Chapter 37 - Chapter XXXVII

City M. Capital City of Country P

...

Rawlf and his entouraged already arrived at the private airport owned by Sy International based in City M. They were politely welcomed by Sy International City M's department heads.

'Good morning President.' The department heads bowed as Rawlf Sy reached their point. Rawlf nodded his head as a reply and proceeded to a limousine. The department heads boarded after Rawlf and on the way to the International Business Conference venue, each had given brief yet concise summary of the state of the department each personnel leads. These department heads are quite respectable and excel in their own chosen fields that Rawlf himself, despite being powerful, maintained his respect for them. After all, he do believes in Thomas Hobbes theory that man will always aspire to impress and Rawlf understood very well what these distinguished men needed in order for them to perform their very best.... Recognition. Simple as that. He can keep their loyalty in check to prevent unnecessary problem to arise.

He can deal with it right away if ever but if he has the means to prevent it, why not right? After all, prevention is better than cure. This also was Rawlf's secret as to why Sy International had been stable with zero internal conflict through the years of his leadership.

'Good, keep it up ladies and gentlemen. By later tonight after the first opening day of the International Business Conference, I would like to invite all of you for a celebration. Secretary Ryan will arranged the venue and will inform each of your secretaries for the exact time.'

This earned yet another wide smiles from the department heads. Truly their President is worthy of being called His Excellency. His leadership is on point, as always. Although they would also agree with the claim that he is ruthless and cold blooded, but those only applies to individuals who would dare challenge this legendary reputation.

President Rawlf Sy of Sy International is a rational leader who would treat and pay his people with respect if they deserve it but would be another demon incarnate to those who would go against him. Each can only shudder from the fate of those foolishly brave souls from the past.

Their line of thoughts broke when a ringing tone filled the vehicle's atmosphere. They then saw Secretary Ryan whispered something on their President's left ear who was seated in a royal manner. The temperature inside the vehicle dropped to some degrees afterwards. They saw their President type something on his phone and another ring was received by Secretary Ryan. Their President goes silent afterwards but the cold and heavy atmosphere was felt by everyone inside.

Meanwhile back in City I.

...

Veronica was already boarded her private plane back to Country R. She decided not to tell her mother about her twins' yet another hacking fiasco as she would want to personally talk with her twins before anyone else could. Veronica was also thinking about what to explain or tell Rawlf as she had noticed earlier about another car trailing after her. She didn't do anything about it as she hasn't sense danger from it and true to her thoughts, they were Rawlf's men following her.

So far, Rawlf was nothing but caring and gentle to her...., except during sex, and Veronica felt confident that she can get away from it.

Country R.

.....

The twins, Baelfire and Baelfair were already brainstorming as to what could possibly be the next course of their action after seeing Bill from the computer they hacked two days ago. And for sure, their mother was most likely informed. They've been waiting for their grandmother to ask them about it but two days had passed and their gandma just treated them as usual but of course, they won't believe that Bill would just keep his mouth shut.

'We have no best action in mind but to just tell mother about our plan, Fair.' Baelfire said while seriously shaking his head.

Baelfair on the other hand was pouting while puckering her lips. This reminded Baelfire about a duck that he started to chuckle. Fair was confused about it and frowned. 'What?' She asked while both her chubby hands abreast on her chest

'You look like a duck.' Baelfire said with an amused tone but gets serious after being stared sharply by his twins. The girl was very good at her evil scheme and he just don't want to wake up the next day with spiders on his bed..., or worst snakes. This evil twin sister of his is so fond of animals like spiders, scorpions and snakes that although they almost caused Baelfire's heart attack at his age, Baelfair on the other hand was looking at them like a proud mother.

The twins both looked at their room's door after they heard it open and to their conflicted emotion, saw their beautiful mother looking at them with mixed emotion as well.

'Fire.Fair.'

Were the only strict and serious words of Veronica as the twins' little chubby bodies came crashing on their mother.
