After Rebecca went inside, I went upstairs. My spy-vibes clothes were overlapped by something more formal as my acting also seemed to be required either way.
I looked around as I climbed the stairs 'hmm…what a luxurious place.'
The place was undeniably fancy looking. This Lucien guy must be rich rich to have this kind of place as his own.
After a torturous time of walking through floors and floors; "Finally… I have reached…" I mumbled, breathless. My stamina really needed some training but at the end of the day, I hate the stairs than my regret for having weak stamina.
I straighten myself and fixed my hair and hoped my makeup was fine otherwise it would ruin the entire disguise, before walking towards the path where the door should be.
Only after a few moments on walking; "Stop. Show us you're ID." A guard of that room which is the office of that Lucien guy stopped me.
I simply nodded and showed him ID, which was a fake one that Miss Lucy gave me.
The guards examined my ID and glanced at me to make sure it was me. 'Please please please. I am begging the heavens that my disguise isn't ruined.' Though that was my thoughts my face calm, talk about fake nonchalance.
The guard handed me my ID back and nodded. I nodded as I went to the office 'I am saved!' I couldn't help but be happy from the inside as I just passed that
I looked around and noticed there wasn't a single guard at the place near the office. It seems that this bastard didn't like that for some reason.
I walked till I reached the office door and oh no… there was a password on this. I sighed as I took out the ear piece that I had stuffed in my pocket I really had wished I didn't had to use it, it seemed pretty annoying to have that on my ear despite it being something like an air pod.
I placed it on my ear and tapped it twice. "Seems like you finally used it." Miss lucy's voice could be heard on the other side.
I rolled my eyes. "Yes yes, I do hope you know why I had to use it." I replied back but it was more of a whisper.
"Of course I do, you need the password? It's '5708'" that's all? Not like I am complaining. "Thanks." I took off the ear piece and stuffed it back in my pocket before I putted the password on the lock.
'…holy shit, this place is big, I guess I need to find the files fast.'
I frowned as I realized I needed to use the ear piece again.
"I knew that you had to use it again!" Miss Lucy's voice could be heard as soon as I putted the ear piece on my ear.
"Ha ha ha. How funny, just tell me where the files are. I know that you did all the research needed, Miss Lucy."
"Bingo! Either way, I have a feeling it would on the drawer but it's like very hidden type. You know, a drawer inside a drawer type shit?"
My frown deepened at that. "Yeah and its going to be annoying."
I could hear her sigh from the other side. "Of course it will be. Now get searching."
"Yes yes…" I replied before taking the ear piece off again.
'Rebecca sure is stalling time nicely, I wonder what she's doing."

'I hate this, I hate this.' Rebecca was internally cursing her entire life and life choices with the most lady like face.
"You seem quite tired. Is there something worrying you, dear?" Lucien asked her and she replied with a smile.
"Oh nothing much, it's quite tiring to be at a banquet without any company but it's not like I c-"
"Would you like me to company you?" Lucien asked, more like interrupted her.
'Fuck you, fuck you. Die, you jerk.' As Rebecca was swearing at Lucien from her mind, her façade just seemed thoughtful as she nodded.
"That would be wonderful, to have the host of this fabulous banquet company me. What did I do to deserve such honor?" Rebecca replied and Lucien couldn't help but smile.
"It's more like my honor to company such pretty lady." He sure is a flirty guy.
'Did this man such try to flirt? Oh well, as long as Hina can get those files. I want to leave so badly.' Rebecca was only focusing on trying to stall time. [1]
Rebecca chuckled "You flatter me."
"I do no flattery, only compliments."
'Holy shit! This guy is going to rizz me up for real now.'
Rebecca just smiled to response and the banter went on as she continued to suffer.
'Hina! Please finish this fast!' If only Hina could hear her plea.
* * *
'She's probably fine.' I thought as I continued to click the pictures of the files. A copy would be better but I don't want to use this guy's printer either way.
After a few moments (it took her 2 whole minutes to finish clicking the pictures of that file.) I finished taking the pictures and placed the files back to the position.
'Gloves are annoying to wear.' I thought as I took off the coat, the spy vibes-clothes were pretty easy to hide.
The pants seemed elegant and formal enough, same for the top. All I had to do was wear a coat on top of it.
I opened the window and checked if anyone was there and once I saw that the coast was clear…I jumped off.
It was honestly terrifying to do that but Miss Lucy's training came handy as I landed without any broken bones and quietly left the place.
I clicked my bracelet as it would buzz slightly on Rebecca's. I wonder where Miss Lucy found these connected ones. I should buy one myself and Ayame,
* * *
Buzz.
Rebecca felt a slight vibration on her wrist. It seems like it's time to go.
She glanced at Lucien who was casually drinking wine as she was eating some of the snacks type dishes.
"Well, if you excuse me. It seems like I need to leave." Rebecca politely said as Lucien sighed. "Is that so? How sad. I hope you come to my other banquets."
She nodded though her thoughts were the opposite. 'Fuck no. I hate your ass for some reason that I, myself don't know.'
Rebecca casually left the banquet hall and the moment the door closed behind her she sighed in relief.
"Oh gosh… I forgot how hard it was to be all nice and lady like."
She looked around before leaving the place and meet up with Hina.
