Captivation: Want Nothing But You

"M-Mr.Sullivan we… We tried our best."

The director of the technology department was barely holding back tears as he spoke.

The people who worked in this department in the Sullivan Group were the best of the best.

They hardly ever failed or made mistakes.

Except for now.

The flawless security system they'd designed had been so easily hacked into that it looked like the hacker had enjoyed themselves.No one had even noticed when the system had been breached.

But worst of all, they still couldn't track down the hacker, no matter how hard they tried.

In all the director's long years of working in the technology industry, he'd never seen something like this before.

It was supposed to be impossible to hack into the Sullivan Group's security system.

But apparently it wasn't that impossible, because someone had managed to get it right.

"That's not the answer I was looking for," Victor said blandly.

"I want to make this very clear to everyone; the Sullivan Group has no room for incompetent employees.Seeing as you and your people can't find the hacker, I have no need for you lot.I suggest you all leave.Now."

"Mr.Sullivan…"

The director's eyes widened in horror.He studied Victor's face, looking for the slightest trace of mercy.But he found none.

Only his hardened expression and a cold light glimmering behind his eyes.

He swallowed the rest of his words and bowed his head.

He managed to choke out a feeble, "Yes, sir," before he turned and left the office.

The atmosphere in the office was oppressive and cold once the director had left.

As Ivan watched the director leave, he felt his heart start pounding in his chest.

This was going to be a problem.

He was never going to be get any sleep.

It had taken him three whole days to find perfect candidates to replace Alice and Wilson's positions of director of personnel department, and manager of public relations department.
