"Chairman Armand, I know you have the power and resources to handle Gregory Marks but both Eli and Milan will be scathed in the end.
I leaned forward slightly, trying to gauge his reaction. "Eli was [laced in the company with a specific agenda—he has been used as a mole and stole all the trade secrets for Armand Inc.
He groaned and responded. "You already knew it and hired him.
"Exactly," I said, feeling the weight of the situation settles heavily on my shoulders. "If I had not hired him, Gregory would not have let him off."
He took a sip of his drink, the glass clinking softly against the table. "I had not thought about it."
"It's not easy to steal from Armand Inc., and Eli is smart, he will never attempt to. I know he has his plans, and I ask you to share them with me so that I can pave the way for whatever he wants to do.
He nodded slowly, his gaze thoughtful. "I told you before, he wants to leave Utah. "
