Treachery Affair

Richmond sat behind the desk in his office, his gaze strictly fixated on the laptop on the desk. He was so engrossed in whatever he was watching and turns out that it was a video of Harley, which seems to be live. Yes, he had planted a camera in the room.

Richmond is not someone who trusts people easily, because of the nature of his job. Even after Harley had done many things these past few days to prove that she wasn’t a spy, but a helpless girl, he still found it difficult to trust her. He was still feeling like she was hiding something from him. To be sure of this, he had to implant a camera in the house where she’s staying, if only he knows that he’s no smarter than the bad girl, Harley.

Playing presently on the screen of the computer, is a video of Harley, sitting on the bed and staring into space. She seems like she had a lot going on in her mind. A smile laced up his lips, seeing her sitting down there. He knew what he was doing is kind of not normal, but he just couldn’t help it. He had grown fond of her for these few days. Who wouldn’t like the beautiful curvy girl with the perfect smile and everything about her perfect? No one indeed.

He had kept her in that secluded area for his and her own safety. Because of the nature of his job, he knows that a lot of people would be after his life, and anyone seen with him won’t be safe, so it’s better to keep her there, where no one would ever know of, except for his best friend, Craig.

He watched her for some time and when he saw that there was nothing special to watch, he sighed and picked up his ringing phone, sliding the answer button.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Good morning, sir,” He greeted whoever had called him on the phone.

“Rich, we need to see later after work, I have something for you,” A masculine voice came on from the other end.

“Alright, Sir,” He said before the call finally ended. Turning his full attention to the computer, he almost choked at the sight he beheld. There was Harley, standing half-naked in the room. It seems like she was about to take her bath. She was about to take off her bra, when he suddenly switched off the computer, breathing hard. What the heck was that?…

Meanwhile, back in Harley’s room, she stood half-naked in the room, ready to take off her bra. Of course, she did all that on purpose. As suspected, she had found the camera he implanted in the room. As much as she wanted to remove it, she knew that it would be suspicious, so she decided to use her own tricks. She knew that there would be no way Richmond would want to watch her undress.

After she was sure that he was no longer watching, she quickly reached out to her phone and dashed into the bathroom to put a call through to Jay.

Stepping into the bathroom, she dialed his number and waited impatiently for him to pick up and after what seemed like forever, he finally answered the call.

“How’s it going?” His voice rang through the phone as soon as he picked up the call as if he had been expecting her call. She scoffed angrily at his arrogance, he couldn’t even say a word of greeting.

“It’s going fine. I’m yet to know where he lives, I need to keep things slowly so he won’t suspect anything. I think he’s beginning to trust me, but I have to win his trust more,” She replied.

“Alright, just make sure that everything is intact, remember everything you were told to do,” He said and with that, the call ended. She sighed deeply, crashing her back against the wall with her eyes closed. The thought of Samir flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t help but miss him. It had been a couple of days since she left Mexico, and she had missed him a lot. She sighed and unlocked her phone, scrolling through her contacts and when she sights his phone number, she dialed it and of course, he picked up on the first ring.

“Miss me, is it?” His sweet voice sounded through the phone, and a smile slowly laced up her lips. She had missed everything about him, his smiles, his touch, and everything, she had missed all of it, and can’t wait to get done with the mission and get back there.

“Yeah. How’re you doing?” She asked.

“I’m fine and missing you too. Jay told me that the deal is all settled and you’re currently on the mission. Do not let anything distract you and make sure not to get yourself into trouble. Don’t call anyone there, I’ve heard a lot about that dude, and it seems like he’s a tough one to deal with, so you have to be extra careful,” He said with concern in his voice, and she nodded even if he could not see her.

“Hmph!” She hummed and he ended the call afterward. She kept her phone somewhere in the bathroom and had a quick bath.

Stepping out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her chest, she walked over to the bed and sat down to apply lotion to her skin. Richmond had bought her cream and some clothes. When she was done with her usual routine, she got dressed and left the room.

Stepping out of the room, she looked around the deserted place and shook her head unbelievably. She couldn’t help the scoff that tore through her throat. To think that she is now living temporarily in a place like this, she found it funny and crazy. But it’ll only be for a few months and all this will be over.

She locked the door behind her and started walking through the path that leads to the roadway. She couldn’t help wondering how he had discovered this place where he came to hide her, and his reason for bringing her here, instead of his own house. She would still find out anyway.

Walking over to the roadway, she flagged down the only cab she saw and gave the cabby her destination before hopping in the car. She was going to surprise Richmond in his restaurant.

After a few minutes of drive, the cabby finally stopped in front of the restaurant and she paid him before striding to the entrance door and stepping into the restaurant, she walked over to the counter where the waiters and waitresses were standing.

“Good day ma’am, how may I be of help, please,” One of the waitresses said, and she smiled warmly.

“I’m here to see Mr. Richmond, is he in?” She asked politely like the gentle lady she’s not.

“Do you have an appointment with him, please?” The waitress asked, and she scoffed inwardly, getting pissed off by her numerous questions. Can’t she just take her to him and stop with all the unnecessary questions?

“Cassie!” Richmond called surprisingly as he walked over to them, and she turned to face him with a smile on her face. Wondering why he had called her that? Well, she didn’t tell him her real name, but a fake one…
