In My Desperate Time

“Corporate spy?” I stare at him, feeling difficult to digest the news.

I don’t think I can take this huge responsibility.

“I am sure, but I don't know who it is yet. Our company's new product to be launched next month was brought to market early by the rival company. The design and materials are the same as ours, so there must be an inside spy. And, it must be in the design department. Because the design department has the first-hand knowledge of the design.”

Steven Song's expression is very serious, which makes me understand the seriousness of this matter.

But I don’t think I can take this huge responsibility.

“I have never met this before. Will I be murdered if the spy finds out that I am investigating on it?”

The thought of scenes from the old TV series makes my scalp tingled.

“You think too much. All you have to do is try your best to pay more attention, I'll do the dangerous things.” He taps me on the shoulder as a sign to relax.

But I am so nervous.

“Why me? I know nothing, and I am not familiar with other co-workers.”

“Because in this company, you are the only one I trust.”

His sincere eyes make me feel that he really believes in me.

He's the second friend I can confide in, besides Mindy Sue. He has helped me a lot since I met him.

I value friends, not because he is my boss, I should help him as a friend.

“All right. I will help You. But I can’t guarantee that I will find out who it is.”

On my way out of Steven Song's office, I bump into his new assistant.
