The next day, Hou Liang quit his office job. A couple of his friends also quit their jobs to join him. They all worked at the same company. Surprisingly, one of his friends was Wu Chen (a.k.a. iEatSlippers) who was an accountant.

Hou Liang and Wu Chen worked at the same company but in different departments. Hou Liang worked at the IT department; Wu Chen at the Finance Department.

When Hou Liang announced to his friends that he would quit his job to form his own gaming company with the help of a business partner, Wu Chen was the first one to follow him without asking any question. His other friend who was a programmer asked a few questions before following them. His other friends were hesitant to quit their jobs. However, they said that they would join him after he actually formed his company.

Hou Liang didn't tell Wu Chen yet that Iris would be his new business partner. So Wu Chen had no idea that his new future boss would be Boss Iris.

Iris advised Hou Liang to stay put for now. She said that she still needed a few days to consult with her business mentor and financial manager.

In the meantime, Hou Liang and his programmer friend chose one of their most ambitious video game ideas to work on. The current sample they had was horrible and extremely skeletal because they didn't have the resources or the manpower to even create a decent sample. With just the two of them, they couldn't do much but they were determined to improve on their initial concept.

While the two were busy, Wu Chen logged online as iEatSlippers and once again led the Slippers Army to defend their Boss Iris' name against the haters.

Iris just finished a magazine photo shoot and interview. Tang Yiyi, Dom and Jiang Ying Yue accompanied her. It went well and they were on their way to another interview, but this time on a music program at a cable TV channel.

Inside the executive van, Iris was busy completing translation exercises given by her two instructors.

Ring! Ring!

Tang Yiyi answered her phone.

Iris was very absorbed in what she was doing that Tang Yiyi's phone conversation and Dom's constant chatter failed to penetrate her concentration. It was only when she felt someone shaking her shoulder that she forced herself out of this flow state.

"Hm?"

"Sorry to bother you, Iris," Tang Yiyi said. "But I have something important to tell you."

"What is it?"

"The film producer just called me. He wanted you to know that they're finally releasing the trailer soon. Of course, the new version of 'Phantom of Your Love' will also be featured since it's the theme song. It seems that JJ has already been informed. His record label will release a sample audio of the song and promote it around the same time the trailer is released."

"I see. That's great to hear," Iris said before returning to her translation exercises. She instantly became immersed once again.

Tang Yiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's it?" she asked. She was so excited yet Iris acted like it was a very normal occurrence, even looking somewhat disinterested.

"Ehehe. That's just how boss is," Dom said.

Tang Yiyi had no choice but to share her happiness with Dom instead. She wanted to suggest that they go somewhere for dinner tonight to celebrate, but it seemed that Iris was very busy. When the film released, she would drag Iris for sure to celebrate whether she liked it or not.

Jin Corporation

As the true owner of LX Productions, of course Jin Liwei was informed of the news about the film trailer's upcoming release. He had first priority to see everything about the film. He already saw several versions of the trailer.

He wasn't a film expert, so he left the final decision to the person he appointed to run LX Productions. However, he had one request. It was about the font size of the credits showing "Original Music by Iris Long".

"It's too small. Make it bigger!" he ordered. "I can barely read her name."

"But President, they've already given Miss Long's name its own frame in the trailer…"

Jin Liwei frowned. "The font is still too small. Make it big enough that it fills the entire screen."

"Uh…understood, President."

In the end, they only increased the font size a little. Jin Liwei was unhappy but Xu Tian assured him that it was a great trailer and that Iris' name was the most noticeable one among the credits.

The production team was still polishing the trailer until they officially release it.

Jin Liwei wondered if his baby girl already knew about it. He looked at his wristwatch. She should be on the road by now for her next interview. He knew her schedule because Dom always gave it to him. He decided to give her call.

"Hello?" His baby girl's lovely voice answered, sounding distracted.

Ah, she must be studying again. As a good boyfriend, he should leave her alone for now and allow her to focus on her studies. However, he wanted to talk to her. She was still asleep when he left for work this morning. He was already missing her.

