"Were you offered a job at Jackson and Sons too? Is that why you want to leave?" Gina asked as she really wanted to know why Derek uttered such a statement."No," Derek shook his head. "It's not that at all.""Then why are you suddenly deciding to leave the company? Did you find a job elsewhere?""Something like that. As a matter of fact, it's bigger than me getting a job. I get to own this completely without the fear of being fired. The only fear I might have is how to properly handle the affairs of this one."Gina picked on what he said without thinking too much into it. The words were clear enough."But how? How long have you been planning this?" From the tone of her voice, one could tell that she wasn't pleased. She didn't like the idea of knowing that something like that was going on and she had no idea until that moment."I haven't been planning anything at all. A friend just offered me the chance to run my own enterprise and I'm still thinking of accepting it or not. There's a l

"Hello, Mr. McKay."To Derek's surprise, that came from the man standing in front of his apartment.He knew that car wasn't the one he recognized as it didn't look anything like Catherine's car. So when he stepped out of it and saw the Eugene Leviathan there, he was stunned a bit."What are you doing here?" he asked in a stern voice."I know you must be surprised to see me but I mean no harm," Eugene Leviathan told him, trying to sound as reasonable as possible but Derek wasn't buying it."How did you find this place?""Well it wasn't much work," Eugene said casually. "Aren't you going to invite me in?""What I'm going to do is invite the cops over so they can get you out of my premises this instant," Derek declared, already enraged."Easy there, tiger. I just came here to talk.""And I don't want to talk to you. So you can take that your offer and give it to someone else who needs it."Eugene scoffed. "I see Miss Gina already told you. But that's not why I'm here.""If you're not her

Derek went in after he was done talking with the man. They agreed to find time to meet later so they could discuss and it seemed he could find something from him.But before the man left, Derek left him with something very important that he hoped he would help him crack. And from there, he could at least get a good grip of what he was trying to find out.Once he was in, he waited patiently for Catherine. He wondered why she wasn't home yet but didn't bother putting a call through to her.Right in the living room, he sat, drowning his thoughts with a lot of things that he shouldn't necessarily be thinking about.He held on to that level of patience until the door into the apartment was pushed open. And immediately he saw Catherine walk in, he stood up and walked toward her.Catherine looked confused upon seeing him approach her with such momentum. "What's going on?" she asked but the response she got right after she shut the door behind her was the smack of Derek's lips over hers.Dere

"Mr. Leviathan?" Derek asked over the phone after putting a call through to the man he was hesitant to call at first."Yes, who is this?" was the response he got."It's Derek McKay," Derek said."Oh, Mr. McKay. So nice to hear from you. How are you doing?""Very well," A pause then he added, "Actually I'm calling to make a little inquiry from you. I hope you're free to talk at the moment?""Yes, yes. What is it?"Derek was surprised to hear how open the man was to communicating with him. It made him wonder why he had been suspecting the man in the first place.Realizing he was starting to let his guard down, he drowned every thought pertaining to that and said into the phone, "What do you know about encrypted lines?"The man seemed to hum first before saying, "Encrypted lines? The only thing I can say I know about that is they are very tricky. Why are you asking?""I need to know if such lines can be decoded. If there's any possibility at all.""Actually there is," the man said. "The

This was probably the first time Derek was face to face with the Compton branch of Jackson and Sons. And like the HQ in the heart of town, the structure was similar.The notable difference between the Compton branch and the HQ was how smaller in size the Compton branch was compared to the size of the HQ. Asides from that, they looked just the same.Once he got down from his car, he went straight to the entrance and got in after he pushed the door open slightly.From there, he went straight to the receptionist counter, already seeing someone seated behind the counter."Good day, sir," the receptionist regarded him with a smile as she stood up from where she was sitting."Good day," he said as he took a glimpse at his wristwatch. "I'm here to see Eugene Leviathan.""Do you have an appointment with him?""Yes, I do. He told me to meet him here by twelve. This is a few minutes past that already.""And you are…?""Derek. Derek McKay.""I'll just call in and check with him for you, sir. Giv

"I guess this is a tracking number for something. Let me see if I can run another check on it," Eugene Leviathan said and then did his thing again.Derek kept watching intently to know if the man would be able to get something substantial from the search but when he kept looking at the man's face, he noticed that didn't seem to be the case."This looks like a dead end," the man finally said, frustration eluding from his tone. "I think we might need something more than just these numbers before we can get anything from it." He then looked up. "Does this mean much to you at all?" he asked Derek."It does," Derek said. "I found it in two places that didn't seem to match which is why I want to be sure I'm not making a mistake." He picked the paper from the table. "I'll just think it to be a mistake of some sort and hope it stays that way."The man's expression after Derek had finished saying that was close to scrutiny. He looked like he was trying to understand Derek more but Derek didn't

Derek was excited to see Jasmine and he let that show with the way he hugged her when she showed up at his doorstep."How have you been, Jasmine? I didn't know you'll be back this early," he said after letting her go."I didn't know either. But we had a sudden break which would last for a whole week so I thought of spending it in the place I'm very well familiar with that's why I'm back home," Jasmine explained."And I'm glad you took that decision. Come on in."As he ushered her to a seat, he was already preparing to get her something to drink.The reason he was this excited to see her was that it has been a while since he has gotten free from all of the things that have been troubling him. Seeing someone that he could say he grew up with was enough to take his mind off such problems for now."Here," he said when he got back and handed her a glass of wine which he had poured himself in the kitchen.Jasmine collected the glass and before she took a sip, she said, "I hope this has alco

"You don't look too good," Derek told Catherine right after he stepped out of the conference room which hosted the meeting that just ended. He intentionally rushed out to catch up with her cause it seemed she was leaving.Catherine looked up to notice it was him before saying, "I'm fine. Just a bit nauseated.""Let me help you with that," Derek said as he collected her bag from her. "You need to rest.""I will. Once I get home.""That's tonight, isn't it?""Of course."To put her to a halt, he suddenly grabbed her by the arm. He used that to turn her around so she could directly face him."I think it's time we talk about your work rate. Don't you think it's too much for your condition? By now you should be doing less but instead it looks like you're trying to do even more and I'm scared it's going to affect the baby."He watched as her expression remained bland despite his attempt to sound sweet. It didn't make him feel good because that wasn't the reaction he was expecting."I think
