"If that's your opinion on the matter, then I will politely take my leave, since I had something I was doing before I came here. " leaving the room all to Vincent.
"Yes, go Mr. always busy," he taunted him.
"You know there is always a position for you in the company. Just say the word and a vacant post will be ready, "Rui said, as voice disappearing along with him.
"Nah, with my temper I might murder your employees," he yelled out for Rui to hear, he prefer to lazy around, than to sit all day, listening to boring matters. The only part he liked to take part in was to threaten people, preferably killing.

Two days later…
A distinct atmosphere could be found in the blue papers, where two people were engaged in an argument concerning a plate of dumplings.
"You've eaten too much Marin. Leave the rest for me." Arya said, stuffing her mouth with another dumpling, while using her other hand to prevent Marin from dipping her hand in the plate.
"Don't be too greedy, let me take the last one, I promise this is the very last." trying to pry her hand into the plate.
"No no, that's what you said the last four times and this the fifth, go make yours and stop try to oppress me. " dragging the plate to herself. This was why she does not give someone a taste test, because after that they will ask for more, leaving her on a half stomach.
"Mmm no let go," the dumpling spilling for her mouth, "Erin!! Help this not fair. "
Marin quickly covered her mouth, "Shhhss, don't scream, it's just some dumplings. No need to call her." The little gesture attached a few eyes, looking at both women fighting over a plate of food.
Erin came rushing to them, to stop the food fight, there was no peace when both of them were involved, she hit the back of Marin's head with the ladle, "You greedy cow, haven't you had your lunch, how many stomachs do you have, and you, " point at Arya "This your third plate and you are shouting,can't you spare some for her."
"You know I am always hungry, and this thief here,i have given her four, but she's still asking for more. " But that was part of the story, when in fact Marin had secretly collected more than the amount Arya was mentioning.
"What, you don't expect me to sit down and watch her eat the whole way without collecting a bit, am no saint." Marin said licking the little grease off her finger, "And also am not to be blamed, the dumplings are, they are so good. "
"Fine, why don't you both share the dumping and I promise to make mor-"
"Excuse me, I need more ketchup on my pancakes." A boy interrupted her.
"Ok," Erin replied, facing Marin," You heard him chop chop " telling her to bring the Ketchup .
"Oooo am on my lunch break. You go bring it." She grumbled, stomping her foot on the ground, before she got up.
"Yes, Marin got the ketchup," Arya doing the perfect imitation of Erin.
In a blink of an eye, Marin grabbed one dumpling, quickly putting it in her mouth. "Marin!" Arya yelled, "Did you see that Erin? Did you see how food violent she can be.. "
The entrance door opened as Mr. Caris enters, his whole face blamed with happiness, whistling a song. Reaching Arya and Erin, he did a three sixty spine.
"I have good news," he announced.
"I can tell with the whole spinning around. "Erin said.
"You are back early. Has the farmer's market closed?" Arya asked. He left for the market a while ago, and it was too early for him to come back.
"No, it's just that with the good news I received, I don't think I will be able to carry all the groceries back as we will be needing a lot more. "
"What? Do we have a catering event?" Marin asked this time who came back with a bottle of ketchup, walking past them to the boy.
"Better, my buddy Ken, you know the one I told you about who runs a big catering service, " he said to have the three girls nod their heads. "Well, he's short on staff and will be needing ours to feel in, as he's in charge of a big night gala."
"That's awesome news. " Marin said.
"I know right, they offered him a huge amount of money, which means that our share will be half of all our catering event throughout the year."
"Am so excited, I am happy for you guys. I have heard that night galas are full of extravagant and luxurious food offerings. " Aryar spoke out.
"Again with the food, Arya, you're such gluten, and you are coming with us, right, Mr. Caris? She's one of us," Erin said, her hand on her waist.
"Yah, why not? She's part of us, and we all are wearing matching t-shirts. Isn't it wonderful? And yes, let's all be in our best manner. Those higher class people can be very rude. "
"When it's the event?" Marin asked.
"somewhere in the middle of next week, so be prepared, as part of the goods news, I am giving you guys a big bonus, so buy whatever you may need. " He tried a spin one more time, but was unsuccessful, as he got a muscle cramp. "Ahh!" holding his hips.
"Careful Mr. Caris! " Both Erin and Marin said at the same time, helping him to take a sit.

Sitting in a conference room containing twelve seats in a roll, a bottle of canned water was placed in front, for the past hour, as no one dared to take a sip from. The temperature was hot; the directors were sweating from their eyebrows, with the air conditioner on.
Listen to the chief director, making his presentation speech. Rui lax on the chair, taping his long nails on the table. Each tap making people's heart rhythm disorganized.
"Mr. James, you have been saying the same thing over the past ten minutes. Care to elaborate why?" his voice bought a cold sweat on James' head.
"Mmm, I did not have time to prepare a decent speech. My team has not completed the research. The emergency meeting caught us unaware," he replied, patting his sweaty hands on his trousers.
"I did not know I was paying you to give me excuses, so what if I called for an emergency meeting? Like a smart and highly educated man, you should have come up with something instead of putting the blame on your team." Rui said, making eye contact with him.
"Am sorry, sir. " He apologized, bowing his head, showing the clean spot on his head that had no hair.
"Save it for someone that might find it useful, next." Calling on the next person for their presentation.
The next person got up, losing his tie a bit, going to the podium. James handed over the remote control to him, hurriedly taking his seat.
Clearing his throat, "Am for the factional taxation department, our team lead could not make it because of some on scene circumstance." Taking a peek at Rui, who remained unchanged. "The schedule of the casts."
"Hang on," Rui said, looking at his phone. His entire expression changed as he got up, making the rest of people hop on their feet. "Meeting dismissed, rescheduled for another day. " walking out of the room, followed by his two assistants.
"Call the media management for an urgent meeting, " he said as he picked up his pace.
"Already did sir. They are trying to take the news down. It won't be a problem. It was published by a small company. We are going to charge them for defamation of company rights," the male assistant reported.
"Good. Make sure you find who is responsible for the information immediately."
He picked up his phone to have Vincent on the other end. "Don't waste your man power, I know who did. I want a clean job."
