" Welco back, boss." the assistant greeted when she saw him.
" Georgia, what did I miss?" Russell asked.
" You have a appointnt with the board of directors in an hour. It was decided last minute but I just received a call about it." She inford him.
" So, it's happening already. I can't say I am surprised, though." He sighed. He was sure Roderick was already planning to shack him because of the earlier incident. Russell was with the company for over twenty years, growing it from a small studio to where they were now.
Early retirent sounded good, but he was not satisfied with it. It would be a good thing as he could spend so ti with his grandchildren.
" Alright. I will be in the office if there is nothing else." He was about to head inside when the assistant called out to him.
" Sir, there is sothing else. There was soone who ca looking for you and.." She paused for so reason.
" And?"
" He was also asking about Miss Adele."
" Hmm." He had never seen Adele bring her family around the studio. Even Russell had only t her mother a few tis.
" I gave him your location." She said ekly with her head down.
" What? Don't you know it's against company policy?" He was baffled; he had known her for years to see that she would never make such silly mistakes.
" I am sorry sir. But he said it was urgent and he was just, I don't know he had sothing about it. I couldn't resist!"
" What the hell are you talking about?" Hearing her incoherent blabbering made him even more furious.
" H-he left his card. I don't think he was lying about knowing Miss Adele." She handed him his card.
" Alphabet group? I will look into it." He didn't think much of it because it was already over. He probably wouldn't be here in a few weeks.

" Look who is here. The big man decided to grace us with his presence!" Alastair went and gave him a light hug.
" Don't you think it's a little excessive? You are still treating him like a kid!" Abigail said one thing, but she did the exact sa thing.
" Good afternoon boss." Marilyn also greeted him. Their relationship hadn't changed that much over the years. Samuel nodded and took his seat in the middle.
" Where is Manan?" He asked.
" He is on vacation. He had be clamoring that we are working him like a mule, he also ntioned resignation, Again!" Abigail shrugged.
" It's fine. It is not related to our funds but I will need so help from his subordinates."
" I will tell them after the eting. But before that what really happened in the States?" Abigail asked.
" You have to be more specific."
" She is asking when will you introduce us. I have seen pictures, they don't look half bad." Alastair smugly replied.
" Half bad? Says the old man who can't even get a date! I still can see why people gave you such a fearso nickna." Marilyn spoke for Samuel, which made Abigail laugh. She was proud of her student; she had taught her well!
" Shut it! You should be worried about yourself, I heard you took up Pilates? Beside don't you know forties is the new twenties!" He folded his arms to put an emphasis on it.
" Enough! I was not asking about it but I am curious about it. I will wait for the party since I am invited. Regarding my question, I heard you got implicated in gang related matters?" Abigail asked.
" It was only a small scuttle. There is nothing worry about others are handling it."
" This things could be tough. Do you want so of my people to look into it? Just to cover all the bases." Alastair suggested. An international incident would drive unwanted attention, which was okay for them since they were in a critical expansion stage.
" I appreciate it but I have so people on the ground there. It's best that you and your firm stays out of it for ti being." Samuel didn't want to tell them because he didn't want them to know about the AXA guild. It could unnecessarily implicate their life.
" Alright."
" Also, I want to tell you that we were right about the Warner Brothers," Samuel told them about his eting with the Newhouse and the head of Warner Bros.
" It was Newhouse! I knew it." Abigail exclaid.
" You didn't know. We just have our hunches, don't forget who collected the information." Alastair said.
" This is the first ti I am hearing about it. But I don't understand where did you get such a information? It's hardly believable if you tell such a hidden character was found out by Alastair." Marilyn had her suspicion.
" That's right, He didn't. It's sothing that you are not ready to know." Samuel was mysterious, but it was nothing new.
" So we are on for the project capture the music industry?" Abigail asked.
" Yes, despite that silly na. We are ready to swallow so large companies. Just be aware of the Sony, I received intel that they are also planning sothing."
" We will be quick and careful. But I feel like that's not what you are here to talk about?"
" Well, you are right. Sothing happened today, but how much you know about fifth Earl of Delteor?" Samuel asked casually, but of all the years they had known him, anyone who caught Samuel's eyes was not simple.
"Earl of Delteor is a title in the Peerage which was created sowhere in 1920s for a forr pri minister. I heard he also served as the foreign minister for soti." Marilyn answered first.
" Impressive, but there is no valuable information." Alastair shrugged. He admitted he was not very familiar with British Aristocracy history as, according to him, it served no purpose.
" Try reading so books, beside I am not done. As far as I know current Earl has three childrens, two sons and one daughter. The oldest is nad Roderick Arthur." Abigail said.
" How do you know that?"
" Try Googling sotis, after all it's our Alphabet's product." Abigail showed him her phone screen.
" You can use anything you like. I want to find any and all weakness of this family along with all the companies under them by tomorrow. Employ Holess Hacker, it's top priority task." Samuel didn't have ti to be laughing right now.
" But why this family? Is there sothing you are not telling us?" Abigail was reminded about her phone conversation with him. She didn't know how this family was implicated, but seeing the intensity in Samuel's eyes, it was severe.
" Let's just say soone touched so that they shouldn't have."
