"It can\'t be that simple", Zach said whilst still in thought.

"Sir?" George\'s brows rose in shock. Zach\'s descerning skills never ceased to amaze him but he still could not follow. He was so sure that this was all Greco Pharmaceuticals was doing.

Zach, however, had a different thought. Amy warned him to stay away from Greco pharmaceuticals if he\'s to make an investment. Amy wouldn\'t go into hiding or give that warning if all they were doing was produce a drug that could help the masses. That could only mean one thing: the Adalimumab they were producing was just a front.

It\'s a sure way to draw away attention from what they were actually producing. Amy must have found that out leading to the current situation.

"Dig a little deeper", he ordered.

"Yes, sir."

Zach picked up the file and looked at the info. His eyes fell on the information of the ones in power especially the CEO and their assistant. A contemplative look settled on his face as he read the file. George saw this and spoke up.

"I found something else that\'s going to interest you", he said.

He took out a tablet and tapped a few times before extending it towards his boss. There was a picture of some goons in black suits.

"Do you remember these sir?"

Zach didn\'t respond but George could tell he did. It was a picture of the goons who tried to capture Dylan. George slid a finger across the tablet and another picture appeared. It was that of Peter Wright and the same goons. George expected Zach to be surprised but was not surprised when he saw no change in his boss\'s expression.

"You knew, sir?" George could not help but be impressed. "Unfortunately, there still isn\'t any information on them. All I could find is what you see sir, Peter Wright could have directed that attack on Dylan based on the pictures. But interestingly, there is nothing on Peter Wright and we can\'t use this picture against him because it\'s circumstantial. On paper, he\'s clean... Of course, you\'re not concerned about this sir?"

"I want information on his boss too. But remember, be discreet", Zach reminded.

"Yes, sir."

George excused himself and went his way while he felt impressed. So the real reason he was asked to look into Greco was because it had something to do with his Lady Boss. \'Boss is so determined\', he mused.

Zach\'s thoughts were now occupied by Greco\'s CEO; he would have never guessed this person would be capable of scaring off his wife. He needed to find out what it is she knew and stop them, but first he would find her and protect her before dealing with his new enemy. At least, he now knew the face to the person who was behind Amy\'s disappearance. But were they acting alone? It can\'t be that simple. He can\'t afford to relax now that he knows who he\'s against and what they\'re capable of....

The person mentioned was in their office seated on their leather chair behind their glass table. Peter Wright stood with his hands clasped and head hanging low.

"We can\'t let anything happen. Our deal needs to go through", the boss said. "Make sure of it."

"I understand", Peter responded. "And we\'ve just received word from that person that Miss Harper might be on to something."

That person was the very one who found them Amy\'s real identity. If it weren\'t for them, they would have never found out what Amy was doing. And now, that person had just informed them that Amy might sabotage them.

"The more reason to be careful. There can\'t be any mistakes Peter or it won\'t just be me you\'ll be dealing with."

"There won\'t be any mistakes. I\'ll personally make sure of it", Peter responded.

"And one more thing", the boss paused before a sly smile spread on their lips. "Be sure to tell your wife that you\'ll be working late in preparation for the Corporate gala. On some nights, you might have to sleep here."

"Boss....."

The boss couldn\'t see Peter\'s expression when he called them out. But the fear was evident in his tone. He was practically begging the boss but he knew it without seeing it: the boss enjoyed doing this to him. His dignity as a man was thrown out of the window whenever he was in his boss\'s pesence. Knowing this, the boss\'s smile grew wider as they thought of the days ahead. So much would happen during the week before the gala.

\'So much to do..... So much to do to, no, with Peter Wright\', the boss mused.

"You know better than to fight me Peter", the boss said leisurely.

Peter\'s hands were clenched into fists to stop them from shaking out of anger. He was angry with himself. He never wanted to be his boss\'s muse, but five years later, here he was. He didn\'t even have the spine to say no. His sons would be disappointed to know the man they considered to be Superman of a dad was such a coward. He hated himself.

How could he go home to his wife and children after everything? How could he sleep in the same bed with his wife knowing what he allowed himself to be subjected to?

But later that day, he still went home to his wife and kids and told them what his boss told him. He broke the news while they were having dinner at home. His wife mistook the guilt towards her in his eyes for the nervousness for when he breaks the news to them.

"It can\'t be helped. You work so hard for us, how can we not understand this?" She asked with a smile. She pecked his lips. "Don\'t worry about us. We\'ll be fine. Right boys?"

"Right!" Kyle answered.

"Does that mean you\'ll miss my game next Saturday?" Kaden asked with a pout.

"I\'m sorry buddy", Peter responded.

"Don\'t worry Kaden, mommy will record it for you and we can watch it with Dad on our movie night!" She suggested.

The little one\'s eyes lit up from the idea. Peter have his wife a grateful smile. His heart ached when he saw how happy and harmonious his family was. No one could know what happens between himself and his boss; not even his family. Or it would be the end for him. No one should know. No one.
