sesenta y tres

Breakfast was served outside of the cabin the following morning. Luckily, the twins were sound asleep and she had to wake up at around 3 AM to check on them. 

Tumiyempo naman na gising na silang pareho.

She only had to feed both of them bago pa man muling nagpakita ang dalawang assistant mula sa mansyon. 

The grey eyed man was sitting in front of her while his two assistant served breakfast for both of them. 

"Kailangan ba talagang ganyan ang suot nila habang nagsisilbi sa'yo?"

"We'll, I like to look at their assets all of the time."

"No wonder." she sighed as she took a sip of the newly brewed coffee, "What's your name again?"

"Elias. Elias Norton," he introduced himself with a hint of mystery in his foreign name.

"Finally have a name for those eyes." she grabbed a fork and picked up a slice of spam using that, "So to what do I owe this breakfast?"

"I hope you had a blast last night."

"It was okay."

"Well, you will do way more than okay. Do you recall the people I asked you to approach last night?"

"Every single one of them."

"Perfect."

He laid a photo in front of her, one she recognized all too well. 

"He is our priority, man's name is.."

"Jake De Silva." she interrupted.

"That's right. He is the most current business partner of a man I wanted to so much to get into business. Unfortunately, I can't penetrate their organization because of this man. So, I need to earn his trust. Penetrate is business first before getting into his business partner's organization."

"What are you asking me to do?" her emotions are starting to heighten.

The man in the photo is good looking. Smoking green eyes, a square jaw faced devil who seemed to have been bored in hell and is now out to walk the earth, ready to pester on women's emotions. 

"Gain his trust, even if it means having to seduce him."

"How do I do that?"

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. Remember what you were doing last night?"

"Yes." she hesitantly answered. 

"It wasn't just a simple act of ushering guests. Everyone who held eyes on you, wanted you for themselves."

"You mean.."

"Yes honey. You wore a price tag last night, one that's too expensive for just anyone to afford."

"How dare you."

"It is my business Sari. Don't worry though, this man doesn't want anything physical unless you'd need him to do so. In fact, you have a date with him this afternoon, paid for until he'd tire of you."

Nararamdaman na niya an pamumula ng sariling mukha sa panggagalaiti. The man is ruthless and would not even give a single care.

"Don't worry honey, my men will be there to make sure you would never lose sight of your own target."

"Then what's next?"

"Do that first, and we'll see what happens next."

He soon stood up and left without sayin anything else to her. 

By 4 pm that day, she found herself in a discreet corner of an upscale restaurant, perched on the edge of sophistication and secrecy. The venue overlooked the sprawling city below, its glittering lights casting a mesmerizing glow as the sun dipped below the horizon.
