Chapter 2 - The agreement

TWO

Lilian felt a rush of adrenalin. She thought that her plan

to assassinate Timothy had gone down the drain. Not knowing what his next move,

she grabbed her bag with force. She had set her entire focus on how to

defend herself.

“What? You look startled. Did you actually believe that I would

kill someone whose worth so much for my benefit”.

William said with a straight face.

Lilian was dumbfounded. Although she had been working as an assassin

for a little over a decade, she had always been aware of her surroundings and

the people whom she’d work with.

“ Of course not. I trust you that you would not make such irrational decisions which

would otherwise make you face great loss. After all, it would have taken your precious

time to have such a conversation.” Lilian said while her heart was beating like crazy.

The idea that she was being betrayed by her own organization made her feel a lump in her throat. She was

ready to face them face to face. However, she was smart enough to keep calm

before she took impulsive action.

Lilian sat back down, looking at Timothy glairing with her olive green eyes. She

could see the pride and greed in his eyes, but she knew that she couldn't let that stop

her. She had a job to do, a mission to complete.

But she also had a plan.

She brushed her fingers through her silver silky straight hair and calmed

herself from feeling overwhelmed. and continued.

"I'll help with your tasks, but in exchange for doing the tasks quickly, you have to

help me find some important information. I don't want anyone else to know about this

little transection of ours"

"And what makes you think that a person like me..... would be the most reliable

person that would find you such secret information?" Timothy said with a grin on his face.

"It's because after working in this field for such a long time, the one thing i learned

is that the closer that you are with a certain person, the more unpredictable  they  are.

And that a stranger could be more trustworthy than the ones you are closer to."

Timothy nodded slowly. "I can do that. But what information is so hard for

you to obtain... that you want my help?

"it's about my origin. I want to know who my biological parents are. And where they are." Lilian said with a straight face.

They had a verbal agreement on helping each other. But also made a paper contract for helping each other for completion of their tasks.

Over the next few days, Timothy found bits and pieces of information about her parents and where they were currently staying. Everything he knew about her parents was still not much. It was just a few scraps of information. But. It was enough. Enough to let Lilian know her origin.

Nevertheless, Timothy did not hand Lilian the information that he had gained. He kept the information hidden from Lilian until he collected the exact information about her origin and her story of how she ended up in that shady orphanage.

Meanwhile, Lilian was constructing a fullproof plan on how to assassinate Timothy without him really knowing what was going on around him.
