***** Vol.4 Chap.31 More lies *****

“Hello, JB.” It was Johan, and he was in a good mood.

“You seem to be in a good mood today? Any breakthrough?”

“I just came from a meeting with the upper management. They felt that we are very, very close to being able to announce our product to the public.” He said that with all smiles on his face.

“Your dosage estimation program worked perfectly. We were able to gauge the aggressiveness of test subjects and administer the correct dosage of the calming pill to help them return to normal. The upper administration was very impressed regarding this progress.”

JB still had a puzzle look on her face.

“Are you sad that your consulting is coming to an end?”

She kept silence.

“Don’t worry. We plan to put you in a lecture circuit around the world.”

Upon hearing that, she perked up slightly

“I was sad what I heard about Qetidghe in South Africa…”

“Terrible, utterly terrible.”

“What happened? Does PPTSB have anything to do with the incident?”

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Sit down. Let me tell you the entire story.”

Johan told her that PPTSB knew about the other group who called themselves the Global Liberators (GL). PPTSB had planted a few spies there and had learned that they intended to wreak havoc on the entire society. Their mode of operation was through aggressive intimidation. They demanded. When their demands were not met, they would exhibit aggressive behavior towards their enemies.

He continued to tell her that lately, the company found out that the GL were manufacturing a pill reddish in color. The company was trying to get a hold of a sample pill but was unsuccessful. How the GL discovered and manufactured the red pill was still a closely guarded secret and our spies were not able to find out.

He said the upper management decided not to wait till they could obtain a red pill. So independently, the company developed the blue pill. Before last week, we were not sure if the dosage in the blue pill was sufficient to counteract the effects of the red pill.

Through our spies, we bought off the captain of the attacking gang to distribute the blue pills to the warriors unbeknownst to the GL. We were delighted that the blue pills indeed were strong enough to counter the effects of the red pills. Now we know that we have a fighting chance against them.

JB was gobbling up the makeup story.

Johan continued. “Our spies informed us that the GL are about to embark on a global strike against all governments once they have stockpiled sufficient quantity of the red pills. In the meantime, we are also trying to stockpile the blue pills. If the GL go public with the red pills threatening any government, we will be ready to counter their claims. At that time, we intend to send you to tell the entire world about the effectiveness of the blue pill.”

With this little talk, her former doubts had all but vanished.

She was completely snowed by the talk. She saw herself traveling by private jet, crisscrossing the world enlightening the top government officials with the invention. Surely, fame and glory would follow.

She could almost taste the Nobel Prize.

Johan stood up.

“I need to get a few more dataset for you to do. I will get back to you soon.”

JB still sat there dazed, with glory and fame glistening in her eyes.

“OK, bye”

She mumbled, still basking in her own dreams of glory.
