A tall and handsome man in his late forties in a brown suit  introduced his daughter in his office who was dressed in a formal business attire and neatly tied hair. "Greetings everyone, since everyone is well aware that I have to go on a business trip my daughter will take my place in the CEO's office so I leave her in your care." The girl gave a slight nod and smiled at her father.
He kissed her forehead and stroked her hair and whispered to her "Have fun." And then he was escorted by his secretary to the car and left for the airport.

"My name is Lea Alexanderos I am pleased to make your acquaintance." She smiled to all of them. She was standing at the head of the table. "I will not take anymore of your time, you may return and finish your tasks." She waited for everyone to leave before she did. She wanted to have a round of the thirty one story building to familiarize herself with the surroundings. Of course with her abrupt introduction there was backbitting and gossips and false rumours. She heard them quite clearly.
It went the following way:
"Did you know that his daughter was overseas?" A man spoke.
"No I heard that that she had ran away from her home and returned a month ago because things didn't go her way, you know..." A young woman in her twenties added.
Lea watched and smiled at the rumours which didn't even make sense, since she was separated from her parents at the age of five during a fire and returned a year ago. But she didn't  correct them.
"Mrs. Andrews and Mr.Sebastian, please bring me the account files in my office immediately. " Lea said to them as she smirked and left.
They both looked at her abruptly and exchanged bewildered glances. They whispered to each other. "Since when was she there?" They both headed for her office, a little surprised.

"Have a seat, both of you." Lea said to them. "Yes, miss Lea why did you call us we were busy." The man said haughtily. Lea smiled lightly and had seen many people do this.
"I am sorry for disturbing your gossip about me, as that was the only thing that you were busy doing." Sebastian and Mrs.Andrews exchanged awkward glances.

"Tell, me Mr. Sebastian, why is it that the accounts department is low on finance?" She threw the file that was resting on the left side of her table to him. "I want all the loans taken to be covered in this week." She firmly said.
Sebastian scoffed, "You are an amateur and don't know how long it takes to cover all the loans. When a professional is working with me only then will I listen to them." He leaned back on his chair. Sebastian was a man in his late twenties or early thirties and a bit overly confidant about nothing.
Lea sighed. "I want the entire amount by the start of the next week. Is that clear?" Lea looked squarely on his eyes.
He reluctantly took the file. She waved him away like a fly.

"Miss Andrews, I have something to discuss with you about a loan you took." Lea started. She interrupted, "I am not going to explain technical talk to an inexperienced brat!" She banged her hands on the table. "Miss Andrews, I think you are educated enough to know what self respect is and know that this is the CEO's office. Lea stood up to look at her. She raised her eyebrows in question and motioned with her hands for her to sit back down. She slowly sat down. Lea handed her another file which she grabbed.
"May I know where you spent the money you loaned? The loan of 4 million was spent on what?"
