When I sent the investigation results to Karina, she was very dissatisfied. "I didn't spend so much money just for you to tell me he's an exceptional man, a paragon of virtue!"
Then she got into furious.
Watching her throw two cups in the video, I suggested tentatively, "Since there's no current target, how about we create one?"
"What do you mean?" Karina paused with the third cup in her hand.
"You'll arrange for me to join the Schmitt Group. I'll take the lead and finish the task!"
With Karina's approval, I completed the procedures quickly and became a secretary at the Schmitt Group.
Derrick had his special secretary, and usually, new hires wouldn't get his attention.
But Karina and I had our plans.
With her subtle support and my efforts, I soon caught Derrick's eye and became his newest personal assistant.
In the morning, I made his coffee. At lunchtime, I prepared balanced work lunches. In the afternoon, I arranged private trainers according to his schedule, and in the evening, after a day of work, I satisfied him in the high-end suite at the hotel owned by the company.
That was exactly what you were thinking.
I became Derrick's most valued "personal secretary" quickly and, aside from his wife, the person closest to him, even closer than his wife.
After all, it was excited for men to cheat on their wives.
As the year went by, he totally trusted me. I accompanied him everywhere, such as meetings, client visits, business trips, and so on, though in public, I was always just the secretary sitting in the corner, taking notes.
We were very cautious in the company, which explained why there had been no rumors about him over the years.
To everyone, he was a good husband and father. Even though he was busy, he always remembered to return home on his wife and children's birthdays, bringing birthday gifts for them.
Well, those gifts were carefully selected and decorated by me for him to take home.
"Camilla, it's just business. Do you really need to take it so seriously? Don't you think it's too much?" a colleague who had followed me for three years asked with confusion.
I smiled seductively, "Too much? Well, after all, Karina paid us so generously."
But there were no hints of smile in my eyes. I was calculating that it was about time.
I had been by Derrick's side for almost a year. In half a month, it would be my "birthday", so I coaxed him into personally choosing a gift for me.
