CHAPTER 24: REPRESENTATIVE

The next day after that, Isaac left for a business trip. Surprising? Well yes, he's not just a Mafia Boss but an entrepreneur as well.

He owns dozens of companies in his hands, and one of them is this company that produces games.

Why did I mention that? Well, that's because of this woman right here. She claims to be one of Isaac's secretaries.

"Good morning ma'am, Mr. Trazona tasked me to brief you about your temporary role as the acting representative in his company since he's away on a business trip," she explained.

I looked at her from head to toe. She's wearing an office attire consisting of a white polo, and brown vest partnered with skinny brown pants. Her hair was tied up in a bun, she was not wearing any form of makeup aside from lip balm, and lastly, she was wearing glasses while straight up looking at me.

"So let me get this straight, my husband told you that he wants me to act as the boss while he's away. Is that right?"

"Affirmative," her speech is kinda suspicious. She talks just like a soldier, I better ask Hudson later to run a few background checks on her.

Anyway, since I had no choice I entered Isaac's room through the connected doors from our room.

I went through his closet and chose a few suits that could fit me. Fortunately, I found something that suits my taste plus the fact that it fits me just right.

With that said, we're already on our way to the company, she introduced herself to me earlier by the way.

"Mrs. Trazona, should I brief you about your schedule for today?" Amor asked.

"Let's do that later after we arrive. Anyway, who's that car who has been following us?"

She looked at the side of her eyes and then at me, "If I do suspect, it's one of Mr. Trazona's cousins. Ms Amethyst perhaps," she explained.

Amethyst? That jolly girl maybe?

When we arrived in front of the company, she came out the same as I am. And as Amor expected it really was Amethyst.

Her eyes gleamed the moment she saw me get out of the car. She punched me and hugged me like we hadn't seen each other for years.

"Oh my god! I thought it was Blaze who was in the car! I didn't think it was you! Where is that cousin of mine?"

"Good morning Miss Amethyst, Mr. Trazona is currently on a business trip. She asked Mrs. Trazona to fill in his place for the time being," Amor explained.

Amethyst face changed in shock, "He left you alone to manage this big company?! Well that won't do!" she said and pouted.

"Let's go in! I'll join you! Is that okay Amor?" she asked with her eyes twinkling.

Amor closed her eyes and nodded, "But I'll be informing the boss first. If he approves then you can continue but if not then we have no choice. But for now, you can join Mrs. Trazona with her work," she said diplomatically.

I heaved a sigh and massaged my temples. What a pain in the ass.

As we went inside all eyes were on us, well on me actually. Their eyes were boring on me as if they were judging my whole existence.

Tsk. Who cares? I ignored their silent judgment and went straight to Isaac's office.

My eyes roved around his office and one thing was on my mind. Too plain tsk. Doesn't he know anything about interior design?

"Ugh! This place still looks gloomy every time I see it," Amethyst said with disgust. Well, she's not wrong about that, I totally agree with her.

I sat on his swivel chair and looked at his table. He has our wedding photo in here. That's surprising.

Well, it's not like I'm happy about that though, and I look grumpy in this photo.

Amor suddenly knocked on the door and came in afterward with my schedule in her hands.

"Good day, I'll be briefing you with your schedule for today. For starters you'll be having a board meeting along with the investors to introduce yourself as Mr. Trazona's substitute for the next few days," she said and looked at both of us.

When her eyes landed on Amethyst she stopped," Miss Amethyst, I just inquired about your suggestion with the boss and sadly he declined your offer. He said he trusts his wife can do a great job while he's away," she said and formes a triumphant smile.

Amethysts pouted and crossed her arms.

"On to the next agenda, you have a meeting with a possible partnership on a project with Toyable Inc. They sent their representative to meet you personally. I already reserved a table at a fancy restaurant, I'll brief you later with whatever you need to know about this guy, " I nodded my head and waited for her other remarks.

She explained whatever I needed to remember and what I should or not do. And now we're off to our first agenda, the meeting with the board.

I never experienced something like this even in my past life but there is something I am proud of, I'm best when it comes to undercover.

So to properly execute my role, I'll just think of this as a part of a mission and I'm tasked to pretend as a rich CEO's wife who is supposed to act as their boss.

When we reached the room, I found old men and women waiting for me there, I saw someone familiar but that could wait.

I stepped onto the platform and stood proudly. With my chin held high and my expression just like my husband's.

I looked at them one by one and waited for a few seconds but they didn't do anything.

I clicked my tongue in annoyance. HA! They're underestimating me. Just because I'm Isaac Blaze Trazona's wife.

I crossed my arms and looked down at them. "I'm waiting for your greetings," I said with my coldest voice.

My eyes landed on this one man and as soon as he saw I was looking at me he looked away and hovered in fear.

That's more like it. After a second, they greeted me and we proceeded with the introductions as per Amor's queue.

After that, I quickly went back inside Isaac's office but found a very familiar man standing right at the door.

Those hair, those built I've seen that before! And when mean before, I mean when I was Aizen. When he looked back and locked eyes with mine, I confirmed my suspension. It really is him! What the bloody hell is he doing here?!

I kept my poker face until we were finely in front of each other.

This man...

Lincoln Santos.

My step-brother in my past life.

I never met him but I saw him on photos from my dad's table.

"Hi! You must be Mrs. Trazona! Did I come in too early?" he introduced himself and looked at me apologetically.

I faked a smile and shook my head. I may not have met him but I know for sure he doesn't like me. Those eyes are clearly saying he wants to kill me right now but he can't.

This man, how did he manage to land a deal with Isaac when he had this hidden intention?

Is he part of another organization? Or is he one of Isaac's enemies?

"Why don't we head inside?" I said and walked in first.

My smile disappeared when I turned my back on him. As soon as I sat on my chair I grabbed a revolver and loaded it secretly under the table.

"Now tell me Mr.?"

"Ah! Lincoln Santos! It's Lincoln Santos, ma'am," he said and extended his hand for a handshake.

I smiled and shook it, "Kamila will do, no need to be too formal,"

His smile looked broken. Anyway, he doesn't really hide his expression that much, who sent this one? He's too easy to predict.

He started yapping about the new game that we are about to develop together if ever I sign the contract.

Frankly I don't even understand anything about whatever he is saying, all I'm concerned about is why he is here. I'm sure he didn't just come here to brief me about that stupid game, he has another plan under his sleeve.

Amor was taking note beside me, he was still yapping when I sensed danger coming our way rapidly.

What is this? Another missile? I was about to tell Lincoln to stop for the time being but he suddenly stood up and ran towards me.

I grabbed a kunai and was ready to plunge it into him in case he did anything...

But I was surprised when he enveloped me with a hug and the next thing I knew, I heard a gunshot and Lincoln was already lying on the ground with blood stains on his coat.

What? Did he just save me? Why?

"Call an ambulance now!"
