Chapter 1084 - The people Jeff can trust (2/2)

Sophia stood up, introduced herself, and announced her plans to meet with people in charge of resources and intelligence. If she is going to be a strategist, she needs to understand what is currently available.

Jeff continued: ”Next is Felix Martin, he will be in charge of our equipment. My goal is to modernize our operations. Today's wars are won with information and technology. Felix will work close with Aiden and Sarah on modernizing our units, and with Ryder who is in charge of resources…” He looked at Ryder. ”Felix will look into what we have, and he will increase security using technology…”

Felix introduced himself and gave a short explanation of his current plans.

People present were excited to see the new blood. It's normal for new Master to bring in people he can trust. So far Jeff showed up to meetings only with JoAnna, Steve and Bridgette and they were concerned that the new Master does not have people who can support him, but he is relying on Oscar's people. Sarah showed up once (when she took care of Shawn), but she was in a role of security, and they didn't see her as someone who will sit at the table. Now they see that a capable fighter (aka Sarah) took Shawn's position, and they look forward to seeing what Aiden can do. For leadership, fighting skills are not necessary, but they all know that only such a person can control their otherwise unruly units.

With Elanor stepping back, they were missing a strategist, and they had more than one talk about modernizing the organization. This is where Sophia and Felix fit perfectly.

Jeff spoke with Sophia and Felix on several occasions and he was happy and relieved when he heard that they are willing to help out. He needs a strategist, and Sophia is just right for that role. Also, since he started getting information about the organization from Oscar, he didn't like that they are using such old-fashioned way of doing things. Thinking of modernizing things, Felix was the first one to come to Jeff's mind. He knows that Eve is off limits, but the gadgets that come out of Felix's workshop are awesome even without Eve's involvement.

Jeff assumed that Sophia will accept because both of her sisters are in already, but he was not sure about Felix who prefers to stay in the workshop and tinker with his inventions.

Looking at the five people around him, and Steve and Bridgette on the side, Jeff's heart is lighter knowing that there are seven people who have his trust. He knows that Jesse is trustworthy also, but Jesse's loyalty is with Aiden and Sarah.

Thinking about it, all these trustworthy people around him are here because he is with JoAnna. Sophia and Felix would not be here if not for his wife, and Sarah as well. If Sarah is not with Aiden, his brother would still be the unreliable fickle playboy so... other than Steve, for everyone else he needs to thank the little girl who called him 'Big J' many years ago.

Oscar asked Jeff what his plans for the organization are, and Jeff honestly said that he does not know. ”I want first to see the current state, and to stabilize in my role. Then I can think about what is next.”

Knowing that besides existing forces there is the army of Chaos supporting him, Jeff thinks that they can take over whatever they want. But what is the point? He is not a greedy man. However, Oscar's question did strike a nerve. A year ago, he was focused on White corp. completely; increasing profits, expanding the company. Then he met JoAnna and his interest moved to romancing the woman who captured his heart many years ago when he was a child and all of his thoughts were how to make her his. And now he is at the helm of this big organization and he is not sure what else to wish for.

Jeff told himself not to overthink it now. Once he stabilizes his position, he will take a vacation with JoAnna and the two of them will sit and talk about their future. He is confident that something useful will come out of that talk.
