CHAPTER 26 Agent Jerald Comeback
Rhianna was disgusted! She’s so disgusted. Leo didn’t even come here to her room to explain why he lied to her. Rhianna pulled her hair out in extreme annoyance! Rhianna suddenly felt thirsty so she decided to get up from lying down and go to the kitchen to drink some water.
Rhianna left the room. When she came out, the door of Leo’s room opened just in time and Leo came out. Their eyes met. Rhianna immediately averted her eyes and headed to the kitchen. She feel like Leo followed her but she just let him. Leo might as well go to the kitchen.
When Rhianna got to the kitchen. She immediately went to the water dispenser to get water. When she finished taking it, Rhianna was about to drink it when Leo suddenly spoke.
“Excuse me, I’ll get some water too.” he said. Rhianna frowned at what he said.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Rhianna was hurt by what he said, it’s like they don’t know each other. She sidesteps to give him space to get water. That’s the pain she’s feeling again. It hurts Rhianna so much that her body feels numb. She just leaned on the table while holding the glass of water. Rhianna can’t drink because she feels that Leo looking at her.
“Drink that. You might be thirsty. Come with me tomorrow because Agent Jerald is coming. He will lead us.” he said and placed the glass in the container after drinking. Rhianna could do nothing but drink that. When she finished that, she put the glass in the container.
“No. I’ll talk to Brandon,” Rhianna said.
“How can you tell him to pick you up?” he asked. She was shocked by what he said. By the way, Rhianna doesn’t have a cellphone. How can Rhianna contact Brandon? She held out his hand in front of Leo.
“Lend me a cellphone and I’ll call him.” Rhianna demanded. She wants to applaud herself for the courage she showed him. He’s in arrears, not her. Rhianna has nothing to be ashamed of.
“I won’t lend it. You’ll go with me if you don’t want to and if you want to.” he said and left in front of her. Arrggghhh! Her annoyance increased even more. Rhianna sighed to get rid of the annoyance she had been feeling now. Rhianna wants to avoid Leo but she can’t. Why is he torturing Rhianna like this?
–
When she got dressed, Rhianna immediately left the room. She found Leo sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading a magazine while he was waiting for her. She couldn’t help but stare at him. Even though Rhianna’s still annoyed, the admiration she feels for him is still there and that doesn’t go away. Maybe that’s how it is when you love someone. No matter how many shortcomings he had, you can still forgive him.
“Stop staring at me, Rhianna.” he said.
Rhianna flinched, he notice her looking at him. Well, he’s an agent. He has strong feelings. She ignored what he said, passed him, and left the apartment. When she was already at the door, he held her hand.
“Please remove your hand from me, Leo.” she said in disgust.
“No, let’s talk. Let’s talk about last night. Please, Rhianna. I could hardly sleep last night thinking about you, thinking what I’ve done to you.” he said.
Wow! Really? Rhianna hope he also thought about how she would feel about what he did. That’s what she wants to tell him. But, she held back. Rhianna doesn’t want to escalate the issue further. Because even she is also having a hard time. Rhianna stared at him. She could feel in her voice begging her to listen to his side. Rhianna could do nothing but calm down.
“All right. Tell me now.” she said in a serious voice. He let go of her hand.
“I just don’t want you to know because I don’t want you to be mad at me. I don’t like what Carmela doing anymore. Because I know you’re hurting. So it’s better that she should leave the group.” he said.
Why he doesn’t want to hurt her? Because he doesn’t want me to avoid him? What is the reason why he does those things? Is it because Leo has already learned to love her?
No! A Leonardo Estralta Jr. will never learn to love her. Probably, because we both want Don Ysmael to disappear so until now he is still by her side. Maybe, that’s the reason. After all, they just want the same thing.
“Okay. I forgive you. Come on, we couldn’t be late.” Rhianna said and walked ahead to where the car was. She couldn’t help but be hurt by those in her mind. Is it right for her to think of him that way? Yet he was kind to her and he never did wrong anything to her.
–
They reached the Head Quarters. As soon as Rhianna got down, Brandon greeted her, immediately. Brandon smiled at her as he approached where she was, she could do nothing but smile at him.
“Good Morning, Beautiful Lady.” he complimented her. She laugh at what he said.
“Cut the beautiful, just Lady only. Good Morning too.” he greeted back while still laughing. Even Brandon laughs also.
“Come on. Everyone inside.” he said.
Rhianna nodded. She was about to walk with Brandon when Leo suddenly stopped them by preventing the passage. Rhianna was about to pass him when he touched hold wrist. Rhianna looked at Leo. She was suddenly scared of how he looked. It seemed that he will kill anytime the way he looked at Brandon.
“You go first, Brandon.” Leo said with glaring eyes.
“Why? I just accompanied Rhianna to Head Quarters. There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?” Brandon asked.
Leo no longer spoke. Suddenly he pulled me inside the Head Quarters. But before we could walk, Brandon grabbed my hand.
“What! Release me!” she shouted and struggled. They released her hand. When they released her hand, she spoke.
“I’m not food to being scrambled! Oh, there! You two are spare there!” Rhianna shouted and left them stunned.
She went inside the Head Quarters and headed for the door where the meeting was being held. When she entered, she saw Harold, Faith, and Alexandra sitting.
“Good Morning Rhi.” Harold greeted.
“Good Morning too.” She replied. She just smiled at Alexandra and Faith and sat in the empty chair next to Alexandra.
“Where are Leo and Brandon?” Alexandra asked. Before she could answer, the door opened, and Leo and Brandon along with Agent Jerald enter! They stood up when he arrived.
“Good Morning Agent Jerald.” the group greet him.
“Good Morning too.” he reciprocated. Brandon and Leo sat in the empty seat. Looks like the two are okay. Good. Agent Jerald stood in front.
“I congratulate you on the good outcome of all your missions. Thank you Leo for your good leadership of you. Now I am here. I will make sure that we catch Don Ysmael. We will soon catch him. So I demand the whole to pay attention to me to listen to everything I have to say to you. ” Agent Jerald said with a serious voice.
A leader’s voice. Rhianna was suddenly excited by what he said. Yes! Finally. They will also catch Don Ysmael and she will be able to be with her family. She’s happy because of that.
