'Grandiose Group bankruptcy : The latest scandal of the century'
Mira read the headline and then proceeded to scroll further down. There was no such article in the morning. But now she was seeing it right under the headline.
Mira hand tightly clenched her phone. She had the urge to smash that stupid tabloid into pieces. She took a deep breath to compose herself as she put her phone back into her blazer pocket.
Ding!
The elevator arrived at level 3 where the office of President Lewis Lies.
Mira stepped out of the elevator and headed towards his office. She entered the hallway and headed towards his office. Her hand on the handle of the glass door. Without knocking or taking permission to enter the office. She pushed open the door and entered without waiting for an invitation.
"Zion!" Mira's angry shout resonated throughout the entire office area.
"Mira!" Zion answered calmly yet sternly as he stopped his finger from typing. Moving his head to face Mira
"You are shameless," Mira told him with disgust.
"If you still go on with this behavior of yours then I might have to call your grandma," Zion replied coolly as he returned his attention towards his laptop screen.
BlueSky was a partnership of Marston and Reid Groups. They have been family friends for 40 years. MarstonGroups are the biggest shareholder of BlueSky whereas Harris Groups are second largest. The president position is held by Zion Marston. For vice president, Reid family heirs have to go through a long process of getting approval from the board before they become eligible to take over the position.
"I know why you are doing this. You hate me, that's why you are taking kieran's side. But let me tell you, this is not going to work." Mira pointed a finger in his direction.
"I never mix my professional life with personal life," Zion said as his finger left the keypad. He closed his laptop.
"Do you think I will believe that?" Mira asked sarcastically.
"It's none of my business," Zion stated plainly.
"Just wait for 2 months, when I will finally get the vice president position. Then I'll show you what I can do," Mira threatened as she narrowed her eyes threateningly at him.
"If you go on like this, I am afraid the board of directors will never choose you," Zion looked at Mira with a cold stare.
"We will see in the future," Mira snarled before she stormed out of Zion's office.
She was sure something was wrong.
How come the famous Grandiose Group whose hotels name was in the top 10 list bankrupted in one day?
Mira exited his office and headed towards the elevator. Once in the elevator she pressed the button for the floor where she works.
The elevator opened up in front of her and she exited which led to the area where her office was. As soon as she entered she was greeted by other employees. Some of them nodded at her while some greeted her warmly.
Mira quickly made her way to her desk and sat down. She placed her purse on her table and removed her coat. And slumped her head on her arms on her table and sighed deeply.
"Ahhhhhh!" Mira exclaimed frustratedly as she shook her head and stomped her feets on the floor. The image of Kieran staring at her with arrogance filled her mind.
Everyone in the office looked at her in worry since her voice echoed throughout the entire room.
"This will not do. I need to find out what happened to Grandiose Group in just one night," she murmured to herself.
She needed answers. Her answers could only be found in the Grandiose Group. For this purpose she got up from her seat
For this purpose she got up from her seat and made her way downstairs to the company carpark.
As the elevator arrived at the ground level. She proceeded towards the area where she parked her car. Arriving at the place where she parked, she noticed that a devil car was also parked there.
Seeing his car parked there she moved her gaze to her left and right to see if anyone else was there. When she didn't see any other person she approached Zion's car. Pulling her lipstick from her purse she wrote 'Go To Hell Devil' on his car window.
After writing the message on the window she screeched his car's bonnet with her keys and ruined his car.
"This is the revenge for insulting me," she mumbled, feeling satisfied by her action. She turned around and ambled into her car. She started it, turned the ignition and revved the engine once. She drove away from the parking lot.
Not too long after, she reached the entrance of a building. She stopped her car near the entrance of the building. She bypassed the revolving doors to walk inside and proceed up to the reception.
"Excuse me, I need to see Mr. Marlin ," Mira said to the receptionist who was busy typing on her computer and barely glanced up at her.
"Sorry, he doesn't want to meet anyone at this moment," The woman said while keeping her eyes fixed on her computer screen.
"It's an emergency I need to see him," Mira insisted with an edge in her tone.
"Are you going back or should I call the guards," the woman asked with sarcasm laced in her words.
"What?" Mira exclaimed, taken aback by her response.
"Didn't you hear me? He does not want to see people at the moment," The woman said, emphasizing as she picked up the receiver of the telephone.
"Fine, I am leaving," Mira growled as she turned around to walk. The clinking sound of her heels against the marble floors echoed within the lobby. As she angrily bypassed the revolving door.
She entered inside her. Slamming her hand against the steering wheel, as helplessness washed over her.
It was because it was a dead end.
