Chapter 2078 - Chloe And The Chaos Family (3)

Sarah and Aiden entered the VIP room with grim expressions.

Sarah sat on the sofa and Aiden gave her a glass of water.

The room was silent for a minute while Sarah sipped water and contemplated what to do with the information Suvedini just dumped on them.

With Eve-lens and ear stud, Noah was aware of what happened in the conference room, and based on the mood, Chloe understood that it's something important, so she was quiet as well.

Eventually, Sarah spoke, "Noah, I want us to increase security to all our mines in Africa. Triple it. We will ask Angelo for support."

"You believe what Suvedini said?", Aiden asked. "She said that she has no hidden agenda and that she came here to warn us because she feels guilty for deceiving us, but what if she was lying? This might be a test by the Council, or a diversion from their real attack."

Sarah couldn't deny that Suvedini coming to the Chaos nightclub might be a test or a trap. It's difficult to trust a person who deceived you once. Sure, the readings on Eve-lens showed that Suvedini was telling the truth, but she could be a skillful liar as well.

However, if this was not a game set up by the Council, ignoring Suvedini's warning could have catastrophic consequences Sarah was not willing to risk.

"I'm not sure what to believe in.", Sarah admitted. "People working in mines are not soldiers. They are civilians with families, and I don't want to risk their safety. At the same time, by verifying information Suvedini gave us, some of the broken trust might be retrieved."

"Agreed.", Aiden confirmed his support of Sarah's decision.

Sarah was happy that Aiden has her back. He always does.

The Army of Chaos is standing firm because they prioritize people and their wellbeing, and not only soldiers and people in management, but miners as well.

Sarah glanced at Noah who nodded in agreement, and Sarah started issuing instructions, "Let's get Mishi and his team to keep an eye on Rance and Albert and see what they are up to. I hope this didn't come too late and that we can avoid casualties. We will treat this as a practice until we verify if the threat is real."

Aiden got his phone and moved to the side so that he can talk. "I'm calling Mishi. We can also ask Ellie to help with gathering information."

Sarah approved the idea of involving Ellie and spoke to Noah who was sending messages related to Sarah's previous instructions. "Noah, raise alertness to level 2. We are to assume that hostile units are preparing an attack."

"Hostile units?", Chloe blurted out. She was nervous and Sarah's words sounded like a war is starting.

Sarah looked at Chloe with a complex expression. "That is how we call the ones who want to attack us. Noah can fill you in."

"How much am I allowed to disclose?", Noah asked Sarah.

"Chloe is your fiancée, and you know her best. Keeping her in the dark will not do you any good, and by allowing her to participate, she will get to find out what we have going on here."

"How can I participate?", Chloe asked while her eyes darted from Noah to Sarah. She has no war-worthy skills.

"You will work with me.", Noah responded. "There is a chance that all this is just a false alarm, but you will get to see our people ready to defend what is ours. As someone who is good with numbers and organization, you can help me allocate units."

"Oh…", a sound escaped Chloe's lips and she smiled. The idea that she can help out made her a bit proud of herself, like she is a part of something big… and she can make a difference. 

"I assume that meetings for the rest of the evening are canceled.", Noah said while looking at Sarah.

"Correct. Cancel everything and let's put the safety of our mines as a priority, however, I don't want to compromise on defenses of our bases. There is a chance that the information we received is false, or maybe it's a half-truth."

Aiden ended his call with Mishi and reminded Sarah, "I will get people from the White family to work on securing our locations in the United States. Steve, Charlie, and Jasper can help as well, and let's not forget that Lebedevs and Voronins are available."

Sarah's smile widened as Aiden spoke. "You are right. Our people here and in Europe will be safe. I hope that reinforcements to the mines will not be too late. I will call Sophia so that she gets into the planning. We need to figure out from where the attacks will come and not act too soon. I want us to do this without rising too much dust. If they notice we are expecting them, Rance might decide to delay his attacks and hit us when we lower our guard. I don't want us to lose people because we missed something…"

"We are not late.", Aiden said with confidence. "Remember that Suvedini said how Albert will act first to distract us? Things in Europe are still peaceful, so we have time."

"I hope that's the case…"

…

From the Chaos nightclub, Chloe went with Noah to the main base of the Army of Chaos.

Everything was eerily quiet and if Igor didn't wait for them in the hallway with a report on current status, Chloe would imagine that there is no one present or that people she met earlier that day were sleeping.

Chloe and Noah went to Noah's office first, and Chloe found a neatly folded black uniform waiting for her.

Noah unlocked the handcuffs. "Change first, and then we will get to work."

Chloe understood that she will get to work after getting ready. Since they left the Chaos nightclub, Noah was on the phone, issuing orders and reading reports on his tablet.

She gazed at her now free wrist and then her eyes moved toward the handcuffs. It sounded ridiculous, but in a way, she missed being tied up to Noah.

He noticed that Chloe's eyes lingered on the handcuffs which he kept on the side table.

"Are you missing them, my little rabbit?"

Chloe was not sure how to respond to this. It's not that she was missing being handcuffed, but she didn't want to separate from Noah. His proximity meant safety and when they were apart her insecurities bubbled to the surface.

"Is it a bad thing that I want to be close to you?", Chloe asked.

Noah was happy to hear Chloe's response. Ah, his little rabbit is opening up!

"I'm not going anywhere but this is serious work, and it will be more convenient if we don't hinder each other's movements. I promise to stay in your visual range." He pulled her in his embrace and spoke close to her ear. "Members of the Army of Chaos know the procedures. Our work in organizing things shouldn't take more than two hours. After that, I will be happy to handcuff you again. To me. Or to the bed."

He thought that she will push him away or protest, but to his surprise, Chloe hugged him tightly and asked in a whisper, "Is that a promise?"

In an instant, his shaft shot North and stretched his pants.

"Damn it, my little rabbit…", he took her hand in his and guided it to his erection. "Look what you are doing to me. How am I supposed to focus on the safety of people in Africa when all my thoughts are about ravaging you?"

Chloe buried her face in his chest to hide her intense blush. She was surprised by her own thoughts about how she wanted Noah to… ravage her.

She took a minute to compose herself before speaking, "We have work to do. Help me change."

Well, she was not sure how much she can help, but she was aware that Noah will not do any work until she is ready.

"Are you sure it's wise to let me undress you?", Noah asked with a chuckle.

Chloe pouted defiantly. "Fine, then wait outside…"

"No, no…", Noah protested. "I will help and... watch."

Noah didn't expect that his little rabbit will bite back like that. Did she just threaten to kick him out of his own office? Chloe was coming out of her shell and he liked it.

Chloe giggled and turned her back to Noah. "Help me with the zipper..."
