Chapter 712 - Sarah?
Chapter 712 - Sarah?
Sam decided that the first thing that had to be done … was get the Elite Five together. It was high time for a long-overdue talk. Things were happening around quite fast, and coming back from his break made him realise this even more.
Luckily, Ali had moved nearby so setting up a meeting with all of them was easy. All he had to do was contact the others, and slip it in Kyle's schedule.
It was long overdue for their heart-to-heart sharing talks that they used to have.
Right after Sam had finalised the details, Kyle walked into the office and saw Sam there.
"Oh, welcome back," Kyle said with a grin, "Finally able to let go of your wife to come to work?"
Sam snorted, "At least I have a wife."
"Oof," Kyle responded, "Such burn."
Sam leaned back on his chair, tapping the table with his pen, "Anything I should be aware of? The things that have been happening when I was away is rather … disturbing."
Kyle acknowledged it, yet shrugged, "It's not over yet."
"Seriously?" Sam said in surprise.
"Glad you're back," Kyle said as he opened his office door, "You're just in time for this."
Sam got up immediately, taking his trusty notebook out of his hidden place and followed Kyle into the office.
Obviously, this was not a 'normal CEO' job.
An hour later, Sam sat at his desk and furrowed his eyebrows. He had listed out all the things that Kyle had wanted him to take care of, on top of the normal PA duties. Sayuri and Sarah were on top of the list.
Kyle was really being extremely careful and meticulous with the care that he wanted for her. Although Sam hadn't quite seen how Kyle had acted or treated Sayuri, the 5 pages he had to fill up with his instructions were a clear indication of his feelings.
Yet, he wasn't planning to marry her at all?
What was going on?
Sam brushed that aside.
That could wait.
Though perhaps one could say that it was merely Kyle taking care of his future kids, Sam didn't think so. He noted the different tone of voice Kyle had when talking about Sayuri and the expression on his face.
As compared to how Kyle had been when giving out his order about Sarah.
Sarah was a surprise.
Sam remembered who Sarah was. Who wouldn't? Kay's first female friend. The best friend then, until she had become too attached to Kyle. Sam hadn't known the full story and had simply chalked her up as another one that fell for Kyle.
The fact that she's here, and Kyle felt she was a threat, meant a lot.
Sam picked up the phone and contacted Uma, one of the more trustworthy ones in the Public Relations department. She wasn't MIB, but was one of those that Kyle had considered recruiting.
In the end, he didn't. Not because Uma wasn't qualified but rather, it was because Kyle felt that she would be happier having a 'normal' life.
Before recruiting anyone into MIB, once a potential agent was identified, the first thing that Kyle looked at was loyalty. Whether the person was fundamentally good, or inherently bad. Their background was checked, their behaviour was tested, and they were assessed by a specialist.
Then, Kyle would evaluate them to see if they were suitable for a 'double' life. They weren't spies, but it was undeniable that they would have a secret life. Uma was one that was not suitable for MIB but she was a trustworthy and loyal person.
So the task to monitor Sarah fell on Uma.

Uma looked at the phone for a minute, her mind whirling around in surprise.
It had been Samuel, the CEO's PA that had called her and she had been so shocked that she almost dropped the phone. Even though she was a PR officer - and the Head of this department, no less - she was still rather timid and nervous when it involved the CEO.
No, not timid but rather, too much in awe.
The CEO had actually given her, a nobody from the countryside, a chance to work here. He had set up a new system that he set up that did not merely look at paper qualifications. There was still the 'normal' route, but with the 'new' route, the CEO was the one that personally tested them.
With this golden chance, she managed to make her mark and people don't dare look down on her anymore. She may not have been able to go to college or University, but she held a relatively high position in THE best company in Country Tz.
Who would doubt her?
Now that the CEO needed her help, it was a no-brainer that she would do her best.
Sarah, huh?
Just like any of the staff under her, Uma was well aware of who Sarah was. She had been present for the final interview and thus, was also aware of her capabilities. She exuded confidence and had a bubbly personality that was suitable for this role.
She looked through her office glass panel which allowed her to see her staff. Uma had her own personal office, but one wall was replaced with glass panels entirely. It was soundproof, and there were curtains that would cover it when she wanted privacy.
This set-up was her own idea that the CEO approved readily and had even implemented it in other departments. With this set-up, she could keep an eye out on her staff - and her staff could also see that she wasn't slacking either.
From her observations, Sarah's work had been good. She was meticulous and hard-working. So what was it about her that made the CEO wary?
Uma wasn't one to doubt the CEO, however.
As Uma was contemplating her 'mission', Sarah was smiling.?First phase completed.
Infiltrated HQ. Be the perfect staff.
Next. Sow doubt.
