Liza's POV
"Is this Liza De Novo?" I heard a familiar voice ask and I smirked.
I put the phone on *Loud Speaker * and gently placed it on the table.
"It's Ander Gorostiza," he added.
"I'll accept your offer"
I turned to Harper and Kyle with a smirk . They grinned also. I covered the mouthpiece and turned to them .
"Tell him, you'll meet at your office tomorrow" Kyle said silently..
I nodded and released the piece .
"That's very good Ander , let's meet at my office tomorrow afternoon"
" Tiago is a very dangerous man , how am i sure my life won't be in danger , working with you? " He asked , his voice filled with uncertainty. I smirked.
" Don't worry , you'll be safe" I replied.
" Liza's vow" I added , mentally crossing my fingers.
"Okay" he muttered
I ended the call and placed the phone on the table.
" So he wasn't a loyal dog , was he?" Kyle grinned.
"I guess he wasn't , who would be after realizing Tiago killed his mother" I shrugged.
" Absolutely no one in his right mind" Harper muttered with an eye roll . I chuckled,taking my seat again.
"Are you both going to show yourself to Ander now?" I asked , directing my question to Kyle.
" No. It would be too risky , we can't trust him fully yet " he replied .
" He may be two faced , working for us and Tiago, so we have to be careful and Liza , don't reveal too much to him"
I nodded. Immediately, Harper's phone rang out loudly. She grabbed it and got on her feet.
"I'll just take this" she muttered to us and walked away.
I sighed , reclining on the seat. I just want to get all this done , I just want to go back to being the old happy Ruby . The girl who never had any stress . Well , until my family and I became involved with Ramos.
My eyes darted to the elimination board and I sighed when my gaze landed on Gael's picture. Sometimes I think , if I hadn't dated Gael back then , my life would have been safe , probably. My parents wouldn't have found out about Gael's father and his dirty works . Nevertheless,I'm still glad all these happened. I got to find out who I was actually into , I got to find out they kind of guy my supposed *boyfriend* was.
"Guys , I need to head back to the office," Harper informed , walking back to the table.
"Keep me updated if you make any decisions," she added , placing the laptop inside its designated bag.
" Sure," Kyle replied.
"Well then , later " she added with a small smile , grabbing her hand bag .
"Bye"
"Liza?" She rolled her eyes, turning to look at me.
"Byee" I drawled . She released a small sigh before walking out.
I glanced at the time on my wristwatch. It said 6pm. Suddenly, I felt someone's gaze on me and I looked up to see Kyle staring at me.
"What?" I called confused
"Do I have something on my face?" I added , a little amused at how closely he was staring at me.
"No," he smiled.
"It's just that we've been too busy these days that we hardly talk," he replied. I furrowed my brows.
Do we even talk that much? I'm a very quiet person, I find it really hard to start conversations with anybody. Kyle and I are just friends, there's not much to talk about , just our mission.
"Hmm" I muttered with a small smile.
"So , aside from our mission, do you think you're ready to start any sort of conversation with Gael? " He asked , staring right into my eyes.
" What do you mean?"
"You know quite well what I mean," he shrugged.
" You don't want to book an appointment with Gael now because you can't stand him, isn't it?" he added with a sly smile.
I nodded .
"True"
"After all the guy did , seeing him will only make the situation worse, and bring back those memories I badly want to forget" I explained , placing my head on the table. I turned sideways to look at him.
"I don't think I'm ready for it," I added in a whisper.
" You'll still have to talk with him ,you know that?"
"Yes, " I muttered.
Deep down ,I really want to talk with Gael. I want to ask him why he did all that years ago , why he broke all the trust I had for him , but I can't . No matter how I had tried to assure myself Gael wasn't involved, everything that happened that night came rushing back and I couldn't help but despise him .
"Just make sure you don't fall in love with him again, you don't want to get hurt twice by the same person"
My eyes darkened as I sat upright immediately.
"There's no way I'll be falling in love with that betrayer, absolutely no way" I growled silently.
Even saying that word gets me irritated. Not just for Gael but there's no way I'll be falling in love with anyone again.
I glanced shortly at Kyle. I could bet I sensed a ray of hope flicker through his eyes ,he had a satisfied smile plastered on his face.
"Anyways, how did your mom take the news of you being Liza?" He asked, breaking the silence.
" She was annoyed of course, we had a little argument. '' I sighed.
" Samantha? " He narrowed his eyes.
" What do you think?" I muttered with an eye roll.
"Her hatred for me is even worse , she thinks I'm hiding something from her" I scoffed
" She could be an hindrance to our plan , she shouldn't find out what you're really up to"
I grinned .
" That's never going to happen, she can never find out anything about me unless I tell her and mom about it" I smirked .
" Well enough of me , when is your sister coming back to the States? "
