I saw Francoise already sitting at the bar. It means it's time for me to come to him.
"I have to go first. He's sitting at the bar."
"There go, make him bend his knees to you."
Bend your knees to me?! That's a huge exaggeration.
I had to get to him, Katarina and Shasha left me to do my job. But still knowing that I had been spying on a military contractor director made my mind goofy. Whether I'm unlucky or lucky, I can't say it.
"Hi..." I greeted him briefly and sat down next to him. She smiled at me.
'You're being watched, recorded now?' He made a question with a memo on his phone, as I was already sitting next to him.
"Not recorded, probably watched yes." I don't know where Katarina and Shasha are, obviously they're not far away.
"Oh, then what should we do? Seen to talk, right?"
"She was just talking, clearly not seen fighting each other. They will see me fail." She smiles.
"How are you?" The small attention of just asking how I was doing was enough to make me happy.
"I'm good." After getting the fact that he was acting so generously forgiving me I didn't want to do anything that could harm him anymore. Plus now that I know his position, I don't have the courage to ask for anything.
"Sorry, I cheated you for 40,000. I know I'm so bad in your eyes. Here's the 10,000 cheque you gave me. I don't dare accept this." I put it in an envelope and I gave it back to her because I didn't feel it was worth it, I wanted to leave it to Philippe but I felt like giving it to Philippe would make her feel ashamed, so I just kept it.
"You don't think I'm being outrageous?"
"If I think you're too much, I'll put you in jail. Save for you. I know you need it." He ignored the envelope I was still holding.
"I've tricked you for 40,000, I really can't accept this."
"What you sabotage is a cell phone that contains common things, you don't manage to sabotage my phone that they've been getting for weeks is a dime. Let's just say they give you 40,000 free. Don't worry."
"really."
"really. What do you want to drink?" She was sincerely unwilling to accept it, I put the check back in my bag.
"Martini. Thank you." Thank you."
"How's your job? Good salary?"
"Pretty good." I passionately tell you that in this short period of time at least my monthly salary is almost 70% higher than my usual salary, not including tips.
"That's great. At least you can handle your own financial problems now." He smiled hearing me speak so excitedly.
"A lot of extras from being this legal spy. I've never had 10,000 now have nearly 50,000. This alone makes me happy, I feel 50,000 is very big, I sometimes have to make sure the amount in my savings is not a dream, this is a shame, you do not need to hear my story. You know I used you but you set this up for me, I kind of owe you a lot." I laugh at myself in front of him, I'm ashamed of this director of course, maybe I'm the poorest girl he's ever met.
