"I found him — Fazio!" I shouted, waving my precious hands to Hart, expecting him to be amazed. Like a person who just won a game Lotto, he jumped up and came to meet me.

"What? Where? How? When? Are you sure about all those?" He asked, looking so excited.

"He is presently in Anah Darreh. Fortunately, it is near where we are. " I smiled as I said.

"This place surely has a lot of names. That's good. Let's start by visiting him tomorrow." He replied.

"Sure, I really want to leave this place. So frustrating!" I shouted. I knew everything would surely work out no matter the circumstance, but there was something I was not sure about — how those things would work out. We booked the same room as we knew we had to work throughout the day.

"Sir, if we get to meet Fazio, what exactly will we tell him? I mean, who exactly will we tell him we are? I did not want to say anything in the first place, but I am really curious about the whole situation. " I said to him.

"Well, if we meet Fazio, we are going to test him. We are going to know if he is the Miami book company's real CEO or he just had something to do with the company. In that case, what we are going to do is to strike a deal with him. In order to catch your enemy, know your enemy's weakness. To know your enemy's weakness, you must make friends with him. Since we can not make friends with Fazio, the best we can do is to strike a deal with him. " Hart explained.

"That is quite nice. But, what kind of deal will we strike with him?" I asked.

"By noon tomorrow, Fazio is expecting a guest couple. We are going to go there as the couple and distract the original couples by eliminating them. "

"What? Sir, you speak much like a villain right now. Eliminate them? You mean, kill them?" I asked, showing emotions of curiousity.

"Of course not. We can not kill for money. What we have to do is to lead them to another way. That way, we can be able to access Fazio. " He explained.

"Sir, how do you know that Fazio will be receiving a guest?"

"It was really a surprise that he had to move from Italy to Afghanistan. I thought about it so much before coming here. And I found out that he came here to meet those couples. In actual fact, Mr Mike is also here but in Anah Darreh. " I was shocked by his response. I wondered what Mike wanted again to the extent that he had to follow us down there. "He is my informant. I am expecting a call from him, he has to tell me everything about those couples and how they are related to Fazio. Mr Mike sure is really trustworthy. " Hart replied.

"I see. " I replied as I laid down on the bed.

"Secretary Mesa, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked bluntly. I was strangely scared. My heart began to beat faster than normal.

Thump!

Thump!

"What? What do you mean sir?" I asked trying not to look at him. I wondered what he was trying to say by that time. He only asked me out once, the next day, he behaved like he did not. But now, after a month, he is trying to get me.

"I guess you do not have, you are always busy. I have given you enough time, what is your reply?" He asked in a solemn manner.

"Reply? What reply? I did not remember telling you I will give you any reply. " I said pretending that I did not understand what he was trying to say.

"I told you to date me the other day, what is your take on this issue?" He asked.

"Sir, I told you that I am not interested. I have a lot of things on my plate, I can not date. And again, I do not think I will be able to be a good girlfriend. " I said. Even though I liked him, I would say I loved playing hard to get. It had already been in my blood since decades. No matter how I liked such guy, it would take at least three attempts before I could accept the proposal.

"Good girlfriend? You do not have to be. Just be with me. That's all. As long as you do that, I believe everything will be fine. I am good at training girls to be good girlfriends. I want you to worry less. Okay? Just date me. If you do not like me, then dump me. " He stated as he stared at me seductively.

"You go back on your words most of the times. It's not like I don't want to date you. Tomorrow, you may do like nothing had happened. Due to that, I do not want to put myself into something that is highly risky for my health. Boss, I do not want to be an additional problem to you. You are already going through a lot, do not let me add to your problem. What is the purpose of me being your girlfriend when I can not even make you happy." I explained even though I partially meant all what I said.

"Do you know why I kept you as my secretary for so long? Because you are normal. " He said.

"What a damn useless reason! What kind of girl try to accept that type of reason?" I thought.

"So, sir, in one sentence, you love me because I am normal. If I stop being normal, I believe you will stop loving me. Everyone is normal. How am I different? You do not even have a strong reason for liking me. I can not believe you. " I shouted because I was pissed off.
