"Alright, Reed, please bring that woman to my office tomorrow morning. I really need a hand right now."
"Alright, I'll come tomorrow morning with her. I already briefed her about this, and she looked so happy since she could finally get the position as the main secretary, haha!" Reed chuckled, full of mirth.
But Clarke didn't sound too excited. In fact, he was worried about this young female secretary in her early twenties. Something that could be a huge fight between him and Gaius.
He felt bad that he had to hide this from Gaius, but his wife's jealousy was sometimes uncalled for. He always thought that Clarke had something with those young women.
So he wanted to brief his brother first, ensuring him that he wouldn't spoil anything to Gaius. Clarke had no way to finish everything alone at this point.
"Uh… Reed, I need you to hide this, okay?"
"Huh? What hide? What do you mean, brother?"
"I want you to hide the identity of that secretary from Gaius. Because she's too young and presumably beautiful too, right? My wife will get extremely jealous," Clarke told the truth about the situation. He had no secret for his brother, thinking that Reed was his last relative that he needed to keep safe.
Reed chuckled as he hung up the call and then stared at the wallpaper of his phone. It was the picture of him with the Gaist family, minus Clarke. He stared at the for a long time before asking himself, "Why am I putting this stupid picture as my wallpaper anyway?"
He didn't know either, but the photo was really nice to look at. It gave him a sense of security.
Yeah, it was ridiculous for him that something like this gave him a sense of security. He was Reed Ville, the richest man in this city and probably in the country as well.
He was also strong, extremely strong that he could handle Superbman to fight toe to toe without breaking a sweat.
Yet, he found it rather interesting that his brother actually made such a good family on earth, complete with a loving wife and two children.
Maybe it was also his desire to have a family as well…
Yeah, a family, just like in this wallpaper, a loving family with two children who looked so happy just playing in the water park and a loving and simple wife who would take care of him and cook for him. He didn't need grandeur stuff. He had it. He had everything except for a family…
"A simple and loving wife…." Reed mumbled as he stared at Gaius on the picture.
Gaius was already 37 years old. He wasn't young anymore compared to Reed, who was still 33, and Clarke, 35.
Yet, his beauty never depleted. It was true that he got mature, but it made him naturally a charming mature man.
He was so lovely to see. Reed wouldn't try to deny that fact.
"A simple and loving wife…."
An idea formed in his head, and it was more of an impulse. But Reed shook his head immediately to dispel that stupid idea.

"Anyway, I've just found out that Gaius is the jealous type, heh, funny," Reed scoffed. He saw that Gaius was very trusting to Clarke, but that didn't mean trust couldn't falter. Besides, since Clarke said that Gaius was the jealous type, it'd be even better for him.
Because he could use this for his own advantage.
"Clarke had unknowingly given me information about Gaius. What an idiot," Reed scoffed once more and then called the 'secretary.'
"Mystica, come in," Reed said. Not long after that, the girl called Mystica came in and bowed her head.
"Master, do you need me to do anything?"
Reed showed the picture of Gaius and said, "Change your face into the female version of this man."
Mystica stared at Gaius's picture and nodded. She closed her eyes and transformed into the female version of Gaius, "Done, Master."
"How beautiful…" Reed mumbled. He didn't know that Gaius could look beautiful if he was a female, not that it mattered, though, since Reed didn't have a specific preference for a lover.
"Master, do you want me to…."
"No, I don't need you to do that. There is the real person anyway, and he's still more interesting, more than just his appearance," Reed denied. He told Mystica about her new job, "I just want you to come with me tomorrow to my brother's office and start working there as a secretary."
"Understood, Master. What task do you want me to do?"
"Try to seduce him, Clarke Gaist. It's even better if you can make him sleep with you. I need a picture of his infidelity as well," Reed briefed her.
"Okay, Master. I wonder what you would do with the picture of his infidelity? He's your brother, right?"
"I have my own game to play, interesting game at least. Stop asking questions and leave now."
"Yes, Master, understood," Mystica bowed her head and walked away, still with a female version of Gaius.
Reed stared at her back until she reached the door, and then he suddenly told her, "Don't use that face for now. Only use it when you're working with Clarke tomorrow morning."
"… Yes, Master."
Mystica turned her face to a random female face before she left the room, she didn't understand why would Master Reed Ville would get so bothered with it, but it wasn't her right to ask a question.
Master's order was absolute, and no unimportant question should be asked.
Meanwhile, Reed also didn't understand what caused him to stop Mystica from using Gaius' face outside of the mission to seduce Clarke.
It was like an instinct for Reed, yet, he didn't know what kind of instinct he had. He didn't even like Gaius.
"Ah, whatever. My initial goal is to ruin Clarke, after all. There's no use of caring about small fries like Gaius."
