" Is something wrong?" He was a little worried when Eleanor glanced at him with serious expression. Did she find something? He was careful so that shouldn't be the case but these old generation elites were tough nut to crack, he had to expect the unexpected so he kept maintaining his facade.

" How long have you worked here?" Eleanor asked which confused him.

" Only a couple of months. I am working part-time to get some pocket money for my travels." He didn't reveal much he could see the shift in Eleanor's demeanor. He didn't know why she was questioning him about personal stuff all of a sudden but he remained unambiguous on purpose.

" Is that so?" Her stare intensified for a second before she said," Why don't you come and work for me? I have many industries in Paris, i can arrange a good job for you and you can leave any moment if you don't like it. I am not boasting but It would give your portfolio a great boost for future endeavours."

Bob blinked a few times confused, was this scouting? Was it okay for him who was considered an enemy by her to blatantly join the other side as a spy? He didn't understand it. If someone heard her and knew about Bob's identity they wouldn't be able to stop laughing. He was sure his two guards must have heard the conversation, he needed to make them swear not to tell anyone! It would be disastrous for his personal prestige!

" I-i can't. I like to remain free and work when I like it. I only work here because I like history beside, I don't have qualification to work for you Miss Eleanor." He said with a apologetic expression.

" You seem to recognize me but you still refuse? Are you sure about it? There are also few industries that deals with antiques and auctions. You can get a managerial position for it and you could travel around on contract to collect artifacts for us." Eleanor might not have recognized him but he could tell that young man was special.

It was just her gut feeling, the way the other party walked and remained calm in front of her when knowing her background impressed her a lot. Not many people could do it so it was always good for her to hire such competent people for her company.

Not everything under her was due to her success, there were thousands of people working together to lift the Morgans to where they were right now which was why Eleanor had always been generous with her rewards. It would be great to hoard wealth but she was known for being extra good to her employees which was why they had a sense of belonging, even if they were going to rough times, they would stick together riding it out rather than going to the competitor for more pay.

" I am sorry." Bob apologized again. Eleanor wasn't discourage and said that it was okay. She liked him even more that he wanted to forge his own path, maybe they would be able to meet again in the future .

He hanged around the family for few more minutes and also said goodbye to Elise who he eventually grew of fond off. Elise also cheerfully said goodbye to him and even gave him a hug which was awkward and showed how much he was out of touch when it came dealing with kids.

Their unpretub curiosity and cheerfulness was something he could never match or understand. What's more amazing was that he knew what Elise went through after all she was someone that his subordinate was hoping to kidnap for his gain.

For now his situation did stabilized because he provided some cutting edge technology to stabilize his heart but he wouldn't be able to live long, at least only few more years. He was aware of many such cases of harvesting organs to prolong life, it was common place among the six families and even his family did it but due to the creativity of new technology they had extended human life evident by his father who was well over seventy but still looked less than fifty on a bad day and on a good day could look below middle age.

But such technologies were crucial for the main family for dominance over in the current climate of their vassal families exponential growth. He knew there would a shift soon and they had to fight a bloody battle in the dark but that was something for the future.

After Eleanor and her people left, he met up with Wilbur and his people again and strictly told them not say anything about what happened today to his family. It could lead to some huge misunderstanding seeing him get close to their enemies.

SInce his plane was ready to take off, he was ready to head home armed with new information about Samuel and his family. He wanted to devise new plans to deal with his growing influence but at the same time, he didn't want to get spotted by the other party.

There weren't just Samuel he needed to worry about but a alliance of other families that were fighting in light. He had many responsivities, including dealing with Rockefeller mess so first he headed for Africa to their hidden base to deal with Richard who made him come out in the open after so many years. He needed to set the record straight before more 'defectors' reared their ugly head to disrupt his 'ultimate' plan.

Meanwhile, Elise and others continued their adventure going to different well known sites in the city giving Samuel, Kayla and Mayra valuable time to do their 'job'. They couldn't see the face Samuel was making at the moment being struck by such a ridiculous situation so early in the morning!

He was pushed inside the room with Kayla and Mayra staying behind as he saw the third mysterious person laying on bed currently ignoring his presence.
