scheduled it this morning.
"Why don't you talk with the representative?"
I looked at him; he was unbelievable, he was making a joke. "No, I can’t!"
"And if you make him sweat, I will take you out for a nice dinner tonight."
My mind started running around the idea. When Olivia gave me the piece of paper, she took a promise from me that I would introduce her to Mark and Daniel. She had some crazy ideas she wanted to try on them. "How about you come on a double date with me, Daniel and my roommate?" It was a long shot, but I bit the bullet.
"What, a date?" his eyes narrowed on my face.
"Yes, a date. And believe me, you will love Olivia. She is sexy and smart."
"And you will go with Daniel?" something dark ran by his eyes. I had never seen that expression there before.
"Yes, is that an issue?" I rolled my eyes.
"No issue, I just don't do dates." He said in a lonely voice.
"Just one night and you can fly out any time. Just meet my friend. She is the one who got this paper." I wanted him to come along. That way, Daniel wouldn't try to make out with me. I would have loved that when I first saw him, but now after spending so much time with Mr. M, making out with anyone but him seemed like a terrible idea.
Please save me, Mark.
"Are you sure about this? Daniel wouldn't like my company, and he has been trying to take you out since you first started here.” He looked disturbed.
"No, it wouldn't be a problem. Trust me; Olivia is much better company than I am. And she would keep the date alive for all four of us." Olivia was the party girl. I knew Mark would be going home with her tonight. No one could resist her charm. Mark wouldn't be an exception, but then his kiss, his full lips. Olivia will claim them as her own, and she might even fall in love with him.
Fuck, what am I thinking? It's just one date.
"Okay, but only if you nail this representative.” He smiled, forcefully.
"I will, just watch me." I collected all my confidence. I didn't know what I was going to do when the representative came.
"Hello, Mr. Peterson." A man in gray jacket extended his hand to Mark.
"And you are?" Mark cocked his bow.
"I'm Tyson from Smith and Johnson. Your assistant called me this morning."
"I'm not his assistant, Mr. Tyson. I'm Zoe.
"What?" His face turned red.
"Yes, I'm your nightmare from now on. Daily you will receive one trade of your firm which is suspicious with the Yellow Cheats your client gives to those innocent people."
"What are you talking about?" his face color changed again, now it was different than red, something darker.
"I know each and every trade your firm performed which was not a genuine one, AMC Pharmaceuticals, October 2013 Oct; GDP Technologies, November 2013;NorcoRealties, December 2013. Oh, sorry shall I talk about the ones in 2014 or 2015?"
"You can't know all this. This is confidential information. And you don't have any proof." His face color was completely washed out now.
"Do you know what the US Government will do once they get this information?" I handed him the paper I gave to Mark.
He read it for a moment. Now his face was twisting in horror and I was enjoying every second of it.
"No, you can't have this. This is from the mainframe and no one has access to these documents."
"I'll mail the complete file to the District Attorney, if you don't settle Genna's case by tonight."
"No you can't do this."
"Ten million dollars to Genna and fifteen million into the Child Help Fund."
"I'll make it twenty. But I want you to sign on this paper." His tone was completely changed.
Mark read that document for a moment. "So this says that you won't open up about this information in front of any one, Miss Zoe Nightmare."
"Is that your real name?" Mr. Tyson asked me.
"Yes, it is. Shall we, Mark?" I didn't know what I should be doing.
"Sign it, it's good." Mark winked at me.
I signed the document and we walked out of there.
"You won, and I liked the way you took the money
