2024-10-29 19:42:56“Good Morning, Boss”
“Good Morning, Miss Boss”
“Good Morning, Boss”
In the company, several employee’s humbly saluted Lydia wherever she went. And by the time she stepped into her private elevator, she had already been greeted by over 200 employees.
“Mya, reschedule all morning appointments. I need you to call up all company secretaries and department managers to my office immediately.”
“Right away, Boss.” Mya took off like the wind, just on cue before Lydia’s phone began vibrating.
Seeing the caller I.D, Lydia showed a true smile. “Is it done?”
[Hmmm…] The man on the other end hummed in acknowledgement. [When do you want to put your plan into motion?]
“2 days from now… And thank you.”
[Hmmm.]
Lydia dropped the call, seeing Mya approaching from outside.
Her office walls allowed her to see the long hallway leading to her office. But those approaching her office wouldn't be able to see what she did here. Mya approached her door with a group of managers and secretaries.
Once inside, Mya lined them up vertically so she could see their faces.
“In 2 hours time, everyone’s progress report regarding their sector as well as the JT-File’s I've been requesting within these last 2 weeks should be brought into my office immediately. Failure to do that will lead to your immediate expulsion in the company.” Lydia said coldly.
In the past, she would try to give all her employee’s more time when they couldn't finish their projects. (WHICH WAS ALWAYS). Her, Mya and a few others would later spend extra hours at work daily, trying to finish these incomplete projects. There were people who did their work on time and there were those that didn't.
She was 19 years old and truly young to the business world, thinking of showing kindness to these bunch of ingrates.
In her past life, she had never sanctioned anyone harshly because they would always cry about how their kid was sick or how they had an accident and so on.
But now, she narrowed her gaze on them, releasing her aura like a lion stalking its prey.
Dear God! Why did their boss suddenly become so scary? Some people grew nervous as they heard her demands, while others smiled and smirked at those who were nervous.
“This company does not keep people who slack at their jobs. The time is 9:25 AM... Ladies and gentlemen, you only have until 11:30 AM to bring the documents to my office. Also, if two or more files are identical, then both personnel will be fired from the company… Go.”
Everyone quickly rushed out of her office as if they were preparing for war. Some already had sweaty palms.
It's good…
Lydia focused her attention on Mya. “ I need you to make arrangements for a temporary place for me to stay in. You have until Friday to get this done.”
“Boss, why temporal?”
“Because I will move in with someone real soon.” Lydia answered with a warm smile on her face.
”But Boss, isn't your Family Trip this weekend? You have already bought the tickets and paid for the lodging, aren't you going?”
“No ... and keep this conversation confidential.”
Mya looked at her boss and knew that something was up. Alright.
“Your wish is my command, boss”
Like so, Lydia made the first move on her chess board, making sure to block all paths the enemy could take. And on the other side of the city, an extremely well-sculpted man sat on his chair listening to his assistant’s report.
“Boss, My investigations are completed. Those men all belong to a vicious gang called black Lotus. Sources say her family hired them to act as her bodyguards, so as to spy on Iss Lydia at all times… Boss, they have done several crimes that could put them in jail for good, such as: child trafficking, selling drugs and murder. Their next child trafficking operation will take place tomorrow at 8 PM.” Secretary Mike answered professionally.
The devilish mysterious man raised the corners of his lips slightly. “You know what to do.”
“Affirmative, boss. Leave it to me.”
------- Lydia’s Office —----
Silence.
Forty people stood in knee-deep silence, feeling the atmosphere so brittle it could snap at any given moment.
Among the forty, some were head secretaries and head managers for the various company departments. As for Mya, she was more of a personal assistant/secretary to Lydia.
Everyone showed different expressions when standing before their 19-year-old boss.
Lydia chuckled. “Let’s start, shall we? Firstly, those that didn’t turn in their files or have submitted incomplete documents. Please step forward.”
Eighteen people stepped forward, which was almost half the group. Lydia’s eyes were cold. “You're all fired. You have 30 minutes to evacuate the premises with your belongings.”
What? Fired?
These people were dumbfounded, their expressions changing from shock to confusion, disbelief, and rage.
“You little vixen! Who do you think you are? Don’t you have any respect for your seniors? Who gave you the authority?”
“Hmph! Just you wait! I’ll tell you father and we’ll see who has the last laugh.”
“That’s right. Everyone knows that you're just a puppet boss. You have no right to fire us.”
“I will definitely tell your sister about this. Just you wait.”
“Blah, blah, bla, blah, blah.”
One by one, many didn't believe they were fired. One must know that since the girl started the company, they have been stepping over her while still getting a fat salary. The girl has never voiced any complaints, making them think she was a weak chicken that could be strangled at any time.
What's more, the girl always obeyed her family’s every command. So how can she fire the people her family hired and placed in the company? They don't believe it!
Many felt that even if they left today, it won't take long before that family sends them back into the company. But how could Lydia let that happen?
“Quiet.”
Lydia’s tone wasn't loud, but carried the same authoritative stance that made a shiver crawl up their spines.
“I would like to remind you all that this is my company that I built from scratch… Not my family’s. You think I don’t know what you have been up to in my company? You all never finish any reports or projects assigned to you. You take company paid vacations whenever you like, you come late to work and leave way too early…. Tell me, does this look like a charity organization to you? I gave you time to adjust but you failed to do so… Leave my company now or I will have to call security!!!”
“You!--” Many panicked, fleeing the office as fast as they could, not forgetting to throw threatening words on their way out. “Just you wait”
Finally, some peace and quiet.
After the rotten eggs were thrown out, the good ones were left standing. “The rest of you have all worked hard. It’s been tough on you. Although your work needs improvement, it’s still very impressive. Keep up the good work. Dismissed”
“Thank you boss,” They yelled obediently, feeling their heart drum wildly while exiting the office.
~Phew.
They wiped their sweat, secretly swearing never to get on their boss’s bad side.
Too scary!
As for Mya, she was pleased that her boss was finally willing to get rid of all those people. They never worked and gave her and her boss constant headaches daily... But back to business.
“Boss, I found a suitable penthouse for you to stay in.”
“Good. Go make arrangements for me. This weekend, I moved in. Additionally, hire new people to fill vacant positions in the company.”
“Yes, boss!”
Lydia left the office with a brimming smile, and Lydia was once again all to herself, picking the phone to make a call.
“Alec… Let’s get married.”
[__] The man was first stunned and rendered speechless. But he quickly came back to his senses. And with a light chuckle, he gave her an answer.
[Sure, Wifey]

