In another mansion, Katarina Cang was relinquishing herself from a wine bath in her bathtub.
The aroma of burned lavender scented candle being wafted throughout the four corners of the bathroom adding to her very relaxed state.
This peaceful scene was however disturbed when her phone rang. "Any news?," she answered, knowing who the caller is.
"None." The man on the other line replied. "None?!"
"None." The man resolutely said.
"How come?" Katarina once said frowning.
"That's why I called you. No information means you are up to someone with strong backing. But don't worry, I'll uncover this. Just be careful."
"You too." Katarina said and dropped the call. He is right, no information could only possibly tell something--- that, that person has either a strong backing or is the strong person itself.
An ordinary person's information could easily be tracked and acquired in this modern technological era.
On the other hand, the investigation about Veronica results in nothing. What's more surprising for Katarina is that, there's actually none being discovered despite that it's already him who investigated everything hands on.
Was she really underestimating that woman at all? Katarina Cang is furious with herself. "I should have known." She murmured as she held her phone tightly.
The next morning at Sy International, Rawlf had just walked inside his office when Secretary Ryan knocked and walked inside.
Seeing the President just arrived, he let him settle first. "Speak."
"Madam Ming is creating a scene in the lobby."
"How is security so useless?" Rawlf said coldly. "Actually President…. "
"Tell them to drag her out and no matter what she will do, ignore and don't let her in." "She threatened to strip out naked if you won't talk to her." Secretary said directly.
Rawlf laughs in a mocking tone. "Let her do it then." "But President…."
"What?" Rawlf raised his left brow towards his secretary.
"Well President, she was your father's former woman, if she stripped naked, then your father…"
"So you're worried about him when he himself wasn't even thinking about his reputation and name before getting involved with that shameless woman."
Secretary Ryan knelt on one knee. "Bring her to the conference room."
Secretary Ryan bowed his head lower before standing up to do the President's order.
When the Secretary left his office, Rawlf dialed his phone's number. As soon as the call was answered he said,
"You're woman threatened to be stripped naked when I won't see her. I decided to be civil for the meantime because I'm still considering your old feelings with her. After this talk and if she still won't be grateful for my kindness she does not deserve, don't blame me if you could only look at her grave the next time you come back here."
