    " Hello, Itachi, " Neji greeted, talking into his mouthpiece. " I suppose you have some new information, don't you? "

On the other side, Itachi nodded. 
   " Yeah Neji. Her past is very shady, and we had a lot to dig up, mainly in the brothels. Momoko is a girl with an extremely dark background. But I'm curious, Neji. Are you sure you never met her before? "

    " No I haven't. Why? Is there something wrong? "

     "  Neji, she used to work at Hyuga Corporations. "

Neji frowned, his brain desperately searching for the person named Momoko. 
   " What is her maiden name? I'll search for her in the employee directory. "

    " It's Yoshioka. But Neji, she used a different name when she worked under Hyuga Corporations. Her real name  Megumi Ikeda. Well, I'll send you all the information that we found."

He stiffened after hearing Momoko's real name. Megumi Ikeda was a name that he didn't want to hear again, ever.
A moment later, his computer beeped, indicating that he had received an email. 

    " Yeah, I've received it, thanks Itachi."

Neji quickly clicked on the email, and he was brought to a complete profile about Megumi Ikeda. 

BIRTH NAME : Megumi Ikeda
CURRENT NAME : Momoko Takahashi neé Yoshioka
AGE : 25
STATUS : Alive
MARITAL STATUS: Married 
SPOUSE : Congressman Takahashi Tomozo 

Following that was numerous records, mainly from plastic surgery clinics, and some were from night clubs. 

Note : I discovered that she used to work in a prostitutional brothel. And that name Momoko? She got it thanks to her hair. She was quite famous there, and she met Tomozo in that place. Not a surprise, we all know that the Congressman is not the most righteous guy. 

A gravely expression formed on Neji's face. He thought he had heard the last of Megumi Ikeda when he fired her from the company seven years ago. But he was wrong.
Now Megumi returned, with a whole new identity, and a whole new look. And the timing was just too good to be a coincidence. 
Neji compared the photos of Megumi before and after her plastic surgery. Nothing in Momoko resembled Megumi, but there was something that any type of surgery could not change.
The dull glint of greed and envy in Megumi's eyes remained, even though she had changed everything. The bitterness and dissatisfaction was engraved in her soul, and it was likely to remain there forever.
Exhaling loudly, Neji closed Megumi's profile, not wanting to look at her face any longer. He glanced back at his paperwork, and that was when he found a small red envelope slipped into one of his files.

Seeing the hearts and ribbons on the envelope, he did not have any desire to look at the contents of it. 
However, there was the possibility that it could be an important message under the unnecessary cheesiness. Sighing to himself, he opened the envelope, finding a little pink note inside.
The writing was in neat cursive, and pleasant to the eyes. But when Neji saw the name of the sender, he dropped the note immediately.

He pressed his intercom button, calling in his assistant. "How did this note end up on my table? " he yelled.

    " It was sent here from Iwa, Neji-sama. And the messenger said it was important, " the assistant spoke.
     " Send this back to whoever that sent it! And don't ever receive anything again from them, " Neji said, flicking away the paper and envelope from him.
His assistant quickly picked it up with her bony bracelet clad hands. 

After she exited the office, she grumbled to herself loudly. 
    " Ugh, what is he making such a big deal out of? "
She glanced at the note, and curiosity quickly overtook her.
     " Let's see, I wonder what made him so angry.. "
