"I got everything we needed," I said as I threw a file on Leo's table the next morning. He raised his head and took me in.

"You're not wearing your usual spy chic today. Why?"

"Cause I'm an actual businesswoman by day. I'm just here to give my report."

"Well, you look amazing. "

"Thank you. Now, the files." I said as I walked over to him. He picked it up and read through it. He raised his head with a smirk and then he started clapping slowly.

"This is why you're the best! This is good baby!" He got up and wrapped his arms around my waist as he kissed me. "I'm impressed again! This file just saved two of our biggest funders. The Russian President, the VP of America, they could all be dead in two days but with this! They're not going anywhere. " He moved back to his table and picked up his phone to make a call but then he stopped and turned back to me. Very slowly.

"How did you get this Soph?"

"I have my ways."

"Did you sleep with him?" He asked as he moved away in disbelief.

"I did what I thought was best then Leo." He went crazy!

"Really?! You had one order! One! Why do you always disobey me?!"

"I just really couldn't let anything happen to those people. I could care less about the funders but there would've been a ripple effect on a lot more innocent people and I couldn't let that happen. They are the reason why I do what I do "

"You have a good heart Soph, but he doesn't. I just hope for your sake that he doesn't notice that you took these."

"I'll be fine. But this is the most important reason why I'm here." I brought out a flash drive and gave it to him. He was hesitant but he took it.

"What's this?"

"Do you remember the Toliver family house break-in that happened in London last year?"

"Yeah. Broke into the house when everyone was out, emptied the safe but took nothing except the Lamden file. " Based on the smile on my face, he knew exactly what he was holding. "No way." He said as a smile started to appear on his face.

"Karrion Black had the Lamden file which meant that every world leader, mob and mafia boss was at his mercy and now we have it, this means that we are now in charge."

"It also means we're now on the target list of the original owner of the list. Andrew Toliver's great-grandfather was the original compiler of the file. He has passed this file down to each Toliver for safekeeping. Andrew became a madman when it went missing, he'll kill me if he finds out I have it now."

"Let me worry about that. Andrew has a child and wife now, he wouldn't risk getting into anything too deep because he wants to keep them safe, and Karrion, let me handle that."

"You seem to forget who Andrew Toliver is married to. She's not exactly someone you want to mess with either. Let me deal with Andrew myself and as for Karrion, I want you to stay away from him. He's dangerous."

"I can take care of myself." I checked my phone and shit! I have a business meeting at my office with two new clients. I need to go. I can't be late. "Look, I have to go but we'll talk about this later. Maybe dinner?" I said as I kissed him.

"Dinner, yes. But we're not reopening this topic again. I'll start going through the file. You should get going, you don't want to be late."

I walked into my office a few minutes later. I was met in front of my office door by my assistant, Camille.
