Couple Next Door

Chapter 18: His Mission

''We can't contact any of the boys...'' Misty said as she sat on the couch.

''I think it's best Sammy stays here first. She really looks weak.'' Charlotte suggested while still tapping on her phone sending messages to the boys. They need their help for Samantha's proposal to make it successful. ''Brooke...''

''Hmmm...''

''Come here, look at this menu... and should we put the ring inside the sushi? Or inside a cake? Or in the wine glass or...Or should unnie just propose all by herself?'' Misty asked as she keyed in reminders on her ipad.

''Hmmmm...''

''Brooklyn????''

''*Chomp chomp chomp* Hmm? Yeah... *chomp chomp chom* just... *chomp let her propose... No need for *chomp other props.''

''I can't believe this! That's already your 8th corn!'' Charlotte stood up and shoved her phone to her pocket.

''My doctor said grains are good for me.'' Brooke said as she wiped her mouth before grabbing a bottled water. ''Listen you two... Sammy wants the proposal to be as simple as possible, ok? It's enough that it's done over a dinner with James having no idea she's about to propose. And she wants all the people important to her appear when he says yes. That's her instruction.'' she said as she pointed to Samantha who went back to sleeping once more.

''Noted!'' Misty said. ''I'll be going in a while. I need to meet my staff. If Dyl can decide without me, I can do the same!''

''Aisht! Why are these idiots not picking up?'' Charlotte said after trying to contact the boys.

''Omo! Uncle Howard is ringing Sam's phone!!! What to do???'' Brooke squealed and threw her corn.

''Yah you can't let them know!!!'' Charlotte said and took the phone from Brooke's hand.

''Hello?'' Charlotte tried to calm herself and sound normal.

''Hello? Charlotte?''

''Y-y-yes, Uncle. Sammy's... Sam's inside the restroom! Yes... We're having early dinner right now uncle.'' Charlotte said while closing her eyes.

''Oh, is that so? Hmm... I just want to let her know that the boys are on an important operation. I was afraid she's getting overly worried again. Tell her not to. Understand? Or maybe I'll just try to call again later.''

''NO NEED UNCLE!!!''

''What?''

Charlotte clamped her mouth and looked at Misty and Brooke but the two are just biting their lips.

''I mean, I'll just let her know. Don't worry Uncle. Ehe... Yes... Yes... Of course! Bye~!'' Charlotte said and finally heaved a sigh of relief when Samantha's father already hung up.

''Fuck!!! We really need to get through with this! It's hard keeping a secret, damn it!''

"We're already surrounding the entire vicinity, James." Sebastian's voice came booming in James' ears signaling James that he can proceed infiltrating the area. Shoving his hands inside his pockets after adjusting his hood, he walked casually into the dark alley when men in black suits started to arrive one by one. Sean went straight with a bag, blending himself in with the crowd while Dylan and Yves stayed behind them backing them up.

"You two, make sure not to show your face for some of the men might recognize you." Sebastian reminded the other two since they were part of the team that went to the bank robbery scene at Mapo-Gu.

Looking at each other as if sending signals, Yves and Dylan quickly grabbed two men into a corner and silenced them with a punch and a hit on their nape. They quickly rummaged through the men's pockets for the red ticket which they need to get in.
