ZACHARY

I stood at the end of the hologram pad, setting up training routines for the newbies while Diamond was picking out weapons for them. We were conversing like people do when a thought came to mind.

"What's that gala Kristopher had been talking about?"

She gave me a side glance before turning back to the wall that had weapons mounted on, "It's a charity gala. The company Rylow Enterprises who's actually Chequered Rose is holding it and they invited gangs from all over the country to attend."

"So obviously, you and the twins are going. Who else?" I asked and she answered, "You and Mark. Sam was supposed to come but his dad's still in the hospital."

I let out an 'oh' and continued to switch up sessions in the routine.

"Where's the charity going to?"

She moved an AK from the 'NAY' section into the 'YAY' section using the control panel on the counter against the wall, "It's going to an African gang that wants to help their country."

"Who're we going as?"

"Estrada Agency Holdings."

I raised an eyebrow and she clarified, "EAH."

"Wait, as in the EAH?"

She nodded and my jaw dropped. I'm such a dumbass. How did I not connect her family to the EAH?

If you're wondering about this company, well let me tell you. It's only one of the biggest companies in finance and security. They branched all across the world, everyone knows EAH.

When the company first started up in 1989, the same year the gang was created by James and Rebecca Estrada, it skyrocketed in the financial industry before branching into security.

The name 'Estrada Agency Holdings' is famous in the industry, but if you mention 'EAH' on the streets, ears prick up. But I guess it's good for the Estradas to lay low with their name.

That's why no one at school really can connect her name or face to the company, I think. So I'm not that dumb.

"By the way, Kris, KT, and I are going to the Ivory Eagle's company to sign an alliance on Friday. We need you to work with Mark and the others to watch over the gang when we're gone."

I hummed and saved the file before moving it to the center of the pad, "How's this?"

She turned around and skimmed through the routine, "It's good. Nice job."

She gave me a smile and I returned it before closing it. I went to her and wrapped my arms around her waist, placing my head on her shoulder, and pressing soft kisses on her neck.

"Zach, stop," she said, stifling giggles. I nibbled lightly on her skin, "No."

"Zach, I still have things to do. You're distracting me."

"You can spare fifteen minutes for me."

"No, I can't."

I grumbled jokingly against her neck, "You don't care about me anymore."

"If you don't stop, I won't actually care about you."

Pressing one more kiss to her throat, I pulled away and leaned on the hologram pad, "What else do you need me to do?"

She hummed before answering, "Find a suit for the gala. If you want, we could match."

I nodded and kissed her temple before pressing the hologram pad and started to search for a suit online.
