The two supposed couples walked into a hotel, each scanning the room searching for someone. They walked into a hall where a meeting was taking place among affluent personnel. Miss Lucy was the first to take her seat as she glanced at Brian who stood next to her.
“Why did you bring me here?” She whispered.
“You're quite familiar to the woman speaking…” He whispered back as miss Lucy observed the old woman.
“That's Mrs Jones” she replied, sighing.
“What's her profession?”. Miss Lucy scoffed, wasn't Brian a businessman and meant to know about such affluent people?
“Secret profession actually” he added.
“Smuggles drugs” miss Lucy replied glaring at the woman who made a speech. Brian knew that a part of Miss Lucy's past was attached to this woman.
“Is that why we're here?”
“Since we both got involved with Rodger, why don't we work together?”. Miss Lucy faked a smile and looked away.
“Seems like a good one, but my demands are pretty high” she posed, crossing her leg over the other.
“That's a yes…so just listen to the plan”
Two guards stood by a secret passage way that seemed hidden underground. Miss Lucy cart walked gently in alert of whom might suspect her movement but ahead of her, three guards were walking towards her direction and she immediately quacked her leg.
“Argh” she wailed, falling to the ground and the three ran up to her. Brian sneaked behind them, he had been busy with CCTV surveillance so that they wouldn't be watch. This passage path needed a password but through the help of a scanner for fingerprints, he got inside and found another door, there it needed a master key. Seems he was already prepared for this, he got inside and found some group of young girls tied down to be sold in other countries. They were in tears and had given up. He couldn't believe what he saw and quickly, he untied them. Miss Lucy had run inside the building to get Brian a notification that they should hurry. They were able to set the girls free and led them through the back door.
“Did you find what you were looking for?” Miss Lucy asked, running behind the girls.
“No but lives matters first” he responded and miss gave him a smile secretly.
“I eliminated the guards behind just in case we got caught” miss Lucy added.
“Nice one” he commented, smiling at her. His smile was genuine this time that if he had ever smiled to her before.
Brian handed miss Lucy a coffee, she had turned sad all of a sudden on sighting those girls and how they shouted freedom. They were going to be used for prostitution, which was the worst nightmare. Brian had promised to despatch those that had families
to their families and those who had no one, miss Lucy promised to provide a better job. She collected the coffee from him and sniffed with pain in her chest.
“What do you think about me?” She muttered in a mockery tone, expecting him to say the most horrible things about her.
“I don't know, I haven't spent much time with you” he responded, sitting close to her.
“I know, the woman with different face…stop acting like though you don't know”.
“hmm… I don't think so…you hide several things that you trust no one to share with” Brian responded, sipping his coffee.
“Yeah because I would be despised” she beckoned. Brian locked her palm in his and stared at her.
“You could tell me, I promise to keep it secret” he assured, hoping she tells him what he always wanted to know. Miss Lucy sipped her coffee too and removed her palm from his. She held her coffee with her hands.
“It's okay…”
“Well how would you make heaven when you die… holding on to such would just pile up and end your life” he mocked
“Boss?” She called and he smirked at her.
“That word seems like it's been forced out of your lips…just call me Brian!” He snapped, and she began to laugh so hard that tears began to flow down.
“Cry it out, breath in and out, hold on pain ends but never you cry again over the past” Brian advised standing up but miss Lucy held his hand and hugged him tightly. She just needed a warm hug, no words but just a hug and a passionately kiss. Brian wrapped his hand around her waist and cuddled her. They returned home quite late and the spy in the house was already fast asleep, which meant she was the wrong person for such task.
“We have to share a room to avoid suspicion” Brian suddenly said as miss Lucy turned to gaze at him.
“It's okay, I don't want to…besides, you weren't interested” she replied attempting to walk away, but Brian held her hand and scoffed.
“It's a contract, and we act according to it” he snapped. Miss Lucy gasped, staring at him.
“What kind of acting?..the romantic scene or the arrogant one… it's obvious the guys are the mean ones and…”
“Seriously Lucy, stop creating a scene if at night, what will ever shut you up?” he beckoned, annoyed by what she was saying. Brian was still holding on to her hand and didn't even realize he was. She was just a step away from him, and she drew closer while kissing him. Brian widened his eyes, surprised, as she pulled her lips from him and sighed.
“I'm sorry…” She muttered and bite her lips. Brian stood mute and then scoffed.
“Is that what would keep you silent?” He asked as he gazed at her. She was looking embarrassed and just wanted to walk out.
“You kiss badly…how did you ever get a chance to be a star?” He teased.
“Excuse me?" She asked, surprised as Brian pulled her to himself and kissed her passionately while she groaned with pleasure, wrapping her arms around his neck as a smiling face got her. He terminated the kiss and stared at her, not knowing what he even kissed her. Guess her wish came true.