"Hi baby," he greeted. 

He asked if she knew about the film trailer yet. She told him that Tang Yiyi just informed her.

"Congratulations on completing the film score. I'm so proud of you, baby."

"Thank you."

He knew that she was smiling which made him smile as well. Then he changed the subject.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?"

"Yes. I'm ready to meet your grandmother and mother. Do you think they'll like me?"

"Baby, don't worry too much. Just be yourself. I'm sure they'll see how amazing you are."

She giggled. "Okay." There was some noise on her end of the line. "Oh, we've arrived. I need to go."

"Alright. Take care, baby. See you later at home."

"You too, Liwei. See you later."

"I love you."

"I like you very much."

His eyebrows rose and his whole expression became happy. Even when the call ended, he continued to grin like an idiot. Before, she would just stay silent or say "thank you" whenever he said "I love you". But now she replied. Granted, it wasn't "I love you, too" but it was already a great progress.

When Xu Tian entered his office to submit some reports, he immediately became concerned.

"P-president? Are you alright?"

He chuckled. Yes, the President "chuckled"! Xu Tian would never describe his boss' weird laugh as a "giggle"! Never! This was a "chuckle", not a "giggle"!

"She said she likes me very much," Jin Liwei told him, continuing to gigg—chuckle.

"Uh…congratulations, President…"

"Xu Tian, you're a great and loyal assistant. I'll give you a raise and a bonus this month!"

Xu Tian immediately bowed. "Thank you very much, President! I always pray that Miss Long's feelings for you deepen every single day!"

"Good man! I'll give you another bonus next month!"

Sky and Anton went to see Me Charlie in Palmera hotel. 

They waited at the lobby for him to come down. "Let's go to the restaurant Anton, i'm starving. How long does it take a man to get down from his hotel roo? He is acting like a sissy." Sky said irritated.

"Alright I'll send him a text. let's go feed my favourite ladies."Anton said as he helped her up.

"Hey. Kira is among your favourite ladies now infact she's number one. I'm sure you guys made up right?" Sky asked as they picked a table at the restaurant.

Anton knew he wouldn't be able to avoid the question anymore so he told her the truth. "Yeah Sky. I took your advise, we made up. I took her to skyscraper restaurant and then we went clubbing. We had a fun night but it's not what you are thinking. We didn't have sex."

"Wow...that's good. You are perverted Anton, I wasn't thinking of such." Sky said smiling. She picked the menu and placed her order.

"Sky. Sweetpea is my number one favourite girl, no one can take her place so don't say that again.  We have this bond, you wont understand." Anton said smiling."

"Yeah? But please don't say that in Kira's presence. I don't want my daughter to have a competitor this early." Sky said laughing.

"You look exhausted Sky. I hope our meeting with Charlie will be a short one?" Anton asked with a worried look on his face.

"I'm just tired. Tired of smiling into the camera . Do Reporters ever get tired? I mean they took pictures of me and Dwayne in the morning and even at the airport. For Pete sake it's the same outfit." 

"I understand what you are trying to say but they don't. They are like that when they need something which is most of the time." Anton said laughing.

"Hi kids." Charlie said as he sat down with Anton and Sky. "It's been a while."

Sky looked at the man who doesn't look older than thirty five and he's in his early fifties. 


"Hello Barrister Charles. It took you a while to get down here, did you forget our dear Sky is pregnant?" Anton said in a not too friendly tone.

"You are always the same Anton, so you still nag.  Sky shouldn't be working, a pregnant woman needs her rest. Why are you as stubborn as Jay. Now I know why he chose you. Anyway sorry I'm late. But you both know how selfish I can be, and how much I love myself. I took my time getting here cause I'm suppose to be resting but this little mommy over here wanted the meeting now. Instead of tomorrow."

"I want the result out by tomorrow, I'm tired of guessing Mr Charlie and like you said...I need my rest." Sky said smiling as the waiter dropped her food on the table.

