Treachery Affair

“I forgot to tell you that making calls here isn’t allowed,” He said in his usual cold voice, walking over to her, while having her phone in his hand.

Snapping out of her trance, she stood up and turned to face him angrily, glaring at him.

“Give me back my phone, now!” She snapped at him angrily. He had been trying to tolerate him, but he keeps pushing her to the wall, and it seems like he was never going to give up frustrating her.

“Meet me in the basement, we have meeting in a few minutes. You wouldn’t want to be late,” He said ignoring her yell and with that, he dropped her phone on the bed and started heading to the door, but stopped in his track by her voice.

“I’m not your slave here, Jay! I came to work for you and you should treat me like the guest that I am, and not a slave! I don’t blame you but Samir that sent me here. First, you barged into the room like it’s yours, not once and not twice, who the heck does that? I know this is your house, but you already gave me this room to live in and therefore your right to it is now limited, you can’t be barging into my room like that, I am a woman, remember? Even if you don’t respect me as your worker, at least as a woman!” She yelled at him angrily, fuming. She had tried to tolerate him, but it seems like he was just hell-bent on frustrating her, and she was not going to let that happen.

“I’d advise you to stop wasting your energy on yelling. I don’t know what respect is, I only know how to be respected and not how to give it out to people. You heard when I told you that we’re having a meeting, you wouldn’t wanna be late, trust me,” He said and with that, he pulled the door open and walked out of the room, while she stood glaring at the closed door, her hands balled into fists beside her.

She scoffed angrily, turning around to sit on the dresser.

Hours later…

Inside the large room were some men dressed in all black, sitting around a large table. On the wall of the room, is a big TV which wasn’t displaying any images.

Minutes later, the door suddenly rolled open and Jay walked inside elegantly, maintaining the usual aura. He was dressed in black leather pants, a pair of black boots, and a leather jacket was fitted on the upper part of his body. His thick black hair was flopping over his forehead while having a face cap on, a sunglass was resting on his face. He walked elegantly and gracefully to the remaining empty chair and sat down.

“Greetings, master,” They all bowed their heads and greeted him, while he ignored them as usual.

“Let me introduce to you today, a temporary new member…” He said, diverting his attention to where Harley was sitting.

“Harley,” He finished his statement and they were all quiet as usual.

“The reason she’s here is because of detective Richmond,” Law K said in his usual cold voice.

Alex stood up and walked over to where the remote was laying and picking it up, he pressed it and the TV switched on. After a few minutes, it finally displayed a picture of a man.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Now let’s get down straight to business. To you, Harley. First is the rules of the Jay’s cartel group. The rules go as thus; Talking to someone outside the group isn’t allowed, as it increases the chances of betrayal, you must not leak the secret of the group to anyone, and if you’re found out to violate the rule, there’ll be no second chance as death will be the only penalty. Jay doesn’t have ‘second chance’ or ‘forgiveness’ in his laws, so you have to trend with care,” Alex explained to Harley, who rolled her eyes inwardly.

“According to the information that was sent to you, I’ll explain better for you to understand them. Richmond is an undercover detective that no one knows of his identity as an undercover. Everyone knows him to be a CEO at a restaurant. He owns a restaurant downtown where he makes a living aside from being a detective. He goes out as early as 6:30am every day and returns home as late as 11pm. According to the information I gathered, he does his investigation at night,” Alex explained, before walking over to the TV and pressing the remote, and the screen flipped to another picture of a young lady.

“This is Cleopatra Gary, his ex-girlfriend. Cleo and Richmond were in a relationship for three years before they broke up last five months and presently, he’s single and lives alone. From the information I gathered from Cleo, she disclosed that Richmond never gave her time at some point, which I assume to be at the time he started working as a detective. She couldn’t cope with the relationship anymore, and decided to call it a quit,” Alex explained, while Harley wondered how he managed to know the Cleo girl and how she’d tell him all of this.

“Cleo confirmed Richmond to be someone caring and soft at heart, he’d protect her, but the only problem she was having with him was the time that he never gave her. He has oral allergy syndrome, he doesn’t like fresh vegetables because he’s also allergic to them. Now, this is where the information comes to help. I’ve planned everything, how you’re going to deal with this has all been taken care of, so there’ll be not much stress. Just find any possible means to get close to Richmond, at least two months will be enough to do that. Mind you, he can easily detect who you are, so you have to be extra careful in dealing with him,” He finally concluded and Harley nodded.

“He goes to the casino every Wednesdays of the week as a gambler, but he’s actually there for investigations,” He added and she nodded, observing the picture displaying on the screen of the computer.

“Master, the deal has been sealed with Kai, and the package will be delivered soon as per your order,” One of them stood up and said.

“Donalds reported that the deal is all settled. The drugs have been sent to the company that’ll supply Clint’s empire with wine. It’ll be in the wine as per your order. He’s just waiting for your next order to be given before it’s finally imported here,” Another stood up and said.

“Alex…” Jay called.

“Master…” He replied.

“Send words to Donalds to order the release of the wine. Direct it straight to the brewing station underground and make sure that they do the extraction within forty-eight hours before the wine is sent to the company. No mistake this time around,” Jay finally spoke up.

“Yes, master…” Alex replied and with that, he stood up and walked out of the room…
