Cascading Empire

Chapter Three

May and Saphire entered the car together, waving their bodyguards goodbye while some others got in their car. "Thank you for this opportunity, boss," Sebastian said and May smiled, "You're welcome. How is your mom?" The two conversed about the waiter's family for a while before they waved goodbye. "Then, we'll see you tomorrow."

"Yes, boss," Sebastian smiled and the car left.

May sighed as she laid back on the comfortable couch chair inside the car and Saphire glanced down at her phone. "What was it today?"

There was silence for a while in the car before May answered, "Do you remember the guy who planned to scam your business?"

Saphire nodded.

"He tried to get my business this time knowing how close we are."

"Then what about the guy who was shot dead? Who was he?"

May's face hardened, "VIP guest. Extremely important and has wasted millions in the bar. He was killed today by.. I'm assuming his old acquaintance. I'm going to get the information on the man tomorrow."

Saphire raised an eyebrow, putting her phone away as she looked to the driver who was focusing on the road and smirked. She closed the barrier from the driver seat and the back seat and immediately told May to stay silent.

"Sh."

The back of the car went silent.

...

"Yes.. they're in the back of my car right now.."

Saphire looked at May and May groaned, rolling her eyes. "Again..?" She whispered and Saphire nodded, grinning.

May stood up and was careful to not make any noise as the car passed by, pressing her ear to the divider.

She could hear, "Yes... I think that the drug I put in their drinks worked... I saw them drink a little... Yes... Yes. I'll make sure to. Thank you, boss. Yes, they have been silent for a while now. No. No, boss," He continued on and May glanced to the drinks. She pointed down to her phone.

Saphire understood and glanced down, seeing a text;

May: Don't drink the drinks. He put drugs in them.

Saphire: Today is a bad day, huh?

May: We'll get home safely.

May and Saphire have not felt fear for a very long time now, with fierce parents, strict lessons, and many years of experience, the two have hardened their hearts and minds, successfully building two huge business that basically counted as one.

There was loud shuffling and May pointed to the chairs, before rushing to lay down along with Saphire.

When the driver peaked back, he saw the two women laying down, seemingly asleep, and taking in deep breaths. He smirked, still on the phone.

"Yes, they seem to be in pain, boss."

He put the phone on speaker, "I will take them to you immediately."

May peaked open her eyes a little, hearing the voice direction turn back to the road and glanced at Saphire, winking twice.

Saphire understood and rose up a little, glancing at the situation before grabbing her bag, and standing up.

Both of them hid on the side, where the driver couldn't see them. The driver tried to turn around again, but once he did, he didn't hear anything before seething pain ran through his face.

May grimaced at the scene of Saphire punching him right in the face. He gaped in pain, the car turning and Saphire pulled him to the backseat with all her strength, May climbing to the driver seat and smiling.

"Make sure he doesn't wake up."

"Troy? Troy-?" There was a voice from the phone still and May glanced down coldly to the lit screen. She pressed her lips to the microphone before whispering, "... You're next, boss."

May imitated a deep, manly voice before turning off the phone, hearing the panicked stuttering from the man from the other side.

There was silence as soon as May ended the car and she glanced back. "How's he."

"Dead."

"No, for real."

"Yeah, knocked out."

May and Saphire smiled at each other before May then looked back to the road, sighing.

"... Shouldn't you go a little faster?"

"Faster?"

"Yeah, just a little."

"Faster, huh?" May smirked and immediately the car sped into action. "FUCK!"

Saphire got out of the car and immediately started throwing up while May laughed at her unfortunate circumstance. "You said... to go faster!" May laughed, holding her stomach as she was close to tears while Saphire crouched down on the ground. Faye, Euna, and Delphine stood confused at the sight of their other boss puking.

"Um.. boss, what happened?"

May smiled, "Just drove a little over the speed limit."

"DRIVING AT 115 IS NOT A LITTLE." She shouted before starting to throw up again, gagging her life away.

"Don't be so dramatic...." May laughed, before getting out her keys, "Sebastian, help her up. Where's Emma?"

"Emma is not here today, Boss," Sebastian answered before trying to help Saphire up. May frowned, "Emma's not here today?"

"When is she ever here?" Saphire sassily answered and May laughed, "You're right. That's an Emma move. Come on, let's go in."

May headed towards the door, Delphine opening it for her boss and the five entered.

As soon as you were to enter the house, you could smell.. "rich".

There was no other way to describe it, it was just extremely extravagant. The entire house from the front was bulletproof glass. Only the two rooms from the East and West side of the building were visible, while the middle was glass from the inside where you can see out, but from the outside, you couldn't see anything.

They earned this house thanks to their successful business, and May often lends her waiters and waitresses a place to call home because she couldn't stand watching them suffer in her olden days.

May took off her coat as Saphire sighed. The taller female immediately slumped onto the couch and glance to Kenneth, another one of her waiters who had their time off today. He was a tall, tanned male who was trained and extremely fit. Her workers were all extremely loyal and faithful, so May did not rank them in any way. However, Sebastian was her personal spy so it just so happened that she needed him more.

Kenneth glanced back to her and May ushered him to move closer, "How's Eli?"

Kenneth moved back and gave an awkward, uncomfortable smile, "She's fine, Boss. Just some pain here and there, but she's fine."

May smiled at him and stood up, "I'll go check on her. Make sure to listen when Saphire commands you. She's been moody," May chuckled and Kenneth nodded.

May entered the second floor of the house and knocked at Eli's room.

"Come in," She heard.

"Hey, Eli. How're you doing?" May asked and Eli smiled from her bed, rubbing her stomach, "I'm doing fine. Thank you for your concern." The female walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge. "I'm sorry I can't do much," May apologized. The other woman shook her head, "Just you giving us a home is a lot to ask for. Thank you again for this opportunity."

May couldn't take compliments well so she was immediately flustered, "Uh.. please don't bring that up. You've already paid it off by working for more than five years. Please don't think too much of it."

May stood up and opened the door, waving goodbye before crashing into Kenneth. "Take care of your wife, she's going to be due soon," May smiled and Kenneth bowed. "I'll make sure to. You're the fairy godmother now, I can't possibly do anything to her," Kenneth laughed to the other on the bed, and May smiled, patting his shoulder. "Good. Go to sleep. Goodnight," She wished then left.
