Chapter 13:
Steffy and Thomas are sitting in their joint office at S.T. Marone after a lovely lunch with their grandfather Massimo. Charlotte brought Douglas and Phoebe, Steffy had Amelia bring Kelly and Hayes since Finn had to work. Now that lunch was over Steffy and Thomas has a lot of work to get to. Steffy was shifting uncomfortably in her chair, "You OK?" Thomas inquires.
"Yeah, lunch just isn't sitting right with me."
"You've been hanging out with Charlie a lot, she's been having a mild stomach bug, she may have passed it to you."
"I'll be fine." Steffy assures her brother. There is a knock at their office door, just then Priya walks in, she is their head of IT. Priya was a brilliant young woman in her mid twenties from New Delhi. When they saw her resume they just knew they had to hire her. She graduated top of her class at her university in New Delhi, she's worked all over the world and decided she wanted to settle in Los Angeles. Her first love was tech, but she also loved fashion, so S.T. Marone seemed like her dream job. Plus her and Steffy hit it off immediately and became the best of friends.
"Hey Steffy, Mr. Marone."
"Priya, we've been working together over 6 months now, just call me Thomas."
"Apologies, Thomas. I just discovered something I think the both of you need to see immediately."
Thomas and Steffy can both see the urgency in Priya's face, she places her laptop on the table in the office and opens it. "What are we looking at?" Steffy asks.
"Someone has been trying to hack into our system." Thomas and Steffy's eyes get wide and their jaws drop. "I haven't been able to determine who it is, but I've been able to stop them from getting whatever it is they're looking for." Priya explains.