-----The Hart Family House------In the dining room, a beautiful vase crashed on the wall.~Crashhhhhh!!!!!The sound was thundering."That Bitch!!!! How dare she fire our people? Isn't it the family's company?" Mrs. Hart yelled angrily."Mom, how am I supposed to secure my position in the company now? All the people that backed me up were fired...What could have gotten into her recently?... She was always so obedient before,” Camilla asked with a confused tone.Mr. Hart looked at his angry wife and frowned."Calm down, I've already investigated it.... Those buffoons that we hired didn't even try to blend in at the company. They hadn't been doing their jobs for a long, long time.....Also, everyone else in the company had always complained about their behavior. I'm guessing that it was because of these complaints that the dumb girl fired them. To top it all off, they also took paid vacations without anyone's knowledge. Those damn bastards.... They were stealing our money!!!" Mr.Hart

There were even auctions that sold the children to the highest bidders.Tonight, they had also carried out a similar auction as well. The buyers had nodded and were about to collect all 24 kids.Nate saw a 45 year old man slowly walking towards them. He had a pot belly and a lot of jewelry all ove

-------Hart Family House-------- "Dad, I just lied to a police officer for you. So be honest. Where did you hire Nate from? Why didn't you check his background? With all his crimes... If he lied against you guys... then, then… all of you will definitely go to jail.” Lydia asked with worry. But her concern only made them uncomfortable. "From now on, I will hire my own bodyguards, so you don't need to worry about me. I also have to go to the police station to hear what he has to say. If he lies about you guys, then I will try to help you all.. Don't forget... he mentioned your names..." Lydia added in panic. And sure enough, Mrs. Hart almost had a heart attack on the spot. What the hell? There was no way that she would allow Lydia to find out.. no way in hell!! In Fact the whole family thought the same way, not just Mrs. Hart. "You're right. I should have looked into it more. When would you be going to the police station?.You know that we care for you... If you think that it would b

