He had a stack of papers in front of him, filled with notes and suggestions for how to fix the company's computer technology problems. This was his first official meeting as the new interim CEO of the tech giant, and he was determined to make the most of it."This is a mess," he said, gesturing to the papers.

    Oliver dialed Adam's number and waited for the call to connect."Hey, Adam," Oliver said as soon as the call was connected."Oliver! Hey, what's up?" Adam's chirpy voice came from the other end."I need to talk to you about something important.""Sure, go ahead.""I think I'm being followed by someone."Adam's voice softened. "What? Who is it?
