The Expensive Truth Shouldn't Be Known

Reduis Saturno, A Filipino man that is a shareholder in the Clatias. Although he has connections with the Chairman's Ponia, Pol Ferecio.

Ferecio made a great deal to Saturno, a 5% stock of the company will go to Saturno as long as he will be willing to tell interesting details about Clatias to him. Of course, Reduis Saturno was a careful man that he warned Ferecio if the deal doesn't happen, he will make sure whatever he plans on the Clatias, he will be the one who will get on his way that he won't very like it. Saturno doesn't like Ferecio at all and he is willing to betray him once he knows that something is happening to him because of Ferecio.

The man that Leo found was Xhien Chin, a Chinese man who works and is a shareholder of Clatias. He was seen in the camera footage going up to the 6th floor and down the 5th floor on the stairs before and after the fire accident happened. Well not an accident now, right?

Jhasper and Leo made the plan, making Xhien Chin make a move on the company and once he thought it was a success, that is the time that they will grab the opportunity to get Xhien Chin caught in action. but they were not sure what scheme they made or are making to the Clatias company. So they made huge possibilities since it seems like, the Ponia doesn't care after all if their spies destroy the whole building just to shut down the Clatias. The only highest possibility was that the Chairman of the Ponia was the head planner of fire on the 5th floor.

Leo asked someone in the company to report every move of Xhien Chin in and out of the company as well as schedules of him. Well, Leo is an acting CEO so he's the one who commanded and pointed to anything that he should. Damn Jhasper, you should be here not me you knucklehead. Leo thought.

Jhasper was out all day, of course, stalking. Not a woman but this Xhien Chin. He actually blended well in the crowd that no one noticed him following a person. He noticed that there are two guards following him anywhere that he couldn't get near him. The only time that he could get near is inside the Clatias building. To hell the guards. He thought.

While Jhasper is stalking this Chinese man, Leo interviewed Lorenze for what happened in the 5th floor.

"I think my cigarette is impossible to make flames in the fifth floor, I threw it outside the building!" Lorenze shouted.

"Quiet down Lorenze. Now tell me who were you with the time before the fire happened."

Lorenze scratched his head and thought about it.

"Well?" Leo snapped Lorenze

"My girlfriend, o-of course, and... David! Yes, David Genio the second. Uhh...." After a few seconds he remembered a man entering the office on the fifth floor. "Yes! There was a man walking out and in the restroom that time!" Lorenze eyes grew larger

"What does he look like?" Leo asked

"uh, a foreigner... Chinese! Yes, a Chinese man. He was wearing black clothes. He was suspicious at that time, but he didn't cover his face."

Leo typed on his computer, "You may go now"

"Does that mean that I am clear about suspicion?"

"Not yet, but once everything is clear, yes you are also clear."

Lorenze smiled and finally said "Thank you! I never expected someone to help me! This is New York, but I'm great to work with your company!"

Leo smiled as Lorenze went out of his office. Jhasper's office Leo thought.

...

"So, how is it going Mr. Ferecio?"

A man, old as oak was sitting on the sofa of the Chairman's office in Ponia.

"Everything is going fine. The mafia we hired was doing a good job, yet I never thought that they would bring a woman to be doing all the plans to the Clatias."

"It's better for a woman to be a spy since they look innocent although they also made something wrong and sometimes a criminal. I'm only worried about how she made her cover." The man said and sipped the coffee on his cup and put it on the table.

"She reported to me that she was using someone, a person named Jhasper Clinton. I asked Chin about him and saw a picture he gave to me. He has this looks that can make women like him directly." Pol crossed his arms.

"Feminine tricks." The old man said and continued. "She has the looks, so she won't rise any suspicion on other people who works with her. Men would be distracted about her body shape as far as I can see."

Pol grinned, "You liked this girl by just looking at her picture?"

"Not all women can be like her. Badass chix perhaps. She got the brain, the skills, and she's doing it really good. I heard that she was just eating with this Jhasper on the restaurant while the fire plan on the fifth floor happened. She won't look suspicious by then but..." He took a sip of his coffee and continued, "...I've heard that Xhien Chin got caught and the Chairman of the Clatias knew it."

Pol sweated, "He was seen in the camera footage from what I know."

"Just how many people knew every spies in the Clatias?" The old man gave a sharp look to Pol.

"Only me, the woman, and Reduis... Of course including you."

"Then that's great. Xhien Chin doesn't know all the spies?"

"No sir, he only knows the one on the 4th floor."

The old man nodded. He stood up and walked with a long umbrella. Before he closed the door of the office, he turned around and said, "I'll be looking forward for the results Mr. Ferecio. We will see each other again next time." The old man closed the door and used the elevator to go to the ground floor.

After the old man is totally gone. He punched his table and cursed himself. "That old bastard. I will wait for his grave."

...

Jhasper is walking on the street, getting a newspaper. The headline was the fire in the Clatias. FIRE OCCURED IN THE CLATIAS BUILDING. Reporters are full of hell. Jhasper thought. He read the article and it said _IS IT AN ACCIDENT OR A PLANNED CRIME? Many people in New York knows that Clatias has enemies but no one dared to touched it. It was....._

"Hell yeah, it was a planned crime that looked like an accident." Jhasper said.

As he continued walking, he has this feeling that someone was looking on his back. He turned left on a narrow alley and saw indeed that there was someone following him. There was a tail following another tail to the head. He thought. It must be Xhien Chin's man, since there was one time that he got caught following him. He saw that this man following him was carrying a gun. He took a right turn and saw that it was a dead end.

"The chase is over, put your hands up to your head and slowly turn around" The man said.

He followed what he said.

"So, you're really a spy in the company." Jhasper said while grinning to the man in front of him.
