Chapter 10

Julia, a 20s Caucasian, walks in a street of night. Her face is beautiful, sumptuous but emotionless. She has small head and long neck, small waist and big breast. She is the one received envelop from Mr. Xavier and sent over to Derek that day but she does not know much about his plan. She is not employee of Purly Group but she is closer to Mr. Xavier as a source of information.

Julia does not have much education. She used to work as model and she has some experience in seduction. She is intelligent and manipulative. She knows how to make her way around men. That's why Mr. Xavier used her as a sparrow.

At the end of the street, a beggar look man whisper to Julia and speaks to her: "Hi Miss, you are late."

"Any update?" Julia is emotionless.

"Sure sure my queen, you need only my info." the man smiles ugly, "Camilla did not sleep with Derek yet. Her husband used to sleep with another woman when they just got married."

"Ok." Julia hands over some $100 notes and turns back leaving.

"Thank you My Queen," the man murmurs with eyes on Julia's cleavage, "You are generous as always so here is some free tip for you: watch your back."

Julia startles and raise her eyebrow but quickly recovers and start moving again.

The man watches her round butt greedily.

Camilla is back at home. Her husband is still away on business trip. She puts her son to bed and sits down quietly. Her husband calls her but she sounds indifferent. She hardly has feeling for him now as she cannot get through the scene her husband slept with another pale, curvy woman in this house, on their bed! It was five years ago but the memory is fresh.

She recalls her nightmare that day. She was tied hard by a woman with mask. The woman looked like Mina from figure ripped of all her clothes with a knife. But when she took off her mask, it was Camilla's face with an expression in the photo. It was a strange dream but scary.

"Debt financing of Project Cilla is secured through Misuni Group of Japan." Camilla dresses in dark green suite and white shirt with stocking and continues her brief of project, "Misuni Group is a large Japanese enterprise with stable financial capacity. Its business is based on real estate and investment."

"How about the loan interest rate?" Derek asks.

"Interest rate is 5% per annum," Camilla says, "and the repayment term is five years."

"Understood," Derek nods with Camilla. He seems pleased with the deal.

Camilla looks at Matthew the Mr. Baldy. He is watching her with cold stare.

"Thank you Camilla, we will conclude the contract shortly," Mr. Xavier says.

"Wait." Matthew raise his hand, "I have two questions: First how much additional interest payment will be incurred in this loan? Second, is this contract will come into effect immediately?"

"I think I have covered these questions in my report." Camilla sweats.

"Matthew's questions are very important. We do not want to waste time, so please answer them quickly so we can end our meeting." Xavier replies.

"Yes sir, I apologize for my delay," Camilla says , "Interest cost is increased by 5% and the contract is now in effect."

The two men exchange glances.

"Ok." Mr. Xavier and Matthew face each other, "Let me ask these question myself."

"Camilla I trust your professionalism and the terms looks fine." Says Mr. Xavier, "But you know it is $200 million loan and you are dealing with Misuni Group right?"

"Yes, I am aware of that."

"You know Misuni Group has not been highly regarded or respected in Japan. They are a rumor to link with Mafia in Japan and too risky. Our board members were skeptical. Why you deal with them not traditional banks."

Camilla is stunned. She was too eager to get the project and cover the gap of finance is created by herself though it was undermined by Mina. So she immediately took Derek's advice to deal with Misuni Group without second thought. She looks at Derek, who is sitting beside her and nod to Mr. Xavier silently. She does not understand why he did that.

"Mr. Xaviers I don't understand. Is there problem with Misuni Group?"

"No, it is just that we do not want to take risk. Can you guarantee that?"

"Of course!" Camilla replies, "Misuni Group has been in business for more than twenty years. It is a leading company in its field. And I personally know the president."

"Mr. Hiratsuka, the Fuji Wolf right?" Mr. Xavier smiles with amusement, "I see. You know him very well. Well then, Thank you Camilla. I won't object your judgement then. "

"Thank you Mr. Xavier," Camilla is smiling with delight.

"But do you know why he is called the Fuji Wolf?" It is the last words echoing at Camilla's ears when Mr. Xavier leaves the board room.

She is puzzled by the question.