One day later, the same police officers came back to the Hart residence during breakfast."Good morning, Miss. We have terrible news. Last night, your bodyguard and his crew died mysteriously."Died?Lydia was taken aback. How did her family do it? Who was helping them in the shadows?"Weren't they under police custody? How could they be murdered then?" Lydia asked while pretending to look very depressed."Miss, last night, there was a power outage at the station, and by the time the lights came back on, they were all dead. We suspect someone hired skilled assassins to sneak into the station and murder them." The first officer stated while vigilantly observing everyone’s expressions."Yes. We suspect that it was one of their acquaintances on their line of business. The person was probably scared of being ratted out and hence, decided to murder them all." The second officer added.At this point, the other Hart family members were relieved."That's really sad.. I would've loved to talk

In a blink of an eye, the days flew like running water. -----Hart Residence----- The air is so brittle it could snap in half. No one spoke, yet everyone was moving in and out of the main building severally. Holding their breaths, the household staff were quick on their feet, transporting the many luxurious suitcases with utmost care. "You idiot! Are you drunk? Do you know how much my bags cost? Even if I sell you 20 times on the black market, it won't cover the damn cost!" "Take it easy! Take it easy, you MORON. That's my latest baby in your hand. If I get so much as a scratch on it, I'll deduct your salary for the next three months!" The Harts bellowed like fire-breathing dragons at the useless staff around them. They wore luxurious attires and controlled the scene with their noses raised to the sky. And when everything was packed, they stood before the vehicles, facing saying their farewells to Lydia in a rushed manner. "Sister, don't worry. Like I've said, I'll take enough pic
His Reward Freedom
Standing before Julia was her driver and the head guard, who were tapping their feet and crossing their hands on their chests. Lydia paid no heed to their actions as she calmly nodded at Mya. "Here... Take it." Mya handed them a card. "With this, I expect you both to handle things around here, and get daily supplies, be them groceries or lightbulbs if it comes to it." "Ahhhh!" The duo was ecstatic, sending their hands to the card. They've worked here so long that even if they didn't respect Lydia, they knew she was a very generous person. Meaning the money in the card should be three or even ten times more than what they might require. Which gives way to another fundamental question -- Who among them will get to carry it? The driver and the head guard stared at each other viciously, forgetting they were still in the Presence of their boss. Hmph! The driver raised his nostrils to the sky, pulling the card to his end. "Are you picking a fight with me? You and I know that
His Reward A Good Friend
Closing her eyes, Lydia felt her body relax. No matter how revenge-stricken she seemed, there was a part of her that feared her family.Lydia took deep breaths, calming her trembling hands. She knew it was silly, but living under their control for almost 30 years in her previous life made her body agitated whenever she disobeyed them. Mya didn't notice her strangeness, steadily drove the vehicle into a paid Parking building. Around and around they circled till they reached the fourth floor. Very casually, Mya took Lydia's suitcase before opening the door. They were going to switch to a very mediocre vehicle from here on out. Soon, they were on the road again, heading back where they came from. Lydia nodded approvingly, seeing the gated residential community they drove into. "Are you here for a visit or do you live here? If so, please show your ID, blah, blah, blah."The security guards did brief but thorough checks. Although this gated community wasn't at the top of the food ch

Time always flies by fast when one has too much on their minds.Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.The clock was ticking, and in a blink of an eye, Lydia had already been informed of Alan's arrival in the company. "Send Mr. Alan in."With a touch of a button, she spoke to Mya in the other room. Alan, Alan, Alan... The two-faced prick came in with a flashy smile, as though they were the truest of friends. "It's a relief to see you're doing better, miss Lydia. Having serious headaches could cause extreme dizziness if not careful." He cheekily advised, undoing his middle suit button and nonchalantly taking a seat as though the place belonged to him. Alan squeezed his finger lightly on his armrest while still focusing on Lydia. "Since the meeting has begun, let's get down to business. The agenda for today is your Will."Mya sat on the side, taking the meeting minutes. Lydia's requests must not be altered. As requested, Mya also recorded everything on tape. This was agreed upon by all p

His Reward Reality Hits - 2
Yes! They must do something now. Camilla nodded in agreement, also thinking of her current bank account balance. Kelvin was better. Thanks to Camilla always wanting to prove she was better than Lydia, she was the one paying for most of the things he bought. In his account, he still had 2 million. If he was smart, he would leave the country and start a new life somewhere else. But the greed in him didn't want to let Lydia's wealth go. Thinking of how much Lydia loved him, she was bound to forgive him later, right? Looking at the 4 million in his account, Father Hart knew any moves he was doing next would have to be a smart one. They didn't have money to throw around again. Very quickly, Father Hart transferred 3.7 million to his private account, before showing the family the remaining 300 thousand he had. "Look. We must put our hands together if we want to pass through this hurdle. Everyone must transfer at least 60% of their current balance and contribute to paying an

