One Wild Night

He had arrived at the company very early that morning after he received a call from Melinda Miller, the previous night, giving him the job of finding out all he could about the CEO of I-Global. The first thing he did when he arrived at the company that morning was talk to the cleaners, since they were the ones who had access into the offices that no one else could get into.

It was from one of the cleaners that he had learned that the CEO\'s office had a private elevator through which he came in and left unnoticed. Watching the young man as he got into the elevator now, there was nothing about him that looked like he was a CEO. Although he was handsome, but he didn\'t look like what one would expect of such a well respected CEO that liked to stay hidden. The person before him was wearing an earring and his hair had been dyed... These weren\'t the sort of things that a person who didn\'t want to be known would do, the private investigator reasoned as he looked through the photos he had just captured.

He was sure whoever had gone into the office was very close to the CEO, and likely had a meeting with the CEO. He decided that he was just going to wait there until the CEO came, or the person returned. Perhaps if he could tail this person, as well as the vice president of the company who he had heard, was the CEO\'s right-hand man, he would be able to find the CEO, and once he knew what the CEO looked like, tailing him and finding out all he could about him would be easy peasy.

Meanwhile, by the time Tom stepped inside his office, Harry was already there waiting for him, "Good morning boss," Harry greeted without standing up from his seat or looking up from the game he was playing on his phone.

"What time are we leaving for the meeting?" Tom asked as he headed directly inside his mini bedroom and straight to the close to change out of the clothes he was wearing into something more formal for the meeting.

"The meeting was scheduled for 10 AM, so we should be leaving by 9," Harry informed him as he raised his head to look at Tom and followed his movement with his eyes, "So, how did your weekend go? And how is it going with the charming lady?" Harry asked curiously before returning his attention to the game he had been playing.

"You won\'t believe that Anita was trying to matchmake me with Lucy. We all went out to see a movie," Tom called out from the closet, making Harry chuckle.

"You\'ve got to be kidding me," Harry said as he dropped his phone on the desk, and stood up, "What happened?" He asked as he stood by the door of the bedroom.

Tom quickly recapped all that happened at the Cinema between the three of them, and by the time he was done Harry was howling with laughter, "Well, you asked for all of this when you decided to do something crazy," Harry said unapologetically.

"Did I tell you that Lucy happens to be the best friend of my brother\'s fiancee?" Tom asked as he adjusted the wig on his head, and Harry\'s mouth dropped open in disbelief.

"That can\'t be right!"

"But it is," Tom assured him as he checked the mirror to be sure the wig was in place before picking up the mustache and beards.

"How long have you known about this? How did you find out? Is she aware?" Harry asked curiously and waited patiently for Tom to finish fixing his mustache and beard so that he could answer him. Harry listened attentively as Tom explained it all to him.

"Wow! At this point I\'m no longer sure that all of this is mere coincidence," Harry said thoughtfully.

"I know, right? I think Lucy is the one for me. And that reminds me, she is dating me now... Although temporarily," Tom confided with a grin.

"So soon? Maybe I should start taking dating lessons from you? What should I do first, go get a makeover? Piercings?" Harry asked with a slight frown, and Tom chuckled.

"Start by helping me hide my girlfriend\'s car," Tom said as he threw the key at Harry who quickly caught it.

"Why am I hiding it?" Harry asked curiously as he looked at the key.

"I told her I was going for a job and she wanted me to take the car. Just keep it somewhere she won\'t find it until we are back from the meeting," Tom instructed him, and Harry gave him a nod.

"She must like you already to be offering you her car, when less than a week ago she had been trying to get you fired," Harry said in amazement as he turned to leave the office.

"I hope so. Have you been able to find anything on Jade\'s witness?" Tom asked before Harry could get to the door.

Harry turned around to look at him, "I was wondering if I could get Jade\'s contact number? I need to ask her a couple of questions," Harry explained.

"Sure. I will just ask her to give you a call," Tom said as he stepped out of the mini bedroom. He cleared his throat and spread his arms as he looked at Harry "So, how do I look?" He asked in a broad voice that was different from his.

"Exactly like the weird CEO everyone thinks you are. Maybe you should spend some time working on that voice," Harry said before walking away.

Once he walked out of Tom\'s office, he stopped by Lucy\'s desk when he saw her arranging some files on her desk, "Good morning Miss Perry," he greeted with a straight face.

"Good morning sir," Lucy stood up as she greeted him.

"How was your weekend? I hope you did some sightseeing?" He asked, looking at her with interest as he thought of the best way to mess with her that morning. What better way to bond with his best friend\'s love interest, than this?

"It was fine. I was indoor for most of the time," Lucy said with a polite smile. It seemed to her like Mr. Harry was fond of asking her questions that automatically made her want to tell him lies.

"That is nice. About your driver, I have found a replacement for him. Ask him to meet me..."

"What replacement?" Lucy asked, interrupting him.

"You asked me to get you another driver the last time, didn\'t you? I\'ve gotten someone else to take over from him, so ask him to meet me in my office," Harry said, making Lucy\'s brow pull together in a frown.

"I thought the CEO said..."

"I know what the CEO said, but you don\'t have to worry about it, I will handle it. Ask your driver to meet me, okay?" Harry said, wanting to see if she would want to let go of her boyfriend now.

Lucy frowned. Although this was what she had wanted a while ago, but things were different between them now, and she didn\'t want it anymore. She was okay with him being her driver, and he also needed to keep working for her as that was the only way he could have the liberty he needed to handle his personal business.

"Thank you for your help sir, but I don\'t need a new driver anymore," Lucy called out politely before Harry could leave the office.

"Why? You are scared that you might lose your job?" Harry asked curiously, and Lucy shook her head.

"No sir. It\'s just that I\'m beginning to get along with him now," Lucy said politely.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked with a slightly raised brow, and she gave him a nod.

"Let me know if you change your mind," Harry said before walking away to do what Tom had directed him to do.
