IN THE CAGE

116. ERADICATE TRUST

...NORMAL pov...

...----------------...

When he heard the words assault and Margot in the same sentence, Vera's heart almost jumped from its sockets. He-without paying any attention to Anggara again, instantly leaves the man and Leviathan without consideration, without hesitation.

Vera's mind was just one, Margot's condition. She worries that her young lady, who is as fond as Vera, should be confined to the house. Margot doesn't have a schedule outside today. He even said he didn't need Vera because he just wanted to relax at home.

What the hell's going on?

Vera arrived in front of the Hunter residence in a hasty step. Without noticing the surrounding that somehow-looks mediocre-Vera continues towards Margot's room. Just then, as he opened the door to Margot's room, Vera was greeted by calmness. Vera astonishment. If Margot is attacked, it is impossible that the Hunter mansion will show calm.

"Welcome back," a familiar voice greeted Vera's ears, drawing her attention. He turned his head towards the balcony and found his boss sitting there relaxing, a glass of wine in his hand and long unraveling black hair. David and Willa accompany Margot. They looked at Vera with guilty expressions.

"What's going on here?" Vera stepped up with a stifled vexation. At least, he could already guess what Margot was doing. He just hopes that his crazy boss has a better reason than he already thought.

"I didn't think you'd actually believe it" Margot chuckled.

"Boss Margot, this isn't funny." Vera approaching. "Are you tricking me?"

"Don't ask me something that already has an answer." said Margot.

"So you did cheat me."

"I'm bored." Margot makes excuses.

Vera clenched her hand, "Boss Margot, do you know how anxious I am along the way here? I.., I almost had a heart attack because of that information. You're also David.., I think you're wiser."

"Don't blame David, that's my order." Margot grinned. Her lentic fingers wrapped around the glass like temptation.

"Daan, what's the purpose of this?" Vera doesn't like Margot's actions at all.

"I tested your loyalty, what else?"

"I think the loyalty test we passed a few years ago. I even protected you when other organizations tried to attack you in M? Oh, don't forget your kidnapping attempt on graduation day? I was there, my head almost broke!"

"Of course I remember. Those are the eras when you look like an emo gangster with a lot of holes in your body, a lot, not dramatic." Margot wiped the sweat of imagination on her forehead before tilting her head, "Also, as I recall, you slit people here and there, Vera. Don't change the narrative. You're still making it hard to eat because of those disgusting memories."

"The point is, I've proven my loyalty a long time ago, boss. Why are you pranking me?"

"Man is changing, how else? I who trusted you yesterday could not have trusted you today. Trust is a dangerous thing and I can't give it away just because we spent some time together."

"Yayayaya, whatever." Vera gives up on arguing with Margot. Because the heat had run, Vera also walked to the balcony. He took off the top two buttons of his flannel shirt and leaned against the iron fence. The night wind instantly greeted him, cooling his hot body like a baking pan fresh out of the oven.

"So, how was your date with Anggara?" Margot teased. "Are you in a hurry here while you're still doing this...?" Margot made a hand gesture that of course meant dirty. David turned his body against the wall. He was unhappy with the conversation and began to think that jumping from the second floor of Margot's room might not be a bad idea.

Vera-different from David-shows no discomfort. He looked at Margot with a smirk. Vera won't budge with her boss's madness.

Lately, Vera has been studying. To fight Margot's madness, he needed to deal with her madness with another madness. Therefore, Vera was ready with her dirty talk when she chimed in on her boss.

"Because David interjected, I can only make Mr. Angga come out in my mouth, Boss. We can't get to the stage you're referring to because I thought you'd be sad if I was late. I'll be late."

"What the fuck, you guys just met for a few minutes and he's out fast. Very premature."

"I'm just so great, boss. Anyway, I'm surprised you know we just met for a second. Did you set up the CCTV over there?"

"If he's such an embarrassment, why does he embarrass me in bed more often?"

"The question is, Vera, have you and Anggara ever done that in a place other than a public restroom?"

Vera slicked her shoulders. "Of course it ever was. In fact, I personally prefer to do it out in the open."

"Can we talk about another topic?" David interjected and this time, he would actually jump off the balcony if the topic was sustainable.

Of course, David understood that what the two were talking about was nothing real. However, David could not stop himself from imagining the dirty thing happening. No, that doesn't mean he imagines Vera naked outside with Anggara clutching her wildly.

No, David just thought that the public places he used to visit - now turned into dirty places in the sense of perversion and ugh.

How could he come to the public restroom and not wonder, how many people have done such a disgusting thing there?

David's morale is tarnished.

"Someone is still a virgin apparently," Margot mocked David.

"Normal, to be exact." David took a breath. His face explained the confusion.

"All right, Vera." Still understanding to David, Margot also left her jokes and Vera. He jumped to a more important point.

"How is your relationship going with Anggara?" Margot crossed her legs. Willa poured more wine into her glass.

"Everything went well." Vera made a report.

"What about Evan?"

"I saw the man at Leviathan's exit."

Margot. "They must be following Anggara, seeing if he's done the right thing. Hehehehe. It's starting to be fun."

"He didn't give up on me, boss." Vera was a little guilty when she brought it up. He felt guilty because he could have let Anggara give up. He could have earned Anggara Evan's trust and not have to take another blow. However, Vera messes with Evan's plans. He seizes Anggara's heart and controls the man in his hands.

"That's the main point, isn't it?" Margot sipped wine in her glass before sharing the drink with Vera. Vera greeted him with respect.

"Disbelief, indecision is the most dangerous poison in relationships. If Evan gradually lost faith in Anggara, he would not hear Anggara again. Anggara is not smart, but he is quite rational and understands the things he should and should not do.., except about you, Vera."

Margot's words make sense. Anggara who abandoned his priorities for Vera's sake was the first mistake the man made. But Margot will not immediately consider Anggara stupid, Vera basically does have an attractive side. He's luring a dangerous man with his whereabouts.

"If Anggara's rational judgment is not listened to and all his powers are stripped away, Evan will do what Ace calculated. That Evan. He felt he could control everything. Now, it's time we control him."

"And what about me?" Vera looked up at the sky.

What will happen to her after all this is done?

"You're going to be an important point. I'll pay you high and give you 3 months off."

"That sounds fun" Vera sighed.

In the past, at least it sounded fun.
