On the 11th day, the factory receives a memo from the main office, that they will have a surprise inspection from the owner before their lunch break. all of the employees gathered within the factory canteen to await the VIP arrival.
the managers decided to select a few good-looking employees to give their special guests some flowers as a sign of gratitude for hiring them and one of the ten ladies was Amelia.
she was looking down at the floor thinking about why was she selected among those who are much more pleasing and beautiful than her. even with all the changes in her life, she can never get rid of her shyness at social events like this.
the moment came as they were all waiting for the manager's signal to approach the owner and the personnel of the head office. she was still having trouble hiding her shyness. there was a small spot on the very end of the huge canteen area it was near the emergency exit, it was a perfect place to set a make-ship stage for this special event.
the manager told all the ladies that he will give them the signal the moment the owner step up the stage and stand in front of everybody as the host introduce them one by one. the flower must be given to the owner and no one else,
so Amelia was already nervous from the moment she stood with the rest of the ladies at her work, she was holding her breath and contemplating what she would say the moment she hands over the flower, there were all waiting for a few minutes but to her, it was like an eternity. she cants even lift her head to see who were those people slowly entering the canteen area.
the host greeted all the guests and started introducing the most important person in the place, as he was about to say something the host respectfully told the owner to accept the flowers that his employees took the liberty to give him as a symbol of their thankfulness. the man just smiled and turned to the side as beautiful ladies went up one by one to give him one rose,
he thank each of the ladies and gave a charismatic nod to every single one of them. it was Amelia's time to be the last one but her legs became weak slowly she walked toward the stage, her steps were heavy and she was still looking down until she saw the man's shoes he gather all her strength to look up and had over the last flower,
the moment she looks up she was shocked to see who it was.
Guan Yu smiled and said thank you! the flower that she was about to hand over fell to the stage floor. she was so startled her legs almost gave out. as the flower was falling she bends down to pick it up sadly Guan Yu did the same so they end up hitting each other's heads by accident.
the crowd was shocked to see this very embarrassing situation Guan Yu's guards step in but with a wave of his hands they remain in their place, he made sure to save Amelia in this awkward scenario and held her arm gently as she stood up and return to her starting point.she was so embarrassed while walking back with her head down as the host continued the event as if nothing happened. the nine ladies that gave the flowers were giggling at Amelia's humiliation. most of the ladies at the company were already a bunch of snobs and think highly of themselves and have been torn in Amelia's life but due to the fact most older employees like Amelia's attitude and kindness, she would always help them in any way and any form, these made the older generation to see what kind of a woman Amelia was she was being protected by those who were as her side from all the gossip surrounding her.
she never cared about all the malicious gossip that most young ladies were talking about her. and didn't even invite the idea that she needs to defend herself against them. she was full of positive influence from those who are understanding and generous to her.
she never cared about all the malicious gossip that most young ladies were talking about her. and didn't even invite the idea that she needs to defend herself against them. she was full of positive influence from those who are understanding and generous to her. as host announcer gave the podium to Guan Yu his speech was not that long he assured them that they will be treated professionally and equally when it comes to work and salary.
he told everybody today her will eat among the people that work in his new factory as a gesture of openness and humility, everybody applauded and gave out a loud thundering cheer. with this the announcer as everybody to please line up to accept the canteen's specially prepared food for today. with this, all employees formed a line and waited as Guan Yu was also standing in line with most of the factory management hoping to get some blessing and can assert or lich his or her good side to the big boss.
Ms Lin was beside Guan Yu and informed him about the next schedule. but he wasn't listening to her. his mind was focused on Amelia and thinking about what was going on in her mind. as soon as Amelia have a serving of the prepared dish she went on her way and started to look for a place to sit, sadly due to her humiliating scene nobody from the younger generation nobody would accept her.
it took her a few seconds when she notices a waving hand that was located at the very end of the canteen it was her station co-workers, they were about four of them at the age of fifty and are married to one another, Mrs Santos was the first one to move to make sure Amelia can sit right next to her, Mr Santos was beside his wife and facing them was Mr and Mrs Robwell.
a special table was set up for the VIP, Guan Yu was already sitting at the table but his eyes were still looking for Amelia, the table next to him was the area where the nine ladies that gave him the flower sat, the managers were constantly trying to gain the attention they were all giving praise when Guan Yu overheard what the rest of the people were talking about.
he didn't even have the chance to taste his food when he heard them saying that Amelia should have been fired on the spot for the shameful act he was now annoyed and getting upset about the conversation that he heard. Ms Lin saw his reaction and spoke to the people in a mild tone.
"Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don't respect, appreciate, and value you."
Guan Yu saw where Amelia was sitting at that moment he stood up took his tray and walked toward Amelia everybody was speechless as the boss calmly sat beside Mr and Mrs Robwell facing Amelia. the rest of the people who were sitting at the VIP table got irritated and even said bad things toward Amelia among them was one of the female managers and two of the ladies who gave the flowers.
Ms Lin gave them a fair warning not to humiliate Master Guan Yu they all froze stiff and could not even swallow the food in their mouth. she assured them he was a kind person but if anybody would even dare try to inflict harm to anybody who he knew, no living god could ever save them from his fury. they all stop talking and just look down and swallow the food without chewing it.
