Sirius Zero: Building A Corporate Kingdom After Being Expelled-Chapter 54: Sirius Software HQ is officially open
"Looks like Father Joseph’s grown a pair," chuckled Aaron, watching the St. Ignatius Academy promotional video in the Temporary Office.
The video showed the security camera footage of the attack on the campus, and promoted it as the schools new commitment to student safety, and a pledge to never let school shootings happen again.
"About damn time," growled Harry.
"There is still a problem. Olga might just get slapped with murder charges. We’ll need to mount a legal defense," said Andre.
"Not happening, Andre. I want any of that bullshit crushed before it even forms," said Aaron.
"Way ahead of you on that one Aaron. I’ve taken the liberty of restoring Olga’s status as FBI special agent. That execution is now a Federally justified use of legal force," said Michael, grinning.
"This is the first that I’m hearing of that," said Olga.
Michael shrugged. "I just managed to pull it through and get it retroactively applied. The official story is now that you’ve been working under deep cover in Sirius Software," he said.
"Under suspicion of what?" asked Olga, raising an eyebrow.
"What you investigated first. Osirak Jihad. You’re the Bureau’s eyes in Sirius Software to make sure they don’t try to infiltrate again," said Michael.
"I suppose that can work. Who is my Bureau handler?" asked Olga. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"You report directly to the counter-terrorism chief," said Michael.
"Got it," said Olga.
"Nice work Michael. That solves the immediate problem. Now, Harry. Since the school has been finished, can we resume construction of the HQ? I’d like to get out of this Temporary Office," said Aaron.
"Yeah, we can get back on track on that," chuckled Harry.

"My compliments Harry. You’ve outdone yourself," said Aaron, looking up at the finished headquarters skyscraper that stood in the center of the Sirius Software compound.
The tower was clad in black reflective glass, and shaped like a massive obelisk.
It pierced the heavens at a staggering 768 meters tall, and the afternoon sun gave it an alien shimmer.
The base was 100 m square, and the main entrance was a massive, reinforced door with a glowing handprint lock and an intercom.
"Wait till you see the inside," chuckled Harry, leading the way in.
Natasha’s stiletto heels made sharp and loud clip-clopping sounds on the sleek, polished black granite floor, as she, Aaron, and Harry entered the lobby.
The lobby was massive, with a high ceiling that was covered in glass OLED panels that glowed a bright white, eliminating shadows.
The walls were clad in the same black reflective glass, giving the lobby a stark, monochrome look.
The conditioned air was icy, and an alcove of elevators stood at the far end of the lobby.
"Maglev elevators, just like you wanted boss," said Harry, as the elevator doors hissed open.
"Server farms first, let’s go," said Aaron, keying the number 20 into the elevator’s keypad.
"Have to say sir, this is a lot better than the Temporary Office," said Natasha, as they walked through the first level of server and render farms, all humming quietly.
"I know. This is quite inspiring, even for me," said Aaron, taking a deep breath, and running his hand over the smooth black glass walls.
"Harry. I’m grateful. Truly I am. This is like a dream come true," said Aaron.
"The best is yet to come, Aaron," said Harry, beckoning them back to the elevator.
----
"Welcome to your office and personal quarters," said Harry as the elevator doors opened on the topmost 128th floor.
Aaron and Natasha stepped out into a spacious foyer that was furnished with a massive white desk and a black leather office chair.
Beside that desk and chair was another massive door and handprint lock.
Aaron placed his hand on the lock, and the door opened with a hiss.
They walked into a massive office which had a pair of black leather couches and a large glass coffee table between them, a huge black desk with an ornate black leather chair behind it, and another set of doors that led to an apartment suite.
"Well? What do you think?" asked Harry.
"Harry, I’m truly grateful. This is a dream come true," said Aaron, tearing up a little.
Harry gave the younger man a tight hug.
"I’m grateful too. You trusted my skills right after college. I can’t believe its only been two years since then," said Harry, his voice thick with emotion.
Natasha smiled and let the two boys have their moment.
"So, this is the new Sirius Software headquarters. I see what you mean about my uniform blending in here," she chuckled wryly.
"Indeed. Alright Natasha, get all personnel to assemble in the auditorium. We are officially opening the new headquarters," said Aaron, as he wiped his eyes.
----
The vast auditorium on the 16th floor looked sparse and empty, with only the first 2 rows of seats filled with the entire staff of Sirius Software and its subsidiaries.
Natasha, Olga, Kavitha, and the twelve other security officers occupied the front row, along with Andre and Michael.
Harry’s 40 construction engineers and drone operators flanked them and spilled into the second row.
Behind those, were James’ team of 40 electrical engineers and technicians, while the third row contained the 20 robotics factory workers.
Aaron stood on the stage, flanked by Harry and James.
"Welcome everyone to the new Chapter and headquarters of Sirius Software. I am truly grateful to all of you for your hard work and dedication that has made this possible," he said.
"Today, we are not just opening a new building, but a new era for Sirius Software. An era of innovation, creativity, and excellence," he continued.
"Right now, our little family might seem small, but look at what we have done together. We have built an industrial compound, a set of thriving enterprises in robotics, energy, and construction. And I have no doubts that we will continue to grow and expand. But for now, we celebrate!" he said, and raised his arm in the air.
The crowd erupted into cheers and applause. The left wall of the auditorium split open to reveal a dining area with a sumptuous buffet spread.
The crowd dispersed to the dining area and broke up into small socializing clumps, as Aaron, Harry, and James stepped down from the stage.
"Mr. Zakhrov, what will become of the Temporary Office?" asked Kavitha, as she approached them.
"That will be expanded into a hospital and clinic, Dr. Khan. Harry has already started the plans for it," said Aaron.
Kavitha’s eyes lit up. "That sounds wonderful sir! The makeshift clinic you had thrown together for me had started to become a little cramped," she said.
"Pleasure to be of service, Dr. Khan," chuckled Harry.
"Natasha, meet me in my office after the party. I have a new project for you," said Aaron, as he left the winding down party.
----
"You wanted to see me, sir?" asked Natasha, as she entered Aaron’s office.
The office door boomed shut behind her, and locked with an ominous thud.
Aaron got up from his desk and approached her, the icy fire in his eyes making Natasha’s heart race.
He slid a finger under her chin, and tilted her head up to look into his eyes.
"Yes. You and I are going to have our own private celebration of this new office and apartment," he growled, before capturing her lower lip in a possessive bite.
Natasha moaned softly, her body responding as he pinned her against the door, his hands deftly unbuttoning her blazer.
She shrugged it off, and it fell to the floor with a soft thud, the titanium armor clinking softly.
Aaron flipped her around, and sank his teeth into the soft nape of her neck, trailing nibbles across her shoulders, as he loosened the laces of her corset, and undid the front busk.
"Oooh!" Natasha moaned, as Aaron seized and pinched her freed nipples, sending jolts of pleasure through her body.
He scooped her up in his arms, and carried her to the desk, laying her down on its smooth surface.
He knelt down, and slid her skirt up, exposing her pantyhose and black lace panties.
Sliding them down her legs, he forced his body between her trapped legs and crotch, before burying his face in her pussy.
Natasha gasped, her body arching as he licked and sucked on her sensitive folds, his tongue flicking over her clit.
"Master Zakhrov! That feels so good!" she cried, as pleasure built rapidly in her core.
Her head was thrown backwards, and a primal scream escaped her. Her thighs shook and spasmed as her climax tore through her body.
"Sir, that was amazing," she panted as she slowly came down from her climax.
"We still have a lot more furniture to consecrate," growled Aaron, picking her up and carrying her to the black leather couch.
