I immediately opened my eyes and looked to see who the devil entered my room and I saw... Dwayne?
"What's your problem?" I asked and I used my other leg and kicked his chest very hard but it didn't seem to affect his body.
Is his body made of steel? Why isn't he hurt?
I was about to punch his face when suddenly something fell on the floor so I looked there and saw a... woman? Who's that?
"D-Dwayne?" He asked while looking at me.
Suddenly he turned on the light so I recognized his face better
"This is not true, right?" He said this and any minute I felt that he was killing me in his brain
Wait, who is this girl? Do the two of them have a relationship with this gunggong?
Wait, what if they are in a relationship? I looked like a hook in this situation and we were really caught in the act and we were still in this position so I pushed Dwayne with all my might and quickly sat on the bed.
"Its not what you think, miss. He is harassing me, good thing that you came on time, if not, maybe what else did this man do to me" I said quickly and he fumed even more with anger and suddenly he I rushed.
Just as he was about to slap me, I suddenly got away from his slap, which is why he got even more angry
"Look, miss, if you have a relationship with this man, don't be angry with me. Be angry with him because he is only molesting me. And one more thing, you have no right to slap me. The one I consider to be a mother in an orphanage, I can't be slapped, so can you" I said annoyed as we sat together and I quickly left them in the room
"Dwayne you know how much I like you but this is what you're going to give me in return?" It was a dramatic promise and from the side of the room I could hear their conversation so I stopped and waited for Dwayne's answer
"You're just my Secretary, Shane. Nothing more, nothing less" he said and I heard someone walking so I immediately ran to the garden because I wanted to play with my cat.
When I came to the garden, the tiger was still there lying down and my two cats were next to it.
Hey, it's good that my cat has found someone close to this house.
Why did I come here to the garden? I won't do anything. I just want to escape from what happened earlier.
I want to get close to my cat because they have a tiger next to them so I just watched them from a distance.
I will really miss my cats. I will be gone for another 3 months, but I think they can be taken care of here in this mansion, so I hope that when I come back, they will be even healthier.
"What are you doing here, huh? You don't want to sleep yet?" Suddenly an unfamiliar voice asked so I looked behind me and noticed that she looked like a maid in this mansion
"I'm Lita Gonzales, one of the stewards of this house" she told me and I nodded
"I'm s----"
"You're Mary, right? I know you," Manang Lita said, making me nod
"Can't you sleep?" This is a question
"Yes, I can't sleep. I just want to get some air here" when I lied to him and it didn't seem obvious that I was just lying that's why I didn't tell the truth.
"How old is the tiger here? Why are there tigers here? I thought it was forbidden to take care of them because they are very brave especially with humans" when I changed our topic
"That tiger is 5 years old and that is the guard of the mansion" he said making me gape
Guard? What is that? Dog? Of all the possible guards, it's actually a tiger
"It's funny, they're close right away" said Manang Lita which made me smile
"It's really good that they became close. At first, I thought he was going to kill my cats," I said laughing.
"Alright, go in, you might get sick" he said so I immediately followed him because I was already feeling cold.
I hope those two are gone.
Mary's POV
Ring.. Ring.. Ring..
Suddenly my cellphone rang so I woke up from lying down and quickly grabbed my cellphone.
When I saw the caller ID, I immediately answered it because for sure if I didn't answer it immediately, my job would be in jeopardy
"Good Morning Chief Bolton" I happily greeted my caller
"Mary, tonight, everyone is being summoned to O-OJT at Oceanseal. You will have a tour inside the ship so that you can become familiar with the whole ship and remember everything inside" said Chief Bolton
"Really? All right, I'll prepare myself for later" I happily told him and quickly left my bed
"Don't be late, the tour starts at 5 pm, you should be on the ship by 4 pm. I'll just send you the location of the ship and the country we're going to while you're on the ship" he said with a wider smile I
"Alright, just 3 more to be sure, I'll be there" I promised with a laugh
"Good bye, I have a lot to attend to" he said
"Thank you Chief Bolton" I said and at the same time I hung up
I immediately looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 11 am. Looks like I slept well. It took me a while to wake up.
I left the room and found Manang Lita sweeping near my door
"Manang Lita, where is Dwayne?" I asked and he suddenly ran towards me
"Don't call Master's name. It should be Master Dwayne because if he hears you say that, your life will be in danger" this nervous response made me raise my eyebrows
"Master? What is he? Lucky? No way, I won't call him Master. Never! Never! Never! In his fūcking dreams" I said at the same time as Manang Lita had a trace of fear on her face.
"Don't be afraid of that Dwayne. He's not a god to be afraid of. He's just a human being" I told him and he shook his head as if something bad was going to happen to me.
