Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hamilton, you're almost seventy now, aren't you?" "Your son already has his own child." "To be honest, most people your age would've retired. You're still here, carrying all this weight." "Life's meant to be enjoyed, Hamilton. If you're tired, maybe it's tto step down." "Cedric seems like a natural successor." "And with Cedric and Daniela working together, the company could thrive. Daniela's a genius at making money- let her handle things while we all relax!" Laughter rippled around the table, everyone grinning with delight as if a long-awaited celebration had finally arrived. "So, Hamilton, what do you think?" Hamilton's lips curled into a scornful sneer. “Sure, I can retire." Everyone's face brightened instantly.
Hamilton continued, "But I wonder if Daniela ever discovered the explosion and her mother's death were both connected to McCoy Group, would she still be making money for you?" The room froze. Every trace of laughter vanished, replaced by a heavy, suffocating silence.
Only the quiet clatter of the secretary's keyboard filled the void. Out of nowhere, a thunderous roar burst from Hamilton's chest. "Don't record this part!" The outburst jolted everyone, and the secretary, startled, instinctively pressed save. She lifted her head, adjusting her glasses, meeting Hamilton's glare with wide-eyed confusion.
Hamilton sprang from his seat, moving with surprising agility for a man of seventy. He locked his gaze onto the computer monitor, where a single word stood out in bold that read, "Saved." "Didn't you hear me?” Hamilton shouted, his voice booming. "I told you not to record this part! Are you ignoringon purpose?" Frustration poured out as he shouted at the secretary, "Get rid of that part right now. Wipe out every saved copy. Nothing can be left behind!" Everyone in the room looked at Hamilton as if he had lost his mind.
"Hamilton, what's gotten into you?" "This is the most secure record we have. The board is the only group with access. So what if it gets uploaded?"
"Our security team has the best programmers in the world. There's nothing to worry about. The record is safe."
"Honestly, has Daniela been giving you nightmares? You're making a big deal out of nothing."
Hamilton shook with fury. "You don't get it! Daniela isn't just any hacker. She's the leader of Cealmaur and the genius who built her own gaming empire. Hep technical skills are remarkable. If she manages to breach McCoy Group's system and uncovers the truth about her mother's death and the explosion, she'll do whatever it takes for payback!" Daniela had lost her child in the explosion.
