"That's what I like to hear!" Frank smiled in satisfaction. "I know I can count on you, Robert. I'm sure Claire regretting letting you go."

Robert chuckled as he placed the glass of scotch down on the table. "You flatter me, Frank. I just did what you told me."

"Keep up the good work Robert. I can't wait to see what you bring to Venus AMD." Robert stood up and Frank shook his hand. "I have faith in you, Robertson." "I won't let you down," Robert assured him, a confident smile spreading across his face. With that, Robert turned and left, heading back to his own office.

Once he reached his office, he glanced around the hallway, making sure no one was watching. He closed the door behind him and took a deep breath. Pulling his phone out of his pocket, he scrolled through his contacts and selected Eligos number. Robert knew it wouldn't be easy to get in touch with him; Eligos had a habit of ignoring calls.

After several attempts, the call finally connected. "What do you want?" Eligos voice came through the line, sounding as bored as ever.

Robert hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I need to ask you something."

There was a brief silence, then Eligos responded with a mocking tone, "Another favor, Robert?"

"No, not a favor," Robert replied, shaking his head even though Eligos couldn't see him. "It's about Claire Peterson."

There was a noticeable change in Eligos demeanor. The corner of his lips curled into a smirk, and he spoke in a teasing voice, "Oh, Claire Peterson. What's with her?"

Robert took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady. "The news about her marriage to Alex. Did you leak it to social media?"

Eligos paused for a moment, then chuckled. "Are you impressed by it, Robert?"

Ignoring the question, Robert pressed on. "I just want to know if it was you who leaked it. And if it was, where did you find out about it?"
