Darcia's smirk widened, her board members were back. Her father's company was 70% back on track.
But she intends to make it 100%.

Chaos was what Zachary met when he walked into his office that morning. His workers were running Helter skelter and it got him even more confused.
He got to the front of his office and met his secretary making a phone call, she looked worried too
"What's going on Amelia?" Zachary asked
"Sir..." She trailed
Zachary frown, as far he knows Amelia is the most organized and composed person, she was also reliable so seeing her this worried made Zachary fear for the unknown
"What do you mean by that?!" Zachary's loud yell rented the office, Amelia flinched and took a step back
"I'm very sorry sir, I... The call just kept coming in, we're trying our best to get a talk with them"
"What about Mr Greystone" He asked
"He was the first one that called sir" She replied
"No,no,no" Zachary shook his head as he sank on his chair helplessly
He shook his head as if trying to snap out if his dream, if ever it was a dream
"How come?" This came out more like a rhetorical question as if he was asking himself, his voice was raspy
His important business investors just withdrew their investments from his company. The only ones left were the irrelevant ones, those ones will add little or nothing to the company
Zachary's eyes widened when he recalled what Darcia had said to him that night
"Today marks the beginning of your doom... I'll start with your company, then your family and then your poor pathetic life"
It can't be her right? Those were empty threats right? But they weren't empty threats, and she 'Adrielle' was responsible
Zachary's fists clenched in anger
"That bitch!" He muttered furiously. He emitted a really terrifying aura that made Amelia take several steps backwards.

Meanwhile in Darcia's company, loud cheers can be heard, they were all celebrating their success in getting back their board members
Darcia even let them hold a mini party that night, even the cafeteria's menu was changed for that day. The staffs all thought of today as the best
But only Darcia, Livia, Corrie and Denzel knew why they had thrown the party. Normally just drinks and little partying would do but they made it extravagant for a reason
In the accounting department, a figure could be seen in the shadow. The figure turned and looked around before dialing some strings of numbers
It rang for some seconds before it was answered
"Quick, send a new account" the figure said
"Really?" Another voice rang from the other end
"Yea, we're having a little party and no one's on their guard"
"Alright, I'll send it right now"
The figure ended the call and soon a message popped in, as the figure made to open a message..
"Hey girl what you doing there Melissa?" A slurred voice came from behind and the figure jolted in shock, she turned to see her friend
She forced a smile
"I think I'm a bit tipsy and I think I took the wrong door hahaha" she stood up and walked to her friend
"Hahahaha, I'm drunk too" Her friend exclaimed loudly and laughed out drunkenly
"Let's go back" Melissa said and her friend hummed in agreement
They went back to the main hall, but someone suddenly tapped Melissa from behind
"Yes?"
"Boss wants to see you" the person said
"Oh.... Alright" she said and turned to her friend
"I'll be right back babe" she said
"Alright" Her friend slurped drunkenly and smiled
Melissa stood up and headed for Darcia's office, she was scared for no reason
Getting to the door of Darcia's office, she exhaled and knocked
The door opened and Livia's face came to view
"Com'n in" she said and opened the door wider
Melissa smiled and walked in slowly and met Darcia leaning on her chair lazily
"Good evening ma" she greeted and Darcia nodded
She stood up and walked to Melissa slowly, Melissa had her head facing the ground. Darcia placed her index finger on her chin and raised Melissa's face
As soon as Melissa's eyes locked with Darcia's, her mind became blank
"Who's the mole in your department?" Darcia asked with a raised brow
"Susan, I'm just someone that helps her most times" Melissa said
"Where's Susan?" Darcia asked
"At the office, probably wiring some cash" Melissa said and giggled slightly
Darcia looked at Livia and the later understood immediately
She nodded and left, Darcia turned back to Melissa
"You say you help her eh?" Darcia asked again
"Yes" Melissa nodded
"That means you always want to do yours too right?" She asked
"Yes, I tried taking a million dollars tonight" Melissa said and smiled again
She had no idea what she was saying, she didn't even know if she was talking. That's right Darcia hypnotized her
"You're gonna show me the proof that you've been stealing from the company and also tell me the person you always send the cash to" Darcia said and Melissa nodded before bringing out her phone
"It's the ex supervisor, we've always been giving him some cash from the company and we also helped him in getting all of our board members" She said and showed Darcia the transaction history she always kept in her Phone
"Good girl" Darcia said and snapped her fingers
Immediately Melissa cake back to her senses
"Ma'am" She gasped and looked at Darcia fearfully
"So you've been sending money to that son of a bitch, my father's money?" Darcia's smirked emitted danger
"No... I mean yes.... Sorry, I'm very sorry" Melissa immediately went on her knees
"I can remember warning you all on my first day here, so I don't give second chances, after all you confessed yourself, you have you pay the consequence"
Melissa's feet gave up and she sat on the floor, only God knows what going to happen to her

Livia walked on Susan sending some money to an unknown account
"Bravo" she clapped and Susan turned in shock
"Who... What are you doing here?" Susan asked
"I wanna know what you're doing" Livia shrugged and Susan smirked immediately
"What, you want some cash too?" She asked
"You're stealing?"
"No, I'm just taking extra money adding to my salary" she said and Livia raised a brow in surprise, she didn't even hypnotize Susan and she was already confessing
Or maybe, she thought Livia was one of them
Livia chuckled and shook her head at the thought of this, some people really are greedy
Immediately two security guards came in and took Susan
"It seems you can't remember my face, I'm Miss Adrielle's assistant" Livia said and Susan's eyes widened
"F*ck!" She cursed between her breath
She was done for
The party was still going on when the music suddenly stopped, they all turned and the hall immediately was filled with murmurs and compliants
Suddenly, there was a spotlight in the middle and it was Darcia, she was smiling, but the smile wasn't warm at all
"Okay everyone, sorry to disturb your party but I got something" She said
And immediately, the huge projector behind was turned on, the video of Melissa confessing and that of Susan was played
....."oh my god, it's Susan".....
.... "To think I actually respected her for her obviously fake sincerity".....
..... "And Melissa seemed to fuckin innocent, such a bitch" .....
... "Karma is really a bitch, remember when Susan framed someone for stealing last year"....
..."off-course".....
These were murmurs that echoed in the hall
"Since I'm not wicked, they'll pay each and every dime they stole from this company, they'll be fired shamefully and they must confess this to the press, everyone has to know about it" Darcia said
Susan and Melissa's eyes widened from where they were, they had to pay back every dime?
Melissa was already shaking
"And.... Their bank accounts will be emptied, they will have to start all over again from the scratch.... Trust me girls no huge company here will be hiring you after this" Darcia said and flashed a smile
Her evil payback smile...
