Episode 20

Marco: -Hehe, it seems I'm off the hook today.

Amai: -That's great, I'm a little hungry, want to grab something to eat with me?

Marco: -Let's go, I have some free time today.

Amai: -Let's go then.

Amai went with Marco to eat something.

Marco thought "This is the perfect moment to find out something, now that he is always with the boss he must know something".

Marco: -Where are we going?

Amai: -Hmm, show me a place you usually go to.

Marco: -Sure, since you want to know a place I always go to, let's walk, it's close by.

Amai agrees and they walk...

While walking:

Marco: -How's your relationship with the boss going?

Amai: -It's going well.

Marco: -That's good, it seems like you've gotten very close to him.

Amai: -Yes, speaking of which, I have some news to tell you.

Marco: -Tell me.

Amai thinks "I don't think it would be right to tell him about the trip, what if the boss wants to add or put in some more information".

Amai: -Never mind, it was nothing.

Marco: -Hmm, okay then... we're here, this is a street stall that sells porridge, to me it's one of the best here.

Marco takes the money out of his pocket:

Marco: -Hi, Mrs. Cir (owner of the porridge shop) I want a sweet corn one, what do you want Amai?

Amai: -Recommend me one.

Marco: -Give me a cheese one, please.

Amai: -Cheese? That's a bit strange.

Marco: -The only strange thing is the name because the taste is soooo good.

Then Marco pays and walks back with Amai to the house. Arriving there:

Jay: - Marco, the CEO wants to talk to you, preferably right now.

Marco: -We'll have to part ways now, Amai, the boss wants to talk to me.

Marco gives a little smile and leaves.

Amai: -It seems the CEO will tell him now, I hope we can leave soon...

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office...

Marco arrives:

Marco: -Excuse me, boss, Jay told me you wanted to talk to me, what was it?

CEO: -Sit down, why be so formal, we're friends, remember?... So, I came to tell you something important, I'm going on a trip to deal with the car sales company in Mercani, I need you to stay here to lead until I get back...

Marco: -Okay, how long will you be there?

CEO: -As long as it takes to resolve things there. Between you and me, we're going to try to find out some things about Amai's mother.

Marco: -Really? How interesting.

IMPORTANT FACT

(Marco was sent on this mission but did not know the real reason, he was motivated by revenge for his sister, and ended up not even questioning it at the time, but as time went by, he began to question the real reason for being there, he wondered "Why did the boss send me here? It wasn't just to gather information, I need something solid, he always tells me I need to gather information to kill someone, but he never told me who it was". So one day when the boss called Marco, he asked the boss the real reason, and the boss simply said "I'll tell you the reason in due time."

Marco was left with that on his mind, he thought many times that he could have refused the mission, but he was so blinded by revenge that he didn't ask for details.)

BACK TO THEIR CONVERSATION

CEO: -We leave tomorrow morning.

Marco: -That soon?

CEO: -It has to be as soon as possible.

Marco: -You can count on me, boss, you won't regret it.

CEO: -You will have the assistance of Regi (advisor).

Marco: -Understood, well I'll take my leave.

Marco leaves the CEO's office, while walking he thinks:

Marco: -This is the perfect time to find out more, when the boss (Southern Mafia) calls I'll tell him about this trip, who knows I can even plan something.

Meanwhile Amai was on the treadmill, he couldn't stand still, he was anxious about the trip, and training was the only way to distract himself a little. Amai stops training to grab a water and sit down, and suddenly the CEO appears:

CEO: -Working out hard at this hour?

Amai: -Yes, I need to exercise sometimes, right?

CEO: -Come with me.

The CEO calls Amai to go to his room.

In the room:

Amai: -Why did you call me here?

The CEO approaches and kisses Amai.

CEO: -I wanted to have more privacy with you.

Amai: -Is that all? Can I go then?

CEO: -Just kidding, I have some clothes I barely wore, I think I can give them to you, they're not that good but I think some of them might fit you.

The CEO takes clothes from the wardrobe and puts them on the bed:

CEO: -These are some that aren't to my taste, and I ended up never wearing them.

Amai starts rummaging through the clothes...

Amai: -Wow, there are a lot of nice clothes here, how come you barely wore them?

CEO: -It's because when I became boss, I had to change the way I dress, you know, a boss has to look like a boss.

Amai: -Makes sense... I'm going to take some of these clothes, I really like them, they're colorful and they suit me.

CEO: -I imagined so.

Then after picking up the clothes, before going to his room, Amai gives the CEO a peck on the lips:

Amai: -See you tomorrow morning, boss.

Then Amai goes to his room...

MEANWHILE, AT DAWN...

Marco and Amai were sleeping, suddenly Marco wakes up, and since his bed was facing Amai's, he looked at him and thought "He's so handsome and skilled, with a few more years of experience he has the potential to be one of the best subordinates or even a boss."

The Boss (from the South) calls Marco.

Marco: -He finally called me.

Marco goes to the bathroom so as not to wake up Amai:

Marco: -You finally called me, I have news. The CEO is traveling tomorrow, and he left me in charge, it's a perfect opportunity to get secret information from here, and I can even let you guys invade here, or send someone to give me support.

Southern Boss: -No, the time has finally come to tell you who I'm after, in short, I had an affair with a woman and she got pregnant, years later she came to me to tell me she was pregnant with my child, and soon after I tried to erase her from the world along with that child, but it seems that it didn't work out very well, because the only one who died was her. Recently I found out who this "son" of mine is, I can't let him live, he could be heir to the mafia, as he is older than my real son, this Amai is a problem.

Marco: -Really? Coincidentally this "Amai" is my roommate and the CEO told me they are going on this trip to find out something about his mother, I already knew about his mother and such, but now the story that she died hit by a car fits in with yours.

Southern Boss: -A great opportunity, but what the hell are they going to find out about his mother? Since she's dead. Anyway, if I had told you sooner, you would certainly have had the opportunity to kill him. Go ahead, try to kill him now.

Marco: -Right.

Marco came out of the bathroom, grabbed a cloth, and planned to suffocate Amai to death:

Marco: -A quick and silent death.

As Marco approached Amai, he looked at his beautiful face.

Marco still in disbelief :

Marco: -Yeah, the boss's son, who would have imagined that...

As Marco was about to suffocate him, he heard footsteps, so Marco ran and lay down on the bed, pretending to be asleep, the CEO entered:

CEO: -Amai, let's go, wake up, it's time!

Amai: -Already? So early...
