CHAPTER 4 TRANSACTION OF DRUGS
“I’m sorry, I thought she didn’t have a boyfriend. I’m leaving.” he said and left in front of Rhianna. She turned to look at Leonardo who was pissed with his arms folded.
“You shouldn’t have professed that to him, the man was embarrassed. He was just being nice to me and he wants to know me.” Rhianna replied. Of course, what’s wrong if she is acquainted with a man. He looked at her from looking at the man leaving the store.
“You run away, right? You should be careful with the people you talk to and socialize with. You shouldn’t just trust them easily.” he answered seriously.
Rhianna was stunned. He is right. Why Rhianna didn’t think of that? She shouldn’t be talking to anyone. Leo took in her hand the basket she was holding that’s containing her purchases.
“Let’s pay for it. So we can leave. I’m going to Head Quarters. We’ll do some training.” he said and walked towards the Counter. Rhianna followed Leo.
“Can I come with you?” she asked him.
He turned to Rhianna and looked back in the front. They were lined up now, about five more people before they reached the front. Leo didn’t answer Rhianna. Why is he so rude?
Earlier, he did not want Rhianna to be a member of their organization. Now, as if he did not want Rhianna to go to Head Quarters for his training. Rhianna left the queue and waited for Leo on the side. He was in the front, he put the basket on the counter and the Cashier scanned it.
After the cashier scanned the items, Leo immediately paid for it. The Cashier handed over Rhianna’s purchase which Leo paid for. He turned around and went to where Rhianna was. He passed her. That is, Rhianna should have followed him. They exited the store and headed for his car parked in the parking lot.
He opened the back of the car and placed the purchases there. How can she pay Leo? Nor is it a joke that he paid for his purchases. Rhianna entered the passenger’s seat while Leo was in the driver’s seat.
“How can I pay for the clothes you bought for me?” she asked Leo.
“No need. That’s fine with me. I don’t ask for compensation when I help someone.” Leo replied.
But Rhianna did not agree with what he said. Suddenly an idea entered her mind of how she could pay for all that Leo had helped him with. She can serve in his house.
They were in the middle of their journey when Leo’s cellphone suddenly rang on the dashboard of the car. He picked it up and answered, putting it to his ear.
“Agent Jerald. Is there a problem?” Leo asked. Rhianna focused her eyes on the outside of the car but focused her hearing on Leo.
“We’re from there and we’ve already made our way back home. Rhianna and I will be back there, Agent.” Leo said to Agent Jerald on the other line. Rhianna no longer heard Leo’s voice, he was probably listening to what Agent Jerald was saying.
“I’ll take care of Rhianna. Maybe the man can escape. All right, we’ll just wait for Brandon at Gigi’s Carenderia.” Leo said and threw the cellphone back on the dashboard.
“We need to go back to town, there’s a drug transaction there. At Gigi’s Carenderia. Brandon is already on his way to town.” he said and Leo slue back to where they came from. They are already on their way back to the town where the drug transaction will happen.
“How did Agent Jerald find out that there was a transaction there?” Rhianna asked him curiously. She was impressed by how Agent Jerald knew about the transaction of drugs. Leo looked at her and looked back at the road.
“You don’t have to know it. It’s better that you don’t know, maybe when you’re caught. You’ll denounce.” Leo replied to her.
Rhianna’s ear tingled at what she heard. What does he think of Rhianna? Idiot? In case the enemy catches her, she will not denounce the people who saved her. She would rather die than fink them. Besides, Rhianna feels that Leo won’t let her hurt. Why did that immediately enter her mind?
How could she be sure that he could save Rhianna from disasters? Don Ysmael’s men are looking for her now. She hopes he doesn’t involve her mother and sister. Because they knew nothing of her escape.
“I can’t harm you, and I know you can save me from disasters, Leo.” those were the words that came out of Rhianna’s mouth.
