LET'S MEET JASON TONIGHT.

The same day at LY Corporations in Finance Department in the morning,

After listening to an earful scolding for 1 hour of Mr. Dylan, the Manager of Finance department Louis came out of the office of manager and went back to his seat where his desk was. One of Louis's colleague who's desk was just beside him asked, " Aiden are you okay? You had been in for an hour. Did that dog bite you?".

Louis with a smile on his face replied, " I'm fine Stacy. Mr. Dylan didn't scold me that much. Thanks for asking".

Stacy was Louis's deskmate and his colleague from Finance department. Louis now has been working for two months in LY Corporations as an employee of Finance department. His new identity is named as Aiden Kelly. Mr. Dylan was called as a 'wild dog' by his employees and co-workers as he would always scold or blame the newbie employees for no reason and Louis was one of his target since he was a newbie who had joined the Corporations just two months ago. Even if the fault was not his still Louis would get an scolding from Mr. Dylan.

A man in his 30's came forward to Louis and gave him a file. He patted Louis's shoulder and said, " It's fine man. It was the same for all of us when we were new. That dog just uses his power for troubling us". It was Nick.

Nick was another colleague of Louis from Finance department. Louis was very friendly to all his co-workers and would help everyone whenever needed. Hence everyone couldn't help but favor this young man who was a target of the wild dog Mr. Dylan.

Louis fixed his glasses properly and said, " I'm really fine Nick. There's no need to worry about me. Now let's focus on our work otherwise I have to hear another nagging from Mr. Dylan". Saying this Louis started working. Louis was wearing glasses on his eyes and had his bangs of hair down. He wore office attire like other employees and was perfectly looking as simple as an employee could be.

The receptionist of the Finance department received a call.

"Hello?"

"Yes Mr. president. I'll do it right away".

Saying the receptionist hung up the call and went towards Louis's desk. She said, " Aiden Mr. President is asking for you in his office. He wishes you to be present there right now".

Stacy who heard what the receptionist said asked being surprised, " What? Mr. President is asking for Aiden? Aiden what did you do now?".

Louis who was calm replied, " Stacy please calm down. I don't know too why Mr. President called me. If I want to know then I need to go to his office. Right?".

Stacy took a deep breath and said, " All the best Aiden. I wish you don't get another scolding. Now go fast otherwise Mr. President will get angry".

Louis nodded. Nick who saw all of this gave a thumbs up to Louis and said," Fighting Aiden!".

Louis went to the President's office which was on the supervisor floor. He knocked on the door , "Knock.... knock".

A stern and cold voice came from inside , " Come in".

Louis asked, " Is there something I can help you with Mr. President?".

Alex who was reading some files stopped and took another file which was kept aside on his desk. He opened a certain page and showed it to Louis. He said, " Mr. Aiden Kelly how do you wish to explain this?".

Louis who was calm replied, " I'm sorry Mr. President. I'll fix it right away".

Alex with an expressionless face said, " Did I call you here to hear your sorry? Tell me, for how much time Mr. Kelly have been working in LY Corporations?".

Louis replied, " For two months Mr. President".

Alex threw the file on the desk as he said, " Even after working for two months in Finance department can't you even prepare a project presentation perfectly? Do you wish me to fire you when you have been here for just two months?".

Louis was silent. Why not? Who would talk back to his cold superior.

Alex said again, " You're gonna prepare this whole presentation again without anyone's help. I want the proposal by this evening before I leave work. You may go back now".

Louis said, " Yes Mr. President. I'll start working right away". And was about to leave that's when he heard a voice ,

" Wait. What is the guarantee that you'll do it alone without anyone's help? Do one thing. Take all your materials and come to my office. You'll be working in my office under my supervision".

Alex called his secretary in and ordered, " Vincent Mr. Aiden Kelly will be working in my office for today. This is his punishment for not reviewing the project presentation after writing it. Arrange a place for Mr. Kelly to work right now".

Vincent who is Alex's secretary replied, " Yes Mr. President".

Louis and Vincent both came out of the President's office. Louis sighed and Vincent said, " Aiden Mr. President is not that cold what others think of him as. In fact he is kind but is really strict about his work ethics hence please understand him".

Louis with a smile said, " It's fine Vincent. Anyway it was my mistake hence I need to fix it".

Vincent patted Louis's shoulder and said, " I'll prepare the place for you to work immediately. I'll be going to buy coffee for Mr. president soon. Would you like one too? I guess coffee can help you focus on your work".

Louis replied, " Thanks Vincent. Then I'll have to trouble you. Please buy an black strong coffee for me".

Louis went back to the Finance department to pick up his things. When Louis came to his desk Stacy asked, " What happened? What did Mr. President called you for?". Louis explained everything to Stacy.

Stacy said, " It must be hard on you. First an hour of nagging from that wild dog in early morning and now working with President in same room. I understand how you must be feeling right now".

Nick said, " Aiden be careful with Mr. President. He is really strict about work hence make sure to not make any mistake when you're in his office".

Louis took Nick's advice and nodded his head. He picked up the things he needed and went to the President's office again. Vincent showed him the desk he has arranged for Louis in the Alex's office. Vincent left after taking permission of Alex to buy him a coffee.

As soon as Vincent left Alex clicked a button from the remote which he had kept in one of the drawers of his desk. The glass walls were changed from transparent to blurred windows. From outside no one was able to see anything but from inside everything could be seen through of the glass. Louis noticed the change in the glass walls and removed his glasses.

Alex and Louis sat on the couch together as Louis loosened his tie and ruffled his hair making his bangs moving back. Alex asked, " What about the investigation?".

Louis replied, " It's the same as we guessed. For other departments I don't see a problem but the main root is in Finance department itself".

Alex said, " Hmm. I had an hunch of suspicion too but there was no evidence".

Louis further explained, " Dylan who is the Manager of Finance department pressures his employees and abuses his power of an superior. He blames his own faults at his co-workers. And specially he orders newbies to do personal work for him except office work. As my analysis there have been many transactions from the department to an unknown account which belongs to one of our rival companies. Every month he would carry out the transaction by himself without anyone's help".

Alex replied, " Hm. So what are your opinions?".

Louis replied, " We still have one month left so let him do what he wants. We'll counter attack him when he's off guard and catch him red handed".

Alex replied, " Then let's do it when you become CEO officially. It will be the most perfect timing as everyone would be off guard that time".

Louis said, " Hmm. That's what I thought cause me being an witness is an evidence too.".

Alex said, " Fine then. What about the presentation? Do you have a back up plan? Or did you really make a mistake unknowingly?".

Louis replied, " I made the mistake purposely. Don't worry I already have the correct file saved in my drive with me".

Louis asked, " Alex....how is our family?".

Alex replied, " Everyone's doing good but are eagerly waiting for you to come back. Well there's also something you'd like to know".

Louis asked, " What?".

Alex replied, " Since you left no one's been talking about the marriage thing. Mother and Aunt now don't force me to go on blind dates and have stopped looking for proposals".

Louis replied, " Well it's good then. Atleast for now I don't want to get into that marriage thing. Also tell everyone that I miss them".

Alex said, " I'll definitely pass down the word. Do you have any plans tonight?".

Louis replied, " Not really. I've already finished all my work last weekend".

Alex replied, " It's good then. Let's go to meet Jason tonight. He's been sulking for days as you didn't meet him since you came back".

Louis chuckled and said, " I guess he has never changed. To others he is a cold and ruthless man but in front of us he becomes a kid who gets upset when ignored. Fine then after dinner pick me up from my apartment as I don't have a car hence you should help me".
