As Leonard began sauntering to enter the edifice, a man came out from it, and from his dressing, seems like he was a security guard, to be more precise...the guard of this enterprise. He's the one that does the opening and closing of the gate anytime a car wants to enter.
Leonard made sure not to look suspicious though he was wearing hooded clothe and he covered his head with the hood, but somehow, the security guard still suspected him. Getting closer to the guard, he stopped him and threw a question at him,
"How and when did you enter this compound?". Wow! two questions at the same time, 'How' and 'When'.
Leonard glanced at the gate and retorted, "Obviously, I entered through the mini gate, it's not locked? And to your question 'When', I entered about a minute ago".
"What business do you have here? Who are you looking for?". The guard questioned him once again.
If not that Leonard was being cautious and was trying to avoid trouble, he would have loved to answer this guard rudely. Like, see how he was questioning him like he was his father. He'll answer him in a way that would make him angry, and Leonard was completely ready to fight. But men, he's got to keep his cool, he was doing all these to accomplish his quest.
"You know, that question of yours is a bit weird. First of all, what is this place? A fashion designing enterprise. So I came to collect a clothe I dropped here for sewing, it's been two weeks now". Leonard uttered, he said it with such a serious facial expression that the guard became convinced immediately.
"Oh! I'm sorry for stopping and questioning you just like that, you can go in. Sorry once again". The guard apologized.
"No prob".
With that, Leonard began sauntering towards the edifice, there was a smile on his face...he just fooled this man. But he immediately brushed off the smile from his face 'cause this was just the first phase, he didn't know what would happen when he enters this building. He arrived at the door of the building that seems like a glass door, opened it, and stepped into it.
Wow was all he could say when he stepped into the building, the interior was far way glamorous than the exterior. Both males and females were present in the building, and they were busy with their jobs. The people inside consist of both the workers and the customers. Some were busy designing and styling clothes, while some were measuring customers with a measurement tape. And you know what? There were computers in the building, and some were operating them.
This fashion designing enterprise was really one of a kind, like, first of all, why do they have computers in here? What were they using them to do? There was a staircase in the building that led to the first floor, and according to what Leonard was seeing, everyone up there was busy with their different jobs. Leonard couldn't help but say to himself,
"So, Eva is the boss of all these? She owns all these? Now, this is success, the money would be flowing in like honey".
He was still glancing around and contemplating if he should mount the staircase or not when a young man approached him, he was definitely a worker of this enterprise.
"Looking for someone?". The young man inquired of him.
"Umm...yeah", He didn't know if this man would grant him what he was about to ask, he was even afraid to ask, but he's gotta ask anyway, "Can you take me to Eva's office? I want to see her".
"Our boss?". The man inquired.
"Yeah".
"What do you wanna see her for? Any problem?".
Now, the questions were already annoying Leonard, but he knew that he's gotta ask anyway, he wouldn't just let him go see their boss without questioning him?
"I've got important stuff to discuss with her, very important stuff". Leonard retorted.
"Hmm, OK, I'll take you to her office".
Leonard's heart became glad, he was already getting very close to commencing his plan. But the gladness in his heart disappeared not long after, who knows what would happen when he enters her office? And the worst part of it was that he couldn't let her know that he was stalking her, he'll have to do everything secretly.
And what if this guy decides to follow him inside her office? That would be the biggest problem of them all. So at this point, he planned on making no mistake, he planned on executing everything smoothly. The guy said to him,
"Let's get going, follow my lead".
After making that statement, he began sauntering as Leonard followed him from behind. The guy strolled over to the staircase and began mounting it, and Leonard began mounting it also. Getting to the first floor, the guy greeted the people that greeted him, and Leonard bowed to the people that glanced at him. Passing different people that were busy with their jobs, the guy cornered to a certain passage that was free of workers, and Leonard cornered along with him.
Then the guy pointed to the only door across the passage and said to Leonard,
"That's her office, enter that door, and you'll see her".
"OK". Leonard uttered nodding his head a little.
Then the guy inquired of him, "Do you want me to take you in there?".
"No, no need for that, we are very familiar with each other, so she'll recognize me immediately the moment she sets her eyes on me. Thanks for your help". Leonard voiced out with a smile on his face. Truly, the girl was familiar with him, but not in a pleasant way.
"OK then".
And with that, the guy walked away from his presence, he left the passage. Leonard glanced at the door, he wouldn't enter it just like that, he was trailing her, he's gotta do it secretly...without her knowledge. He covered his head with the hood once again, he took it off when he entered the building so the suspicious vibe flowing around him would reduce.
Then he strolled to the door and placed his left ear on it, he wanted to hear if she was discussing with someone, he wanted to know what she was up to. According to what he was hearing, she was talking to someone on the phone. And he was hearing only what she was saying, he wasn't hearing the voice of the person she was speaking with on the phone. This was what he was hearing,
"Yeah, I've given her the outfit already".
"The money wasn't transferred to my bank account, it was transferred to hers".
"You can bring more of them, no prob".
What made Leonard shiver in fear was when he heard,
"OK, you want me to go ask her? I'm going out of my office now to go ask her, I'll give you feedback in some minutes' time".
Then he heard sound that shows that she had stood up from the chair she was sitting on. Leonard knew that he couldn't let her see his face, he needed to act quickly, so he ran out of the passage and blended with the workers around the first floor. He saw her come out of the passage in a hurry with an android phone in her hand, and before he knew it, she was already dismounting the staircase.
Now, Leonard was thinking if he should make use of this opportunity or not, should he enter her office now that she wasn't there anymore? or should he not? After contemplating for some seconds, he decided to enter it, he needed to listen to her discussions, and to listen to her discussions, he needed to stay close to her.
He knew that what he was about to do now was very risky, but he needed to do it. To find out the type of men she likes, he needed to take these risks. At least, he took a big risk by entering the boot of her car, so why should he be too afraid to enter her office? He glanced around to see if anyone's gaze was fixed on him, and no one was, so he strolled back to the passage and began sauntering to the door of her office.
Reaching the door, he opened it and stepped into it, just like the exterior and interior part of this building was cool, so her office was cool also. There was a computer at the side of her office, and many of the fashion designing equipment was also in her office. He saw a door in her office, another door?
He wanted to see what was in there, so he strolled over to it and opened it. It was just a blank mini room with a huge cupboard in it.
'What is a cupboard doing here?'. He questioned himself in his thought.
Then he started hearing footsteps, that should be Eva...Eva is coming.
