Chapter 18 - Black figure

[ In the next morning ]

Angeline sat in front of the dining table. Nanny Sue gave her breakfast and put it in front of her. "You will follow your schedule as usual until 3 pm cause you will have a meeting with your father's client at 4.30 pm but... we must go there before 4.25 pm," Jimmy said as he flipped through Angeline's daily schedule. Jimmy is more than a private driver but he was also her PA in any matter. His job is to make sure that she followed her schedule perfectly as Alexander want her to be more disciplined. "Alright... got it" she gave a thumbs up. From 9 am until 11 am, she will have training in the headquarters and 1 pm until 3 pm, she will have her ballet lesson in her training room.

[ After the ballet lesson ]

She laid down on her bed. < I'm so tired....> she whimpered. She heard someone is knocking at the door. < I just laid down for a while > she cried. "Yes... come in" she shouted. The door opened by nanny Sue one of the maids in their mansion. "Your father gave you this" Nanny Sue gave her a dress covered by a black cover. "Thank you..." she stands up and took the cloth to her dressing room. The hour struck to 3.30 pm. She sighed and stand up to the bathroom. After taking a warm refreshing shower, she wears the sky blue dress. "Hey... I think I have got a match handbag" she opened her closet and a lot of handbags arranged beautifully. "Found it" she took the blue bag.

"Where is she?" Jimmy waited for her in the car as he looked at his watch. She closed the door and went to the car that park outside of the mansion. Something weird gotten her attention. She walked into the dark as the street light was broken and tried to find it but she couldn't find it anywhere. She saw it under the dim light. The figure was pitch black and she couldn't see its face. Her curiosity made her walked further from her home. "Angeline!" Jimmy shouted from a distance. "What are you doing there. We will be late for the meeting. Come on" he sighed and shook his head. "Wait! She looked at the figure and it lost from her sight. < Never mind > she walked back home. She opened the door and sat properly. "Where's papa?" She asked. "Uncle Alex said that he must attend the meeting early as usual because There's some other document to work on." Jimmy started the engine. She sighed. "Alright..." As the future CEO of the Stc. Company a.k.a the princess of the Wilson, she must learn how to handle the company and gain trust among the client and that is why she must attend it too.

In their way to the hotel, she saw many black figures staring at her from the outside and one of it is the thing that she saw before going to the meeting. < what was that... > she said quietly.

"Alright we were here" he helps her to open the door. "Thank you" he led her until the meeting room at the 6th floor. "I will pick you up at 5. If this meeting ended up early, just call me cause usually, he will attend the grand dinner after meeting..." he whispered.

The client and other of Alexander's business partners gathered in the meeting room. Angeline sat beside the father.

"What a beautiful night, everyone... today I wanted to introduce you to my princess." She stands up and bends down her body at 90°. "Hello everyone" she smiled. "She will be replacing me after I retire. Looks like this old man needs a rest, don't you think" he bends backwards to crack his backbone. They heard his backbones crack and they laughed. "Ouch..." he said as he touches his back. Alexander is a sporting guy, who can make anyone laugh with his joke. He cleared his throat. "Natalie... let's begin our meeting" he passed the speech to his PA. Natalie nodded and walked to the slide. Alexander switch off the light and the meeting started
