THE CEO’S VENDETTA

“It’s not here, it’s gone, Mrs Reynolds took it” Daniel came in and broke the news to Alex…

“Let’s go,” Alex took his phone and intend to head out of the room but he was stopped by Daniel.

“You can excuse us, Juliet. Just head home”

“Do not go, it will be reckless, she took it for a reason, she doesn’t need it, it’s only powerful when she attacks you with it, or when claire breaks the contract, so she will come, she will surely come”.

Alex decided to follow Daniel’s advice, “No issues, let’s talk more tomorrow, I will tell Claire it’s with you..

Alex left and went home, “oh, did you find it?” Claire asked

“Find what, why did you behave that way, you nearly made my effort go in vain, I have given the file to Daniel, seems I can’t trust you anymore” Alex said and stormed to his room

Claire took deep breaths, thinking of ways to pacify him, she took a bottle of wine and went to his room

She was already dressed in a blue lingerie, she poured the wine and exposed her b**bs a bit.

Alex took few cups and apologized to her for venting anger and they both apologized and had a night together

***

It’s 6:30am, the light ray woke Claire.

“Oh good morning Claire, you are awake”

“I’m late why didn’t you help me up”

“Late for what, please rest, do not worry, I’ll make sure I’m home early.” Alex said

“No, please, I’m resuming back to work today, just let this slide Alex, because of me”

“Okay, then I will wait for you, just be snappy cupcake”

“No, you won’t, Alex, you won’t wait for me, you will go ahead and be the boos, I’m just your secretary” she placed a kiss on his forehead “go ahead please…” With a puky mouth

“Okay . See ya soon”.

Alex’ phone blared***

“Hello” the voice on the other end was that of Daniel

“What, at work already always diligent bro”

“Alex, we have issues, we’ve been breached and informations were leaked from out system, Claire must be here to trace it”.

“Hmmn, she’s on her way, but how are you sure she will be able to settle it when she reaches”

“It’s because the breach is from her desk”

“What?” The wine glass in his hands fell of which alerted Claire, she came out of the bathroom naked, “hope you are fine?”

“No, there is a breach and it’s from your corner, meet me at work as fast as possible”.

“The breach is from my desk, my corner, but that doesn’t mean it’s from me, I wasn’t on seat that day and also there’s no..”

“That’s not an excuse… The only thing that can clear your name is that we get it all settled as soon as possible. We are expecting a lawsuit but before then, this all should be settled, the meeting is dismissed….” Alex said harshly but a better way to ease Claire of the attacks comes next

Claire is in her office, feeling overwhelmed with the current ups and downs. She’s been working hard to uncover the traitor within the company and has reached a dead end.

She furrows her brows, staring at her computer screen with a mix of frustration and determination.

“I can not believe we are at a standstill with this. I have hit a wall, and it is driving me crazy.”

Suddenly, there is a knock on her office door, “come in she said still starring at the screen. “Oh, it is you, Robert”

Robert Turner has been supportive of Claire’s efforts, even when she was accused few months ago.

“Yea, it is I, is the boss in?”

“No, he is not, can I help you?”

“Hmmn” he gave a relief sign, “well, I intend to see you initially”

“Okay, right now?” she said looking away from the screen

“Yeah, Claire, I’ve been doing some digging of my own, and I might have found a lead that could help us identify the root of this problem.”

Claire now looking really surprised and hopeful, “Really? That’s amazing, Robert. What did you find?”

Claire leans in closer, eager to hear what Robert has discovered.

“Well, it’s not definitive yet, but I’ve noticed some unusual patterns in the data from our recent security breach. I think there might be a hidden connection we’ve overlooked. I’m willing to work with you to investigate this further.”

“Robert, that’s fantastic! I can’t thank you enough. Let’s get to the bottom of this together.”

She had been tirelessly working to unveil the identity of the corporate problem, but her efforts had reached a disheartening dead end. Her computer screen displayed countless lines of data, each one a maddening puzzle piece.

But right now Claire’s frustration instantly fades away as the new development gives her another piece to the completion of the puzzle

Claire couldn’t contain her gratitude and excitement.

Claire and Robert meticulously combed through the tangled web of data.

They pored over logs, examined system breaches, and cross-referenced information, connecting dots that had previously eluded them.

They found a suspicious movement in the signups data, Robert made a copy and intended to go over it again later in the nightContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Alex came in… Ready to leave Claire, yeah soon. “Please Robert do not forget to send me the results”

Claire looking very concerned “This could lead to a very serious setback, Alex. We need to find a solution quickly.

Alex gave a deep sigh, “I do not know how much my mum already knows about this, but I think she’s connected, all these are happening too fast”

We can’t say that, we can’t even believe that, let’s take our time through this document

Alex right now very determined than before “I agree, Claire. We can’t afford any more delays.

Tomorrow we will hold another meeting, I will gather the team for an emergency meeting.” Alexander picks up his phone and starts making calls to assemble the project team.

“You should have just told Daniel instead”

“They might not take it as serious as how they will take it now”
