Spying

Elmer Enterprises,

"Welcome," says a woman, who works as a receptionist at Elmer Enterprise.

"Hey pretty, can I meet with ...." The man in a navy blue shirt with white slim-fit pants and dark brown glasses opened a red envelope. "Mr. Nicky?" he asked again.

"May we know your name, Sir?" asked one of the receptionists.

"What? You don't know my name!" the man took off his glasses and looked angry. "Do you know Bernard Finance, huh? A financial services company that often helps large companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy and are short on cash?"

The two receptionists looked at each other with a shake of their heads. "Hey!" the man snapped.

"P-pardon, Sir. We don't know." One of the receptionists lowered her head.

"Hah, I never thought a company like Elmer Enterprise could have such incompetent employees like you!" he pouted.

"What happened?" the heavy and deep voice sounds clearly behind that cocky man.

"M-Mr Nicky. Good morning." Said the receptionist lowering their head.

Nicky, Aaron's accomplice, arrives with Stephanie.

"Oh, so you're the guy named Nicky," the man pointed condescendingly.

"And you must be Mr. Berry Bernard, son of Jason Bernard of Bernard Finance." Nicky's smile was thin.

"Haha, finally, there are also people who recognize me. So, why was I summoned to this place? Am I going to be given the lead role in this season's newest film?" Berry cracked a sly smile.

"It can be arranged, Mr. Berry. But, can we talk in another place, confidential, and private?" asked Nicky with a wide smile.

"Of course! Big business has to be in the right place right?" Berry laughed confidently.

"Please." Nicky spread his arms to make way for Berry into the elevator that went straight to the CEO's floor.

In the elevator, Berry who was standing next to Nicky looked suspiciously at Stephanie who was standing behind Nicky. Wearing a black skirt above the knee, and a blazer combined with a tank top that matches the skirt, Berry couldn't take his eyes off her. Nicky and Stephanie weren't ignorant of Berry's case, they just didn't want to mess up the mission that Aaron had ordered.

"Damn it! This man makes me hot!" Stephanie muttered under her breath.

Stephanie just smiled at Berry who always stole glances while in the elevator, and before long, the three of them arrived on the floor of the CEO's room. "Please, Mr. Berry," Nicky said, opening his arms wide, and entertaining the guest.

"Nice, cozy, and comfortable room." Berry praised and looked around the CEO's room which was dominated by beige brown and white.

"Thank you, Mr. Berry. It turns out that you are also sensitive to things that have a high price." Nicky's smile.

"Of course! I love luxury and splendor and beauty." Bernard glanced at Stephanie who was sitting directly opposite him.

"Ahem, how about we start with our intention and purpose of inviting you to Elmer Enterprise, Mr. Berry," Stephanie said, starting to feel uncomfortable with Berry's attitude.

"Please, I'll listen," said Berry casually.

"Mr. Nicky, will you or I explain?" Stephanie turned to Nicky.

"If Mr. Bernard doesn't mind, then I'll explain." Nicky's smile turned to Bernard.

"Usually I would never listen to a man, even if he's a CEO. But I'll make an exception! Please, Mr. Nicky, explain why I was summoned here." Berry opened his arms as he sat with one leg folded.

"Stephanie, please have someone bring Mr. Berry a sugar-free latte."

"Wow, you know my favorite drink? This Elmer Enterprise CEO is amazing." Berry gave a loud applause.

"Of course, for us, aspiring artists who will work under our agency must be treated well like kings." Nicky's smile.

Berry nodded his head. "What are you waiting for, Stephanie?" Nicky glanced at his secretary.

"Okay, Sir."

As soon as Stephanie left Nicky's room, the man stood up and called production to come into his room.

"It is not my area to go into more detail, Mr. Bernard. Therefore, I request the production department to provide you with details about this film."

"No problem! Because I'm a professional! Just don't waste my time, Mr. Nicky because I'm a busy person!" Bernard firmly raised his hand and showed Nicky his luxury watch.

"I understand, Mr. Bernard."

Knock... knock...

"Looks like he's here." Nicky's smile ordered her in.

"Good morning, Mr. Nicky. Is there anything I can help you with?" said the man wearing a mask bowing his head.

"This is Richard, one of the production crew of the film "The Last Autumn" which will soon be produced," explained Nicky.

"Why is he wearing a mask? It's rude!" Bernard's pout curved into a smile.

"Sorry, Mr. Bernard. I have the flu, afraid of infecting others," said the man named Richard, adjusting his mask.

"Mr. Nicky, isn't it wrong that you sent this sick person here? Don't come near me! I'll catch your disease later!" Bernard pouted arrogantly.

"I understand, Sir."

"Mr. Richard will lead the way for you, Mr. Bernard."

"You will come with us, won't you, Mr. Nicky?"

"Sorry, I still have a lot of work to do, Mr. Bernard."

"Okay, but where's the woman you were with earlier? Why hasn't she shown up yet?"

"You mean Stephanie? I'll have her deliver your drink, Mr. Bernard."

"Haha, it turns out that there are still people of understanding in this place." Bernard and Richard finally left Nicky's room and before long, he immediately took his cell phone and called someone.

"The weasel has fallen into a trap, Sir. I'll show you right away."

Nicky moved to his chair, opened his laptop, and showed the Elmer Enterprise CCTV connected to his laptop.

Meanwhile, Aaron, who was still at one of the exclusive bars in the City of Dallas, saw clearly from his cell phone that it was sent by Nicky. With a satisfied smile, the Elmer Enterprise heir nodded his head and cracked a satisfied smile.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Aaron. Sorry, I'm late." A man in formal attire met Aaron.

"Welcome, Mr. Reinhard. Please have a seat."

"Thank you. What wind did you suddenly come to see me?" asked the man named Reinhard.

However, it looks like Aaron is engrossed in his phone and not paying attention to Reinhard. That fatty man, Andrew, just look around Aaron and stop talking.

"Why do you stop talking, Mr. Reinhard? I'm listening." Said Aaron glancing at him.

"P-pardon, Mr. Aaron?" Reinhard seems surprised.

"Did you think, I"m not paying attention to each word from your mouth, Mr. Reinhard? Or did you neglect my ability to listen to people's words while I'm doing anything else?" Aaron doesn't seem happy with Reinhard's attitude.

"Forgive me, Mr. Aaron, please spare my life." Reinhard shook his body.

"You want me to forgive you?" asked Aaron with his sharp gaze.

"Yes, Mr. Aaron. Spare my life, please …" Reinhard's eyes were like puppies who abandoned their master.

Aaron still looking at his phone, while Bernard and Richard, the production staff walk through the dark-brown door. Aaron smiled widely and feel satisfied. "Let's see how far you can walk under your father's?" murmured Aaron with a spooky grin.
