With Dimension Corporation being the leading corporation that had many products and services that caters to the public especially when it comes to computer software, a variety of computer devices, and phones and tablets. It was surprising to see how this company finally focused more when it came to developing games.
What's more surprising was they introduced a new type of gaming that was far from the usual application. The introduction of Augmented Reality or AR surprised the public with its bold and unusual way of gaming experience, where players can fully experience playing a different types of games with their whole body using a set of body gear.
The company also introduced a new platform for online streaming and viewing that would pay creators more for their number of views, popularity, and ad revenue.
Dimension didn't stop there, they released a batch of gadgets from AI watches to AI game consoles and new AI series of phones and laptops that were available for purchase.
With these products and services being promoted almost everywhere, from celebrities' videos to commercials and internet advertisements, it wasn't a shock to see how the one after another, people started to grow curious. At first, an adequate number had been purchased from one device to another from their products, and then eventually a rise of numbers was reported to the company.
While the AI series was a huge success, their game also received plenty of positive responses from the game community and game development international organizations. The AR body gear became a hot item to purchase overseas and domestically.
The beta testing didn't encounter any problem when it was launched and has been a trending topic in the gaming community and when the game was released, the number of players tripled than of their beta testing stage.
The high demand for these products and services was shocking to the rest of the people working under Dimension, resulting in Dimension to be in a hectic state in all of its branches.
In the main branch, Eve was prepared for this reaction and didn't have any problem when supplying for the demand. It was also thanks to this large team working with her all over the world, that all branches of Dimension were able to keep up with the reaction.
" Jessie " Eve calls her secretary as they were both finishing their work.
Jessie was a beautiful hard working woman with tan-colored skin and brown hair, who was slightly shorter than Eve by a few inches. She respectfully looks at her boss when she hears her name being called.
" Tell HR department from all branches to hire new employees, especially trainees--- well, they'll probably know about our manpower right now is slightly lacking in some areas. Call the factories and check their status and let them report back to me of any problems or recommendations, the same with other departments. Also, contact the B Country branch and let them know I'll be visiting the new site. Hmmm, what else.."
Eve taps her chin lightly as thinks about other matters and continues.
" Find a time to discuss a date for a company party with HR since the release was a success. While you're at it, tell them to decide another date to celebrate the game launch next month, I can't meet with the directors of every department so just send them a mail about this party and search for a hotel suitable enough for these events. "
" Tell the other domestic and international branches that they can also throw a celebration but not on the same date, let the HR departments do the planning in that through email or the Group Chat. Ah, I just remembered, make a reminder for next month about a raise in wages, I will have that in next month's meeting with the finance department...."
Jessie managed to write that down with ease, she nods and looks at her boss.
" Noted Ma'am, do you also need me to book for tomorrow's party? I had my assistant find a suitable restaurant fit for such a private occasion. " Jessie taps her tablet, it was the latest AI model their company released and all of the employees had the privilege to own either one of the phone series or the tablet.
Eve was just arranging her workspace when she got confused by Jessie's words.
Tomorrow's party? Did she have any prior appointment scheduled for tomorrow?
"Do I have any outside meeting or party to attend tomorrow? how come this is the first time I've heard of it? " Eve was left puzzled and Jessie who looks at her boss wanted to laugh seeing her expression but since she was professional with her field, she shakes her head with a smile on her face.
" No Ma'am Sylvia, it's not a meeting. It's your birthday, I was wondering if you wanted to reserve something nice for dinner with Mr. Miller "
Jessie smiled as she picks up the papers on the retrieving rack that needed to be sent to the departments tomorrow, Eve was dumbfounded at the moment, her hands paused on what it was doing, she takes out her phone and checked the calendar app.
It was exactly as Jessie said, tomorrow was Molina's 28th birthday.
Unsurprisingly, Eve had forgotten again.
" Tomorrow ah I see, but I think I'll just skip on the private celebration. I need to leave for B Country. "
She sighs.
"Although I'm busy tomorrow, thanks for reminding me Jessie, I would have just let a day pass not remembering about it."
