The Dangerous Obsession

The task

Carly pov

I began to work on the Brooklyn & co project effectively without delay.

I started my research on the company major interest in clients and the reason for their disapproval that causes frequent contracts denial.

Learning their business tactics and keeping track on previous companies that succeeded in working with them years back.

I took note of every piece of information I gathered on both accepted and rejected contracts, clients records , company records and compare with what our company gave out doing their past projects with them.

I was hoping to find a pattern desire they accept without the knowledge of their clients.

Things were getting interesting now, I see why this project was abandoned for years.

But why did he want me to deal with this alone, it should be team work. Every individual should be allowed give their own opinion on how to stand out this time.

I spent weeks investigating thoroughly. To my suprise, Mr Grayson haven’t arrived back from meeting, that’s why we couldn’t start this search together.

He was meant to review my work today.

Thankfully I had grabbed some ideas but i need to be sure before discussing it with him.

She looked into Grayson enterprise and saw some old files and started pointing out the errors of each project.

By the time i marked to the middle i noticed they are too much faults in the file.

Several calculations are incorrect total costs is giving something different from the price calculated even though it doesn’t seems intentional.

That alone is enough reason to get rejected.

Two hours later, I was done with my research and the strategies used by the companies that were in working Brooklyn & co.

I pulled my chair backward from my desk and began arranging the document accordingly.

Then I noticed a file fall down, i bend over to pick it up and looked at it.

It looked so rough and old like it was kept here for a purpose but I can’t be so sure.

The tips are torn and dusty it has a musty smell.

I began to read the content of the file.

It seems someone was gave this task before and it looks so good compared to the project submitted that leads to contracts failure but come someone from this company has this kind of information on how to get Brooklyn & co contract but hide this here?

My face widened in Suprised.

“Curiosity got the best of me, I began to open it.”

“My jaw dropped in Suprised.”

So this contractor worth billions of dollars gain and was hidden?

Who could have done this?

This is so useful and it could have helped this company gain a lot ranks and expanded their shares

Why didn’t this person showed the ceo get good recognition for it ?

By the time I examined the few pages and the last one a name was used has signature.

“Lopez Claire.”

Who is she?

And how does this get there?

I have met the staff and clearly there’s no one with that name.

Fears and questions were all over me.

I wonder how this strategy that could have worked didn’t get used like two years ago.

Why?

Why is not part of the staff and I need to find out who this person is?

And can’t say this to anyone at all.

I looked around the office.

My hands are already shaking.

“After this discovery I felt someone was watching I stood up immediately looking, but maybe I was just overthinking things.”

My mind was filled with questions, and I don’t know how to get answers.

Who’s Claire Lopez?

I need to find out about her quietly, without noticing anyone but I can’t find answers myself.

I tightened my fingers around the files, I’m never letting go of it.

Thirty minutes later, my phone rang.

“Hello sir.”

“Miss Carly, see me in my office right away.

I walked towards his office.

……..

So you’re done with the work? he asked.

Yes sir.

“Let’s see.”

I placed the files and documents on his desk excluding the old I found earlier.

No one should know about it, I whispered.

He began to check lines by lines.

My heart was already racing so fast.

He will definitely reject this too my weeks of hard work even though I added the old idea to mine.

The majority research was mine that old one will works perfectly few years ago, things are totally different now it’s just like an eye opener.

I was already shaking while waiting for his response.

I already knew he would tell me to redo with his cold eyes still checking out the documents.

Miss Carly, you should sit and it seems we have a lot of talking to do.

My stomach tightened.

And am done examine your work.

I walked towards the chair opposite his desk and seat there.

I noticed my palms were sweating but I quickly folded arms before he raised his head.

For few minutes, the office was echoing.

Then he finally breaks the silence.

Let’s discuss what we’ve both learned about this project.

Few years back our company had not be able to bus any contract with Brooklyn & co which happens to be one of the biggest in this city.

We got rejected few times in a row but the difficult part is they will never point out companies errors they prefer you figure it out yourselves.

And I noticed you went through our previous project for years back and you did research about Brooklyn & co company and their old and recent clients.

“Yes sir.”

Since you manage to pull through it all by yourself.

You will be part of the project team and the person to defend this project.

Sir?

Yes Miss Carly.

I sat there in shock, trying to comprehend what he said.

I can’t believe this is happening.
