Chapter 80 Serious Talks With The Director Of The FBI
Alex's thoughts drifted in a direction that favored Nicole.
He was thinking if he had to get together with the rest of his wives, he would eventually be on a path to debauchery.
To find them, he would need to hit on other ladies and spend time with them, eventually getting together and also sleeping.
Though, when such a time would come, Alex would be emotionally invested in the ladies and not just sleep with them because he found their beauty to be great or if they were a big shot, like in Nicole's case.
Alex felt not even an ounce of emotional connection with Nicole.
He had no future with her and knowing this was just enough for him to not go along with what she wanted.
Alex looked at Nicole and said calmly, "I understand what you've been going through and sure it won't hurt you to hookup with me once."
Nicole's expression was lighting up as she heard that.
"But, it would actually hurt me, you know?" Alex said.
"Huh?" Nicole didn't understand.
"Let me clarify..."
Alex made Nicole understand that it sure won't hurt to hookup this once here. However, it would be completely unfair to his wives who love him unconditionally and have him as their whole world.
They had to share Alex with each other and didn't have him solely to themselves, while Alex had all of them for himself.
The least Alex could do to keep things fair for everybody was to keep himself physically and emotionally reserved for his wives.
His body and unconditional love belonged to them, is what he was thinking of.
Being explained so many things at once, Nicole could only sigh and slump on the couch.
"I sound so desperate... I am sorry..."
"It's okay." Alex said softly.
Nicole closed her eyes and silence ensued for a while.
Opening her eyes and looking at Alex, Nicole smiled and said, "you're a good man, Alex."
Alex put his palm on his chest and said, "I am honored."
Nicole got up from the couch and picking her shirt up?from the floor, she started wearing it.
"I really wished you were the first man I did it with, but things don't always go our way, do they?" Nicole turned around and asked while buttoning her shirt.
Alex nodded. "That's true."
Finishing wearing her robes, she sat back down on the couch and looking at Alex with a smile, said, "I hope I get to meet your wives someday."
Alex smiled back. "You can meet them tomorrow if you want."
"Haha, not so soon." Nicole laughed and shook her head. "They'll just make me jealous."
"Being honest, are we?" Alex smiled and asked.
"Yup. I have no shame."
Alex chuckled and then shook his head.
The two conversed for a bit more and during their talks walked out of the small room and went to another luxurious one.
Alex was seated on a comfy chair and Nicole sat beside him after handing him a cup of coffee.
"Right, there's something important I need to talk to you about."
"I am all ears." Nicole said and took a sip of her coffee.
Adding some sugar into his cup and stirring, Alex asked, "the FBI overlooks internal security right?"
Nicole nodded her head.
"So say if there was a terrorist attack that were to happen... who would be involved in this matter? You guys or the CIA or NSA?" Alex tried to steer the conversation into a serious one by asking this, despite knowing the answer himself.
Nicole took a sip again and said, "it depends where the threat is coming from. The organizations work together if it's a serious matter."
"I see." Alex said and sipped his sweet coffee.
"Why are you asking me this? Is there some problem?" Nicole put her cup down and asked.
Alex did as well and nodded his head. "There is. But before we get to it, I have a few things to discuss."
Nicole paid full attention to what Alex was saying. He was a dear friend now and she had cancelled her meetings for the coming two days just to make time for him.
"See, there's a potential attack that's going to happen soon and I'll put it bluntly: I wanna profit from it."
Nicole blinked in befuddlement and stared at Alex, wondering what he was saying.
Alex looked at her and continued, "will you help me profit? This attack that'll happen is a really deadly one that could make the economy collapse. The states won't be the number one in the world anymore."
Nicole raised her eyebrows in shock.
She got up from her chair and going right in front of Alex, put her hands on the armrests and bent down to see him eye to eye.
"Alex, do you understand what you're saying?" Nicole asked with utmost seriousness. "If it's a joke, I'm really not going to be happy."
Alex retained his calmness despite Nicole's serious reaction.
He shook his head and answered, "I am not joking."
"Come with me." Nicole took Alex's hand and took him to a secure room where nobody could peek or overhear them.
Sitting on a study table, Nicole put forward her ID in between her and Alex.
The ID read:
Office of the Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Looking at Alex with a serious gaze, Nicole said, "It's the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation you're talking to right now. Be careful with the choice of your words and I hope you don't pull any stunts that'll affect your relationship with me on a personal level."
Alex crossed his legs and laid back on the chair, completely unaffected by the domineering aura of Nicole.
He was not joking and thus had nothing to worry about.
"Director, before I get to the threat, I need confirmation for the request I made. Only then shall I proceed."
Friend or not, Alex wasn't going to falter and think of his interests first before the country's.
Nicole took out pen and paper from the drawer beside her and writing a few things on it, signed it.
"Here. This is a letter of commitment that your condition will be met."
Alex took the letter and slid it into his pant's pocket.
He then smiled and with a leisurely look, said, "the threat I was talking about, it's nothing big. It's just..."
Alex built up some suspense. He wasn't going to hand things straight to his friend because he wanted to see her varied reactions. It felt fun.
"It's...?" Nicole asked, her skin tingling with curiosity as well as anxiety, knowing the country might get attacked.
Alex smiled. "...it's just that the White House will be attacked in a few weeks."
Nicole felt a chill hearing that.
She would've been really shocked had she not gotten into her professional work lady mode.
Being the Director, she had seen many such things before and an attack of such a degree, although rare, wasn't something she hadn't heard of.
Nicole took a sip of water and trying to stay calm, looked Alex in the eyes.
Her Blessed aura erupted out at this moment and Alex felt slightly suffocated due to the suppression.
"Dr. Alexander Gray, because I know you and we are good friends, I'll give you one chance. One chance to say this was a joke and I'll pretend this conversation never took place."
Nicole still wasn't sure of this threat that Alex mentioned.
He was just a twenty-one year old adult.
He probably might've thought it would be fun to prank her like this since she was the Director.
It was for this reason did Nicole not show any exaggerated reactions and maintained a calm look.
She didn't want Alex to get into any trouble since he was a genuinely amazing person she had ever met.
She had a soft spot for him in her heart and it would hurt her to see Alex land into prison for his stunts.
Alex's smile was wiped off as he heard that. He broke the cross-legged position and leaning forwards, stared straight into Nicole's eyes with a serious gaze.
"If you do not believe me, I'll just walk away. I can achieve what I want to even without involving myself with the Feds or the government, Miss Director."
Nicole knitted her brows. Alex's words sounded cold, but this was what she needed right now.
His cold words made the atmosphere serious and gave her the assurance she needed that he really wasn't joking.
Leaning back on her chair and retracting her aura, she made the atmosphere less tense.
Alex smiled and leaned back as well, knowing what Nicole's answer was.
"Let's get down to business then, Dr. Gray. Give me the details."
