The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress THE HACK ATTACK
Henry dashed down to the lab. It was one of those rare times anyone could see him be in the company of more than ten percent of his staff. His brother throttled behind him: another rare sight for the brothers who did not ever appear together publicly. Daniel, however, was in front of Jack, keeping up with the same pace as his boss."Andre, what's the meaning of this?" Henry asked as he entered the lab."Mr. Vice President," said Andre, straightening. "The hacker just left us a message. He says you have only an hour to call him before he starts giving out our company's data for free.""Excuse me, did you say the hacker wants me to call him?" Henry said, looking around for Zoe, who he spotted at the far end of the lab."Yes, Mr. Vice President," replied Andre. "This doesn't strike me as typical ransomware. It seems the hacker isn't demanding money. Someone is trying to get your attention.""My attention? If someone just wanted my attention, there are several ways to get to me; why hack
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress THE ACCUSATION
Zoe used her queen and king to drive Whites king towards the edge squares, and with about two more seconds left, she checkmated. Everyone's hands shot up in a celebratory style, except for Henry's. However, his lips formed a thin smile. The hacker sent the words "gg," which was shortened form for: good game. Subsequently, he revealed in the chat that the first answer to his password was capital Z.Henry's phone gave a piercing ring, and everyone turned their attention away from Zoe. The hacker had called back. He asked that the phone should be put on speaker."Congratulations, Mr. Henry," said the hacker. "I want to discuss something with everyone.""What's that?" Henry said. "And for the records, address me by my proper title. It's Mr. Vice President."Zoe groaned silently, thinking about how funny it was that someone hacked into Henry's company, forced him into playing a five-minute chess game, and he was worried about his title?! She kept thinking how pathetic the moment was. To he
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress THE OFFICE PARTY
Henry was in his office alone. He had heard one Sunday while driving around town with his ex-girlfriend that the devil was the accuser of the brethren. And today, he felt the devil accusing him out there. He wondered what the hacker stood to gain by doing all this. He would have felt more prestige had the hacker's ransomware been about money. The money he had, lots of it! But he didn't have time to defend himself against his employees over his lack of interest in their personal lives.Besides, he wondered, wasn't it unethical to pry into the lives of your workers. The hacker called him clueless if he thought knowing about his worker's welfare was poking his nose where it didn't belong. He referred to the hacker as the accuser because his conscience continually reminded him that he had pried into Zoe's life. Wasn't it selfish? He knew all about her shortcomings. Why? Because he wanted to force her to be his mistress, or was it because he enjoyed the game of conquering women. He stubbor
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress THE APOLOGY
There was tension in the air as the President of Maga Tech walked into the building with his tough-looking bodyguards in black suits and dark sun shades. His assistants and secretary followed rapidly, all with a heavy set of footfalls.The President was cladded in a black tuxedo with black Italian shoes that made clicking sounds as he walked majestically on the ceramic tiled floor.Some of the departmental directors were already hurrying out of their offices as the news of the President's presence spread around almost every department.Jack and Henry could be seen coming from the other side of the hallway, looking as composed as ever with charming smiles."Hey, Dad!" Jack greeted, giving his father a big embrace, then a kiss on the cheek."Henry!" Richard called, "come on, give me a hug!" He extended his right hand towards Henry to draw him close.Henry suddenly looked uneasy due to the situation at hand. His mind was not at rest at all. How on earth could this happen today? Jack was
The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress A CLOSE VICTORY
Henry took a break to go and check on Jack and his father. He told Andre to keep him posted."How did it go, bro?" Jack said, announcing Henry's presence to Mr. Richard, who lifted his head expectantly."Well, the rats have been contained," Henry said smugly."All of them?" Mr. Richard asked."It's still a work in progress," Henry replied, sitting across from Jack. "So why are you here, dad?""I came to have a word with you," said the President."I'm here now." Henry gave his brother the "what the hell?" look. Jack smiled because he already knew what his father was about to say."Right, I'm disappointed! You thought I wouldn't hear?" Mr. Richard said. Henry's heart flew into his mouth."Hear what?" he asked."About your recent affairs, of course, with that cougar lady, Kathy!"Oh, that was much better, he thought than having his father hear about the hack. Everyone knew about his scandalous affairs with women. Once, he had almost gone to jail for dating an underage girl, but where the

First of all, he didn't know how someone was able to hack into the company's system, with the long list of experts he has. His father mustn't hear of it, or he's going to pay dearly for his carelessness. His position as the Vice President might even be at stake.Zoe! Yes, Zoe. She's his number one enemy at the moment.

"Changes?" asked Emily searching Zoe's eyes for clues."Yeah," Zoe replied, sounding excited. She sat properly and turned to face Emily. Zoe was beaming with smiles."Tell me about it," Emily said, returning the smile. She's very curious to know about the changes Zoe had in mind."Okay, here it is," she took a deep breath. " I have to work as a double agent. I'll go to Henry with two options. First, I could help him catch the hacker.""How?""Because I feel the hacker and I share this nerdy bond," Zoe explained. "He would love to meet with me. I beat him in chess and answered his riddles. And besides, he would be unsuspecting since I'm coming to him as one of Henry's victims."Emily's eyes widened."Girl, you've got game!" said Emily."Thank you! But only if Henry accepts canceling his proposal and continues letting me work for him.""And alternatively? You said you were going to present your boss with two options.""Alternatively, if Henry refuses to comply, I'll get the hacker to po
