Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Leslie was asleep when someone called her, Godfather wanted to see her.

"You wanted to see me, Godfather.

"Yes, Millie you may leave, she bowed in sign of respect and left.

"We were able to infiltrate through Becky's tight gang after many years of failure.

"I see, but how?

"Through Proxy Warfare, we have been supporting unhappy sanctions in her family, and it have paved a way, the question is, we have a plan but would you like it?

"I have to know the plan first.

"True.

"The plan?

"You have to work as a maid in Becky's house, Godfather stared at Leslie's face hoping she will shout or rant or anything but she didn't say anything.

"Alright.

"Okay, my secretary will fill you in, you will stay in Becky's house for a year or more and gather enough info before we strike.

"Understood.

"You may leave, she bowed and left, Godfather watched her leave and thought again about the plan.

"Let's see how Shadow handles this mission.

 He looks through his table and noticed some of his reports were missing.

"Miss Millie, get me the recent report on Lin & Sons Ltd, he spoke through his intercom.

"Yes sir.

* * * 

Allen (Godfather's son, hit-man; good in martial arts, swords and guns.), He saw Leslie coming from a distance, he has a crush on Leslie since when he they were teenagers but Leslie never acknowledged his feelings.

"Hey, greeted Allen trying to start a conversation but, Leslie walked past him, he watched her leave without a reply.

"Still snobbish, he muttered sadly. Zoey watched from a distance, jealous and angry.

 Zoey walked towards him hoping he will acknowledge her, she had dressed up extra special but Allen never noticed her, since his attention happens to be always on Leslie, she had even stared at the mirror for half an hour practicing what she will say to Allen.

"Good day, Junior Boss, Zoey greeted, trying to be calm.

"I prefer you all call me Allen, I'm human just like you.

"But you are more powerful.

"True, what's your name?

"Zoey.

"How come I never met you? he looks at her for the first time, his eyes met hers.

"But you have now.

"True, true, he chuckled alittle.

-ohh my goshhh, did Allen just laughed because, I said something funny?

 Zoey looked composed but her insides were dancing, Allen finds her funny, she was going to mark today as a good day.

"Excuse me Sir, but Godfather wants to see you, a bodyguard whispered to his ear.

"Okay; anyways I have to go now, you seem lively and funny, see you around.

"Alright Junior Boss, Zoey replied. Allen left with the bodyguard, Zoey dancing for joy.

"I guess Zoey the perfectionist can be weird too, spat out Zini (a hit-woman; good in martial arts and swords.)

"What are you staring at Zini?

"Sorry, sorry, but stop calling people weird since you are weird yourself.

"I don't have your time, since I'm in a good mood.

"Because Allen talked to you?

"Were you watching us?

"Chill, I was just passing by, just don't over think it, he has Leslie.

"What are you trying to say? Huh?!

"It's just an advice girl.

"I didn't ask.

"Oh...ok.

"Whatever, Zoey left not wanting to stay a minute extra since it reminded her of the truth, as long as Leslie is here, Allen will never think of any other woman, and that truth was a bitter pill for Zoey to swallow.
