Time shows exactly at 8 p.m. Time for dinner. For the Paxon family enjoying a dinner is mandatory for the whole family. Because only in this moment can they gather and chat with each other.
The mountainous work as well as the dense activity throughout the day, made the quality time between them very difficult to come by. So Samuel Paxon - as the head of the household - decided to make this rule.
However, since the son is merely enjoying the honeymoon period, of course it becomes an exception. And this opportunity was used by Samuel to repeat the romantic dinner with his beloved woman. Who else if not the wife, Brighitta Zoeylia.
Why was he silent from before? samuel's mind when he saw Zoey who was so serious about eating his dishes.
Without a trace of Samuel, Zoey was busy thinking about someone she met in Bandung the other day. The girl was still curious about the man who seemed to know her so well.
Zoey repeatedly digs into the memory of her brain to remember the figure. And the result is all nil. Zoey is very sure, if his meeting in Bandung yesterday was the first time he saw the man.
But strangely enough, the man acted as if they were old friends. That frustrates Zoey.
At first he wanted to browse through the information of the person with advanced equipment at his base, but at once the intention was undo. He forgot that now all the computers in his house were connected to the central server under Samuel's control.
Of course, whatever Zoey does with the device that's there will be recorded by Samuel. Then, what happens if he is caught tracking information about other men.
No. gabe. That's too risky. Zoey had to wait for her father to come home and ask him directly. It is impossible that the commander also does not know the identity of Mr. 'J' that?
"Who is Jade Scott really?" Zoey pensively muttered softly.
His words were hardly heard if the husband did not have sharp hearing.
"Hem? Why Honey?" samuel asked, his tone passing by.
"Oh! Nope." Zoey shook her head, as if the act could shake off the disturbing thoughts.
"Is there a problem with yesterday's transaction? I think you're in a bad mood after Bandung."
Zoey smiled doubtfully. "Just feel it, Yank. I'm fine."
Samuel's eyes narrowed slightly. The guy felt that his wife was lying. But for the sake of respecting each other's privacy, he prefers silence. If there were a problem facing his wife, the girl would have told him.
"Yesterday there's 'stuff' coming. Because Papa's not home and you're gone, so I haven't opened it. It looks like it's a shipment from Russia."
"When did that 'thing' arrive?" zoey asked a little surprised. He was worried that Samuel would find something on the shipment.
"About an hour after you left."
"...."
Samuel raised his perfectly curved brows, waiting for Zoey to speak. But the girl showed no reaction other than silence. He seemed to be seriously enjoying his dinner.
"Why was his 'goods' sent here? Didn't you say that the procedure was difficult for such a shipment." asked Samuel after feeling awkwardness began to envelop them.
Samuel's question distracts Zoey from her daydream.
"Huh? Oh. That's probably another order. I think Papa ordered some weapons from abroad." Zoey had to reason. He was not ready to tell Samuel everything.
"You want to make war or what? This house is full of weapons. Why buy again?"
"Papa buy it for you, Yank. Papa see that you have used the firing speed is still lacking. As a sniper you need a gun that can shoot quickly and accurately."
"Am I going on a mission?" asked Samuel enthusiastically.
"Looks like. I heard Papa just signed a cooperation contract with an alliance abroad. And they need a sniper. Maybe Papa will ask for your help."
"No problem. I haven't been looking for 'hunting' in a long time either'."
"Didn't you just go on a mission last week with Agent Tiger?"
"Yes. And I think it's too easy. The target is just a drug dealer running away."
"But you've completed the mission well, Yank. You can find his hiding place and you manage to incapacitate him without killing him." Zoey said.
"But it's less challenging, Honey. I want to do something big that can stir up my adrenaline."
"That's it. Your excessive adrenaline always puts me in danger."
"Why? Are you feeling overwhelmed facing me in bed, Honey…"
"You know what I mean, Sam."
Zoey grumbled as she rolled her eyes lazily. The girl gave up on Samuel and the bed. The husband will always ask her to do strange things under the pretext that she is not satisfied.
"Oh yeah, how's Albert? She called you?"
"Hemmm.. After you left, he called me while getting angry."
"Why?"
"He doesn't like his village. He said it was just junk and not worth it for a honeymoon."
"Indeed the condition of our villa is that bad? Didn't last year still look all right?"
"Eitherway. Maybe…"
Ddrt…
Not yet had Samuel finish his speech, suddenly vibrate mobile phone belonging to Zoey divert their conversation.
Zoey glanced at the screen of the flaming phone. There was an unknown number calling her. The girl did not immediately press the answer button. He even stared at the blinking thing.
Samuel frowned. "Why not get caught?"
Zoey put back her phone then shook her head lazily.
"Not knowing his number."
Samuel reached out to grab Zoey's phone. "Let me answer."
Not yet had the object switched to the grasp of Samuel, the wife had already shifted the reject button.
"No need, Yank. Most phones don't matter."
Samuel again wondered. He felt something was wrong with his wife. He usually refuses phone calls. Zoey always said 'Don't underestimate everyone who calls. Who knows, they really need us.' But now, the girl just ignored the person who contacted her.
Is he hiding something?
The trying!
For the umpteenth time the notification on Zoey's phone rang. Now the ringing indicates that there is a message coming in.
Zoey glanced at the small flat object beside her hand. The girl immediately flinched while reading some of the messages printed on the screen.
+62-8xx-xxxx-x0
It's me J, Princess... ✔
Well, the caller without the identity is none other than Jade Scott. Ruler of underground business in Russia.
Zoey really did not expect that crazy man to get his mobile number. As an agent, identity confidentiality is paramount. Even families are not allowed to know the contact number specifically used in the mission. How did Jade Scott contact her?
"Related to not be answered? Isn't that the phone used for missions?" urged Samuel.
"It's precisely because it's a special phone so it shouldn't be just anyone can call here. Only certain agents and commanders can contact this number. And their contacts are definitely stored." Zoey said.
He could not have told Samuel the truth. Zoey understands very well how her husband's character if he has contracted the jealous virus. That guy can act crazy and lose his mind.
"You mean you're afraid that the phone was hacked?"
"That's you know," Lies. Zoey actually did not have to worry about such a matter. He can handle everything easily.
It's just that he didn't want Samuel to know about Jade Scott. Notnot now. Not before Zoey can actually unravel the identity of the mysterious man.
