A black jaguar parked in front of a house at the outskirts of town.Many cops were moving in and out of the house.Manroe walked into the house that had certain places marked since an investigation was going on.A beautiful lady with long black curly hair walked towards him with a smile on her face."Sir, you're here."She said in a pleasant voice."Mm,what have you found?"Manroe asked coldly.There was no sign of the warmth he showed to Kelly when he was with her."Follow me.By the way,how was your meeting with the client.Hope everything went on well."She inquired from him what had happened today at his side.He didn't respond so she tried to put her arms around his neck to draw his attention but he moved away and looked at her.His eyes were cold as he watched her angrily."Xaviera Dion, you're working so be mindful of your actions.Lead the way."He said coldly to her.
She shut up and walked quickly to a room in the house."In here we found many things we suspect may lead to the truth of the murder."She said formally."Hm,leave me to do some investigations here.Maybe I'll find something you couldn't."He said trying to get rid of her."Ah!I didn't tell you what we found.A gun,two black gloves and an envelope with a paper that has two words on it,'serial killer'."Xaviera told him what she thought was important.He nodded and said, "after I'm done here,I want to see that paper."Xaviera nodded and she left immediately after.He placed his hands in gloves as his eyes searched every nook and cranny of the room.After some minutes,he found nothing and decided to leave.He walked forward three steps,then turned back and moved slowly to a small book on the only table before in the room.He opened it and took a small piece of paper which seemed to have something written clumsily on it.There were only four numbers'1113'.He wore a look of shock as he quickly pulled an object from his pocket.It was a small case and he opened it.There was a golden cufflink in it.His eyes focused on a certain part of it to see what was inscribed on it.The inscription was very small and if one did not pay attention,one would not realize it.It was an inscription of four numbers,the same as the one written on the paper,'1113'.
Kelly's words in the restaurant sounded in his ears,"take it.It might be of help.""Does she know something she isn't saying?"He asked himself.He his the paper and placed the cufflink back into it's case.He left the crime scene without saying a word to anyone,even his personal assistant, Xaviera Dion.

Kelly returned to her office to try and make some new designs but as soon as she finished her first design,she heard a knock on her door."Come in"she said as a response to the knock.Her assistant entered in a hurry as if someone or something was after her."Hey Rachel, what's the matter?"Kelly asked worriedly. "Ms.Burkhart,there will be a meeting in the next five minutes."Rachel said in between her pants."Wait,what?I was told there would be a meeting after the fashion show and the show has not even started yet."Kelly said with a look of disbelief."Yes,but some changes have been made.The company's directors have all arrived and they have called for one.""Alright."Kelly walked out of her office to the meeting hall with Rachel.
The place was grand with chairs for workers and at the topmost part,there were three seats standing tall and grand like the people they were prepared for.She saw Mr.Bates smile at her after entering the hall.Kelly walked towards him with a smile plastered on her face."Mr.Bates,you might know the reason why this abrupt meeting has been called right?"She tried inquiring from the old man but his lips were tightly sealed on the issue."Ms.Burkhart,just wait.My old bones must get some rest too."
The aged man said as he slowly relaxed in his seat.Due to his words,she looked at the place where his badge usually was only to find nothing there."He didn't mean..."Her thoughts were interrupted by series of exclamations from the workers as the directors followed by Samantha entered the hall.
Among the directors,she recognized one;the CEO,felt she had met one and did not know the last one.Samantha nodded at her and smiled.Tristan sat in the middle as the man with long dark brown hair who she later found out was Yong Mi sat at his right.The other man had a light smile on his handsome face.He was somewhat different from Tristan and Yong Mi because,though a man,he was beautiful like a lady.His emerald green eyes looked at Kelly and he nodded slightly.He also took his seat at Tristan's left.Samantha moved forward to speak."Today's meeting has a very simple reason."She began after some pleasantries."The company's head designer,Mr.Bates has worked hard for the company for many years.He is now old and wishes to leave his position but as the head of the designing team which is a great and indispensable group of T&M's,he can't leave the position vacant."She continued her voice loud and clear with a clear sign of authority in it."There should be a new head designer once he resigns from his position so let's applaud Kelly Burkhart as she takes over as the new head designer of T&M's designing team"Rounds of applaud sounded as the title of head designer was conferred to Kelly.No one seemed displeased."Congrats Kelly.""Thanks"Being her best friend, Samantha congratulated her first.The meeting ended after certain issues were discussed and everything was solved.
