"Why?" Mr. Fuente asked.
"Mr. Tan said he couldn't come today because he wants to spend time with the Missus," Coby replied.
" What?!" Mr. Fuente blurted out!
'He said he need want to spend time with that woman?!'
'Did they not got into a fight?!'
'Wait, but Tim doesn't look good yesterday, I'm sure he already saw the photos, but what is going on?'
'Did his plan didn't work?'
"Mr. Fuente?" Coby called when he notices Mr. Fuente being in a daze.
"Huh?!" Mr. Fuente snapped back to his senses.
"Do you have something to say to Mr. Tan. I could relay it for you." Coby offered.
"Oh," Mr. Fuente blurted out as he looked at Alex, "Uhm, n-no, it's not that urgent, I can wait for tomorrow." Mr. Fuente refused.
"Okay then, if you don't need anything else, I'll go then, Mr. Fuente," Coby said.
"Ennn..." Mr. Fuente nodded his head as a response.
Coby bowed his head before he turned away from Mr. Fuente.
Mr. Fuente goes back to his office too.
"Bang!"
Mr. Fuente slammed the door due to anger!
He is so furious!
'That woman!'
'It's hard to get rid of her than he thought!'
Mr. Fuente tightened his grip as he gritted his teeth.
"Ring!"
Mr. Fuente's phone suddenly rings.
He took a deep breath before he took it and checked the caller's ID.
It is Chase.
Mr. Fuente swiped his phone before he put it in his ear.
"Hello," He answered.
"Boss," Chase's voice from the other line spoke.
"Why did you call?" Mr. Fuente asked coldly.
"I called to remind you about your payment, boss," Chase replied.
"My man has already done his mission," he added.
Mr. Fuente annoyingly rubbed his head, "You can't get the payment, yet," he said.
"Why not?" Chase's voice becomes deep.
"Because the plan is a failure!" Mr. Fuente said in a raised voice.
"Aren't you the one who planned that?!" Chase commented.
"I still need you and your men to work for me," Mr, Fuente said.
"May I remind you, Richard," Chase is losing his patience.
"My men's service is not free," he added coldly.
Mr. Fuente froze.
If Chase calls him by his first name, it means that he is getting mad.
Mr. Fuente tried to calm himself.
He shouldn't make Chase angry.
He needs him and his men to succeed in his plan.
"Alright, I will deposit the money in your account." Mr. Fuente said.
"It's good that we are clear now, boss," Chase said, he is now back to his pleasing personality.
"What do you want us to do now?" Chase asked after a while.
"Nothing," Mr. Fuente replied.
"Let's lay low for now."
"Why?" Chase asked again.
"I heard that they are still in good terms right now, that woman might tell Tim about what happened."
"Tim might have already hired someone to investigate about the attacker's identity."
"Hmmm... It seems like he is madly in love with that woman!" Chase commented.
"Those photos are more realistic, but he still chose to believe her."
Mr. Fuente thinks for a moment, 'Yes, the photos show that Kira is doing something malicious with another man, he knows Tim, he is the kind of man who would believe to the evidence.'
'Is that how deep is his love for that woman?'
'Or somebody might have told him about what really happened?'
Mr. Fuente can only think of someone that Alex!
He might have told Tim about the incident!
'Idiot!'
'I already helped him to get the woman he love, but he wasted it!'
'Seems like I can't rely on that man!'
I just wasted my time approaching him!
------
The next day,
"Sweetheart?" Tim shook Kira to wake her up.
"Hmmm..." Kira moaned as she moves.
"C'mon! You have to wake up."
"We have to go somewhere," Tim said.
"Where?" Kira asked in a groggily.
"You'll know it when we arrive there," Tim said.
-------
"We're here!" Tim said as soon as he stopped the car.
Kira looked outside the car and her brows knitted when she reads the word on the entrance, " A shooting club?" she blurted out.
"Yes," Tim replied while removing his seatbelt.
Kira turned her head to Tim, "Why are we here?" she asked.
"You have to learn this," Tim said.
"You'll have a shooting lesson twice a week," He added.
"Shooting lesson?" Kira repeated.
"Yes, it is a part of your training to defend your self against those people with ill intention," Tim replied.
"Oh," Kira blurted out.
Tim stretched his hand to remove Kira's seatbelt.
"Let's go!"
-----
Tim and Kira entered the shooting club, a man who is the same age as Tim approaches them.
"Timothy!" The ma called Tim.
"Diego!" Tim called back the man.
The two of them shook hands.
"It's been a while!" The man named Diego said to Tim.
"Yeah, it's been a while, I got busy to work, so, I couldn't make time on coming here," Tim said.
"And who is this beautiful lady with you?" Diego asked when his gaze fell to Kira.
"My wife, Kira," Tim replied.
"I want her to learn shooting," Tim added.
"Oh, great!"
"You can come inside!" Diego said.
-----
Tim helped Kira to wear her eye and ear protector before he started teaching her how to handle the gun.
Tim put a bullet in the gun and let Kira hold it, "Aim it to the target," He said.
"Alright," Kira nodded her head.
She lifted her hands which is holding the gun, "Is this right?" She asked.
Tim stands behind Kira, he lifted his hand and held both of her hands.
"Hold it tightly," Tim said as he holds Kira's hand.
"Stretch your arm," he added.
"Alright!" Kira said as she stretches her hand.
Kira waited for Tim to let go of her hand, but Tim seemed like he doesn't plan to let go of her.
"Uhm, Tim?" Kira called Tim.
"Hmmm?" Tim responds.
"Are we just going to hold hands here?" Kira said.
"Oh!" Tim blurted out.
"I couldn't let go of your hand." He said with a flirty smile on his face.
"Tim, we are in a public place, stop being flirty," Kira said in a low voice.
"So, I can do it if we are alone?" Tim whispered.
"Ugh! You always did it whenever we are alone!"
