"And what do you need me for??"
Alister questioned with a sass.
"To spy on my brother..."
Blake Del Cardoso said with a smirk plastered on his face which only earned him a narrow glare from Alister.
She could only wonder what kind of person would want to spy on his own brother.
"He is not my own brother. Stepbrother."
And that took Alister by shock as to how the man in front of her could just speak out what she was thinking in her mind.
"Do not worry too much! That is a trait of being a Cardoso. "
Blake said as he moved forward, standing now very close to Alister as she did not step backward either, eyes stuck on him. She was not afraid of him.
"But that should not be your concern. Your concern should be to get your papa better. "
Alister glared at him right away as she could not believe how this stranger, standing face to face her could know the most secretive information of her.
And then she looked at Jeff who bowed his head down and nobody had to tell her that he did it. She wanted to kill that bastard right away if she could right now for exposing her.
"Não!! I will not do it. "
Alister said confidently, folding her hands against her chest.
" That is all Portuguese I know."
She said and turned around to leave. She did not like to work with someone who knew about her weakness. The reason why she was doing such work in the first place.
"Fifty thousand dollars in cash."
Blake shouted out, thinking that the bitch would stop. He had heard from Jeff that she had only earned up to ten thousand or twenty thousand dollars in cash as the highest rate. Fifty thousand dollars was a lot.
Alister was tempted to stop on her track but the hospital fees had risen up and it would not be enough in the long run so she did not stop and continued to walk away.
"One million!!!"
That made Alister stop on her track right away. A million dollars...that made her halt right away. But did not turn to look at the man yet.
"One million dollars!! I m willing to raise more if you want more. And if you do it right in the first go, I will increase the bonus to two percent more."
Blake Del Cardoso let out and finally got Alister to turn back to face him again.
"Is the one million fixed?"
She asked.
"Yes and more if you do it right in the first go."
"And what makes you think I would not be able to do right in the first go?"
Alister questioned, strolling closer to Blake as the man only chuckled at her confidence.
"This is Ryan Del Cardoso you will be dealing with, darling. You will know it."
Blake said as he got ready to get going and signaled Jeff to update her about the thing she was to do.
___________________________________________
Now only Alister could understand what Blake was talking about.
She never failed to do her task. Hell!! She had done this over a dozen times. Her face felt sticky from the red wine falling on her face. It ended up messing with the expensive dress too.
"Told you to be careful and you ruined the first time."
Blake scolded over the headphone. Alister only rolled her eyes to that. She knew that he could not see that.
"He is always traveling and this is one golden chance to get ahold of the Will papers only if you knew how to walk better with heels."
"I can walk with heels just fine. Your brother tripped me with his feet."
Alister accused. She was sure that the man had gotten aware of her moves from the start. He even looked like one not to mess with either.
"Do not be ridiculous. I made sure my brother did not know about it. The reason why I ended up hiring a street-side pickpocket instead of a skilled trained one."
Blake yelled from the other side. He knew his brother was a very shrewd, cumming person and always ten steps ahead of others.
But this time, he had made sure that it was only him that Ryan would not come to know a thing about it. It was impossible that he would know about some street side pickpocket.
"I m not a street-side pickpocket. And I bet your brother is suspicious of me."
Alister hissed making her way inside the lady's washroom.
"Keep your attitude low. You did a poor job for the first advance I gave you and my brother is not suspicious. I will text you the next event later tomorrow. Make sure not to fail this time."
With that, Blake hung up the call in a haste leaving her all alone to her thoughts. She turned on the faucet and splashed water on her face.
When she looked up in the mirror, she got reminded of how she fell right into his arm, his eyes looking right into hers.
She could not help but admit that the bastard was a good-looking one...illegally good-looking at that.
The way he looked at her, the way he held her, and the second time when she attempted to get the papers again, he spun her around right away making sure her hands fell right onto his shoulders.
His moves...all the moves seemed like he was aware of her action for a long time. But she could not help but wonder how. It was surreal. Maybe she was thinking much...maybe...
"How was it to be that close to Rayn Del Cardoso??"
Alister looked away from the mirror to see the lady dressed in a red expensive gown asking her.
She did not know what to say to that. It was nothing ordinary, she could say that but did not know what it exactly felt like. She did not know the right word.
"I bet it was magical."
The lady chuckled as she let herself out with a smile plastered on her face.
Alister, then could not help but realize that it was indeed magical if not anything else.
