Archer stared at Lydia as she fidgeted, it's been a while and Ferguson requested another meeting.He knew it wasn't to bond with Archer, the old fool was trying to gather all the information he could.Lydia had told Archer of their plans but he figured they might want to do it on the day of the fundraiser since he was going to create the opportunity.When she asked why, he had told her that they would want to attack him at the fundraiser in public, because so many of their investors would be there and they knew, I would have no choice.She had realized they wanted to force him to quit right in front of thousands of people.He had also heard enough of their plans on the listening device, Ferguson had confessed one too many times. He was in cahoots with Scoffield, Dickson and others he didn't care to name.Archer took the recordings and stowed them away, since they had plans to humiliate him then he was going to show them the real meaning of that word.His police friend was ready to tak

The second Archer turned his back, Lydia rounded up on Ferguson. Her eyes narrowed to slits.“What the hell was that?” she asked.“Don't start acting like you care about him. You have a hand in this, remember?”Lydia took a step back, “You Used me?” she laughed. “I am so stupid,”“I have been trying to tell you that,” Hailey chirped.Lydia gave her a glare that could freeze hell over before she directed it to Ferguson.“You had me believing all this time that you wanted to bond with me but you were just using him to get to me?”“You are an adult now, you don't need me. The money is proof of that,”Lydia nodded like she was hurt, “Okay, I get it. Since I have millions, I should just let it go,”“Millions?” Hailey hissed.“Shut up!” Lydia snapped, “I am going to walk away before I end up killing you both.”She walked away, trying so hard not to grin. Ferguson on the hand watched her go with a smile.“I cannot believe she thought we were bonding, what a naive child,”Hailey chuckled and

It was a celebatory period for Archer and his team, he invited people to his house for a the fundraiser after party but it was merely just a formality to celebrate the win he had today. Madison had pressurized him to invite them over so they could see where he lived.Archer thought it wouldn't hurt, the worst was over and he could finally breathe.He remembered the conversation he had with Maxfield right after the event, the old man told him that he had to be careful and just because he had gotten rid of the enemies he could see doesn't mean he didn't have others lurking around, waiting for the right moment to pounce.Archer haven't forgotten, neither did he let loose. Which is why he wasn't able to enjoy this party, his eyes have been darting from one end to the other like he was waiting for the enemy to pop out. Lydia noticed and came to stand beside him with a drink in her hand for the both of them."Are you waiting for someone?" She asked,Archer shook his head, "No, why?"Lydia l

The next day at the office, Archer groaned into his hands when he sat in his chair.“What is it?” Lydia asked,Archer shook his head, “I don't know, I am pissed at the whole thing. I have a family out there who probably suffered the same thing I did,”“But it's not your fault. There is nothing you would have done at that point in your life. But he is here now, it's up to you to make amends.”Archer nodded, it was up to him but didn't know how. If experience has taught him anything, it means everyone was out to get something as selfish as it may sound.“Okay, get the files on Fremulon,” Archer ordered.Lydia nodded and turned to leave, she glanced back at him and shook her head. She was worried about him.The presence of a long-lost brother had him rattled and she had no idea how to fix it, but if there was one thing she was good at, it was reading people.She went downstairs to the file room to request the files when she bumped into the three musketeers.Lydia rolled her eyes because

Lydia hummed lowly in her throat as she walked out of the company. She had asked for permission to enjoy the rest of the day on her own.Archer had granted it because he felt she needed it.Lydia took out her phone to call a cab when the three musketeers ambushed her. This time she was ready to fight.She knew they wouldn't let her get off easy for the salary cut but she didn't expect it to be so soon.“I am not in the mood,”Monica opened her mouth to talk when Cordelia touched her to stop her.“What did you do?”Lydia figured that they thought she had a hand in it.“What do you mean?”“You reported us to the boss, didn't you?”She opened her mouth to defend herself but she sighed, there was no point in doing so. They have already painted her as the bad person so it wouldn't make a difference.“I didn't. You were there, you saw him when he asked you what you guys were doing. How did you conclude that I caused whatever it is you are ranting about?”Monica glared at her, “So did you pl
