Chapter 163 A Clue (2/2)
Kyle began to describe the email, and time of it being sent. He needed Kay to retrieve its contents without alerting the other party that it had been diverted or opened.
[I think it's best to monitor all his calls and emails from now on] Kyle said with a sigh [I have a feeling this is perhaps the start of everything]
Before this, there had been no movement that was unusual or untoward in the company. Kyle would go through the reports every week but there was nothing out of the ordinary. The constant monitoring for the past 12 years was very tedious and taxing. It was monotonous work and it was easy to lose focus or have important data to be missed.
He couldn't even use AI to filter everything for he did not know what sort of 'keywords' he could programme the AI to use. Hence, it was left to human intervention and judgment. It was worse then being in a factory line, doing the same mechanical work as this type of monotonous work required some form of brain power.
With this clue however, they could start focusing on something more concrete. There was a light at the end of the tunnel.
”Let's do something fun. Just the two of us,” Kay said to Kyle with a smile, ”It's been quite some time since twin time.”
Kay knew the amount of stress Kyle was under, which he hid most of the time. However, there was a crack that appeared due to him looking through his past memories which involved his kids. Kay didn't want Kyle to suffer some sort of mental breakdown, so some sort of diversion activity was needed.
Kyle smiled as he nodded, continuing to eat. He decided to pack the fried rice and pass it to Xing Han later that night. He's always up for a midnight snack.
Just the other day, Xing Han had been mumbling in his sleep about food, even getting up halfway giving an order for some braised ribs. Kyle grinned at that memory, for he had been jolted awake by Xing Han shouting, ”One order of braised ribs! Hurry!”
He saw Xing Han sitting up, one hand in the air and then lying back down, smacking his lips. Kyle teased Xing Han about it the next day but he denied such a thing ever happened.
”How about going to Gym5? Then our favourite cafe,” Kyle suggested.
Kay grinned, ”You just want to see the twins, don't you? Or should I say, you just want to tease them, right?”
Kyle's smile was even brighter then, making those who saw it nearly faint, ”Nothing beats the stress more than scaling walls ... and chasing after the twins.”
”You do know that they're also hitting on you now, right?” Kay said with an eyebrow raised.
Kyle smirked, while licking his lips and said, ”Oh ... I think I should reward them once in a while for all their hard work, don't you think?”
Kay looked at him with wide eyes, ”You're not seriously going to ... oh, Kyle. That's so mean.”
”No, it's not,” Kyle protested, taking a bit out of the burger. After swallowing, he said, ”It's just harmless flirting.”
”You're going to break some hearts, brother,” Kay said with a snort.
”Nah,” Kyle said, ”You know I wouldn't play with people's feelings. How about this? Our usual thing: twin competition.”
”What sort will it be this time?” Kay asked curiously.
”First, we tell them what we're doing so that they don't get the wrong idea,” Kyle said, laying out his plan.
”And what is it that we'll be doing?” Kay asked, rolling her eyes. Kyle really liked to drag things out.
”See which one of us can flirt the best or the fastest,” Kyle said, ”All they need to do is resist our charm.”
Kay's mouth twitched.
”You're right. This does sound like fun,” Kay replied.
”Do you think they'll be up to it?” Kyle asked.
”Those two? They'll probably be fighting over who will last the longest!”
Kay and Kyle linked their pinkies together, the usual sign they did when they agreed on having a twin competition.
[You do remember that part of my training was on seduction, right?] Kay asked.
[Of course. It wouldn't be fun otherwise. You need to practice anyway]
[Hah. I've got this. Prepare to pay] Kay said confidently.
