(Chapter 52) Settling Her
Astrid had killed another target, this time a shareholder in a business that was the perfect target to absorb into Auxill. No one would know, that this shareholder had never sold his shares to anyone. And that he was killed for them...
Winoa watched the dripping blood and felt pensive. Astrid understood that she might need time, she wasn't trained like her after all. She was still 15 years old...
Astrid then took them both back to the company building. Winoa was nervous that Astrid would be caught for what she had done, but seeing her leisurely expression. She kept her words in her mouth.
When Astrid got back into the office she told Winoa to take a shower and calm herself down, she couldn't read minds, but could take a pretty good guess at what she was feeling right now...
After they both cleaned up, Astrid then changed into a more suitable outfit. Wearing a crimson suit, Winoa felt an irony. For a person that had blood on her hands, she seemed to be wearing that blood on her...
"For now take a look around. From now on you'll be my secretary, so bear that in mind." Astrid gave vague orders as she went to validate her work she had just completed...
Winoa nodded and wandered around the building. The floors from 3rd to 7th were completely empty. While the ground, 1st, 2nd, and floors above the 7th up to the top floor were occupied. She decided to have a look at the management Astrid put in place into the business first.
She ended up going to the Vice President's office. Wu looked up and saw an unfamiliar face, before he could scowl, he remembered the words his boss told him...
"Are you... Boss's secretary?" Wu asked in surprise. Was this girl even his bosses' age? What was going on with the world nowadays?
Winoa gave a slight nod. As she looked around the room. "Mm, the boss told me you would be coming today... Could you bring this up to her quickly?" Wu mumbled, then pulled out some paper from his desk.
Winoa took the stack of papers effortlessly. Wu looked at her in surprise, he had struggled to carry those to his office earlier... Were these girls some crazy hybrids?
So Winoa slowly shifted into her new role. While Making her presence known among the management and hacking team. She also went down to the lower floors to make connections with the new workers.
One worker was the same man Astrid had shown so much interest in. He was sitting at his computer with a slight frown on his face.
He was genuinely surprised to have managed to get the job. Even though the big boss personally gave him a contract, how would the world be so kind? But it was real, here he was, working in a newly established tech company.
What was Auxill's main goal for the moment? Well Astrid had set it up to be a direct partner for Hanxi, it was going to be a tech company making higher grade computers and quickly branch into electronics as a whole. When the time was right she was going to integrate them together. Even though that was a long way away, she was already smoothing out the path for the businesses.
Mr. Tuhs also knew of this plan, hence he didn't make any moves to expand into areas already occupied by his daughter, they were going to divide and conquer. Something proved to work...
"This plan seems good." As the man was staring at his computer in dilemma, he had a voice behind him.
Slightly startled by the young female voice, he had a premonition it was the big boss... But when he turned, he instead saw another young girl...
"W-Who are you?" The man asked in wonder, when did he have a co-worker this young?
Winoa looked at the man and gave a light smile. "Boss Borjan's secretary." She responded like it was something simple...
The man immediately turned serious and made himself a bit more presentable, he had experienced the Boss Borjan's expertise, so her secretary shouldn't be anyone simple...
It was at that time Winoa got a message on her phone. She had a quick look and spotted a certain 'Boss Borjan' messaging her...
"Come with me a minute." Winoa spoke in an emotionless tone. Mimicking what she had seen Astrid do many times.
It was effective, the young man couldn't see any resemblance to her being a teenager at all! He wondered if the girls were actually the same age as him. But had youthful faces...
Seeing their colleague following the girl that had been monitoring them for a while now, the employees all were stunned. Some had heard her call herself the big boss's secretary... But who would believe a girl looking so young could be secretary?
Winoa directly took the man to Astrid's office. Seeing the CEO's plaque, the man instinctively gulped.
Opening the door only lead to a sight of Astrid typing on a laptop at her desk. "I brought him here." Winoa announced her presence in a monotone voice.
Astrid raised her head and nodded. She was quite impressed with Winoa's growth. Maybe forcing her to view some less than savory moments could help enhance her growth?
"Alright, continue monitoring for now." Astrid sent away Winoa.
Her attention now was on the young man. Who was clearly quite nervous being called to the CEO's office...
Astrid looked at the man like she was looking at a gold mine, she was right. He had improved his theory rapidly, she wanted innovation and fluid decision-making. Especially since her management was inexperienced, she needed someone who could be fluid in their decisions...
.......
After Astrid had sent the man away. She felt quite down. Not mentally, but physically.
She had noticed that her physical strength was slowly dwindling, she quickly put the blame on her 'illness' and the lack of that 'soup'.
Astrid finished up the documents that Wu sent over. With such good lip service from her new employees, they had more and more job applications. Now she needed to be more selective in the people she chose, and she also lacked an experienced manager to help guide all the young people.
She could only monitor so much, so she was quite happy when she saw some of the more experienced employees give in their resumes. They might not be incredibly talented, but she didn't need that right now.
Astrid then froze, her stomach cramps had started to act up again. She was saw this should be it for the month though. But the pain was excruciating...
After an hour of being placed into such pain, Astrid finally felt liberated. Although she still felt most of the pain, at least she could move now...
Astrid then felt even more of her strength leaving her! But she put that aside for now, she had one more thing to do...
She messaged Winoa when she would be finished and then took the private elevator back down. She put on the helmet and got back on the bike. Ready to drive once again...