With the fire calmed, Father Hart slowly took a seat, and reached for his chest pocket revealing his smoke pipe."Alright. We are family. This includes you, Kelvin... In times like these, we must stick together and fight the common enemy.""The maid?"Father Hart calmly blew a whiff of smoke from his mouth. "Yes and no."Eh? Everyone stared at each other wide-eyed, before focusing on Father Hart, wanting to get a piece of his sage wisdom. "Lydia isn't the real issue here. Her decision solely relies on how the public views the matter too.""That's right!" Camilla exclaimed. "That fool is a sheep that always needs a Shepherd to pull her along. Her emotions are only heightened because of the many comments she's reading online. So although we can't entirely win the matter, we can still hire a navy online to whitewash ourselves to some extent."(*An online Navy is a group of people online hired by their clients to leave comments and direct the wind of topics in their client's favor.)To

The chaos was just too much but that's none of Lydia's business. She knew her family would probably rush back home as soon as word went out. After all, she wasn't answering any of their calls and she wasn't at home either. Desperation could make even the smartest of people break. During this time, they will become more radical, resorting to even darker plots to get their way. Should she be at home, who knows what they might do to force her to sign the Will? A cornered rat could bite, leaving deadly diseases on its victim. Lydia squinted her eyes dangerously, staring at the monitor before her. Sure enough, the micro cameras she had installed when buying the house proved useful. On the other side, her family had just returned home slamming their bags and cursing at their luck of being caught in a deadly scandal. Do you know the feeling of having the will almost done, only to get caught in this matter that might make the useless maid defensive?Dammit!Harvey ruthlessly ran his
His Reward Checkmate
Thinking of his plans, Father Hart dared not tell his big-mouthed daughter, lest she one day drinks and blow his secrets all up! [You will go on your knees and beg for forgiveness!] "Beg? You want me to beg that lowly maid? Why should I-" Tut~ Father Hart dropped the call feeling it was pointless talking to someone whose brain was filled with wallpaper paste. Has he been talking with water in his mouth? Or is she just normally that stupid. In truth, Camilla knew what she had to do. But knowing wasn't the same as accepting. Since she was born, she has never been on her knees before Lydia. The thought of it made her blood boil. At this time, she and Kelvin had long run to their vehicle, trying to drive away amidst the crowd of camera flashing freaks. Throughout their grand escape from the building to their vehicle, Kelvin hadn't caught his breath yet. He had an uneasy feeling. "Baby, what happened? What's wrong?" "She knows! The whole f**ching world knows, that's what's HAP

She still didn't think it was her fault till now. He was originally her boyfriend, so why was everyone pointing her out to be a mistress? A side piece he would grill and eat, throwing the leftovers away as he liked? No. [You think you're still right? Do you think I care about your opinion? After we finally finalized the damn thing, you and Kelvin just had to come along to ruin it for us all! For the Will... we will have to get back into her good graces.] "Why?" Camilla frowned. "Wasn't there a plan-C which would commence in case Lydia refused to give us her properties? Can't we just move on with the plan and kill her as intended?" [When I say you're an idiot, you think I'm insulting you! Now that you've openly stated our plans of getting her wealth, should she die, all fingers would first point to us!] Really! How come none of his children inherited his brain? Should he have a DNA test to confirm? Then again, they all look like photocopies of him. Knowing how stupid and depend

Finally, it was over.The days went by longer than usual, perhaps because some waited for their big pay, while others looked forward to other sources of happiness.For some, it was their hate and fear of living among snakes that made their bodies recoil in disgust.“Dad, here!

But as a big girl who is grown up, how can I always disturb them with my needs?]Nonsense! What is disturbing about it? Don't you know you are the family's baby?"A vein appeared above Camilla's right brow.'Is this the point I'm trying to make? Can you just shut up and use your brain for once? You're supposed to be smart, so why can't you see my point?'If Camilla didn't know Lydia well enough, she would've thought she was acting stupid on purpose.[Lyly...
