Chapter 13 - INTRUDERS (3)

"Where is everyone?" Jin asked one of their helpers.

"Miss Jazz is still sleeping while the rest are gathered at the conference room. Madame Selene has also asked that you join them after your breakfast." The helper politely informed the latter.

A few minutes later Jazz showed up.

"What do you think they're talking about?"

"Probably about our given tasks and how we did with aunt Selene's assessment." Jin answered finishing up her breakfast.

Jazz didn't take long in finishing her own and together they went to join the rest at the conference room.

After some greetings, they were immediately brief with the things that they missed then later on continued with what is being discussed before the two of them joined.

Their discussion regarding their designated tasks wasn't long as they still have to acquire new information other than what Selene has already told them.

Their next topic is about their assessment. They were given various comments and pointers on the things that they should improve.

Julian will have to work in being more flexible and agile while gaining a little bit more muscle as some of his movements are a bit if not too stiff. Though it wasn't much, his speed has decreased as well.

Jaden has the best rhythm among the five of them having a perfect balance with his speed and strength, so he just needs to continue to improve it and their grandfather also suggested that he ought to develop more lower strength.

Jake may be the one with an upper hand when it comes to brute strength but his reflex is a bit slow thus he tends to receive the attack head-on rather than to avoid them. His training regime then consists of a lot of physical combat.

Jin has an unmatched speed paired with her quick reflex and flexibility, enabling her to move swiftly, all she needs now is to improve her strength, though her attacks aren't considered to be weak there is no harm in improving something that can still be improved.

Jazz has shown the most improvement, having lost some weight her speed and flexibility are almost comparable with Jin. What she needs to improve more though is her stamina as she tends to get tired more easily than the rest.

After receiving their individual training regime, Jake has slightly brief Jazz and Jin with the project that he is planning to give them. This has then made the two busy during the next few days.

On that same day, Jake is officially hired by Pristine and he is to start working within a week.

Jaden on the other hand has already started to report at the hospital.

Three days later Anna and Hanna finally arrived.

"Mom, Aunt Anna." Jake shouted being the first one to see them.

The rest of them heard him thus they all dash towards the living room except Jaden who is fast asleep.

"Woah what are those?" Julian pointed at the pile of luggage that is being carried inside followed by endless racks of clothes.

"Your things." Anna answered leaving them speechless.

"How did the airport let you carry all those things?" Jazz asked bewildered with the amount of staff her mom and aunt have brought along with them.

They both look at her like she'd lost her mind. This is when she realized one trivial matter.

"Of course you used the private jet." She exclaimed slapping her forehead in the process.

"As the five of you will be living here for a while we've decided to bring some of your things knowing that you might have not had that much." Hanna explained further.

"It is good to have you back auntie May." Anna hugged their long-time housekeeper then politely asked her to assist the couriers to bring all the items towards the owners' respective rooms.

All the luggage and clothing racks are labeled with their names to make the couriers work easier and it's a good thing that the house has a lift, though they rarely use it except in a situation like this.

After some catching up they decided to go visit their grandmother's grave. The old Mr. Rhodes has asked her two daughters to buy some flower wreaths along their way earlier.

Their grandmother's grave is located on the western part of the Hamilton property. As the weather is good they decided to bring food with them and have a picnic.

Five minutes later they finally reached the huge oak tree where Mrs. Rhodes ash is buried. The oak tree is planted by their grandmother herself and has wished for her ash to be buried underneath it when she dies.

It has been a while since they have visited thus the weeds have grown quite tall. They then cleaned the surroundings of the tree before Mr. Rhodes put the flower wreath at the bottom then they all said a silent prayer.

Next, they went to the next tree located just a few meters from their grandma's tree.

In front of the tree is a beautiful placard with a carved name Jericho Soul Rhodes.

Jericho is the younger brother of Selene, Anna, and Hanna. He had died during the incident eight years ago trying to make sure that they can all leave the house unscathed.

After cleaning and placing a flower wreath they moved towards the Wisteria tree just a few meters away. It also has a placard with a carved name Sienna Jules Hope Rhodes.

Julian and Jin's younger sister, she was only five that year and they all fail to protect her.

They stayed there for almost two hours before finally deciding to go back to the main house.

Their parents decided to have some rest while their grandfather and Aunt Selene had to attend to some important matters.

Meanwhile, the five of them went to the conference room to further discuss the project that Jazz and Jin are working on.

"Though you've assigned a team to create a plan and present a whole presentation regarding the renovation, we have decided to create one ourselves just in case we are not satisfied with their work." Jin informed Jake.

Jazz then showed and explained to them the content of their plan and presentation.

"Not bad, I have a feeling that you're going to end up using this plan rather than what they've come up with unless they have thought of the same thing." Jaden commented as he continues to scan their presentation fully approving it.

Julian agreed as well then proceeded to discuss which company they will get to work with the said renovations.

"We have already found an interior designer who is well adept with the theme that we wish to do as for the company we are still looking for the best option. Though we manage to narrow it with three choices." Jazz showed them their options in which Julian let them choose whichever they seemed fit for the job.

"By the way will we be renaming the place or we will retain its name?" Jin asked.

"That is still currently on debate as 30% percent of the share is still owed by the shareholders and 15% is still owned by the previous owner." Julian sighs as it has been months since they've owned a majority of the share and they still cannot come in terms whether to change the place name or not.

Jin contemplated for a while before finally asking. "Do you want us to handle this as well?"

"Can you?" Julian asked back a bit shocked that his sister and cousin are so willing to work with things related to running a business though they handle some business matters in the past they never volunteered to do anything and all are minor things that can be accomplished in a small period of time.

Jin just shrugs asking Jazz to answer. "The three of you have more things on your plate right now and seeing that we will be having more free time and fewer things to do we decided to do some other things to pass time."

"Well thank you, little sis and little couz for your consideration." Jake joked with the two ladies.

"Yeah whatever, so the meeting is tomorrow at 10 am right?" Jin asked Jake which the latter confirmed.

"I have an idea so can you request for the meeting to be moved by afternoon?" Jin has a glint on her eyes which caught the interest of his brother and the twins.

"What do you have in mind?" Jaden asked.

Jin smiled before explaining to them the plan she and Jazz have formulated after some research they've made.
