Alexander Arlan Ainsley POV
Garry Chapman: " To attach to a smaller stuff like a bag? Yes, we have. We have another product. The name is the supermini CCTV. It could be using for the smaller stuffs, but I would advise you to adjust it to the object. For bags, it can be installed, but it is better to put it on the inside so that it does not come off."
I did not have any idea what the supermini CCTV looked like and how it worked when attached to the bag. Should I just come to the headquarters directly so that I can discuss it further with Garry? Who knows, I might get some additional insight from him.
Me: "By the way, what time do you get off work? I want to come there to talk about this."
I could have gone there and told Garry to stand by, but I could not do it. Not only was he not a full-time member, but he was not on my staff, so there was no way I could do that, even though the Godfather and Damien always let me do whatever I wanted.
Garry Chapman: "I worked late today until seven in the evening. If you want to come here, I'm still in the office."
I was relieved to hear Garry's answer because meeting in person was better for getting more information. I did not want to live in uncertainty, especially about Arletta. We should be able to establish a closer relationship and get rid of her boyfriend from my girl's life as soon as possible!
Me: "Good! I will be at the headquarters in a moment. Thanks, Garry."
I would not waste this golden opportunity. The supermini CCTV might be the best solution to my problem.
Garry Chapman: "You are welcome, sir."
I quickly hung up the phone. I looked at the screen, and there was still thirty minutes left. "If there are still no documents to sign or RM calls for a quick meeting, then I can leave this place immediately."
I heard the sound of knocking, so as soon as possible I turned my head to it. "Who is that?" I asked, curious.
"Mr. Ainsley. This is Thomas," my assistant replied from behind the door.
"Come in!" I allowed Thomas to enter my workroom.
What a strange coincidence; I had just finished mumbling when suddenly Thomas appeared. At least I kept up the good work before leaving the office.
My assistant appeared with three documents. I was grateful because Thomas did not bring too many documents.
"Mr. Ainsley, here are three urgent documents from three RMs." Thomas said as he handed over the items in both hands.
I received all the documents properly and then placed them on the table. When I looked at the front of the papers, I could immediately recognize that they had been checked beforehand, and I had requested that the wrong parts be revised. It was not really my job to check if there were any sentences that were not quite right, but sometimes, if there were not too many mistakes, I deliberately marked and noted them.
"Thanks. You can take all this after I get out of the office."
I wanted to finish all the work as quickly as possible so that I would not be late for the Red Opium headquarters. The supermini CCTV must be resolved. Who knows, it might be customized for me, but still worked optimally.
"Yes, sir."
I nodded and started looking at the documents on the table. I read everything written until the last page. I could hear the sound of the door opening from the inside and closing from the outside, indicating that Thomas had left.
The documents were read and signed one by one. I put everything on the table, but the laptop was still turned on. I checked the schedule again; it was still the same. Finally, I checked my e-mail, and luckily, there was no urgent new e-mail.
"All is good. I am ready to go." I muttered while closing all the windows on the laptop screen.
When all the windows were closed, I shut down the laptop, and soon, it shut down. I picked up the cell phone that was on the table, and there was already a message from Louis, but it was not the right time to open the message, so I put the phone into my pants pocket.
I got up from the chair and walked towards the door. The laptop screen was left open, as I was not used to closing that thing while it was still hot. I could not wait to get to The Red Opium's headquarters because from there, I could determine what kind of supermini CCTV would be suitable for Arletta.
I walked out of the room, and the office was quiet. I kept walking until I was completely out of the office. My right hand reached into my pants pocket and grabbed my cell phone, remembering to contact my driver.
"I almost forgot to call Dominic."
I stopped walking and concentrated on my cell phone. I put it to my left ear and waited for Dominic to pick up the phone, so I would not have to wait long when I went down to the first floor.
Me: "Hello, Dom."
I was relieved that my driver answered the phone right away, even though it was only the second ring.
Dominic Luzzos: "Hello, boss."
I did not want to stay long in the office because I had to carry out a mission to get to Arletta, even though there was not much work there. If work were hectic, I would not even go there, and I could not think about my girl at all!
Me: "Pick me up in the lobby. I am going to headquarters."
My driver must have understood what I was saying because he was also part of The Red Opium. Dominic had faithfully worked for me for eight years, and I was grateful for that.
Dominic Luzzos: "Yes, boss. I will be there now."
Me: "Thanks."
I ended the conversation as soon as possible and returned my phone in my pants pocket. I walked back to the elevator and pressed the button. The doors opened by themselves, and I got in. After pressing the button by the door, it closed, and the elevator moved to the first floor.
I was reminded of Arletta. We met for the first time in the elevator, and it was an unforgettable moment. My girl was at The Hidden Dragon's hospital and went to the emergency room instead, meaning she was sick.
"I can't keep quiet. I have to find a way to keep an eye on Arletta without her or Fiona knowing."
The elevator stopped moving, and the doors opened. I stepped out and walked towards the lobby, and from twenty meters away, I could recognize the car that was being used. I quickened my pace so that I could get there quickly.
"Dom is right on time. Great," I muttered softly.
I reached the glass door that opened automatically when someone was there. I walked out of the building and got into the car. Dominic drove off, and I thought back to Louis's message. Now was a good time, because I had free time.
I looked at the screen and selected Louis' message. When I opened the message, I saw several pictures and one of them was of Arletta kissing a man. The sight made me so angry that I clenched my left hand into a fist.
"Asshole! Who is he? How dare he kiss my girl!"
