Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir

Chapter 8

Felix opened the door to the CEO office and met Kimber Kim.

Kimber Kim was on the couch with a laptop on his laps and it seemed like he was just surfing the net.

As soon as he saw Felix's face, Kimber Kim's face brightened up as he dropped the laptop on the couch and stood up.

"Hey Felix, how is my boy doing?" The old man beamed.

"Am good dad," Felix smiled. Kimber Kim signalled him to sit beside him on the couch and he did so.

After settling down, Kimber Kim thoughtfully asked, "So which department are you going to work in?"

" Just want to intern in the finance department of the company."

"That will be better, you need to stay undercover to avoid taking unnecessary risks."

" Yeah, dad. So, I will officially begin it today?" Felix asked.

" Yes son. But... Be careful Felix," Kimber Kim said, caring like a father.

Felix smiled seeing the look in his eyes. "I got that dad. So, I will get going." Kimber Kim nodded.

Felix left his office and went to the accounting department.

He ignored the questioning stares he received from the other workers. They didn't matter to him anyway.

He sat down on his seat and began going through some documents on his desk.

Few minutes later...

"Gosh, I wonder what that manager of ours in always coming to do here."

" Exactly, he's always checking on us and using it as an excuse to go through files."

"Maybe he's checking how far we are going through this project."

The murmurs from the ladies in the departments were getting too much and Felix could not help but raise his head to see who it was that came in.

Surprisingly, it was Fred in their department and it seemed like he was searching for something.

Felix could not help but frown seeing his sneaky behavior. Even his eyes carried an unusual scrutiny. Why does it seems like he is looking for something? And why acting weird?

After a while, Fred left. That was when the murmurs increased the more. Felix saw a female worker by his side and quickly called for her attention.

"Hello, miss," he called.

The lady, who was chatting with her fellow friend frowned and turned back. "What?"

"Sorry to disturb you, but... You said something like he always comes here?"

The lady perked up immediately, " oh, yeah. You see, the manager keeps coming here frequently to check some documents and all... So he says!" She exclaimed the last part.

Felix's frown deepened. Why would Fred visit the finance department often? Is there any hidden agenda? Besides, the normal Fred would have created a fuss when he saw Felix and start insulting him but he didn't even notice Felix at all.

These questions ran into Felix mind as he concluded to round up his work sooner and report it to his father.

...

"Hey, son. Is anything the matter?" Kimber Kim asked the moment Felix entered his office. He even noticed Felix looked tense with his walking steps.

"Dad, I found something unusual and suspicious."

" Really? Tell me, what's it?" Kimber Kim creased his brows.

"It's the manager, Fred Meyer. From what I gathered, he always goes into the finance department, looking at the files on workers desks and in the cupboard."

Kimber Kim looked surprised and confused at the same time. "That doesn't make any sense. What is he looking for there?"

"Dad, we need to keep an eye on him, we don't know his motive," Felix said.

"Exactly. You never can tell what he's after." Kimber Kim nodded.

"Alright dad," Felix said as he left the office.

It was already time for lunch so naturally, the financial department was empty. Felix wanted to turn back since the office was empty but he halted.

He sensed something going on and his fears became confirmed when he heard a some sounds from the inner room of the department where confidential files were kept.

He went there and saw that the door was ajar. He opened the door and saw some files on the floor.

He glanced round the room and saw they no one was there, so he strolled round silently. Almost immediately, he saw Fred ransacking through the shelves and tossing some files to the floor.

Felix decided to hide behind one of the shelves and not give him a hint that someone was watching him.

When Fred was done, he put some files into the bag in his hands and was about leaving when he suddenly heard a deep voice behind him.

"Hey," Kimber Kim called and he jolted in surprise.

Felix already informed his father about it as he brought some guards with him.

Fred was shaking, he didn't expect to be caught at that time and wondered how he was caught. How did he know he would be here? Was he informed? By who?

Felix was watching the scenario in the office where he was, sitting down and pretending to be working.

His face paled in dismay at the thought that he was caught stealing the company's important files.

Fred composed his posture and turned back with a smiling face.

"Good day sir," He bowed his head as Kimber Kim scoffed.

"Mr Meyer, I don't think this is the Manager's office, or is it?" Kimber Kim smirked. "Besides, what's in there?" Kimber Kim asked, pointing to the bag Fred was clutching.

"Um..... Sir, you mean this? it's nothing much... it's just a departmental project sir," Fred replied nervously, putting on a normal face even though his hands where shaking.

"Is that so, Mr Meyer? that's good. You can... Go." Kimber Kim freed him, not moving his gaze from his eyes.

Fred walked out, avoiding Kimber Kim's piercing and intimidating gaze. He only managed to reach the doorstep when...

" One moment Fred." Kimber Kim voice mqde him halt.

He turned back. "Any problem sir?"

"No, I just wanna go through your department's work... If you don't mind."

Fred's heart sank immediately hearing those words. He was shivering in silence and confused on what to say.

"Sir, but it is strictly confidential, when the project is done....." Kimber Kim cut him off immediately..
