MEA CULPA DEVOID 20__©
AT THE TORPIN's residence, Jakob II the known cheiftain in the family was in rushed in his running field. The time of his watch is also alerting him what time he kept running. He looked at his watch and he saw how fast his beating due to his running, he paused for breathe.
After his system is calm, he went to his bench and picked his towel, then his secretary went to him and announced his report. " Timothy company was facing troubles in their dominion, sir, " He wiped his sweats in his face while nodding him.
" Keep me updating about them. I want to see how the Mrs. Carter can keep up to be our competitor"
" Copy sir. "
" So how's Ardiel in his school? , " Ardiel is Jay-Ar Torpin, his favorite niece. Since the family of Ardiel is dead , he adopted him and treat him as his niece. His own family were against if he treat Ardiel as his son, they don't want to accept him. So to kill the problem matters, he agreed to accept him as a blood-related niece to cover up the situation.
" He's doing better sir. "
" Good... Yet, but not good to the Timothy's heiress. Report this to him, he needs to excel more than here"
ILLEON'S POINT OF VIEW
I was IMMEDIATELY kicked out of my grandma's office yesterday. Yesterday, grandma had just seeing things beyond the naked eye of human. She was just shocked. The Supreme Officials were all worried for her. But as for two years that I had been with her, I'm immune with her dramas. I'm not stubborn, maybe they'll talk about something really important that they don't want me to involve.
And now I am in the house of Timothy Residence. The house of the person my soul resides in. Timothy Family had only one heiress, but the heiress years ago had suffered in an accident. It took her two months to wake up, but as what my presence here, she was ended up long ago, her soul were dissolve by my sudden appearance. I do really feel shame about it. Just because of me, she lost her body and her soul in this world.
"I? You want me to face them?, Did you really think it deeply?," I heard granma's loud voice on the floor of Mrs. Timothy and Mr. Ronald' study room. I stopped at the stairs because it was enough for me to hear them. And for sure, grandma will be more irritated if she gone to see me.
"Ma, they were talking about you during the meeting earlier, it all runs about your name. They wanted you there tomorrow," Mrs. Timothy calmly said but obviously troubled. Mrs. Timothy, the biological daughter of host's grams inherit her soft behavior from her late father. Mrs. Carter, which is my grams, were contracted by marriage with the Carter. I see everything, she never have affection with him, but I see she's honest with her feelings.
And for Mr. Timothy, Knowing the old man, it's hard to tolerate. He needs an accurate reason to do things. ' no wonder Dad never been on good terms with the other businessmen. They don't trust him.' And he still doesn't have the trust of his people.
"They are such useless. They are just investors for a low amount, then I will only waste my time with them, " I could sensed that the old man was annoyed by her words. Even though, he seems can't be trusted, he's still honest with his position. He respects everyone with equals.
'Lesson 6: learn to accept the righteous treatment'
Grandma has a hard heart. But even though those investors are small, they help in raising the company. So, grandma really needs to drink her medicine. A wake-up drug, so that she can at least see the importance of people.
I think they are talking about investors and tax collectors as well. I think, there is no problem, as far as I know their business is still on hand and high. It's still keeping up to reach the infinite. But no matter how much a business grows and lacks credibility, it's easy to lose everything. One of them is the outcasts in society. The scattered ones.
However, as my recent review toward the conditons of the company, they paid tax fully. There were no mistakes about it. So how can this be an issue?
"Even if they are underfunded, they are still influential, it may affect the company, " I stepped silently to view their situation. I stopped at the door, in a slight opened part of the two-way doors, I saw Mr. Timothy caught my eyes.
"NO. If they needed me then let them be out of our business, " I hid myself against the dark wall. Grandma is selfish, but as I was led to believe, grandma also has a reason. In her rotten attitude toward small things, she is unfair, yet, since we live in the same roof, I slowly seeing good things about her, especially how and why she treat people in discriminate way.
' lesson 7: learn to know the real reason.'
Grandma sent her outburst to the door that made me shocked, I was slightly nervous due to my carelessness, I thought she knew I was hiding and eavesdropping. I sighed in relief when I heard her foot steps went away.
I knocked once and Mrs. Timothy opened the door for me. " Ill, why aren't you asleep yet? It's late, " I didn't gave her a smile. But she smile at me as if nothing arguments had happened.
"May I come in?," Her smile widened and she opened the door. That smile, she really loves her flesh. But this body host, I feel she never have liked her mother's behavior. As I read her memories, she hates her.
"You didn't show up at the cafe, sweetie, "Mr. Ronald said along with his sad look.
"Apology for behaving like that. I ran into some errands suddenly and I forgot to post you about it." Meeting them was just an excuse, but I have plans to meet them since I was the one who dragged the issue, but then I forgot about it when something important came up to me.
"Now, I heard your reason, its a good thing nothing happened to you. Your dad was overdramatic a while ago, he almost called his friend police to search you," Mrs. Timothy said in her funny tone.
"Hon, I'm not overdramatic, I was worried," Mr. Ronald said defensively.
"Yeah, yeah you do," she surrendered.
"But may I stay here for a while to listen about the discussion of the taxes? Pretty sure, that's the real deal in this field, right?" Mr. Ronald quickly formed a wrinkle.
"Maybe you misunderstood what you heard earlier, Il—" I paused him.
"No, Grandma wouldn't be like that if it's not about that topic." I heard Mrs. Timothy heaved a sigh and went in front of me.
"Your daughter has the point, hon. She also needs to know, in fact she's smart." I don't appreciate her compliment. Well, if the real Illeon is on this body, she might be happy to hear this thing. 'I don't think I'll fit in that compliment, I'm tired of what I hear like that because it's just out of the ass. ' Compliments builded the old person, and up until now, compliments are the one that builded me and at the same time the one that ruined me.
"Beat me, I can do it if you let me"
Mr. timothy gave me a surrender look and put his eyes on his wife before letting me. 'it's just the speed'
