Los Angeles

R&L Company, IT level

A few weeks have passed and I still got nothing important and I still hadn't found the right time to stay in the office for after-hours so that I could examine the virus and I couldn't just go to the system room because from what the boss told me was that it reported to this person when somebody tried to access anything.

I was hoping I could stay today but everything pointed to another failed day until Clare called me from her desk in front of the lift.

Not wanting to draw any attention to me, I got up right away and went towards her.

"You called?"

"Uh... yes... Mr.Russo wants to see you in his office, right now."

"Did he say why?"- I say faking my nervousness.

I had a few options to why he wanted to see me, but Clare couldn't know.

"No, he just said for you to hurry up. Good Luck."- Clare wishes.

"Thanks"

During these weeks, I realized that a lot of people, especially girls, were scared of him for some reason.

When the lift doors opened, there was another woman in it and I realized that she was going to the same level as me and by the clothes she was wearing, I knew I didn't want to be there when she got into that office.

She was in the tightest dress shirt I've ever seen and the shortest skirt. A slut without a doubt or simply a fuck buddy. Either way, I was staying far away from her.

During our way up, I could sense her staring at me by the corner of her eyes, so when I noticed that we were halfway done, I turned to her and looked at her straight on and that made her look away from me.

Los Angeles

R&L Company, Boss Office

As soon as she walked out and the secretary didn't let her in, she started a scene, like we all knew it would happen.

"JAKE! TELL THIS WOMAN TO LET ME IN!"- She screams once again.

At this point, I was trying my hardest not to roll my eyes or to snap at her.

Where the fuck are her manners? Left them at the door? Probably.

After a good 5 minutes, the doors to his office opened and he looked pissed.

"I told you to stop contacting me, Rafaela." - He said weirdly calm.

"You can't disrespect your fathers orders, Jake!"- The girl says aggressively.

"Too bad. I'm the one in charge now... Not my father... Things changed."

After that, her face dropped. She went from angry to depressed in a matter of seconds.

Women are getting more desperate. Can't they control their p*ssy or something?

"Miss Brooks. Come on in"- He ignores her.

I nod and pass her to his office doors.

"Bitch! He's is mine!"- She screams while I pass her.

"I don't want him, thanks"- I reciprocate and walk-in.

He closes the door behind him and goes to his desk, while I'm already sitting down in one of the chairs in front of it.

"I'm sorry about her."- He apologizes.

"It's not your fault they are all desperate"

With saying that he looks at me and chuckles.

"True to that"- He agrees and moves onto our original motive." Have you found anything yet?"

"Not really... I'm still trying to gain everyone's trust, and it looks to be more difficult than I thought"- I answer honestly. "Who would've thought that geniuses were so sceptical."- I mumble.

"And you aren't?" - He asks with a smirk.

"My job is to be sceptical"- I say back "But I'm a genius."- I continue.

"Obviously... Your CV wouldn't be that good if you weren't"

"I wanted to relay to you something." - I start with a slightly concerned tone.

"What do you need?" - He wonders.

"I need a job that makes me stay overtime so that I can go to the system room without people suspecting anything."- I try to explain.

"You want to stay here more time?"

"I might just need one day to get what I want... but I don't know exactly."

"Okay, so tomorrow I'm going to call you up here at the end of the day and you can stay here with me, then I will take you there."

He made a plan, but a plan full of holes.

"It can't be tomorrow, to suspicious, I can't just stay here because of your other meetings, so you need to choose a date where you have no meetings for a bit, and security might find weird that you are taking me to the lot, so you need to let me park there and then I will deal with the rest."

As I finish my changes, he looks at me with confusion written in his eyes.

"Why are you confused?"

"Why would we have to wait a few days?"

"Because it would be weird if we had two meetings back to back... People would know that something is up and that can't happen if you want to catch this guy. Also, you need to tell me if anybody from that team tries to quit because it might be the guy"

"Alright... Seems Good."- He agrees. "Okay, so... How do I see my schedule...?"- He continues mumbling to himself making me chuckle.

I stand up and go around his desk and towards his computer to help him find his things.

"Do you know what is the apps name?"- I ask the boss

"Uhm... App? No?"- He answers with questions making me roll my eyes.

I never thought a boss would be this dumb with computers.

"Do you still use paper, Jesus!"- I complain a bit too loud.

"Obviously, I don't need a robot to do things for me"- He responds almost immediately.

I roll my eyes again and focus on finding the app to get a date, agreeing to go through with the plan in 2 weeks from now.
