Chapter 20 - The first attack?

Unlike her first day at work, she never did enter the office any longer. Due to her being caught neglecting her own health Caleb and Tristan reprimand her from going to the office. They let Zeus handle the rest while she took Zeus's job in her own company. It's only when things get crucial then she finally steps in. But then she have to go through the 10 levels of endless nagging from her brothers. It has been almost two weeks she took over and the deadline that she gave to Cole. He's still the same. Caleb still says that he'll wake up only he doesn't know when. And she got used to rant on him every night acting like he's listening. Zeus report to her from time to time. During those time, many spies were sent to find out the identity of the new CEO but to no avail. Either they were killed or M.I.A (missing in action). With the help of Tristan, Carl and Jacob it's easy to detect those spies. Harrison is still dealing with William who seem relentless on making a name in military. Although he could have done settle it easily but it seem they lack of entertainment lately. Thus he chose to play with the little lamb for a while.

Working in her own company, she don't have a lot to do. Most of the time she oversee her team and instruct them through video. None would be able to enter her office easily. Every little detail she will go through with them and will only handle crucial matters. That's when her employees sees her in and out of the office.

"There's trouble. It seem that idiotic moron make a move. Trying to sabotage the shipping process and changing the material. He leak it to the media and the client." Derek inform after he got a call from Zeus.

"Oh... It seems it's not his first attack. He's been trying to get hold of that shipping process and i just let him do as he please. Tell Zeus not to worry. It's just a decoy. Everything is under that idiot's name. Just hope there won't be any inspection." Aurora still looking calm. She won't be the President of SKY for nothing. When she said it's just a child's play, then it is just a child's play.

"You could have told me yourself Aurora. Why you're making me do troublesome work." The voice from Derek's phone making she glare at Derek. It seems he didn't hung up but put it on loud speaker. This guy is unbelievable.

"Why would you worry much about it? The only person you should worry about is that sneaky fox that's been looking for opportunity to make his appearance. It's too tiring to keep up with that crooked mind of his. I don't want to deal with it." Aurora said lazily. It seems dealing with the ugly scheme making her become moody for no reason. Especially when it comes to William. She just don't have good feeling from that guy. Right now she's been helping Tristan and Harrison to stop him from expanding his influence. It seems someone have been planning him from behind. That's what worry her the most. The unseen enemy. Lurking from the shadow.

However when Zeus and Derek heard that, they quickly press emergency button connected to everyone no matter how far they are. The emergency button is only for one thing. The one thing that they fear the most. Her poison start to act up. And this is one of the sign.

"Derek,,," Zeus said nervously.

"I got it. Her nose is bleeding. I'm taking her home." Derek immediately hung up and run to Aurora's side.

"I'm fine. Take me to him. I need to tell him something." Aurora start being stubborn. Wiping the blood that's trickling from her nose.

"No. You can't. We need to get back. Caleb will be there." Derek hold onto Aurora's arm when she tries to push him off. Usually with her strength, she can easily push him. But not today. Not when the pain start to make her finger go numb.

"Please, Derek. Take me to him. I want to tell him something before it's too late. Let Caleb come along. Please Derek." She begs and Derek finally concede and told Caleb to meet them at City A hospital. They'll be taking helicopter. The easiest and fastest way to go to their destination. Aurora sigh relief when she saw the sight of the hospital. She knew she had been working too hard on this and have been enduring the heavy emotion during those three years. It's a miracle her poison didn't act up during that time. But only to attack her during this crucial moment. Just when she was about to make her final move to lure the real brain behind William's act. She's not sure how long and if she'll survive this attack. But she really need to tell Cole her real feeling and to apologize for doing her work halfway. The rest will be up to Cole.
