The man known as Director Arabella looked at David and stretched out his right hand with a smile, "Director David, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, but seeing how busy you are with official duties, I didn't dare to disturb you. We finally have the chance to meet officially today!"
David was also meeting the city director for the first time, and he replied, "Director Arabella, hello!"
"Director David, you've been handling your cases well recently, especially this Dieter case, which has simply showcased the might of our Federal Tax Bureau..."
In the time that followed, Arabella kept praising David's case-handling skills. Meanwhile, David was outwardly agreeing, but he was actually discreetly sizing up some of the high-ranking officials and influential figures present.
From his observations, it seemed that many officials, whether in the city hall or city council, had issues with corruption and illicit profits.
