Kryss hesitated to hold Hillary when all the lights in the hall was out. It was the first time that such trouble arose. Abruptly there's a gunshot."Aaaaaaaaaaaah"It was a loud scream coming from their direction. Kryss was alarmed. Without second thoughts he grabbed Hillary leading her to the exit in the backstage. The hall was in total chaos. While strolling to their way out Kryss dialled a phone number. The call was quickly answered. " Meet me in the back exit", Kryss ordered and the call was ended."Hey, what's going on? Please stay away from me. I need to go back inside the hall." Hillary insisted and yanked her hand away from Kryss. "Please keep your mouth shut or else we will be in trouble." Kryss walked as fast as he can. "My bag was there and...." Hillary was not able to complete her sentence. She was snatched forcefully and was thrown inside the backseat .As soon as they heard so many gunshots the car sped away from the hall. Hillary can't speak any word. It appeared t
Hillary was unaware of Kryss's identity. She wanted to escape from him but she required to plan it well. He appeared to be not an ordinary person. "What if he is a kidnapper?", she suddenly thought. Her award has nothing to do with her safety now. She thought about the foregoing incident that took place. What if the organizer and the sponsors of the event collaborated to make winners as their subject for kidnapping? She was overwhelmed with conflicting feelings. She never heard about this international contest before, only just after Marina proposed this. Hillary was troubled about her bag that was left inside the hall. She stand up and was about to go out when Kryss spoke up."What are you doing?", he warned her. Then she added, "care to follow me?" Kryss wasn't expecting this side of Hillary. He felt somehow provoked by her question. He thought about their dreadful encounter. This might be the reason why they don't have pleasant conversation. "Why she didn't recognize me? The
Hillary had a very good sleep. When she wake up she espied that she was laying in bed. She recollected that she drifted off in the couch. She was timid when all of a sudden she realized that Kryss might shifted her to the bedroom. She noticed that she was wearing a pair of loose shirt and pajama. She wanted to stand up to confirm to him when she overheard dialogues of two people. "Lower your voice she might hear you." Kryss warned Janna.Hillary sighed. She thought that the two people were fighting. "I don't want to be the root of their argument," she whispered to herself. "Whatever Kryss, introduce me to her. Where is she?", Hillary heard the doorknob of the room was turned quickly but luckily it was locked. Hillary felt a sigh of relief. She don't want to be drag by Kryss's lover. She don't know her. She might be someone who enjoyed public scandal and she had no idea what might happen. "Don't disturb her sleep. I'll introduce you to her once she wake up okay?" "Alright. Good."
After Hillary arrived in Manhattan she purchased a new phone and straight away she waved a taxi going home. She was bothered when she spotted that there were so many people around Chen's mansion and that includes Marina and Marcus. "Ma'am, you a-are alive? I mean you a-are here?", Nick their family driver uttered through broken voice. Shocked was evident in his eyes. "Yes, where's mom and why there are so many people here?" She was unable to contain her curiosity."Mom? Mom? What happened?" She inquired in panic. She had a bad feeling that something was going on. Her mother was crying and gripping her phone while twitching.When she detected Hillary's arrival. "Oh my Hillary, what happened ? You are here, you are safe. Thank God," Thea Chen stated while embracing her. Marina was taken aback to see her too. It seemed that her arrival was unexpected. She had no chance to notify anyone for her homecoming.."Hillary I tried to contact you, what came off? You were not replying back?"
"Hello", Hillary greeted the person on the other line. "Hillary?" he was curious. "That's right. It's me Elmer. Any update concerning dad's death?" Elmer was shell shocked to received a call from unspecified number. He was assessing some files and documents of Chen's company. He needs to hand it over to assigned people. "Not yet. I don't want to dicourage you but until now we found no trace of hope in connection to your father's death apart from the photos sent to me," he stated. "I got that. Please do your best. Keep investigating. We will not stop unless we find justice." Hillary ordered.This time she needs to step up. "Yes I surely do." "And also I need all the files in the company that includes everything. Everything Elmer. I don't want to miss any details. " "Copy that." "Tomorrow I'll visit the company. I'll conduct a meeting to all departments." "You sure you can run the company?" "It's the last choice I got. I can't afford to lose it. I need to do it. " Elmer kept
When Hillary arrived home after a tough day of working in the company. She felt hounded and burdened after knowing the crisis that the company went through. She had been weighing up with a pain in the ass employees. "Hillary, how's your day with the company?" Thea asked after observing the drained look of Hillary."Mom, you need to know something." , Hillary motioned her mom to sit in the sofa."The company suffered losses for the past two years and I reviewed the files of the company last night I can tell there were so many discrepancies of information.""What information?" Thea was curious."It's strange mom. I need to figure out everything before providing you all the details.""Will the company goes bankrupt?" Thea asked worriedly."I'll not let that happen." Hillary assured her."Baby, if you need my help tell me." Hillary nodded she went to her room and evaluate the files again. She called Elmer."Hillary, what is it?" he asked."What do you know about the company?""What do y
Marcus and Marina were flumping inside Hillary's office waiting for her. When Hillary spotted her friends she hugged them."You looked stress.", Marcus remarked.They sat down."The company suffered losses and it appeared there are venoms about to inject in the company." Hillary revealed seriously.At first Marcus didn't realized what Hillary was trying to point out but later on he got what she was trying to imply."Marina and Marcus I need your help. I want you to work with me. I trusted both of you. It seemed that dad hired snakes in his company.""We are in this battle with you." Marina assured her.Hillary was moved."So what's your plan?" Marcus inquired."Wiping the trashes in this business." Hillary declared looking from a distance."I promised dad, I'll take care of your company." She uttered in her thought."Marcus I'll not put you in the position based on your ability but rather I want you to spy. I'll delegate you to the Finance Department. Please keep an eye on Michelle. S
After the mouthwatering meal that Hillary offered, Marco Rossi was perching in his office chair. He was surprised to discover that Kevin Chen's daughter was so captivating. She stole his heart in an instant. He was a playboy businessman. Devoting to girls seriously or dedicating into a commitment wasn't in his vocabulary. But Hillary was an exception. He don't pay attention to girls in the past they are just as worthy as bedmates for him. He used them to satisfy his physical needs. Nothing more. When he peeked at Hillary from afar his attention was strucked immediately."She was so beautiful." He voiced out and he can't take his eyes off her. When he received a call from her secretary few days ago he was certain that he will withdraw his investment assuming that Kevin's daughter wasn't reputable enough to run the business.Tony and Williams are his friends. They striked a point that she was too young for the position. There is a big risk that the company will fail but her words sooth
