Chapter 3: Planning for the next mission

When the sun rises, a new day starts but for Cedric, it is just the continuation of the last day, that is because of a person called Steve.

What do you mean by all these?

The loud voice of Cedric came out early in the morning.

What do you mean? is there something weird?

Said Steve while smiling brightly and talk in a relaxed state as always.

Everything about this is weird. Who even came up with this type of script?

Now, don't get too frustrated you don't want to get bald at a young age.

Steve calms Cedric and after he drinks a glass of water, Cedric calmly asks:

So, who wrote this type of script for me?

With a happy face as always, Steve replies:

It was me.

Cedric's blood boils again as he shouts

It was you? then how can you act like nothing has happened?

Well, I don't see anything wrong with it. Thus, I don't even know what all this anger is about.

Does your mind work properly?

Cedric asks with a straight and expressionless face which gets a reply with the same reaction from Steve:

Yes, it works fine. And as I said earlier I don't understand what is wrong with it.

So let me explain what is wrong.

As Steve was sitting down on Sofa he said

All right, I will hear all the details.

Cedric also sat on the sofa in front of Steve then poured some tea and started explaining:

First of all, how are we supposed to just meet tomorrow and then start dating before a week passes?

That is simple. She will arrive at the local hospital today. All you have to do is find work or get yourself injured so that you meet her there.

Cedric looks at Steve with a dumbfounded expression and asks

I can figure that much but the problem is how are we going to start suddenly dating without people not getting suspicious of us?

Steve starts to think for a while and then answers:

You can just say that you were lovers before and want to get back together.

Cedric takes a deep breath and lifts his head and sees the happy face of Steve, then he says:

Steve, have you ever dated before?

No, why?

No wonder you don't understand this stuff well.

With a confused expression, Steve looks at Cedric and then Cedric continues talking:

If I had to put it in simpler terms most of the time people who have broken up never end up together again.

I see

Says Steve as he puts his hand under his chin and after a while of thinking he suddenly lifts his head and says:

I know, you guys can say that you were friends in college and after some meetings, you can easily start your pretend date.

Cedric with a complex expression and a deep sigh.

You enjoy doing this right.

Yes, why do you think I got this job?

Steve answers with a bright smile.

Okay, I will see what I can do about it.

Also don't forget you have only one week.

I know, now go so that I can think of a solution.

Okay, have a nice day.

Steve goes back to his room while waving his hand as Cedric looks at him with displease.

Ahh, how should I solve this situation? For now, let's see her profile once again.

Cedric starts reading the files and information about Nebula

Let's see. Nebula there seems to be no code name. She is from the medical unit. This is quite odd. Why is there no photo of her?

Cedric goes to the door that connects with Steve's room and knocks.

Steve you there?

After a while, Steve comes out and with a happy smile asks.

What is it now? Have you figured out a way?

Cedric with a heavy sigh says:

No, I haven't, but I was wondering why there is no picture of her in the profile.

Ah, that is simple. Because she is from the medical team. Thus, their rules and regulations are different and independent from other special units.

I see, so how can I recognize her when I see her?

Oh, I think I forgot to tell you.

Steve answers with a relaxed tone Cedric's face turns gloomy hearing Steve talk like that knowing there is something important he didn't tell him on purpose.

What is it?

Cedric wipes his face with his hand as he asked

It is about your meeting with Agent Nebula. It will be held tonight. I will also go there with you and Agent Nebula will also be there with her supervisor. During this time, we will also discuss your meeting and every aspect of your mission. Also, about how you will meet and get acquainted with her.

I see, then why did you make so much trouble for me?

Steve makes a devilish smile and winks as he replies:

Sorry, it seems I may have forgotten to tell you about it.

Sigh, do you enjoy doing this?

Steve makes a confused expression and tilts his head sideways

Doing what? What do you mean?

nothing, forget about it.

I see, maybe you are just imagining things.

Cedric held his anger and with a serious expression and a forced smile said:

I see, so when is the time for the meeting?

I will tell you when the time comes.

What if I have to do something at the time? Shouldn't I know in prior so that I can arrange my schedule?

Steve pats Cedric's shoulder and with a smiley expression says:

Don't worry about it. You will know about it in time.

I see, okay then I will meet you later.

Okay goodbye for now.

Goodbye, don't bother me until then.

Why? Is my presence bothering you?

Yes, very much so.

Ah, that hurts my heart.

Steve said that while tightly holding his chest and leaning on the wall.

Enough with the acting. See you later.

Okay, goodbye. See you later.