**
Their car stopped at a Carinderia. She read what was written above the Carinderya, Gigi’s Carenderia. This is where the drug transaction will happen. Leo immediately got out of the car, and she followed him. They went inside, they sat at the empty table in the corner. There were also a few people who were inside and eating. An old woman wearing an apron approached them and handed them the menu, Leo took it.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked at Leo, he was looking at the menu. A few seconds passed and he handed the menu to the old woman. The old woman left immediately. Leo looked around as if he is looking for the target. Suddenly his cellphone rang that was placed on the table. He answered the call. He just listens to what the caller is saying.
“All right, Agent Jerald. Copy.” he replied.
“What did you say?” Rhianna asked Leo.
He just looked at Rhianna as if he was saying “you don’t have to know it”, she decided not to ask. It’s better that she shouldn’t ask it.
“Who am I for you to trust me.” she whispered. She’s just really annoyed!
“What did you say?” he asked and looked at her with a frown. That’s when their order came without even being asked what she wanted.
“I said, what you ordered for me looks delicious.” she replied as a girl placed Leo’s order on the table.
“Tsk.” that’s all he answered.
What makes him angry again? Rhianna decided not to pay attention to what he said. She took the food that was for her. Menudo is the dish for both of them. He didn’t even bother to change the other dish.
Leo also took the food that was for him. He sipped the broth. She looked at the time on the Carinderia’s clock. It is noon. They used to eat at home, but now they are in the Carinderia because of a transaction.
Rhianna looked at the man who entered the Carinderia. He was thin and tall, her hair was messy, and he didn’t even bother to comb his hair. He looked around, and when he saw an empty table next to them, he sat there. She looked at Leo, he is also looking at the man who just entered the Carinderia.
Rhianna didn’t pay attention to the man. Maybe he has a problem so that’s how he acted. She just focused on what she was eating. The Menudo is delicious. She roamed her eyes in the whole Carinderia, there were already many people inside the Carinderia who were eating lunch. Anyway, it’s noon already. It’s lunchtime.
Rhianna averted her gaze at the entrance when a tall man entered, wearing a black jacket and black pants, he was also wearing shades. He went to the seat next to them where the man was sitting. Leo handed her his cellphone.
“Auntie texted me, She wants to tell you something.” Leo said.
What? Who’s Auntie he was talking about? To know what he wanted to convey. She picked up his cellphone and read what was on the screen.
‘Don’t call Brandon when he arrives. Just shut up. Just watch. I’ll tell you later what you should do.’
That’s what he typed on his cellphone. Maybe she didn’t notice that Leo was typing because her attention was on the man who just entered the Carinderia. She was annoyed by what he said. As if he wants to see her mouth so that she can’t speak.
She continued eating, while Leo was busy typing on his cellphone. Rhianna saw a man familiar to her enter the Carinderia. It was Brandon!
“Hello guys, I’m sorry I’m late.” Brandon said when he got close to them.
Brandon sat in the vacant seat at their table. He looked at Leo meaningfully. Leo suddenly stood up and went to the table next to them.
Leo had something in his pocket. A gun! Rhianna’s eyes widened at what she saw. He pointed the gun at the man who was wearing black shade. Suddenly, people shouted inside the Carinderia, some came out and others hid under the table.
“No one will act badly! We’re agents!” Leo shouted.
The thin man raised his hand out of sheer fear. Leo’s voice was frightening. His voice was very different when he was talking to her.
Brandon suddenly stood up. Before Brandon could get close to them, she noticed that the man Leo was aiming the gun had taken something from his pocket. His hand was hidden under the table so Leo didn’t notice it. When he took it out of his pocket, it was a knife. Before Brandon could even get close to Leo. She immediately stood up and approached the man.
The guy wasn’t looking at Rhianna, because his attention is on Leo. She immediately kicked his hand that was holding the knife before he could stab Leo. He let go of the knife and he hold his hand that Rhianna had kicked. He stood up.
“How dare you!” he shouted. But Leo immediately punched him in the stomach. He curses because he felt pain due to what Leo has done to him. Brandon approached the thin man and pointed the gun at him.
Rhianna immediately spotted a white car outside the Carinderia. Harold and Alexandra come out in the car. They went to where Rhianna, Brandon, and Leo were and handcuffed the two men.
