Surprised faces

They both look from the car window to see a large group of reporters in front of her company.

She knew someone spilled the news of her discharge and she had a vague idea of who that person was.

" do you want to make a detour or....?" Daniel asked Sera as he knew the feeling of having reporters awaiting him. He used to be a prodigy and when he announced his retirement the reporters were all over him. Some even resorted to extreme measures like going to his campus.

He was worried about Sera but he was also reminded that she was the best singer in his continent.

Sera gave Daniel a wry smile.

" ha, do you think I didn't come prepared? I knew for a fact that this would happen but I thought that I would drive myself. What I am afraid of is people finding out about you especially about your history. "

She awaited Daniel's reaction and reply to her statement.

" well, good thing I brought my cap and mask"

Daniel smiled as he was reassured by Sera's response. He took the car to the front of the company and Sera made her gorgeous exit from the car.

Her heels made a charming sound and her sunglasses gave her the perfect aura for dominance.

She started heading towards the reporters as they stormed her with questions.

"Are the rumors true??"

"What do you say about your family's disown?"

"How do you feel about your ex sister's debut?"

"Do you have anything to say to defend yourself?"

Sera looked at them and gave a sarcastic smile and removed her glasses.

"I am so glad that everyone is asking about my health and recovery. I thank each one of you for not thinking about asking me of the rumors and being true humans who thought of my health and recovery and yes I am as good as new thank you all for asking"

She glared at all of them but no one could utter a sound as they were a bit ashamed of what they did. Everyone came for the news but no one bothered to ask about her health. They were in a daze for a minute but when they came back from it Sera had already entered the company.

She went into the building and felt too happy. She gave the receptionists a wink and said out loud

" I am back "

She took the master card of the elevator and swiped it. This card was made especially for 10 people in this company and she had two of them.

She went into her office. She was the only singer who had an office as she was the only one who managed her albums and chose who to work with. She was also the representative of SHADOW. Lucy was more of a secretary than a manager but she had a vital role in hiding the real identity of Sera as Lucy was also the secretary of the CEO of SHADOW.

Sera went to her office and found it prepared. It was as if she left it. She knew it was Lucy's doing and she called for her to thank her and to start her day as today is the start of many changes.

Lucy came as fast as she could with teary eyes. It has been about nine months since she last saw her. She only heard her voice over the phone.

" Sera, you look gorgeous. God I missed you so much"

" well, I. Am someone to be missed. Anyway let's get down to business"

Lucy missed that statement. It has been a year since it was said. She felt excited at hearing it that she answered with enthusiasm

"Well, what do you want from me?"

" First I want you to send a message to Derek the famous director of our company telling him that I would like to collaborate with him in an album of seven songs that will get a grace award. Add that the album will have to end in two months and he is to choose a team of the best. Lastly tell him that the soundtracks, the lyrics, and the idea of the music videos are all ready."

" oh my God!!!!! Do you think he will agree to all of that?."

" if he is pressured by the CEO then yes," sera said with a sly and mischievous smile.

Lucy understood what Sera was planning. She knew from the beginning that even without her weird deadlines no one would have wanted to work with her because of the rumors and her sister's power but if she used her power as the CEO then no one would dare say no. It was the first time for Sera to use her power as the CEO to ease things for her in the other identity.

"You changed Sera. We would always try to persuade you to use your power as CEO but you never agreed so why now?"

"Cause life is too short and I need to do a lot of things so I can't waste my time on trivial problems anymore. It is time for me to truly shine."

" I prepared a meeting as you told me about yesterday. No one knows that you will appear but Alex told everyone that if they aren't present then they would be jobless." Lucy updated Sera about today's meeting.

" prepare my costume." Sera referred to the wig and the makeup kit as she changes her whole features to become the nameless CEO of shadow. Only a handful of people know who she really is.

" here it is " Lucy gave Sera everything and helped her get into character. After they finished everything, everyone had already gathered in the meeting room.

She gave a smile and said

"It is time to filter out the spies and spice things up a bit."

As she ended her statement she entered the meeting room and was met with surprised faces.
