This rich and depressed girl wants a change (17)

-Well you see... - I said in a broken voice. - Mhm... Since I started... school a few months ago...

-I already told you to leave it to me, Marielle. - Noel interrupted me in a kind but still firm voice. - When the school year began, Marielle had to stop going for at least two days to recover from a high fever. Upon returning to high school after being healthy again like an oak tree, she learned that she would now have a new classmate. Everything could have been perfect but Marielle feels that there is something strange about that girl. Every time she is close to that girl, her skin bristles.

-I see. - Belmont answered adjusting his glasses again. Then he leaned on the back of his chair to get more comfortable. His posture was relaxed but at the same time it was serious because he crossed his arms at the height of his chest.

-Marielle feels bad because the girl 'seems nice', but she doesn't stop feeling that constant alert sensation. I don't agree with how she has decided that this classmate is a good person.

-Mmm... To put a professional against her, there must be something really 'bad' with that girl. It's okay. We can fulfill your order. But it will be much more expensive than the other rates. After all, there will always be someone following her and you have to pay all my people that work on the case. In addition, in case of danger you will be asked for an extra bonus.

-Okay... I can pay... I have money. - I said shyly while I was nervously touching the heart pendant I wore on my neck.

-Not so fast. Never accept a deal without knowing what you have to pay. It is a bad habit that can bring you various problems in the future. - Belmont kindly scolded me while he adjusted his glasses.- The price per month for our service, because I will have to use several detectives from my agency, will be 250,000 Bts. The danger bonus will be of about 50,000 Bts per person. It's understood? If you accept, wait a few minutes for me to write the new contract and print it, then you will sign it. In case you think the rates seem exorbitant, I apologize but I will not accept other price for the job. - After saying this, the detective fell silent waiting for me to decide what I was going to do.

I did not let him wait long because after thinking about it for a minute, I replied that I accepted the price he had proposed for the work I had requested. "Yay! Detectives hired! A weight that we can get rid of. Now there will be someone always watching her and her family. I'm already much more relaxed." My body relaxed considerably.

[Congratulations host! Third objective completed!] - I was congratulated by Alphy who was rolling from side to side with happiness.

"Third? Isn't it the second goal?" I asked intrigued.

[Remember well, host! The first was to get your father to hire bodyguards for you as for the rest of your family. The second was to make friends with most of the classmates, turning them into spies without them knowing it. And now, the third is that you have managed to hire a few detectives to watch the female 'protagonist' of this part of the world. You are doing it slowly but surely. Good job, but you can't get relaxed. You have already experienced that by a little carelessness, we are almost expelled from the world. Learn from this mistake so as not to make it again.] - Alphy said ending his speech as a teacher would while he is teaching his students what not to do.

"Don't worry, I'll be more careful." I replied to Alphy assuring him that I would be much more careful from here on out. Once our mental conversation was over, I got hooked again in the other conversation.

-Then it's decided. Give me a few minutes to write the contract, sign it and after that you can tell me the identity of the girl. I think I know who it is, but I need your confirmation. While you wait, please continue with your snacks. - He didn't wait for our response and he pulled out of his briefcase a small ultra-thin laptop.

He turned it on and went to work on the contract. 25 minutes later and after surprising me with the ultra-thin and portable printer that he also had in the briefcase positioned at the bottom, everything was spoken, signed and almost finished.

-Now, only the transfer of the month is missing. Once the amount of this month is paid, I will immediately put one of my most experienced detectives to work in the case. - Belmont explained.

-Give me... a minute please...- I told him, and quickly and with nervous movements I looked for my cell phone in the bag I was carrying today.

I took it out from there and quickly I made the money transfer. Seconds later I received a confirmation and then I received the message that the money had been sent. It didn't take long for the phone of the person who should receive the money to ring. Belmont, opened the phone, checked that everything was perfect and with a smile and a handshake said goodbye to us.

- Nice to do business, miss. I hope to ease your concern very soon.

After he said goodbye, he left the cafeteria. Noel and I looked at each other in the eyes. I sighed in 'relief' and paid the bill. After that, I called Didier to ask him to pick us up. 25 minutes later we were home.

***

After saying goodbye to the two people inside the cafeteria, I went straight to where my car was parked. Once there, I opened one of the doors in the area behind the vehicle. I sat in the seat and put on my seat belt.

-Boss, how was the meeting with the little Daract? - Asked Adrien, my personal driver, looking at me from the rearview mirror before looking away to restart the engine.

I ignored him and took out the newly signed contract. One of the corners of my lips rose forming the beginning of a small and almost invisible smile. I stroked the paper a little. "Little bunny... Entertain me more."

-Take me straight to the agency. - I told Adrien while saving the document again in the folder inside the briefcase.

Once well it was stored, I took my cell phone from one of the outer pockets of the briefcase. I opened it and searched the contact list for the name I was looking for. I called and waited for the other person to pick up the call.

-It's me. I need you to locate Nathan. I have a job for him. - I waited for the other person to finish what he had to say and then I continued.

-No. This one has priority. Tell him to pass the job to Joyce. - I waited again.

-This work for now it has no deadline. Full surveillance, 24 hours a day until further notice. The month is already paid. Now, when I got there I want you to organize everything you need to make a schedule with the surveillance shifts. The person we need to watch over is a high school teenager named Fleur Allamand. The daughter of the Allamand. The address of the house is... Send Nathan over there. Work starts right now. And have Nadine send the listening virus and the other one to their cell phone and all the other devices in the house. - I said quietly. I waited in silence for his acceptance of my order and after saying that he was on his way, I hung up and put the cell phone in its place.

-Boss... You're smiling. - My driver said mischievously while looking at me from the rearview mirror now that we were stopping because of a red light.

-Don't get distracted and drive. - I replied by erasing the small and almost imperceptible smile on my face. Once my serious pose was resumed, I closed my eyes and waited for us to reach our destination.

-I'm home! - I said happily from the door of my house. I was surprised by the silence that flooded the room. Normally the maid or my mother responded to me upon arrival. I was intrigued so I ran into the living room after taking off my shoes and after putting on my slippers.

-I said I'm home! - I repeated once I was behind the door of the room that, unlike a normal day was closed. I waited a few moments, but upon receiving no response I decided to find out the reason for the strange situation. I armed myself with courage and opened the door. I saw the back of my mother who was sitting holding the phone. One of her legs moved nervously tapping the floor.

-Mom? Are you OK?! -I told her worried as I went to her. - Has something happened?

-Fleur, baby, are you back?! Sorry honey. I haven't heard you arrive. I was absorbed waiting for the good news from your father. - Mom said while stroking my face with one hand while still holding the phone with the other.
