Natsumi
"As for this month, our sales are still rising. It continues to increase and we have also exceeded our quota for this month."
Why do I feel like someone wants to sabotage my company? Or maybe I'm just being paranoid, but my instincts never failed me.
Now that I'm back in business, many more will try to harm me. Maybe the kidnapping is one of them. Someone wants to steal my throne.
"Your Highness, are you still with us?" I see the concern in Mr. Tyson's eyes.
"I'm just thinking something very important."
I think I need help with it.
After the meeting with the board, I remained seated in my seat.
"Give Mr. Tyson and Mr. Dizon an invitation. An elegant gold butterfly."
"Lady, is there any problem? Maybe I can help?"
"You did a lot, Michelle. Let me handle this one, but you can still come."
In three days, a lot happened. I don't know but I feel different now especially in the company.
"My lady, the preparation for the sports fest night is all set. I have already delivered what you will wear as well as the silver mask that you will use."
I almost forgot that thing too. I'm too clouded and I don't know what will I do first. I think I'm going crazy.
I quietly went straight to my private office here in the building. A soundproof glass room that overlooks the people outside my office and also overlooks the entire city from it.
Just a few minutes later, the ones I was waiting for arrived as well.
"Your Highness." they both said and bowed at the same time.
"Have a seat."
They are the only ones who can help me with this problem.
"I'll go straight to the point, someone wants to steal my position."
They were both shocked by what I said. Who would have thought that someone would want to take the top position here in this company? You can't easily even get in here, it's difficult. How about stealing my position?
"How did that happen? Is the sabotage part of this?"
"It's not vague Sean, even the kidnapping that happened to my son could be part of their plan."
"Alexander is right, someone that is innocent was involved when that happened. They probably also knew that your family was in this group so they did that thing. Tactically, they will give priority to you because you have been in this group for a long time."
"Why us?"
"Good question, Sean. Why you? Because you are my allies. You can't just knock down a big tree, you have to cut the root before the tree itself. Got my point?"
Looks like they’ve got my point, we need to work together on it. Because if someone else leads it, it will ruin the lives of the people who work here.
"I want to know who is behind this happening. I want both of you to lead this one. I want a result as soon as possible. Don't tell anyone about this. Only the three of us know this."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After I talked to them I left immediately and went to the condo. I looked at the dress and mask Michelle had prepared for me later. All I can say about it, very elegant. After I saw what I was going to wear, I went to the University.
I immediately took care of the arrangements for the event to be held later. I hired an event organizer, but I also tell him what I want to see at each part of the party later.
"All set? Did I forget something? When something is missing, just inform me or tell the Head Mistress about it. She wants the event to be perfect."
After I talked to the organizer, I left to make arrangements.
I was just silent while my makeup artist doing his thing, I can't speak now. I was so tired and thinking a lot.
Am I ready?
Is this the first step to letting everyone know who I am?
I rested deeply. My situation is very complicated. How do I fight for what I want? If everyone depended on me?
Should I let them suffer just to get what I want?
Very difficult.
"Try to smile Miss Natsumi, what a waste of your beauty! I made your face beautiful and then you just frowned there?! Oh, my! If I'm the only one blessed with that kind of face, I'll always smile."
I was just shaken by what Frenzy said.
"Crazy! You're handsome, you're not beautiful." I answered.
"But honestly speaking Miss, you should always smile even when there is a problem. Let the problem flow. They will also bore you." I smiled at what he said.
Maybe I’m just too drowning in my problem.
"Maybe you're right. Thank you."
"Always welcome Miss."
6 pm is the call time for the ball, the program will start at 7. I should be there, taking care of it because I am the Student President. But I'm at Michelle's office here at the university.
I'm wearing an elegant red empire dress. Well, I don't know what they called this dress. They just called it empire because maybe it still looks like a dress for royal people. Michelle knows how to impress me. Good taste.
"Hime, how are you?"
"Why are you asking me KC? You know the answer already."
"C'mon Hime, don't pretend in front of us. What are you up to? You know it's a big risk for you. Telling the whole world who we are is a matter of death and life! What's your plan?"
I looked at Zeke, a cold stare that sent a shiver down to his spine. I know what I'm doing.
"Stop asking, please? I have to confuse all our opponents. Will you please cooperate with me? Just cooperate, if you don't want me to think that you were just sent here to watch over me in everything I do?"
"Hime."
I ignored them. I just quietly closed my eyes while waiting for someone to pick us up here in this office. I also didn't take long to close my eyes and just looked at all the books that Michelle had here in her office.
Big risk...
Yes, this is a big step for me. I have to do this for me as well. For them to know who we are here in this world can easily intimidate them.
They know what we can do, it’s easier for me to do what I want. I can freely do what I want. But still, not free as everyone knows.
"Say what you want to say. What you're doing is irritating." I can tell my two cousins.
"Beautiful, Hime. Very beautiful," they said at once.
I laughed at what they said.
I don’t know if they’re just scared of me or they’re just telling the truth.
We looked at each other when the door suddenly opened.
"Your Highnesses, it's time."
I smiled at what we said.
"Cous, it's showtime."
