Chapter 32: Chapter 32 : Aria

Just as the executives were about to leave the meeting room, the door was pushed open by a valiant young woman, with bright purple hair and a fashionable office lady outfit. She entered the room with 20 guards with firearms following her. It seems the help they requested has arrived.

Victor looked at her but said nothing, just smiled warmly.

And Before she could say anything, one of the smart managers quickly introduced Victor, to avoid serious problems.
“Miss. Aria, you are right on time. This is Mr. Victor white, the new CEO of our company.”

Aria looked at Victor with her clear eyes and seemed to have recognized him, especially his purplish hair, so she turned to the guards and ordered them to stop.
But they didn’t listen to her but looked to the back where a burly man entered behind them and looked at the situation, then ran straight to Carla and checked her situation.

Then he looked at Victor and ordered
“Take him down…”

“Stop” Carla interrupted him. “You can’t touch him. we will talk later, now help me go to the infirmary,” she said to him in a soft voice.

He nodded his head and gestured the guards to be dismissed then helped Carla walkout.

Aria also ran to them and tried to help, but Carla seemed to dislike her because as soon as she stood up, she quickly pushed her away then she quickly staggered out of the room with that man.

Victor looked at that guy with murderous eyes, his name was Jacob Rice, the head of security in the company and Carla’s brother. He was also the culprit behind today’s accident. Back then Jacob once execute this same operation successfully against an opposing company chairman, and Victor was responsible for covering him back then. So the moment he had an accident today he knew who was behind it.

Victor knew him very well, he was a snake who would not stop at anything in order to fulfill his desires.

He was probably afraid that Victor’s taking over the company would reveal how much money he embezzled with his sister. So he tried to get rid of him.

But Jacob didn’t understand anything about the family and didn’t know that if something bad were to happen to Victor, his head would be chopped without a trial.

Victor will not let him go. The reason he didn’t want the police involved was that he plans to get rid of Jacob by himself.

Soon the rest of the employees left the room one by one. Leaving the twins who were standing next to a wall, while holding each other’s hands. They were probably wishing they weren’t there. the good image they just built about their young master seems to be crumbling, and Aria, who kept standing there, waiting for the last executive to close the door on his way out.

“Aria White has seen the young master,” Aria said as she bowed to Victor per family protocol.

“Aren’t you going to call me brother?” He asked warmly.

“Don’t joke with me, young master. This one knows her place,” she answered coldly.

Aria white was his half-sister and Carla’s daughter. Although she had purple hair, she did not have the family’s bloodline, so she was not considered a legitimate daughter. This meant she could only address the heirs by their titles, as she was not considered a part of the family.

Victor looked at her beautiful face and remembered how many times she aided him in his previous life. She was one of the few people who he truly trusts and admires.

“Young master, don’t you think you went a little too rough on my mother” She blamed him politely.

“Don’t play this game with me, If I had to punish her for her disrespect, according to the family’s rules, She would lose an arm at least. You know that well” He said.

Aria knew that this was the truth, and indeed Victor went easy on her mother. And although Carla didn’t treat her well, she was her mother after all so she looked angrily at Victor.

Victor was amused so continued to stare at her face, and that made her soon a little bit nervous, she have heard certain rumors about this younger brother. So she decided to end this pointless confrontation.

“Young master, why don’t you let me lead you to your office ?” she asked, intending to divert his attention.

Victor nodded his head and gestured for her to lead the way. And so she did. And after following her with the twins to the upper floor, she led him into a spacious office.
It had a huge window overlooking vein city and was furnished with a luxurious desk and leather chairs and couches, in addition to many famous paintings on the walls.

“Young master, this was esteemed father’s room, but now you are the CEO, so it would naturally be yours. It has already been thoroughly cleaned yesterday,” she said as she showed him the room.

“Good, I don’t want to know or see any shreds of evidence of father’s hobbies here,” He said, and that caused Aria to blush as she knew precisely what he was talking about.

“Don’t worry, everything here is new, young master,” She said while intending to leave. But his next words took her by surprise.

“You work here as your mother’s second secretary right? From now on, you will be my secretary,” He said

“No, young master, I can’t, that’s impossible. If you force me I would rather quit.” She firmly refused, as she didn’t want to be left alone with him in the same room. If the twins were not here, she would have already fled. She have heard about him, her brother was a beast, she thought. and with no other words, she turned around and walked towards the door intending to flee.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking about. But let me warn you, if you don’t come work for me, I would expose to father that the one behind all the company’s new plans and its recent revival, was you and not your idiot mother,” he said.
“If he knew that, he may fire your mother right away, and maybe even punish her for scamming him. You know how much father hates to be lied to,” he added.

Aria stopped, ‘How did he know that?’ she questioned herself. but she didn’t know the answer. But it was the truth. Her mother’s management made the company near bankruptcy so she, who was a business school student, offered to help her mother fix the situation, and out of desperation, Carla Agreed.
To everyone’s surprise, the company became like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Carla who was the VP, and the actual manager of the company took all the credit for herself and posed as a business genius, while her daughter Aria chose to remain silent and support her mother.

Victor knew what Aria was thinking, and he also knew that she was a very sentimental girl. Although her mother treated her harshly, she still loved her and did everything in her power to help her.

He looked at her back and continued,
“I will not be here in the company most of the time, and I have no interest in management. So if you are my secretary, I would leave all these troublesome things to you, and you only have to consult me about company plans once in a while.”

This made Aria choose to compromise as she would not be spending much time with him, and it would be the end of her mother if he exposed her.

“OK, I agree, but you have to promise me to leave my mother alone and that you would never lay your hands on me,” She turned around to face him again and said nervously. She had to make things clear.

“Ok, I agree, for the first condition, but tell Carla to not cross my line, as for your second condition, as long as you don’t want me to, I will never touch you, I swear on my honor as a young master.” He said with an evil smile that sent shivers down her’s and the twins’ spines.

“As if I would ever want that,” she thought with disgust.
“Now, does the young master need anything else?” she asked him.

“A few things,” He said “First, inform the reception that my assistant will arrive here later, so lead her straight to my office. And Second, let someone prepare some cold drinks for me and my maids, we just had a long walk in the sun.” He said as he stretched his limbs on his chair.

“Understood, What is your third order?” Aria asked, then shot the twins an inspecting glance. she was wondering what was their relationship with this perverted brother of her.

“You might not know, but I just had an accident on the way here. And I have reasons to believe that someone may have tampered with the car I was taking, You can ask the driver Leo about that, he should be recovering in some hospital, send him some flowers and a fruits basket in my name. What I need you to do is to investigate who did it.” He said to Aria who shivered a little, she know exactly who would do such a stupid thing.

“Ah, and get me a list of those guards who disobeyed you earlier, then fire them all, no matter who is behind them, this is an executive order.” He said he intends to have them crippled later. Those guys were not a good bunch, he knew that from first hand experience.

“Understood, I will see to it immediately.” Aria nodded, before quickly leaving the room as if she was fleeing.

She was going to arrange for that stupid uncle of hers to leave the country to protect him. but would he do that? Victor knows that he wouldn’t, he just wanted to scare him out of his hole and kill him when he gets a chance.
