Outside the grand hotel. A black racing car is driving in an incredible speed and swiftly stop in the hotel entrance.
Azalea is slowly walking towards it and before she got near, the man climb down from the driver's seat and toss her the key.
"Yo, boss!!!... Rough night?".
"Move!".
The man just smiled and run to the other side of the car. Azalea get into the driver's seat and in one swift move the car flew into the road with a two hundred fifty miles per hour speed. The man inside hold on to his seat. 'The boss is quite angry'. He thought. Minutes later the car stopped in front of a small building. The gate automatically opened. She drove inside till she reached a shelf for a car. They got out from the car and the shelf move upwards then another empty shelf came down.
"Hey Cori, did you finished Mr. Rancid's car he needs it for the next exhibition on friday".
"Done".
"How about the car parts?".
"Delivered".
"Good".
"Hey boss!".
"What?".
"Are you getting married?".
Azalea was surprised by his question. This boy, he always knows what to ask.
Cori Lapel. Her right hand man in her car shop. The boy next door type. She can say he's a genius in the world of cars just by the sound of the car alone he can pinpoint any problems. He is her ace mechanic a one of a kind. He can also execute her designs and also can drive well but not as fast as she can.
"Why do you ask?". She wonders.
"Uncle Long said, the day you will going to attend a banquet will be the day you'll be engaged". He answered honestly.
Long is the older mechanic in her shop she always thought he is a wise man and she respects him. He don't usually speaks to anyone. He is a silent type worker but he's also a keen observer.
There are five more people working in her shop ranging from eighteen years and above.This boys have talents and creativity and all are hardworking. She allowed this talented young boys to work for her after school. Most of them really wants to finish college but can't afford the tuitions and school expenses that's why she hired them to help and to utilize their abilities.
This car shop was just a simple hobby of her. Every time she got bored at home she spends her time designing cars and engines that can actually run at high speed. She was so emerged of the thoughts of fast but safety cars. And also the beauty and design. That's how this shop was built and that is why she call it RE-DO because they re-design the whole car according to the clients taste and likes and most of them put it in exhibit. But some, like her, loves to try it on the race track.
Azalea is a car racer but not professionally. Though it creates money it also gives her a chance to test her designed engines.
The engines that she designs are carefully executed by Cori. She met her almost four years ago she was nineteen then and he was seventeen. He works on a car shop too, as a helper. When her car broke down he just listen to it then fix it instantly, his boss was furious because of this. He said her car should stay longer in that repair shop so they can squeeze out a big pay for it. But he is an honest person and don't like hustling, he prepares to earn money in the right way. That's why she poached him. She hired him even though the car business was still a draft. But he needs to finish school too.
And it was settled.
After sometime they started a small shop but only fixing the cars she bought, testing it and selling it out. But because she have a community in the world of net because of her other businesses people find out about her hobby turning business. And the rest were history.
"It seems like the engagement didn't work as planned?"
"His plan work but the engagement." she pause gritting her teeth. "I want to dissolve it." She's still in rage. If her hunches were right, she's doomed.
Cori's at lost, he can't seems to understand his boss situation. "Are your family forcing you to get married?"
"Nope."
"Then Who?"
"The people in my past."
"Ah." and he just nod his head repeatedly.
Cori knows his boss past life, she was an open book to them. She keeps on telling them that even though she is a daughter of a rich businessman it doesn't mean the money on her pocket flows like a river. Everything should be earned and we should always be grateful to the things that our parents or love ones gave us. We should appreciate the effort and the hardship they do before they earn their money, just to give it to us.
Because of her outlook in life everyone in the shop have a great respect for her.
Basically, Azalea didn't went home. She needs to do some research and her building has the finest equipment for that.
She already bought this five floored building in an auction before she reached her twentieth birthday though her father didn't know it, but Carlton does. She pulled out a lot of her resources for this and also use some of her connections to easily acquired and renovate this place.
The lower part of this building is her car shop. The next floor is for the car show. The third is for car parts and stocks. The fourth is computer room. And the fifth floor is her so called Bachelorette pad. The building is not really big that's why every floor is not really spacious but just enough.
"Cori make sure to close everything tightly. I need to go up."
"Yes boss." he even salute at her.
"How's the twins." she ask before she board their small elevator.
"At the COM. ROOM warming up." and he smiled warmly.
"Sorry about this." she said apologetically.
"It's nothing, besides this will going to be fun, I think." and he smiled so wide his eyes becomes a line.
The twins that she was talking about is also her employees. Tan and Nat, they are a natural born hackers. She discovered them in a computer shop. They were just sixteen by then after three years of working with her they surely proved themselves to her.
As soon as she set foot on the fourth floor she walked straight to a cabinet door and pressed her hand on the mirror and a green beam of light scanned her hand then suddenly a clicked can be heard. Another door is blocking her way and she just stand still until a green light scanned her whole and the door opened.
"Did you get it?" she ask them as soon as she gets in.
"Boss, this assignment of yours is tough." the boy with a red hair replied to her.
"What's with this guy anyway?" a white haired boy who look like a ghost because of his super pale skin asking her curiously.
"He wants me to be his granddaughter." she answered them lazily.
"WHAT!!!..." the twins were stunned.
