Melanie sat down in front of the C.E.O and explained why she came to his company.
"That means 8% goes to the economy?" Melanie said.
The man cocked his brow with a surprised face,then he replied "Yes,if I may ask,how do you know Miss Archer?"
"It's simple maths" she stopped,then continued in a low tone "Well everyone wants to earn,the economy got a fair share,I would not give out more than 5%".
"Really?!" A surprised smile danced on his lips.
"Eh? Uhmmm.." she smiled awkwardly and rubbed her nape with her palms,she didn't expect him to hear her.
"You did well, my city is well off,so we(the capitalist) don't spend much on economy".
"Miss Archer,if you would excuse me,I'm having a meeting in the next one minute,you can maybe take a tour round the company, I'll assign someone to assist you so.." the CEO said.
"It's alright, I'm fine by myself,I have the company's guide book " she smiled.
"If there's a problem please let my secretary know" the CEO said. Melanie, have a curt nod.
He left the office after her.
It was 2pm in the afternoon,she decided to tour the company like he said.
She liked the interior of the company until she entered a private sector,not taking note of the "keep out",even the red beeper didn't catch her attention, because she was awestruck by what she saw. "Panthers?? Pan.. panthers!!" Melanie touched her cheeks,"I'm not hallucinating right?, panthers in a fucking company,wow..." she turned and her eyes widened more "Aaahhhhh,a den of silver wolves!!" she was totally screaming.
*Another part of the company*
A security guard in all black,waved a tablet at his boss,the footage of a certain someone In a private sector, touching the animals was displayed on the tablet,the alarm kept on beeping and showing red. "This lady is full of surprises", every normal person would be screaming,the dramatic ones would have passed out,but she was patting them?
Mel wasn't sure if it was alright to take a picture,she took anyways with the panthers and wolves.
As trained animals,they didn't hurt her.
"oh boyo.. boyo.. boyo... girlie... girlie..." she pats them. She truly is crazy.
sighs "Too bad I have to go,if I can, I'll adopt one of you" she smiled cheekily.
Melanie is a softie,a weakling (most people's word) but she wasn't scared of these beasts.
Mel entered an elevator,this one was different, because it was in the private sector. But no!,"the over careful'' Miss Archer didn't notice. She wanted to check out the lobby area in the company
she pressed the lobby button,so this lobby would be a different one and not the company's main lobby.
While waiting in the elevator,she searched her head, trying to remember where she g
had seen Zan CEO before,she was sure she had seen him before. She remembered that awful dream she had earlier,the person who held her hands,yes!! it was him.
she snapped out of her thought as the elevator dinged.She came out of the elevator,first things her eyes met where expensive cars. She could guess the amount,a smile crept into her face as she saw one of her favorite car.
A sport car,she calls it her "baby girl",she had it back in her city. She loves that car so much as much as she loved Ethan.
'talk about loving someone!!(-_-;)'.
In total,they where 16 of them. Walking further,she heard bold voices,they were having a conversation?an argument?
The place where the voices came from was heavily guarded.
Man 1: Not only the higher economy,the under world should be developed too,the kids there are far from surviving.
The man speaking has a bright scar on his face,from his right eyebrow down to the top of his cheek bone just under his eye,he slammed the desk with his fist.
Another man spoke up
"Why do we have to care about the underworld and their business? Let them figure things out themselves. Our stock will shorten, don't you think so Mr z?.."
The way he Spoke,it didn't seem like he was asking a question,it was if he was making a decision.
It made sense to Melanie that the one with the scar is Mr z.
"And let children die?!" Z retorted. He glanced at the CEO of zan group, everyone looked at him(Zan CEO) he seems to be the one to do the final calling.
The man sighs " we should prepone the opening of the film industry and give 5% of the resources to the underworld, postpone the exporting date,send our regrets to our clients and let them know we would compensate them,that would give more time for the ships to get ready".
The 2nd man to speak rolled his eyes "hmph! I tell you Z. This will slow things down,drag us back and we'd lose money. Under world!!pfft!!''.
The meeting was dismissed.
Melanie gained knowledge.
1) there's an underdeveloped under world
2) this information wasn't for her ears to hear.
She'd better scram out of here!!The moment she moved,she knocked something down,
Why of all times??! The men turned around and looked at her, perfect 32 eyes set on her.
"you said you won't cheat, Ethan it has just been 2 yrs, please Ethan, you know I can't live without you"
"Mel, can't you see nobody wants you here?"
He hissed with disgust and pushed the frail figure in front of him.
Ethan Fordham had brought in his mistress and asked his wife, Melanie for a divorce, claiming that she's barren.
While the ever rich and intelligent Melanie archer gets a brain tumor followed by a dark inner self and childhood trauma.
She's weak and defenseless,that an average human would think she's pretending,this earned her "weak and pathetic" from the man she used to boast about.
Tiana jelka,stole her life in a single night.
Melanie showcased her 32 white set of teeth,seeing the surprise birthday party she got from her husband and colleagues,as she made a toast,her glass shattered as she stopped in the middle of her speech, watching Ethan kissing Tiana.
This wasn't a birthday party meant for her,it was a celebration to welcome the new mistress and mother of Ethan's children.
3 yrs later
"How dare you carry another man's child Mel?
I love you, you're the one I want"
"Ethan, you are sick,ahh God,my water just broke" Mel was covered in sweat and tears.
"Mel,if you dare give birth to that child,I will kill it" he threatened, meaning every word that had come out of his mouth.
"Ethan,I can't hold on any longer,this is the worst thing you can do to a woman in labor.
