Brian stared at the lady, stunned by the words she just blurted out. “Brian Duke or Henry Anderson?” She wouldn't have known unless… Brian's gaze turned cold, “So you have my ID and business card?” He asked, his voice cold and frosty, sending shivers down Anna's spine. “Y..yes yes..” she stuttered, reaching out for her wallet to bring out the card. With the cards in her hands, she then said, “Mr Duke, please I need your help. I've brought you your ID and business card. Don't you think you should reward me?” Brian chuckled slightly, his eyes filled with amusement as he gazed at Anna, “Don't you remember? You claimed that I was just using my boss's card to show off. Don't you know how degrading it is to come back to beg the same person?” he asked, his voice raising slightly. “Give me my property and leave.” He snapped and Anna shivered. Not wanting to lose the opportunity in front of her, she suddenly burst into tears. “Mr Duke, my mother…my mother is in the hospital. I need..need som
“More than one spy working for different companies? That's impossible!” Frank breathed, his eyes widening as he thought of the possibility of Brian's words. Since it was from an important source, it was definitely true. “How are we going to fish them all out?” Frank added as he stared intently at Brian, somewhat shocked and confused.Brian sighed, “Let's just focus on who Marcus is working for. Once we're able to win Marcus to our side, finding other spies should be easy.” “Alright.” Frank simply said. Getting up to leave, Brian then said, “I need to go now. Jane would probably be waiting for me.” “Alright.”As Brian was walking through the hall, he was surprised to see George standing, like he was waiting for someone. “Thief, we meet again,” he grumbled, approaching Brian with anger burning in his eyes. “I've never lost to any employee before. You were only lucky because the CEO stepped in at that moment. If not because of him, you would have been sacked by now!” he growled. Bria
“Lilian!” George snapped, but she ignored him, frightened by Frank's presence. “Mr Frank..I..I can explain “ He added, turning to Frank who had a stern expression on his face. “There's nothing you need to explain.” Frank said coldly, “You're fired.” he added and George's face cracked slightly, beads of perspiration forming on his skin, “You can't fire me!” He yelled. pointing towards Lilian, whose expression was messed up, “We did this together. Why am I the only one being punished?!”“What did we do together? Mr George please!” Lilian snapped, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at him. Frank grinned, “So you're going to deny it? How smart.” “You're fired too.” He said coldly and turned around to leave, leaving Lilian and George in their bewildered state. George glared at Brian, but his job was much more important,so he tailed after Frank, and so did Lilian. “Please.. we promise not to try something like this again.” George whispered, his eyes swirling with a thousand emotions
Brian inhaled a sharp breath, trying to contain the anger that was building up inside of him. With the way Jane was treating him, he felt like crushing her completely, ruining her career to the point of no repair. However, that has to wait. Immediately after his mission, he would show her what it means to be the CEO of the Duke's Empire. “What are you still doing there?!” Jane growled. “pick up that card and get me my lunch.” she ordered and resumed work without sparing Brian another glance. Picking up the card, Brian dashed out of her office and walked straight to the cafeteria. Holding the card tightly, he approached the lady taking orders and said, “I would like to order some fried chicken nuggets and some toppings.” The lady sized him up, her face scrunching up in disgust as she completely ignored him, turning to other people around to take their orders instead. Brian sighed,”Miss.. can you just take my order?” he asked, leaning close to stare at the lady, whose hair was slightl
At the same time, Brian stepped in, making Frank sigh in relief. He then turned to Marcus, “If you'll excuse me for a while, there's someone I need to attend to.” Marcus gave him a suspicious glance and got up reluctantly, turning back from time to time to stare at Brian and Frank. Immediately Marcus left Frank's office, Brian sat down and sank into the chair, exhausted. “Were you able to fix the bug? Were you able to find anything?” Frank asked eagerly as he stared at Brian. “I was able to fix the bug, but I found nothing in his office. The only thing out of the ordinary, is that his office was in dis-array. It was completely scattered, and something seemed fishy.” Frank frowned slightly, furrowing his brows in confusion, “Why would his office be in a mess? Doesn't he know this is a highly respected organization?!” He snapped and Brian chuckled. “Will you calm down and let me finish?” he asked, and Frank smiled shyly. Brian then continued, “I just placed the bug in the wall cloc
Brian watched from the shadows as the young man searched the CEO's office, his eyes scanning every inch of the room. The man's frustration grew, his movements becoming more agitated. Finally, he pulled out a phone and dialed a number."Hello?" a voice answered, sounding groggy from sleep."I can't find it," the young man said, his voice low and urgent.There was a pause, and then the voice on the other end exploded in anger. "What do you mean you can't find it? You said it was in the CEO's office!"The young man winced, holding the phone away from his ear. "I know, I know. But it's not here. I've searched everywhere."The voice on the other end continued to yell, his anger palpable even to Brian, who was watching from afar. "You fool! You were supposed to retrieve it, not waste my time!"The young man took a deep breath, trying to appease the person on the other end. "I'll keep looking, I promise. I won't rest until I find it."The voice on the other end snarled, "You'd better. You ha
Brian walked into the office, his mind still disturbed by the events of the previous night. He headed straight to Frank's office, eager to share his findings with him. As he entered, Frank looked up from his computer, a hint of curiosity on his face."Henry, what's up? Is there something new?" Frank said, his tone light but with a slight hint of curiosity. Brian took a deep breath and began to recount his story, starting from the moment he saw the young man searching the CEO's office. He showed Frank the picture he took, and Frank's expression turned serious."Let me see if I can find out who this is," Frank said, typing away on his computer.After a few minutes, Frank's eyes widened in surprise. “Oh my God!” "What is it?" Brian asked, leaning in closer."It seems that the man is none other than the CEO's assistant," Frank said, his voice laced with disbelief. "No wonder I found him a little bit familiar."Brian's eyes widened in shock. "The CEO's assistant? That's probably why he
Few days later, Brian sat down calmly in his home, a bright smile plastered on his face. Since it was a free day, Brian decided to make the best of it. After finishing up with his chores, he decided to have breakfast and spend the entire day resting. However, he suddenly remembered his meeting with Anna, which he hadn't even found a location for. Brian then searched for a luxurious restaurant within Newfield city, and sent the location to Anna. Moments later, he headed straight to the restaurant and was surprised to find Anna patiently waiting for him. “You're quite punctual.” Brian said as he approached her, making her smile slightly. “Mr Duke.” Anna said politely as she stood up to acknowledge his presence. “No, No, just sit.” Brian said hurriedly, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself. As he sat down, he asked, “What would you like to order?” Anna picked up the menu and sighed, “Everything here seems expensive.” her voice was laced with frustration as she glued her
