CHAPTER 10

"You know what to do, right?" She asked Ray who sat across her and started to read the papers. "You mean crumble this one if it sounds like trash?" She asked and started to crumble the paper she was reading with. Andrea smirked at the child, obviously what she did was write. Ahh, the life of someone very competent. Why aren't they like Ray? This child, an 18-year-old child is already good at handling the company. While her employees are already 25 plus, can't even write a better proposal to offer.

"Good job, Ray." She commented and started to read the documents again.

-

It was already noon and both of them are still on the documents. The place was filled with crumpled papers, due to Ray who's always crumpling bad reports. It was silent, Ray was wearing an inPod, keeping herself busy while Andrea was so focused on the documents, the silence is healing her.

"It's twelve, do you want something?" Andrea broke the silence between her and Ray. Ray removed her right inPod and blinked at Andrea. "Eh?" She suddenly blurted out.

"Lunch?" Andrea offered to which Ray nods. "Let me call Solaris-"

"I'll go to him. It'll be inconvenient for him to go here." She immediately said to Andrea when she was about to call the poor Secretary. "Who said it'll be inconvenient for him to get here? I shall deduct his salary." Andrea said with faint annoyance in her voice.

"No! I was just expressing his feelings, sister." She immediately said, feeling expressive. "Suit yourself," Andrea replied shortly, making Ray feel more comfortable as if peace enveloped her heart.

She stoops up and walks out of the office. Solaris' office is right outside her sister's office door. As she went outside, it was as if the whole employee suddenly stood up, looking at her as if she was their salvation. She began to feel somewhat not okay as if she has a phobia attack when they suddenly started to run towards her, a d started to question who she was and how was she inside.

"Little miss! Save us, please tell the CEO that we need her presence!" Someone shouted at her which Ray finds annoying. "Miss! Please tell the CEO to grant us an interview! We badly need this project to work!" They were all madmen shouting at her, knowing she was just in front of them.

"I told everyone to go fuck themselves since the CEO is busy." Someone suddenly said as the people who were frantic earlier suddenly stopped bombarding the young lady with the same, please. It was Solaris the secretary. He stood up in front of Ray, who tries to control to let her emotions in peace.

"Wasn't that a simple order, gentlemen?" He asked as his green eyes pierced every man in front of him. "I especially ask for everyone's understanding, but it seems y'all are dumb." He added, triggering everyone in front of him.

"How dare you speak like that to me?! I am the CPO of the Montenegro Corp-"

"How dare you talk to me you disgusting piece of trash? Are you dumb? How can a person like you become a CPO? Do CEOs nowadays don't have tastes in picking their men?" Solaris snorted at them. Their faces became red as tomatoes if they were boiled so hard.

"Does that mean my sister doesn't have a taste in picking you?" Ray whispered behind Solaris' back making him look at her and glare at her which she just laughed at. Her smile resembles a mischievous cat as she places her hand in her mouth while smiling at him. It's fun to tease someone like this.

"Shut up, Lady." He embarrassedly replied to her and composed himself. He was about to open his mouth once more when Ray looked at the door where she came from and saw Andrea who was looking at them with fire in her eyes. Looks like someone is mad.

"Sister!" She shouted 'unintentionally' making everyone cower in fear. She the devil, steps outside her office, leaning on the door and her eyes show that she's not having fun with all of these commotions.

"I was wondering why the fuck is my sister late, even my Secretary wasn't answering my calls." Her cold voice grabbed all their attention. It was as if there was a force that was making them bow their head inadvertently. "It turns out, there's a bunch of fools attacking both of them whom I was looking for." She added making them flinch.

The room fell into silence, no one started to talk, and lips were closed as if they were stitched. Ray was smirking, the scene was funny earlier. These sheep act as if they were wolves who'd bite them, but crouches whenever a lion appears in front of them. Ha, total sheep in wolf's clothing.

Solaris, on the other hand, has calm features, and his heart has calmed after the hero walks in. He wanted to grin so badly but forced himself to stop smiling. You never know what will happen if Andrea spotted him smiling. It'll be the end of him.

"I'm already ravenous," Ray explained making Solaris flinch a little. This is what he's been saying about, the unwanted attention of Andrea that's been placed on him. "Solaris." A cold voice ran out from Andrea's mouth making Solaris flinch again. Oh boy.

"I'll take care of this mess. Go buy lunch." She said that Solaris praised God secretly for not throwing Andrea's rage unto him. "If God exists, I thank you for today! Hallelujah!" He thought and looked at Andrea before bowing a little.

"At your command, Lady." He said and disappeared from the scene. Now what's left is Ray, smirking while looking at these fools lining up with their mouth shut and Andrea who slowly approached Ray and stand beside her, still eyes are cold as the ever cold of the south and north pole.

"Now, where was I again?" She asked herself and folded her arms. It looks like something will happen and it'll be the end of them.

"I specially ordered my secretary to call off my appointments today, I thought everyone understands that." Her menacing voice echoed in the hall, it was like hearing a monotone this cold. Her face had no emotions plastered. "I won't be seeing all of you forever." She added, ending everyone's career.

"M-Madame! If you do this, your company will experience bankruptcy! W-without us—" someone dared to voice out. Ray on the other hand has this sheepish smile on her lips, obviously enjoying the show she created. Not technically that it was she who created the mess, but it was her who "unintentionally" called her sister.

"Is that so?" She blindly asked and chuckled. Her chuckle can't be identified as a melody that lingers in their ears, it was more like the cackle of a witch ready to curse them.

"Ray, inside," Andrea called for Ray which she immediately followed. Everyone was left outside the room, others were crying, some of them were out of the blue and some of them were angry, saying they don't deserve to be ignored.

Everyone was silent. Anger, sadness, and confusion envelop the surroundings. Not until the door pops open, revealing the child whom they curse for calling her sister. "Uhm, I just wanted to let you all know that my sister said good luck in surviving." She said, smiling innocently towards the men who glared at her.

"Oh! And one more thing, sister's planning to destroy your companies. She ordered me to memorize your faces and profiles so it's easy to allocate your companies. Now, wasn't that fun? Good luck!" She sweetly said and closed the door leaving everyone speechless. Now, their company will be at stake because of what they did.
