Scandal 24 – In which the wife looks for the player

Cassandra eyed James suspiciously across from the table, he just gave Jenny a black AmEx card. Ano naman ang gagawin ng kapatid niya sa card na iyon?

Jenny was still looking bewildered, still staring at the black card in her hand.

“Don’t you think it’s a bit too much James?” Cassandra asked, setting down her fork and knife down and grabbing the glass of water. She turned to look at Jenny, “Itago mo yan kayla nay.”

Jenny nodded, clutched the card. “Thank you.”

Cassandra smiled. “Have you cleared your schedule for tomorrow night?” she asked James. Tomorrow was the benefit concert and because of the summit, James had been busy for the past week.

They continued their small talk. Jenny and James seemed to had gotten closer and Jenny stopped glaring James every chance she had, James stopped scowling. It was nice that the two of them were finally getting along.

Linda came in the dining room and walked toward her, she bent and whispered in Cassandra’s ears. “Mr. Ian is in Dark Alley.”

Agad niyang nilingon si Linda at tumango. “Paki handa yung sasakyan at paki kuha yung bag ko.” utos niya dito.

Tumango si Linda at naglakad na palabas ng dining room.

Tinignan siya ni James “What was that about?” he asked.

“Excuse me.” She tossed the napkin and pushed herself up of the chair. “Something came up; I’ll see you both tomorrow.” She said, turned and walked out.

James followed her and grabbed her. “Where are you going?”

She sighed. “Clara asked me to look over Ian and he’s a very hard man to track.” She told him, ilang ilaw ng hinahanap ng invistigator niya si Ian kaso laging nawawala si Ian. “I found him so I need to go see him.”

“I’ll come with you.”

Umiling si Cassandra. “You don’t get along with Ian. I’ll be fine.” she said, leaned over James and kissed him in the cheek. “I’ll see you when I get back.” And she turned, walked out of the house and hopped in the car.

They drove to Dark Alley, one of the most expensive and sophisticated club in town. It was a member’s only club and the good thing was Cassandra was a member or else she wouldn’t be able to get in.

Clara forced her to join the club, it was a nice place, a very exclusive club. Everyone respected your privacy. What happens inside the club doesn’t leave the walls of the club.

Nang nakarating na siya sa Dark Alley ay bumaba agad siya at hindi na hinintay si Linda. Binati siya pagkapasok palang niya sa loob ng club. The club was dimly lit, slow and sensual music was blaring through the walls of the club, people were minding their own business.
