Everyone in the Giblo residence had their blood tested. Everyone from the master, underlings, bodyguards, and maids. They got their result on the same day. Everything was fine.
However, the incubation period for AIDS was long. The real results might only come out a few months down the line. Carla told everyone to be extra careful in the meantime so they won't infect anyone else. Then she told Naya to send her staff over to check up on them regularly.
She also told everyone to keep the thing about the blood test a secret. "Never in any situation can you talk about it."
Zayn disagreed. "Why not? We shouldn't keep it a secret. In fact, we should leak it out."
"Huh? Why'd you say that?" Carla asked, then she realized what he had in mind. "Oh, you want Boris to find out about this so he would go to the hospital?"
"The green snake's venom is just like flu. It's not lethal, and he will heal eventually. He won't die even if he gets no treatment. We don't know where he's hiding, and he's too careful, so we have to come up with a way to lure him out."
"Oh, yeah!" Carla was excited. "I'll get someone to spread the news right away!"
"Leave it to Brandy. You stay at home." Zayn didn't want her to worry. "Get prepared. We're seeing Daemon tonight, and we need to prepare some gifts."
"What?" Well, that's even more of a headache. "What kind of gifts should I get? I don't think Daemon needs anything."
"Then give them to Derila and her kids." Zayn pinched her cheeks. "You know what they like, right?"
"I do, yeah, but what about Derila then?"
Carla had only met Derila once, and she didn't know much about her.
"Anything expensive and valuable item will do." Zayn smiled.
"I see." Carla nodded and went back home to make the arrangements.
"Slow down. You're not in any hurry. You're injured too, " Zayn reminded her gently.
Carla waved him down and left in a hurry.
Zayn sent her off and went back to work, then he noticed he had seven missed calls. All of them were from Nella. He was about to call her back, but she called him again. He took the call immediately. "Hello?"
"Mr. Giblo, this is urgent. Can we meet up?"
"Of course. Come to my office-"
"No, I'm not going to your company. Let's meet up outside."
"Fine. How does the restaurant across the company sound?"
"Fine by me. Be there in ten."
"See you then." Zayn hung up, and he frowned. He had a guess why Nella was seeing him, and he knew he must be the one to settle things with her. He took Brandy with him to the restaurant, and he called Carla while he was on the way there. "Just ignore Nella on whatever she does. I will deal with her."
"Oh, I called her though. I wanted to ask her out and make things clear with her."
"You can't make things clear with her. She's too emotional about this. She won't be convinced by you."
"What should I do then?"
"Leave it to me, " Zayn said adamantly. "Just stay back and take care of the kids."
"Very well then. Be careful."
"I will." Zayn hung up and asked Brandy, "Have you found out everything about the girl?"
"Yes. They're sending the deets over to me. Brandy was holding his tablet, and someone was sending a file over.
When they came to Platinum Café, the first thing they saw was a group of Nella's men. She was the head of the Gold family, so it was normal for her to bring a dozen bodyguards around.
However, she covered her head with a veil, and she was wearing sunglasses to up the mystery factor. When she saw Zayn, she quickly stood up to welcome him. She was rather excited. "Mr. Giblo!"
"Sit." Zayn looked calm. He gesticulated to his underlings. All of them left while Brandy stayed behind.
