478 Discussion (2)
."Andrew, any news on your side?" asked Alice after everyone had left.
"My informant had given me news that the leaders of each of the six families had gathered in New Bronx City. I guess they are also in the same situation as us and are preparing for the incoming storm. This is also a good chance to eliminate them since their security would certainly be lacking in some areas" Andrew replied with information that he didn't share earlier.
"My men are also prepared to storm the Rothschild Residence. Just give me the signal and I'll immediately tell my people to eliminate the Rothschilds" Compared to her carefree demeanor when Michael first met her, this Maurine right now is oozing with chilling intent.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
While listening to them, Alice seems to be suddenly absent minded since she just kept tapping her fingers on the table in a rhythmic pattern even after the two had already gone silent.
"Alice," Tom softly called out, and Alice immediately turned her eyes towards him.
"I know, and have your men on standby. We'll keep watching for now since Zero seems to want to sit this one out" Alice said with a hint of helplessness at the end.
"Why would he do that? Isn't this a good chance to take a bite out of this huge cake? Or is he afraid of the people from Blood Lion Clan? No, that's even more absurd since he doesn't even put them in his eyes at all" Maurine was so confused with what Alice said that she even answered her own questions.
"It's not any of those. It's about that dastardly son of mine" Alice replied while massaging her temples.
"Michael? What about him?" Andrew said with furrowed eyebrows, clearly confused how Michael was suddenly related to their discussion.
"Alright, I'll do that. The news will reach everyone's ears in an hour" Maurine replied as she slowly stood up from her seat, followed by her husband.
"We'll take our leave first then" Andrew said with a smile, and shot a look of pity towards Tom as he knows that he'll certainly suffer after they leave.
Tom shot him a look that they should stay, but Andrew quickly turned his away and immediately left the room with his wife like his butt was on fire!
'What a traitorous prick' Tom thought.
"Anna, can you get that file on Michael?" said Alice to their assistant that had been standing obediently behind them all this time.
"Yes ma'am" answered Anna, and soon, following after Andrew and Maurine, she also left, leaving Tom and Alice by themselves.
"Whaat? I didn't know that file was about Michael of all people. I just thought it was just another one of those files where it reports the status of our shares in the organization, and I thought you know about it since you always receive the more important files from the organization"
Under Alice's unending stare, Tom was feeling uncomfortable all over, but held on and still tried to explain his side of things.
Alice just sigh and said, "We'll continue this talk after Michael comes back from his school field trip"
"Alright, they'll be back after three more days" Tom replied with a sigh of relief like his life was just spared from getting executed.
