"After we leave this place, take him to where to play the game" He ordered and Korin nodded, he more or less understood the order.
President Donald was confused at what was happening so he asked "Aren't you joining in the game?" President Cage turned to him with a mischievous smile curling his lips "You wouldn't want me there, enjoy your game" He then stood up and walked away with his secretaries while his assistant waited behind to carry out his Boss's order. "Mr Donald, After you" President Donald stood up to follow him, his mind didn't think of anything negative, so, he wasn't suspicious. His Secretary was about following but Korin glared at her."You aren't allowed to follow" She pouted and glanced at her boss looking aggrieved."You should go back to the company to take care of the files" Her boss to her, she nodded in understanding then walked away.The remaining two also left the restaurant.In the car, Halle had now taken over the Job of driving, while Yelena sat in the passenger's sit. They both took turns in peeping at their Boss to see what he was doing. He on the other hand was looking out the window, seeming to be deep in thought but his expression gave nothing away.
"I think you'll rather want to focus than me making you" His voice startled both girls, they quickly looked ahead. What they didn't know was that, he was never thinking of anything, he was simply looking them through the Window."Boss, well, about President Donald, did you actually sent him to play games or to die?" Yelena finally had the courage to ask him. She had been thinking of how to start the discussion, which was the reason she had been stealing glances at him.Halle also turned, curiousity laced her expression. Their Boss pressed on his temple before turning back to the Window, it seems he was bored of everything happening.
"He should be able to survive if he has such a dirty mouth" His reply made both girls heart skip. 'it's good I'm not his enemy' Yelena internally congratulated herself.'Good thing I've never offended him' Halle also thought to herself before focusing back on the driving.Shortly, they got back to the company and everyone went back to their offices. Yelena and Halle shared the same Office, so, they went in together.
Halle was first to slump on her seat, she pulled of her heels then wore her Crocs which was under her desk. "I knew Boss was Cruel but this is évil" She told Yelena who was opening a can of coke. Yelena threw another can at her before she also took her sit. "Even though he was being protective of us, that was a very brutal manner, who knows what would be the end of Mr Donald" Yelena was already feeling goosebumps creeping on her skin.Their office door was knockéd which made their heart jump but they quickly compose themselves when they heard the voice.
"Secretary Mervick, are you in?" It was the Voice of their Business Manager, they both recognize the voice."Come in" Yelena replied and the door pushed open, revealing a lady who seemed to be in her late 20s, she was putting on a white shirt and Black suit pants alongside her six inch heels. She looks absolutely elegant. She had reading glasses on too.She entered then slightly nodded at Halle who did the same before she headed to Yelena's table.
"Clara, why are you here?" Yelana asked her as it wasn't common for her to visit her at that time."The Sample of the new products is out and I was hoping you could help us pick which ones are better and the ones which aren't good to be produced" She handed a file to Yelena who looked through before nodding in approval. She dropped the file on her table before facing the Business Manager. "I'll look through them well later, for now I think it's good, you can leave it with me and come back Tomorrow" She replied and The Manager nodded with small smile on her face.She looked at both ladies in the office then after noticing something, she decided to ask "Did something happen with Mr Cage today, Mr Korin isn't even back yet" Both ladies sighed as they were reminded of their problem.
"We were just stressed out, it wasn't easy, isn't that right, Halle?" Yelena replied and Halle agreed with a nod. Clara knew they weren't totally saying the truth but she couldn't bother ask. "Okay then, see you both at lunch" She waved at them as she went out. The two in the office also got busy as they had loads of work to do.In ADOR, as long as you are in the working hours, you aren't allowed to call your superiors by their first names even if they are your best friends or siblings. You have to Respect them like you will if they were strangers and it had been the rules for years. On the other hand, the superiors could call their Juniors by their given names if they wish too.
