Company to unveil its mystery (2)

After a few minutes of contemplation and discussion , Rita went out of the study feeling her heart go light . She had a smile tugged at her lips .

She remembered the conversation that happened in the study just now .

"Alright Rita , you may do as you please . But remember that the company and its safety when it's exposed is all in your hands . This is not just a simple revelation that may happen . We hid our identities and worked as incognito because it was in the best interest for the protection of not just the company but also our own selves and the Mo family . But if you insist to go and have the mystery veil be lifted on , I won't stop you ."

"You can trust me on that matter , Grandpa ." Rita said with a determined look on her face .

"Also , I don't want you to go and unveil the mystery just like this soon . I want you to go and find the information about the other prominent companies of the cities – find the information about the Shens , Chens and the Sus . "

"Okay grandpa , but I am in doubt . Why do I need to find the information of these ?"

"U guess !!"

Rita pretended to think for a while but she already had her answer in her mind .

"For more power in unity .Do you want me to collaborate with one of them ??"

"Got there right ." Grandpa beamed .

"Rest is all in your hands , my daughter . Since you've become the rightful owner of the company , I want you to be aware of these companies too . You should know the basics though ,at first . All these prominent families came into picture after their own setup too . They too got into business at the time when your grandpa set up the company from scraps ." Her father said .

Grandpa continued ..

"I still remember . Those were very struggling times in the first few years , sometimes it just so happened that the company would almost be on the verge of failing but it somehow got stability and from that point on , it prospered more and more and gained people's trust with all their love and support too .

With the upcoming dangers from the other sides , it became important for me to be involved with the underworld .Although there were other options of getting into legal ways but it was still a risky one. And also ,being in the underworld gave me the ultimate control to run the company in a good way .

I hope I gave you as much knowledge that whatever underworld activities our organisation does there , is to stop the wrong from spreading and to keep the underworld in good hands with a good control ."

Rita nodded her head in approval .

"Dad , grandpa …I understand what you want to tell me and so I would wait for the best opportunity to get the company be exposed to the outer world in a positive light . I guess , I will get the opportunity of firstly collaborating with the prominent families of the city for support and thereafter we can get to unveil our mysterious background ." Rita beamed with determination and a new sort of fire in her eyes .

Thinking back to the conversation , Rita beamed again and got herself for bracing the future challenges . She would need to be strong enough to keep going .

She went back to her own room and freshened up in a good hot bath and soaked herself for a good while .

'It is still early at 10:30 pm , so I must be able to complete the task given to me for researching the backgrounds of these prominences by midnight or whatever .'

She called her assistant , Mr . Liam Sheng , who had served her father for a good 10 years or so and took the lead to help her with the company's responsibility and help her through her investigations and new projects and all ..after all , an elder is always better to discuss with before anything new as they have plenty of successful and failed experiences .

She hanged up the call after informing him to investigate the backgrounds and every nook and corner info about these prominent company CEOs .

She would then arrange them accordingly or decide on whom to collaborate with firstly .

AT 2:00 AM

Rita was speed typing away on her keyboard as she kept jotting down the notes from her search about the companies around her . From time to time , she'd call or get a call from her assistant about the new found info .

She would also get to call other people from underworld areas to collect information about the underworld activities of these families and their background check .

After having a rough idea of every family and the company activities and all , she set herself up for the present CEO and their activity /personality check .

From the information gathered by her so far , she found that the CEOs had not been involved in any kind of illegal activities as such and were as good as her own organisation .

As Rita felt the sleep kicking in her senses , she decided to have a cup of coffee for herself and keep working the night away .

____________________________________________

She went downstairs for making herself a good and strong cup of coffee but was yet again scared out of her senses by Noah as he stood there with a silly grin on his face . Rita thought that she saw a ghost in the kitchen , for a good few seconds .

Apparently , Noah was getting himself a glass of water but when he heard Rita coming downstairs , he decided to prank her again and so he made his hair bangs fall on his face to give him a hidden spooky look and kept a devil smirk face with him . As Rita came down and encountered the supposed – to- be ghost in front of her ,she almost tumbled down the way to kitchen .

"Noah , please don't scare me like that , I hate it all . It's very unnerving for me . Do you want to kill me or something through a heart attack ?"

"Ahh ..don't whine over it my dear scaredy cat . Only your hero has the right to scare you and none else . Well , what are you doing so late at this night ? Have you not been sleeping yet ?"

Noah asked in concern as he saw the dark bags under her eyes .

Rita just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as she made her way to the coffee making machine and set the timer for setup of her favourite strong coffee . She turned to face him and said , "Leave about me , tell me .. what have you been doing here ? What are you doing so late at night . Don't you have to sleep too ?"

Noah beamed with a happy grin ,yet again carved on his face , as he said ," Ahh … I'm so happy . My princess takes care of me so much and there's nothing much more fulfilling than this feeling . Ahh …my poor dear heart . Calm down your erratic beating ."

Rita could only roll her eyes at her friend's overreacting behaviour as she took off with her coffee back to her room , ignoring the babbling man behind her .
