145 Visiting Alanis (1/2)

Sabrina sat down on the sofa after she put down a gift for Alanis. Alanis look at it and then laughed. He was a handsome English man but too shame that Sabrina wasn't fond of English men. Alanis took the box and opens it. It's a clock. An antique clock. He crease his brow but it was the first gift that he ever received from her.

”So, what's up with your visit today, Mrs. Lawson?”

”Tell me people who want Catriona's head.” She finally speak and Alanis was surprised. He didn't speak and just stare straight at her. Sabrina was mad now. She's so angry that she had to speak up.

”Well, you can speak.”

”Of course I can. I am just so lazy to write up things. Now, my voice could only hold few conversation so you better speak up, Alanis. Give me names.” She said it in her very powerful tune.

”Well, first is Francisco—but he never recognize her full face. He just want to know the dancer that danced in his underground club. He was certain that it was an undercover police. Then there's your ex-agent Eros… Eros pulled out immediately, that was few days ago. He said that he's satisfied with the outcome.”

Sabrina gripped on the arm of the sofa as she listened.

”So what's with this cheap antique clock?” He asked. She didn't speak and General speak for her.

”That one was your great grandfather's. It cost 1 million euros. It was antique but the two gems from 12 and six was his possession.”

”Shame, grandpa has long been rotting in ground. But thank you dear for your gift. I am sure that my father would love this.”

She wave off her hand saying that it was nothing.

”It's good hearing your voice.”

”Let me know if there are others who wants her head.” She mutter and stood.

”That's it?” Alanis asked. ”That's it for chit-chat?”

She only glance at him and then she left with her people. Alanis was happy that she finally speaks to him. Not only a word or a phrase but it was a good conversation. He was in the moon. Her voice was soothing. Her voice was powerful. Her voice was angelic. It could be any of it—according to her tune. But shame—he was sure that Gabriel was one hell of a lucky man who could always hear her voice. He stood and peep out of the window and she's talking on the phone and it seems like she's talking to Gabriel—baby talking her husband.

”Huh,” He exhales. ”What a beautiful day, is it?” He asked his right hand that serves as his butler, assistant and personal body guard. The big man cleared his throat.

”It is, Sir.”

”Good.”

Sabrina hopped in the car and they drove away. She told her husband that she's coming home in two hours. She have settled things here in London and she will settle Catriona's hide out. She might need Gabriel then.

There might be someone spying on her in EPUA. She has to be discreet and she could only trust her husband. For Catriona and Tequila's safety. She will make few of their contract void. She had imprisoned them for long. Except that they are still an agent in EPUA. They could always go back until they are ready.

After hours of travelling back from Europe to Philippines, the first thing she saw when her private plane landed was her husband waiting for her with a car. The ambiance and the cozy wind of the Philippines made her realised that she was indeed back in the country. It felt like ages for her. Gabriel spread his arms for her and she run into them.

”My dear wife, you are finally back.” He kiss her top head. He push her a little just to see her face. ”Oh,” She lose weight a little. ”No. Why did you lose weight?” There is a slight dark circle under her eyes. He kisses her lips. ”Let's go. You need a proper doting.”