Eve had laughed lightly. Her secretary gave a smile of amusement at how forgetful her boss was when it comes to personal matters, but when it's about her work, she will remember every detail when it comes to her company.
After a few hours later, Eve and Jessie left the floor together, and her secretary head to the parking lot while she waited in the lobby.
She didn't wait for too long though, Alexander's black car arrived in front of their building and Eve leaves her workplace with him.
The night was cold and her thoughts go back to her conversation with Jessie.
Thinking about it, Eve rarely does remember birthdays and even her own, she only had a few friends and they were also hackers who lived secretly, never letting anyone see a glimpse of their personal information. Her acquaintances were a few one-night stands and strangers she meets on bars.
While thinking about relationships with people, Eve thought Molina was also the same. She doesn't have anyone to happily greet a new chapter of her life.
She doesn't celebrate birthdays as she doesn't understand the need to do so. During Molina's 26th birthday, she had been hiding from both Graham's and Miller's radar, resulting for her to forget about it.
On her 27th birthday, Alexander was the only one who remembers of such a life event but he was away that day, he sent her a gift while Molina holed herself in her bedroom to do some programming and designing.
Now this body was turning 28 and it also marks the world progression bar almost completing.
In Molina's life on her 28th birthday, it was also the time Diana announces her pregnancy to the people around the party.
And ever since she told the world she was pregnant, it was as if Diana was the most fragile and delicate being on the planet and other people's feelings doesn't matter.
Sure, Molina Sylvia was a prideful and aggressive woman but she would never hurt a pregnant woman, but even just a few remarks without much heat will make Diana burst into tears, and whenever things go wrong, Molina was the number one perpetrator in the male leads mind.
Molina knew about pregnancy hormones so she didn't want to bother Diana. She would try to distance herself even if she hated being the one to be considerate between the two, but it seems like fate always played a funny joke to her, she would always bump into Diana and thing's never go well when they're both in the same room.
Well that's all in the past now, Molina right now has accumulated wealth with just her own power and Alexander is still by my side.
Eve could feel Alexander stealing glances at her as he drives, she couldn't help but slightly smile.
Should I return to B Country for a longer time? The progress bar is close to completion now, only 13% left.
Molina was 34 years old when she dies in her tub by overdosing on medication, but now, it's different because I will never let that happen. Yet I can't be too confident, this is the first time the system has left me alone..
Behind the steering wheel, Alexander focuses his attention on the road but he would steal a glance at his lover every once in a while, she seems to be quietly observing the view outside the window but her silence means something else.
He knew something was up.
The music played on his car speaker accompany the silence between them, Alexander didn't want to interrupt her thoughts. He guessed it must be about Diana's pregnancy and she must have been bothered by the news.
She did give him a scare a few months ago when he returned from B Country.
"It's not about that " Eve's words caught his attention yet his eyes never leave the road, she must have caught him glancing in her direction.
"I'm just wondering if you want to go back to B Country with me? " at that moment, she turns her head and looks back at him with a confident smile on her face.
Alexander glances at her and returned his gaze to the highway, a smirk forming on his lips.
"You already know the answer" he was familiar with that look on her face.
Eve spoke again.
"It's time for payback."
In B Country, Diana was busy preparing and working as the newly appointed CEO of the Graham Company.
Even though she doesn't have experience in the management department, she had people who were there to help her.
Ethan who was always by her side, would answer her question, was mostly the one who would give solutions and receive the contents of the meetings from her.
Dave and Jonathan would visit from time to time and Diana welcomes them both in her office very enthusiastically.
At the moment she was just reading the documents sent out her desk when suddenly the door in her office opens and her mother showed up.
Blonde wavy hair that sways as she walks and crystal blue eyes, they both looked like yet one has a very naive and innocent appearance while the other had a gentle and mature face and body.
Nobody knew that both are neither naive, innocent nor gentle.
Demi Graham strutted inside the office as if it was her own with her head held high, she brushes her golden hair back, before she settles into the sofa just in front of Diana's desk.
