Deceit and Desire: Betrayal

Mina is wondering why how could Camilla easily gets loan from Misuni Group to cover the trap she set for her.  That day she overheard Derek is comforting Camilla in office so she tried to probe it by asking Camilla. She knew she was right as Camilla was stunned. But Mina does not know what Camilla's secret is. Camilla is avoiding to Mina these days so Mina cannot tell from her words. 


In the meantime, the Tokyo stock market closed on a high note. The Misuni Group of Japan made a profit of 5 billion yen after the deal with Purly Group. This is a huge gain for a company which was making losses before.


This makes Mina so curious. She goes to Derek's office one night to ask him about the deal. Derek is busy reading the report. After several minutes, he looks up from the report and sees Mina leaning to the door. Mina wears a long skirt and a tight sweater. She looks sexy and exquisite. Her hair is pulled back tightly into a ponytail so her neck could be revealed. Her makeup is perfect too. Her cleavage is exposed.


"Hi Derek, do you need some coffee?" She asks.


"No thanks, Mina," he says while continuing to read.


"How did the deal go with the Japanese guy?"


"Some rumors in the market says the loan is a bit strange." Mina says.


"Well, the Tokyo Stock Exchange gave a warning regarding Purly Group, saying they are spending too much money and manipulating the market. Do you know anything about it?"


"Oh, that, yes, we have been warned by the stock exchange many times for our extravagant spending," Derek replies.


"That is quite a lot of money. Is there any special reason for this sudden spending?"


Derek is alert, he clearly remember the twins in his room in Grand Hyatt Hotel was sent to him by Mr. Hiratsuka. Although he didn't involve in Camilla's deal he is still very cautious. This is in contrast with his bulldog appearance. 


"Yes, it is." After a pause, Derek says. 


"Okay. Well, I am just curious. If you want my opinion, I think that Camilla is really pretty but too innocent. And she is also naive and inexperienced. You must be careful with her. She is a nice woman but not a genius at international business.  And all colleagues know you two are close…"


"Thank you for the advice. Just I wonder why you care about me suddenly."


Mina leans forward with her chest and looks at Derek in a profound look. 


"I'm just curious. It is nothing personal. It is purely professional matter."
