10:30 PM
"Knock, knock, knock." …
Remo Hunter was having a shower when someone came knocking.
The temperature outside was starting to drop a bone chilling level and clear as bell with not a cloud outside.
He took a bath to clean himself after a steamy encounter with Mayi earlier.
His girlfriend is a 21 years old, young, very pretty local Burmese girl going by the name of Ma Yi Yi Tin.
They had been in a beautiful relationship for over a couple of months now.
She's the local secretary of the Japanese Company on the same project where they work from his duty as the Chief Engineer.
Having a perfect body, stunning face with flawless skin due to her mixed race, she's every man's dream girl, ravishing and delicate, although reserved --- is very hot in bed!
The father is a Chinese national and a mother of local Burmese origin mixed with Spanish descent.
Her face still looks pretty even without any makeup.
Quickly, Remo turned off the tap water and put a towel to cover his lower body.
His figure is muscular, powerfully built, ripped and robust due to his training system created by his elderly mentors.
He has a handsome face, does not smoke nor drink excessive liquors. He loves black coffee.
As he walked past her with eyes still closed --- Mayi looked pleased with satisfaction after the fiery encounter.
"It's Peter" … Remo muttered.
His extra sensory perception has become stronger. The power of his hidden senses can now accurately foresee anyone around him in a radius of a few meters.
Though he has yet to master his self-perceived ability, the spiritual hearing of his senses had improved tremendously.
It made him consciously aware of incoming individuals… even objects. His ability to interpret without being conscious has effortlessly increased fivefold, more powerful than his old self.
Remo walked towards the door.
"Who is it?"
He queried even though he knew beforehand it was his best mate at the project site.
"Bro it's me. I need raw data to finish the technical report."
The man behind the door replied softly to avoid disturbing the neighborhood especially the Japanese engineers at the adjacent cabins above them.
"I don't have any soft copy. Mind sharing it to me? We will submit it for review to the Consultant!"
"Sure bro, give me a minute!"
Mayi opened her eyes when she was awakened by the faint voices nearby.
Remo have to cross his fingers over his lips for her to keep quiet.
He was always very careful to anyone who might be able to see her inside the room.
But it was not to be at this time...
"Chill out bro, take your time. I know Mayi is inside, hehehe." Peter let out a slight chuckle.
Remo was astonished. "He saw her!"
He reached out and open the door slightly just enough for him to put his head out.
Peter greeted with a grin.
"Sorry to interrupt, bro! Our schedule to leave for the next project is just three weeks away."
"You little bastard, eh? I hope you'll keep this alone to yourself." he flashed a cold face keeping hold of the awkward situation.
"Worry not, bro. My lips are fully sealed!" he chuckled.
"I was surprised you come looking for me at this hour. It's very cold outside!"
He reached for his external drive from the table behind the door and handed it over.
"All project files and documents are found in my name folder. If you need any clarification or inquiries, I'm just a text away. "
He took a piece of tissue paper as he spoke to wipe his forehead with the dripping water falling from his hair.
"Ok big bro, many thanks and sorry again to disturb."
Peter had a wide grin before retreating to his cabin five meters adjacent to Remo Hunter.
Both of them were neighbors. It was dimly lit outside, and his vision was obscured from the window, but he was sure Mayi tip toed at 7:00PM that evening.
"Did she had an inkling we're leaving the site soon?" Peter asked himself when she saw her getting inside his mate's room.
The project under construction in Myanmar has a year left before its completion. But due to the current political and economic liberalization in the country --- with the landslide victory of the NLD, the army took control of power in a 'coup.'
Not only did it affected the progress of the project, but it has also brought economic turmoil in Myanmar's economy making it a failing state and dangers to its neighbors.
Moreover, due to Covid, the health care system collapsed badly.
Currently, millions of people were facing hunger and tens of thousands already fled to other parts of the country and across all borders.
Remo stepped towards the refrigerator after Peter had left.
He lifted a mineral water by waving his hands and it flew into him.
Looking at the innocence and beauty of Mayi, he reached out by touching her cheeks.
"This little girl is just too good in bed!"
He immediately snapped back, removed the towel, and put on a bathrobe.
He heads towards the back door of his balcony.
A space is provided in there two meters wide by a meter.
A small table and stool were available. It serves as a space for him to relax when there is nothing to do after work.
He used this 'little space' to resume his practice of cultivation and meditation to fully master his abilities and techniques.
Unfortunately, he needs a proper guidance from his mentors in navigating the intricate steps.
Hence, he has to make do by himself practicing his spirituality in merging his body and soul for his abilities to improve over time.
To control the power inside and outside his physical body, he has to become stronger, muscles, bones, and internal organs strengthened.
Improving his martial spirit at his young age to become more effective in fighting and self-defense was required. These were necessary if ever confronted to defeat someone belonging to a higher level than himself.
Moreover, this simple nook and corner was quieter at certain times of the day, where he is less likely to be disturbed.
