"Is this how you welcome your new boss? By showing up late? The nerve you have to disrespect me in front of the whole office, Mrs. Arora. If I didn't respect your previous boss, I would have thought he pitied people like you to hand over any positio...
"What the hell did you think your doing? Do you realize how much of a problem you have created for her and even us as well?" Elias said.
"How was I supposed to know that he never got a chance to check his mark on her? I just wanted to know if he truly did love her so I was just checki-"
"Their love live has nothing to do with you! Do you even know how badly you messed up? Just for your stupid curiosity? It's going to alert the system that someone accessed another kinds territory. Fuck, Eva. You both aren't even under the same jurisdiction. Aryaan and Adrian, even though their friends, own the most powerful empires in the world. Which are both independent. And their friendship isn't even known to the whole underworld. You, of all people should know that. I'm going to have to cover up the tracks before people start getting suspicious. Thanks a lot, cagna." he growled.
"I'm sorry." she apologetically said and then nodded over to the now sleeping form of Ira.
"It's the 1st stage effects of the mark being discovered after it was put. It will wear off in half an hour or so. It would have been more severe if Aryaan was the one to discover it. Riana will be here soon and we can ask her to help place her in the car. We don't know how long it will take for Adrian to arrive. In the meantime fix her clothes and take those pictures in her hand. Also put the symbolicar back in you room. We don't need any more trouble with that and make sure you restore it."
They both finished their work and met back upstairs in the room Ira was kept. The doorbell rang and Elias ran downstairs to get it. Riana stood there with her 7 month old baby in her hands.
"Oh, it's so good to see you! How have you been, Elias? Did you scare away all the staff?" she laughed as she looked around the house to see where they were.
"Good to see you as well, Riana. How's little Isaac doing here?" he said while pinching his chubby cheeks. In response Isaac smiled back at his gesture and started wiggling around in his mothers grip.

"He's doing finee. I'm the one who's so sleep deprived. This little monster is literally nocturnal. I wish he would understand that I'm not though." she sighed.
Her long blonde hair that was put up into a messy bun was on the verge of collapsing; clothes that she once always made sure were proper and neat were now disheveled and splotched with baby food. Nobody would have been able to guess that her occupation was actually an assassin.
Elias led her upstairs into one of the guest bedrooms and offered to hold Isaac. Which Riana wasted no time in handing over.
"Ira would have loved to see him but she's currently knocked out at the moment." Elias said.
Isaac at that time had taken Elias's Christ chain and shoved it into his mouth.
"Oh, that poor girl. I wish she hadn't found out about Aryaan's dealings through the death of her colleague. They seemed like a nice couple. And it was easier being around him without having to worry about being shot. Well the possibilities were still there but it wasn't as lik--"
"We need your help with something. Eva accidently activated Ira's mark and it was the first time. I tried covering up who's turned on but it won't let me. What am I supposed to do?" he questioned.
"I'll help you with whatever you want as long as you take care of him." she pointed towards Isaac who had now taken Elias's face as his next slobber victim.
"Yeah, okay. And thanks. You know where to go. Should I take Isaac with me? Eva and Ira are going to leave with me in a few minutes. Adrian will be arriving soon."
"Of course. Take him with you if you want. I'll complete your work and then stay to talk about some business with Adrian. I have to go back to his office anyway. Also if you do take him, please drop him off at my house no later then 7 if you can or I'll send someone to pick him up." she said as she yawned.
Seeing her state Elias thought it would be best if he would take him even though he barely knew how to handle babies.
15 minutes later: Eva was holding Isaac in her arms with a now half awake Ira next to her while Elias drove them away to Ira's house.
