The girl invited her but instead of following the other party right away, Shantal just threw the other party a suspicious look. The girl, on the other hand was no longer surprised when she saw her reaction. If anything, the girl only flashed Shantal her professional smile. The she took the name plate on her uniform to show Shantal that she worked there as a receptionist and it was part of her job to escort her.
"Okay. Lead the way."
Shantal stuck her nose in the air and insinuated. It was only when the other party show her an ID did she bulge and walked after her.
It did not take that long before Shantal was brought at the far end corner of the room; just right under the stairs. A woman in black suit and tie was already sitting across the opposite side of the table and was waiting for her when she arrived. The crew on the other hand wasted no tim

"Agnes is a criminal on interpol's blacklist----"Before the woman in the suit could even finish what she was about to say, Shantal already cut her off in the middle of her sentence."Wait. I think you are mistaken."There was an obvious hint of annoyance at the tone of her voice when she said that. She did not know who this Agnes girl was, but what she do know was that she was that she has nothing to do with any of her business. Shantal reckoned that they were not in the liberty to be wasting time and talking about people's life and she would rather used to remainder of her time looking for clues and other stuff that she could use against, her aunt."I came with hopes of finding useful, good thing that I did not put high hope in this."She thought to herself before she rose to her feet."Who in the hell is this Agnes, anyway?

SHANTAL's P o V~~~The instant that the main road came to an abrupt end and Alex and I were left with no other choice but to go into the unknown, I knew right then that it was not a good idea.I did a double check on the navigation app to see if we were going to the right location and I could only purse my lips at the end when I saw the indicator logo pointing us to head straight forward. As we entered the small village and we drew closer to our destination, the feeling of dread inside me also intensify. But I attributed it mostly to the ambiance surrounding the village itself. A ghost town was the closest thing I could say to describe it."This better not be a prank."I mumbled as we drove past several houses to which most of them either has broken windows or door."We could only hope that our effort would not be for naught."

SHANTAL's P o V~~~"I will be back soon."I said while waving Alex my goodbye and with that, I left him alone by himself inside the car. There he would wait for me until my return. Meanwhile, as soon as I am done saying my farewell, I swiftly made my way towards the entrance, not daring to look back at him again as I am afraid that I might end up changing my mind in the nick of time and decide not to go inside the shop anymore.On the other hand, I approached the doorway with hurried steps. I wanted to get this done the soonest as I could. However, the flooring which was battered due to old age started to protest under my feet the moment I stepped into it. I could hear the sound of the worn out wooden floors creaking against my weight but I did not let that stop me and it did not take that long before I found mys

SHANTAL's P o V~~~~I was initially taken aback by the number of customers that were gathered inside the shabby tea shop. But I was quick to recover from that shock and it did not take that long before I was able to completely put the thought at the back of my mind. I reckoned I have more important matters to attend to for coming here so I decided to focus my attention on my main goal. Lingering my eyes around, I tried to look for empty seat and my lips broke into a grin when I noticed that the spot under the stairs was not occupied yet. It was the perfect location for me who was trying to play low key.However, before I could even start making my way towards my target location, I heard footsteps coming right up me."This way Ms. Nordstorme."Even without me turning around yet to see who the voice belonged to, I could already tell th

SHANTAL's P o V ~~~ I was aware that I am making things hard for the receptionist. But I would rather keep my guard up to anyone than to blindly put my trust in whoever approached me first. I knew it was not so nice of me but I would rather be that 'Karen' than being taken advantage of. The other party, on the other hand, seemed to already expect that reaction from me. She did not appear plastered despite my obvious skepticism. She was able to maintain her composure in the face of my rough attitude and I would like to commend her for that. The girl said nothing and just flashed me her nameplate together with a simpered smile. Only then did I loosen up a bit and with a casual flip of my hair, I insinuated, "Okay. Lead the way." I let the girl took me to where I was supposed to go and to my surprise, we were actually headed to the

AMANDA's P o V~~~~I had spent years working in the federal, but to date, I have not landed myself yet to any sensible case that could possibly elevate my pedestal in the bureau. It would be a lie to say that I am not getting a little frustrated by how things were playing out for me. Truth be told, whenever I tried to give it some thought, I could not help but feel like I was being left behind by my peers. They already secured each of their own spots within the higher position; yet here I am still in the same position where we all started. Honestly speaking, I had been eyeing for a promotion for quite some time now, but for some reason, I could hardly see an opportunity to slip into a big case and make a name for myself.Working in the bureaucracy already have its fair share of gender biases role, I guess that would explain why there was only a small number of female employee in this field, in

