It was already around 6pm when Tristan decided to leave, it was rare for him to stay in the office for the whole day since Shin would usually pushed him to meet clients on his behalf. This time that tyrant cousin of him did not bother changing his schedule at all.
On his way out, Tristan find it unusual that theres still a number of employees present so out of curiousity he decided to stop by the receptionist at the entrance.
"ms. Jian do we have newhires?"
Upon seeing Tristan, the said receptionist suddenly blushed but still answered politely, "no Mr. Felan we dont have newhires, but there will be one two weeks from now"
"then what's the occasion today?"
"huh? uh theres no occasion Mr.Felan..." the receptionist said looking confused.
"i see, i just find it unusual why theres still a lot of employees..."'especially women with short skirt, plunging necklines and thick make-up', Tristan wanted to ask but decided not to.
"oh about that-" the receptionist looked around and seems like hesitating to say something.
"dont worry i won't take it against you" Tristan reassured her and flashed his killer smile making the receptionist blush even more.
"actually there's a rumor going around...uhmm, i thought Mr.Felan has somehow heard of it..." the receptionist shyly said, seeing Tristan's unperturbed face she continued..."i actually dont know who started it but they said that someone saw the President with a woman... perhaps his girlfriend?"
Tristan arched an eyebrow but didn't respond, he just winked at her then left.
On his way to the parking lot, some female employees tried to get his attention but his currently deep in thought to notice them. His already expecting that this news would spread sooner considering Shin's status but he isn't expecting it would be like this fast like a wildfire.
Although, he isn't slightly bothered with female employees scheme, it won't be long till those crocodiles and sharks lurking around to start making a move, given that the Keir's wealth is as vast as the ocean.
After sometime, Tristan's phone beep showing a new message.
[ XII cargo has been compromise, moving to Greene Country... L ]
"tsk" Tristan sneered, who has the audacity to go against them? Interesting! it is a pity that a storm surge is brewing instead of blissful days, well at least he had two peaceful days to enjoy.
Poor Tristan.

At a certain family manor
"Dad! have you heard?!" a woman excitedly asked slightly panting from walking in a hurry.
"honey, where is your manners you didn't even knocked?" the old man sounded upset.
"uh- sorry dad, i was just..."
The old man just let out a huge sigh amd signaled his daughter to come closer.
"if you mean about that brat Shin, yes i heard it...but honey, rumors are just rumors you cant rely on them"
"i know but you can confirm it right?
"i thought you didn't like him, your engagement with him has long been revoked" the old man frowned.
" but you know i always like him, were perfect together...if not for that accident...i mean, dad you've seen it right?! who wouldn't cancel the engagement when i saw with my own two eyes how he kicked that woman? but its been years now maybe Shin has change"
The old man got into thinking and eyed his daughter, maybe that brat has finally change its been years anyway...
"ill talk to that old friend of mine then...it has been a while anyway"
"yay!, thank you dad! anyways isn't there a banquet that the Keir family will held sooner? why not take the opportunity to announce our engagement?!" the woman happily said.
"hmm that's a good idea honey, will see"

Silver Manor ~
Situated at the eastern part of Sin City is the most expensive area called Palazzo Archon, although its location is far from the bustling and busy district of Sin City, the cost of owning a property is not just ridiculously expensive but highly political, without connections it's nearly impossible to obtain an ownership even if one has the money.
Silver manor is one of the oldest yet expensive property within Palazzo Archon and where Shin's father - Allister Keir resides. From the time Shin took over the position of CEO, his father barely leaves the Silver Manor.
At present...
"Is this all?" Allister asked the head butler while reading thefile handed to him.
The head butler nodded and politely bowed after Allister signaled him to leave.
"hmmm, Yeri Zhi... didn't know that Klaus Zhi has such gorgeous daughter" Mr.Keir mumbled.
Yesterday one of his person relayed the news about his son showing interest on a woman, at first he finds it impossible and absurd, god knows how many women he tried to introduce to his demonic son for the past years yet those women had suffered mental breakdown till he finally decided to leave the matter on a halt.
With this unforeseen news, how could he just ignore it?!
