MAFIA SERIES 1: Two Sides Of Her (Complete)

Chapter 50

Ever since the day we went home from vacation ay hindi na ako tinantanan ni Ciara ng text messages at tawag. Naiwan pa kasi siya do'n at kailangan na naming umuwi.

She even tried to convince us to stay another night but I really can't, dahil sa trabaho ko.

At ngayon ilang araw na ang nakalipas ay ako ang kinukulit niya kapag bored siya o kung inaaway daw siya ng kaibigan niya ay sa akin siya nagsusumbong.

Pero alam ko namang hindi siya inaaway ni King. More like he's scolding her for something.

"But Schwyze, minsan talaga he's too dramatic." She whines.

Inipit ko ang telepono sa gitna ng aking tainga at balikat habang abala ang aking kamay sa pagaayos ng mga papeles na aking babasahin.

"Ciara, baka naman kasi ay hindi ka nakikinig sa kaniya? I mean, it's only normal that he'll look after you dahil ibinilin ka ng Daddy mo sa kaniya." I tried explaining to her pero mas lalo lamang siyang nagreklamo.

"Schwyze, are you taking his side over mine?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya sa akin.

I scoff at her question and rolled my eyes unconsciously.

"Of course not. I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt. And besides, when I met him, he looks like he's an honorable and decent man." depensa ko pa.

"Whatever. Oh God he's here na. Bye, I'll talk to you later." Paalam niya. I bid my goodbye to her bago binaba ang tawag.

Naabutan ako ni Cormac na binababa ang tawag namin ni Ciara. He is giving me a questioning look na ikinakunot naman ng noo ko.

"What's with that look?" Sita ko sa kaniya at binaba ang aking telepono sa mesa.

"You've made another friend. You're really improving. I'm proud of you." He teased.

I rolled my eyes at him at hindi na lang siya pinatulan.

"Bukas na ang lunch meeting ni Sarto, at eleven in the Morning. Do'n sa Thirteen Madison Park."

That's right. Which means I have to start planning our set up tonight.

"Understood. I'll call for a family meeting tonight. Do'n na rin tayo magd-dinner sa Family Mansion. Tell the others." I instructed.

Ever since we moved out from the mansion, Dad and Mom's house, ay ginawa ko na itong Family Mansion. Anyone can stay there dahil lahat naman sa amin ay pinagawan ko ng kwarto doon.

"Copy." Tipid niyang sagot sa akin bago lumabas ng aking opisina.

I instructed Alonzo to send me the floor plan of the restaurant, including its interior layout. I also asked him to get me the table that Sarto's secretary made a reservation with, under Sarto's name.

For this plan, I need Andrea and Giosuè on the ground. They'll be going undercover for this.

The last time I overheard their conversation was when they mentioned something about the Pharmaceuticals. At ngayon ang susunod na naman nilang target upag paghasikan ng kademonyuhan ay ang Europe.

I know we'll be able to gather intel from this meeting.

According to what Alonzo sent me, Sarto and his guest will be seated at Table 37. It's in the center part of the restaurant. Away from the camera, but also an advantage for undercover operation.

Being located at the center part means it will be surrounded by other tables. That means more chances for us. I immediately called Carver. Sinabihan ko siya na magpatawag ng Reservation doon sa restaurant sa kaniyang sekretarya. Since through that, it wouldn't be suspicious at all.
