" How is the business plan I asked you to draft coming along " Mr. Sylvester asked his personal assistant over the phone.
" I arranged for a special team of our best staff to be formed in respect to the proposal. We should be expecting a draft by week end. " The assistant replied
" We do not have time to waste. The deadline will soon be over and I'm sure our competitors are on their toes as well. They'll do everything to come up with the best proposal. How are the spies we have placed in the opposition companies "
" All the companies are having a hard time coming up with a proposal that will please Mr Fisher except the Q and C group of companies. According to the spy I placed there, they are ready and they've perfected their proposal, and it seems that the business proposal is high profile as only four people from the company knows it's content " the assistant fed him the information his spies told him.
" We will have to pay a visit to Mr Sebastian. Ready our men, we will find out what the proposal is about. Prepare the warehouse as well. I want everything to be done smoothly without a trace, am I understood?"
" Yes sir. Everything will be done as you said " The assistant replied hurriedly. It seems another person will be added to Mr Sylvester book of murdered person's. This was not the first time so the assistant got on it quite quickly, calling everyone that needs to be called to make the operation smooth.

Diana was sitting with her parents at the dining table. They were eating dinner.
" I haven't gotten a chance to talk to you about the party " Mr Sylvester looked at Diana as he continued, " who was the catch? " He asked. Diana knew he was asking if she got close to some guys at the party.
" I met some guys and we exchanged contact, I'm meant to meet with one of them this Saturday " Diana said in a robotic manner. No feelings, no emotions. Just like she was giving a report to her lecturer that she hated back in school, Mr Klaus. She would never forget how he would always pick on her all because she refused to have sex with him. He gave her one of the most humiliating memories she had in Germany.
" You said you had something to tell your dad and I " Kate said while trying to ease the tension.
" Yes mum, I have something to say " Diana said and she turned to her dad,
" I'm going to be working in Fisher's corp as the secretary of Mr Clark, I'm sure you know him dad "
Mr Sylvester was elated by this news. If Diana gets into the Fisher Corp there is a way that he could use her in getting the proposal he wants. This was just the news he needed.
" How did you do it " Mr Sylvester said all smiles. " I mean how did you get a job in the Fisher's corp talk less of an assistant of Mr Clark. " Mr Sylvester corrected him self on seeing the look of confusion on her face.
" Well it just so happens I became acquainted with Mr Clark on the day of the party and I offered to be his secretary since he was looking for one " " let me also add that I did not sleep with him to gain the job " Diana said on seeing the sly look Mr Sylvester's face. It seems the old man is cooking up something in his head again. Something that was not good, Diana concluded.
Mr Sylvester was indeed thinking of something very cunning. He saw this as an opportunity to get Diana married to Clark. He had the plan already set up in his dirty mind, only if Diana was willing to cooperate. He will get close to Clark through Diana and put ideas of taking over the Fisher Corp in Clark's head and then he'll be the father in-law of the owner of the largest company in LA. If possible he'll take over from Clark and be the owner him self. The thought of it was making him drool more than the food in front of him. Speaking of food, Mr Sylvester placed more food on Diana's plate. If he wanted his plan to work he need to earn Diana's favour. There is only an extent to which he can control her and Diana as he knew very well was very stubborn.
Mr Sylvester's action of placing food in her plate confirmed what she was thinking, that old geezer is really up to no good.
" We have a lot to discuss about your position in the Fisher Corp and how you can help your father improve his business connections my dear daughter " Mr Sylvester spoke in a very unusual soft tone unlike his usual stern and commanding tone which made Kate raise her eyebrow. No matter how nice he tries to act even a baby would know that nothing good can come out of trusting this man.
Diana choked at the sound of my dear daughter coming from Mr Sylvester. If it was young her, she'll be jumping for joy but right now she hoped for nothing anymore.
" Ewww Dad " Diana said as she faced her dad, " if it was another person that said dear daughter to me I'll be overjoyed but coming from you it's scary so can you please just drop the act, it honestly doesn't suit you " Diana said as she rolled her eyes.
" Ahem " Mr Sylvester cleared his throat. He wasn't expecting that.
" Think what ever you want, all I know is you must help your father now that you have an opportunity to do so " Mr Sylvester said and walked out of the dining room.
" It's not like I owe you anything " Diana murmured.
" What do you think he'll ask of me this time mum " Diana asked her mum.
Kate did not really know about the happenings in the business world but she can read Sylvester like a book, after all he is her husband whom she knew since their teenage days. " He'll probably ask you to seduce Mr Clark " Kate replied causing Diana to sigh.
" I should have expected it." Diana said as she dropped her cutleries. Not that she was expecting it to be something good.
" I'm done mum. I'll be heading to the study to see what dad has to say."
