Chapter 3 - Spying

After so many scrolls, finally he found her. It's unbelievable how he could recognize a person he had only spotted from afar but he did. He used her student information to search more about her and he found everything but not completely all. If Henry hadn't discovered her talents maybe even he himself wouldn't think much about her. Now after knowing all these things, what next? Nothing, there's nothing else, maybe he only wanted to know more about her. The next day he went to his company and from there he navigated to his personal company during the day. His life has been filled with hides and seek as he has to live up to his family's expectations but has still refused to let go of his own dreams. His family will strongly oppose whatever thing he chooses for himself. It's as if his life was already planned even before he was born and he was meant to live for them but who would have thought that they would choose the wrong candidate for the seat because Vince Holland will never really live like a puppet. The more they try to control him, the more he desires to be free but the conflict that follows will always leave him drained. He can't stand against them and that's the truth, so is he going to give up? No he won't. Hollands are strong headed and he is proudly a Holland in this aspect. So what he did was to adopt a different tactic, obey in the spotlight and live your own life in the dark side. But it wasn't easy because the Hollands are not easy to fool. So he had to build a strong foundation to protect himself. His personal company is Jetro which is on a fast rise. He has his own route into the company and the only person that would be notified of his arrival is his vice president who controls everything on his behalf. That day Josh, his vice, complained about sending out some of the workers to a new branch and how he's going to be doing another recruit for new capable workers and I immediately thought about the girl that has occupied my mind. I Wowed in my head, what a fantastic idea. But he still needs to make sure that she could fit into their working category so this time around he decided to consult Henry. At night he called Henry and when the call connected his tired voice came in through the receiver. Their careers are very demanding and often leave them working overnight.

Henry: Hello

Vince: Hello, are you busy?

Henry: yeah but it's ok, I need to stretch my bones a little

Vince: You got a new project?

Henry: hmm, with the royal mornach

Vince: ok, I want to ask you about Tamara Hayes

Henry wanted to say something but Vince cut him off and continued

Vince: Is she suitable to work in my company?

Henry: (laughing out loud) is this a new strategy to woo girls? Mr CEO please you need to separate your work life from your love life

Vince: you know you're talking trash and you haven't answered my question

Henry: ok ok, so you want to employ your crush into your company Jetro right?(Lol) Oh my God Vince, this is crazy

Vince: (silence)

Henry: alright, alright

Vince: recruiting her in my company should be a good opportunity for her

Henry: yeah, well she will definitely be very suitable for artificial intelligence

Vince: good, that's what I want to hear

Henry: Lol

They talked for some more time before hanging up. And Vince had to plan on how to approach Tamara, is he really going to meet her? But he didn't know her schedule so he had to send a spy first. He summoned his female guard and gave her the assignment and guess what? She came back with a pretty good result.

TAMARA POV

Today, I'm just coming out from one of our computer labs where I helped one of my new friends with a program he's finding difficult. He called me and I came but honestly this friendship thing is foreign to me so I always have my limit, so after guiding him I gave an excuse to leave. I am not yet far from the lab when I hear someone call out "hey please wait" I turn to know if I'm the one being called and sure enough, I was. A girl jogged up to me, as she came closer she seemed to be panting so I let her catch her breath. She might be a student but her appearance is a bit odd. She has a round face with a peculiar figure, we might be of the same height, I was still wondering when she started to talk.

May: Hi my name is Mary but you can call me May

Tamara: Ok

I know it sounds rude but I don't know what she wants and am just being weary like you know this domain is a jungle.

May: Actually my boss wants to see you, he's sitting in that coffee shop over there. She pointed towards a shop ahead of us and I looked, though I couldn't see anyone in particular there but It looks like whoever sent her was watching us. I don't know what kind of boss she's talking about and I don't know what these guys are up to so I refused immediately.

Tamara: No I'm not interested.

I tried to leave but she doesn't look phased by my refusal

May: You might want to meet him first before refusing, he won't take your time.

Tamara: No, I refused for the second time.

I'm already leaving but then I haven't gone far when I heard her say

May: Okay but I don't know if you still need this

I turned immediately only to see her shaking something in the air. It took me time to realize????? Isn't that my phone!!! No way. I immediately started to search my bag, but unfortunately after searching over and over again it wasn't there. I looked up to the girl, she was still standing with the phone raised for me to see she doesn't even look like a person who did something wrong with the expression on her face that seems to say "are you coming or not" I was speechless. Now I'm thinking about it, when she jogged up to me earlier she held unto my arm while trying to catch her breath at that time if she were my friend I would have even pat her back to help her catch her breath but she is a stranger, so I reluctantly let her hold me as that's the only thing I could do for her. Besides, she's also a girl so I didn't think much about it. She held onto me a little while before letting go. That must have been when she took my phone. Her skills are really impressive because I didn't even feel anything. How can I be so careless? I become embarrassed and angry so I stretched my hand out to her and demanded sharply

Tamara: Give it back
