His Precious Love

Chapter 61 Assassination

“Have the other lookout men not arrived yet?”

“No. From what I heard, they had some issues with their flight route, so they will only arrive at night,” James replied before realizing Curtis was carrying a suitcase. “Are you staying with me, Mr. Faymon?”

Oh, dear, I sure hope not. I’d rather stay with the other lookouts…

Curtis promptly placed the suitcase on the table but didn’t open it. “I just got this from my friend and came to pass it to you. We might have to make some changes to your mission.”

“Does it have to do with the amount of money?”

Even though they were discussing a serious matter, Curtis couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Why are you so fixated on money? You don’t seem poor to me.”

“Oh, but I am. My sister just got divorced, so I need to support her,” James replied with a shrug. In any case, I bet there’s something good in that suitcase. How I wish I could open it! As long as there’s money on the table, feel free to speak your mind, Mr. Faymon.”

“What does your sister do?”

Upon hearing that, James gave Curtis a guarded look. “That’s a private matter, Mr. Faymon. In all honesty, I hate everyone with the last name Faymon. I wouldn’t be talking to you if it weren’t for the money.”

Alarm bells started ringing in Curtis’ head. However, since James wasn’t keen on elaborating, he decided not to probe further. “The friend I’ve brought along is an important person. Nothing must happen to her. I’d like you to be her security detail throughout our hotel stay. If there are any problems, take care of them immediately. Gabriel has created new identities for all of you. The hotel staff won’t give anything away, either.”

James nodded. “Okay. How much will we be paid?”

After Curtis rattled off an amount, James managed to keep his cool even though he was shocked beyond belief. “Don’t worry, Mr. Faymon. I’ll make sure to keep all of you safe.”

Later that evening, at half past seven, Gabriel finally brought the four other men to the Machika Park Hotel and introduced them to James.

Out of the group, Cillian and another man had graduated from the same school as James, so it didn’t take long for them to get acquainted with one another.

Shortly after, Gabriel grabbed his luggage and went looking for Rayna.

Since he was still busy with work, Curtis had no choice but to let Gabriel accompany Rayna to the restaurant for dinner.
