Nora P.O.V

The red silk gilded on my legs as I walked forward with an air of confidence surrounding me . Light shone from above and with my stride each of their attention drifted towards me . Their wandering expressions made me smirk from inside , some had envy in their eyes and most of them were curious .

Time to charm some pants off.

A seductive smile spread over my lips with the promise of wickedness as I watched the men there fall under my spell even though they had their hand around another female.

What a pig!

If I ever have to describe men and women then I would say men are like moths , gravitated towards fire even though they know it can burn them and women are like roses , beautiful but have thrones . Hurt her, you will not know what has stuck you.

They may be weak from the heart but not from the brain.

My smile dropped as soon as I entered the hall . Time for some actions. I took my mask from the table near the door and wore it like the others in the party. The golden colour mask had a long red feather on its side, it was covering half of my face up to my nose making it easy to hide my face. Lifting the wine glass from the tray as the waiter passed by I took a sip of my drink keeping an eye on my surroundings . I winked with a flirtatious smirk on my face at the group of men when I found them looking at me straight for too long. I can not let them get suspicious of me . Finishing the wine I placed the glass on a tray when a server passed by and moved towards the bar. From here I could see everything.

The party was extravagant, from lights to decoration, everything screamed money , just like the people here.Most of them were businessmen, top industrialists and came from well known families of Chicago. It is a shame , behind these glamorous faces lies criminals ,killers, smugglers and traffickers . In the skin of sheep they are the wolves that would not think twice to kill someone. Most of them have ties with one of Chicago's most wanted criminals, the DiFronzo family . The police and justice are putty in their hand. No one says a word if they kill someone , that is how the system works here.

"I am in" . I said it while dabbing my left cheek with a tissue covering my mouth from the watchful eyes . My microphone was my hair clip that was right behind my left ear, designed in a way that no metal detectors can detect it.

"Good . Our sources have confirmed that the diamonds have been transferred to the safe , five hours ago" informing me the call disconnects .

The security tonight is extremely tight. I looked at the well dressed man standing in the corner at the back, scanning the area for any possible threat . He was not the only one ,there were several of them trying to mend with the crowd, trying not to stand out of the crowd , they are as subtle as anyone can be but I have been in the industry for more than ten years . Years of experience makes it easy to find your enemies amongst the thousands.

I was wearing computer vision eye lens that look like plain contact lenses but are thinner ,the same size as my pupils, and were transparent scanners ,designed to gain details of a person within seconds after scanning the person . I cast my eye at him for scanning.
