Remember Something

After finishing his coffee, Aaric returned to the mansion and asked one of the maids to bring two glasses of warm milk to the study room after half an hour. He went upstairs to freshen up but as Sasha was still not finished bathing, he grabbed his clothes from the wardrobe and strode towards the study room.

Half an hour later, in a blue t-shirt and white trousers, he came out of the bathroom and saw that Remo was already there with a grey folder in his hands. He walked towards the sofa and sat down before gesturing Remo to have a seat too.

Besides Remo there were few of his clan members holding different folders labelled with different names on the front of the folder.

As soon as Remo settled down, he handed Aaric the grey file and waited for him to finish looking through it.

While Aaric was busy reading the content inside the folder, the cold aura emitting from his body and presence made the temperature of the room drop. He closed the file before scribbling something on it and handed it back to Remo.

He looked at one of the members, and signalised him to report about the past and coming missions.

That man from the clan stepped forward, handed the file to Aaric and then started briefing him about the recent mission.

"Boss regarding plot second, we made sure that their company's south building project should be temporarily stopped and the news will broadcasted after this week, most probably on the coming Monday."

"Any news about that bastard?"

"Boss through our insiders we got the news today morning that Edward Jones indeed made a call to him but he refused to come back now."

"Good. Let them enjoy their time of downfall."

"Boss, what about the shared partition that we discussed last week?"

"Let's wait for a couple of days more before moving on with that plan. Let me watch a good show first." Aaric replied while grinning his teeths with a wicked smile plastered on his face.

Indeed he wanted to see a good show, he wanted to show them how ruthless he can be. He liked to enjoy seeing their enemies get crushed and crumbled down slowly with no chance of fighting back. He wanted to make sure they are properly destroyed and those people do set an example of his ruthlessness in front of others who wished to harm him or his close ones. He would never allow anyone to do that. And if anyone dares to do that they have to pay for it with a thousand fold back.

The man nodded his head and headed back to his mission before taking back the folder with him. The other members also left, only Remo was left behind. After talking about the crisis of Jones Enterprise, he handed Aaric a few of the important files.

"President Smith, these are few folders of our new projects which have been passed by the finance department. There were few corrections last time so this time it has been revised. "

Aaric gestured to him to place the file on the table while he took a pen from the holder and started reviewing the file.

After going through the file thoroughly, he signed those files and handed it back to Remo. He took the file from Aaric and stood up to leave but suddenly he called out his name to stop him. He turned back and said courteously.

"President. "

"Is there any news from Williamson Family's side? Any suspicious movements by them?"

"No sir. President also we have assigned some of our men to hold a track of the fourth young master of the Williamson family."

"Fourth young master.. is it Kelvin Williamson? I have heard about him a little bit. He is studying abroad since he had no interest in their family business. Isn't it?"

"Yes sir, also last night we discovered that the head of the Williamson family, Elder Williamson made a call to his fourth grandson."

"That's good. Keep an eye on each and every member of that family."

"Yes sir. Sir well..."

Remo was a bit hesitant to tell Aaric about a particular news, most probably a good news. Seeing his hesitation Aaric asked him in a stern voice.

"What is the matter?"

"Boss.. "

It had been quite a long time since he called him 'Boss' so Aaric frowned and lifted his head to look at him.

Remo collected his composure and lowered his head before speaking out in one go.

"Congratulations on Madam's recovery."

'It was just a simple sentence, why was I scared? No, no. Everybody is scared of our devil boss, there is nothing wrong if I am scared too.'

In the meantime there was a knock on the door. Remo came back from his reverie of thoughts and turned his head to look at the person who was about to come inside.

As the door opened, Sasha came inside with a tray in her hand and found another familiar face other than Aaric, sitting in the room. She kept on staring at Remo, making the latter get covered in sweat as he felt that someone was throwing daggers at him.

"I think I have seen you somewhere."

Just one sentence from Sasha was enough to make the other two men inside the room freeze. One was confused while Aaric suddenly felt shocked.

Remo was confused as he thought that madam forgot that he was Aaric's secretary. While Aaric just had one thing in his mind. 'Does she remember something?'
