10 SHE'S NOT AN ANGEL

After one week of rest, Sofia was now back to her normal condition. Yusef already enrolled her to school but she couldn't stay in the dorm given her identity. She will be sent to school and picked up by someone after school. This was what the three men agreed and she couldn't argue with them when it comes to her safety.

Since there was still one more month before classes started, Sofia did keep her promise and look after the business. Every day, she'll visit one company to have a meeting with all the board of directors and settle scores with them. Those who were not performing well will be demoted and those who were performing well will be promoted.

"You can't demote me just because I made one mistake!" One of the marketing managers who got demoted was angrily shouting. He was so angry that his face was turning red and he shouted at his supervisor.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tan. I didn't make this decision. It was the higher ups who decided on this. You should be thankful that you didn't get fired. You know, this company doesn't tolerate any mistakes but they won't fire you either. As long as you do your best, I'll talk to them for your promotion next time."

"Tsk! I should've accepted the offer from ILY company. They have better offer from here. I'm quitting." Mr. Tan, threw his ID badge and left the office of the supervisor. He picked up his things and left the building without looking back. He knew that this would happen sooner or later because he intentionally made mistakes.

A month ago, he was offered twice by ILY with his current salary in AZ mall as a marketing manager. All he needed to do was to hand over their strategies for the next two months and quit the company to transfer to their rival business. Of course, blinded with money, he followed his greed.

He intentionally made one huge mistake to make sure that he will be demoted and he can have reasons to quit. Unbeknownst to him, all his actions were under observation.

"Follow that man now." Yusef called one of their men and followed Mr. Tan. "Don't lose sight of him and make sure to gather evidences."

"Yes, sir." Two men get inside a black car and followed Mr. Tan closely.

They found him get inside a restaurant and they did the same. He met with a man and handed him a USB flash drive before signing some documents. The smile on his face couldn't be wiped off as he was so happy to have achieved his goal. The two men walked inside like nothing and pretended to find a chair to sit.

"I don't like their menu here. Let's just go somewhere." The other man stated and they left. In truth, the just wanted to take a close look on the face of the man that Mr. Tan met, making sure that his image was captured with the camera half-hidden beneath their shirt.

Once they got back to the car, they waited for further instruction from Yusef who was already looking into the identity of the man inside the restaurant.

"Grab that man first and bring him to the secret base. Make sure that he's bringing everything with him. As for Mr. Tan, he's become a victim of hit and run."

"Yes, sir." The two men answered in unison through the earpiece that they're wearing. After an hour of waiting, Mr. Tan came out first and the other man came out later. Their priority was the other man, so they didn't follow Mr. Tan. In any case, it will be easy for them to do the second task."

As soon as their target went to the parking lot to get his car, one muscled man stepped out of the van and covered the man's mouth and nose with a handkerchief. When he passed out, he carried him to the van and got inside. The moment the door was closed, the van sped up and left, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded. Everything happened so quick and when they realized what has happened, the car was already out of sight.

"That's kidnapping!"

"Oh! God! Call the police. Someone, call the police."

"Did anyone of you saw the plate number of the car?"

They shook their heads and they all felt useless. A crime just happened right in front of them but they were not able to move a muscle or even thought of looking at the plate number of the van.

When the police came, they couldn't find any clues either. The van was parked on a blind spot of the camera and the other establishments didn't have any CCTV to help them with the investigation.

On the other hand, the van arrived in a mountain area where a lonesome house was built. It was their secret base. It was a property owned by the Basilischikov family which was why, no one trespasses the place.

"Who are you?! What are you trying to do with me?! Let me go!" the man shouted but his words fell onto deaf ears. He was ignored by everyone.

He was blindfolded and his head was covered with a cloth. He couldn't see anything, not even a small speck of light. Yusef took the briefcase that was handed to him by one of their men and read the contents. Sure enough, it was a contract that states Mr. Tan was officially the Marketing Manager of ILY company and so on. There was a flash drive inside the brief case as well. Yusef handed it to the IT specialist with him and they looked inside the content. They were all marketing strategies that AZ company discussed for the next two months of sales marketing.

After seeing the content, the IT specialist deleted the contents, formatted the flash drive and burned it.

"Tranquilize that man and cremate him. Throw his ashes on to the river at the back." Yusef stated coldly while dialing a string of numbers with his phone.

"No! Help! Help me! I didn't do anything wrong! Let me go!" The man kept shouting but soon, he's voice has faded after getting shot twice with a tranquilizer.

"Yes." Yusef answered the question on the other end of the line. "Got it. We'll deal with the other person later. Hn. No worries. We'll eradicate everyone who blocks your path."

"Thanks. I'll move to my next schedule now." Sofia left the CEO's office for her next appointment which was to find William Hughes. It was really odd but she's looking for a police officer right after committing a crime. It's like her hobby in the past. After pick-pocketing and getting all the money inside the wallet, she'd go to a police station to return the wallet secretly.
