The Prisoner of the Devils'

Cunning

Skylar hit the workbench strongly with his knuckle which made a male employee standing right in front of him gasp in shock.

"Stupid! How come you didn't check it first?" hard snapped. He got up and threw the rough large map containing the papers on the floor.

Silent for a moment, then the male employee cleared his throat nervously. "I'm sorry, sir. No one knew the contents of the map. All the employees thought that it was one of the submissions from the company that cooperated with this company."

"And you stupidly think that too? Andreas is the only person entitled to receive files from other companies. No one ever left that to the receptionist not even the secretary. You've been working here for years, but you still don't know the rules, huh?"

The man was silent for a moment after the voice of the superior was getting higher and ringing in his ears.

The man looked down full of regret. "I'm sorry, sir."

Skylar sighed heavily. "Get out!"

After the employee came out and closed the door, Skylar kicked his big chair violently. If only he had not seen the contents listed in the letter, perhaps this company, which he had started from the bottom with great difficulty was nothing more. Because Skylar almost signed the embezzlement letter from Gavino.

Gavino Alejandro is Skylar's greatest enemy. Maybe it can't be said that, because actually Gavino is the one who is always looking for trouble with him. The man is too ambitious to compete with his company. Gavino had even cheated so often just for wanting to take down Skylar. As of now, Gavino sent a letter of embezzlement in his own company, then deliberately on behalf of Skylar as the perpetrator. Really fucking!

Skylar then grabbed his phone and called someone.

"You're really great, Gavin."

There was a slight ruckus coming from across the phone.

"I have accepted it? Good," said Gavino across the street in a dismissive tone.

Skylar snorted violently. "Yes, I've already accepted it. Thank you for bothering yourself to make it. That letter is now the food of the rats in my trash." Skylar said it in a calm tone.

"Ah, and one more. Looks like you'll have to learn more cunningly before you try to destroy me, Mr. Gavin," he added before unilaterally severing the connection.

Skylar is really wrathful. His face looks terrible. Gavino has crossed the line, the man is never satisfied to disturb Skylar's life. Though everyone knew that he could not defeat a Skylar Aleandro Wolves at all, but the man kept trying, which would end up embarrassing himself.

Goddamnit! This can't be left anymore.

Skylar was fed up with whatever the man's devious plans were. And Skylar won't let that guy keep bothering him. ****!

On the other hand, after the connection was cut off, Gavino threw the completely innocent phone in any direction. He growled furiously and quickly stepped past the desk and hit his confidant strongly.

"Where's your brain, fool!?" gavino shouted with explosive anger. "He didn't sign the letter. How can you say that your task is done, if it turns out that everything is in vain?"

The man was silent, he even just looked down, avoiding the murderous gaze of the superior.

"You're deaf, huh?" again, after returning to the man's jaw, his big hand was raised.

Gavino turned his murderous gaze when he heard the sound of an oddity, and found a woman standing haughtily right in front of the door. I don't know since when the sexy woman was standing in the place. Gavino then told the man who had just been the target of his rampage to get out of the room.

Gavino frowned faintly. "What's wrong?"

The question that had just sounded managed to make the woman laugh cynically at hearing it.

"You ever hear the word 'fuck'?" ask the woman. "That's you, goddamn it!"

His outstretched finger pointed at the man he said was fucking right in front of his face. With a loud shrill voice, filled with great anger.

The man nodded heavily. "What do you mean?"

"You're a fraud!"

"Craud?" again Gavino began to be angry to see the woman was silent and just turned the eyeballs. "God damn it! Just talk to me. Now, *****!"

The woman was grieving. "I saw him yesterday, and the man just threw me out. You said he still wanted me. However, it seems like he now loves his fucking wife too much. Didn't I explain everything on the phone yesterday?"

"Bastard! Why are you laughing? Not feeling guilty?"

"You want me to help you, Ariana, baby?" The man scuttered and half-bent as he whispered the offer right in front of Ariana's face before again chuckling lightly as he looked at the fine frown on the woman's forehead. "cooperation. I can, you are like that too. Youunderstand?"

Ariana observed the look on Gavino's face that didn't seem to play with his words. The woman's eyebrows shot up cynically before making a sound, "Can you be trusted?"

"You can judge later."

Gavino said that sentence confidently.

And if it still doesn't work. There was no choice but to shake his weakness.

****

"How did Gavin easily get away with the letter?"

Andreas thrusts a brown map at Skylar who is staring angrily at him. The night is getting late. The large clock hanging in his private workspace gave a gripping atmosphere that was increasingly frightening.

"Itu—"

"Yes. I get it." Skylar nodded after looking at the contents of the map.

"Before you act, Mr. Carl's been investigating Gavin. We can get information from there if you agree," Andreas said later.

Skylar shook his head and leaned his back on the back of his chair.

"For this time, I don't need any help from the man" he said calmly. Returning to mind what the business partner's man and the husband of his cousin did when he and Gavino were in a major conflict. "I can handle it myself."

Andreas nodded in agreement. "Are you going to kill him?"

Skylar folded his hands in front of his chest. Staring at Andreas' dark eyes fixed while answering succinctly. "Yes." Yeah."

And that answer made Andreas seem tense there.

"But before he was actually killed, I wanted him to feel a bit of pain for daring to disturb my life" he continued after a few seconds of silence.

That cold and stern face really showed seriousness. Andreas knew full well that Skylar never played around in his words.

"What about Miss. Angela?"

The man threw his sharp gaze at another object. He snorted softly before replying, "Aman. I've sent some bodyguards to keep an eye on the situation there."

Andreas nodded again, then remembered someone who would definitely be another target for Gavino to pester his master. He cleared his throat briefly before issuing a question doubtfully. "Then what about Mrs. A starla? Is ... You're gonna sacrifice your wife's life?"

The sudden question made Skylar point her sharp iris at Andreas's face. The tension was clearly implied on Skylar's face. Then he quickly pulled over until he looked cool and calm again. He was always good at hiding that expression well, but not this time. Andreas caught the look of that anxious face.

Since he had known Skylar for almost ten years, and had been his personal assistant for the past seven years, Andreas must have known him very well. How stubborn his character. How is his attitude and nature.

But really, until this moment, he could never guess the contents of Skylar's heart. It is always never read. Wrapped perfectly with her flat and calm face.

"I'm not gonna let that happen. I trust you to watch him well. Command some confidants who can stand by you!"

The decree that had just sounded had managed to make Andreas exhale a sigh of relief. At least, Skylar still had a little conscience to protect the fragile figure of the woman from being disturbed by her enemy. Although Andreas knew that in the end, the woman would still suffer within Skylar's grasp.

Quickly, Andreas nodded in agreement.

"You're going to help me a lot this time, Andreas. And I swear, that guy's really gonna die at my hands."

That sound sounds scary. Like a promise in the dark that is so convincing. The sound flew through the air with the cold of the night, spreading fear. Andreas can feel it.