"Manang Lita, trust me, don't be afraid of that demonic person y-----"
"Manang leave us alone"
Someone said that makes my heartbeat skip.
Did he hear that?
"Come to my bedroom. I need to talk to you" he said and suddenly ran away from me
Tsk, order to order me, I am not his maid. Oh, if you weren't holding my life, I might have beaten you.
Oh, by the way, my taekwondo is no match for him. Hmm, can I just do karate? Maybe he will run into him
"I said come with me" he said again, so I returned to my senses and quickly followed him. Maybe he will eat me alive if I don't follow him
When we entered his room, he closed it while sitting on the sofa.
"I-I have a request for you" I started as I bit my lip
"Can you find a karate instructor?" I asked and he raised an eyebrow at me
"Just for self defense purpose. There are many bad people like you, people who have bad plans for women" I told him with a fake smile
"Why would I accept your silly request?" He said tsk, if I was really strong, I would have slapped you
"Actually, that's just a joke. I was just going to say goodbye if I could leave later. I'm just going to the cruise ship to tour the whole ship" I said while bowing
"That's the reason why I want to talk to you right now" he said
Why is it? What else does it want?
"Since you will work there for the meant time. I want you to get information from a businessman called Gabriel Villafuerte" it started making me raise an eyebrow
"What am I? Order? No way. I don't even know that Gabriel and you're going to bring me there just to get information? You're too thick to order me" I said quickly and suddenly he took out a pistol and pointed it at mine
"Even if you shoot at me, you won't scare me anymore. You did that to me last time and I won't let you go" I said and suddenly the gun went off and it hit the side of the wall where I was close so I swallowed my own saliva
"Hehe, of course I'll do that. You're not kidding. What can I do to get information from him? Even if I kill him, it'll be fine" I said smiling at him and he lowered his gun so I could rest easy
It's so bad, I thought I was going to die from fear, especially with his gun.
"While on board, you need to interact with him. Make sure that you will catch his attention so that you can talk to him at ease. Be natural while talking to him so that he will fall for it. I'll give you 5 million if you succeed" he said
Huh? How can I live with that Gabriel? I'm not comfortable talking to a stranger and then he orders me around? But 5 million is a reasonable price. My cat and I can live on that much money.
"How? How can I attract his attention?" I asked and he suddenly looked at me from head to toe so my eyes widened suddenly
"Don't tell me that I will sell my body just to get close to him? No way, over my dead body, I will never use my body to get that f*cking information" I told him
"Did I mention that I will sell your body to him?" It asked and I shook my head
Oh yes, right? Sorry I just over thought. I was still wondering what it was
"What kind of information is that? Is that important?" I will ask
"Actually I just want to know if he is part of an assassin group. If he is then you will kill him and if not then stay away from him" he said making me gape
K-Kill him? is he serious I never killed someone and then he just ordered me to do that? No way, I will not kill someone for no reason and another thing, why would I kill that person when it is not my fault.
"I can't do that Dwayne. I'm not a killer like you. I have a conscience for human life, I'm not a god who can take away a life of a person. Don't make me like you who has no heart "I promise seriously
Suddenly he took out a gun again and this time he had two in his hand and pointed them both at me which made my heart beat fast.
"You know I'm a joker, of course I'll kill him. I just said earlier that even if you order me to kill him, I'll do it as long as I lend him a gun" I promised him with a smile and a wink
"Good. You may now take your leave" he said but I didn't leave and stared at him.
"My request, you haven't agreed yet" I said
"Which one? The karate instructor or the other one" he asked
"I'm leaving tonight at 4 pm" I promised
"Go ahead" he said so my smile widened as he left his room.
When I got out, I breathed a sigh of relief.
What is this wheel I entered? How can I kill that man if he is ever part of an assassin group? It's as if there is no guard who always follows him.
I've never killed someone and then he orders me to do that? Tsk, if I can kill him there so I can be free from him. I don't even know why I'm here and I'm still following his orders.
Hey, it's up to you, as long as it's important, I can go later.
After a few hours, I took a shower and got dressed. When I looked at the clock it was almost 4pm so I went to Dwayne's room to say goodbye
When I went in there was no one. Hmm, where is that?
"Master Dwayne is not here, he left a while ago" Manang Lita suddenly said to me from behind me and I just nodded to her
Good thing he's not there, I can leave without thinking about anything else.
"Are you leaving, Mary?" Manang asked and I nodded to him
"Jacob is in the garage, he will take you to the ship" he said which startled me
"Jacob? Who is that?" I asked my brain while walking down to the outside of the mansion
When I got out, a fancy car immediately stopped in front of me and it opened automatically, which amazed me. I saw the man who killed Ronald in the driver's seat.
Oh my god, I think I will die because of him.
