A seamstress discreetly recorded the entire scene from among the crowd and sent the video straight to Louis' inbox.
Two hours later at Onley Group, Louis sat at his desk, skimming through his emails. The moment he opened the video, his expression darkened. With a flick of his wrist, the ashtray on his desk shattered against the floor.
"Simon!" His voice was sharp with fury. "Has he completely lost his mind?"
From the plush leather couch, a woman lazily lifted her gaze.
"So, that was your grand plan?" Her tone dripped with sarcasm. "You thought using that idiot to go after Prosper Stitch Group was a good idea? Honestly, Louis, I didn't think you could be this stupid."
"Audrey." Louis' voice carried a warning.
But she simply stood up, unfazed. "Janice had known exactly what you were doing from the very start. She never bothered to take you or Onley Group seriously."
"Get out!" Louis bellowed.
"I was planning to. Ms. Smith has a meeting with the new seamstresses this afternoon, after all."
She was the one who had secretly recorded the video. Audrey Carrington was Louis' undercover agent inside Prosper Stitch Group. She joined them under the pretense of being one of the newly recruited seamstresses.
…
Back at the Double-Sided Crochet Department of Prosper Stitch Grip, Audrey walked in with an undeniably seductive air. Even though she had been working here for less than two weeks, she showed up every day in stilettos.
It was clear that she didn't fit in, and the other seamstresses kept their distance.
Not that she cared. After all, she wasn't here to make friends; she was here to spy.
Louis planted her in Prosper Stitch Group to dig up information. What new products were they launching? Where were they exporting? Who were their business partners?
Every detail mattered.
But after more than half a month, she had learned nothing.
