A month later
Rebecca had officially taken over the company Xavier gave to her. She was doing good as she had succeded in employing deligent and zealous workers .
She had started her own fashion business and within a month , she was doing just fine as she got a shocking but over whelming back up from Vanessa who turned out to be the CEO AND OWNER of Elsa Dumoreés Fashion and Clothing Enterprise.
She still couldn't believe that her senior and most nicest person in her former place of work was actually the mysterious owner .
She heard later on that Vanessa did a very shocking screening and sacked so many traitors from her company.
" Ma-am , the new intakes would be interviewed shortly" Bennie , her secretary said from the intercom.
" Alright , let them in , in twos "
...........
" You brat!!! , in grate , you think you will get the backing of the Chen's by getting involved with their in-law?" Scorpion spat as he slapped Peni hard on her cheeks with both hands.
The young lady moaned and groaned in pain.
" I was doing the job you stupid old man, didn't you teach me to blend well?"Peni said trying to reduce the man's anger.
" What do mean?"
" I planted some bugs in the house during her birthday " Peni lied .
" You'd better have something interesting for me , else I make your life a living hell"Scorpion threatened.
" Release me first so that I can show you " Pending said and the man features for his men to release her.
Immediately she was released , Peni stagered towards her backbag , immediately she got hold of it , she used her eyes systematically to scan everyone and the next thing they new was that Peni had disappeared.
She ran out in a flash but the men chased her until they caught her.
.......NYU....
Azuka looked around for Peni but he couldn't find her .
He had secretly assigned one of his bodyguards assigned to him to watch Peni.
He brought out his phone and dialed her number again but it wasn't going through.
" What's was my last statement Mr Quin?"
Azuka looked around.
" History is life " His seat partner for today's class whispered.
" Um....you said , history is life "
" Hmmm , impressive but that doesn't mean your attention should be divided during class...what was your tests score young man ? "
" A 'C'"
" You're part of the lucky ones eh?....improve more boy"the professor said and then the siren was heard.
Azuka didn't have appetite for lunch break when his Peni was missing
" Sir... She's missing" The guard said through the earpiece and Azuka almost lost it.
Just like Xavier , he'd learnt how to act fast and be smart.
He noticed Peni's lost look , sometimes she was scared and looked around while walking as if someone was chasing her. He wasn't at ease so he asked Bruno to do a background check on her . Then he found out that she was like a puppet to Scorpion, at least that's the name he heard them call it.
Now that he'd gotten to know that Scorpion was related to the people involved in his sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law's scandal , he was sure that Peni might also be sent to use him which he was afraid of.
Now it was happening , Peni is missing , but he knows that his Peni's feelings for him are true.
' She's missing' Those words kept to gong in his mind until he decided to take a step.
