The next morning, Claudio Belles emerged from the second bedroom to find the master bedroom door open and Almira Arenas coming out of it.
Last night Eduardo Tercero had promised her he wouldn’t touch another woman for a hundred days, and she thought they had agreed, but in the blink of an eye, Almira had slept in his bed last night.
It’s quite ironic.
Almira seemed to realize something and there was a glint of amusement in her eyes.
“Miss Claudio, did you sleep well last night?”
“Not bad.” Claudio Belles replied coolly.
Almira Arenas, in her little daughterly gesture, said, “I slept well too, President Eduardo’s bed was big and soft.”
Heh.
Claudio Belles couldn’t help but grimace, but before the grimace faded from his lips, Claudio Belles’ gaze passed over Almira Arenas’ shoulder and he saw the door to the other room open and out came Eduardo Tercero from the guest room, dressed in a suit of the house.
Claudio Belles seemed to understand what was happening and smiled at Almira Arenas with a look that said, “Well done, you are a good actor.
She slept in Eduardo Tercero’s room and Eduardo Tercero didn’t sleep with her, so why be proud?
Almira Arenas turned, saw Eduardo Tercero and immediately greeted him, reaching out to take his arm.
“President Eduardo, good morning.”
Eduardo Tercero wanted to pull his arm out, but he was in no hurry to let go of his relationship with Almira Arenas when he saw the woman standing not far away.
Almira Arenas smiled sweetly and said, “President Eduardo, let’s go down to breakfast together.”
Almira Arenas took Eduardo Tercero by the arm, without forgetting to call Claudio Belles: “Miss Claudio, come down soon to have breakfast too”.
Claudio Belles gritted his teeth.
…
The breakfast table was a hive of activity.
Eduardo Tercero sits with Almira Arenas on one side and Claudio Belles across from them.
Almira Arenas ate breakfast and her whole body was dying to be glued to Eduardo Tercero’s arms.
Claudio Belles viciously cut the scrambled eggs on his plate.
Almira Arenas sketched a harmless smile and said, “Sister Claudio, I’m going to stay here a long time, so if I offend you later, Sister Claudio mustn’t take it personally, I don’t know any better.”
Oh, not to know any better, so he could offend people.
Claudio Belles took a sip of his millet porridge and said coldly, “Am I that old? I hate being called a sister.”
Almira Arenas is speechless, “…”
She thought Miss Claudio would at least pretend to be kind and generous in front of President Eduardo, but she did not expect her to be so playful, and it would be strange if President Eduardo could really tolerate this woman.
Almira Arenas was becoming more and more gullible and did not consider this Miss Claudio as a match for her.
“So … Miss Claudio, I still don’t know your name, why don’t I call you by your first name?”.
Claudio Belles just ate and ignored her.
When Claudio Belles did not answer, Almira Arenas unconsciously looked at Eduardo Tercero, but found that he did not care for her either, although his eyes were on Claudio Belles, who was eating breakfast with his head down. Belles.
Claudio Belles, who has a bad temper and patience, was annoyed by the cut of the steak, which was fried medium rare, tough and not at all easy to cut, and halfway through he ran out of patience with the cut and threw the knife and fork onto the plate.
The silver metal knife and fork clattered against the porcelain plate.
Edward the Third reached over and tugged at his plate, cutting the steak from his plate without a word and tossing it back.
The whole process, flowing smoothly, without a single extra movement or half a word.
Claudio Belles looked at the cut steak on his plate, crossed his gaze with Almira Arenas, picked up a piece with his fork and put it in his mouth, not forgetting to compliment her: “This steak is very good, Miss Almira have you tasted it too?”
Almira Arenas had one hand under the table, clenched in a fist, but with a good smile on her face, she looked at Eduardo Tercero, “President Eduardo, I want a steak too.”
There was no shortage of sappy accents in that tone.
Available at …
Eduardo Tercero, however, played dead and replied, “You can eat if you want.”
Heh, very considerate.
Claudio Belles picks up his fork and eats his steak while looking between Almira Arenas and Eduardo Tercero with a playful look, a slight smile full of laughter smothered on his pretty red lips.
Almira Arenas unconsciously looked at a smug Claudio Belles and her little hand could not resist tugging on Eduardo Tercero’s sleeve, “President Eduardo, I was asking you to help me cut … ”
Before the words were out of his mouth, Eduardo Tercero had stood up, wiped his hands and said in a lighthearted voice, “I’m done eating, enjoy.”
Almira Arenas took a mouthful from the door.
After Eduardo Tercero left, Claudio Belles and Almira Arenas were the only two people left at the table.
Claudio Belles waves the knife and fork in his hand and continues to eat slowly and deliberately, with a face that does not disguise the joy he feels.
Almira Arenas’ face turned green with anger, “Don’t think President Eduardo likes you just because he cuts you a steak.”
Claudio Belles picked up a spoonful of yogurt cereal, “Eduardo Tercero is gone, you don’t even want to pretend, you’re not even tactful.”
“You…”
“I’m full too. Miss Almira, enjoy your meal.”
Claudio Belles wiped the corners of his mouth and hands with a tissue and stood up, not forgetting to remember: “Ah, yes, remember, my name is Claudio Belles and I love to bully and tattle.”
The arrogance.
The knuckles of Almira Arenas’ fingers, squeezing the glass of water, are blue.
…
Claudio Belles returned to his room and lay down on the bed, bored.
This canary leads a life of idleness.
In the past, when she was an assassin and agent of the Ming Organization, she hardly had time to rest, she was always in danger, but now she is in bed with Eduardo Tercero in captivity, her nerves relaxed, she no longer has to worry about an assassin pointing a gun to her head in the middle of the night, or a sudden appointment in the middle of the night. She would have gotten lazy after a long time.
Now, it was like she was on a long vacation, so long that her whole body was weak in the bones and her whole being was not very aggressive.
She closes her eyes and thinks about where she should go when this 100-day agreement ends.
There is no turning back in the Ming organization, Esteban Zaragosa is completely out of the jungle for Dulcina Calvo, but what about her, where to go and what to do.
She was used to living a bloody life and, for a while, didn’t seem to adapt to such a leisurely life.
Yes, now she is not even a Ming organization, so why should she care if R and Z are friends or not, what does she care?
Claudius Belles’ eyes snapped open.
Rising to his feet, he strides toward Eduardo Tercero’s study.
Claudio Belles burst straight into Eduardo Tercero’s study, “Eduardo Tercero, now I’m not a Ming organization, I don’t have to keep this appointment with you … ”
Before the words were out of her mouth, Eduardo Tercero suddenly pulled her into his arms, “Watch out!”.
Claudio Belles, held by her arms, strained to look out and saw a concealed weapon shot across the floor not far away.
“Did I just touch some kind of mechanism?”
The concealed weapons in this studio are ingeniously rigged.
Claudio Belles is inspecting the studio and Eduardo Tercero looks at his small face.
Earlier he had removed the concealed weapons from the studio for her sake, then she left, and not long after, he put them back for the safety of the studio’s confidential documents.
Now, she’s back.
