Bab 105: Time No See
Meeting Liz for the dress talk about opening the company's
Theodore Pov
~Sunday Morning 10:00 am~
I had shortened my morning routine as I had to go to Liz (Elizabeth) and present the dresses but also because I have a business proposition, that should benefit both us.
The other reason Is that I just want to meet Liz and Sarah. Its been a whole week and a bit since we last met in person and we barely talk anymore. So it's safe to say that I'm nervous and excited.
I was holding three hangers that had black covers over it, protecting the three dresses. I was wearing a white long-sleeved collared shirt, that was buttoned to the top. For my lower half, I wore black trousers and black shoes. On my head, I had big sunglasses and a grey cap covering my eye-catching white hair.
I greeted the receptionist Alice and then made my way to Liz's office while also greeting the various co-workers that I met during the modelling project. I finally got to see Sarah (Assistant) seated at her desk surrounded by what seemed like a flood of paperwork.
"Hey Sarah," I said warmly before sitting opposite of her with her desk dividing us
Sarah looked up tiredly before her face revealed an energised teasing smile "Wow Mr Hero finally remembers to stop by. For real though it's been a while how are things"
I give an awkward laugh before saying "Umm You know same old handsome genius makes money"
"Oh, it seems like you gained some confidence over the time I didn't see you. Say are you confident enough to relieve my stress with some hot steamy office sex" Said Sarah while undoing her blond hair that draped over her shoulder
My mind went momentarily blank as I felt my pride be challenged, thankfully I controlled myself. But of course, Sarah continues to tease me while unbuttoning her top three buttons to show her cleavage and giving me a tempting look that could seduce any man.
And it worked as I got off my chair quickly which caused Sarah to be slightly shocked. Then I slowly walked around the desk with a very dominant attitude. Look down at the succubus that is Sarah and lean into her excited face. Her hands were gripping the armrests as I cover her hands with my own.
I lean in closer with our eyes locked, I feel her hot breath on my face. As I get closer she closes her eyes in anticipation before I kiss her on the cheek and say "Did you get excited"
Her eyes open with a look of disappointment and said "It's not good to tease women"
"Then don't challenge me or else you'll lose BAadly," I said emphasizing badly slowly
For the first time, I see her face go red as she looked away embarrassingly.
'Wow did I actually win and I didn't even use the other me this time' I thought proudly
"So what's all this paperwork about," I said looking her desk
She sighs and replies "We are being targeted by other companies "
"Oh how so," I asked curiously
"It's. . ." Sarah was about to speak but loud sound came from Liz's office cutting her off
*Smack*
Sarah and I got up and peeked into the office to see Liz standing behind her desk looking at the man opposite her with a very displeased expression.
"Please leave" Said Liz coldly at the man
"Do what's best for your company?" Said the man stubbornly
"You don't know what's best, this is no longer up for discussion. Leave immediately or I'll have security kick you out" Said Liz angrily
The man got up with a smug smile on his face which frankly pissed me off.
He walks passed us and said while giving me his business card "Stop by a kid"
I put the card away keeping a mental note to do a background check once I get home. Sarah and I walk towards Liz carefully.
"So another so-called cooperation, huh?" Said Sarah tiredly
"Yeah, Hey Theo it's good to see you," said Liz with a sad smile
"Hi. So, tell me what's going on" I said
"A few days after our interview on T.V a report came out that our children's clothing line had polyester in it causing a young girl of three that was recovering from eczema to suffer from eczema again," Said Sarah sadly
"That seems more like the parent didn't check the fabric," I said naively
"Yes, it would be if we had made the clothes with polyester but, we don't so the fault is not on the parent but the manufactures. After that numerous other cases appeared with the same problem. In turn, we are forced to stop productions to investigate whether what they claim is true or not" Said Sarah
"So I guess someone had intervened with the investigation as to prolong it causing you to lose out on sales or the investigation came out to be true which forced you to look for other factories," I said
"Yeah, It's the first one" Said Liz
"It's not the first time this has happened. If I remember correctly this form conspiracy is quite common within the food industry. If you want I can pull up the relevant evidence that could prove your companies innocence. Then we can take it to court for misuse of power and slander ect" I said casually
"The problem is that we have no evidence nor do we have the connections that can help us in finding evidence. We tried getting in contact with some P.I's (Private Investigator) but they all refused immediately. The cops aren't much helping either" Said Sarah
"Who said you don't have connections, can you let me on your computer," I said getting up walking around Liz's desk
"Yeah, sure but my computer doesn't have anything important," Said Liz
I pull out a small black USB stick from my inventory and stick it into the USB port. The USB contains a few shortcuts and a particular system that helps speed up the progress of hacking. Giving it a few seconds a file appeared on the screen. I then click enter as it begins to start up.
