Shane returned home with "two, to do things" on his memo. Number one- sending an update to cancel his request for a school admission to all those people he had initially requested, including Deigo. Number two, sending Jayce a message to arrange a meeting with his new editor. After he"s done with both, he went to sleep.Meanwhile, at some bar in the city -
"Mr. Deigo, I think you should call it off. It seems that you"re already at your limits." the bartender spoke.
"Shut up and pour me the drink. That"s your job." Deigo ordered. Although Deigo looked as if he"s already drunk, but the reality is different. The man can still go to a drinking compet.i.tion and win it with ease. Deigo"s exhaustion look is all from his work. While he was enjoying his drink, his mobile phone beeped. He took out to check and saw the notification bar with a message from Shane Ricardo.
"Sha... Shane Ricardo?" Deigo tried to remember the name. And he got it. The man who said something about getting admission for Giselle"s daughter. Deigo quickly unlocked his mobile to read the message.
Shane Ricardo: 09:46 PM
h.e.l.lo Mr. Deigo, it"s Shane here. You might remember me from requesting you for admission in your school for a little girl. It seems that my friend had already found a school to her likings. Hence, I would like to inform you to cancel my request. I apologize if I had wasted your time. However, thank you for hearing me out on that day. I really appreciate your help. Take care.
"Already found a school?" Deigo murmured.
After reading his message, Deigo dialed a number on his mobile. The call got connected.
"Sir?" the voice on the other end spoke. It was clearly a male"s voice. The bartender kept looking at Deigo. He was more afraid of the man sitting in front of him might faint at any moment due to excessive drinking.
"Did you get any information?" Deigo spoke arrogantly.
"Sir, not any crucial information." the voice replied in fear.
"You a.s.sholes. I gave you more time. Even an Idiot can do a better job than you fools." Deigo scolded them.
"Sir, we apologize but it is the truth though. This woman lives alone with her child. Plus, we never saw her going to work except for the nearby school." the voice responded.
"Lives alone with her child? Then what about the husband or the child"s father?" Deigo enquired.
"Hmm... Sir, she lives alone. There"s no one else she"s staying with. Especially, not a guy. So far, we haven"t seen the child"s father." the guys reported back one after the other.
"What about the school?"
"Yes, it"s Edward Harris Elementary School" the voice answered.
"Alright, what about the Ident.i.ty?" Deigo asked. This time his voice demanded an answer to this mission"s main motive.
"Yes, sir. She is Giselle, your schoolmate. We"ve confirmed it." the voice replied.
"Alright. You guys can stop with this and go home. I"ll wire you the remaining amount." Deigo ended the call. For the next few minutes, he was working on his mobile. Basically, transferring money to the men with whom he had just spoken.
After sending them the money, he violently placed his mobile on the table and asked the Bartender to bring out more alcohol. The bartender looked scared, but Deigo"s expression was too fierce that the Bartender feared he might get killed if he doesn"t pour this man another drink. The bartender nodded and brought out the strong liquor. He poured Deigo a drink in shots. Deigo gulped it in one go and asked for one more round. He drank the second one slowly. This time, his eyes glared at anything it saw. The fierce look he showed literally scared the people around him. With people around him leaving desperately, he took out a cigarette and smoked.
"Deigo," a familiar voice came from behind.
When Deigo turned around, he saw a familiar figure with a bright smile on her face. Looking at her, Deigo"s face lit up. All of his stress was gone and he waved his hands up to signal the girl.