"What test are you talking about little one?" Charlie asked as he helped himself with the red wine in front of Anton.

"I figured but out Mr Charlie. Please tell me I'm on the right track. Remember the young man I told you about? I have his DNA sample."  Sky said with her mouth full.

"Hahahahaha" Charlie's rich laughter filled the air. "You are too smart for your own good, Sky  Anyway you are right. We do have biological sample of Mr Jayden. He said if he dies ..we could take sample. So love I'll have to visit the coroner's office. We kept it there so no one will suspect." 
Surprised Anton looked from Charlie to Sky, who didn't look that surprise.

"I knew it." Sky said smiling. She handed him two paper envelopes.

"Why do you have two envelopes Sky? Anton asked confused.

"Patience handsome. I can't tell you until I'm sure. But you know I can't keep my mouth shut for too long. Trust me, you'll understand soon."

"Alright kids enjoy your dinner. Goodnight." Charlie said, as he stood up to leave.

"Thanks for seeing me Barrister Charlie. I'll be waiting for your call. Do have a goodnight rest sir." Sky said to the man before he walked away.

"You are enjoying this Sky. Stop playing detective and tell me why you have two envelopes." Anton collected her spoon and took a bite from her plate."

"Hey calm down. I learnt it from you. We just have a few hours to tomorrow. But if you are so curious, I can tell you about the owner of the sample in the second envelope now.  It's mine."

"Anton coughed. Sky I'd rather you not tell me than you messing with me. What do you mean yours? You are the female version of your dad and you have your mom's lips so shut up!" Anton shook his head as he watched the lady in front of him.

He decided to change the topic. "Sky? Dwayne told me about your dream. You have too many bad dreams these days, are you sure you are alright?"

"Mom said it's normal, that once a pregnant woman draws near to her delivery date, she gets scared of childbirth. Especially if it's her first time. I just have to stop worrying but Anton, I am scared. I can't stop thinking of my DOD."

Anton stretched his hand and took her right hand in his. "Hey love. I'm here ok? and so is your family and Dwayne too, Chiamanda also, Bones, Stones. I could go on. You are going to be just fine. Besides God's got you, you are going to deliver like the Hebrew women in the Bible. " He squeezed her hand to reassure her.


"Thanks Anton. I can't believe you know about the Hebrew woman. But can we switch places so you'd help me push during labour?" Sky asked smiling.

"Nice try but no ma'am. I love being a man."


The next day, Sky didn't go to work. She waited for Barrister Charlie's call all through the morning but nothing. She was almost giving up when he called her and told her that he was at her estate gate. 

"Calm down Sky. Stop pacing, the result is already out...it won't change. If he's Mr Jay's son, we have no choice but to accept him. I'm nervous too.


After his meeting with Mrs Rose yesterday, Aidenn came straight home and stayed indoors all day. He texted Adrianna and told her he wanted to be alone. He did some soul searching so he decided to go find out the truth. He went jogging early this morning to clear his head but nothing. If anything, he was worse.
He went in search of his mother's parting gift and opened the old letter. He didn't want to read it alone so he went to Adrianna's place. He's gotten so close to her. She was so easy to talk too and he's always comfortable around her.

Jenna saw the look on Aidenn's face as she opened the door. She has never seen him this serious before. She quickly took his hand and led him to the sofa.

"Aidenn are you alright?" 

"I don't know Addy. This is my mom's dying letter to me. I don't want to read it alone. This will tell me if Mr Jayden is my father or not."

"Are you sure you want me here Aidenn? I could go stay in my room while you read it." Jenna stood up to leave but he caught her hand and pulled her down.

"Please stay. Don't go" Aidenn said as he straightened the paper and started reading.

Jenna wanted badly to see what's in the letter and at the same time, she wanted to console him....she wanted him to be ok no matter what the letter said. She tried not to look at the letter but the image of Mena's angry face appeared in front of her. So she shook her head to clear her thought, and read the letter with Aidenn. 