On the desk which was her late husband's workspace, the memory of Hubert made her sad for a moment before her smile returns to her face, knowing it was all thanks to that pitiful dog that she got everything without a problem. Her smile didn't last long, as Demi sigh loudly as she remembers their current problem and this made Diana smiled sarcastically.
"Can you not come here every day? What would people think about their new CEO? They might think I'm busy chatting with you every time you come here "
She looks at the door, checking if it was closed properly before she pushed the documents back to the desk and she stands to walk towards the sofa.
Demi snorts while she rolls her eyes.
"Well, isn't that what you're practically doing dear?" Demi mockingly smiles, her red lips curved upward making Diana's eye twitch. Diana didn't want to hear the truth from her mother who does nothing but whine and whine these days.
"What did you come here for? Did you finally got a lead? " Diana crosses her arm on her chest and glared at her mother.
"Forget about leads, even a speck of information about her couldn't be searched around. " Demi leans back on the sofa, she looks around and found a mini-fridge, she then immediately stood up and stride towards the small fridge to get herself a drink.
Diana's smile falters seeing her mother shamelessly takes whatever she likes out of the mini-fridge before walking back to the sofa and place the items in the small furniture in front of them.
" Let's just do it, she's probably somewhere struggling to make a living as we speak. No one knows about it other than us both, Hubert's death caused so much of your public exposure, and if report about his death being a case of homicide, it will gain you more attention."
"His youngest daughter who stayed by his side till his dying moments became the next head while the ungrateful daughter left and didn't even visit his funeral. Your image had already been received positively by the public, imagine how much more of your reputation amongst the social circle will rise when our final plan is successful." Demi laughs as she says this.
Diana and Demi had long planned to pin the murderer to Molina's name.
They prepared a forensic test and the result was expected, slow poisoning which resulted in the collapse of the cardiovascular system. The media would have loved to read the scandal of Graham's family, especially If it involves a good person and a bad person.
Diana didn't mean to go this far but being anxious when the people's opinion might change once Molina decides to turn into a new leaf and return to take her place was slowly eating her up.
When Diana saw her sister three years ago at the party, Molina was unbothered by any comments and did not crave affection, it was all of the sudden as if she finally opened her eyes and became a different person overnight. Her bold statement and confidence in being away from Hubert made her even more confused.
Molina tried to win her father's affection all those years and never hidden her hatred of Diana. It was supposed to stay that way, if Molina stayed jealous and angry, if Molina didn't disappear from her sight and cut off her connection, this wouldn't happen, it wouldn't have resulted in Hubert's death.
Diana was supposed to prove to Hubert that she was the better daughter but he started to look for Molina quietly and sometimes wonder about her, Demi and Diana had to put him down before things go against their plan.
That's right, it's all Molina's fault, Diana thought.
Her mother had hired people to search Molina Sylvia's location but never found her, Molina left B Country but her traces immediately vanished the moment they found a lead. It was too suspicious and Diana shivered at the idea that someone was helping her sister.
The thought of someone helping her made her crazy, Diana didn't want to be the illegitimate child forever, she wanted power, she wanted the riches and the taste of luxury. She wanted to be the only Graham's heir.
"Let's just do it, she can't do anything about it. A criminal cannot become a normal citizen let alone a CEO " Demi snaps her off her thoughts.
"What if she's dead? " Diana says and the relaxed expression on her face disappeared and replaced with panic, Demi rolled her eyes hearing her daughter's words.
"You really don't think! This is why I still need to help you every time! " Demi opens a bottle of soft drink and smiles " make a story! Just pass it off as she regrets killing her own father and she decided to end her life, easy as that. You just need to pay someone and let them be a " WITNESS " of it happening. "
Demi looks at her daughter and she sees how she was slightly undeciding whether she needs to proceed with their plan or stop, the older blonde sees how fear started to creep on her daughter's expression and slam her own hand on the table.
Startling Diana from her dazed state.
" You need to grow a spine my dear daughter, the world is unfair to the poor and bias to the privileged. If you wait for a miracle to happen, then you'll die waiting for nothing! " she looks at her daughter in the eye and smiled wickedly.
