.....Feilan's Villa...
Feilan gently stirred in her bed as her eyes peeked open but immediately closed shut when the blinding morning light entered them.
She slowly opened her eyes again and looked around at her empty room with groogy eyes. She slowly sat up and she gasped softly when a throbbing headache immediately hit her like a burglar at a street corner.
She massaged her temples 'Poland distilled vodka was a really bad idea'
Her stomach grumbled strongly all of a sudden 'And on an empty stomach to add on'
She sat there for a while her mind registering her current dilemma all over again. Feilan felt cornered 'What was she gonna do about those clothes....The company had made terrible losses and Feilan knew the people behind it all....number one.....Her wicked sister who must have leveraged on Suzen's power to mess everything up for her'
Feilan bit her lip as she thought of the only way out 'I have no one to depend on....I can't strain brother's relationship with the family...I have to solve this alone
'I have to ask Suzen to return those clothes back or atleast....he has to pay me back...'
Feilan sat gazing in worry. She had a feeling that Suzen wouldn't give a damn. The way he had gazed at her in his office the day before stung her heart like a bee.
'Why..' Feilan shook her head. That man was a scumbag and she needed to stop asking that why question to herself but she needed him to first return her products in one piece.
Feilan glanced at the digital clock at her bedside and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she saw the time.
.9:20 A.M.
Feilan hurriedly got out of bed like she had seen a ghost.'I'm late....I have a company meeting to discuss how we are going to deal with our problem...and am getting late....gawd..how did I sleep so long'
Feilan hurriedly dashed into the bathroom and took a quick shower. She came out, organised herself and threw on a white blazer dress that stopped above her knees and a pair of black open toe heels.
She picked up her files and left her room in a hurry.
"Good morning Young Miss...." Butler Zi said with a light bow when Feilan came downstairs.
"Good morning Uncle Zi" Feilan said in her rush.
"Breakfast is ready" Butler Zi added on.
"Sorry Uncle....in a rush....am late for an important meeting" Feilan said as she walked towards the villa garage.
"But Young miss.....work without breakfast isn't healthy....you may fall sick at this rate....you didn't even have anything to eat yesterday" Butler Zi said with worry.
Feilan smiled lightly "I'll buy something on the way....bye Uncle Zi"
Feilan said as she entered the navy blue Mercedes and soon she was off.
Butler Zi sighed with worry "Ohh...Young miss....please take care of yourself...if that loose man wasn't such a cheating scum....he would have been a great help to you...you'd finally be at rest in his arms....but no....the world is too unfair to you Young miss"
...Feilan Fashion Headquarters.....
At the main business center of Tokyo, that was Marunouchi, Feilan Fashion's Headquarters building stood with its own kind of majesty but something was seemingly going on here.
News reporters from different television stations had flooded the place but the fence and gates kept them out though they had surrounded the place.
When Feilan saw the news reporters blocking the main gates, she swiftly turned her car around and used the employee gates that directly led to the underground parking space.
Feilan got out of her car and hurriedly walked towards the ceo's elevator.
She punched in the floor number and she was immediately delivered to the twenty fourth floor of the building where she hurriedly walked towards the board room.
On her way, some employees greeted her but there those who gave her looks of mockery which lightly stunned her.
She gazed at them and it's as if today they no longer had to hide their true hostility towards her cause the looks they threw were those that said she had fallen.
Feilan silently noted their faces...If these people thought that she was done for and she couldn't save Feilan Fashion, then they were very wrong.
She was gonna get a way...and if she had to....She'd make her own.
Feilan sighed internally 'Even some of her employees were as corrupt and spiteful as her sister'
Feilan walked into the board meeting and found everyone impatiently sitted waiting for her...the CEO.
They gazed at her with looks that could kill. She was twenty five minutes late. It was 10:25 am and the meeting was supposed to start at exactly ten.
"Excuse me everyone for my late coming" Feilan patiently said as she took her seat at the end of the long board room table.
Suddenly one of the board members, a 50 year old man slammed his hand on the table furiously "Feilan Fashion is in deep trouble Miss Shao and you dare come late.....do you think we investors and board members have nothing better to do
"If you can't get a wrap around what is happening, am sure you know of the compensation you'll have to pay us seeing that what happened is in your field of control"
The rest of the board members nodded with serious and grave faces as they looked at Feilan.
Feilan did her best to remain calm despite the sudden and unnecessary lash out.
She calmly stood up and greeted everyone and moved on to say
"For those of you who weren't informed, yesterday—"
Out of the blue, a board member cut her short "Cut to the solution part Miss Shao, all of us already know what happened.....it's all over the news"
The rest nodded..not giving a damn about how they spoke to Feilan....not showing her an ounce of respect or honour as the CEO.
Feilan felt her blood boiling but she bit her bottom lip and endured. These board members were still the biggest investors in Feilan and if their shares in the company were combined, they would count for 45% of Feilan.
The remaining 55% was the one that belonged to her.
"Why don't you contact your fiancee Miss Shao.....Am sure Mr Shei can help you in this moment.....you are his fiancee after all"
"Yes...Miss Shao....contact Mr Shei..he can handle this in a jiffy"
"Yes"
"Yes"
"Yes"
