"So, when is the event you are referring to?"
"The day after tomorrow, and that means today and tomorrow you have to teach me, it's just that after seeing Nial's email, there's a meeting with some clients this afternoon, so that means I only have time this morning and tomorrow."
"Jayke, wouldn't it be better if you asked Nial's secretary to change your schedule for the next two days? It's too risky for you to study it in such a short time, not to mention you don't know the details of the meeting you're going to have."
Jayke nodded his head confirming the words from Carla which he thought were true.
"You can tell you're not feeling well, and you should just email some documents… ah I mean Nial," Carla told Jayke of the steps he should take.
Again, Jayke only confirmed what Carla said which he thought seemed reasonable.
"Ah, Nial's cellphone is with you, right?" Carla asked reminding Jayke.
"This, I almost didn't take it, it's just that I realized that if I didn't take it there would be a pretty significant gap right?"
Carla, of course, agreed with Jayke's words, which were true, what she meant was that.
After that, Carla immediately took Nial's cellphone and tried to check it, so that Jayke didn't make a mistake.
Because there will be many things that might be factors that he must learn.
"Looks like you have to be careful with Nial's new girlfriend, you didn't mean to tell her you Jayke did you?" Carla muffled waiting for an answer from Jayke.
Jayke frowned. Honestly, he had thought about telling Judith, since Nial had told him earlier that the girl was a nurse who took care of his father as well, so it wouldn't be a problem if he told the girl.
"Why do you think so?"
"I feel there is something odd in this chat, and if you look at the gallery that is here, Nial and Judith don't seem to be dating often, documenting themselves, or maybe they purposely didn't capture their moments, but if they love each other, especially if they cheating on me, does that seem odd?"
Thump!
Jayke fell silent for a moment. He didn't know about it at all, it's just that Nial's gaze and previous words to him seemed to indicate that he really loved the girl, only what Carla said was true.
Jayke reflexively took Nial's cellphone from Carla's hand and looked at the contents of the chat as well as the gallery that Carla said earlier.
'What?! How could they date with only three photos in the gallery?' It was Jayke's monologue that this time agreed with Carla's words.
"May I see your phone gallery?" Jayke asked without hesitation.
Carla sighed softly and handed the cellphone to Jayke just like that.
Jayke who had been holding Carla's cellphone immediately took a quick look at the girl's gallery, and after that, he immediately downloaded the girl tracker application.
"What are you doing?"
"Just comparing and installing a tracking application on your cellphone, because of my business you are involved and I don't want you to be in danger."
'Eh-'
Carla blinked slowly. She thought Jayke was going to check her message or something, but it wasn't like that.
"Ah, looks like you've tried to forget Nial, it's just that you don't really want to delete the photo, do you? Because a lot of memories are there."
This time, Carla couldn't deny or refute the sentence that Jayke had just said, because what Jayke said was true.
Carla took a deep breath, and let it out slowly while nodding her head.
"You are right."
Those were the only three words Carla said to Jayke.
"It's okay, I'll help you."
The ambiguous sentence that came out of Jayke's lips.
"Okay, how do we start today with a little habit that Nial usually does?" Jayke mumbled in the end, diverting the conversation so Carla wouldn't think too much.
Carla enthusiastically agreed with Jayke's words.
"Wait, I'll give you a small note so you can memorize it easily," Carla said as she took out her small book and also the stationery in her bag.
[1. Nial loves to rub his chin when he is in doubt.
2. Nial will unconsciously smile thinly if what he thinks is right or what he thinks is the same as his thinking.
3. Nial likes to tap - tap his fingers when he is thinking.
4. Nial likes to pat the shoulders of other people he already considers familiar.
5. Nial will not reject anything he doesn't like directly when the person in front of him is still expressing his opinion, but he will reject it outright if the person in front of him has finished speaking.
6. Nial doesn't like small talk.
7. Nial perfectionist]
"This, you can read slowly, and I think a lot of things are the opposite of you. Are you okay with that?"
Jayke did not first confirm or deny what Carla said, but he tried to read carefully one by one in Carla's writing.
"Gosh, that's a lot of it. Are you sure things like this will be obvious to others?"
"I think it's like that, since Nial can be said to often do this gesture, it would be strange if you who disguised yourself as Nial didn't do it."
"Alright, I'll try to follow your instructions."
"Ah, and you better cut your hair a little neatly to be like Nial," said Carla, who realized that the biggest difference between Nial and Jayke was in the haircut.
"Sure," Jayke said quickly.
Jayke, who almost forgot to reason with Nial's secretary that he couldn't meet his client, in the end immediately gave a short message to the secretary, which Nial often talked about, of course.
Jayke has rarely or almost never been home in recent times, it's just that Nial sometimes still thinks of himself trying to contact him when he needs someone to talk to, and it's not wrong if Nial without realizing it often talks about people around him.
"What's wrong Jayke? You look quite panicked?"
"I almost forgot to text Jody."
"Jody?"
"Yup, the secretary that Nial trusts in his office."
Carla who heard it just nodded her head, at least from Carla's point of view, the young man in front of her had the same good intelligence, not too much different from Nial, Carla's ex-lover.
'Hope my guess is wrong.'
