Contradictory Love's

32 - Tapping

Calista had just rearranged her rather messy suitcase. Before dinner with Marcel, he wants to arrange all his belongings first because his plane to Jakarta tomorrow morning leaves at 07:00. Very morning! She chose the second flight because she was really looking forward to meeting her husband. Calista did not want any items left behind so he had to arrange everything carefully because the meeting with Marcel could have been until midnight.

He looked again at his hape screen in agitation. There was a feeling of slight disappointment because since she arrived in Singapore yesterday, her husband had not had a single video call. This is not Daniel's habit. As long as they were separated, her husband never missed contacting her one day.

Calista took the initiative to call her husband a few times. Strangely can't connect. Calista didn't want to think strangely. She was very understanding with her husband who bore the burden of being the main leader of his company.

Once again Calista tried to call her husband's number but was still unsuccessful. Calista took a breath and threw it away heavily. He still feels worried, however. "May she be well." she whispered inwardly.

After finishing, Calista got ready in front of the mirror. She put on some make up and pouched her hair up.

A few minutes later, the phone in her room rang. "Yes, hello." said Calista.

There was a receptionist voice across.

"Miss, you're waiting for Marcel's brother right now in the lobby."

"Okay, thank you." Calista hangs up, grabs her bag and hape her out of her room to the hotel lobby.

Marcel had been waiting downstairs wearing a black-white jumper, a hat with NBA inscriptions and sunglasses as usual. He knows neither day nor night, but still wears his sunglasses.

"Hi Kak, we go to the cafe across the street. Don't go far because tomorrow morning you have to get up early to catch a plane."

Marcel's request was approved by Calista. They walked to where Marcel's car was parked.

A pair of eyes were watching the two of them from a distance. The man lit his cigarette and then got ready to follow the two people he was watching.

At the cafe there were many visitors. Marcel was sweating a little against the fear that suddenly appeared. Seeing Marcel's reaction, Calista understood immediately. He flanked one of his sister's arms and led her into an open corner to sit there.

While passing through the door leading out, a man who passed by them accidentally bumped into Marcel's shoulder. His hand was able to attach an object, small and ash-colored in the arms of Marcel's jumper quickly.

"I'm sorry, sir" said Marcel without turning his head. He felt that he was wrong, either because of a slight dizziness at the crowd or because the lighting in the open room was only vague so he accidentally hit the man.

"We'll just sit here. It's a little quiet" Calista said as she led her sister to a table. They ordered dinner and wine.

Calista heard Marcel's words while smiling with satisfaction.

"So I've transferred twenty percent for you. Consider it the 'the gift' I promised. Without your help, I might not have decided to make this decision. At least I'm relieved. From next week I'll be doing my therapy routine."

Calista clasped his sister's hand with a feeling of pleasure. "Thank you for the gift. I'm not good at rejecting it."

"Can't refuse. I'll take a bite later." said Marcel, sipping wine in his hand. Suddenly Marcel's arm was itching. He scratched and without knowing it a small object attached to the man who hit him was released and fell near his feet. Marcel moved the position of his feet so that the object that fell near his feet was instantly crushed by being stepped on.

The man who hit him was sitting not far from them. He had finished taking some pictures of the two people being tapped. Suddenly he felt a little panicked,

"Damn! Fuckin' shit! It must have crashed and not stuck there!" He tried to hear something but there was no sound when clearly He saw the two people still talking seriously while occasionally laughing.

The man put on the headsets and tried to listen to the part of the conversation he had recorded. He wanted to see if the voices of the two people were clear. He closed his eyes and tried to hear the results. He then nodded his head while smiling.

"good. This is enough as proof." He then stood up, left some money on his desk and then walked out of the cafe. He felt his mission to obtain the answer the passage requested by Big Boss who assigned him had been completed. "Hopefully Big Boss is satisfied!" he said while lighting a cigarette.

The man stood up, looking at his watch.

"There's still enough time to come back tonight" he told himself.

A taxi stopped and he went inside.

"Airport, sir" he said.

He only carried a medium-sized bag containing only a few pieces of clothing, cameras, tapping equipment, and some files.

As per his promise to his Big Boss, He will soon return to the homeland if the necessary information is enough. His Big Boss doesn't demand too deep an investigation because he's not dragging anyone into the realm of law. It's all for his personal needs.

Taxi continues to drive towards Changi airport. The man took a night flight to get to Jakarta as soon as possible. The second stage payment was waiting. He can't wait to enjoy his work.