Ms Lin left the table and stood a few meters away from his boss, and waited silently, the people at the table who were given a fair warning finally decide to talk to one other they couldn't believe what Ms Lin told them thinking it could be a joke, Amelia was not Chinese and they knew each other even before she started to work here, they are wonderful and thought how can she know Guan Yu at a personal level?
sadly human nature is too stubborn to accept certain information, and will still give in to their basic instinct. so some people will still test the waters and hopefully show that he or she was right to act on their impulses. this will eventually bring them to disaster.
there were different conversations created about Guan Yu's actions, somewhere about humility and understanding, and some talked about how he acted normal among his people but some leaned toward a more shameless accusation of Amelia. as the day ends more questions arise and some explanations were received openly but the majority of these individuals can't just accept the truth the work floor was filled with so many questions but sure enough the next day most people just forgot about and move on with their life.
but after a few chattering mouths continued to spread wild rumor's about Amelia, to the point the gossip went beyond the factory walls, and some information ended up on the wrong person. these individuals are born like this, they seek attention and recognition by finding fault among the people around them, they love to make other people suffer, and believe they are doing good deeds opening the awareness of the community by spreading this so-called story all over the place.
one of these individuals is Ms Eumeh Fang she took this as a sign that that woman should be eliminated to save her beloved Guan Yu from getting ruined by this kind of person. the plan was already in motion a few scrupulous men were watching Amelia as she travels back home planning to make their so-called harassment look like a random occurrence and Amelia was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
They have set the action on her actual payday and traumatized her to the point she won't come back to work even again, the four men called Ms Eumeh Fang and told her that they would ride the same bus when Amelia would travel back home and the last stop, they would execute the plan. these men were currently just waiting in front of the Factory.
there was a convenience store beside it a gas station and a small park across the factory, people from the factory would go out to buy personal things at the convenience store or just eat their lunch at the park. they saw this was a perfect place to watch her for two days, they were always waiting for her to get off from work and planning everything to the smallest detail. as their client wanted her name out of the picture.
the four men were waiting in the gas station parking lot when two black vans stopped right in front of them, was five pm in the afternoon so many vehicles were coming in and out of the economic zone. so they didn't even bother to question one another about the sudden appearance of the van. both van doors opened and six fully armed men inflicted physical harm on the four men they were not able to defend themselves and were a drag inside the van, at the same time, Ms Eumeh Fang was waiting for a piece of good news coming from one of the four gang members.
she waited until the next day her phone rang and a furious voice shouted at her, it was the gang leader he told her that the plan failed and their action cost the lives of his two men. she could not understand what the man was saying and ask him what the hell is going on?
the gang leader told her to open the tv and watch the live news now ...
so she did open and watch the news. she fell on the floor and vomited as images of chop bodies were seen at the garbage dump it was the bodies were the two gangs of the four-member gang team that she hired, the gang leader told her the remaining two living henchmen were ditched in front of his hideout at midnight, and their index fingers and both their tongues were cut off. he told her whoever the woman is, she was being protected by a powerful group and no small or big gang will ever accept her request ever again...then he hangs up.
she was petrified with fear, she was still thinking of the reason why this had to happen and why now, she was shaking not because of what happened to those men, her mind was still diluted with the idea that this might all be a coincidence and they were all scamming her. she hired the best most expensive and secretive investigator in the country just to get a background check on Amelia and saw nothing that could even rattle a cat of fear, she was nothing a nobody.
the gangster's death might not be connected to what they were planning, but rather they just got unlucky that day they were gangsters after all. and chances that they were attacked by rival gangs might be the reason they were killed and tortured so send a message to the leader, Eu-meh Fang was desperately trying to convince herself that it was all coincidence, and praying that her name won't be indicated in the investigation.
she walked back and forth and she was biting her fingernails. her fear dissipated and her anxiety ran all over her body, after the gruesome news about the mutilated body parts of gangsters, Eu-meh Fang's manager grab the tv remote and turned it off, but sadly a blind item story was currently trending on all social media sites across the world about a certain famous actress that makes headlines about dating a certain billionaire circulating the entertainment world.
no names were said but in the end, she made those announcements and after almost a week nothing happened, netizens started to bombard the chat room negatively, mentioning that she was just after his money and bragging that she can have any man she desires. other chats were just saying she was a gold digger and a harlot.
thousands of chats were all about her and all the negative things she did in the past. the manager saw this and need to act fast to clear her name. so plans of overturning this said situation were set in motion, Eu-meh Fang manager with two other assistants called all the news stations to just give out official statements and drastically called even to set a face to face meeting with Mr Guan Yu Liu Chen but it was declined by Ms Lin twice saying her boss was on a business trip for the entire week and this was more important than any other meeting outside and not connected with Fu Xi Shi Corporation.
as Eumeh Fang's manager and assistants were trying their very best to save her reputation, while she was sitting in her Empty Suite bedroom which cost hundred of thousand per day was now so noisy coming from all the calls outside her room suite. she was thinking hard while drinking wine just to get some control over what was happening.
then she suddenly remember a plot from a movie that she made a few years ago, she was thinking if the same plot can be used and turn the table around and become an opportunity to become the victim and act that a manipulative evil woman was the one who ruins the chance to be happy and now the same person is trying to destroy her career as an actress.
she smiled and loudly called her manager, as soon as the manager walked into her room she already have another devilish plan to be made. the manager heard all that Eu-meh Fang want to do, like her the people within her circle were the same they were manipulative, self-centered individuals. they would do anything just to be on top of the entertainment food chain. and currently, Eu-meh Fang was on top so like a bunch of Hyenas they grunts, groan, lows, giggle, yell, growl, laugh, and whine to all that the money maker wants and desired.
