"Wow, this is a nice room," she said, impressed.Sebastian looked up at his father, a curious expression on his face. "Why did you furnish this room when there was no one to stay?" he asked.Alexander hesitated for a moment, his m
Sensing her discomfort, Alexander said, "Let me get you some pajamas. You can freshen up in the bathroom over there." He gestured towards a door at the far end of the room.Kate smiled gratefully and headed towards the bathroom, while Alexander went to his closet to grab a spare set of pajamas. As he handed them to her, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion as he looked into her eyes.Meanwhile, Sebastian had reached his own room and began to prepare for his bath. As Kate emerged from the bathroom, feeling refreshed and clean, Alexander gestured towards the bed. "You can sleep here," he said. "You can sleep here," Alexander said, gesturing towards the bed.Kate looked at him with a concerned expression. "What about you?" she asked."I'll sleep next to you," Alexander replied with a smile.

She disengaged from her cozy hug with Alexander, who was still sound asleep, and reached for her phone to check the caller ID. It was Olivia, her best friend, so she answered."Hey girl, what's up?" Kate asked groggily."Hey! I got a call from your boss this morning. He was wondering why you didn't show up for your Saturday shift," Olivia said, concern lacing her voice.Kate's heart sank as she realized her mistake. "Oh no, I completely forgot about that shift. How did my boss get your number though?" she asked."Oh, remember when you added me as your e
The piercing ring of Alexander's phone shattered the peaceful air in the room. Kate's eyes snapped open, and she watched as Alexander stirred from his slumber. But when he didn't reach for his phone, she sat up and shook him gently."Alexander, your phone is ringing," she said, her voice laced with urgency.Alexander rubbed the sleep from his eyes and groggily asked, "What's going on?"Kate's eyes flickered to the phone, and she said, "It's your phone. You should answer it."Alexander fumbled for the phone and checked the caller ID. It was Steven, his secretary at Sterling Corporation."Steven, what's the problem?" Alexander asked, his voice brimming with concern."Sir, we have a serious issue," Steven said, his voice tense. "Our Sterling E drive has experienced a cybersecurity breach, and our customers' data has been compromised."Alexander's heart sank as he listened to Steven's words. "What do you know about the breach? How did it happen?" he asked, his mind racing to come up with a
Alexander paused for a moment, considering his response carefully. "We've isolated the affected systems and are in the process of notifying our customers," he said.The NCCC representative nodded, making more notes. "Good. We'll need to work together to investigate the source of the breaches and take steps to prevent future attacks," the representative said.Alexander felt a sense of relief that he was not alone in dealing with the situation.

As Alexander drove to his company, his mind was racing with worry over the recent cybersecurity breach that had affected their Sterling E drive customers. He knew he had to inform his best friend and business partner Caleb immediately, so he reached for his phone and dialed Caleb's number.Caleb answered on the second ring, his voice filled with his usual cheerful greeting. "What's up, buddy?" he said.Alexander wasted no time in getting to the point. "Something's wrong, Caleb. Our Sterling E drive customers have been attacked by cybercriminals."Caleb's response was immediate and filled with disbelief. "What?" he screamed. "How is that even possible?"Alexander's heart was pounding as he explained to Caleb the gravity of the situation. "I'm on my way to the company to check the server where the breach happened," he said urgently.Caleb's voice crackled through the phone. "I'll meet you there," he said without hesitation.Alexander felt a wave of relief wash over him. He knew he could
Alexander's mind raced as he considered the implications of having to wait for outside help. He knew that every minute counted in situations like this, and the longer they waited, the greater the risk to their client's sensitive information.Caleb could see the worry etched on Alexander's face and placed a hand on his shoulder. "We'll get through this, man," he said reassuringly. "We've faced tough situations before, and we've always come out on top."Alexander forced a small smile, grateful for Caleb's words of encouragement. He knew that Caleb was right. They had built their company from the ground up, and they had faced many challenges along the way. They would face this one, too, and they would emerge stronger for it.With a renewed sense of determination, Alexander and Caleb turned their attention back to the task at hand. They would do everything in their power to protect their client's information and their company's reputation, even if it meant waiting for outside help." Let's
Alexander let out a frustrated sigh as he walked into his office, closely followed by his best friend Caleb. "Let's go to my office," he had said, and Caleb nodded in agreement.As soon as they entered the elevator, Alexander began to vent his frustrations to Caleb. "I can't believe the technician and computer engineers I hired can't even hack a cybercriminal's server," he exclaimed, his frustration evident in his voice. "After the cybercriminals stole our Sterling E Drive customers' information, we're left helpless."Caleb listened sympathetically, nodding in agreement. "It's a tough situation," he said, trying to offer some comfort to his friend.As they entered Alexander's office, Alexander walked over to his desk and slumped into his chair, while Caleb made himself comfortable on the sofa. "We need to find a solution fast," Alexander said, resting his head on his hands.Caleb nodded in agreement. "Have you considered reaching out to outside experts?" he suggested.Alexander's eyes
Upon arriving at the hospital, Caleb's body was taken to the morgue while the doctors attended to Sebastian. They performed X-rays on his hands, legs, and mouth to check for any signs of injury or trauma. Despite the discomfort and fear that Sebastian must have felt, he remained calm and cooperative throughout the examination.As the doctors finished their examination, the detectives breathed a sigh of relief. Although the ordeal was far from over, they knew that they had taken a major step towards ensuring Sebastian's safety and bringing Caleb to justice. They waited anxiously for the results of the X-rays, hoping that they would provide some answers and clues to help them solve the case once and for all.Upon arriving at Lenox Hill Hospital, Alexander was greeted by William Jones, who was waiting for him at the entrance. William led Alexander to where Sebastian was being treated inside the hospital. As they approached, Sebastian ran to his father and embraced him warmly. Alexander t
With that, the call ended, and Alexander felt a sense of relief knowing that Sebastian was going to be rescued. Alexander's phone suddenly rang, and he glanced at the caller ID, only to see Caleb's name flashing on the screen. He hesitated for a moment before answering the call. As soon as he picked up, he couldn't help but shout, "Bring my son back! Where is Sebastian?"Caleb just chuckled on the other end of the line and replied, "If you want your son back, you'll have to send me 50 billion dollars within the next two hours. If you fail to do so, I'll kill Sebastian and disappear."Alexander's heart sank at the sound of Caleb's words. "Please don't hurt my son," he pleaded. "I'll do whatever it takes to bring him back safely. Just let me speak to him."Caleb was silent for a moment before grudgingly conceding, "Fine, you can talk to him for a minute, but remember, the clock is ticking."Alexander heard Sebastian's muffled voice on the other end of the line and felt a wave of relief

Alexander's eyes widened in shock.
