Chapter 3 - Ace of Cards: CHAPTER 3

In her room, Millena witnessed all that had happened in the media, scrolling through her cellphone she felt sad and at the same time happy by looking at the big picture. All these negative impacts have positivity at the end of the day.

She placed her phone at the side table and go to the bathroom to take a shower. She wore her white dress with diamonds on it which makes it look like it is originally a silver dress. The dress is backless but not too revealing when she wears it.

She look so elegant with the dress paired with her heels from Europe designed by a famous designer from his private collection. Number of people can only get touch with his designs, and only those influential people are given a chance. Mostly the royalties are the possible people who can buy such collection, the designs of this designer can't be compared with money. With Millena's power, she can get what she fancy with ease.

She got out the house and Lance is already waiting for her outside the car. They will be going to one of the biggest company in the Hollywood.

Racini Corporation and Stanley Corporation has a good relationship in terms of business, they are the two most grossing company throughout the city and have the most franchises around the world. They owned the business industry.

After a few minutes of their departure they arrived at the place facing them a big building.

"Mr. President, Ms. Stanley is here to see you." the assistant said, a tall man with his strong aura that can't be ignored standing, looking at the city from inside through his window face her.

"Let her in." his lips hooked a little and didn't even show a little bit of emotion across his face, his eyes are cold and dusky. His assistant then retreated and closed the door as she get out.

A presence of a warm and delicate lady enter the room surrounded the cold pressure of the room in less than a few seconds. "What brings you here?" a cold aura and an emotionless feature face the lady sitting on the couch in front of him.

"I think by now you know what's happening outside the city." She replied, giving him the same energy. The two looks so dangerous together, if someone ever accidentally see this scene they would retreat without a second thought not wanting to get involved with the two persona in front.

Their strong gaze seems to be fighting trying to figure who would diminish and remain stronger. But the two are unfazed showing they are capable and won't back down. After all, they own the industry.

The man raise his chin slightly, telling that he definitely know something about what's happening. "You seem to be serious and focusing about your business now, what's your reason." He asked coldly, they knew very well about what they are talking, except for it's not about business but it's all about Millena's personal life.

"None at all, just like what you said I am now focusing on my company, and regarding to that, I am here to deal with some business between our company's ongoing project." She replied, not telling him a bit about the real reason behind her death as an ordinary person in public. He just frown showing he's confuse about what this lady in front of him is talking about. He don't know the connection of her ordinary life's death to their company's project.

"As you know, my identity as an entrepreneur and a very influential teen has nothing to do with my ordinary life. My family know nothing about my life outside my hometown. Therefore, about the incoming press conference for this project, my assistant will be attending." She added in a serious and cold tone of her voice still wearing her poker face. His gaze became more serious and deep, his lips hooked a little and he squint his eyes slightly. His eyebrows raise a bit, showing he realize what Millena meant.

"I understand Ms. Stanley, you're really having a hard time managing your company are you? From your appearances to the public's eye in the name of your company is hard." His lips hook a little, smiling and took a seat. He then poured a glass of wine and drink. The aroma of the wine blended with the cold pressure inside the room, its aroma made the breeze inside seductive.

"Then I guess you'll have to make arrangements with D'Marks Corporation." he said in a low voice enough to make himself audible. Millena stood and fix her dress and posture, telling she is ready to leave in a second.

Seeing this, Stefano stand up aswell and fix his figure approaching Millena. She step backwards a bit to not be too close to each other, not looking awkward.

"You seem busy Mr. Racini, I can go by myself and make some changes for the upcoming conference party." she replied smiled a bit, not showing too much expression.

This is a three way project, consists of their company's — Stanley Corporation, Racini Corporation and D'Marks Corporation. Their project is about advancing more in the industry of technology. Millena grab this three way project even though she had some issues with Stefano Racini and his family, she thought if she keep on bringing up the past the organization and her company would lost a big deal.

She planned to use the after project for the benefits of the organization in order to have more power as enemies keep on numbering up and getting stronger. She excuse herself and left, she and Lance then go straight to D'Marks Corporation to tackle some changes about the upcoming party.

They let D'Marks Corporation know about her life outside the business industry in order to be part of the project. And aside from them and Stefano Racini no one knows anything about her as she is often seen in the public. No one knows the face behind Stanley Corporation, people even tried to dig information about who run this business but to no avail.

Entrepreneur's tried to buy her company in order to go to the top and yet again failed tk do so. People know basic information about the CEO of Stanley Corporation and those are; The name of the CEO is Millena Stanley a 19 year-old girl who made a big impact to the business industry a year ago.

Everyone despise this girl because they believe she stole the limelight of their business and prestige name since her debut in the business industry. They grew jealous because of her success so they tried to drag her down as they think she is too fragile and know nothing about business because of her age. They got curious of how did this girl made a big success without any backgrounds at all, while they got back-ups from their family business and friends and still did not have the limelight like Millena had.

Everyone is curious about this mysterious CEO, but can't get in touch with her as she concealed her identity.

Millena and her assistant arrived at D'Marks Corporation and met Jackson Bernoulli—the owner of D'Marks Corporation. They discussed everything that needs to be done, and the discussion go smoothly as he knew about Millena's other identity. He shared he was scared about Millena's appearance at the party after the incident. If her death did not happened they can just simply take down any news, and photos of her at the party just kike how they used to do. They decided to change the theme to a Masquerade ball.

After the discussion, Millena did not go to her house and ordered Lance to go directly to HQ. She is exhausted but decided to rest there, as they'll be having a training session in an hour.