SHANTAL's P o V~~~~"Hello, Ms. Nordstorme."The other party greeted me with a smile as soon as I arrived. However, the first thing I noticed the moment my eyes landed to the woman at my table was that she possessed more melanin on her skin than three of me combined and if my guess was correct, there was high likely a chance for her to have an Orient origin. But I figured that was not my main concern so I switch my attention back to the matter that needed my focus the most."Code Zero?"I asked her back after I have taken my seat."Code Zero told me to meet you here."She replied right away and when I did not say anything after that, she continued."Agnes is a criminal on interpol's blacklist----"My brows furrowed together when I heard her suddenly talking

Who in the hell is this Agnes, anyway? I don't know her."At first, I could not understand which part of what I said made her start to lose her temper. But when I heard her next statements, that was when understanding hit me."I think you were mistaken."She said and I noticed how she was trying her best to sound calm and collected."I am sorry but I can't waste my time here talking about people I don't know. I have an important business to attend to."The other party did not even waited for my response and as soon as she was done talking she already stood fro

Jodi on the other hand who was watching all of this farce unfold right before her eyes, could not help but let out a sigh."You sure are made for each other."She said to no one in particular and it was also as seemed she was only talking to herself."Anyway.

Which happened to coincide to the time when Shantal will hold her press conference.Moreover, since Mathilde would not be able to make it there since she was still held in prison, her secretary presided the meeting."We shall begin the emergency board meeting."Secretary Ye declared loudly and her voice reverberated in the room. Jiro was also there along with other board members."The agenda is the dismissal of Director Shantal Nordstorme and the cause is as you were all informed. An illness."She continued while everyone was silent and anxiously prayed so they could ever this meeting once and for all.

After all, the two of them never talked to each other for ages.Jiro used to be a good friend of hers as well. Just like how she and Shantal were cousins, Jiro and and Zorens were first cousins too so naturally all four of them get to know each other and as a child, they eventually became acquaintances in no time.Besides, since Zoren's parents were a family friend of the Nordstorme they often had an opportunity to hang around during their childhood.However, ever since the day Zoren committed suicide due to the incident regarding the Nordstorme controversy, Jiro also stopped communicating with them.So this made Jodi wonder what had come to Jiro to decide and phone her at this time of the night.But

"In other words, she wants me to become director and cover up all his shortcomings?"Mr. Takashi insinuated after his contemplation. He did not exactly declined the offer this time, unlike before. Although he also did not directly implied that he would do it.Nonetheless, Secretary Ye considered his response as a good sign. At least, the other party was no longer adamant at turning them down.So with the same insinuating manner, she answered him back."That would make it easier for you to do your duties once you become a director. All that was left for you now is to leave Ms. Shantal Nordstrome no other choice but to step down and abdicate the position of board directory to your hands.""Ousting her is not enough. He will just come back. We must make sure he loses the will to come back."Out of nowhere, Mr. Takashi declared with conviction and for a second, the secretary was taken aback by this.One moment, he almost drove her a

"You told Jodi about everything?"Mathilde asked her secretary as soon as the two of them were finally allowed to have some private conversation within the prison hall where she was currently detained. Panic was noticeably present on the other party's face when she raised her question. Meanwhile, the secretary remained silence yet that was all enough for Mathilde to guess her response and not long after that, her shoulders dropped on the side when the realization hit her."I guess she was bound to find out about it sooner or later."She muttered under her breath with despondent undertone.An exasperated sigh escaped Mathilde's lips afterward. But then, she suddenly tenses up when she recalled about something else.Leaning towards the other party all the while grabbing a hold to the iron bars, Mathilde looked around her warily first to make sure that no ears were on them.Only when she confirmed for the umpteenth time that no one was listenin

Thank you for the information."I replied and not long after that, she hung up on her because I reckoned that it would be best if I could relay this news to the other search parties. In this way they would also know where to start looking. Of course, the first one that I tried to call was my lady boss. However, to my dismay, I was only redirected to the voice call feature of the phone.'The number you have dialed is busy at the moment. Please try your call later or leave a message aft
