Chapter 1489 A Microchip Bug
“How do we know whether you’re telling us the truth?” Juan demanded.
Whipping out her phone, Sally swiped a few times and found the picture of half a treasure map. “This is it! You can have a look at it first.”
Juan and Kyle scrutinized the screen of the phone thrust in front of them. The picture was of an antique silk cloth drawing with winding lines and countless markings. However, the words were exceedingly strange, for they couldn’t make any sense of them.
“What’s written on here?”
“That’s the introduction about the place where the treasure is hidden. If you find that place, you can open the door to the treasure and obtain an unrivaled treasure!” Sally answered.
At that, Kyle’s brows furrowed.
Although the words on it are incomprehensible, the silk cloth seems to be of some years ago, judging from its sophistication. Nevertheless, it’s uncertain yet whether it’s really a treasure map.
“In that case, tell us what these words mean!” Juan ordered.
Hearing his request, Sally froze for a second.
It’s not that I don’t want to tell them the meaning of the words, but I don’t understand them either.
“This is a treasure map, so how could the meaning of the words be so easily deciphered? Besides, if I knew their meaning, the treasure would’ve been mine long ago! You need to spend time studying it! All you need to know right now is that half a piece of this treasure map is real. Moreover, I believe that the two of you will crack the secret in no time, considering your ingenuity.”
“Why is there only half a piece? Where is the other half?”
“I can only give you the other half after having stayed at Seet Group for three months.”
“Three months? No way! That’s far too long!”
“How long are you willing to give me, then?”
“Ten days.”
Ten days? Winning Kyle’s heart and assuming control of Seet Group’s capital chain in ten days is probably quite impossible, no?
When Juan saw her hesitating, he asserted, “You may stay if you agree. If otherwise, you can leave or continue being a door attendant. Furthermore, who knows whether that’s really a treasure map? If it turns out to be an ordinary recipe or some song, we’ll suffer a great loss.”
Sally went silent in contemplation.
I simply need to stay and attain my goal! Ten days? Okay, I’m willing to give it a try!
“Fine. Ten days, then. I’ll give you both the other half of the treasure map ten days later. But I don’t want to be a door attendant anymore. I want to choose my position myself!”
“Okay. What position would you like?”
“I want to be Kyle’s assistant!”
Juan looked her up and down. Hmm… Is she going to put on a show of being all docile in front of Kyle to gain his sympathy?
“I suppose it’s a fair deal to exchange the treasure map for the position of assistant for ten days.”
“So, it’s a deal, then?” Sally happily sent the picture of half the treasure map to Kyle’s phone. “From now on, I’m your assistant!”
“Okay. Go and make two cups of coffee.”
Naturally, Sally was stumped by Kyle’s order.
He’s ordering me around right away?
She blinked. Fine. This is also considered part of an assistant’s job, so I’ll do it.
Watching as she left, Juan reminded Kyle, “Her motive isn’t simple, so I’m afraid that you’ll be living in peril for the ten days to come. Also, the listening device you placed in her room will probably be of no use anymore since she’s coming to work here.”
“Since the listening device will be of no use, I’ll prepare an extraordinary assistant’s uniform that contains a microchip bug for her. That will be even more effective than a listening device.”
Juan was instantly floored to hear that.
Whoa! That’s ingenious! I was worried that he’d be taken in by that crafty woman, but it seems that my concern was for naught. All I need to do is to wait for the show to begin! I hope he can unravel all her mysteries within ten days.
“I’ll leave you to your work, then. I’ve got to get busy as well.”
When Juan left, he happened to spot Sally walking in with the coffee.
“Here’s the coffee you requested.”
“Now that you’re my assistant, you need to wear appropriate clothes as per the company’s policy. Go and get your uniform from John and change right away.”
