Patiently they waited for the intruders to leave and while they were doing this they didn't look away from the door.
Not long they heard footsteps and from the sound of it, they knew it was moving away.
Outside the corridor leading to the staircase, two men were seen walking further away from Tiffany's room.
In the sitting room, the man wearing a grey knitted long-sleeve shirt was seen sitting on a golden couch with his back leaning against it.
A man in a black suit was seen standing beside where he sat.
"Sir, judging from what we heard coupled with the reports our men made about the Young Miss, it looks like she is up to something," the guy popularly known as Sniper by the underworld men informed.
The rough-looking guy who had a scar behind his right ear gave off an evil aura at first glance.
His face which was ever deprived of a smile will make one think he had facial paralysis.
"She can do whatever she likes," Mr Martinez replied. He reached out his hand to take the glass of wine from the table but the agile man standing by his side stretched his hand and carried the wine glass.
"Have it, Sir," He said as he passed the wine glass to Mr Martinez.
Slowly he took a sip from the strong liquor and passed the wine glass over to Sniper again.
"As long as she doesn't jeopardize my plans then I am okay with whatever she does," Mr Martinez asserted.
There was silence in the vast sitting room afterwards. Minutes later Mr Martinez was seen scrutinising every corner of the room with his eagle eyes.
He brought back his gaze to Sniper's face after confirming it was just the two of them in the sitting room.
"I saw that the news showing the execution of our plans has been all over the news for the past three days. I must commend you for a job well done," Mr Martinez complimented. There was a sense of satisfaction on his face as he talked.
"I mean I know I asked you to give the headlines to the reporters but the rate at which the news circulated was more than my expectations," Mr Martinez continued, still maintaining his smiling face.
"With how things are progressing I guess it's a matter of time before the storm brewing finally arrives".
"Sorry to inform but our men were not responsible for two of the incidents which were reported on the news," Sniper informed with his head bowed.
The smile on Mr Martinez's face faded away the instant he heard Sniper's confession. "What do you mean by that?" Mr Martinez demanded coldly.
To respond, Sniper stood properly. With his gaze glued on Mr Martinez's face, he began "Our men indeed carried out the task as we planned but the incidents that took place on these two locations, Sapphire and Silver Street shown on television were not carried out by our men ''.
"Also, we only offered three media houses information about the incident but surprisingly almost all the media houses in the Kingdom got their hands on the details of the incident that took place…,"
"Are you trying to tell me that someone else is not only behind the incident in those two locations but also possessed the power to influence the media?" Mr Martinez cut in sharply. There was an expression of shock on his face as he took a guess.
"I believe so Sir," Sniper's reply was short but had a huge impact on Mr Martinez's mood.
Mr Martinez's mind began working as fast as lightning after receiving the news. He stood up from the couch and walked about the front of the marble centre table.
"Who could be responsible for this and why?" Mr Martinez muttered as he continued walking about.
"After the incident he seized the Minister's treasures and went as far as locking their sons up; he had long crossed the line. It's not a surprise if he has more enemies other than you," Sniper retorted.
"Of course, I am aware of that," Mr Martinez said, turning to face Sniper.
"What I am worried about is whether this mysterious person is a friend or a foe who will pose a threat to my great plans. As you know nothing can go wrong in making my long-time dream a reality," Mr Martinez stated his fears.
An enemy in the dark is the scariest, unlike the one you are aware of. You can guard against an enemy you know but never against an enemy you don't know since it can be anyone.
He can strike you anytime thereby catching you unawares.
He has planned for so long to want to see some new enemy come out of nowhere to ruin his well-crafted scheme.
He must succeed no matter what and not just succeed but make sure he teaches the proud King a lesson.
"Sir, I and our men will make sure nothing goes wrong. No matter who this mysterious person is, we won't give him/her the pleasure of ruining your big plans," Sniper assured confidently.
"Since we don't know whether this mysterious person is an enemy or foe, tell our men to be extra cautious as they go about executing the task," Mr Martinez decided to take a precaution. This way they won't be caught off guard".
"I will relay your orders to them, Sir. I will also make sure your plans are flawlessly carried out," Sniper said. With a bow of the end, he exited the room when Martinez had no more orders to give.
"My plans must succeed no matter what," Mr Martinez stated clenching his fist.
…
On a less busy road, a guy was seen chasing after a lady wearing green trousers and a floral long-sleeve shirt.
"Audrey, wait up. I need to talk to you," The guy repeated the words for the tenth time.
"Sorry but I don't have anything to say to…," She was unable to finish her words when the guy walking by her side grabbed her hand.
She glared at him but her murderous glares didn't scare the young man in the red shirt one bit.
