The perfect gift

The rest of the meeting proceeded  calmly. When it was over, Shera headed to the parking lot with Purple trailing after her. She was just about to rush foward and open the car for Shera when the latter stopped her. 

"I'm going to SMF Co.." Shera said calmly. SMF Co. was the company she had acquired a few months ago, when it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Although she had only done so to force Leo into a collaboration with her, she took care of it. Since she had brought it back on track, she was thinking of making it part of CT Corporation. 

At the moment, she was only going to meet the employees. She didn't need Purple to follow her around for that. Instead, 

"Your future 'boyfriend' is going to Rome for a vacation. As a good girlfriend, shouldn't you send him off at the airport?" 

Purple had almost forgotten that she should meet Cedric today. Something about how Shera had said it made her blush a little. "I understand, master. I will give him a proper send-off 'surprise'." She responded in a determined tone. 

"You know what to do, don't you? Are you prepared?" Shera questioned to confirm whether Purple understood what she should do today. 

"Yes master."

"Good girl."

An hour later. 

Imperium City Airport. 

Cedric Qin's life was more or less back to normal. He was back to being the despicable jerk that usually was. 

Those who didn't know thought he was simply going on a vacation to take his mind off everything that was happening. However, only he knew his real reason; he was going because the Rome Fashion Week was drawing near. 

He had his eyes on a certain Italian model - a beautiful woman with seductive eyes and the most perfect pair of legs he had ever seen a woman possess. She was definitely going to be present in the fashion week and he would give anything to watch her grace those gorgeous legs down the runway. 

So what if his family was experiencing a crisis? That was none of his business. 

In a merry mood, he was heading to the waiting lounge when someone bumped their head into his chest. 

"Sorry! I'm so sorry." She apologized before he could hurl out an insult. 

When he took a good look at who she was, his lungs almost exploded from fury. "You?!" 

Why did it have to be that little 'holy Mary'? He turned to glare at the bodyguard behind him. How could he let random people bump into him?

"I'm sorry. I really didn't do it on purpose." Purple looked on the verge of tears. 

"Scram!" Cedric barked. 

"Y-yes. Thank you!" She scurried away in trepidation. 

Cedric proceeded to the waiting lounge and took a seat. Involuntarily, that timid little bunny from just now clouded his thoughts. 

It was not that he cared about her, but how dare she reject him?! His pride was still wounded for that. With a sneer, he swore to make her pay. 

He was going to prove to her that he, Cedric Qin, was the one who rejected women. Not the other way round. 

With a  resolve, he summoned his bodyguard and gave an order. "Did you see that girl who just bumped into me? Before I board the plane, I want to know where she lives, her mobile phone number and every freaking other thing about her." 

The bodyguard instantly understood his boss's request. He had probably taken interest in that girl. 

"Boss, should I also find out whether she has a boyfriend or is married?" 

Cedric glowered at him. "What for? If she has a boyfriend, I will kick him away. If she is married, I will pay the man to divorce her. He has probably not ever come into contact with the price I'll offer." He scoffed in all arrogance. 

.

It was quite easy to find Purple. She was after all a unique character with clothes that made her look like she had just transmigrated from one of those 18th Century movies. He only ask a little to get a huge lead.

He was back after a few minutes.

"Boss, I have found her details. The girl is Elena Garcia, 21. Her weight is 107Pounds..."

Cedric frowned. 

"Height 5.6, Bloodgroup…" 

"Get the to the point!" 

'But you said to find out everything'. The bodyguard coughed and told the important details. "However, boss. That girl seems to have ties to La Rose Noire." 

"What did you say?!"
