"Hello to you and I miss you too grandpa.." after waiting for her grandfather nagging stops, Velove finally answered him.
"hmph. Miss me? what miss? if you missed this old man you would call me everyday, not called me only after I told you to call me back." Velove eyes were laughing by this point, her grandpa although in the eyes of many were very cold, strict, and a domineering general, but only in front of her would he acted like a child.
"Yes yes, it was my fault and I'm sorry grandpa, I'll call you more often from now on. Now tell me, what's the matter? I know you wouldn't call me and asked me to call you back if there's nothing urgent" Velove knows her grandfather, whenever he misses her, he would call her, but he rarely ask her to call him back if there's nothing he wanted to talk to her.
"....ah yes, th- about that.. I need your help princess" there's a deafening silence in the room while she waits for her grandpa explanation. Hearing no objections from his granddaughter, he start to explain his intentions,"I'm holding a business convention next tuesday, and this event will lasts for a week but one of the speaker suddenly got into an accident yesterday so we need you to replace him." Velove could hear her grandfather nervousness from her phone.
"...Why me?" her gentle voice suddenly turned a bit cold, but the old man let out a sigh of relieved because she hasn't rejected him, this means he still had a chance.
"Aiya, if not my beloved granddaughter then who? My granddaughter is a super genius that came one in a million years, so how could this proud grandfather not ask for you? Aiyo.. my dearest.. help this old man of yours this once, besides until when are you going to live in that secluded island for? you need to go out and explore the world. You are already 18 years old. Vivi how about this grandfather introduce you to a nice gentleman? He-"
"It's troublesome, but I'll go" Velove really wanted to decline her grandfather cry for help, but her grandfather rarely asking for help so she thought even though it will be troublesome, she will help him because she loves this noisy grandfather of her's.
"Aiyo, why so cruel to this old man? my granddaughter doesn't love me anymore wu..wu.. What crime did I commit in my previous life to be hated by my own granddaughter ha? wu..u.."
It seems like the old man had gone senile. When did she said she hate him?
"Grandpa, I said I.Will.Go." Velove took a deep breath trying to curb her annoyance that was itching to be let out.
"Oh. You..you said so yourself that you will definitely go right? you can't go back on your words. Vivi, you don't have to prepare anything, I will make arrangements for you. Hehehe.." Without even saying goodbye or a proper closure the old man turned off the call as soon as possible afraid that his granddaughter would change her mind.
Irritated by her grandfather actions, Velove massage her forehead, feeling the headache coming.
She pressed the number one button on the vintage classic model telephone then there is a knocking sounds on her study room doors.
"Come in" The door open and butler Ye came in with a tray of biscuits and tea.
"Good evening young miss,"
"Evening Ye Si. Oh yes, I will go the Capital City the day after tomorrow. Please make some proper arrangements." Velove take the tea from her butler and take a sip.
"Certainly young miss, anything else?" Butler Ye was a bit surprised his mistress planning on leaving the safety of this island and go to the mainland. For as long as he had known her, Velove Vladimir is the type of person who hated, even despised the presence of other human being that she's not acknowledge.
"Nothing. You are dismissed Ye Si" Velove was enjoying her evening tea before she got back to finished her piled up works.
Capital City, A Country.
Jun Kaien was busy completing his works for the day in his office at the top floor of the massive Jun Corporation Tower. His long fingers dancing on the top of the keyboard fluidly, his eyes was focused to the computer screen in front of him.
He was almost finished when there was an incoming call from his private cell phone, he was about to reject it, but looking at the name on his phone screen, he stand up from his chair and pressed the picked up button.
"Good afternoon General Shen"
"Ah, Jun boy.. I apologize for interrupting your busy schedule but I have a favor to ask of you"
"Yes, please ask away General" Jun Kaien had nothing but respect towards this great General.
