"are you nervous?"
"no?..."
"then why is your foot tapping like that? and you're fiddling with your fingers
and-"
"jesus, stop watching me. alright, i'm a little nervous."

jeno smiled a small smile, hoping that it would reassure the girl a little. and it did. she stopped tapping her foot and picking at the skin around her fingernails momentarily.

the marble floor echoed and multiplied the hushed sounds of their whispers, fragmented mummurs of the plan ricocheting of the smooth walls.

footsteps tapped down the corridor and they figured that he was was close.
"hm, are you the two who booked an appointment but wouldn't say what for?"

"uhm, yeah i guess."
heloise answered, as entailed in the plan, shaking the boy's out stretched hand.

"follow me to my office then." he turned and walked along the corridor to a room partitioned off by a clear glass wall.

the two were confused for a second, why did he have a work office in his house? but they didn't ask aloud.

he lead them down a few corridors, past a bunch of glass walls, and soon the style of the building changed. it no longer felt like a big enterprise building, but a house.

"is your office this far away?"
"no, im not taking you to my office," he laughed gently, "it's so boring and there's nothing to boast about in there. i just saw that so that bora won't suspect anything."
the girl made an o noise, unsure of whether to laugh along or to just stay quiet.

"anyhow welcome to my humble, actually not humble, that's an insult to my house, to my extravagant abode. as the first and only heir to soleil enterprises, i make it my duty to be rich and live a fantastic life. or whatever it was my dad said i should say to be who book to see me." 

"how rich are you? it seems to be your whole personality." 
heloise hissed lowly at jeno's interjection. there was a strict plan to follow and he was already going off topic.

"me? wealth can't be measured in a number. let's just say i have enough money for three generations of my family to never have to work again. this whole department of the enterprise, the haechan unit, belongs to me and all the rooms on this floor are mine too."
"so would you be swayed by a large amount of money?"
"swayed as in bribed? possibly, but it'd have to be somewhere in the billions for me to even consider leaving my bed."

donghyuck chuckled at him and jeno laughed quietly, amazed at how arrogant the boy was. out of the corner of his eye, jeno could see heloise shifting from side to side trying to get him to stop asking these questions. but it was better to get to the point than to make small talk. 

"so would you be interested in criminal activity?"
