A Mysterious Headquarters
The two armed men had been neutralized, yet the tension along the coastline had not entirely dissipated. The sound of crashing waves echoed like the suspenseful score of a horror film. Meanwhile, Almero continued to study Dimas with a searching gaze."Don't you trust me, Almero?" Dimas asked, his face still deathly pale."I do trust you. Now, go home; I’ll assign some guards to stand watch outside your residence," Almero replied, his expression carrying a deeper, unspoken meaning."But what if they try to harm me? What should I do, Almero?" Dimas asked, his face etched with fear."The guards I’m assigning to you aren't just ordinary men! They are highly trained—you’ll be safe with them," Almero said, placing his hands firmly on Dimas’s shoulders, attempting to reassure his close friend."I believe you. I’ll go home with them—but please, take care of yourself, Almero," Dimas said, his eyes revealing his deep concern.Almero watched as Dimas climbed into a car, while one of the guards t
Almero's Suspicions of Dimas
“Almero, I'm really scared. Why do they keep staring at me?” Dimas said, his hands trembling.“That's why I didn't want to tell you anything important, I was afraid they would target you,” Almero said. He suspected the gunmen were targeting Dimas because he was so close to him.“I don't want to die here,” Dimas said, his voice trembling in the air.“I won't let them hurt you,” Almero said in a low, but firm voice. “Just trust me,” Almero said, still trying to calm his good friend.Dimas swallowed hard. His hands clenched into fists under the table, while his gaze never left the four men who were now drawing closer. Dimas never imagined he would experience something like something out of an action movie. But this time, the scene was so tense that it made Dimas' face pale like a living corpse. "Almero, they're carrying weapons. We have to get out of here now before it's too late," Dimas said, his breath catching in his throat."I can't." Almero glanced around, clearly seeing no way out
Why They're Targeting Dimas
Almero had just emerged from the main lobby and saw Dimas waiting for him in front of the company. The man waved and smiled cheerfully at him.“Have you been waiting too long?” Almero asked, standing in front of Dimas.“Of course not, sir,” Dimas replied formally when they were inside the company.“How about we go on your bike?” Almero asked, noticing Dimas's shocked expression.“What?” Dimas asked, his eyes wide with surprise.“Do you mind giving me a ride like before?” Almero asked, raising an eyebrow.“N-no, that's not what I meant,” Dimas said, scratching his head. “I thought you'd be embarrassed if I rode with you on that beat-up motorcycle,” Dimas said with a sheepish smile.Almero was about to answer, but seconds later, he decided against it when he heard Caroll's voice interrupt him.“Where are you guys going?” Caroll asked Almero. "Can I come with you?" she continued with a warm smile.Dimas continued to watch Caroll, and her eyes had been fixed solely on Almero, as if he wa
Something Strange Happened
Upon reaching the top floor of the building, the elevator doors opened, and Almero stepped out. He walked down the long, quiet hallway. The top floor was indeed sparsely populated, and this floor was reserved for shareholders and Mr. Valton alone.Almero paused for a moment when he saw a man emerge from Mr. Valton's office, dressed in a janitor's uniform. The janitor stood frozen in place for a few seconds after noticing Almero in the hallway.Almero could clearly guess that the man had no idea he was there, and he didn't think someone was secretly spying on him. Luckily, Almero had finished his lunch early enough to catch the janitor leaving his father-in-law's office.Almero resumed his steps, and the janitor resumed his steps, his head lowered as if afraid of being discovered. Just as the janitor was about to pass, Almero suddenly blocked his path, staring at him inquisitively."What were you doing in Mr. Valton's room?" Almero asked, watching the janitor's hands as they carried h
A Series of Threats
“Honey, I'm going to eat with Dimas at the usual place. Is it okay if you eat with Dad?” Almero asked in a low voice. Although there were no listening devices in Edeline's office, he still had to be on guard.Edeline didn't answer immediately, but instead folded her arms across her chest, giving her a searching look. Seconds later, Edeline spoke up. “Is it really just the two of us?”“Yes, I've always eaten alone with her,” Almero said matter-of-factly.“If it's just the two of you, then why is Caroll always there?” Edeline asked with a sullen expression.Almero frowned after hearing his wife's words. He now realized that she was jealous and didn't like seeing him sitting at the same table with Caroll, even though Dimas was with them. He immediately grabbed his wife's hand and pulled her up from her sitting position. He then escorted her backward, cornering her against the wall. “Are you jealous, Miss?” Almero asked, his hand already groping his wife’s bottom.Edeline bit her lower l
The Mysterious Box
Valton remained silent, thoughtful. It wasn't that he didn't trust Father Phillips; he was simply no longer young. Valton feared something bad had happened to his former bodyguard. On the other hand, there was no one else he could trust to lead this search besides Father Phillips.Almero glanced around and his gaze landed on a shadow at the end of the hallway. He frowned, trying to discern who was eavesdropping on their conversation. A moment later, Almero grinned and deliberately interrupted Valton."Mr. Valton, may I speak before you make a decision?" Almero said, gesturing with his hand.Edeline, Valton, and Father Phillips immediately turned their gazes to Almero. The three of them fell silent for a moment, their faces expressionless, but then they realized the gesture in Almero's hand—it indicated that someone was listening in. Father Phillips and Valton exchanged glances and then nodded faintly."Just say it," Valton said without hesitation. "I don't think we can let Father Phi
