Few minutes earlier...
.....law and order department....
" Sir , sir , I am really sorry sir....I didn't do that on purpose...I didn't knew that the patch of land is not ordinary....I never knew it was land of boss's interest . Since it was a wasted land for 7 years I thought it was one of those company's extra property.
sir please sir, save me I don't want to lose this job I have worked really hard to get here ....... ...... since the day I joined I never asked you for any favour ...please sir help me this once..please sir."
A small and pale face with beautiful but puffy eyes with full of tears while sobbing requests to her boss in department.
Ms.Nina Koay a bar graduate and topper in whole nation was a pretty simple and kind lady .She was working here from the 1st year of establishment of the company and was very capable but now if anyone will see her , is definitely going to think that a child how has spoiled her father's office papers is pleading to her mother for help.
The department head is at loss of words he doesn't know how to calm her down, he is in a dilemma that should he scold her for this big mistake of her or pasify her and tell her it's okay because she didn't knew.
Well, he himself doesn't know what next he is going to do??. The land was strictly forbidden and prohibited from industrial and commercial use . The head boss took it into her territory and it was now her property though it was under company's name but man the company here is her so everything here also belongs to her .
His smart..... no not really smart ....extra smart employs had already given the land permit to the buyer .
The Duchess has a weird though thoughtfull custom in her company, that everyyear on 17th June there will be a charity auction ( that is other thing she never attended it herself) and company and it's employs will donate .
Miss.Nina was given the responsibility to represent the headquarter of their country A in auction she was too excited and to gain some good words she thought of the land in imperial society at last moment.
It was already auctioned though the buyer refused ownership and asked for association with the cooperation to start a project on land. And that's when the news spread in the cooperation like 🔥 in forest .
Every one in A country's headquarter heard the news and with same momentum it reach to the 5 branches in different countries.( reached to the ears of the demoness...the worst)
Whole department was terrified even the manager was verge of crying soon they arranged the meeting in conference hall.
Every one was stressed and it was clearly written over their face. Discussion was intense some were still working with left over sanity they had. After all they need to find a solution, the land is important.
A lot of chaos but not didn't lack the professionalism . That was the speciality of this pharmaceutical company 'Professionalism is must no matter what problem or situation is you can't make it a weak point for the company.'
And this was none other than Duchess' quote given to her employs. Though there were hidden words of threat in this so called motivation quote but every person knew they can't offend her.
Ms. Nina was trying hard to get a hold on herself to deal with this matter it was her mistake that she signed an agreement over the land without considering the outcome
.She knew backing off from the contract will bring a lot of a lot humiliation to the company name because they got a lot of public attention due to the auction now they can't back off.
Ms. Nina fought really hard and came with a suggestion"Sir, can't be pursue the man with double amount of money he bought the land"
Everyone in the room was thinking same but due to the company policy that no matter who made the mistake company's money can't be used to cover it up , it was only in head officials' hands though they also had to give a good reason and explanation thus no one spoke it out.
Hearing her they thought she is right it is the last hope for them because any other will buy them a law suit of breaching a contract at least for next 15 years the land was under other party's direct authority.
" Do u think he is a fool, or do u think I am a fool sitting on the chair of law department's head . Don't you know he was highest bidder with amount 10 million he is not someone who lacks money 💰.
Miss. Nina I know u are stressed but don't freak out and give me such lame ideas . You one of best in country's law enforcement and I really admire you for your talent don't let me down as your mentor" .
The department head was really disappointed but he also knew she was scared and was blurring out nonsense.
He looked forward to her bright future this woman with pale face now was the same sharp toughed woman who had won every case she took in . She was smart and willful . But right now you can only imagine what bought terror to such a woman.
It was all because of that demoness her terror so much that only her name was enough to make her employs cry.
A thought of her and he was back to reality . He dug all of law books and also gave a try to Miss .Nina's suggestion that he himself rejected a minute before but outcome was no good . His request to change the patch of land ,double amount repayment and all other tactics got very respectfully rejected.
He was completely frustrated he wanted to yell on the one who was at fault and he also knew it was his fault to give full authority to his employs who knew that a simple auction which was a custom of company and was nothing new in it will bring a chaos in his busy but peaceful life.
He vowed that in his life he will never let his employs make a single decision regarding his boss's concern.
But what can he do now the deed was done..... ...........sign..
"What the hell is this ???? " a cold voice which was not at all loud but echoed in the room directly reaching to his soul . The next moment a file with a bunch of papers fell on this work table with a small thud but it also had same effect as her voice .
He was scared to death , suddenly he started to feel the atmosphere of room freezing but also felt some warm and sticky liquid droplets appearing on his forehead and palms. He was not at all willing to face her but what , it is not possible to evaporate himself in air or teleport himself .He has to do this he is responsible for this position of his now it's point to show his loyalty .
( well.... loyalty..... isn't he thinking a bit ....)
He stood up with his head bowing the person standing in front of him despite his height taller than her was giving him a inferior feel by just her cold look. He suppressed the crying sensations send by his emergent nerves to the stimulus of terror send by her eyes .After one peek he never looked up .
He stole a glaze at his surroundings and spoke with a professional tone he dare not make another hole for his grave by his own hand by forgetting her qoute.
"Dr. we admit the mistake and are regretting to let you down . We are ready to do anything to make it up to you and are also ready to bear all the concequences ."
He was disappointed in himself but wanted a second chance but while speaking his disappointment was so clear that Grace turned on her heels and slightly nodded to her secretary as she headed towards the private elevator which was designed for only her cabin floor.
It was her favourite torturing technique. She was doctor after all though heart specialist and thoracic surgeon but her knowledge of human psychology was exceptional. She knew that curiosity mixed anxiety and fear is worst but when u leave someone hanging in a situation of action with that suprise element it becomes extreme.
( well....Dr.Grace sometimes ur own trick can backfire in future but right now it seems that your trick is working).
It was torture for all in the room .Head of the department was horrified he was a law expert and had experience of ages , tackled many psychological pressures but right now this woman had used the technique which worked like he was a normal man terrified with his boss no words.
All were confused they knew this matter brought her back to headquarters and she was not going to just let it go. She is a perfect businessman ...oops...businesswoman ( go feminist go) even her words were worthful .
Secretary Jo gave Head of department and Ms. Nina both two papers each. And patted the Head of Department with a smile as saying everything's gonna okay and left behind his boss track.
Head of department's letter was simple transfer letter he was now transferred to country B which is well known for it's law complexion and political influence but he has 5 year experience of that country of it was not impossible for him to work their but he was middle age with family and migrating at this stage was worst he could have imagined.
Miss. Nina got a termination letter it was end for her . She was more than just shocked . She knew it would not be easy but never thought of this. With the letter in her left hand and right hand over mouth with few drops of water she slowly made her to washroom.After 10 minutes she came back packed her belongings and left no one said a word. It was not they wanted her to leave or didn't have sympathy it was because they knew she hated most to be pitied by others.
