The two secretaries were thoroughly humiliated at this and the third one had to cover her mouth to hide her smile.The first secretary was angered at that and threatened,"who are you?And how dare you just walk into the CEO"s office?Would you like us to call security to show you your place?"
At this time Alicia glided forward and stood toe to toe with her.In her silky voice,she then said,"there is no need to feel humiliated.I can help you prove it,if you wish."
Before she could answer,a.s.sistant Kim stood at the door of Ryu Long"s cabin with the door closed behind him.In a stern voice he asked,"What is going on here?"
He had just been sent out by the CEO to bring his wife and the three secretaries outside were blocking her way!He was about to reprimand them and greet a.s.sistant Lu when a subtle gesture from Alicia stopped him.
Answering his question,Al said,"the secretaries here were discussing Madam Long"s existence.I just thought I should help them.Let me tell you all a story about Ryu Long."Looking at the three secretaries,Al moved to lean against the table and continued,"you can even ask a.s.sistant Kim if it is the truth at the end.Here goes,"a little while back,Ryu Long was sitting in the VIP lounge of a club with his friends and his wife had excused herself to use the restroom.A beautiful woman thought that he was free so she cam and planted herself in his lap.Ofcourse he did not push away the woman but his friends warned her,"you are courting danger.His wife is very possessive.She will cut you into pieces and bury you if you touch her husband.You should move."The girl who had gotten bolder by Ryu not protesting smirked and said,"Whoever his wife is cannot be more powerful than CEO Long here.So he will help should there be a need.Right?"The girl had asked coyly.""
Al stopped the story when she noticed the three gazes riveted on her and turned to a.s.sistant Kim and said,"Why don"t you continue what rhe boss said?"The three sets of gazes turned to him so he completed the story,"The boss agreed of course and said.."Before the three could react however he continued,and said,"he wouldn"t want his wife to dirty her hands so he will cut up the body and the HELP her bury the bones."
Secretary 1, 2 and 3: ".."
The three secretaries were frozen there,their heart trembling in fear if that was true.But someone was always bound tl be suspicious.Secretary 2 looked at Alicia but without her previous disdain but asked,"How do you know all this?a.s.sistant Kim is his a.s.sistant so he would know but how are you aware of that?"
a.s.sistant Kim just shook his head and answered with a small smile,"Of course she would know as the other party involved.After all Madam Long was the one who would have t carry out the threat."
It took a moment for the three secretaries to accimilate what a.s.sistant Kim meant by that statment.While the three secretaries stood there,Alicia went to the first one and closed the two b.u.t.tons on her s.h.i.+rt.Then spying a scarf on another table,tied it around Secretary two"s nect covering her over exposed chest.Looking the third in the eys,she raised her eyebrow and said,"It was nice meeting you all.You can address me as a.s.sistant Lu,here inthe office and if outside then Madam Long will suffice."She,then turned to a.s.sistant Kim who was trying his best to suppress his smile and said,"Why are you standing here,a.s.sistant Kim?"
In a grave voice ,he answered,"I have been ordered not to come back until I have you with me,a.s.sistant Lu."
Alicia nodded and was about to follow him in when two meek voices said behind her,"We are sorry.Please forgive us Madam."
Alicia turned around and said,"This time I will let it go.But next time if your clothes or thoughts are even a bit inappropriate,you will suffer the consequences."And then she went inside.
After the meeting in which a.s.sistant Kim had pa.s.sed over all the files and appointments to a.s.sistant Lu,she gestured him to talk to her in the other office.He nodded and getting out went into the other cabin.Ryu followed the exchange and raised an eyebrow to which Al succintly answered,"Piranhas."He turned back to his work without a word.
Alicia went into the cabin and said,"a.s.sistant Kim,find a suitable replacement for Secretary three."
Kim looked over at Alicia in question and asked,"not the other two?"As far as he had noticed she had been appropriately dressed.Alicia agreed and continued,"And when you transfer her,do it to a department with a female head."
"If you don"t mind me asking,why her?"
"Because,I want to torture the other two."
a.s.sistant Kim: "..."
"Don"t worry so much.a.s.sistant Kim,I am just kidding regarding them.The third secretary need not be transferred as well."
Alicia did not say that though the other two had been planning to seduce Ryu,she had an intuition that the third secretary was a white lotus.After all she had known Alicia had been standing there all along and still let her colleagues babble.
