Misty Eyes (Book 2 of Eyes Trilogy)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

I've been in different high class casinos, played with numbers of gambling lords, seduced them by just playing my eyes, biting my lips and showing a part of my skin. This is how a hummingbird existed, but tonight the pressure and tension inside this huge room hearing the noise of the poker chips is one of the toughest situations I have ever encountered.

In my previous missions, I can easily calm myself down, can easily play the tone of the game and can fly like a hummingbird dancing with the air. But everything right now is something unusual, plus the fact that these people around us are considered as one of the high end gambling lords with best men and securities.

Umiikot ang aking mga mata. Most men are wearing black tux and yes, armed. Isang maling galaw lamang ay alam kong magkakaroon ng mainit na gulo.

We should make our move safe and clean, dahil kaming tatlo ang mapapatay ng di oras.

I wonder if Armando prepared backups, hindi ko nakitang naging abala ng nakaraang araw si Tristan para sa misyong ito. He's too busy playing with me.

Bahagya kaming nagkatitigan ni Alexis, he's acting as Gray's security guard. Alam kong kanina pang mainit ang kanilang mga mata ni Armando sa isa't isa. Just like Tristan and Gray.

While their new hummingbird? She's busy snaking her body with Gray, na parang wala itong pakialam sa nangyayari.

Is she a simple call girl? O alam nito ang totoong sitwasyon?

There are four players, Tristan aka Mr. Stanley John Sandoval, son of one of the largest food distributors here in the Philippines with branches from China, Indonesia, China, Malaysia—yeah many more. Kasama na ang mga illegal.

Since this is the first time that Mr. Sandoval accepted the invitation and he seldom attends to different business gatherings, it's easy for us to take his place. Lalo na at sanay ang Sous L'eau laruin ang pagkatao ng iba't ibang personalidad lalo ang mga negosyante sa black market.

Armando cleaned all the possible mess, siguro bago pa malaman ng mga kalaban namin na hindi si Tristan ang totoong Stanley Sandoval ay nanakaw na namin ang alahas na kailangan namin.

Nakaupo ako sa tabi ni Tristan katulad nang ibang babaeng nakapulupot sa kanilang mga amo. The moment my eyes touches the jewel, my right hand went unconsciously on his legs.

My hummingbird instinct immediately turned on. Siguro ay nasanay na talaga ang mga mata kong tumingin ng iba't ibang alahas kung totoo ba ito o hindi.

While scanning the jewel, I unconsciously move my right hand upward. Damn it. It's legit. My hands urgency to snatch the jewel around his neck is damn heating. Hindi na ako makapaghintay na hablutin at hawakan ito.

Well, the collections of jewels are my life. Dahil may sinumpaan ako sa isang taong kukumpletuhin ko ito, kahit anong mangyari.

The hummingbird will claim it, definitely.

Nawala ang paninitig ko sa kwintas ni Mr. Orias nang maramdaman kong mas lumapit sa akin si Tristan, and he whispered something.

"Hey call girl..not there, it's my jewel." Nagtaasan ang mga balahibo ko nang marahan nitong kagatin ang tenga ko.

Huli na nang maramdaman ko kung saan na pala nakalagay ang kamay ko.

"Oh," inihiwalay ko ang kamay ko kasabay ng pagbubuga ni Tristan ng usok.

"Good girl,"

Sa halip na pagtuunan ng pansin ang kwintas ay muli kong pinaglandas ang mata ko sa grupo nila Gray.
