"She will be working for me from now on," I said looking out of the window onlooking the yard.
"But young master, isn't she lady Jeon's old lab assistant, why are you replacing me with her? Can she be trusted with such a responsibility?"
"She will be the lady of the house from now on and you and the other servants are to treat her as such, Mr Lee. It is not whether or not I trust Ah Lina, I just simply need to make sure she does not run into anybody who could use her to ruin the Jeon family name."
"What makes her such a prime target?"
"My mother trusted her with everything, even with information that she hasn't told anybody else. She knows too much about the company for me to just let her go. She's also the best thing we have in keeping the company from collapsing. I've been gone for too long to understand what my mother has been doing to the company and from what I've heard she was working on some top secret experiment that could change the world. If what my mother had planned turns out to be true, Ah Li-Nah is the only person capable of continuing my mother's work."
"And where is the girl now?"
"School, she goes to the pristine university down town. She won't be back until this evening."
Mr. Lee chuckled.
"What is so funny?" I sat up in my chair.
"Oh nothing, young master. It's just that... she doesn't seem like someone who could afford to go to a school with such stature."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, for the two years that she's been here helping lady Je- pardon me, your mother, she's worn the same ratty shoes and scratched glasses. That poor girl looks like she can't even afford a proper meal to feed herself."
I laughed at his comment. "Pull up a character profile on her. Get me as much information on her that you can, Mr. Lee," I said.
"Yes, young master." He bowed, before making his way out.
"Actually, I will do this myself. This is no longer your job. I'm demoting you to a less demanding position. You may leave," I excused him. He bowed once more before leaving the room.
You were a great assistant, Mr. Lee, but you see the Jeon residence does not welcome rats. My mother may have been blind, but your false facade never fooled me. I saw who you truly were from the day you started working for our family. I'm pretty sure father saw it too, too bad he passed away before he could do anything about it. Now that I'm old enough, I'll be the one to protect the family company and your just a another one of my pawns that I must play to win.

A/N:
I think I'm going to have a mix of short and long chapters. I want to make each chapter have one main focus and some events aren't going to end up being as long as others so don't mind if some chapters seem short; there will be longer ones as well.
Thanks for reading!
