Unscented-Chapter 1207 - 1149

Adonis Fun had closed for the day. He walked out of the company’s building.

"Adonis Fun!" a familiar voice called him from behind before he could complete three paces.

He turned around and find Sawyer leaning by the entrance.

"I think you have brought your money, the one you owe me" he went back to him.

"The problem is this, if anyone is supposed to give anything. You should be giving me something instead" he stared at Adonis Fun like they were not on good terms.

"Give you another, after you refused to pay for the one I gave you" he smiled. "I’m not sure I’m the one you are waiting for" he shook his head in sarcasm.

"It is just disheartening that someone like you will expect me to pay for a junk like that from someone like you" Sawyer berated him.

"You are badmouthing the content now?" Adonis Fun couldn’t help but laugh. " But you said no one can get their hands on what I could give" he scoffed.

"Exactly. That is what I want from you. You gave us crumbs and brought the bread to Fun entertainment" he used an analogy.

"What do you expect? That I will give you everything and do not reserve anyone for the company I work for? I don’t think you want to say this" Adonis Fun walked out on him.

"What if I pay double?" Sawyer asked loudly for him to hear.

"I don’t want your double" he waved his hand at Sawyer and continued walking away.

Adonis chuckled. Sawyer was still thinking high of himself whereas he had been demoted in their relationship.

Adonis checked his wristwatch. He had a meeting in the next twenty minutes.

A lady had agreed to say some things she knew about Murray.

Adonis Fun wished she would have evidence to back up her story. He would need that badly. His senior editor and director were afraid to publish what could land the company in trouble.

Adonis Fun arrived at the booth where they were supposed to meet. It didn’t take him long before he identified her. She put on a hood which covered a whole part of her face and was looking around fugitively.

"You don’t trust me?" Adonis Fun walked slowly to her side.

"Are you here alone?" she asked in response.

"I didn’t come with the crew maybe you can show your face and tell me your name. That’s only for the record. I won’t make it public" he requested.

"I thought we already agreed on ’no name’?" she scolded him.

"No problem, anonymous source" Adonis Fun joked. "What about getting a drink in that bar?" he sighed.

"We are not on a date" he handed him an envelope. She started walking away immediately as Adonis Fun took it from her.

"Wait, I may have questions" he tried to stall her but she didn’t respond.

She kept walking on without looking back.

Adonis Fun lost her in the crowd not long after. He dipped his hand in the large envelope. There were pictures inside it. There were some notes too.

He brought it out. They were pictures of Murray with an unknown lady. He quickly put it back in and started walking away.

His phone rang.

He reached for it in his pocket and answered the call.

"It’s the team" the voice said. "Let’s meet at the diner" he told him.

Adonis Fun smiled. This was another opportunity to make money from the envelope in his hand. He would give them the notes. But the pictures will be used personally by him.

He headed for the diner and met the team except Sawyer.

"Where is Sawyer?" he asked before taking his seat.

"I think he is pissed at you" one of the members of the team replied quickly.

"Yes, I met him and he claimed he wanted more news. And now he is nowhere to be found" Adonis Fun snorted and brought out the notes from the envelope.

"He said you are only giving us bread crumbs while you take the real news" another member chuckled.

"And I guess he is tired of it. But we haven’t had our fill" another one joked.

"This is all about Murray. They are far better than the one I gave you last time and these cost me more than those" he explained, he wanted them to expect a higher cost.

"We don’t care about irrelevance. The news you gave us back then. We made sales through it. So we will pay you what you want" the member cut him short.

"Just let the price be reasonable" another one added

"Ten grands each" he groaned.

The members of the team looked at each other for some minutes. Adonis Fun felt skeptical, he thought maybe he had raised the cost too high.

"We will pay that, no problem" the members started paying him one after the other. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The next day. Adonis was the first to arrive at his workplace. He waited for the director to arrive at his office.

He knew that once the director had been convinced. The senior editor wouldn’t be a problem anymore.

Few minutes later. The director came in.

Adonis Fun dropped the envelope on his desk as he wanted to sit down.

"This must be about Murray" the director guessed right. He grabbed the large envelope and tried to bring out the content.

"Pictures?" his countenance changed as he touched them.

"Yeah" Adonis Fun nodded.

"Is this not going too far?" it seemed the director was still afraid of what might happen if everything went sideways.

"No. It is fair if it is true right and pictures don’t lie" he commented.

"Pictures do lie, nowadays. Apart from the fact that they tell thousands of ambiguous stories" he brought out the pictures.

He was surprised to see the pictures. Murray was in a controversial position with the lady. He was fondling and they both seem to be having a good time.

"Are you sure this isn’t on set?" the director asked as he stared closely at the pictures.

"Murray is not an actor and I don’t think the lady is" Adonis Fun clarified.