(A/N : which is why Halle and Clara calls Yelena, Secretary Mervick or Miss Mervick)The highest position in the company is the Chairman, who currently is on hiatus then The Vice Chairman who apparently is the President. Then the Vice president, who will be revealed later. Followed by the President's personal assistant, Then the board of directors, Then the President's Secretary and Assistant Secretary. They had higher positions than some board of directors even.

Korin drove Mr Donald to an Arena. At first glance it was a gaming site and that was what he had thought. They went in and they were given a Golden card. Golden card was a tougher rank than the Silver rank, but to Novice, it seems like a VIP card.
They finally got to a Gate which Squid Game was boldly written on it. Mr Donald turned to Korin to ask a question when he was knocked out.Korin Made a gesture to the man who had knocked Mr Donald down and he was picked from the ground and carried like a sack. He was taking into a dark room where his cloth was stripped off and he was left only in briefs. "He shouldn't have crossed Mr Cage, who knows what he did?" One of the people in the room were pitying him. They turned to Korin to ask what he did but it seems the guy wasn't going to say anything to them and they couldn't dare force him to, he was their Boss's adopted Son for a reason.Mr Donald opened his eyes and looked around in confusion as he saw himself in the middle of a ring with people around it. They seemed to be cheering for him. He shook his head then closed his eyes before opening so, his eyes could clear. He also noticed his clothes were gone, his expensive wrist watch and Designer shoe.
He looked ahead and noticed a Thor looking man holding an axe. He panicked and quickly stood up, he was confused as to how he got there. He looked around to find Korin and he eventually saw him at the top of the Ring, he seemed to be enjoying himself as he had on a wicked smirk.
"Why the hell did you bring me here!!!" He screamed but Korin only behaved like he didn't hear."Start" He ordered the Man who was holding the axe. Mr Donald slowly retreated back as he saw the Man who was moving towards him. "Kill him, Kill him!!!!" The people around the ring Chanted. Mr Donald was already shaking as he managed to dodge the first swing of the axe. The man waved the axe at him the second time and he fell behind and that was when he noticed a Spear was actually behind him. He quickly picked up the spear to dodge the axe attack. Sweat was trickling down his body, his shorts was already wet, infact he seemed he had just emerged from the swimming pool."Mr Cage, I promise never to talk dirty about your Secretaries, please don't kill me" He quickly got on his knee when he finally realized what was happening. He knew he would be the owner of the arena and he must be watching the game in some way, so, he knelt.
The Third looking man didn't give up and attacked him again. He quickly got up but the Man lifted him and hit his back on the iron gate. He felt life almost left him when he felt the pain. He was unable to stand up and he knew he was dead if he couldn't. He tried crawling but fell back, he watched as the axe slowly advanced to his neck and he closed his eyes to await his death."Stop" Korin suddenly said and the axe stopped the same time.Everyone at the ring were confused as to the reason there was an order to stop but there was nothing they could do as the order came from Korin and Korin practically represented the Boss himself.Chapter 3 President Cage was sitting at his desk with his Tablet in front of him and he was focused on what he was watching that he didn't even blink an eye. His long lases created a shadow over his narrowed eyes.Groans and cheers could be heard from the background. It was the scene of Mr Donald being thrown by the Thor looking man. After seeing that he was crawling and couldn't walk on his own anymore, he took the phone beside him and dialed a number." Game over" he declared and cut off the call. He turned off the Tablet then grabbed some files on his desk to began reading. He was so engrossed in it that his concentration got broken only when his phone rang."Honey, are you coming home tonight?" A soft Voice asked. It was the voice of a Middle-aged woman, His Mother to be precise.He checked the time then glanced at his table, examining the remaining work to be done."Is there something special happening?" He asked as he couldn't remember if something of such was going to happen.
