Kyle's Study
"Young Master, this is her information"
In the room, a classy mahogany office table can be seen, coupled with a black steelcase leap chair. On the table, a half-filled wine bottle can be seen. A five compartment shelf could be seen at the back of the chair, a high-end desktop occupied the middle compartment. Books, antiques and different awards could be seen occupying the other parts of the shelf.
Kyle sat on the chair holding a wine cup in his hands, with Martins infront of him. He picked up the file and said, "Is it done?"
"Yes, Young master." Martin said as Kyle smirked and said,
"Since she likes running so much, it would be impolite not to give her a boost" Kyle said as he took a zip out of his wine.
'Bang' The sound of the door opening startled Martins but Kyle didn't have any reactions as he was already used to it.
"When are you going to learn how to knock on the door before entering?" Kyle said without even looking at the source.
"Why do I need to?" A proud feminine voice replied. She was Kyle's older sister, Kris Robert. Although she was just older by two minutes, she took pride in this and doesn't lose any chance to show this off to Kyle.
Kyle signed, "What do you want?"
"What are you doing now? Planning someone's demise?" Kris said as Martins eye twitched, she just made a guess but she'll never know that her little guess is true.
"What do you want?" Kyle asked again.
"Gramps asked me to tell you that you should see him" Kris said as she played with a rubik cube on his table.
"Anything else?" Kyle said as he collected the cube from her using an handkerchief. He has a bit of OCD.
Kris watched as he threw the handkerchief into the waste bin by his side, countless handkerchief could be seen in the bin, indicating that this isn't the first time that this is happening.
Kris' eyes twitched as she said, "That's no way to talk to your elder sister" Kris said as she started walking towards the towards the door, before the big block of ice annoys her to death.
"Well, maybe if you start behaving like one, I might just changed the way I talk to you" Kyle said with a straight face.
"Are you for real?" Kris said as she turned back to look at him.
"No, that was a joke" Kyle said with the same straight face as he took another zip of wine.
Kris humphed as she walked out.
"How's the investigation coming up?"
"Not so good, Young master"
Kyle signed as he rubbed his temples, "How the h*ll does he expected me to find some girl with a cat!" He said as he threw the glass cup in his hands away.
Kyle stood up as he walked towards the door, "Continue to investigate it and get someone to clean that up" He said looking at the shattered glass on the floor before walking out.
On the other side of the world...
A young lady could be seen coming out of the plane with a luggage in her hands. Taking a closer look, she seems to be the lady who bumped into Grandpa Chris the other time.
"I've to hurry up and get home"
"Grin grin grin" A ringtone is heard coming from her pocket as it vibrated against her skin. She bought out her phone and look at the screen.
"It's this woman again, why is she calling me after I told dad that I was already on my way" She said as she picked up the call.
"You Alice b*tch, who did you offend?" Her stepmother shrill voice sounded. Alice cringed as she held the phone away from her ear before placing it back.
"What do you mean?"
"It's all your fault! Our company just declared bankruptcy. All our shares are been sold online now at a very cheap price." Her stepmother said.
"Wait! Where's dad?"
"As soon as your father heard the news he fainted and was taken to the hospital" Her stepmother said as she started to cry. Alice was 100% sure that she wasn't crying because her father was admitted into the hospital but probably because of all the jewelries she'll have to pawned off.
"What?! Which hospital? Are you with him now?" Alice shrieked as a frown started to form on her face.
"Imperial Hospital...Wait, you b*tch, why should I go with him? When the bank officials are outside and they want to confiscate the house. I'm not leaving this house until they leave this plac... Hello hello"
"I can't believe that this b*tch hung up on me"
"Mrs. O'Connor, open this door" Some men in black stood in front of the door banging it.
"Never!"
Alice cut the call as she took to her heels.
"I've to get there quickly" Alice said as she hijacked a cab from an old woman.
"Take me to Imperial hospital" Alice said as closed the cab door.
"Hey! I hailed that cab" The old woman shouted at the moving cab.
Imperial Hospital
At the VIP Section
A middle aged man is seen on the bed with a health assistant and his assistant, Melissa by his side, changing the drip.
"Father" Alice called out, her eyes reddening as she saw her father's state. It's seems as if the man had aged overnight, white hairs could be peeking out of the black.
"Alice, you are here"
"Yes, Father. What's going on?"
"Mel" Mr. O'Connor called as his assistant gave Alice a tablet. On the tablet some words could be seen...
'I'll give your daughter a boost'
"What's this?" Alice asked confused.
"This was what I received before our sales started dropping" Her father said as he waved his hand to the nurse to leave.
"Can you remember if you've offended anyone before in America?"
"No dad. I can't recall offending anyone"
Mr. O'Connor signed before saying, " Luckily, whoever it was left us with a way out, if we could just get $50,000 we could scale through this" Her Father signed again before continuing, "But were are we going to see that huge amount of money? All our asset are just $10,000"
"Don't worry, Father. I'll think of something" Alice said looking up at her father. Taking a closer look, she observed that his face looks pale.
"Father, are you alright? Why do you look so pale?"
"My daughter, Father has wronged you"
When Mr. O'Connor thought of how supporting his daughter has been, he began to regret even accepting it.
"Dad, what do you mean?"
"Do you remember that dad called you home for a reason before all this happened?"
"Yes, dad. You told me that it was urgent."
"It's like this, the Maxwell's brought a marriage proposal for you and I agreed"
"What?!" Alice said as she stood up abruptly.
"Miss Alice, it would be best you keep your voice down"
"Dad, how could you do this to me?" Alice said as she remembered the son of the Maxwell's who was in her class, her Ex. Although, he was handsome but what he did to her was unforgivable.
