Believe and Suspicious

I was confused to hear his answer. Looks like the division head is taking care of... administration? I don't know, I didn't think of anything about that.

“Means this is indeed the duty of the division head, huh? That's why you as an assistant aren't too attached to it,” I muttered.

Wait, doesn't the assistant always help the head of any division in his service? Well, not all, anyway. But I don't know at all about the company's current work program.

“You didn't get hurt or anything after the accident that time, right?” ask Jack wonder. I was surprised to hear it. “I'm fine, nothing has changed.”

“By the way, you are very familiar with the division head. You used to sit there?” sanku.

Jack laughed and patted his head. He put a chair in front of him.

“Sini sitting in front of me,” he said. I followed her words by sitting there. He was still giggling never to end.

“Hahaha, my stomach hurts. Introduce, Head of Sky and Space Technology Research Division, Jack Furiend,”, he said.

Ah.. It is only fitting that the division head does not come. Turns—

“Eeehhh…? K—You're the division head now?”

How surprised I am. It feels like my heart is almost out of the way. I didn't expect it at all, Jack had no background in the field. But what it includes.

“Cekrek!”

“Hahaha! Your face is very slick, I have to save it for mementos,” Jack said while holding his smartphone. I blushed and got annoyed at him. “Stop! H—Remove that photo!”

Again he took a picture of my face that held the shame half-dead. I can only cover my face with my own hands. It was embarrassing even though he was a close friend of mine.

“Sorry I haven't noticed it since..”.

“No problem, I was expecting it too,” replied.

“Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?” lontark.

“Slight entertainment doesn't hurt. I'm very amused, thank you, Malka!”

Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm down. Jack is still looking at his phone. I'm pretty sure he was looking at my picture.

It was unexpected, somehow it never occurred to me about him. Division Heads about the sky, it's not as easy as one might think. I know very well that he is busy with all the commotion that occurs.

Wait, if it's like that, he should have taken care of this investigation, right? But, I remember very well that Jack said that he did not interfere much in the business.

“You also participated in that task?”

“No, I mean Knox Corp. I am not good at making decisions and conclusions. It could even be a misunderstanding, hehe..”.

I remember the conversation like that. Not good at making decisions, but why instead served as the division head? All I know is the division head position is the top position directly below Knox and Harry. There's no way that statement would fit his current position, right?

“Means you're the real major player in this investigation?” manya suspect. Jack put down the phone. The atmosphere was silent, we became serious.

“You could say so. Hmm. It seems like I lied to you before. That's one persuasive technique, right?” abugn.

“I appreciate your technique. You can really pull me up to this second. So, what do you really want from me?” my reply.

“I just run my errands. I will do to solve this problem,” he replied. He doesn't look like the Jack I knew before.

“Oh, so this is what is meant by stabbing a friend from behind?” my many.

“More precisely someone who gave a knife to his friend from behind.”

Huh huh? Whatdoes thatmean? I still don't understand his mind. The figure I had a hard time guessing, turned out to be quite terrible.

Suddenly he got out of his seat. Walk slowly around the table.

“Malka Syahnivir, are you ready for interrogation?” ask Jack.

It stopped beside me. I faced him too.

“Alright if that's what you want. As per your advice at that time, I will answer honestly. Just be careful if you twist the facts,” I said.

“It seems I don't need to ask much, please tell me everything you know, brother Malka Syahnivir.”

“Alright, I received all the information you gave me,” Jack said.

“There's something you want to ask? I will always be ready,” reply me.

“Before flying, what have you consumed a few days back?”

Pretty strange question. I don't even remember what I ate. For sure I only eat regular food and drinks.

“What do you do before flying?” continued.

Huh huh? Wait, sec. Wasn't I always with him even the last moments before entering the airport terminal? I don't think about the question.

“I was in the office, when there was my farewell party. After that I was with someone named Jack, he also drove me to the airport,” I replied.

He just fell silent while twirling the pen with his finger.

“Looks like you are not good at making decisions and conclusions,” I said with a smile.

“Huft... Malka Syahnivir, allegedly one of the sky activist members, Synnefa. Was I wrong,” he said spontaneously.

Eh? He knew about me all this time? Relax, Malka. Don't get cornered.

“Have you run out of your street card?” my reply.

He stretched his hand out in front of me.

“Welcome back to Centra, Malka. Now you have an insider,” she smiled.

“So all this is just..”

“I just want to play with you. Turns out you're still like the Malka I know. I will never be able to surpass you,” he replied.

I breathed a sigh of relief. It was quite exhausting after going through such a serious conversation. Well, I'm just answering honestly, anyway.

“Since the beginning you pretended not to be aware of my position now. Actually I still want to play like that with you, but it's all beyond what I thought,”.

“Really, I didn't realize it. But I've been suspicious of you since the beginning,”.

“Means all this you've planned too, right?” ask Jack.

“Is this still part of his interrogation?” my continue.

“You didn't answer? If so I will consider it ‘iya’.”

“If you ask like that, you should already know the answer,” reply.

“It's nice to play with you,”.

Talks ceased. I sat down on that soft office chair. Jack is busy with his work. Looks like he was making a report on my interrogation just now.

“Need help?” my many.

“Sort out all your plans. I'll help you put a knife behind you,” he replied. I approached him and took the empty documents.

“Aren't you curious about my plan?” my continue.

“I'm sure you won't trust me completely,” replied Jack.

“I trust you as a friend, but I don't trust you as an employee at my main enemy headquarters,” I reply.

“Then, as a friend, I assume that plan is your privacy. As a friend, you can call anytime. I'll help as I can.”

“For now I just need information. You just need to act as an employee of this company.”

“Alright, we agree,” he said while shaking hands with me.

“Happy working with you, friend.”
