Chapter 8 Almost Caught
- I lost Mr. Satoshi to him, I am not going to lose any more clients to him, he thought.
- Scott stood up and got out of the Jacuzzi naked. He tied the towel around his waist, carried the bottle of scotch and the glass, and walked into his bedroom, as he got into his bedroom, he dropped the bottle of scotch and glass on his center table and sat down on his bed.
- What did I ever do to Rockwell for him to come after my clients, Scott thought.
- Meanwhile, at Jennifer’s house,
- "Where is the popcorn!" Jennifer yelled.
- Minutes later, Lindsey walked into the living room with popcorn in a bowl, in her hands.
- "Why can’t you just have patience?" Lindsey said as she sat down close to Jennifer on the couch.
- "Come on, I can’t watch Lucifer without popcorn. It kills the vibe," Jennifer replied, as she took the popcorn from Lindsey.
- Jennifer picked up the remote and turned on the television.
- "Mr. Rockwell just brought in two new clients from Garcia Artistic Empire," Lindsey said.
- "Yeah, I know," Jennifer replied.
- Lindsey collected the television remote and muted the television.
- "I don’t think you understand what I just said, I said Rockwell took two more client from Garcia Artistic Empire," Lindsey said as she turned to look at Jennifer.
- "And what does that mean?" Jennifer asked.
- "It means you need to be careful so that Mr. Scott won’t know that you are the one feeding Mr. Rockwell information," Lindsey answered.
- "I know that I am very careful. They won’t know I am the one feeding him with information, and besides, no one is going to suspect an intern," Jennifer said.
- "Alright then, if you say so, just be careful," Lindsey replied.
- "I will, and thanks for looking out," she said with a warm smile.
- "You are welcome, I always have your back," Lindsey replied, smiling back.
- Jennifer carried the television remote and continued the movie, and they both continued watching the movie.
- ******************
- Two days later, at Garcia Artistic Empire,
- Scott was sitting down behind his desk, he carried his office landline and called Mrs. Campbell. She answered the call,
- "Have you done what I asked you to do?" he asked.
- "Yes sir, your meeting with him, is in the next hour," she answered.
- "Okay," he said as he ended the call and dropped the phone.
- Scott set up a meeting to go meet Rockwell.
- A few hours later, Scott was sitting in front of Rockwell, in his office,
- "What do you want from me?" Rockwell asked raising an eyebrow. He knew why Scott came to see him, he wanted to just play dumb.
- "I want you to stop approaching my clients," Scott answered.
- "And who said I was approaching them? They are the ones coming to me," Rockwell said, staring at him.
- Mike was standing behind Scott, while Rockwell placed his leg on top of his desk.
- "Like hell they would, I have had those clients for years now, and all of a sudden they are leaving me for you, I don’t think so," he said with a straight face.
- "Are you accusing me of something?" Rockwell said, as he dropped his legs from his desk and sat down properly.
- "I know, you want something from me. Why are you really doing this to my company?" Scott asked.
- "You are right, I do want something from you. Sell your company to me," Rockwell answered boldly.
- "What the fuck? That is not reasonable! You are being a dick!" Scott screamed as he stood up from the chair.
- "If you don’t stop approaching my clients, Rockwell, I am going to sue you," Scott said, pointing a finger at Rockwell, as he walked out of his office, with Mike sprinting after him.
- A few hours later, Scott was back at his office, he was sitting down in his office chair, staring at the ceiling, a lot of thoughts were running through his mind.
- Minutes later, Mrs. Campbell walked into his office, and asked him, how the meeting with Mr. Rockwell went, Scott told her everything, and told Mrs. Campbell to renew their contracts with the remaining clients, so that they could keep the remaining of his clients.
- After that, Mrs. Campbell walked out of his office.
- Meanwhile, in the staff’s office,
- "So, tell me which state are you from?" Jennifer asked Matthew.
- He was sitting close to Jennifer’s cubicle, and they were both discussing, she was trying to be friends with him.
- "I am from Oklahoma," Matthew answered with a smile on his face.
- The way Matthew was smiling at her, Jennifer couldn’t help but think he was into her.
- "That’s a beautiful state, I heard they have all types of fresh vegetables over there," Jennifer said.
- "Yeah, we do," he replied.
- "And if you don’t mind me asking, do you have a girlfriend?" Jennifer asked, staring at him.
- "No, I don’t," he responded.
- Jennifer was trying to know if he had a girlfriend, just so she could know, how she was going to play with him. She wasn't trying to get into a relationship in the office. She didn't want to get caught up emotionally at Scott's company. She set a goal for herself, before taking the job as a spy to come work at Scott's company. She promised herself, she was not going to date anyone at the office, and she wasn't going to fall for anyone there.
- As she and Matthew were talking, Mrs. Campbell walked over to Jennifer's desk, Matthew immediately moved to his desk.
- "I want you to type this document properly, once you are done, go and give it to the boss," Mr. Campbell said as she handed over a blue file to her.
- Why does she always give me little jobs like this to do, I didn't sign up to do all this type of work, Jennifer thought.
- "Okay ma, I am on it," Jennifer replied, as she let out a fake smile.
- Mrs. Campbell walked away.
- Jennifer opened the blue file and went through it. She immediately noticed that Scott was trying to pitch his client's new contract. She left the file on her desk and called for Matthew to come over, and they both continued talking.
