Justice In Shadow's Eye

Chapter XI: Detrimental Partnership

- - Cleo's POV: - -

"A huge company owned by none other than the "Luceria Family"..."

A thought that kept on running on my mind... When I found out about their dirty schemes I immediately knew that they need to be put down, if not to teach them properly I might have to pull them out of their nasty game permanently.

I am currently inside Alex's bedroom along with him, I continue to gaze upon the view outside of the window, with both of my arms tucked behind me.

"How bold it is for them to even make father as their prey." I spoke.

"Well father is known for not having an option other than yes, so he's a perfect target... Besides of the fact that he's completely against violence and would not harm anyone." Alex replied to me as he continued his business with his computer.

"Hm..." I approached him and sat on his bed, I watched him and waited patiently as he does his expertise with technology.

"That reminds me Alex, why do we need to hack into their data of the guests list when we can simply just reserve a meeting with him?" I questioned him, all this work seems a bit too much.

"Properly reserving a meeting with Mr. Luceria will take a lot of time due to the fact that he's a very busy and an important man, if we simply send them an email your reservation could take months, that's why it's better to just take someone else's spot to hurry up... Whatever it is that you're wanting to do."

"Hmm... Is that so?..." I only replied faintly and continued to watch him do his work.

"I just have to bypass their high security and I should be able to put your name on their meeting list... That is if you're still planning on proceeding with this." Alex told me.

"I have no intentions of backing out on this, our family's business is at stake here." I replied back, but judging from my brother's tone, I can tell he's really worried for me about my decision.

After what felt like half an hour, Alex groaned as he finally set my name on the list of the secretary or whatever it was called.

"There! I've set you up with a meeting with Intelli-Profien's very own CEO, you're scheduled to meet him on this coming Saturday."

"Great, then I'll just head on to the main building then?" I asked to clarify things.

"Yes, just head on to the receptionist's counter, introduce yourself and they'll immediately link you with the secretary which will eventually take you to their very boss, simple as that." Alex explained really carefully and to the point.

"I see, thank you for your help Alex." I smiled at him as I stood up and left his bed.

When I was about to leave his room, I heard his voice call onto me, this time, I could tell he's starting to worry again.

"Cleo wait please... I really want to know what you're actually planning, I'm troubled." Usually I tend to ignore these types of questions... But... Alex is my brother.

"Don't worry Alex, you'd need not to worry." I replied.

"Cleo..."

"Have faith in me, this is what I do best." With my last statement, I left his room and gently closed the door as I waited for the day of my meeting with those bastards...

My hands were carefully placed on my cheek as I laid against the car's window, watching the other vehicles pass us by as well as the buildings surrounded by people.
