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

It was midnight already, and Henry found it difficult to sleep. He tossed around in bed wrapping himself up with the duvet, but still found it difficult to sleep.He has a lot of things on his mind. 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. To make things worse, she seems to have won the hearts of every member of his staff.She's also a computer genius. 'Hold on a second. Could she be the one...'He shook his head to clear the thought off his mind. She can't do that, moreover, she was with the other staff in the lab throughout the whole situation. She even solved the riddles.She solved the goddamn riddles! He almost screamed in his head.He got out of bed and moved to the study table in his spacious bedroom, si

Meeting With The HackerThe taxi pulled up in front of the restaurant where Zoe and the hacker had planned to meet. She paid the driver who immediately drove off, leaving Zoe on the spot as she observed the environment like a detective.The restaurant was a medium-sized one. It had red and yellow frames with most of its body frames consisting of glass through which one could see the interior parts.Zoe straightened her shirt, and walked into the restaurant, observing the different sets of people. Most of them were busy eating their meal, while some chatted with their partners."Red cap, black hoodie, and black pants..." Zoe remembered the description given to her by the hacker over the phone.She glanced at her wristwatch to see if she was late since she couldn't find anyone that matched his description. She was right on time. So what the hell was happening?Her eyes caught sight of a figure at the extreme of the restaurant. His eyes had been on her all this while even though she cou

"Did, did I ask you to sit down?" Henry said before Zoe's butt could land on the chair. Henry was churning like a boiling kettle, and Zoe could almost see the steam coming out from his ears and nose.She stood upright and said, "Fine, I'll stand here. As I said earlier, I have a deal for you. What if I told you I would help you catch the hacker and, in turn, you'll let me work for you unobstructed by your desire to be your mistress? Will you take the deal?"Henry smacked his lips and gulped, "And how do you know you can catch the hacker?"Henry had called the hacker the night after their steep victory in the lab. He was surprised that the line was still able to connect. When Henry had asked the hacker what would become of the data that was stolen, the hacker had replied that nothing would be done, but yet Henry was doubtful. He and Jack had agreed that it was risky not to go after the hacker."Well, for starters, I've already made contact with him, and I made a deal also, so it's just

Emily picked Zoe up from work as usual. Leo was already in the vehicle in the back seat, and the journey home was the normal routine of rush hour traffic and girls talking.Zoe took her time to fill Emily in on the latest development at work. She told her about the deal she put forward at Henry and the ultimatum she gave him.It was a hearty laugh for Emily when Zoe told her how Henry had behaved after he was told about the deal."He almost pissed in his pants," Zoe had said as Emily burst into laughter.They got home, and Emily parked the car in the garage. Leo, as usual, said nothing to the both of them. He just got down from the car, closed the door, swung his backpack over his shoulder, and went inside.Zoe and Emily exchanged glances. Emily was about to call after him when Zoe stopped her. "Let him be," she mouthed at her.Emily rolled her eyes and gave her the whatever look.Zoe grabbed her handbag and was about to shut the door close when her phone rang. She picked it up and
