7 Fake Social Media Profiles

The next day Mike got up a bit early, showered, and head to the kitchen to make breakfast. Jeff was still sleeping in his room.

He might have come home really late. Mike thought.

Mike was feeling really tired due to the last hectic day so instead of making breakfast he just poured a glass of milk for him. He had the milk and got ready.

To avoid traffic he started early from home since cab rates are also a little bit less at this time. He has skipped breakfast so as soon as he reached the office he went to the IT room, dropped the bag, and rushed towards the cafeteria.

He went to the coupon counter and took coupons for an American breakfast platter. Since he is a bit early and considering yesterday's day he knew his day would be quite long. He swiped his meal card for the coupon.

This is the best thing since I joined. On the first day itself along with the welcome brochure, I was handed over a meal card, a credit card, and a joining bonus which will be credited to my account in the month-end salary. I love food moreover the fact that it's free as a meal card gets loaded every month with a certain amount. Mike thought

He took the platter and sat in the middle row enjoying his breakfast.

The platter consists of 2 toasts, sunny-side-up egg and baked potatoes, and a hot cup of coffee. It's perfect. He thought and started enjoying breakfast. Suddenly someone came and stood before him with a fruit bowl and juice in hand wearing a baby pink pencil skirt, white sleeveless shirt. Her left hand had a rose gold watch and the right hand is glowing with a delicate bracelet.

"Mind If I sit here?" A sweet voice asked.

Mike looked up. It's Catherine.

"No, not at all. Please sit." Mike replied politely.

Catherine took a seat in front of him. Both were sitting opposite to each other.

"So you are up early today in the office?" Mike asked

"Yeah... Umm, there is some urgent work." Catherine replied without looking at Mike

"Also I can see you are health conscious?" mike teased her a little.

Catherine smiled. "Yeah, a little bit. I love starting my day with something light."

"I guess you haven't heard the saying then?' He winked

"What saying?"

"Eat Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."

"Is it your defense mechanism?" She laughed and further added "Anyways I can say you hit the gym,"

Mike shyly replied, "Yeah sometimes."

"You should visit the office gym then. It's quite cool. Cardio and workout trainers are amazing. They give you the whole diet chart along with exercise."

"Now I got the secret of the fruit bowl in the morning."

Both laughed.

Catherine became a bit serious and told "By the way Mike I might need your help with something. Usually, I would have checked with David but he is not in yetguess."

"No problem. Tell me what's the issue."

"I might need to show you the problem so do you mind coming to my desk after breakfast?"

"Not at all," Mike said in a friendly way.

"Cool then."

After breakfast, they went to the 6th floor. The floor where the PR and media consultants' working area resides This was the first time Mike was entering their working area.

As they reached the floor and opened the glass door he found the interior quite vibrant and flashy, unlike his floor. The walls were decorated with quotes and eye-catching pictures and there is a poster of our monthly magazine cover page with each month's photos in different areas. He noticed the crowds. The guys were all tall, handsome dressed with style in Melissa words If he has to say and girls were dressed in an elegant and stylish way with colored hairs, fake contact lenses, heavy makeup. All smiling and talking. Mike felt a little out of place dressed in casual blue jeans and a black polo neck shirt and sports shoes.

They reached her desk. She opened her laptop. Mike scanned her desk area which was beautifully decorated with plants, handmade sketches, team photos, and cute quotes.

Catherine sat on her chair and logged into the laptop. As soon as she opened the laptop Mike saw various tabs of the internet browser in incognito mode opened with social media profiles logged in with different usernames.

Mike asked curiously "Hey why do you have same social media site opened in various tab with different usernames?"

Catherine hesitated a bit with my sudden question and then told. "Well these are for my media research I used it to interact with the common users to know their feedbacks."

Mike noticed when she says this she is looking straight at the laptop screen instead of looking at him. It looked like she is avoiding his gaze.

"Ok. So what was the problem you told me about the laptop?" Mike focused on her laptop and asked.

"Ya right... Actually, I need to hide these profiles login and I also need to access few sites so can you please set up the proxy from which I can check that. Also if you can show me how I can delete the history and cookies?"

Mike sensed something fishy.

Why will she need to hide the social media profile login? She is already using incognito mode and what sites she needs to access on proxy?

Is the supermarket gossip true?

Are they really creating fake social media account and then following and commenting on celebrities' activities and posts?

Is Catherine a part of this?

But she seems so loving and genuine.

No, It cannot be. But then what is all this?

His inner thoughts were interrupted by Catherine.

Since he didn't have much choice at the moment he set up the proxy and showed Catherine how to delete the cookies.

She thanked him.

" I think I owe you more than coffee." she winked at him.

"No .its my job. You don't owe me anything."

"Oh ok...She paused... Hey, what are you doing this Saturday?"

"Nothing much. Why?"

"Well it's my birthday and I am throwing a small party at my apartment. I would be glad if you come."

"Thanks but I am new and don't know many people." Mike shyly said

"Trust me Mike Parties are the best way to meet and know new people. Also, you know me, and trust me the party will be awesome."

"Thanks, I will think about it."

"Great..."

Catherine took out a sticky note from her drawer and scribbled her address on it.

"Here"

"Cool. Ok, I should get going now. Have a great day."

"You too," she said returning a smile.
