"Why did he go back?" Andrew frowned. Samuel going back to Russia all of a sudden did not make sense as the tension between the two brothers was slowly getting intense.

"I don't know, I thought you knew something about it—" Even Owen found it quite weird when he heard the news.

Keeping quiet for a while, he inquired, "Did you find out why he left?"

"Not yet," Owen answered. "Could it be that he changed his mind?" He was still sceptical about them helping Samuel deal with his brother.

Pausing for a while, he asked, "Andrew, do you think we can really trust him?" Though he had agreed to help him because Andrew and Justin thought it waa not a bad idea, he was still very unsure. With all the history they had with the Petrovs, it was very hard to trust them.

"Owen, in this business, do you think we can trust anyone?" When he shook his head, Andrew added," Yeah so we work with him like we work with others. We give him a loose edge but we won't stop keeping an eye on him."

"Of course, I will never stop doing that," Owen stated. His men were still keeping a close eye on Samuel and all the people he was associated with.

"I have one more piece of news." Without waiting for Andrew's reply, he remarked, "Do you know who else is in town? Snoopy."

"Oh is it?" Andrew acted dumb, pretended he was hearing it for the first time.

"Yes, at first I was quite surprised too but later I found out that he has already left Igor's side," Owen exclaimed. "And I think he has joined hands with Samuel and is working for him now."

Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "Ever since you and Justin left Russia, everything is so weird. New rivalry between the Petrov brother's and Igor's loyal dog leaving his side—"

"Why do you think Snoopy left Igor's side?" Andrew curiously inquired. Since Joshua refused to tell him what the reason one, he wanted to hear what were Owen's thought about the whole matter.

"Well, it could be a lot of things—" Owen shrugged. "That shithead finally realized that I will definitely kill him some day if he continued to stay by Igor's side or Igor found out about the affair."

"Affair?" Andrew raised his brows.

"Huh? You don't know?" When he shook his head, Owen scoffed, "Do you even read the messages I send in our group?"

Without waiting for his answer, he added, "Anyway, I am talking about Snoopy and Katherine Hollick Petrov's affair."

"What?" Andrew was taken aback by the new found information. "Since when? And how did you find out?"

"I don't know when it started a couple of years ago, I bumped into them while they were doing it against the bathroom door of the ladies restroom." Owen then smacked his arm. "I told you and Justin about it in our group chat."

"Maybe I missed it, but wait—" Andrew frowned. "What were you doing in the ladies room?"

"Do you really wanna know?" Owen raised his brows at him.

"No, forget it." Even without knowing the reason, it wasn't hard to guess it was something nasty.

"Anyway, I just ignored them at that time because well—I didn't wanna disturb them." he shrugged. "I hate that guy and the Petrovs but you gotta let the man and woman finish. Everyone deserves a complete orgasm."

"So are you saying that he left Igor's side because he is in love with their sister?"

"What else could be the reason?" Owen was pretty sure that Snoopy's bold move to leave Igor's side was directly related to the secret affair he had with the sister.

"That makes sense now," Andrew muttered. After learning about the affair, he could finally join the pieces together. He had assumed since the very beginning that Joshua had left Russia out of wedlock because of personal reasons. Since his family was definitely not the reason, love made a lot of sense.

"No no, it doesn't make sense," Owen remarked. "Not after you hear the later part of the story."

"What later apart?"

"This is very intimate information. The Petrov's haven't leaked it yet so don't ask me how I found out. Katherine is engaged to someone else and their wedding is scheduled next year." When Andrew frowned, Owen chuckled, "Interesting, right? So my guess is, Snoopy left Igor's side and joined hands with Samuel because he wants to drag his former boss down to marry the love of his life without any kind of disturbance or interruption."

Kee[ing quiet for a while, Andrew inquired, "Owen, tell me one thing—"

"What?"

"How much do you gossip?" In a peer group, there is always a person who happens to have each and every kind of information on the tip of their tongue. In their group of three, Owen happened to be that person. He was the real 'TEA' spiller of their group.

In fact, even Elsa's gossip power failed in front of him.

"I don't gossip," Owen scoffed and defended himself. "I just hear something and then pass on the information."

"That is exactly what gossiping is."

"Look at you complaining," he sneered. "You are acting like you don't enjoy my gossip. You and Justin get all the juice only because of me, don't forget that. If not for me, you both would be living a cave life with no spice of the outside world."

"My gossip seasons your life," he stated. "You both would be lost without me."

"Alright, don't get all hyped up." Andrew was about to ask him something else when Ben entered the room.

"Boss, the team is ready," he informed.

"Hey Ben, come here." Owen patted the empty seat beside him.

Ben nodded and quietly approached him.

When he sat beside him, Owen hooked his arms around his neck. "So Ben tell me something and I want you to answer honestly."

"Okay—"

"When was the last time you had s*ex?"
