Adrian and Lucas were a little shocked to see Sophie in the office, dressed like nothing was going on with her. She was in a white T-shirt, and black cargo pants. There was a faint blush on her otherwise pale face. She ought not to be walking around. “What? Why are you staring at me like that? You don't like what I said? I'm taking your side, Adrian. I don't believe we should give in to Wilson.”“Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm glad you think that way. I'm not going to give in to Steve Wilson. Look, Lucas, I know that seems like the smartest thing to do right now, and it probably feels like the safest too, but trust me, we would regret doing that.” Adrian pressed on, and Lucas sighed.“I’m just— it feels like we're the ones who have more to lose, so I'm just thinking of the best way to, you know, just avert whatever perilous danger might come our way. By the way, Sophie, are you okay?” He asked, and Sophie leaned against Adrian's desk.“If I wasn't feeling a little okay, I think I'd be back

“I hope you do understand, Lucas. Loyalty needs to be tested, sometimes, to be certain of our acquaintance, or alliance.”“Yes. You are right. And that’s why I asked you to know what I need to do to prove that I am in.”“Well, it all depends on you, Lucas. You should be able to do anything. Just show us. What do we need to see or know, to be certain that you’ve totally left your cheap gang?”Lucas sighed, and then thought for a while.“Alright, I know what to do. Listen up.” He urged Regina, and Regina listened keenly. “I have a log book of ideas which Adrian and I came up with, for our technological launch. Each idea if it is to be sold out, would cost about half a million dollars. Here it is.” Lucas said, handing over the log book to Regina.Regina opened it, and stared at each of them, with widened eyes.“Wow.” She exclaimed softly. “You’re really giving this out?”“Yeah, I am. It’s going to be really beneficial for Steve Wilson’s companies, or whichever company he wishes to bless

“Governor?” Adrian voiced out, still looking shocked.“Wow. You know me.” The Governor spoke.Then they heard the siren, which meant the police were close. Adrian who didn't want to miss his golden opportunity, decided to strike immediately.“I would like to meet with you, sir. It's over something I wanted to talk about, but I wasn't given the chance to speak with you.”“Oh, I get a lot of letters, and all, everyday. Can't recall which is yours, but here is my card. You can come over to my office, tomorrow.” The Governor said to Adrian.Adrian felt so happy. That was like the highlight of his day. Although, he had gone through a mess, tonight, but he was glad that he managed to achieve something.The contact card had all the necessary information that even the secretary wouldn't be able to deny that he met with the Governor.Then the cops arrived, and some of them covered the scene, while three others walked up to Adrian and the Governor.As they noticed it was the Governor, they call

Lucas on the other hand, was at his lodge drinking whiskey, and staring into space. Remembering the look on Adrian's face when he threatened him last night, he felt a little in pain.He saw the pain of betrayal in his eyes and he wished that he could soothe him, but that would be the most foolish thing to do.As he gulped down one more shot, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. He was hesitant to answer it, because he was hoping that Adrian didn't try to use another number to call him.He has already blocked him from being able to do that on his main contact.“Well, I'll just block the contact again.” He said to himself and then answered the call.“Hello. Is this Lucas?” The voice was familiar to him, but he couldn't recall where he had heard such a voice; and it was definitely not Adrian's voice.“Who is this?” He asked, calmly.“Oh! So, you do not recall my voice. Anyways, not everyone is able to do that. Regina told me that you have finally come to your senses and will be wil

Adrian went back to his company, filled with joy, knowing fully well that soon, Steve Wilson would get the bomb.He worked on other documents he was meant to work on until night fall when he retired.“Time to go home.” He said under his breath and then walked out of his office, taking his suit jacket along with him.He got into his car and then remembered that he wanted to search up that secretary. While he could have easily put a call through to Lucas to help him make that search, he couldn't, since Lucas was no longer a part of him.“Oh! There might be no need for me to make use of my phone or laptop to research on that woman.” Adrian smiled, recalling that the system in his head could do that.He was going to wait until he got home before he decided to do that so he could give it his full concentration rather than be distracted on the road.On getting home, he shared the news with Sophie and she was really happy.“Why don't we celebrate!” She voiced out happily.“No. Let's only cel
