Chapter 8
Present.
Sy International building is the tallest building in Country P located at the heart of City I. Four years ago, it was a major shock for everyone in the elite society of the fearsome rise to power of the Sy International.
Sy International was then already a powerful force to reckon with but for an unknown reason, the Sy International became ambitious beyond one could imagine and now evolved into a scary and lethal entity that it not only could control the media but has now the capability to even control the politics and economy of Country P.
It's like the demon king rising even more to power, trampling unnecessary bugs on the way and now seating at the highest throne, absolutely unreachable for anyone in Country P not even the President of the said country.
The ferocious man was sipping on his scotch while looking at the pictures Secretary Ryan delivered.
Blazing red haired woman. Even more beautiful and surprisingly voluptuous compared as to how he remembered her four years ago. Voluptuous or still with her cute melons, she will always be his little enchantress. Although just by looking at her picture made him think something that he couldn't pinpoint exactly. Maturity? But of course, it's been five years and she's definitely a full woman now.
Probably he's feeling this way because of the longing he felt for her. He shook off the emotions he couldn't understand and called for Secretary Ryan once again.
Veronica was staying in Elitista Hotel. Another five star hotel at the heart of City I. She was very careful not to catch anyone's attention that she even prevented herself from calling or even meeting any of her friends. It was proven successful as so far she had been two days in City I and no one bothered her yet. Not that it worries her though because after she gave birth to her most precious twins...A sharp look appeared on her Veronica's expression after remembering a memory, she became passionate to learn some basic self defense which eventually, she
became very skillful with close combat martial arts and even has become a sharpshooter herself, well, also, was once an assassin on her uncle's force. Yes, she can fight and shoot skillfully just like an assassin, (because she used to be one).
She just came back from Baelforce headquarter and had given tasks to her subordinates about what to do for the meantime to finally get rid of the powerful force that was annoyingly trying to contain them Her force must have already be on action now while she, the queen, is waiting for a job well done.
She just went out from a relaxing bath as she took light sips from her champagne. Years passed, she improved rather drastically and surprisingly with martial arts and armories but what remained is her low tolerance with strong alcoholic beverages.
Anyway, it's not like she needs to be so as she's already enjoying the luxury of her wine, champagne and light drinks.
A ring from her suite's door resounded the room. She didn't ask for room service or anything and if it's her men, they should have contacted her first. She turned with a killing aura on the door. She hurriedly went to the bedside table to get her personalized dagger and gun gifted to her by her uncle Bien.
Through the peephole, she saw a man wearing the uniform of the hotel staff and the cart containing covered dishes. On guard, she readied herself for the worst and then opened the door. "Yes?" she smiled warmly at the hotel staff.
"Good evening ma'am, the President of this hotel requested to deliver this dinner for you." "Oh. To what honor do I deserve this warm treatment from your President?"
"I am sorry ma'am but that's something I'm naïve about. I was only doing what was assigned to me." The staff replied politely.
"So if your President asked you to jump off this building you would do so too?"
The staff paled at that because she looked like she might be teasing him but her aura seemed to be....menacing.
"Whatever. Get them inside." Veronica was very exhausted and let the hotel staff in. Although she is still on high alert.
"Please enjoy your dinner maam." The man bowed politely and left peacefully. An hour had passed and Veronica was starting to relax since the hotel staff left.
She approached the dishes set on her table by the staff earlier. It looked very palatable and sumptuous that her stomach grumbled even if she already ate her dinner. 'Might be the last supper huh.' Veronica took her poison testing stick and put it on the dishes. After a while, there's no changes with the poison stick, meaning, there was no poison content on the dishes but she took no confidence and decided to throw those delicious looking dishes away. "Better safe than sorry."
