"What is the meaning of this?"

Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya niya ba ang magmaang-maangan at magbulag-bulagan pero hindi ako naniniwala na wala pa rin siyang alam. Or if he really has no idea, I don't care. I need him right now. I need to take advantage of the situation.

I picked up my earpiece again, and the moment I put it on, I immediately heard the voices of Eli and Sahara on the other line.

"Amore! What the hell happened there?" Sigaw ni Sahara na mukhang kanina pa ako tinatawag.

"Hello?" Sagot ko sa kabilang linya pero hindi ko inalis ang tingin at atensyon kay Jared. Ilang mura rin kaagad ang natanggap ko kay Sahara na bakas ang sobrang pag-aalala.

"What the fuck is that? Amore! Ano nang nangyayari d'yan? Papunta na kami!" Nag-aalala ang boses nito. I could even hardly understand her because of the noise on her back.

"I am fine. I got him. Jared Mori is here with me." Sabi ko bago ko tiningnan si Jared.

Nasa ibabaw pa rin niya ako habang nakatutok ang patalim sa kaniyang leeg. Isang maling galaw niya at hindi talaga ako magkakamali. Hindi ako mangingiming itarak sa leeg niya ang hawak ko.

"Mabilis niyo lang na mahahanap ang lugar na ito dahil sikat at kilala ang hotel na ito. You guys can enter without being immediately recognized. But some of the floors aren't accessible to other visitors." Kanina, bukod sa kinabisa ko ang daan at mga palapag, naging bukas din ang tainga ko.

Narinig ko sa ilan sa mga tauhan ni Jared at hindi nakalagpas sa pandinig ko ang sinabi ng isa sa kanila.

The last five floors of the building were occupied by his men. I don't know who those people were on that floor, but I'm sure those are not just his men. I am sure it had something to do with Jared.

"I am here at his penthouse. There are two CCTVs on every elevator. Pagkarating niyo rito, there are approximately 20 men in the corridor and roughly 12 CCTVs in the whole hallway."

"Don't think about the CCTVs. Eros will take care of them." Ani Sahara kaya napatango-tango ako.

"Papunta na kami ni Eli dyan—

"So you are not an escort, huh? Damn! I was fooled." Nagawa pang mag-komento ni Jared sa gitna ng sitwasyon niya ngayon. Hindi siya gumawa ng kahit na ano. Hindi siya gumalaw at lumaban katulad ng banta ko pero naroon naman ang nang-aasar na tono. He even looked at me like he was really amazed by what he had discovered.

"I was so enchanted by you that I didn't see this coming, huh?" The amusement was very evident in his voice. My eyes narrowed.
