Chapter 20: ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN

~RYU~

MY MIND keep thinking about what happened at Que. That transaction with Fabio is a hoax, as Cooler foreseen. Naalala ko ang sinabi ni Cooler sa akin habang naghahanda ako sa lakad ko.

"Don't close the deal," wika ni Cooler habang nakatayo sa pinto at pinapanood ako habang inaayos ang suot kong necktie.

"Why? Because you don't like Fabio or because of your gut feel?"

"I'll say both."

Napatigil ako sa ginagawa ko at hinarap siya. "What does your gut feel tells you?"

"People like Fabio are cannot be trusted. Sila ang uri ng mga taong aabutan mo ng pagkain ngunit pati kamay mo ay kakagatin. We had enough of those people in the past. Surely you don't want our reapers to dispose people of that kind," paliwanag ni Cooler. Seryosong-seryoso ang mukha nito, his usual expression when it comes to business.

"I am always a believer of your gut feel," I said. "But nevertheless, I have to face those people, whether it's a hoax or not."

"Bring Mnemosyne with you instead of Ares. Maging si Poseidon. Let him watch somewhere."

"Okay, I will."

He nodded his head. "The decision is yours." He turned on his back and left my room immediately.

Until now, Cooler has never been wrong with his intuition. In fact, I take pieces of advice from him than following Cronus' orders. And what happened at Que isn't what as I've expected. Knowing how dirty Fabio plays, I have to make a sacrifice. The project or the mafia. And I chose the mafia over our project. Ngunit hindi ko inaasahan ang ginawa ni V.

I was mentally cursing because of what she did. It was something that all made us stop and stare. Her strategy was beyond my expectation and damn her! Up until now, I can clearly see in my mind her slender neck up to her bare shoulders. Her curves were on the right places up to her long slender thighs. Who knew that we'll won? I chose that card game because it's something that isn't popularly played by gamblers, unless you are a true player who relies on playing skills than cheating skills.

We all thought that we lose, and I fucking lose both the mafia and the project. It was a gamble but V was able to pull it through.

"Who are those people?" Tanong ng boses na nagpabalik sa alaala ko. She asked again the same question and snapped her fingers in front of me.

"Acquaintances."

"It seemed liked you plot something with them," she said, turning the car to the left.

"Just to give Fabio a dose of his own medicine," sagot ko. I saw her shrug her shoulders at hindi na lamang nagsalita pa hanggang sa makarating kami ng mansyon.
