While heading to elevator she saw her father keep thingking hard about the company situation.
Suddenly he stop walking and sifted his eyes on her...."Aiden, we don't have much time to overcome the turmoil of the company. We have to find your uncle Jim right away at all cost. It was very strange that he and his family vanished without any trace as if swallowed by the earth".
She saw him rubbing his eyes and face repeatedly. Then he stated resolutely " I give this special task to you. Promise me you able to handle it as soon as possible whatever the way you choose. Longer we solve this problem the highest risk would be hit the company".
Aiden: "Yess Dad, I won't let you down."
In Mr Kent Lim eyes, Aiden 25 year old was a tough girl. Her intelligence and ability above avarage. Slim, tall with delicate skin, had a pointed nose and high cheek bones, looked aloof and elegant. Her beauty was classy and had invisible distant.
Her mother had passed away since she was 5 years old and Mr Lim relised that he was not a father with so much affection to his daughter. It made her hardly to express herself to anyone.
However...
He raised her through the tough way with the best education background, high dignity, thingking like a man, and act like a mighty knight. She had a strong foundation of herself. Absolutely, she was the sole heiress of Lim Emporium.
Inside the elevator...
"Aiden"...
"Yes, Dad ?"...
"I knew that you have collected much information about the FEC. I'll give you also all data of it includeed its CEO profile. Get to know your enemy well before entering the battle, it is a half way of the winning".
Aiden nodded and aswered "Yes, Daddy. I'll do it carefully".
In a short time they were going down and reached the ground floor. They stepped out from the elevator and heading to the main entrance. In front of the building she saw a Maybach Exelero parking confortably.
Mr Paul Song, Personal Assistant of her father had been waiting and stood by the car. When he saw them heading to the car directly he opened the backseat door. Six security officers bowed respectfully and their chairman greeted them well " President... Miss Lim...Good morning. Be carefull on the way back home".
"Good morning", she and her father replied unison.
Aiden looked at her wristwatch, 'hmmm, 4.05 am, It was a long day. Honestly, every second was really valuable to be fought for and she did not fill loss in the slightest.
Outside the building, the dawn's wind blowing was quite strong. She felt chilly and susceptible as well.
Aiden gave a light nod to PA Song and got in the car. Her father then followed her and sat next to her. PA Song already sat on the driverseat, closed the door and start the car engine smoothly went onto the inner ring road drove them to the Lim mansion.
Aiden sifted her gaze to her father in query mode, "Dad, what exactly the reason of uncle Jim's cheating company?... Certainly, I know him very well not a type of that person. His intelligent and character was not suitable to be a bad guy. Why? ... Howcome ?... What trigger him dare to do those low dan dirty actions so far?... I assumed that something had happened behind the scene and definitely threated him and his family life so hard. But, what is that?..."
"My sweetheart... for the last 3 months I was digging information from various sources. From official till the most secret and darkest sources ... but I got nothing at all."
"I have many informants between above and below the line, national and Intl' Intelligent Bureau, interpol, but nobody could give clear information. Few of them even dare to bring me trash and useless data just for money. I spin in an endless labirinth of conspiracy , my dear. Huuuuhhh.....!!!"
Aiden "....". She pulled her gaze into the eyes of her father. They exchanged the confuse gaze one to another. His face seemed unsetisfy and shook his head back and forth unconsciously.
Suddenly, she felt breathless and scary...
" Dad, I guessed there was a big scenario to devestate our company sistimatically. Its not just as a simple case. Actually, more complicated than we thought."
"God !!!... Let me derivate some point of view !!!... First, Uncle Jim exactly who had a strong character, and not easy for someone or something to stirr him do something against the law.
Its proven that almost 25 years he had worked along with you hand in hand in this company and never for once broke the law. He was really a role model for the company.
Second, Emporium was a master piece for him. He built it along with you with the bare hands, took care of it with all of his heart and soul.
Several times a number of other companies attempted to disrupt Emporium and uncle Jim without the slightest doubt protected it with all means to ensure the Emporium still standing majestically like a pine tree in the winter.
Third, if he had a tend to get adventages from Emporium why he did not do it from the beginning? Why the incident happened suddenly? Like blowing up a suicide bomb. The both parties become victims and no one get the benefit on it.
So....Due to the disappereance suddenly of Uncle Jim and his family without any trace had approved that there was a veiled effort from any secret resource to eliminate all traces of the big crime which took place in front of our face."
After a long explanation, Aiden said unwaverly...
"Dad, you have done your part well then it is my turn anyway. I will access to the underworld network throughout the world to get what we need to save Uncle Jim and Emporium as well...!"
She declared it firmly, steady and fearless...!
