285 Pandora’s box
“Then show me the photo of what Suri calls the girl named Elena Wilson whose face looks a lot like mine.”
“You want to see it?” Christian asks, surprised.
Zwetta nodded quickly. “Yeah, I wonder if you’re bragging or not.”
“So you doubt me?”
Zwetta shrugged her shoulders. “Of course, yes! Everything you say is very unreasonable, how can Suri recognize me as someone else? Even though it was clear that at that time I was wearing a mask that covered my face and I’m sure if only yesterday I didn’t reprimand Suri first maybe he just won’t recognize me.”
Christian is silent, his genius brain digesting the string of words Zwetta said.
Zwetta’s eyes lifted, watching Christian’s fluctuating expression. As a secret agent trained by Robin the longest, Zwetta has the ability to read the facial expressions of the interlocutor above her other friends. That’s why Zwetta became the person Robin relied on because of that ability.
“I didn’t keep the photos,” Christian says quietly. “If you don’t mind, we can go somewhere where we can...”
“Nope!! I’m not going anywhere, if you want to show me the photo then bring it to me. Not the other way around.” Zwetta cut Christian’s words firmly. “I’m a person who can’t trust people I just met, so I’m sorry I won’t go along with your wishes.”

Christian looks so disappointed and surprised to hear Zwetta which are very to the point, the girl whose face is very similar to Elena really has a very different personality from Elena. Without opening his lips, Christian grabs his cell phone from the table and immediately calls Ronin, the cyber army he trusts. Not wanting to make Zwetta suspicious, Christian activates his cell phone’s loudspeaker so that Zwetta hear his conversation with Ronin well.
“In ten minutes I’ll be where you are, boss.”
“Ok, I’m waiting for your arrival.” Christian responds to Ronin’s last words by still not breaking his eye contact with Zwetta.
Of all the shocking facts Christian has come across over the past few months, seeing the face of a girl who looks so much like Elena is one of the most painful for him.
The delicious aroma of the food that was already served in front of them didn’t even succeed in making Zwetta or Christian stop staring at each other and start eating, both of them chose to ignore the food. Until finally when Ronin came, the delicious and mouthwatering food was still intact and untouched.
Ronin, who at first didn’t pay much attention to Zwetta looked so calm as he sat next to Christian, but when he turned his face to Zwetta who was sitting on his right, Ronin almost dropped his cellphone. Even though they haven’t met Elena in person, Ronin still remembers Elena’s face.
“Elena Wilson...”
“My name is Zwetta, not Elena.”
“Huh what?”
Christian touches Ronin’s shoulder. “I’ll explain later, now it’s better to show me the photo of Elena and the photo of the girl in the mask coming out of the hotel where Suri is being held.”
Ronin, who finally understood the situation, immediately took out his laptop from his backpack, using the empty side of the desk Ronin opened the important files in the black laptop.
“Have you found it?” Christian asks impatiently.
Ronin nodded and then handed his laptop to Christian who had been looking very tense, with a little haste Christian grabbed Ronin’s laptop and re-checked Ronin’s work as he wanted. After feeling sure, Christian then raised his face towards Zwetta who had not taken his eyes off Christian since.
“Look at this,” Christian said quietly as he handed Ronin’s laptop to Zwetta. “The photo on the left is a photo of Elena and Wilson and the photo on the right is a photo of a masked girl who just came out of the hotel where Suri is being held, a girl that Suri said was part of her kidnap group.”
Zwetta who was impatient then grabbed the Ronin laptop that Christian had given him, Zwetta’s eyes immediately widened when she saw Elena’s photo. The beautiful photo of Elena she used to apply for a job in Christian’s office, the only photo left that Ronin has.
“How is that possible,” Zwetta quietly. “Why does she look so much like me?”unconsciously Zwetta touched her own face.
“Isn’t this photo of you, is it?”
Zwetta immediately gave a murderous look to Ronin who was just talking nonsense. “What? Try to repeat the sentence you just said earlier?!”
Ronin swallowed his saliva when he felt Zwetta ‘s drastic change in emotions, he didn’t expect that the words he just said had such a big effect on the girl who looks so much like Elena.
“Zee...”
“My name is Zwetta.” Zwetta cut Christian’s words firmly. “I was born, lived and raised in America. And this is my first arrival in Luxembourg, so don’t talk nonsense like that.”

“Don’t be mad, Zee.”
Ronin immediately turned to Christian. “Zee? Is she the secret agent that Kainer spoke of before, sir?”
“Yes, I’m,” answered Zwetta curtly. “I’m the one who accidentally got into trouble with that spoiled princess for carrying out my pursuit of Osbert.”
Ronin’s mouth was wide open. “A pursuit mission on Osbert?”
“The person who kidnapped Suri was an Angel Hunter named Osbert, Ronin. He was looking for and targeting a girl to sell to his customers, and at that time he targeted Suri to sell to a Japanese man named Yamada Naoki,” Christian said quietly, briefly explaining the problem of Suri’s abduction which involved many people.
Ronin, who still didn’t understand, blinked his eyes again, even though he was very clever with the cyber world but Ronin was not smart enough to digest this kind of problem.
Zwetta impatiently grabbed her backpack which she put quickly, Zwetta took out her laptop and busied herself with her favorite laptop. After three minutes had passed, Zwetta then shifted Ronin’s laptop and showed her laptop to Christian and Ronin.
“If you don’t believe me, you can see this. This is the result of my observation on Osbert for a week before he launched his action,” Zwetta quietly. “I’ve also saved all of Osbert’s conversations and his people, as well as Osbert’s conversations with Yamada Naoki while determining the price of Suri.”
Christian’s face immediately changed when he heard Zwetta’s, although his anger and disappointment at Suri had not disappeared, but when he heard that his sister was being traded, his emotions rose again.
“Is there a more private room in this place?”
“A more private room?” Ronin repeated Zwetta’s.
Zwetta nodded. “Everything on this laptop is a secret and actually I’m not allowed to tell anyone, but because all these tangled threads need to be straightened out so I have to open my work to you. I hope after seeing this none of you call me by the name Elena again and the photo you showed earlier, the photo of the girl in the mask is me. I was the one who came out of the hotel.”
