Davin paced around the room anxiously, heaving sighs from time to time while Jeremy and Jensen, who had gone with him to K Nation, had looks of disappointment on their faces.
Jeremy advised, “Sir, let’s come up with some solutions together. Pacing around the room and tiring out yourself won’t help.”
Davin grumbled. “I am thinking of a solution. Can’t you see that I’m on edge? I want to return home as soon as possible so that I can have my wedding with Sheila. This goddamn Sun Corporation! Why did they breach the contract so suddenly? This can’t go on. I must get the project, or else it’ll affect the Seet Group.”
Jensen chimed in, “That’s right, Sir. They must’ve known how important this project is to the Seet Group. That’s why they’re using it to their advantage. We must not sit by and let them do as they please. We won’t be able to explain the situation to Mr. Seet.”
Davin agreed. “Right. We can’t let them succeed. We must force them into agreeing on the former plan. Now, both of you stop staring at me. Come up with some good and workable ideas.”
Jeremy suggested, “Sir, we’re both spies. How about Jensen and I sneak into their company and steal some useful information? You can use them to your advantage during the negotiation with Sun Corporation.”
Davin shot them both a surprised look. “Will that work? If we proceed with this plan, make sure you guys take something valuable like confidential documents and so on. These bargaining chips are the ones useful in a negotiation.”
Both Jeremy and Jensen exchanged glances. And here we thought Mr. Davin doesn’t have what it takes to steal. We were wrong. He sure is a cunning man who would do anything it takes to achieve his means.
“Don’t worry, Sir. We will be careful when we choose what to take,” Jeremy and Jensen said in unison.
Davin thought for a while and asked, “Should I go with you guys?”
Jensen looked at him in disbelief. “Sir? Will you be able to catch up with us?”
Jeremy cleared his throat and added, “We’ve been through special training. Stealing confidential documents is just a piece of cake for us, but…” You coming with us will only cause us more trouble.
Davin retorted, “Are you guys looking down on me? I’ve done this many times before in the past. And I’ve undergone spy training, so stealing documents isn’t that hard. Since you guys don’t believe me, I’ll show you.”
Jeremy and Jensen looked at him in disbelief. We’ve never heard of Mr. Davin going through spy training. And now he wants to show us his capabilities? It best be the truth. Or else we might end up empty-handed after the effort of sneaking in and avoiding getting caught.
Davin chided, “Enough. Don’t give me that kind of look. Let’s come up with a plan.”
After coming up with a clear and detailed plan, the trio decided to take action at night. They took a nap to refuel their energy as it was still early in the day when they finished scheming.
Jeremy said, “Sir, you’ll have to stay close to us later.”
Davin, who was confident in himself and his abilities, argued, “What are you implying? You guys are the ones who will follow me closely and listen to my orders. Why are you asking me to follow you?”
Don’t you have any idea of how ridiculous you sound?
When we were discussing the plan, you sounded like a total beginner.
So we don’t expect you to be much of use, but we hope you don’t cause us any trouble.
Jeremy and Jensen continued looking at him in disbelief. Their looks were so incredulous that Davin uttered, “Dammit! Stop looking at me like that. That’s enough. Now let’s go back and sleep.”
Jeremy told Jensen in secret as they turned around to leave, “It’ll be best if he can sleep until tomorrow morning. We’ll be done by the time he wakes up anyways.”
The latter replied, “Are you saying that he’ll cause trouble if he comes with us?”
Jeremy insisted, “Yes. Stealing confidential documents isn’t something one can do on impulse. I think he’ll only get us in trouble.”
Having heard all of their remarks, Davin stared at their backs. I’m skilled! I won’t be a hindrance! After all, Evan sent you guys here to assist me, so you guys will have to help me solve the problems I face…
You two bastards are worrying over nothing.
