Early Bird (Erkençi Kus)(Part 1)

42. Just set it free

"You must have worked all night."

Aylin nods next to Terif, the evaluator for her company. They were going through the garden in the front of the two storey building.

"Your agency is small, but it has everything we need." He smiles and points at the garden. "Plus, this garden is just beautiful."

"Thank you." Aylin takes a breath. "Please rest assured that you can leave it all to us."

"I have no doubts but we still need to tally up the other 4 agencies, they're just as important." Aylin nods. "Mr Fabri and Mrs Mine will be announcing the winner at a small party he plans on having tomorrow afternoon. You and your team are invited as well."

"Of course we will be there."

"See you tomorrow then."

"See you." They shake hands and Terif leaves with his assistant.

Aylin sighs with a small smile as she watches them. "Bring me a coffee Tusa."

"Yes Miss Aylin."

Aylin walks to the outdoor meeting table and sits, taking out her phone and texting Emre -
'Everything went well, turns out that my small agency has certain advantages'

'Well done. Don't worry about this side of things. Soon it will all be upside down' - Emre

Aylin bites her lip, smiling at the message.

With his team in front of him, Can explains everything he had planned for Nova Fiore's campaign as Sanem listened on the above floor, looking down at him. Midway through, she receives a text from Ayhan, telling her she was almost there.

Before she can answer, Emre walks up to her side and whispers, "So? What do you have planned?"

"Don't worry. I'm on top of it," she replies, looking down at Can again.

Emre nods and then shakes his head at Can. "Just look at him, all of this...theatrics...just for a client."
Can was busy gesturing animatedly towards the board behind him.

"And if he gets the client, the company's value rises and he can sell," Sanem says, her eyes still on Can. "Right?"

"Exactly. Everyone here will be jobless." Sanem purses her lips. "Sanem, are you sure you did enough to make sure we don't get a high score? Because if you're not, you need to tell me so I can find another way."

"I told you not to worry. Leave it to me." She looks at him, taken aback.  She shakes her head and walks away then, not wanting to be around any of the Divits.

"Ayhan, where are you?" Sanem whispered as she walked through the parking garage.

Ayhan texted her again just as she was about to have some tea and she had to leave it to come and meet her.

"Ayhan!" She peeks around a pillar, then moves to the other side of it.

"Oh God, this is so creepy..."

"I can hear you."

"I can hear you too."

Sanem frowns and moves around the next pillar. Ayhan was just on the other side of it, but with both of them facing the other way, they back into one another and Ayhan drops the box in her hands while Sanem gasps, her hand on her chest.

"Ayhan!"

"Sanem!" Ayhan gasps in return and then spots the moving box on the ground. "The thing's going to get away!" she yelps before bending to pick it up.
