He was definitely up to no good

"Where could he be? He's meant to be maling the announcement?" Bergamin sighed,

Right after his words, Leonica felt a vibration inside her purse. When she pulled it open, the realized it was her second phone ringing and it was Rodrigo calling

"I have an important call to take. Please excuse me." She excused herself to a less crowded area before answering.

"Hello Mr. Rodrigo."

"Hello, Mrs. Smith, I was just calling to inform you that the inauguration ceremony is about to begin yet I couldn't find you anywhere."

"Oh I'm present and I'm seeing everything that's happening. You just need to handle the ceremony's opening, I'll come on stage when it's time." She answered and Rodrigo smiled in a sinister manner on the other end, thinking about the remaining 15 Billion dollars that he was going to get paid after tonight "okay Men Smith.

"Hey." He greeted

"Hi," she responded. "I'm sorry for bumping into you, was so caught up in my thoughts that i didn't notice-"

"I know." Gabriellterrupted her "I could tell you weren't paying attention to your surroundings."

His words rendered Leonics speechless for a few seconds.

He could tell? How long had he been watching her?

Those two questions probed her mind to get an answer, but she pushed them to the back of her mind.

"Ch, is that so? Well, How have you been, Gabriel?" she asked, trying her best not to sound awlorard, but that was the case

"I've been doing good. What about you?"
