Chapter 92

What do you mean by that?” I asked, confused by her words.
It’s just that finding them is not going to be easy. They’re really making silent and unsuspecting moves to bring you down. If Will’s name wasn’t mentioned, we wouldn’t have known that he was the informant.” She began, voicing her concerns.
“We have to try regardless. Getting them out of the company would help us a great deal. I can’t have backstabbers sit on the board with me.” I replied and she nodded, resuming her tapping on the computer.
My phone buzzed, and I thought it was Terry, but when I c
checked the s screen, it was Grandma Mira.
My mind skipped when I saw her name on the screen of the device.
Did she see the video of Maya talking about my company? Maybe Claire wasn’t able to prevent her this time.
“Mr. Ben
n is close to Mr. Wills; for some reason, they hang out at different restaurants every weekend- but she paused when I told her to hold her word.
Ivy informed,d, looking at
the computer er.
She looked up and saw me holding up my phone,
“Hi. Ma‘“I
I greeted with a cheerful voice the moment the call connected.
“Where are you now Anastasia”” Grandma Mira asked and I knew that she already saw the news.
The only time she called my full name was that something was up, and she just did.
I gulped loudly before replying to her question
Tim at the office. Why?” I tried to maintain my cheerful voice but my voice broke at the last word when I thought about how worried she would be seeing all those things online about me.
“Are you safe!” She asked again and I shut my eyes tightly, trying to shut my heart as well from the pain I felt.
She knew about it but didn’t want to bug me with her worries so she’s asking if I was safe.
Tim fine Ms. Are you and the Moon safe?” I asked with a cheerful voice trying to mask the pain I felt.
“Yeah, he’s playing in his room and the gate is locked” She replied.
“Good, keep it locked. I be home early today.” I replied and she replied with silence
“Grandma! Are you there! I asked when I didn’t hear anything from her.
“Do you need me to comer Was her reply? My heart warmed at this
I know that she was fighting so hard not to talk about the news she saw or the hate in the comments. Instead, she asked how I was. She wanted to
affected by it.
It was a normal thing for me to refuse any help from her whenever I was in a mess. I didn’t want her involved in my problem, and she knows that
any different.
“No, I don’t. Take your medications and rest well, I’ll be home early.” I replied.
After another minute of silence, the call ended. Though she didn’t say the words she wanted to say to me, I knew what she wanted to say, I knew
what her concerns were,
Turning to Ivy, I started, “You were saying?”
“Oli, Lanticed that Mr Wills and Mr. Ben are quite close; they often hang out in restaurants in and out of the city, and they play golf once every month, too. Though it looks like a hamless meeting, a lot could be discussed while they’re on it. There’s no one else close to Mr. Wills on the board, but I think we slatsikdinvestigate Mr. Ben.”
She housled and turned the laptop to show me some p
some pictures of the two men da
men playing golf.
“They’re social bentreflies, I re I said thoughtfully with my gaze on the screen.
“Find anything suspacious on Mr. Ben, we can take it up from there. Investigating him without any suspicious move from him would be offensive.”

“Cat it” by rphed and began tapping on the keyboard.
“Desc” Lodlesd and she shifted her gaze to my face.
“Well done, and thank you.” I greeted her and she nodded.
Shi hai bern on the case for hours now and I could only imagine how exhausting it was for her.
lover for me wouldn’t let her leave even though she was exhausted.
My phone buzzed and I checked to see that it was a call from Terry.
“Took you long enough” I groaned in frustration the minute the call connected
“Where are you!”
“Wheir dise! At the office, trying to figure out who else is in on this among the shareholders.” I replied impatiently.
“Okay, we’re coming” He replied and my left brow arched,
“We?” Lasked with a confused tone.
“Yes, Quinn has a strong lead on who else is involved. He replied
“Ohh.” The line disconnected and for the first time since the crisis started. I thought of Quinn.
The two men who hated themselves and never wanted to be around each other for any reason under the earth were now working together to ensure that they caught the culprit.
It was a wonder and a sight to behold..
I was happy regardless, to see Terry getting close to Quinn. Even though they disliked themselves, they looked good together as friends, but maybe they didn’t see it yet.
“Anything yet?” I turned to Ivy but she shook her head with a sad expression
I kinda knew that she had no lead on Ben yet, I just wanted to divert my thoughts from Quinn. He’s the last thing I should be thinking of when my company is in a crisis.
After some minutes of waiting, a knock sounded on the door
the door and I call
I called them in.
I already knew who was coming so I didn’t need to ask. And as expected. Terry and Quinn walked into the office.
My heart skipped a bit seeing Quinn and I cursed myself for being distracted when the media was going up in flames courtesy of the news and the video Maya and her team made.
“Took you long enough” I greeted Terry with a frown.
sorry, Mommy, please don’t beat me. He replied with a childish voice and his hands up in the air.
I tried to fait him and he dodged my hit. We both laughed at it,
Tcould see Quinn swallow hard at this but I couldn’t tell if it was jealousy or he j
just felt sour about my relationship with Terry.
and you have something I asked with a searching gaze.
“Ah, yes! Wills, Ben, and two other people on the board are in on it,
“They’ve been having meetings at the Relax Spa And Massage‘ I know what you all think, it’s a weird place for men to meet to discuss things like this, but that’s what they thought too, and that’s why you can’t trace them anywhere. He directed his last words to Ivy who stared from behind the
I’m sure she rolled her eyes mentally at his proud words.
“Wills as the only one respected enough to have an audience with Maya so he’s the one they pushed forward. Plus, his cousin is a close friend of
Maya” He continued
“Look at this. He said tapping on his laptop that I hadn’t seen earlier.
