Chapter 44

Changing 

The date was set in two days, I was about to meet Callan again. I wished I could have had more time to prepare for meeting him, but I was also aware that it was going to happen soon. 

“I‘ll be by your side, and I will make sure nothing bad is going to happen,” Aren assured. 

I smiled, trying to fake my composure, but the truth was, I was terrified. Perhaps I should feel more comfortable having to hold Aren‘s hand while facing my dreadful ex. Aren was definitely hotter and wealthier than Callan, and I was nearly certain that he was a better man in every aspect. Still, my anxieties were there, slowly consuming my rationality. Nonetheless, it was Monday, and I had other things to focus on. We had to set a trap for a hacker. 

Mr. Clark, Neil, Aren, and I sat together in the office and worked up a plan to provoke the one who invaded the system into another attack. 

“We have to keep Davies in hiding for some time, whether he likes it or not. Officially, he will be on vacation while we prevent him from contacting anyone from outside. Those fuckers cannot know that we have found out they entered our system and who was their mole,” Mr. Clark said. 

“He‘s been handed over to the police. Can we get him back just like that?” I asked, my eyes shifting from him to Aren and back to him. 

Mr. Clark smirked. “I have my way. Besides, the case has been handled quietly by the NYPD from the beginning. There‘s no need to worry.” 

I nodded in acknowledgment. It looked like it was merely one of many crime–like situations in that company that he had to deal with over the years. As my eyes turned to Aren, I saw him calmly registering Mr. Clark‘s words while nodding in approval. He had to trust him and his judgment a lot. That made me curious if there was any particular story behind their acquaintance. 

“I prepared a list of potential products that would attract the thief‘s attention.” Neil gave us all a copy of the results of his research. “I would say that the sequel to the game “Golden Dragon City” should do the trick.” 

Aren quickly read the document and put it down on the table. “I agree. The game was supposed to be released by the end of next year. If we spread the rumors that the launch would be a whole year earlier, the hacker will certainly try to steal it or corrupt our files.”
