Leo had not even brought Lily to his office yet, when the girls from the sales and marketing team flocked around and gifted her with candies. Lily was shocked and then she inched closer to Leo before looking at him in askance.
The young man smiled and nodded. Lily began to accept the candies and her inherited skills ca into play, to every girl she would say, "Thank you, pretty sister."
The endearing term of Pretty Sister, was sothing very well received and they all rained her with complints. After a few minutes, he said, "Ladies, if you would, I have to show her all the other places as well."
The tide of beauty receded and Leo then took Lily around while telling her the various things the people did in different departnts. At the sa ti, he guided her on how to take notes. Although she was slow, she did not miss out on anything that Leo taught her.
Then after a brief tour of the testing center in the office, Leo led her to the Research & Developnt departnt. The people here were all nerds and they spent most of their ti in front of the computer, and their fingers created chaotic music.
Lily looked at the rows of people, and holding the pencil in her hands she began to count, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine…"
She counted up to twenty and asked, "Baba, what are these uncles and aunts doing?"
Leo smiled and replied, "When we create sothing new, we have to test a lot of things, these uncles and aunties are testing those new things."
Lily was surprised and asked, "Why is it necessary to test? On the floor before this, they were throwing that silver thing around, and drowning it and putting it in machines. You said that was testing as well."
Leo chuckled and said, "I will tell you, co."
He was leading her to his office, when the sound of high heels caused him to turn around and look at the source. The person approached quickly and said, "Good Morning, President Leo."
Leo sighed and replied, "Good morning to you as well, CEO Hibiscal."
Lily recognized Percie and said, "Good morning, Aunty Percie."
Percie smiled and greeted her back before taking out an orange candy from her pocket. She then looked at Leo and said, "I understand that you don't wish to interfere too much in the operations, but this company is still yours. The employees here would agree with when I say that you have made a significant impact in our lives. The wages we all earn are the highest in the market.
We have enough rewards, you have given us all the taste of what it feels like to work in a healthy environnt. We can finally finish on ti and go back ho to our families. This is all thanks to you, since you have done so much for us, it is only decent for us to reciprocate the gesture. My office is yours."
Leo wanted to refuse when Percie said, "All the things that you used as a decoration have been placed in my office. I will be sitting here from now on."
The young man thought for a bit and sighed as he replied, "Fine, you all boss around."
Lily pouted and said, "Baba, are they bullying you?"
Leo chuckled and picked up his little darling in his arms and Percie said, "Sweetie, your Baba is the big boss here, how dare we bully him."
Lily was surprised, but then she nodded, and said, "Baba, I want to see your office."
Leo nodded and then after introducing her with Rama Kashyap the young man went upstairs to the top floor. The entire office had been redecorated in a hurry, and only the table decoration had been swapped along with the computer system.
The rest of the office seed very monotonous, and Lily frowned as she asked, "Baba, why is this place so gloomy."
Leo was surprised and asked, "Then what do you suggest we do to make it bright?"
Lily thought for a bit and said, "Can I do it for you?"
Leo nodded and then asked, "What do you need? Baba will get it for you."
Lily shook her head and said, "I will have Auntie Percie help , you co and see the place in the evening."
Leo was surprised when the system notified, 'Ping: Host, your daughter intends to decorate your office for you, allow her a free hand. This is a gesture of care from your daughter, and only when you allow her to be herself will she learn to be a better person. Reward: Fifty percent stake in Utopia Research Center.'
Leo smiled and pecked Lily on the cheek and said, "Good baby, you can ask Auntie Percie for help, and stay with her. However, make sure that you eat well at noon."
Leo nodded and suddenly saluted him. Leo called for Percie and then asked Jock to select two of the best and the most trustful guards from the office security to guard Lily. Jock was quick to arrange the details and as he did this, he reminded Leo, "Sir, we have a eting arranged with Simon Silence."
Leo narrowed his gaze and agreed to the young man before he looked at Percie and said calmly, "I will leave Lily in your care, I will be back as soon as possible, don't let her out of your sight, and get her whatever she wants."
Percie nodded and said, "Don't worry, President, my words earlier were not empty claims."
Leo nodded and then left the office with Jock, but his heart wasn't settled. He called Snow from outside his office, and said, "Can you co over to see Lily? I have to et soone and it isn't safe for her."
Snow replied in affirmative and said that she was leaving right away. She didn't have any classes today, and the result had been distributed already so the students took a day off as well. Leo inford Percie about Snow's status and the forr agreed to wait for her.
…
Leo and Jock were in a car going around the city, it took them half an hour to reach the designated place of eting, and Leo received a text from Snow that she had reached the office as well.
The young man let out a sigh of relief and then he looked at Jock, as he asked, "Did you scout the place?"
Jock nodded and replied, "It's clean, our n are inside."
Leo got out of the car and put on a mask. Jock followed and entered the place called, "Harmony Teahouse."
The young man remarked, "Quite ironic, don't you think?"
Jock smiled and then they walked inside. Inside the entire teahouse only one person was sitting with his gaze fixed at a glass of ice tea. Leo walked over, and the young man raised his gaze to look at the newcor.
Leo confidently sat down across the young man and asked, "Simon Silence?"
His voice was a bit muffled because of the mask. Simon Silence nodded faintly and asked, "What's with the mask?"
Leo replied, "Just an aversion to show you my face."
Simon Silence frowned for a mont and asked, "May I ask why have you called here?"
Leo replied calmly, "Simply because I wanted to see who has the guts to walk inside my company and damage my place."
Simon stretched his hand on the table and leaned forward as he cockily asked, "What do you intend to do?"
Leo smiled, and as if he had practiced for a million tis, he picked up a button knife from the spoon stand and then holding it in reverse he stabbed it between Simon Silence's fingers.
Simon was shocked, and so was Jock, he was ready to take a step ahead when Leo took back the knife and said, "Mister Silence, just now, I didn't miss. What you did was business, and what I did was vengeance. If you are trying to start a war, then I assure you, all your n and then you would be put six feet under very quickly.
I don't wish to spill blood, so simply speaking, I called you here to give you a chance. I wonder if you would like to hear about it."
The confidence and composure displayed by Leo caused Simon to feel uneasy. He had always thought he was calm and cruel but this man, who dared to attack at the slightest provocation and exploited the slightest error made by the opponent, this man gave him a scare. Simon didn't show it but his back was covered in cold sweat.
He said, "I am listening."
Leo nodded and said, "From now on, start a security company, I will give you the funds to register the company, your n are strong but they are unruly, if you wish to live well, then do well."
Simon and Jock were surprised, they did not understand what Leo intended to do here. However, after a brief mont of silence, Simon nodded, and Leo said, "We will contact you after a week, I hope you have an answer ready."
That said he stood up and quickly left the teahouse with Jock in tow. The two n didn't understand what he ant just now.
