Verboten/FORBIDDEN

38. Rain of Fire

August 27 of 2020, it was his birthday. I still bought him a birthday present, hoping he might come. Sovran came to celebrate with me even though the celebrant is not with us.

Sovran can call me crazy but I don't care. As long as I'm still cherishing his memory.

"You bought him a pair of tracker?! Brazen, can he use this?" Sovran came in my apartment and saw the tiny boxes on the table.

"That's very important, Sovran." I took the boxes away from him. "These are trackers that needed to be inserted into the body. It is one for me and one for him. I hate it when he suddenly disappears and he is the only one who knows what is going on. I want to be included making plans for the both of him and I. I felt deceived when he does it all to himself."

*sigh*

I released a deep breath like the burden has consumed me too much. He shook his head and wrapped his arm around my shoulders taking me to the kitchen.

"Let's start eating the food before it gets cold." He took the dishes to the dining table and we started to eat and talk about things.

The next day came, Chief gave me another mission after finishing the others.

"Senator Madrid? An escort? Are you kidding me?"

"Do we have a problem, Brazen?" Chief suspiciously asked me. He might be thinking that I'm too choosy when it comes to mission.

"Of course I'm glad to take it!" I took the folder and left his office.

Hmmm... I flipped the pages and quickly went to the hotel where I was ordered to go. The room wasn't provided for a single escort. There were five beds with four girls and I'm the fifth one. They're being measured by dressers and as soon as I arrived, I waited for my turn.

"You can take your baths and dry your hairs while your dresses will be fixed. The makeup artists will be here soon in two hours." The dresser left after giving us a warm smile and closed the door. I looked at the girls and some of them doesn't get along together. The two ladies are talking to each other happily while the other two gave crumpled expressions.

I burst a deep breath and took the first move to the bathroom. No one moved an inch so I'll do it. I took my things with me to the bathroom and locked the door.

After bathing myself for five minutes, I moisturized my body and wore a robe with a towel wrapped around my hair. The two girls who looked like best friends went into the bathroom together. I shook my head and smiled unconsciously.

Honestly, I envy those girls who can easily fit together. I don't have that quality.

They're all beautiful and hot looking young women. They might be older than me and their bodies are stunning.

"Are you a model too?" One of the young women approached me. She looks innocent compared to the other one who looks grumpy but still beautiful. I sit on the bed and she crawled towards me. "I'm Hannah, what's yours?" She looks at my face like a scientist staring at her specimen.

I warmly smiled at her while drying my hair with the towel. "I'm Rama and I'm not a model. I was just recommended by ah-" I tightly closed my eyes. 'What should I say? "I was recommended by my agency. Actually, I'm just a guard in a mall." I wryly grinned at her. Well, I couldn't lie to her that I'm a model because I don't have any idea about the fashion industry.

"Really? Wow, I'm impressed. I couldn't believe that a hot girl like you is a guard and not a model. You're very beautiful and sexy. You know what? You look familiar."

Uh- here we go again. They kept on telling me that I looked familiar to them. Those videos again? Oh please make it stop.

"Yeah, I do remember. You were that college girl who saved me and my family from those guerillas!" Hanna's eyes widened and the other girl next to us came closer to join.
