Chapter 476 - Employee (6)

"Congratulations, your promotion was approved," my mentor came up to me.

"Thank you, I didn't think I would get that promotion so soon," I tried to stay humble.

"Apparently it's hard for the others to look after the hostages in that room. We're trying to get more information from them, but they refuse to cooperate," she sighed.

"Maybe I can help you during that time," I liked how my pay was increasing.

"Sure, I'll let my superior know," she contacted one of the executives.

After my first day, I was stunned to figure out my mentor was high up in the organization. The only people above her were the executives in the organization. She seemed so normal, complaining about her life even when the work-life balance was better than other places. Hearing from my other colleague, she volunteered to become my mentor since I reminded her of her children.

"You must be Rika," the executive came to greet me in the room I was in charge of.

"It's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you," I shook his hand.

"You'll be helping me with filling out the answers to these questions," he waved his hand to open the screen.

Looking at the simple questions, I grinned. I already knew most of the answers to these questions. Gesturing towards the hostages, I began my presentation, "I can give you the answers right now. I managed to get the information from them on my first day."

"They currently attend First University, being in their first year. It was their mission to sneak in here, given from the school. The main purpose of their mission is to gather as much information about this place as possible. Since all of them are fraction leaders and heirs to their families, each of them will fetch a high ransom," I ended my presentation.

"This is impressive. You can expect another promotion soon," the executive found the question sheet completely filled within a few minutes.

"Thank you very much," I shook his hand before he left the room.

"We understand. She's still young," Ben tried to calm Lucius.

"She didn't give out any of the details about the mission," Claire added.

"It's because she doesn't know about the details," Lucius coldly watched me enjoy another movie.

"Yesss!" I shouted when I got another notification about an approved promotion while watching the movie.

"I'm a manager now," I appreciated having underlings.

"Congratulations on your second promotion," my colleague opened the door.

"It makes me think I have to work harder," I started to think about my bonuses.

"We'll be rearranging more people to your team tomorrow," he came to let me know.

"If you don't mind, can I know your position?" I wondered since his request for my promotion was approved faster than the executive.

"Oh I forgot. I'm the chairman of this organization. Other people just call me boss," he appeared as if he was a normal employee.

I was shocked that I was standing in front of such an important person all this time. Even the hostages were stunned, their jaws almost dropping. Quickly trying to hide my emotions on my face, I pretended I had never heard his confession. The people that I would have to mooch up to had increased. Since I wanted my career to be long here, I should stay humbler like the chairman in front of me.

"I'm thinking of retiring soon. I have enough money in my account to leave this organization. If only if you were older, I could leave my position to you," the chairman joked.

"I think age doesn't matter but how capable the person is," I wanted to be included in his list of potential heirs to this organization.

"Sure, I'll include you," he laughed while leaving the room.

"Rika. I'll forget about everything you did up to today. You have to release us," Lucius looked more desperate once we were left alone.

"The chairman is the most wanted person in all the districts," Ben shuddered.

"It won't be long until he figures out your identity," Claire agreed.

"What identity? An ordinary girl from the third district?" I found the chairman to be a friendly person.

"He has never seen you in the true sunlight," Lucius pointed out the Roselia family feature that I possessed.

"I'm not going to leave this building," I puffed my cheeks.

"Worse case scenario, I'll blow up the entire place," I mumbled.

"What if he chains you so you're unable to use mana like us?" Lucius argued.

"They won't do that. When I first came here, their aim was to drain all my mana out of me," I recalled the moment I was confined into a small room.

"The cameras?" Ben knew what I was talking about.

I nodded my head, "so nothing big is going to happen to me."

"How did you free yourself?" Claire wanted to know the whole story.

���I demanded them to bring me some more pizza and a drink since they only gave me a plate of food. They eventually decided to bring me to the kitchen because I wanted to cook for myself. Now they're at the infirmary since I accidentally made one of the stoves explode," I didn't hold anything against them.

"So none of them know you're another hostage," Lucius tried to confirm with me.

"I'm not a hostage anymore!" I crossed my arms.

"And my kidnappers were way nicer than you," I grumbled.
