His Plump Mate (Book 1: The 'His' Series) novel Chapter 659

Sinclair POV

After breakfast, Angelo and I went back to the lab. “Thanks for standing up for me,” Angelo said.

“You need to learn to stand up for yourself, Angelo. I will help you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I need some help at the other server areas today. I am going to work on the bank account information for Julian first,” I said, smirking.

“You mean creating the information,” he chuckled.

“Pretty much. Alpha Aiden will want to speak to you before letting you join Blackstone,” I said quietly.

“Okay. Should I be nervous?”

“No. He will know whether you are telling the truth. So just tell him the truth.”

“That won’t be a problem.”

“Good. Now, I need to implant some software with a timed release in the other two server areas. I need a reason to get in.”

“I can handle that part,” Angelo said.

“Thank you. Also, I have another item I’m working on, and it will be initiated in two weeks.”

“Okay, need-to-know basis or something?” he asked.

“Until I finalize the layout, yeah.”

“Okay. In the meantime, replace the GPS module in those trackers. They are not catching a good signal. I have plans for those. Make sure the communication modem is in stealth mode. Also, add an accelerometer to those; it will be helpful in the future.”

“Are you planning on giving this pack leverage or something?”

I chuckled. “No. That will be for us later.”

He shrugged his shoulders. “Okay.”

After he walked away, I opened my laptop and started updating the virus information to reach other devices connected offsite from the pack. After that was finished, I deployed the virus to the main server room and set a delayed release for the day after I leave. I’m going to convince Julian to let Angelo leave with me that day to meet some contacts for future collaborations. That way Angelo thinks he will have backup help.

Once I completed those tasks, I started working on setting up Condor. I am going to return a portion of the money to Julian. Not enough to cause damage, but enough to keep his pack afloat. I see the constant tension in his eyes. While I don’t give a fuck about him, I know this will get him to trust me.

I compile the information and then put it in a folder. It’s time to start my phased plan. I put my laptop in my bag. I have the gaming controller in the mesh, and it’s timed to record in fifteen minutes.

“Angelo, tell Julian I'm on my way to his office to discuss Condor.”

“Sure thing.”

I nodded and walked out of the lab. As I was walking towards Julian’s office, I saw the two warriors standing post at the entrance. They look beat up. Oh, well. They saw me and looked at me with pure hatred. I couldn’t care less, though.

I knocked on Julian’s door, and once he said to come in, I entered his office. Standing there was Ronan. I rolled my eyes. “Should I come back later?”

He lunged at me, but I dodged him and punched him in the throat. I towered over him and sneered. “Never come after me, Ronan. I’m not someone you can kill easily, but each time you try, I debilitate you a little more. Remember that,” I said, then looked at Julian. “Did the transfer complete?”

Julian looked at his phone and smiled. “Yes. Thank you, Sinclair,” then he looked at Ronan. “Your money has been sent. Leave.”

Ronan got up, and before he walked out, Julian called out, “Ronan, Sinclair is under my protection. Mind yourself in the future. I don’t want our partnership to turn…sour.”

Ronan’s lips twitched like he wanted to sneer. “She is not your ally, Julian.”

With that, he turned on his heel and stormed out of the office. I looked at Julian and laughed.

"Duh? Of course I’m not your ally. I’m a contractor. That’s it.”

Julian’s eyes went a little dim. I raised an eyebrow. “I’d like to think we will be allies in the future, Sinclair.”

“That’s an extraordinary hope, Julian. I told you, I want to disappear. When my job is done, that is exactly what I intend to do. Or are you catching feelings for me now?”

Julian’s eyes went tight with embarrassment. Fuck. He is catching feelings. Nope. Not going there.

“You were amazing today, Sinclair. You defended a pack member like you were a Luna. You followed my lead and advised me on pack matters regarding pack members. You were not afraid to stand up to the warriors either. You can’t blame me for thinking you would be the kind of woman I would like to have by my side,” he replied.

“I’m doing what any decent person should do, Julian. That doesn’t make me Luna material. Honestly, you should search for your fated mate. Then you can stop having fantasies about me. I no longer want a mate bond with anyone. I just want to be left the hell alone.”

I grabbed my laptop and laptop bag. As I was walking out the door, Julian said behind me. “I’ll change your mind, Sinclair.”
