Dinner from Hell

She walked Finley and his son through out the crowd on the lobby while she assess every security personel nearby, their eyes trail on the trio like a hawk unmoved. She is certain they were notified to not meddle since Daniel must have want additional knowledge from her. Once again pretending to be edgy, she made it comes across she is anxious to be seen, hoping her little uneasy movement will be briefed back to him. She ought to to be seen as amateur and reluctant party, that way Daniel can helped getting her mother out of the country safely and hidden from the gang leader.

Every lifetime, she fought for her life, and everytime is Daniel that will uncovered her true self, be it in the first life or the second, its a ferocious cycle she intend to stop. She loved him, he made her feel alive however her mother safety comes before any man. Sacrificing her happiness means nothing if she can have her mother that always supporting and stand by her, she owed her that.

The three enter the elevator and once the elevator is about to close, a hand slipped to it, detecting the censor to re open the door again. Helena stood watching the familiar hand pulling back waiting for the door to open. Daniel walked in clad in his bussines suit looking dashing as always like a greek god. Both of them locked their gaze for few seconds before Helena broke it and remain expressionless.

Standing infront of her, he took a step back to be on her side when he turned looking at her with a smile. The smile that once remind her how in two lifetime she is destined to betray him.

"How was your night Ms. Lee?" He casually asked her not bothering the two father and son confused stare on them.

"It was okay" she sneered inwardly, this man almost made her collapsed last night and dare to ask how was her night.

"Good" Short and meaningful. His lips tugged and the scent from his cologne remind her again of the impulsive actions she did last night. In her pessimistic head, he was luring her in order to track the man that hired her, that is definitely why he was even doing it. She applaud him for being comitted to the task. Part of her wonder, how many women that he slept with to get the information. Shaking her head she snapped from the thoughts. 'His life is his, dont meddle or intervene' she keeps reminding herself.

The elevator ding broke out the silent inside the elevator, for what it seems less than a minute appears to be a whole entire lifetime for her. She excused herself followed by the father and son behind. Jr suspected something happened between them when he catch up to Helena,he snaked his arm on her shoulder to annoy her more since that is what he had been doing to her. Assuming her like a sister he never had. Despite she had shot his father, he figured they did kidnapped her afterall.

"Is that your suitor boss?" he whisper to her as quietly as possible.

Helena turned her head to look at Jr. arms on her shoulder and greeted by a pair of cold eyes staring at them inside the elevator. She figured Daniel must have making an appearance and trying to see it for himself about the two men for hired she met.

"What are you talking about? Do you need me to shoot your kneecap? Get your arms off me" she shook his arm of her shoulder and saw Jr. smiled showing his crooked front tooth.

Daniel arrived at his penthouse, loosening his tie and throwing his key card on the console table and walked aggressively towards the security personnel set up in his living room.

"I want eyes and ears inside the room NOW!!!"

They scramble making sure all the connections are established since they knew Daniel is not one to lose a temper and his wrath now is not something they want to linger around for long.

Armano got up from the sofa handing him the ear piece for them to be listening of their conversations.

"Is Eleanor out of the room?" He then remembered about her mother.

"Yes, we have an eyes on her" Armano spoke focusing on the monitor showing Helena sitting down facing the men.

Helena knew someone has entered the room while she was downstairs, she figured so since Daniel show up by 'accident'. This is it..she needed to cut a deal and she will make sure to succeed. Her luck starts when she gained previous Helena's memory, and the poor girl seriously was only trying to be rebel since she found out about her life and stumbled and manipulated for the group gains, just like her life before. Played, commanded, and manipulated. She was grateful for the skills Cabal has taught her, however if a life she was given is normal, there is no need for her to learn all the skills since she does not need it, like any other normal people who lived freely.

"Boss, why are you calling us back from trailing the woman"

"I needed you to do something else for me"

"What about payment? You know surveillance job is not easy?" Finley spoke, as usual he cares about money making him an easy target.

"I will doubled the payment this time"

She took out the envelope containing money and a brown colored enveloped sliding it to the duo.

Finley took the envelope and started counting the cash while Jr. Lifting the brown enveloped to see their target.

"But..boss, isnt this...."

"Yes, watch him from far, inform me of all his whereabouts, i want to know who he meet, and everyone he meets"

"Roger that"

Finley smiled after seeing the stack of cash he received for just doing the surveillance job. It is much easier than kidnapping.

"Consider it done" he said pocketing the cash.

"Now leave, i dont want anyone to see you, dont linger around here anymore, you have my burner phone number"

She got up to let them out before Eleanor returns, hoping Daniel will flag the duo and wont kill them. She figured she will save them later tonight if things go wrong.

She grabbed Jr. hand and inching close to him to whisper something in his ear.

"Update me every two hours, not early, not later, two hours"

He nodded understand of her request.

However from the side of the camera angel, they seem to be in intimate position. That does not settled well for Daniel that was watching through the monitor.

He took off his ear earpiece and needed a minute to calm down, this woman is a bane of his existence. All those years of calm amd collected composure has completely leave his body as he sees her with another man, being touch by another man. He hates this possesive feelings he has of her. She is not an object and he is not her master. He needed to either have her or forget about her, that is the only solutions he can think as of now.

"Flag them now! and question them without a fist on their face" He instructed Armano.

"Got it" Armano left with a few security to get the duo before they disappeared.
