CHAPTER TWO

The mafia boss was heading towards the HQ when there was a roadblock ahead. He slided down the window of the backseat as he observed the crowds. "Go and clear up the way", he ordered the bodyguard, which was also his driver. The bodyguard bowed as he walked out of the car.

Not more than five seconds passed, and Scoups saw a lady dressed in yellow shirt and silky flower pattern long skirt helping an old lady janitor that was mobbed down on the ground by the crowds. It was a simple action of kindness, and it was nothing new. But he could not stop staring at the lady as she helped the old lady inside the building. The bodyguard returned as he apologized to the boss. "It seemed like a conflict broke out amongst the managers and miners. The driveway is fully blocked by the crowds".

"They could not even manage a small branch that theh have to take the matters to the HQ. Sent the management head and one of the miners to my office later", Scoups told his bodyguard as he walked out of the car and then went inside the building.

He was passing by the lobby when he saw the same yellow dress lady again. She seemed to be pleading the receptionist for something.

"You're here too?", Joshua asked as he approached Scoups from the entrance. "It seemed like that our managers are not doing their job properly". Joshua smiled as he nodded. "Don't worry, I'll handle it", he told Scoups. "Well you should since you're the CEO", Scoups sarcastically said to Joshua as a means of joke. He looked passed him as his eyes could not leave the lady's movement. Scoups gave a gesture to Joshua as he also turned to looked at the lady who was standing near the reception. "Isn't that Ye's eldest daughter?", Joshua asked. Scoups then recognized the lady too. "She looks better in real life than in the photo", Joshua said as he smirked while raising his eyebrows. "Cut the crap. Go and see why she's here", Scoups said to Joshua as he boarded the elevator.

I was begging the receptionist to give a call to their CEO again. She again rejected saying that their CEO doesn't pick up unnecessary call. Also, no one could meet him without making an appointment first. My dad was still waiting in the car. I knew how much the company means to him. And every seconds, the market price was dropping. I had.. no.. I needed to fix a meeting between my father and their CEO or the boss whoever, for the sake of our family. "Ma'am, please. It won't take long", I plead.

"Minah, is there a problem?", a man asked as he stood beside me in front of the reception. "No, sir. But, this lady wanted to meet the CEO", she replied to the man. I looked at the man. He was a few inches taller than man. His silky black hair was slicked back, and he was dressed in black suits. "Why do you want to meet our CEO?", he asked me. I bit my lower lips as I took time to answer. None of us, amongst us sisters, were extrovert. Ari was the timid type, Jian was the sociopath type, while I was the silent thinker type. I took time to collect my words, and people often thought of me as ignorant because of that. However, I knew myself better than anyone, so other's opinion didn't have any effects on me. "I'm waiting", the man said. "It's.. my father who wants to meet the CEO. Please, I know we didn't make any appointment, but it's urgent for us. The well-being of family depends on this matter". I tried my best to sound pitiful. Well, in this kind of situation, we had to give our best to get what we want.

The man nodded as he looked at the receptionist. "Let them come to my office", he said as he turned and walked towards the elevator. His office?. I looked at the lady with eyes the size of an owl. "Is he..".

"He's the CEO of our company. But the boss is not him", she replied before I could ask the question. CEO or Boss whatever.. I got the permission. I bowed at the lady as I rushed towards the car to call my dad. Although he told me to stay in the car, I insisted on following him. I didn't know what why they would do to him, so I had to make sure he wasn't in danger.
