Drake had been rushed to the hospital following the horrible incident with his right hand. Meanwhile, William had left the headquarters building with nonchalance, heading straight to a hotel privately owned by his grandfather. He had temporarily moved his belongings to the most expensive suite in this private hotel after leaving the McArthur estate. This was done to avoid suspicious eyes. It was logical and expected that once William officially became an intern, there would be people in the shadow keeping tabs on him. After all, most of the important people working in the McArthur headquarters should have been informed of how William was recruited. Despite all the necessary precautions that William had taken, there would still be people who would want to check if there was anything of importance that he could possibly be hiding. This suspicion towards William was quite understandable though. Despite William’s reputation as an exceptional mind at BAU, it was still quite odd that the

Mike understood though, so he chuckled. “Well, how you deal with Drake is totally up to you. I just thought it would have been best to know of his origin. He may not know your true identity, but it was for the best that you know his identity, at the very least.”“There’s one more thing though.” William placed his fingers beneath his chin, feeling the stubble there. He made a mental note that he was due for a shave. “I’m also aware that Grand-Uncle Augustin is a notable member of the board of directors. He must be the reason Drake is as domineering as he does.”“Still, he has to be evaluated as the other interns, or else, his qualifications in the near future will be brought under suspicion.” Mike Barathea pointed out. “And people begin to look into him, they would, sooner or later, uncover his toes with Augustin. This matter of an illegitimate child, to your Grand-Uncle, is still something of a deeply shameful matter. It would not only destroy his marriage, but he’s also aware that

Early the next morning, Drake walked into the McArthur headquarters with prideful steps despite the bandages on his right arm. The thought of not seeing a certain someone arrive on his first day at the internship made him happy.Drake looked down at the bandages on his right hand as he was taking the elevator up to the internship department. “The fucking guts of that abandoned bastard to break my hand.” He gritted his teeth as the horrible memory from yesterday came rushing back. “After the trap, I had prepared in his new apartment, I would like to see if he dares look me in the eyes…if he survived that attack, that is.”Drake exited the elevator, walking inside the internship sector when he heard Laura and Ian chatting with Jed, Amma, Armando, and Drew.“Why haven’t William come in for his first day?” Amma stared at the newly cleaned desk placed in the junior intern's area, along with the other four desks. “That guy must really not be as intelligent as his university made him out

The entire room became quiet. It was very rare to find the intern supervisor in an outwardly furious mood. To Drake though, the angry woman was now taking only a bit of his attention, with most of it being put on William. “You!” He pointed at the newest junior intern with a mixed expression of surprise and anger. “What the fuck are you doing here?!” He had spoken in a moment of fury at the sight of William.William, on the other hand, smirked annoyingly at Drake. “Why are you reacting that way? Were you expecting me to end up somewhere else instead?”Drake quickly held his tongue before more words spilled out. He had finally realized the supervisor was here, and thus, he reigned in his emotions.“Did you guys hear all that I just said?!” Cordelia brought the interns' attention back to her. “I said one of you had the guts to send armed men waiting on the new apartment the company had prepared for William. Which one of you did it?”Laura, Ian, Jed, Armando, Drew, and Amma were qu

Time was soon up and all eight interns of the McArthur headquarters found themselves in the supervisor’s office. William and Drake were both seated in the two chairs facing the desk, across from Cordelia Bright. As for the other six, they had no choice but to stand behind them. Everyone except for William, looked incredibly nervous.Cordelia had her hands intertwined as she stared at the faces of her intern. She said nothing for the first minute before she then cleared her throat. “Your fellow intern, Mr. Chain, reported to me around 04:00 am. He had just moved into the apartment that I had requested from the company for him, only to be met with almost ten masked men, armed with daggers and pistols.” Her voice was grim. “If it wasn’t for the fact that his bodyguards were with him, things would have definitely been bad. How do you think it would look on the company’s reputation if they found out that the nationwide known student from BAU had been attacked on the first night he steppe
