Gigi POV

It was already 9 pm when we left the hotel where we are lodged, the hotel is about 30 minutes drive away from the territory of the Black Emerald Pack.

We wanted to lodge within the pack's territory, but all the hotels in that area were owned by werewolves, and we didn't want to risk making our identity known too early.

Clifford drive us to the headquarters of the Black Properties Incorporated. It is a gargantuan complex on a large expands of land I can't guess the size.

"Look at what Kate and Melissa own, but they are living like the lower class people in the Full Moon Pack."

"That is why we are here. To get back what belongs to them." Clifford responded.

I nodded my head as we approach the entrance gate. "Clients?" The middle ages security asked bending to look into the car.

We looked at each other and didn't know what to say. After a few seconds of silence, Clifford answered, "Yes, Clients."

To support Clifford, I chipped in, "Me and my husband, we just moved into this area newly and we need to buy a property if we can afford one."

"We have great offers that suits every class of people. Park over there and come this way, this is the reception." The man said point the places to us with his hand.

"Thank you." Clifford said and veered off to the place the man asked us to park the car.

"We are supposed to be seeking for a job here not buying property." I mindlinked Clifford.

"What if they don't need more workers. The security already see us as prospective clients so let's play along." He responded.

I nodded my head.

Clifford parked the car and said, "Let the mission start." We both got out of the car. With our plan changed, we left the CVs we have prepared in the car and went to the reception as instructed.

After entering the large entrance hall we walk up to the front desk and introduce ourselves to the blonde sitting professionally behind a marble desk.

The reception look clean and professional with pictures of houses hanging on the walls.

"Hi, our name's are Mr and Mrs Trelawney and -" Clifford speak but get cut off.

"Oh yes, you are one of our clients? Please take a seat over there whilst I inform Mr Gavin of your arrival." She was back to typing on her computer before we could mutter a quick "Thank you," as we moved over to the empty seats.

We were wondering who is Mr Gavin.

We were lost in thought, looking at the magazines on the table in front of us, when the desk lady calls to us. "Mr Gavin will see you now. Take the lift up to floor 2 and take a seat outside room 20. Good Luck" She smiles a breathtaking smile at us and we return it with an uneasy one of our own. I can't help but be nervous but now all I'm thinking is whether or not all the people who work here are werewolves and we can trust our tricks to hide our identity?

I step into the lift after Clifford and He press the 2nd button before looking at my reflection in one of the four mirrored walls. I think I look okay.. Except for the fact that we are now clients rather than applicants, I look rather like someone going to the office rather than someone that want to buy a house.

"We can't worry about that now." Clifford said, "They will think we are rich billionaires that's all." There is a ping and the overhead voice says "Floor 2". We wait for the doors to open and step out into a circular room with a desk and sofas in the middle and ten doors each with a chair outside them around the edge.

We found room number 20 and sit in the comfy chair outside, we sat there in silence waiting to e attended to. When I hear a door open to my left my head snaps up to see a tall, buff man in a navy suit smiling down at me, or at us to be appropriate. Clifford quickly stand up and I followed suit as they shake hands "Hello, I'm Mr Trelawney and this is my wife Mrs Trelawney, its a pleasure to meet you." I wonder where Clifford coined that name from.

The man, who must be Mr Gavin, replies, "The pleasure is all mine, Mr and Mrs Trelawney." He gestures inside. "Please, come in. You can call me Gavin, I am sure Miss Gabriela must have told you that. We have different packages that meets the taste of everyone." Gavin talks without having a break.

He takes his seat behind the desk and gestures for us to sit down. "Please make yourselves comfortable."

He offered us a pamphlet each with the locations and prizes of the available houses.

Clifford kept pointing at the biggest mansions he could lay his eyes on, Mr. Gavin kept saying that location is no longer available and I begin to understand the game Clifford was trying to play with the man.

We knew that Black Emerald Properties is bankrupt, but the werewolves have been keeping the organization running to protect the pride of their pack, and ultimately their pack from appearing weak on the outside.

When Mr. Gavin seem to get tired of Clifford's scorning, he said. "To be sincere Mr. Trelawney, we don't have many houses in the market, we are struggling to keep the business running."

"Do you need investors to boost back the business?" Clifford asked.
