Chapter 8 Karma strikes

• Mason's POV
• Yeah ok I was being a dick.
• But I don't care.
• It was better this way.
• I needed to make it clear we were still enemies.
• Well not really enemies but we did still hate each other.
• Also I needed to make sure she wouldn't suspect me of doing anything considering her job.
• First of all it was clear as day that what I was doing was illegal and I could go to prison for hacking into their documents.
• Especially since her boss was an asshole for smaller things.
• And if he ever finds out what I did he would make sure I pay for everything.
• And I had a suspicion my consequences would be far worse than they were for Rachel and every woman that was in that company before her.
• So back to the topic at hand.
• It was really important that no one knew about what I was doing.
• Also I didn't want her to think I developed any feelings towards her and that it was the reason behind my secret operation.
• Damn it,. That sounds so lame.
• Let's find a better name for my operation as I call it.
• Operation clean name?
• Nah, not cool enough.
• Hmm, maybe dirty deeds.
• Yes!
• That is the one.
• It's not too obvious but it still makes sense to me.
• So back to dirty deeds.
• I accomplished what I needed, deleting those letters and writing new ones, and also successfully hid any trace of me being on their server.
• Now I was thinking what else could I do.
• I had an idea but I needed to be really careful because I didn't want Rachel to find out what I did.
• Ah to hell with it.
• The sooner she gets a job sooner she will move out and I could have my peace and quiet back.
• So I did probably the stupidest thing I ever did in my life.
• I hacked her computer.
• Oh shut up!
• Sure I did it for myself but I also helped her out in the process so it wasn't so bad.
• So as I was saying beforeI had to point out the obvious.
• I hacked into her computer, to my defense, I didn't touch any private files.
• I only looked for her CV,which wasn't hard to find, since it was right on the desktop.
• I quickly copied it to my desktop and left her computer.
• I had everything I needed.
• So I started searching.
• I knew she was looking for an apartment nearby.
• So I searched for every company that wasn't more than half an hour away by subway or car.
• When I narrowed down my choices I looked for those that were looking for a secretary or anything similar.
• I didn't even look at what companies I selected.
• It was only important they checked all the criteriums,
• I checked all the companies that were suitable and wrote a quick introduction message.
• I put her CV and my recommendation letter into it as well and hit send.
• I made sure to send it from her mail though because I think it would be a bit tricky to explain how I got an email with information about her job interview.
• I was waiting for the confirmation email, so I would be sure all the companies received the letter when a ping was heard from the living room.
• Which meant, Rachel left her laptop in the living room.
• But it also meant I only had a few seconds to log out of her mail or I would be in deep shit.
• Thank God I was hacking and coding for living.
• I typed quickly and managed to disconnect our computers in only seconds.
• I think it was a record even for me.
• A few seconds later someone knocked on my door.
• I stood up and opened the door.
• "How can I help you Rachel?"
• She looked at me with an annoyed expression.
• I know I should put more effort into getting along but what for? Soon she would be gone and the end.
• "Didn't you tell me you won't be a prick today? You just gave me another reason to never believe a male specimen."
• I rolled my eyes at her dramatic behaviour.
• "Is this why you interrupted me?"
• Now it was her turn to roll her eyes.
• "No Sherlock. I wanted to ask you, what is the name of the company where you work?"
• All my senses were on high alert at her question.
• I had a bad feeling about this.
• Is it possible for karma to hit you back in a few minutes?
• "Code hack. But why is this information important?"
• She gave me a huge smile, but it wasn't kind.
• It was full of evil promises.
• "Guess what roomie. I have an interview tomorrow. In Code hack. Wish me luck."
• She turned around and went into her room, and I was standing there like a piece of stone, trying to process her words.
• See guys?
• Told you I had a bad feeling.
• Because I wasn't paying attention I sent the mail to the one recipient I used most often.
• And that was my company's mail.
• Now she is going to an interview in my company tomorrow.
• and since I knew my boss, I also knew he would like Rachel and she would be hired on the spot,
• Especially with the recommendation letter I wrote her.
• So yes, I was fucked.