The President's office was as silent as grave yard, nothing could be heard except the continuous flip of files and the tappings on the Computer. His hair fell on his face, creating a shadow over his obscure eyes which were slightly narrowed as he read through the files in his hand. His shirt's sleeve had been rolled up to his elbow, his Wrist watch which had ADOR's Logo laid rested on his wrist. Two bottoms had been opened on his chest area, giving a glimpse of his firm chest. He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't check the time. The knock on the door broke the silence. Before he could even say 'come in', the door had been opened making him frown. But his frown deepened when he noticed it was his Brother, the guy lacked courtesy in his opinion. If not for him being strict with him, Cayden would have became a spoilt brat."I'm back" Cayden went to his Brother's side to embrace him, he knew his brother didn't fancy skinship but he would never stop hugging him. His bro
Yelena opened the door to their apartment and was welcomed with darkness as she entered. She turned on the light and went straight to her room. On getting to her room, she dropped everything in her hand then headed for the bathroom to go freshen up. Shortly, she was out, wrapped in a pink bathrobe and her ink black hair dropping water on her robe. She went to her dressing table's shelf to grab the hair dryer so she could dry her hair and in few minutes she was done. She laid on her bed then took out her phone to check the time. It was 3 minutes past 9 which means Eleanor would soon be back but since she didn't want to face her for the rest of the day, she slept off.It was around Thirty minutes later that her room door opened and Eleanor stood there in silence. On Seeing that she was asleep, she retract her legs then went out, heading for her room, she had wanted to apologise but it seems Yelena wasn't in the mood today. The moment the door closed, Yelena's closed eyes opened and s
She quickly got up from her bed and held the phone steady to her ears."What happened?" "Apparently, Mr Donald is in the hospital and is handicapped. She said it was our president who did it and filed a case against him. There's no evidence now but it's trending online" Halle explained and Yelena cut off the call to search online for the news. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Halle didn't tell her the complete news as it seems even the secretary met with an unfortunate incident last night. 'Is President Cage really Evil' 'President Donald Handicapped by his Business associate' A picture of President Donald in the hospital was posted and it seemed pretty serious.Yelena could feel the upcoming headache as she rubbed her temple. She put down the phone in her hand and got out of bed, she needed to be at work.She was about entering the bathroom when she heard a knock on her door."Come in" she already knew who it was as only the two of them lived in the house. The incident
Daryl chuckled when he noticed their expression, he hadn't meant to scare them, he was only asking."I didn't mean It negatively, you both are good with your job and I acknowledge that. Well, except Secretary Mervick who comes late on important days" he said making Yelena embarrassed. It wasn't like she purposely come late on those days but it seem like her star was always dim on those days."You both are the only Secretaries that managed to stay long with me" He added and everyone in the office agreed as before both of them came along, he had fired numerous secretaries for one offense or the other. "And do you know why?" He asked them, both girls shook their heads. "Please, enlighten us" "Since you both are Cayden's best friends, you are like my siblings too, so, I decided to overlook your offenses and you haven't gone overboard yet, so, anything you do is still acceptable" he explained and everyone in the office were surprised. Who would have thought their boss was affectionate.
