The Cold Ones

Chapter 14

Everyone at Tzu Airways and Aviation is at panic. The moment of the Queen's arrival is near and they're not that ready yet. They just got the news late last night that the Queen will visit them today.

Fear and anxiety is in the air and everyone, big bosses and staffs, are all queasy.

Well they should be.

Because the Queen doesn't intend to be friendly to them.

"Faster people! The Queen will arrive any minute now!" The VP of Financial Department shouted.

Meanwhile, a knavish smile formed the Queens lips. "Moon, what's the weather?" She asked the girl beside her.

"Uhm, cloudy with a chance of unemployment?!" Moon shrugged as she focuses on her Zombie Tsunami. "Oh gosh! I'm losing everything.. Oh-no no no.. Aish! My 30 zombies just fell at once just because of that stupid after-wave!"

Icey smiled at the thought if her people panicking because of her sudden visit.

She's actually planned this about a week ago -- while still on vacation. To move on, Icey decided to bury herself with work whe the kids doesnt need her attention.

And there she found a lot of loopholes from the financial report submitted to her.

Alfred Willword, Head Engineer at Tzu Aviation had been withdrawing big sums of money for, in his words, "enhancing and maintenance of the planes". And when Icey checked on Tzu Airways' files, Alfred Willword didn't give any amount to them.

Now, she found out that Willword had been one of the investors of her enemies company, the Tan Company.

"Have you done what I've asked you to do?" She asked again.

"Yep. I've already brought the shares from Tan Company. You now have 79% of it under your baby boy's name. So, what to do?" Moon asked, her full attention's now on Icey.

"Bring him down in a snap, Moon." She evily said. Moon nodded and started typing something on her iPad.

Minutes later, they arrived at her tower. She was greeted by troubled staffs and her very own uneasy board of directors and stock holders.

The moment she stepped out of her car and entered the building, she could already taste the tang of fear in the air.

Which, by any chance, she flagitiously likes.

"Good morning Ms. Concuerra-"

"It's Tzu, Simpson. Winter Schatrice Tzu." She corrected her vice president.

"Oh, I'm sorry Queen. Uhm, everything's ready at the meeting hall." He looked nervous. Well, everyone does.

Everyone is quiet until they reached 16th floor. She went inside the hall with her iced aura and the next thing she knew, she was firing some trusted thief.

"I think I've been too loose on you. Now you have the courage to play on me." She calmly spoke. Pinagsalikop niya ang kanyang mga palad at tiningnan ang labing-walong ulong nakatutok sa kanya. "I didn't know I've been feeding a snake in my company. Anyone who wants to follow his footsteps?"

Napayuko naman silang lahat. They couldn't meet her freezing stares without shivering from her coldness.

"The moment this happens again, all of you will be out of my company before you could even finish saying "aviation". Are we clear?" she said and walked out the door. She headed for the elevator that will bring her up to her floor.
