Irinaiah's.
"Rina, you have an appointment today." I looked up to see Storm coming in to the cafeteria. I frowned.
"With who?" I said, sipping my milk. Yes, milk.
"Mr. Daschuvell. He's in Greece. He'll be here in one hour. I suggest you to finish your milk and change your clothes." He looked me up and down as if he's judging me.
"What's wrong with my pajamas? How about my robe?" He scoffed and turned to walk away.
"Kidding, Storm. I'll be there at the meeting room. Let me prepare." I finished my milk and made my way to my room.
On my way, I saw a tall and handsome business man in a white shirt with no bodyguards around him. Is he giving himself to rob him or what?
"K-Kaliméra." I slowly walked and bowed before him as a greeting. I was about to run my way into my room when he gripped my hand.
"Are you perhaps, Ms. Red?" I slowly turned to him and gave him an awkward smile.
"Yes. I am, sir. But could you loosen up? You're gripping my arm too tight." He loosened and looked at my arm and found a white tag on my wrist that says 'patient'.
"Patient? Have you been in an accident recently, Miss Red?" He asked, letting me hear some kind of a different accent. Different than Greek or English.
"No, not really sir. My wounds suddenly opened so.. hehe." I laughed awkwardly and the meeting suddenly passed through my mind.
"And if you could excuse me sir, I have a meeting to attend to." I smiled and bowed respect again then ran to my room.
I showered then fixed my face. Applied some light face powder and a way of lipstick. I also prepared and wore a decent attire. A red shirt, a black blazer and fitted pants with normal walking shoes. I checked on my watch and saw I only have a little more time before the meeting starts.
I quickly ran to the elevator, walk through some hallways, and finally, I'm at the meeting room's door. There seem to be company already so I knocked and walked in.
I turned and saw the business man having a talk with Storm which both turned to me as I walk to my chair.
"Red this is Mr. Daschuvell. Mr. Dashuvell, this is Agent Red, one of my highly recommended agents in this agency." Storm said to the business man. He stood smiling and lended a hand. I accepted it and awkwardly smile.
"Let's have a sit." Storm said and we all sat.
"So Red, you are assigned to be Mr. Daschuvell's daughter's only bodyguard while he was away doing some of his important business. You are going to Paris, France. Do you agree?" I blinked at him.
"P-Paris? Y-yes sir." I tapped my feet from excitement. Matagal ko na kasing pangarap na makapuntang Paris kahit assignation lang dun.
"You swear to follow Mr. Daschuvell's orders?" I nodded and Storm turned to the man.
"Do you agree to our terms and conditions? Perhaps you've already read the papers."
"Oh yes, I agree." He smiled at me genuinely.
"Any message to each other?" Storm said writing.
"I'm entrusting you my daughter so please take care of her while I'm gone." I nodded.
"I will, sir." I smiled and looked at Storm.
"Is it done, Storm?" He looked at Mr. Daschuvell and their eyes seem to have some kind of agreement that can't be seen by the naked eye.
"You can go out now. Prepare and pack your important things. You have a flight to France in two days. Instructions and address will be given to you within your time." I stood and bow respect to them.
I slowly walked to my room smiling as I thought of myself in Paris. Wah, the people, the place, the food. Including the most of all, The Eiffel Tower.
City of Love. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for me to go? It is against the agency's law to fall in love.
Meh. Me? Falling in love? No. It will never happen. Besides, any kinds of gender would be there. Baka kapag nahulog pa ako sa isa malaman kong babae pala, o di kaya, bakla.
Pero yes, there's a possibility na mahulog ako 'coz I'm human too. Tarantadong human. Syempre, oo nakakaramdam din ako. But falling in love seems impossible since we were trained by Master Rain, Storm's father.
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock. I looked where it came from and I saw a rookie agent at the door of my bedroom. I approached him.
"Yes, rookie?" I called and he flinched. He gave me some kind of paper and read it.
"Ahh, the instructions and the address. Thank you, rookie. What's your name?" I asked, unlocking my door.
"Axl Adrion, Ms. Red and if you don't mind Ms, I have to go." He smiled as I look at him. Ah-ah. Don't think I'm falling for him. He's handsome, yes, but nah. Kung tatanungin ako, he's not my type.
I opened my door and locked it when I'm in. I threw the paper on my bed and searched for my red luggage and black bag. It is said there, the mansion is live-in. So I can sleep, eat, shower, and many, many more in exchange for my hard work.
When I found it, I excitedly placed my clothes and personal things. I was more on black and red because I'll be mistaken as other agents. Mahirap na. Baka may manliligaw pa si Nica, Agent Violet, tas sa akin bigla lumapit kasi naka-violet yung damit ko.
The last but not the least, my uniform as a bodyguard and my France Tourist Map which I've got on the mini-store next to this building.
As much as I want to go to France, I've learned their language. It is my dream country so it's also my goal to learn their language, obviously.
When I was done, I sighed and lay on my bed. Maybe I can still speak French.
