Evil Overlord List

It's not every day that runners are asked to visit a fancy restaurant on their Johnson's dime. Or Ms. Beaumont's, as she introduces herself during the meal. Inbetween eating, she paints a picture of a corrupt manager that has obstructed her friend's career. She wishes to retaliate by having the team shadow him and dig up any dirt they can for four days.
If the runners worry they lack the right espionage equipment, Ms. Beaumont can loan them some. That said, she keeps their reward in escrow and any damaged or lost goods will be subtracted from their final pay. She has no interest in getting screwed over by incompetence.

Delia was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, child of two corporate managers. That did not stop her from being ambitious. She climbed the ranks and dealt swiftly with any enemies she made on the way. But it did leave her lonely as well. She has few real friends, something she hopes to change. Some of her friends turned enemies, others bowed out of the hostile atmosphere that comes with French management.
Recently Delia noticed another manager's misbehaviour, by the name of Patrick Brosseau. Patrick always had a bad rep in the office, but now his actual business caught Delia's eyes. She wants to know a lot more about him, officially because he got in the way of her friend, in reality to figure out what makes him tick and use it against him.

The Run

Patrick Brosseau is visiting a conference in Antwerp and is really taking the piss, so to speak. He skips many of the panels, is blunt or plain rude at times, drinks a lot, spends time flirting at hostess bars... The runners have to get it all on camera, so they have as much as they can to hand over to Delia. She insists they spend the full four days to obtain evidence.
As many of the places Brosseau goes are restricted in access, the team will have to carefully infiltrate these places and observe his dealings. No matter how dull his misbehaviour seems at time, they must avoid getting caught while also making sure they do not miss any move of his.

Word on the street

"Patrick Brosseau is the perfect example of a trashbag in the shape of a human."

"Oh come on, don't be like that. You should come with me, I'll make it worth your while."

"Eh, he pays good money, even orders fancy partydrugs. He's a bit twisted of a customer, but we'll just put on our big boy pants and deal with it."

"Wait, did he just slip that waitress a note? Hold on, let me rewatch the old footage. That doesn't come across as an accident."

The Complications

Just as the runners think they know everything about Brosseau, they catch him slipping a waitress a datachip. Thus falls the first domino to reveal his real plots and personality. Suddenly the team has to pay far better attention and admit they missed a spy's true acts.
At first, Ms. Beaumont doesn't believe the team's story. They must provide additional evidence, so that she can properly use it all against Brosseau. Of course that risks setting him off, which would completely ruin the espionage plan.

The Aftermath

Initially, Delia wanted to just guide Brosseau, giving him suggestions to clean up his act. Now that she discovered he is a vicious manipulator, she wants to marry him instead. Literally. Using the extortion material the runners gathered, she leaves him a simple choice of either courtship or exposure to his higher-ups.
The resulting power couple manages to climb the ranks even more, making them a real force to be reckoned with. Fortunately that is all in France, which no real Dutch runner really cares about.