Collins shook his head at the two of them as he found them childish even though they were acting matured in front of their business partners. "He must have felt shocked to find out that we were the ones to sign the proposal" Halle giggles on recalling Edward's Disgruntled look."Boss must have done it on purpose, he knew about me and Edward" Yelena replied with an happy smile as though she had finally gotten her revenge. "What's your relationship?" Collins asked curiously.Both girls turned to him as they had forgotten he was with them."My ex" Yelena replied him and he nodded in understanding as he had More or less guessed it. He had never seen the girls so unprofessional as they had been today. He had known them for almost six years now and he had also seen the way they both handled things but today's incident got him thinking if he knew them at all, apparently, they were simply having their revenge, which in his opinion was unprofessional but there was nothing he could do as it se
He agreed with Edward on one thing and that was the fact that his brother might never love her back. He knew Daryl than anyone else, that guy was Cold to the bones, he doubt if he have any space in his heart for romance. But as the good friend he was, he ought to help his friend a bit, right?He chuckled on remembering few days ago when his brother had said he treated them as siblings. He had noticed her downcast look but he didn't think much of it but who would have thought.....After watching Edward leave, he went out of his car then walked into the building as he had wanted to pick up a file he had forgotten and his Assistant had left already, so, he couldn't ask anyone to bring it for him.Yelena drove straight home, her eyes was clouded with tears and she was trying her best to not let it fall. One hand was on the steering wheel while her other hand cleaned the tears that were streaming down her cheeks. She drove into their house compound, stopped the car then grabbed her bag. S
"Can I come with you?" Cayden asked as he sensed an interesting event coming up. He couldn't afford to miss something like that.Daryl glanced at him as if considering his suggestion before nodding. Cayden was delighted to be part of the wonderful trip, he quickly stood to follow his brother who had started walking away. He knew how dangerous and cruel his brother was, going on such trips would let him learn more ways to torture people. It would be helpful someday. They got to the hallway and saw Halle, who seemed to be heading for the secretaries office. She bow on seeing her Boss and remembered she hadn't even gone to see him that morning."Good morning, Boss" "Secretary Smith, have you signed the ownership papers from the Owners of the Power plant?" Daryl asked her and she nodded. Even though she was Yelena's assistant, she was also the boss's secretary and she has different assignment from Yelena."Yes, I'll bring the papers to you when you are back, so you can view it. But I
"Behave!" Yelena who was being playful, immediately stopped. Even though she wasn't aware of what was going on, her body immediately reacted to him and thus, she mellowed."You are such a mess when drunk" He was really amazed by this side of her. Who would have thought his always composed Secretary could be like this? He helped her lay on the bed before moving the comforter up till her neck. "You should sleep now" He said then turned off the bedside lamp when he noticed her already dozing off. He stepped out of the room then closed the door behind him. Korin was standing outside and seemed to be waiting for him. "Is she asleep?" he asked. He wanted to know if the trouble maker was now asleep. She'll definitely hear from him tomorrow..."You should also go back to have your rest. Tomorrow would be a busy day" Daryl walked past Korin and headed for his room.It was the ray of the morning sun, which was penetrating through the curtain that made Yelena's eyes burn. She rubbed her
They parked the car in the underground park of the Bar. It wasn't your regular bar as it was for the top class members of the society, so it was luxurious. The securities bowed when they saw him enter since they could recognize him. Daryl was focused on how to scold his brother, so, his focus wasn't on them.Since he knew they room they were in, he went there immediately. Even before entering, he could smell the strong stench of alcohol which made him scrunch up his face in disgust."Yo, bro" Cayden waved when he noticed his brother entering. He was too drunk to notice Daryl had on a dark look.Daryl scowled on seeing their drunk condition. Halle seemed to have passed out, Yelena was busy arguing with a bottle of wine....well that's what being drunk does to you. Cayden seems to be better off the two as he still had little rationality left."Get them home" He commanded and the men behind him hurriedly went over the drunks to help them up. Daryl was about stepping out of the room
"Was he the one who poisoned the Model?" Daryl asked as he cared less what the guy's name was."No, their Boss who apparently is the CEO of SF group sent them" Daryl already suspected the culprit and he wasn't surprised that his assumption was correct. There are some set of people that had been daring to go against him and he had been linient on them because they hadn't touched his bottom line but it seems they didn't know when to stop and he had to teach them."Sometimes, I wonder if Thomas is getting more stupid, I bet he was trying to satisfy that Mistress of his" Cayden put in, He was already pitying the man who had done everything to keep his company only to see it turn to nothing overnight because of the decision he took to satisfy his Mistress. They had heard rumours of how the CEO of SF group so much treasures his Mistress and does everything she tells him to....she also own a fashion brand.Daryl had a Grim expression as he moved closer to the faintly unconscious men. His g
