Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: A Timer

Damian and Vanessa sat across from Dmitri, smiles tugging at their lips. Strange, really—what began as them being practically ’kidnapped’ had somehow led here.

And right now, they found themselves thanking whatever god they believed in for it.

How else would they have gotten this opportunity?

Their job was simple, their old ’friend’ Lillian was entering the big leagues as she was now the COO of the fastest growing company in the US.

All they had to do was dig up her past, drag her traumas into the light, stain her name and by extension, OmniTech Corp’s and the payout would be handsome.

The silver lining to this was that they’d have eventually heard of her success and they would have done the exact same thing....but for free.

"W-we want to thank you once again, Mr. Volkov," Vanessa stuttered out. Dmitri still intimidated her so she was sure to thread carefully.

Dmitri leaned back on his chair, his eyes never leaving the two. Now, he could’ve used threats to get them to do what he wanted but it seemed these two greedy foxes worked better when motivated.

Their shared past with OmniTech’s COO made them a useful pawn in Nathaniel’s game.

Giving them a small smile, he started, "what were the results?"

Their job this time was simple, poke Lillian just enough to see how she’d react to the past visiting her. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"It seems she’s not over what happened yet, so this should be easy enough," Damian explained, going into the details of the phone call, "though, she might’ve gotten herself a feisty guard dog but it’s nothing we can’t handle."

"Good then," Dmitri said in his Russian accent, "just know that there will be consequences if you fail."

"O-of course," Damian let out, forcing a grin that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

Beside him, Vanessa nodded quickly, clutching her purse as though it were some kind of shield.

Dmitri’s gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment longer before he leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. His smile never leaving his face, but there was no warmth in it.

"You should understand something, yes?" he said softly, his Russian accent coming out even more, which made his words somehow even more terrifying, "I and my employer have a reputation to uphold, we can’t be known for working with failures now can we?"

"N- no," they shook their heads, "we won’t fail."

"Good," Dmitri leaned back, "you’ll have half the pay before the day ends, you can leave now."

This sparked the light of greed back in their eyes, "t-thank you."

With that, the scrambled to their feet and out of Dmitri’s office.

His gaze never left their backs as he watched them basically run out his office, his expression took a darker look as they left.

He had dug into the two and if one thing was for certain, they’ll do anything for money. Now, he wasn’t judging them or anything like that as he wasn’t much different, but unlike him, they were liabilities.

As long as they price was right or mouth watering enough, they’d even risk betraying him. Therefore, they had to be disposed of after they served their purpose.

If not, they’d just be walking loose ends and Dmitri hated loose ends.
