Chapter 3 Gym

I went to the gym department, and after having a brief exercise, Lydia came to call me.

" Miss Agent, " she called, " Johnson request to see you."

" Is there a problem? " I asked.

" No, not at all. " She said, waving a smile at me.

I hope there really isn't a problem.

We both entered Mrs Johnson's office, she was with a male on a blue tuxedo.

I couldn't get what they were actually talking about because I was a bit far from them.

And they had to reduce their voices the moment Lydia and I entered.

He had a brown afro hair cut with a brown clear eyes. His nose was nicely pointed with transparent glasses he was putting on.

And he doesn't look like he was coming for registration into the organization, no he doesn't look in anyway like one.

Probably, he might be here for business. Wait, is that why I'm being called?

Definitely not, either.

After they had finished discussing, they had a handshake before he left the office.

" Mrs Johnson, you called me. " I said, standing at attention.

" Yes, Miss Agent." She looked at Lydia, " Can you get the girls ready for practice? I'm kinda busy right now and I won't be able to help out. "

" Yes ma'am. " She left.

" Please have a seat. " She ushered me to sit on one of the chairs across hers. " You saw the man who just left my office few minutes ago, right? "

" Yes, ma'am. "

" He's from the Ford Motor Company and they work with us, you know, especially when we needed a new car for the hunt. "

" I understand, ma'am. "

" I've heard a lot about your family, they're the most famous hunters in San Diego. And I'm really sorry not to have noticed who you are the very day you walked in. I know you still aren't familiar with Chicago but I want you to do me this favour, you're the only one I can trust for this. "

" Anything ma'am. "

" Someone from the Ford company will be coming here by 8am tomorrow morning to pick you up. You'll be meeting with the owner of the company, but before then I might have been done with the documents you're meant to give to him. I would have loved Lydia to do this, but I also heard you've learnt a bit of what we teach here so, that's why I'm choosing you for this. "

" We need a new brand for the hunt, we've heard there are new faster motors that are as fast as the wolves. So, such kind is needed for the organization. Can you do that for me? "

" Yes, ma'am, I can. " I said, nodding. " But..." I paused.

" What is it? "

" Is he aware that I am the one coming? " I asked.

I wouldn't want a situation whereby I get humiliated all because I was sent for some kinda business stuffs.

I truly don't trust company owners, they're too prideful and arrogant for my liking.

" Yes, that is just what I had discussed with the man. I'm pretty sure he will inform his boss before night. "

I nodded.

" Emma will get some clothes and shoes for you, all you have to do is to get ready. Get an early sleep, you'll be in my office before 7am. Understood? "

" Yes, ma'am. "

I turned to leave when her voice stopped me. " And... I'll prefer if you just call me Mrs Johnson. "

" I'll take my correction. " I exited her office back to my room.

The girls were all at the training room, while I'm sitting my ass on my bed.

I never knew dad was such a talk active and he never did told me he was close to the Chicago under cover agents.

No wonder why he desperately wanted me into the organization, because he knew what they are.

Few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I stood up to check who it was.

From the center hole on the door, I could see a young lady standing with some clothes in her hands and two new shoes on them.

I opened the door, "You're Miss Agent, right? "

" Yes, I am. " I replied.

" Mrs Johnson said I should give you these. "

I took the clothes and shoes from her, " thank you. " I said. " Do I have to wear the heels? I'm really not good with them. "

" You can spend the rest of your day and night walking on them, I pretty sure you'll master it before tomorrow. " She shrugged. " Heels are more preferable when you've got an official meeting with a CEO and not flat shoes. Well, gotta go. By the way have a good trip to Ford. "

" Thanks. " I shut the door close, heels... I hate heels, and the worst part of it is that it's not just a medium heel, it's those kinds when you're going out on a date.

I did as Emma said, I need to practice on the heels or else I'll be getting myself humiliated before everyone.

The thousand attempts I made were all failure until I could notice the muscle of my legs paining me.

I dropped the shoes aside, but my eyes didn't let go. If I've got any chance to learn this, it's now.

Or else if Lina has to return, I might get some little distracted.

" Ashley, you need to learn this. It's your only chance. " I said to myself.

I took the shoes from where I dropped it, fixing it on. I stood up, walking gently with it like I was just practicing how to walk for the first time.

I was holding things for support while I walked to the door and back to my bed over and over again.

You really need to see me on this, I look like an hilarious girl on heels.

" Calm down, " I took a deep breath and out.

I didn't want to hold anything this time, so I spread my hand wide about to make my first step when the door opened.

" No... " I twisted my ankle and fell, landing hard with my butt. Staring at the surprised lady in front, who was fighting the urge to laugh. " Fine, you caught me. "

" Ashley, what the heck are you doing with those heels. " She pointed out.

I shushed her, her voice was too loud to reach Mrs Johnson's office. " Sshh, lower your voice. " She helped me stand to my feet. " It's a long story, Lina, but I've got to learn how to walk with these. "

" Oh, now I see why you're sweating like a chased cat. Look, you don't walk normally on shoes like this. "

" I don't understand, how am I supposed to walk then? " I asked, confused.

" Like a cat, sweetheart. You've seen cats walk right? "

"Yes? "

" Then you have to walk like them or else, you'll keep falling even if you have to train for centuries to come. "

" Can you show me? " I took off the shoes giving it to her.

She walked exactly as a cat walks from the door to my bed and back to the door.

" I've been killing myself for a long time. But you know, that looks a lot difficult. "

" Not as difficult as twisting an ankle over and over again. Try it. " She gave it back to me and I tried my possible best to catwalk with it.

I know I won't have my early night sleep without learning this.

Oh, I'm doomed for tomorrow ...
