It's been exactly two weeks since Marcella had started living the double life.
In the morning she was the TECH girl in the sub-level of Zeus Communications and in the afternoon she would work at the secret facility hidden well on the top floor of Seven Ks across the city. She could hardly believe it's been two months already.
It's been exactly two weeks ever since she gave Agust D her two cents about what they should do regarding the Dragon Ring main base in Daegu and he was still not doing anything about it. They had one week tops before the first patient would have to go through surgery and unwillingly donate his organs to the black market. She was getting anxious.
On the other hand the absence of a certain Bangtan OG made her life so much easier. She much preferred taking orders from Taehyung than Suga. Although she did have to work for Agust D from time to time, she usually worked under Namjoon's supervision. She had minimal contact with him.
The days passed in a blur of activity. He was infiltrating the Dragon Ring main base in Daegu all by himself and she couldn't help both admire and fear for him. He was quick on his feet and very skillful taking only reasonable risks that bore results. He liked the mission focused Suga. He was easy person to communicate with when he was on mission, even taking direct orders from her whenever she saw danger in the surveillance cameras.
Well surviving being exposed wasn't exactly taking orders from her but she would take what she could get right now.
Taehyung taking over Seoul was the best thing that could happen in her opinion. Suga's absence meant that Marcella had minimal contact with him, which was a relief.
She was doing great in Zeus Communications as well. Maybe it had to do with the fact that the pay was way better. Her once potential father in law knew exactly how skilful she was and he re-offered her the best spot in the TECH department. Marci refused choosing to remain at the top of the food-chain in the sub-level IT department instead.
They thought is was humility. It wasn't, it was strategy.
She chose to stay there so she could run her programs and do the experiments she wanted unbothered. No one went down there to check on her and she had access to all the main floors in the building. She had everything she could ever want or need.
Yet there were some difficulties among the rainbow and unicorns. Even though she felt really good in the beginning, slowly but steadily she had found the the tiresome routine was catching up with her. She felt tired and dazed at all times, her house was a mess, she could barely remember when was the last time she had a thorough clean up, and her nerves were on overdrive since she was practically living off of caffeine and protein bars.
