"Did you get the location of her or any news about her?
The man was sitting across his huge mahogany office table going through the papers and busy with preparing the documents for the proposal they made when he heard the clicking sound of door, arriving in was his assistant with a folder in his hand, he gasped in surprise noticing the snowfall; the first snow of the winter.
The room was dimly lit but it did not cover the exquisite beauty radiating through it; everything in the room was modern, elegant and graceful making one feel slouchy and contented in the warmth of burning fireplace like cherry on the cake, Wang Shi was enjoying the feeling when he heard his voice.
Hearing his stern and cold voice devoid of any emotion or color was making him tremulous in his perusal vision like an eagle waiting for its prey to make one mistake and the game was over.
"Oh shit! What will happen when I will deliver the news....?!
He gains the remaining courage and said professionally, "Not exactly Sir it seems like she is been more careful not to disclose herself even a slightest bit.
"It's like starting from scratch again every time we tried to dug like an invincible firewall stopping us from reaching there."
Every time the results turn out into the same disappointment therefore he was rather restless to report the same thing. He was ashamed of himself and being incompetent to his Master. After reporting, suddenly he felt like being drowned in the frozen river as if the room temperature had been dropped by a several numbers bristling up his hair on the body.
"Here it comes the day of his Destruction!!
He peek to the left and then right to check if the heater was working and turn right saw the logs were also burning for additional warmth then why I'm suddenly feeling so cold it cannot be from the backside the door was close then..... He slowly peeks in his direction not believing his eyes.
He couldn't saw his face clearly in dim lights but he could feel that aura specifically telling him- "to run the hell away from him" type but he believes in him but this was not it he could also feel the control in his action, it was an expression of anger with remorse. He remembers his Father aka Mentor's teaching, "A Good boss may forgive you for a mistake but A Great Assistant will never failed in his work in the first place".
Seeing his dejected face he too was feeling guilt tripped after all he failed his master and at last his father too.
After Hearing the same answer for nth time he couldn't control himself, his hold around the pen tighten as if making it a lethal weapon, he was feeling livid upon himself to letting her go from his grasp 12 years ago.
Suddenly his mind reminded him of past, the time when he was 12 years old, reminiscing the old memories spend with her though little, were enough for calming and soothing his nerves and making him relax.
The Assistant was standing in dilemma because the man in front of him was the same calm and serene but he could feel the baleful and murderous aura radiated from him, his eyes were fierce and dark like a never ending abyss.
He had never seen his master like that before for a girl according to his perspective, Kim Lachlan was compassionate, decisive, courageous and serene. He had a lovable persona which is respected and looks forward to by people. These attributes made him differ from others like a true leader and not the typical one.
"Or maybe it's time to get accustomed to because a coin has a two sides and being 'The Ultimate One' is necessary, 'he thought when he heard his usual calm voice.
"You can go now."
"Master, Grandfather Kim called saying that it's emergency and contact him as soon as possible, with that he leave the room in guilt.
...
Kim Lachlan sighs deeply because he knew why Grandfather was calling, It was time to accept this was his last chance to find her and now it's gone. He knew that it was wrong to love another person when his status is not single anymore from last one and half month but still he took the last chance and that too turnout unfruitful.
