In the design room of Diadem Holdings, Tom was fully immersed in his work, pouring all his energy into the blueprint for the revolutionary self-driving car powered by Artificial intelligence for months. Countless hours of research and design had brought him almost close to completion. "Almost done,” he whispered softly, a smile spreading across his face. “Just a few more tweaks and the Apex would be ready to change the world.”With an intense focus, he calculated complex algorithms and with the help of the designer, they designed the car's cutting-edge features. As he diligently continued working on the blueprint, someone stepped into the office, “Mr Tom, the CEO needs to see you. Concerning the Apex, he's asking how far you are with it.” Tom smiled, “I'll just come with the Blueprint and show him my progress. I only need to adjust some things on it, and after that, we just need to build it and test it.” Getting up, he placed the Blueprint securely under his arms and followed the y
Moments later, Brian hurriedly left Frank's office. Upon reaching Marcus's office, he knocked gently but he received no response. “Hello, Mr Marcus..” Brian said, continuously knocking on the door as he eagerly waited for Marcus to respond. A few seconds later, Marcus opened up the door, “what do you want?” he asked, his anger palpable. Brian smiled, pushing the door open, “Why don't you let me in first? I think I might have the solution to your problem.” Marcus furrowed his brows, “What do you mean?” he asked, slamming the door shut. “Did I tell you I have a problem?!” Brian pulled out a chair for himself and sat down calmly, “I know you have a problem.” He began, “I know everything that's bothering you.” Marcus grinned and sat down, “Do you think you're in the right position to say this? You're a mere assistant. No, you're not even a mere assistant but a Junior assistant. What good can you do?” A smile curled up on Brian's lips as he gazed at Marcus, “I don't think it's right to
Brian leaned in, his eyes locked intensely on Marcus's anxious face, his voice taking on a reassuring tone. "Here's the plan, Marcus. We'll create a fake Blueprint, one that looks authentic enough to fool even the smartest people, your boss. We'll make sure it's convincing, with all the right markings and details, but ultimately, it will be a fake."Marcus's brow furrowed in concern, his heart racing in fear. "What's the point of that? He'll just keep my wife until he verifies it's the real thing. If he should discover it's a fake then my wife is doomed."Brian nodded, understanding Marcus's worries. "Exactly, Marcus. That's how Mafia bosses like Logan Pierce operate. He'll want to test it and make sure it's legitimate before releasing your wife. And that's when we'll make our move. We'll use this fake Blueprint as bait, to lure him into a trap."Marcus's eyes widened as understanding dawned on him, his face etched with a mix of hope and fear. Brian then said, "You'll put a tracker o
The next day, Marcus, together with Frank and Brian began to plan Sophie's escape. Marcus was overwhelmed by the thought of going against his boss, but then, he decided to place his hope in Brian. Seeing Marcus lost in thoughts, Brian turned to him, “Marcus, this will work out. You need to put your mind at rest.” Marcus nodded. Frank then got up, “I'll go over to James’s office for the Blueprint. Since we're creating something that's very similar to it, taking note of a few things from the original version is very important.” Brian nodded in approval. “Yes, that's correct. We can't afford to make any mistakes since someone's life is on the line.” Upon getting to James's office, the CEO of Diadem Holdings knocked gently and waited patiently for James to ask him to come in. A few seconds later, his authoritative voice was heard, “Come in.” Frank pushed the door open and smiled, finding his best friend in a good mood. “You're all smiles, James. What's the occasion?”James chuckled sli
However, the fact that Frank was indirectly calling him incompetent hurt his pride, but in the real sense, it was the truth. James sighed, “Alright. If Jordan is a spy, then we need to do something about it.” Frank nodded. “Yes, we'll do something about it. However, there's a very important issue at hand right now. The Blueprint, I really need it.” he said urgently. James eyed him, “Don't think I'll give you this Blueprint without telling me everything. What do you need it for?” He asked while he continued checking on some files. Frustrated, Frank ruffled his hair with his hands and grunted, “I need it to get a spy's boss okay? I need to make a fake blueprint from the original one and we're running out of time.” James grinned as he saw Frank almost erupting from anger. “There there,” he said. A few minutes later, he pointed at a cabinet on one side of the office, “Check the last drawer and you'll find it there. Tom hasn't completed it, but he gave me a photocopy to go through it.”F
Brian inhaled a sharp breath and bowed slightly, “I'm sorry ma'am.” Jane ignored him and returned back to her seat, her hand hurting from the impact of the slap. “Get out of here!” she seethed and Brian turned around to leave. He angrily picked up his phone and texted Albert since Frank was busy with the Blueprint. ‘Albert, there's something I need you to do for me.’Albert was shocked by the message he saw. Immediately, he dialed Brian's number, delighted his master texted him after a long time. Brian hurriedly went to the bathroom and picked up the call. “Albert, you weren't supposed to call me.” Brian said softly. Albert shook his head slightly, “Master, I'm sorry. Should I hang up now?” “Nevermind. I'm in the bathroom already.” Albert then said, “Master, how's the undercover Job coming up? Have you been able to notice any spy?” Brian nodded, “Yes, but it hasn't been easy at all.” Albert sighed, “Master, don't worry. It's only for a certain period of time. Soon, you'll be back
Logan grinned, “Marcus, now you have the guts to call me by my first name? “ Marcus didn't give Logan a response. As Marcus was silent, Logan scoffed, “That's okay. Meet me in front of my company by 8pm sharp. Don't even be late by a minute.” he ordered as he hung up the call without waiting for Marcus to respond. Hearing his words, Marcus headed home with the Blueprint in his hands. …Moments later, Brian's phone made a beeping sound as a new message just came in. Brian picked up his phone and saw a text from Albert. ‘Jane has been embezzling the company's funds for some years now. This evidence is below.’Brian clicked on the picture and gasped. Jane has been transferring a huge amount of money to a foreign account on the 23rd of every month. Why on earth would she do something like that? He picked up his phone and headed straight to Frank's office. “Frank, I want you to sack Jane.” he began as he sat down calmly. Brian pushed his phone to Frank and showed him the picture. Frank
Jane continued to yell as she was dragged out of the office. Brian stared at her and chuckled slightly, glad she had met her end. Remembering something important, Frank suddenly said “Stop.”Jane turned around, tears clouding her vision. As she heard his voice, her heart raced as she wished Frank would just overlook everything and forgive her. However, his next words shattered her heart completely, making it slightly difficult for her to breathe. “Expect our lawyer soon,” he said coldly as he turned around to leave. Jane trembled, her eyes widening in terror. A lawyer? If they should file a case against her, then her life is completely ruined. “Vice chairman!” she wailed as she ran after him, “Please, please I'm really sorry.” she whispered, but Frank ignored her and entered his office. Few seconds later, the security personnels came and dragged her outside. As they walked down the hall, her gaze landed on Brian and she suddenly felt angry. The fact that she was humiliated in front o
