Touching the Heart of Ace novel Chapter 33

??Baby! He is eating ??my?? cutlets!??

??You said you are full.??

??I am full, ??now??. I wanted to take it for lunch tomorrow.??

Really? Really Robbie???!!!

??I will make you fresh in the morning.??

??But...??

??Robbie. Enough!??

I patted Jason on his back. ??Want some more???

He nodded enthusiastically. I put the last one on his plate. ??How about I make a few more, eat slowly, Jace.??

??Love you, Dave. You make the best food. I feel like I haven??t eaten in ages.??

??Yeah, you eat like that too.?? Robbie snarled.

??Robbie. Stop it! Eat all you want, Jace, I will make more.?? Robbie should stop picking on Jason, the poor guy was hungry. Was that a crime?

I turned around just in time to Jason sticking his gross tongue out to Robbie. ??Jason!!! BEHAVE!??

I huffed. I should have just taken them out for dinner than trying to make them happy with my cooking.

??Baby, I want one too.??

I frowned. ??Robbie you are full.??

??I am hungry now, I want your delicious cutlet.??

Then they started competing to compliment my cooking, until they were screaming at each other. So, I started cooking two, four, six then I stopped counting.

Twin groans came from the living room of Robbie??s penthouse as I did the dishes.

??I can??t breathe.??

??I can??t move.??

I wished if I could pull up one ounce of fuck to give but oh well!

??Angel!!! Rub my chest.?? I face palmed! Why???

??Dave, my stomach is aching, press here.?? Jason screamed as I rubbed Robbie??s chest.

Then Robbie wanted me rub his back and Jason was having a headache.

So, I locked them out of the bedroom demanding them to rub each other down. They were now sulking in the living room watching some kind of sports!

I could not believe these two were the one who made a business tycoon faint in the conference!

They were together working like a well-oiled engine during the meeting, but could not stand each other out of business.

It was not funny; I was having a headache.

The back stabbing asshole Moretti was behind all of Robbie??s business related issues. He had the nerve to accuse me of framing him... which was true but... he had no right to call me out on that. Well, that made no sense.

He started spitting and calling names when I did not raise to his anger.

??I am only showing you the evidence, sir. I know nothing else.??

??Evidence!!! This is your evidence??? I do not know any hackers!!!??

??Kid, how do you know this is your hacker. It could be anyone. The information in internet and computers are like throwing dust to the wind.??

??No, sir. It is not like that.??

??WHAT!!! YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!??

I sighed. ??Related to this issue? Yes.?? I glared right back! I was bluffing but he was scared and fear was a good offensive strategy. He would dig his own his own grave if I could rile him up with a simple question.

??I would use the analogy of walking through wet sand. We feel like it is not decipherable to know the source of hacking because normally there would be so many foot prints. But when we can eliminate unneeded, unfitting footprints and follow then we can reach their ??residence?? for lack of better word. Then it is like searching their home, and even if we do not know how that person looks like if he is not home, we can have all the evidence of his activity and then... we wait... for the person to come home, if he ever comes that is. If he is smart, he will not come back. Then we don??t get the person but we know who he is and what he did. Are you following me??? I winced, slightly at lose. It was difficult to explain without adding technical terms and this was all I could bring up.

I felt small.

??That is very... insightful, Kid. Please tell us more. So, you know the ??place???

??Yes, sir. And I found who he was having ??conversations?? with and how much he knew about all of you.??

??All of us??? Charles squeaked.

??You know it, Sir.?? That man was no innocent. I had no idea why Jason wanted Moretti on the burning end.

??YOU!!! TAKE YOUR COMPUTER SHIT ELSEWHERE! I DID NOT DO IT!!!?? Moretti was sweating like a pig.

??I will break your finger if you don??t take it off his face.?? Robbie talked looking at his nails. ??Ace, come here. Sit next to me.?? I gulped; almost ran to him and sat next; almost behind him.??

I was not shaking only because of my will power.

??Since it is your first time and you are panicking to cover your stinking ass, I will let this go. But Mr. Moretti, one more time you shout at him or raise your finger pointing at him, there will be no warning.??

??You! Brantley! You believe this kid! Over me? We have been together in this for so long! And... and... you believe him??? You are joking! I have no idea what happened at that firm. I swear to God.??

??I am not telling you did that yourself, Mr. Moretti.??

I knew that man wanted to shout at me again but he was scared of Robbie. So, I continued. ??But you hired a hacker gave him all the sensitive information, authorized him to do whatever it takes to burn Robert??s empire to ashes. And it is not the first time.??

The man was turning white.

??That is all I know. So, we have our reasons to believe it is you. You can start explaining yourself. If it is not you, I still have another four names; but you are the primary suspect.??

Absolute silence. Robbie was still busy with his nails.
