"Here's the advance payment(预期款) of 10,000 dollars. You will get the other half when we get those papers," the agent told Mike. "But sir, Mr. Smith has been very suspicious (怀疑) since last week," Mike replied.

    Mike was a clerk in a large company. A few years ago he started to get very worried because it was very hard for him to support his family. He wanted to give his child an excellent education and a bright future, but the future looked rather hopeless.

    One day some agents called him. They were his company's competitors. At first he refused their offers. But when he thought his dream could come true, he agreed to their offers and began giving them information.

   However, his spy work started to get more and more difficult because his owner had become suspicious, since a lot of important information was leaking out.

   One night when Mike was on one of his spying tasks, he met Alim, the night watchman." What are you doing here, Mike?" shouted Alim.

  "Oh, I had just forgotten some documents here, Alim, "Mike replied, trying to look comfortable." I just came to get them."

    "Is that true?" Alim said." We’ll see what Mr. Smith says."

    Alim called Mr. Smith and told him to come right away. Mr. Smith looked at Mike and said. "So you are the thief! I believed in you, Mike."

   "Call the police, Alim. We have finally caught the spy," Mr. Smith said. "And by the way, Mike ,no man can serve two masters. You should have left if you did not work with us any longer."
