The next morning I woke up a bit early to go meet Mr Peters

I texted him last night to ask if he got any leads and he told me to come in the morning

I wore my favorite peach color skirt and matched it with my white blouse which fits my body perfectly

I felt the need to put make up today

I tried some natural look with minimal blush

Once satisfied I decided to leave

On the way to Mr. Peters office I texted Cole that I will be a bit late due to family emergency

Glad he didn't ask much questions

The whole ride I was thinking what he would have found out about

I hope he found him

I reached his office only to find him waiting for me with two cups of coffee

And this made me more nervous

"Good Morning Laura" he smiled and gestured to sit down

Something was wrong and I can sense it

"What have you got" I asked him directly

"Cool down " he said handing me a cup of coffee

He is nervous too

Mr. Peters is a forty year old man with short brunette hair which are almost white now

The smile he is giving right now is a nervous one

"Okay " I glad took the coffee cup and welcomed the warmth

"It's about your parents " he stated

Shocked

That's what I feel right now

As far I know my parents died in an accident

"But..but how is it possible"

I'm still not able to digest this new information

"I'm really sorry but I didn't find much information on this one but the sources who gave information and sure that it was a murder "

My parents were murdered!?

" why would someone want to kill them?"

As far I remember my parents weren't wealthy or didn't have enemies

Or I didn't know anything about it

_____________________________________________

My parents were murdered

That is the only thing running on my mind right now

I didn't know when I reached the office building also

It was half past 10 by the time I reached my cabin

The phone on the table rang

"Hello"

"Ms. Rhodes , could you come to my office right now " Mr Wexins asked

" Uh.. yea sure "

I put the phone back and went to his office

He sounded a bit desperate

I reached his office and knocked

He was pacing around

"Good morning sir " I greeted him not sure what to do

" Oh, yes Laura sit "

I went and sat in the chair

He went behind his desk and sat too

"There is a fund raiser next month and the place we booked has some issues right now"

Why is he telling me about that now

I think he saw how clueless I looked and continued

"I would like to organize it in the mansion "

Is this guy serious, how the fuck does he think the whole mansion will be done in a month

"But sir , I don't think it's possible"

" You're boss told a lot about you , that you are determined and very talented and most importantly you accept any challenge "

Is this guy serious

He is smirking right now

"But.."

"No buts, it's an order " he commanded

"Okay fine , is it a challenge?" I asked

I have the confidence now that I can do it

" Yes" he said
