“I wonder, why do I do it?” A bright smile lit up on his face, and he leaned back in the chair, his eyes were still focused on the woman before him. “I am not confident without a base. If you wonder.” He trailed off, not bullshitting about it for a change of breath. He had his back-up and he had his insurance that no leakage of information will harm his company, nor his personal project that was hidden in the basement, in a way where no one could find it. “Oh, and I won’t blackmail you, if you wonder. No my style. I just know nothing will happen to Obliviate.”
Damian let out a sigh and reached to ruffle at his already messed up hair. Sure, the building looked rundown, but that didn’t mean it really was like it. He spent an insane amount of money to just keep the rundown exterior, but fix the building so it would be workable. The rooms were heated, isolated, the labs were soundproof and even if there were no cameras observing the labs themselves, there were tons of cameras around, so no one could get in or out of them unnoticed. “Prove them.” He spoke out, reaching to take his phone out and started fumbling with its options. “The building is well equipped, that I can prove pretty easily. For instance, this room…” he made a small pause as he tapped twice with his finger on his phone’s screen. “like all the other rooms in the building, except my lab, has hologram screen projector.” His eyes looked over at the female and a confident smirk stretched over the male’s lips. Soon the panels of the attached ceiling moved and a glass screen fell down, a bluish light lit right towards it and the image of his lab downstairs was visible. “I made it for when I would need to screen announcements. It’s Japanese technology, still not widely spread. But it’s cool, isn’t it?” he asked her, then again swiped with his finger over the screen of his phone and the displayed image changed to one of the offices upstairs, to the gym salon, to the cafeteria, then back to his lab. “There are a lot of things hidden like this, I don’t plan to tell you each and every one of them, now that would be stupid of me, especially since I am planning on realizing a grand scale project, so it’s only normal that I would want to hide the company.” he lied with no remorse, or without even wavering. He was hiding the company because of his own supercomputer hidden in the basement, and because he yearned to upgrade it, and thanks to the project he had at mind, that would be possible. “Personal file project. The government has a lot of data on us, and there is something similar in every aspect. Healthcare, welfare, education, bank accounts, pension funds, personal data information, like where you live, your birth parents, the hospital you were born. There is data like that scattered all over, and you can access it whenever, but it takes time. I want to gather it all in one place and make it easy to be accessed. I still need to make a few meetings and talk a few old men into it, but this is what I want to partake in. I can’t afford just being obvious about it.” The hacker tapped his phone against his leg, letting silence settle in for a bit, then used it to get the glass screen back. “Obliviate is supported by a certain anonymous sponsor, so there is also the fact that we have vast resources. The building looks rundown, but it does not need to stay like it if the employees-to-be don’t like it and want to remodel it.” He shrugged his shoulders again, nonchalantly, something that made him look relaxed and uncaring. He looked as if he didn’t mind if the woman just stood up and left and never came back, but truth be told he needed someone like her, someone with her vision and her abilities. “Do I need more to impress you, cause I can keep going, but I would also feel like you are just playing me around. If by this point you are still stubborn to say no, then… well I would hate to admit I was wrong, but both of us are busy, so why waste more time? So? Which is it: yes or no?”
