Deep love: insatiable lover

The two parted at the entrance to the café.

After watching Vanessa get into her car and drive away, Iris also got into her white Toyota and drove off as if nothing had happened, under the watchful eye of the bodyguards in the shadows.

She didn’t seem to notice anything, but after the car had driven a few streets away, she discreetly glanced behind her in the rear-view mirror. No suspicious car was visible before she quickly pursed her lips.

Well, now no one was following him.

Iris turned left in front of her and the car turned a corner and entered another main road.

After about half an hour’s drive, the car stopped in front of an ordinary-looking restaurant.

Iris got out of the car and went straight into the restaurant.

From the outside, the hotel looked ordinary, and the same was true inside. It was like a slightly fancier restaurant in a small town, with a lot of people inside and a lot of noise everywhere.

It is the best place to talk.

Because no one pays attention to what you say to the people around you, everyone is shouting.

Iris walks around the room and, naturally, finds an empty seat, strides over and sits down. There was a menu on the table, a simple page, excessively laminated on the outside.

It looks dirty and greasy.

Iris thought nothing of it, but scanned the menu and ordered a few dishes and waited patiently. Less than five minutes later, a plainly dressed man entered.

When she saw Iris, she walked straight towards him and greeted him with a natural smile.

-I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.

The two men exchanged pleasantries as if they were normal friends and then took their seats.

The waiter brought a small pot of tea and the man poured a cup of tea for Iris and himself.

They were an ordinary couple among the guests who came for lunch this afternoon, and no one noticed anything out of the ordinary, let alone anyone else.

-How did it go?

-Do I have to ask if it’s up to me?

Iris curved her lips into a confident smile, but the man’s expression did not relent. Although there was still a smile on his face, there was seriousness written in his eyes.

You’d better be careful – if you fall this time, the consequences are not something you can afford.

-Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control. Don’t forget that Nana is my biggest bargaining chip.

As long as Nana was around, she would have easy and convenient access to Vanessa, her daughter.

-In any case, you’d better give me the benefit of the doubt. Without further ado, you know we don’t have much time. If it works, we’ll have a large sum of money waiting for us, and we can go abroad or elsewhere later, and live out the rest of our lives with impunity.

-I know, I don’t need you to remind me.

Iris expressed impatience at the other woman’s repeated warnings.

She had always been confident and hadn’t screwed up any of her previous missions. This mission could not have been easier for her, it was just a trick, and she could have done it in a jiffy.

He did not understand why the man in front of him had to remind himself again and again to be cautious when it was so obvious that he was so good at the task.

The man said nothing more and the two remained silent for a while.

It wasn’t long before the man stirred uncomfortably and his phone, which he kept in his trouser pocket, vibrated.

-It’s a call from my employer.

The man finished, quickly pulled out his phone and picked it up.

He did not open his mouth, but waited for the other man to speak first.

-Tell your partner to act quickly, I can’t wait any longer.

The phone hung up as soon as he said it.

The anxiety of the other side was evident.

-What’s going on?

Iris asked with a raised eyebrow, her eyes full of disbelief.

-You said you had, didn’t you?

-Of course you have, haven’t I told you everything?

Iris asked with some impatience, and the man’s gaze was wary and careful as he said.

-Our employer told us to act quickly and that there was no time. Find out when the nearest opportunity is and let’s hurry.

-Leave it to me.

said Iris with a nod of her head.

The two did not continue the conversation after that, but ate like normal people in disguise.

When they had finished eating, the two said goodbye naturally.

Iris got into her car and drove off, and the white Toyota soon disappeared down the street.

As she seemed to be celebrating her usual dinner with friends, she didn’t think anything of it even when the bodyguards followed her here later.

And so this important clue was broken, hidden in the deepest recesses, unnoticed by anyone.

Cecilia was driven home from school by Vanessa and Dylan.

Tomorrow is a double day off at the nursery and there is no school.

-Mum, can I invite Nana to play on our family ranch? Today I told Nana about the lambs and the swans and the plum deer in the meadow and Nana is especially envious and wants to go and see them, is that OK?

Neither Vanessa nor Dylan could bear to say no to their lovely daughter’s request.

-Yes.

If your daughter likes it, of course she will. We can’t restrict Cecilia’s freedom every day because of Santiago, we can’t keep her at home.

-Great, then I’ll call Nana when I get home and invite Nana and Nana’s mother to come and play at our ranch.

-Good.

Vanessa smiled and kissed her daughter on the cheek.

Vanessa was happy to see the deep friendship she had with Nana.

Immediately after returning home, Cecilia called Nana at home and the two girls seemed to have an endless conversation, laughing and smiling from time to time, happy like few others.

-Why does your daughter like Nana so much?

-I would like to know.

Dylan looked at his daughter who wouldn’t let go of the phone. He had managed to get off work and wanted to spend more time with her, but all she was doing was talking to her best friend on the phone.

Mr Dylan expressed some jealousy.

Vanessa looked at him in amusement and said:

-What’s wrong with you? I’ll let you play with your daughter a bit more in the evening, or even bathe her.

-Really?

-Of course it’s true, I could still lie to you.

Vanessa wept and laughed at the beaming Dylan, thinking that the image of Mr Dylan as a wise and prudent man was becoming increasingly elusive.

He was a total slave to the daughter when it came to his daughter.

-All right, you stay here with Candy while I go cook. I’ll cook something delicious for you two tonight, be good.

-Is there a reward for the night if I behave myself?

Vanessa turned around, gave Dylan a flirtatious smile and turned to leave.

The word excitement was interpreted perfectly.

-Really.

Dylan shook his head and smiled, under his tutelage Vanessa had become increasingly comfortable with the act of teasing him from time to time. Well, for him the change was good and he was enjoying it.

Withdrawing his loving gaze, Dylan realised that his girl had finally hung up the phone.

-Honey, come to daddy. Daddy has missed you so much!
