Chapter 3
"Mr Klar," Matteo teased. "Is that what she calls you when you are on her?" He smiled.
This bastard! Stephan thought with a grin.
"Think about it all you want."
"I would rather die, than imagine you doing you know what."
They both laughed at the thought forgetting about the fact that they had just lost 5 million dollars. They weren't moved by the loss, not because of anything, but because they were billionaires and a couple of millions was something they could make back in a week.
"I always knew something was wrong with her," Matteo said kissing his teeth.
"Yeah," Stephan sighed. It wasn't news that she was sleeping with Matteo and him. She was playing a dangerous game, she even believed in that cunning head of hers that they didn't know about it. Women!
They both knew about it, and at some point joked about it, there was no hard feelings, as long as they both got what they wanted from her, not like she was forced. It was purely her decision. Stephan did get bored of her last two months and had stopped marveling at her advances, maybe that was where her head got screwed, Stephan thought.
Probably Jerome was giving her a new style and she felt it was worth it.
Well it wasn't, Stephan concluded.
They both stared at the door as it squeaked open slowly as Elizabeth walked in.
"Am sorry Sir, I didn't know you had company," she apologized. She walked in closing the door behind. "I was in the neighborhood when I got your call," she explained for her early entry. "How much did Jerome Grey pay you?" Stephan asked not wasting time.
Elizabeth eyes widened at the sudden outburst, she was taken aback, and couldn't believe what Stephan was asking her right now.
"I don't know what you are talking about Sir!"
Stephan stared at Matteo who seemed to be busy staring at Elizabeth's butt, as her back was facing him. Stephan couldn't blame him, she was wearing a really tight yellow mini gown and a blue jacket over it. One little bend from her, and Stephan could swear that he would spot her panties, that was if she was wearing any.
She was probably on a mission to seduce him but didn't imagine Matteo would be here.
"My footage didn't say so."
"Footage?" Elizabeth looked perplexed or rather she tried to pretend to be.
"What is it going to be? I play the footage and call the police on you, or you..." Stephan trailed off as she fell on the ground instantly.
"I was threatened," she confessed.
Matteo smiled secretly at Stephan, there was no footage or evidence, just a good old strategy that worked always. The thought of someone watching them was something a lot of people feared.
"He threatened me and my family," she added clasping her hands together in front of Stephan. "I swear! I didn't mean to Sir," she sobbed.
"When did he threaten? Was it when he was on you or when you were on him?"
Elizabeth turned to stare at Matteo shocked by his input as Stephan laughed inwardly realizing that Matteo probably had something about them being intimate, or maybe he didn't.

"I didn't mean to, I thought if I did he will let me be," she agreed already in tears.
Stephan found it hilarious, he didn't know if it was the cold stare Matteo had on his face right now, or the fact that this was just too easy. Stephan had thought she would deny it, that they did have to go back and forth, maybe he did get angry and snap.
"I want you to send him our new collection," Stephan ordered. She nodded slowly realizing that she didn't have much options in the current situation.
"I won't fire you or hand you over to the police, as long as you do as I say."
"Thank you Sir," she bowed her head so low Stephan could bet it touched the ground.
"Send it to him now!" Stephan ordered as she stood up with shaking legs bowing her head to Stephan and Matteo. She brought out her phone as Stephan signalled her to come sit on his lap.
"Come here!" Stephan tapped his lap then opened his hand for her to come.
She stared at Matteo then back at Stephan, she approached him and sat on his lap slowly. Stephan removed the hair on her face and tucked it behind her ear slowly, as he felt her shiver from his touch. He stared at her phone as she logged into his website with ease.
How did she get the passcode? Stephan wanted to ask, but, then he remembered he didn't have any concentrate evidence and he wondered how that would sound. It didn't matter, she had confessed.
"So who gave you the passcode? I don't remember you being a hacker."
"A...a friend of mine."
"This friend doesn't have a name?"
"Dawn."
Dawn Hemlocks," Stephan said the name in full. She nodded her head slowly in sign of yes.
Stephan didn't see that one coming, maybe that naive little girl was not so naive after all. Not only had she helped someone rip him of his money, but, she also helped someone else steal his craft. From the way she had sounded when he had interrogated her she sounded naive and unaware of the situation.
"Alongside June, right?" Matteo said pressing his phone. Stephan could hear the sound coming from his phone and figured he was playing Candy crush. Crazy!
Elizabeth nodded, she copied the files from the website into a folder and sent it to Jerome Grey's email.
"Good girl," Stephan commended. her phone started ringing instantly.
Jerome Grey.
"Loud speaker love," Stephan ordered sweetly as she obeyed.
My love," Stephan heard the imbecile voice echo. "That was so quick. I thought you said you did send it tomorrow."
You don't say, Stephan thought. So she had planned to send it to Jerome.
"I.. yes...I wanted to surprise you," she replied in a shaking voice.
"I loved it so much, don't worry tonight I will make it up to you," He replied and Stephan could tell he was happy.
