Dayo returned home after a long week of stress.
The discovery that Silas had planted operatives around his executives had consumed almost every waking hour of the past several days. Meetings, investigations, contingency planning, security reviews. It felt as though every screen he looked at carried another problem waiting for him.
He had been angry.
Beyond angry.
He had been genuinely scared.
The thought that people he trusted people he considered family had unknowingly been watched for months was something he could not ignore. The moment the truth came out, he immediately arranged security details for every executive despite their protests.
Valerie complained.
Wayne complained.
Urich complained the loudest.
None of it mattered.
Dayo made it mandatory and when they continued arguing, he simply informed them that they could either accept the protection or take an indefinite leave of absence until the threat was gone.
