiging makimkim pagdating sa pera niya. He didn't want to use his money for just simple things kaya maraming tao ang tumitingala sa kanya.

"Pretty bad enough. Nelly, lead him sa guestroom sa taas. That will be your room" I insntruct the both of them.

"Sir, here are Mr. Masson's account transactions. May pumasok na kalahating milyon sa account niya just the other day" tinignan ko yung papel na binigay ng secretary ko.

Totoo nga at anonymous ang sender. Tsk! Humanda ka sakin ngayon Mr. Masson.

"You also had a meeting for the launching of Sky Eye at 10, Sir" tinignan ko tung wristwatch ko, 8:45 am. Wala akong masyadong mahabang oras.

"Is that all, Rieve?" may kinuha pa siyang isang document na hawak niya.

"You need to sign this, Sir. It's the authorization letter for the shipping of JT060 sa mga tao ng Leo all over the world" authorization?

"For what?" JT060 is the gun which Benj recently made.

"Mr. Daniels want's this transaction to be done legally. Wala daw po siyang enough equipment to accomodate the guns number" she explained. Maliit na bagay.

"Use my boat. Let Captain Arson on the deck. If that's all, call Michael. I need someone to take good care of Masson" umalis na siya paakyat sa kwarto kung saan si Michael.

I fish out my phone from my pocket and dialed Gabriel's number. Hinayaan ko munang mag-stay doon sa hospital kasama nila Yuri. Para may mag-attend habang wala ako. Besides marami naman akong tao dito. I can handle myself.

"How's everything going, Gabriel?" he answered after a ring.

*Everything's fine, Sir. Tinanggal na nila yung ibang tubes na nakakabit kay Third after niyang magkamalay kanina.*

"Good. I'll be there by 6 in the evening" I glance at the stair to see Rieve with Michael.

*Sure thing, Sir. Alam ko namang miss mo na si Yuri* I frown at the name he use to call Yuri.
