On her father’s office, Sheila was pacing around the room nervously. Yesterday, she found out that the n she sent disappeared and there was no trace of them. She could not possibly ask Kevin about this as it was the sa as admitting that she was sending people to injure Kanae.
While she was in turmoil, the clock showed that it was already noon, so she couldn’t stay here any longer. Her father was going to use the conference room because of so eting.
At this mont, suddenly her father ca inside with a ssy appearance. "Sheila, did you do sothing?"
"No, I did not. What is it, father?"
Sheila’s father was holding his head with a crazed expression. He had just received calls that the custors wanted to change their business and no longer have any business with him. Seeing that those who made the deal ca from the guests in Kevin’s Company, he didn’t find it that weird.
He only lost a few custors, so things were still salvable. Yet early in this morning, he got the report that his n were found trying to sabotage a company but failed. Now they were in the prison, waiting for the punishnt, so they spilled the beans that they were tasked to injure the designated person from a different company.
The news sohow transpired over to the other companies. In the end, they refused to make the deal with him and lost a lot of money in the process. If this continued, he would be forced to sign bankruptcy as he no longer had any business.
"Just leave alone for now, Sheila."
"Father..."
"Get out!"
Sheila was stunned by her father sudden shout. He never shouted to her before as she was his pampered daughter. With mixed feeling, she went to the lobby and saw soone unexpected waiting for her.
"You’re one of President Kevin’s employees, right?" she asked warily.
The one in front of her was Mike. He smiled towards the girl as he nodded his head calmly. "Miss Sheila, this is the docunts from the police station. You’re expected to be present when they’re interrogating your subordinate."
Sheila’s face turned pale suddenly. She stared at the docunt in her hand with disbelief all over her face. "How did you...?"
"This is all I have to say. Please reconsider your action, little miss. You’re not at the very top of the power chain," Mike smiled as usual, yet his smile sent chills ran down the spine for Sheila.
She looked towards the docunt as Mike walked away. Her heart knew that it was practically over for her. She wouldn’t be able to do anything after her father’s company was destroyed. With the reputation in tatters like this, she doubted that she would be able to do anything.
This was the first ti she realized that she had lost completely.
...
Kale Company
Kanae worked as usual. She noticed that Kevin was paying more attention to her at school, which she guessed because he was curious. After a few hours, he no longer paid much attention to her. Since it was already like usual, she also just did her work like nothing had happened.
The days passed smoothly and once again she crashed into Kevin’s office for the dinner. It was still a food box, but for her, they were already more than enough. After all, she recognized that the brand seed to be a sowhat expensive restaurant, so she would not complain.
"You seem to be at ease working in a cramped office like this," Neo comnted when he saw that Kanae was already working with the stack of docunts on her hand.
Kanae raised her head. The office was quite big. It was not as small as Neo said, so she didn’t feel that uncomfortable.
"It’s quite spacious."
Neo scratched his head. That was not what he ant. He had just noticed that Kanae seed to be at ease when working in this place with soone who has a far higher position than her beside the girl.
"Let’s watch the news for a bit."
Mike turned the television on the side. It was mostly used for decoration, but sotis they still used it to catch up with the latest news and so on. When they turned the television on, Kanae’s eyes caught on the latest news.
"...the trading firm that has been standing for years is no more. They have just received the report from the prison that their n is caught trying to sabotage other company. This will surely be very detrintal for the company because they have to explain to their custors..."
Kanae was stunned when she heard the news. After she beat those n unconscious, she left them on that place. How did they end up in the prison and admitted their wrongdoing?
Her gaze turned to Kevin as she realized that it must be him who did it. Other than him, no one should have known that those n were from Sheila’s father trading company.
When she was about to say sothing else, the news continued.
"...According to the n that are captured, they’re attacked by a ghost that suddenly appeared from behind. They don’t know who the person is, but they know that he was very powerful and fast. They terd that person as a ghost and say that everyone should be careful..."
"..." Now I turned into a ghost?
Kanae tried to forget the second news as she looked towards the man by the side. He was still busy working, so she didn’t want to disturb him.
"Thank you."
Without moving his gaze from his work, Kevin nodded his head. With his confirmation, Kanae started to do her work again. It was correct, the one who did it was Kevin and she was thankful for him even if he only did it because it was indeed his fault from the very beginning.
Mike and Neo looked towards each other with a knowing look. They knew that Kanae was smart, so the girl must have known that they was the one who were behind it. They were trying to guess what her reaction would be. Who would have thought that it was only a simple ’thank you’?
They were tempted to ask more about what happened in the alleyway at that ti, but they didn’t do it. Neo rely busy searching for more information about Tommy as he hadn’t even finished the work to search for that 20 people. Hopefully, Tommy was included in their list, or his work would never end.
