Nandito lang ako sa monitoring area, kasama ko si Primo na panay type sa sales report na kailangan niyang ipasa before the event.

Birthday ni Master Lothaire, taon taon nagiging busy talaga kami but this time is different.

"Masquerade party?" Primo's voice cut through the silence, tumango lang ako I think this will be a big upcoming event, my focus returning to the complex web of digital information laid out before me. Nakita ko pa si Accel kanina mula sa dash cam niya at kumakain siya, I wonder kung kailan siya mabubusog.

"Why a masquerade party, though?" bakit di nalang siya dumiretso kay boss at dun mag tanong tss. I noticed, his voice was laced with unease, a reflection of the underlying tension. Well, I understood his concerns all too well. The danger of exposing ourselves at such an event was a risk we couldn't afford to ignore, especially in our line of work.

At alam kong hindi lang basta LWA ang magtatangkang mang gulo sa event, pati yung mga kaaway sa negosyo o yung may mga personal na galit. Which is, parang normal nalang samin.

Pero isa lang naiisip kong dahilan, kung bakit parang mag mimistulang open gate ang party ni Lothaire. Simply because, our Boss is planning something. Nag celebrate din naman kami before, pero hindi ganito ang preparation at mahigpit nga dati, doble nga ang mga men in black nun. Piling bisita lang ang makakadalo. And now? Parang nagpapapasok lang kami ng kaaway.

"It seems the boss and the chairwoman have a different game plan." I remarked, my fingers flying across the keyboard as I continued my surveillance.

Napansin kong parang ang seryoso ng itsura ni Primo habang nakatingin sa screen. Hinayaan ko nalang at ipinagpatuloy ang ginagawa ko, inaayos ko na din ang pagpapadala ng invitations sa mga malalaking industry.

As we delved deeper into our tasks, a sudden glitch caused our computers to freeze, nagkatinginan kaming dalawa at medyo kinabahan kami because the encrypted blueprints of the upcoming event lay vulnerable, lahat lahat ng plano.

"Dasha, our system has been compromised." tugon ni Primo, hindi siya makapaniwala. For two masterminds of technology like us, such a breach seemed inconceivable. Yet, the reality of the hack loomed over us hindi namin matukoy kung bakit at paano nangyayari 'to.

"We need to fix this Primo, nandito yung blueprint para sa event." with a sense of urgency, we worked in unison to restore the systems. Yari kami neto pag nagkataon eh, our fingers now flying across keyboards with a desperate urgency. Beads of sweat glistened on our foreheads as we fought to reclaim control, hindi na namin yun pinansin dahil mas importante na ma restore namin ang data.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the screens flickered back to life, the error resolved, and the threat neutralized. Nakahinga din kami ng maluwag, pero sa loob loob namin kinakabahan kami dahil baka may nakuha na nung may naganap na glitch kanina.

"Should we tell them?" tanong ni Primo. Ayokong mapahamak ang mga kasama ko dahil lang naging pabaya kami, kaya kahit labag sa loob ko tatawagan ko si Vince.

Tss, hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit hindi kami magkasundo ng taong yun. Hindi ko naman siya inaano, pero laging galit sa'kin.
