DOUBLE CROSS

Chapter 3

Walking like almighty, Damon knows the card he was holding and he is going to play it in sure win. He walks towards the Director's office of this company. Later on, he will be the next director and that is a prize of the smart like him.

He still have so much step to take but at least he is now stepping closer to his priorities. He won't take too long for that. Because he know that sometimes, planning too long would just end up in your disappointment and he would never like that.

He will be seeing his name in the magazine later and he could just walk his ass around with the power in his name — outside the underground. His phone rang and his best friend's name appeared on it.

He shoke his head and swipe his phone left chuckling imagining the face of Franklin after he ended the call.

"Hello sir, what can I do for you?"

He bet this girl is the director's secretary. She's pretty but clearly not his type. He looked at her from head to toe and she really not his type so he looked at her back into her eyes.

"Call Mr. Del Pilar for me, please," he said smiling sweetly to the girl.

He saw how the girl's ear turned red. Damn! It always happened and he didn't do anything, he was very and damn innocent how come these girls blushed like hell?

"Ahm. Sir, d-do you h-have a-an a-appointment with Mr. Del Pilar?" she even stutter.

Damon don't like playing girls that would never benefit him in the end of the game. He was always the ace player in every game and he always win and will always win. Girls are just a pain in the ass, they would just be a hindrance for his goal in life.

"Ms., what are you?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, sir?"

"I asked you, what are you?"

The girl narrowed her eyes like she was confused with him asking who was her.

"Sir, I am Director Del Pilar's secretary," she answered directly that made Damon smiled like a saucer.

"Exactly, you are the secretary, you would know if I have an appointment with your boss. Now, please call Ms. Del Pilar for me and tell him, I don't much of a patience," he whispered.

He smirked when he saw how the girl gulped and nodded. She then scanned her computer and looked at the appointment set. Sometimes, human are just making theirselves dumb. Was she high? Or she was just not focus in her job?

"Sir, may I know your name please?" She shyly and awkwardly asked.

Damon was thinking and expecting that. It was funny that she went to check if he has an appointment in her computer without knowing his name. What the heck.

"X."

"Beg me pardon, sir?"

Damon breath deeply and sighed before giving back his sight to the woman.

"Just call your boss and tell him that there's an X waiting for him to come out," he calmly said and sat his ass down the couch in front of this secretary's table.

"I'm really sorry sir, but Mr. Del Pilar don't accept walk in visitors. He only caters those who have an appointment with him," the secretary insisted.

Damon doesn't really have much of a patience and now he is losing the rest the he has. He looked at down to calm himself before looking back to the girl. He leans his arm into the table while looking straight and deep into the girl's eyes.

"I swear, he'll treat me different. Call him and again tell him that there's an X waiting for him to come out and that he doesn't have much of patience," he said calmly but seriously despite of the smile playing in his lips.

The girl looked at him trying to understand what the heck does he want and he was trying to be cool. Damon saw that. He can bring this girl into her knees if he want to but he don't like that. He won't do that to a girl — at least not in the working place.

He is kind off, conservative. He leans his back into the back rest when the girl turned her back without saying anything. Thinking that he is some kind of a Holy cringe him a lot. He screw girls but he really don't like them.

He looked at his phone when it rang back and again, Frankin's name appeared in the caller ID. This time, he swiped it right and pressed the phone in his ear. Unfortunately for Franklin, Mr. Del Pilar is coming on his way that he has to put the phone back down.

Mr. Del Pilar is not so pleased when he saw him. This old man is scardy cat, however he ran into the wrong person. He ran into X's arm in underground, didn't he know that X don't do thing for free? He always asked for an exchange and he took the advantage of all the things and doors that opens for him.

"Mr. X ---"

"Damon Rivero is the name, Director Del Pilar," he cut him off by introducing his full name.

The old man sighed. "Mr. Rivero, please follow me into my office."

Damon smiled widely and looked at the secretary who don't have plan of removing her eyes on him. He shrugged that made the girl blushed like red red.

"Turn off." He mumbled himself before following the old man who really is not happy that he came here.

He didn't do appointment, he just came her because he want it now. He can't waste a second. He has goal and he is aiming it. He got just so lucky that he was born wise. Well, he really do believe the saying that goes into "work wiser not harder."

"Mr. X --- I mean, Mr. Rivero," the old man started the moment he closed the office door. This man knows thay bringing him in a closed door where no one can hear them is not a good thing, isn't he?

"Mr. Del Pilar, I am not taking no for an answer," he seriously said that caught the whole attention of the old man.

"This my business, I worked hard for this ---"

"I can bring this down in just a snap. Don't forget that your name, your safety in the underground is in my hand, Mr. Del. Pilar. Now, is it a yes or yes?"
