CHAPTER 3:
Seto has always been at the side of his cousin. He had helped him in all he could and it seemed that Yami was very grateful with him because he always was doing what Seto said to him. He wasn't sure that his 'obedience' was because of all he had done for him or because Seto was older than him and he had to do all he said.
Both way, he was living an excellent life, and he was trying that it stay in that way for a very long time. He and Yami were very riches men and a little more of money didn't affect much. That is why he pushed Yami into a daily work in a very popular magazine. The salary wasn't very bad for him. Besides he has to have Yami occupied in something so he could not suspect anything about his real business. Seto had an advantage: that Yami trust in all ways in him and didn't question him in anything. That was very good for him.
-So Richard, what do you think?-said Seto broking the thoughts that had emerged in him while he was looking Yami do his job.
-Well, I had to say that he is very gifted in his work...
-And more than that-continue Seto- he is very intelligent and creative. His ideas are very useful in hard times.
-I see... I think we have an opportunity we can't discard.
-Exactly... so, there will be a contract or no?
-We have yet to discuss some points of the contract I prefer discuss in private. Why don't we go to the office while they finish-said Richard taking a glance to Jim and Yami.
-It's alright with me-he then looked to Yami- Hey, cousin. I will be waiting for you at the meeting room. Ok?
-All right.- said Yami focusing again in the photos
-Jim, when you finish, guide him to change and into the meeting room, is that clear?
-Yeah boss, as you said.
Anzu has been there all the time seeing the photo session. She had yet to make-up the other models, most of them girls, but she wanted to stay there a little bit longer.
-Hey, you girl! When are you make-up me??
Anzu looked around and saw Mai staring at her scornfully. She always had detested her in all ways. She was very arrogant with her and always mocked her about her status in the society.
-It's not your turn yet…-replied Anzu returning her look in the new guy.
-What? You insolent girl. Wait when I inform the boss about it! I'm going to make that he dismiss you like a dog.
She detested when Mai threatened her in that way, like she was the owner of this.
-Anzu! Come on here!!-said Jim loudly for her to hear.
-Yes? - said Anzu walking in his direction and living Mai talking alone.
-Take Yami to change and clean him off the make-up. And call Mai. I have to take the photos I didn't take yesterday. Ok?
-But, she isn't make-up yet...
-What? Then, what were you doing all the time?
Yami arrived to hear part of the conversation she was having with Jim and he could tell that no one notice Anzu standing there except for him. The girl was in trouble and he didn't know, again, why he was going to help her.
-Mmm... Well...-said Anzu. She could not think about an excuse right in the moment, her mind was clean.
-Hnmp-said Yami clearing his throat- I saw her attending a call over there-he said signaling a desk with a phone and sheets all over there- by her face I could tell it was very important, right?
-Is that true?-asked Jim turning around to face her once more.
Anzu looked to Yami who send her an accomplice stare, she nodded.
-Yes. I was talking to my mother; it seems that occurred something in my house-Anzu almost bit her lip by saying this. She hoped that he believed it.
-Ok. Then guide Yami to the room and then go make up Mai. I don't have time to waste. Now!
-Yes Jim.-she said while motioning Yami to follow.
In the north part of the city was a great house which has all kind of adornment made in wood and pottery by all places. In the entrance was a big garden with a fountain in the middle and a lot of trees, a car parking and a kennel which has three dogs. All trained to be alert to any movement and very aggressive. Also they were very obedient with their masters. Entering in the house was a giant lounge and a stair that went to the second and third floor. There were a lot of rooms and corridors, and it was easy to get lost. In the house lived Seto, Yami, Seto's father or Gozaburo, his brother Mokuba and three servants that maintained the mansion cleaned.
Inside one of the rooms in the third floor was a man with black hair and green eyes; he was young and was working on the computer. His name was Duke Devling and he was the counter of the family and best friend of Yami, besides of Joey. He was doing the half yearly inform of the finances, he had to present to Gozaburo tomorrow in the afternoon.
-Ohh, this is so long… my hands hurts, if the family didn't had so much money I would have finished a good while ago…- said Duke while he rubbed his neck and back.
-I had to finish this today so I have time to sleep all tomorrow morning…
When he was finishing…
-Wait a minute… what's this? - said Duke while clicking in a part of the sheet he saw an irregularity.
-"The money has been decreasing the last two years it seems"...-he thought while opening many archives of the last five years. The more he opened files of past years more he was realizing that there was money missing and mostly Yami's money.
-I can't believe this; Yami's money had diminished in a forty five percent, Gozaburo's only five percent… what's happening here? I don't understand. – He continues looking through the files and then came to a conclusion.
-Someone is stealing money by the last eight years! The exact time Yami started to work as a model and started gaining lot's of money. Almost all the money that is lost belongs to him, but who could do that and for what. I had to find out but first I had to put Yami in a warning. Both of us should investigate.
Duke stood up of the chair and turn out the computer, then, went directly to the first floor to call Yami immediately.
