?"I can\'t tell you the plan you just have to?believe I can take care of it."
Bruce knew that if it was any other day and at any other time that he wouldn\'t have questioned Zach\'s words, he would have simply nodded his head and gone ahead with whatever he said.
But things had escalated way too far for him to do that. He told him that there was a plan and that he simply had to trust him but how did he honestly expect for him to continue to trust him.
"Look I know that you told me to trust you and that it would all be fine but you can\'t honestly expect me to continue doing that anymore. I have to be getting something in return as well. You have to consider the fact that I am not just your loyal underdog but I am also meant to be your friend, you need to tell me what this plan of yours is or else I am sorry but I am going to have to say that I can\'t continue to do things like this." Bruce said to him honestly.
He watched as Zach let out a sigh from his lips as he ran a hand through his hair. He didn\'t want to tell Bruce because he didn\'t want to ruin everything but Bruce was relentless and he kept on pushing him.
He didn\'t know how much longer he would be able to carry on like this and he didn\'t know how many times he would have to tell him no before he actually listened to him.
"I already told you that I can\'t do it and you have to simply understand that. This plan is my plan not ours. And that means that it doesn\'t concern you and the only person that should be bothered by it is me." he said to him firmly.
Zach looked towards brie as he noticed him appear to be slightly taken aback by his words.
There was a part of him that held hole that this would be enough to word him off and that he would take it as a sign for him to take a step back however Bruce was determined.
He had promised himself that whatever Zach would say to him that say that he wasn\'t going to back down and he wasn\'t planning on leaving util he got what he came for and that was for him to get the answers that he so desperately wanted.
"Well then I guess we are going to have to do it the other way since you have left me no choice." Bruce announced as he took a seat in the chair that was position in front of Zach\'s desk.
Zach looked towards him in confusion as he couldn\'t help but wonder what he was up to and what he meant by all of this. "what are you doing?" he asked him in confusion.
"Well since you aren\'t going to tell me what your plan is then I am just going to have to find out on my own." Bruce said and Zach couldn\'t help but smirk.
He knew that Bruce was smart but it l didn\'t matter how hard he tried he wasn\'t going to find out his plan.
He knew that he often overestimated himself and he thought that he was just as cunning as Zach but Zach wasn\'t going to allow things to be known about what he was planning unless he wanted people to know about them.
"Well you can go ahead and do that. Please be my guest I have no intention of stopping you." He said to him honestly. He watched as he opened and closed his mouth like a fish before gritting his teeth as he was soon able to realize that Zach was pushing him.
Zach didn\'t actually think that he was going to be able to find out the plan and he was only saying that he could try so that in the end he would have no other choice but to give up and submit to him.
"You think that I am not going to be able to find out don\'t you. Well you are wrong because I am not going to stop following you around until I get to the bottom of it. I am going to be like your shadow and I am going to be trailing your every move." He announced to him.
He crossed his hands over his chest as he looked towards Zach with a firm smirk on his face. Zach stared at him with a quirked eyebrow as his features held some slight amusement on them.
"You can\'t be serious." Zach said to him after a moment as he stood up to his feet. He watched as Bruce did the same and without warning he came to take a stand behind him. He was so close that he could almost feel his breath on his neck.
"I am very serious. We are all worried and you are doing very little to ensure that at least some of our worries are easier. All you do is sit around and tell us to trust you. That isn\'t how things work. You have to give a little as well.. so I am going to do this so that I can finally find out what it is that you are hiding." Bruce said to him firmly.
He couldn\'t help but groan loudly as he threw his head back in frustration.
Zach didn\'t want to have to do this but I t was clear just how adamant Bruce was and it was obvious to him now that if he didn\'t try to do something that Bruce was going to find out on his own and the methods that he would in order to do so was one that he wasn\'t going to appreciate.
"Fine." Zach said to him in a mutter after a moment.
Bruce furrowed his brows as he looked towards him in confusion. "fine what?" Bruce asked.
Zach huffed rolling his eyes as he made his way out of the door. He knew for a fact that Bruce was only teasing him and he was making an attempt to further get on his nerves.
"Just follow me and dint try to lush me or you aren\'t going to like the consequences.": Zach said to him in warning.
Bruce couldn\'t help but smile at his words ads he was surprised that his adamant nature had actually worked on Zach and that he was in fact agreeing to let him come along with him.
Bruce chose to remain quiet however as he didn\'t want to ruin it any further. He trailed behind Zach as they made their way past the offices and at first he found himself confused but there they were heading however it all, seemed to add up when they came to a stop in front of the large factory doors.
Zach stopped for a moment as he turned to look at him and he ran his gaze over him for a moment before he slowly pulled open the door land they stepped inside.
As soon as they stepped inside they were hit by the smell of sugar and they could hear the sounds of the machines bustling. As Zach ran his gaze over the workers he pulled his fingers into his mouth as he let out a low whistling sound causing all of them to freeze.
They all swiveled around towards him as they smiled when they noticed that it was Zach.
They gave firm salutes as they said, "hello sir." In unison and they went on to giver hm a slight bow.
Bruce was quiet as Zach began to lead him through the factory. They passed by all of the production units as they knew that there was one thing that was recurrent with all of the staff.
Bruce could see that all of them were happily working and there were none that seemed to have any complaints.
However he didn\'t understand if this was supposed to be Zach\'s plan. They had been walking through the factory for several minutes and Zach was still yet to explain to him exactly what was going on.
He couldn\'t help but admit that he was slightly frustrated by it all and there was a party of him that wished that Zach would simply stop all of it and just tell him what was going on.
"Okay what is happening here." Bruce said all of a sudden as he was brought to the raw material section.
Zach turned around to face him as he looked towards him with a quirked eyebrow.
"What is going on here how?" Zach asked as he feigned naivety. He watched as he gritted his teeth at him in anger as he was clearly frustrated by his lack of answers.
"You are supposed to be telling me about your plan. And yet here you are showing me the factory instead. The factory that I know like the back of my hand. Have you forgotten that I am the one who supervises it." He said to him in a slightly raised tone.
Zach let out a sigh however he made no attempt. To show that he was affected by his words.
"Well it was you who said that all of the workers are anxious and they fear about what is to come and how all of this is going to play out in the long run." Zach said and Bruce took a minute before he slowly nodded his head at him in response.
