Hearing what the secretary had said, Hogan smirked, his face a mask of mockery. Chris ignored him and thanked the secretary, saying he would join the meeting shortly. Hogan winked at Chris, he looked pretty happy that Jupiter had returned and convened everyone, an announcement was going to be made, in a short while, he knew that Chris would be out of the picture because there was no way he could restore the company, not so soon. "The Jupiter wants to meet with everyone, and guess what? She's not a very patient woman, I don't think you have much time to help the company, maybe a few weeks tops, and then you'll be gone for good," he said, grinning as he walked out of the office. Christian hissed, it was clear that everyone at the table had an idea of how vile Sonya was, everyone thought he was going to return and be a lamb heading straight to the abattoir. Squaring his shoulders, Chris exhaled and headed out of the office. If Jupiter wanted a meeting, he was going to give her one.

Christian remained composed, after all, Potter and Pete had warned him of the terms of his return. There was no point being sullen about it, he simply had to make the best of the situation and he had something in mind. "One would think that this is a trap, why would you offer me my position back and still threaten to take me out of the family all in one deal?" He asked, smiling sarcastically, he had a cocky look on his face that surprised the remaining executive on the table..."Oh please, don't flatter yourself, Christian Robinson, why would I waste my precious time trying to trick you or in your own words trap you?" The Jupiter asked, smiling at him like a hyena would smile at its prey. "This is just a minor condition to motivate you to work harder, after all, it would be useless if you returned to the family and could not even help us in this little way," she said. Christian laughed, it was clear that she did not know he had found out about her manipulations with the record, she

Christian Robinson arrived home that day after spending hours riding around town. He badly wanted to find the Otec company and prove the Jupiter wrong. But it turned out that it wasn't going to be a joy ride, he had a lot more work to do, Otec was an undercover firm, it was not going to be easy to find. The dining table was empty save for a small cup of coffee and a bottle of bourbon, Christian needed something strong for the evening - it was going to be a long one. "She knew what she was going all this while, she knew Otec was not easy to find," he said to his old butler who sat across him, his hands nursing a cup of coffee mixed with a little bourbon. "You haven't touched your drink," he noticed and the old man smiled. "I still have to drive back home, remember?" He asked and Christian nodded, "I don't think a strong coffee would hurt you, though" he whispered but waved it away and handed him a glass of water instead. "About Otec, you're right, the Jupiter can't possibly send y

Berlin was going to be an even harder place to find. Christian Robinson made several calls that led him to believe the Berlin company was a virtual tech company with no physical building whatsoever. But Christian was much more persistent, he knew that before such a big firm could stay alive and have partners, they needed a physical outlet. No one trusted the clouds with their money, at least not businessmen. As he was stepping out of Otec, he could see Potter reverse the car and pull up right beside him, Christian got in and waited for the location to Berlin but it wasn't forthcoming. "Where do we go next, sir?" Potter asked, looking at him worriedly through the rearview mirror. The old butler could tell without having to ask that his master's little trip to Otec wasn't successful. Christian replied with a sigh, "I'm still waiting on intel," he said. Potter nodded and both men remained in the car in companionable silence, until Christian's phone rang. He picked it up quickly think

About half an hour later, Christian Robinson arrived at the Robinson company. The parking lot was filled with several cars. He could spot a few cars that he hadn't seen in a very long time, certainly, everyone had been invited to the meeting. Who was still in the car when Potter's call came in again, "I'm here already, Potter," he replied. "Good, because the meeting is about to begin and everyone is waiting for you," he said, "I managed to sneak into the conference room and disrupt the power for a few minutes but it won't last long," he said. "Was the meeting going to be held without me?" Christian asked, wondering how it would have turned out if Potter did not call him. "I guess so, everyone was assembled and Jupiter arrived a few minutes ago. I had to mess with the power just to buy you some time," he replied. "Thank you very much, Potter, thank you for always being helpful," Chris said and ended the call. He had no idea what he had done right to the universe to grant him such