"So how fast is your internet," I said while waiting
"It's one of the best so it's fast" Said Sarah
"Okay, so I've now copied everything that is important I've also retrieved some deleted stuff from before the start of the conspiracy," I said
"Why would that matter" Said Sarah
"It's just in case something happens," I said
"Okay, so what's next" Said Liz
"Next comes the boring backtracking for all the competitors but we can start with the people that stopped by to give some help or advice. So just list some names and we can crack on" I said nonchalantly
We spent three gruelling hours checking all the competitors while also copying any dirty secrets.
"Okay, Sarah send me the names of all the people working on the production of the clothes," I said
"Done, can you tell us what you doing" Said Sarah
"Yeah, it's been three hours of constant tapping" Said Liz with her hands over her ears
"I'm putting all the data through a system I built. The system is able to quickly filter through data to find any correlation. It's basically cross-referencing. It's the same method used within the police and secret services but my system can do what they can do in a day it can do it in five or ten seconds" I said looking at the loading bar
"It can't be that fast" Said Sarah suspiciously
"And done, looks like none of the workers was in contact with the other companies. Liz, send me the names of the people who came out and made complaints," I said
"Okay, is this really gonna work," Said, Liz
"Believe me I've never done anything that I'm unsure of," I said
"And there you have it all the people who claimed that your clothes have polyester have made contact with an assistant of James Stevens the owner of the PRIME. It seems that they are really gunning for Ya" I said
"But we can't use this in court cus If I'm not wrong your method is illegal so it's not valid evidence," Said Liz sadly
"It's fine, we just have to make the information public it's too bad that PRIME won't suffer as they can easily shift responsibility on to the assistance or they have another fall guy but it should help clear things up," I said
"How do we make it public if it's found that we have any connection to the news will be charged" Said Sarah
"It's fine they won't find any connections to us because someone else will do it," I said while opening up Facebook on the computer
"Who is willing to do that?" Asked Liz
I sign into my [ ] account that doesn't follow the usual sign in. They look at the computer in shock before shouting "YOUR BLANK!!
I ignore them and immediately begin uploading all the info. I know for a fact that every government in the world and their secret services are watching my Facebook account. I had also sent it to all the big News stations.
" And we're done," I said happily
"Thank You, Theo," Said Liz hugging me
"And the hero saves the day
come let me give you, your reward" Said Sarah kissing my cheek
"Enough about that I brought the dresses that you wanted and here's basic format as to how I stitched it. You can just ask the factory to implant it" I said to show the format on the computer.
I got up, picked up the black covered dress and unzipped it to present a red traditional Chinese Qipao Dress that had beautiful bright yellow sunflowers with white butterfly's. The Vague brand was also in white embroidery hiding within the flowers and butterflies.
Liz and Sarah looked on with awe. They cautiously approached it gently running their finger along with the threading. Sarah got up and ran to the other two black-covered dress and opened it to see two dresses I identical to the first one.
"You just have put your tags on it and then you can sell it. Also, This one is made to fit you, Liz and the other one is also made to fit Sarah" I said casually
"I remember your sizes from the last time I fixed the clothes to fit you guys during my first day here," I said
"Right, so let's sit down and talk business," I said
They look at me confusedly before sitting down.
"This is new, getting all serious" Said Sarah
"Let me here your business proposition, Mr Hunt, Said Liz
"If you haven't heard I've recently had my hand into the gaming industry making games with groundbreaking figures such as "Mortal Kombat" has over three million regular players and "Getting Over It" with a million. Mortal Kombat's donation system and small micro-transaction brings about $2,00,00 daily leading it to be completely run by the community" I said with a proud smile
"That's incredible," Said Liz with a shocked face
"What a monster," Said, Sarah bluntly

Flat_Moon The hacking stuff is bullish*t as I have no knowledge in such area nor is their enough online reference for me to get an idea of how it works. So forgive hackers
The little scene with Sarah could be seen as a step forward in his character of course making sure it's not forceful nor showing him back down. So gentlemen with a bit edge to it.
Hope you enjoy if you did give me your stones or maybe even a review.