She gasped as she read the second paragraph. "Oh no" Jenna thought to herself not knowing she said the words out.

Aidenn looked at her and smiled as a tear fell down his face.

A feisty lady, lost in her past, fighting for a better future. Guided by an angel. Sky is just a normal girl searching for love, money and security. She had a rough start which made her give up on love. Will Sky ever believe in love again?

"Are you happy about your sudden promotion, salary raise and all the bonus, do you think you deserve it?" Dwayne stared at his boss not knowing what to say, having worked in the company for three years he has never met the infamous boss and suddenly a promotion brought him to her office...what is it she wants??

A casanova who will do anything for money. An arrogant billionaire who dreads marriage....who will she chose? Join Sky as she help unravel the mystery in Mr Jayden's life, Jaydite and as she try to balance her personal life with her career.

President Song talked about the new product order received by S Group during the meeting.
"I've already talked about this with President Gun-Ho Goo. We made a contract with S Group, and their three factories in Suwon City, Changweon City, Ulsan City placed five product orders from us. This contract will increase our monthly sales revenue by 1 billion won, but they will increase the volume of their orders as we prove that our products are of high quality."
Gun-Ho asked the internal auditor,
"If we include this new contract in our total sales revenue, how much will it be?"
"When you acquired Mulpasaneop, the annual sales revenue was 70 billion won, and it increased to 84 billion won as we developed our new product—AM083. If we add the new product order which President Song brought in, our total sales revenue will be about 96 billion won."
Dyeon Korea's Director Dong-Chan Kim chipped in.
"The new order from S Group requires us to develop new products. As our new chief officer at the research center is well aware, developing a new product is not an easy task at all. It will cost us multiple attempts until we finally develop a new product. To be honest, AM083 was not technically developed by us, but it was developed by the Japanese engineer—Mr. Sakata Ikuzo—at our research center for us."
After Director Kim's reality check, everyone in the room lowered their heads and stared at their notebook without saying a word.
Director Kim continued to talk. He could be very convincing when he talked as he was when he convinced the potential buyers to sell the products.
"Also, we are currently relying heavily on S Group for our sales. We will have to diversify our customer companies. Focusing on one customer company could lead our company to being dependent on one customer, which could be dangerous in the long-term. I am not saying we should stop receiving product orders from S Group. I just want to emphasize the gravity of being self-sufficient without becoming dependent on one specific buyer company."
Min-Hyeok Kim, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, was envious of Director Dong-Chan Kim's communication skills.
'He is indeed a great salesperson with a very convincing sales pitch. Even his voice is really good and his voice is very smooth and comfortable to listen to, not to mention it is very persuading. I will have to learn from him if I want to seriously increase the sales revenue for the company in China.'
 
"Please allow me to add to it."
Everyone at the table turned their heads to see the person who just chipped in. It was the new chief officer at the research center. He received his Ph.D. from the Technical University of Munich in Germany, and he used to work at H Auto's research center in Korea.
"As to the two products out of five that S Group wants to buy from us, our researchers already started producing a sample product. If we succeed in making the mold for those products, we will be able to manufacture the products in no time. However, in developing and making some experiments in the process for the other three products, we need more workers at our research center. So, we are in the process of hiring five new researchers. The first interview is completed and we have 30 candidates to interview for the second time. We will select the best five from them."
 
Director Kim chipped in.
"The two researchers who just came back from training in the U.S. need to be relocated to Dyeon Korea."
The research center's chief officer seemed to be upset when he heard that he might lose his two researchers.
"We can't lose those two researchers. As I just mentioned, we are seriously in need of more researchers. They should stay with GH Mobile."
Director Kim didn't back off. He blushed and said,
"If they would stay in GH Mobile, then why were they sent to the U.S. for the training by Lymondell Dyeon in the first place?"
"Excuse me? Are you seriously asking that?"
Min-Hyeok was amazed at the passion of the executives in the meeting, and the heat they created in debating.
"Wow. They are truly enthusiastic about their work."
Director Jong-Suk Park was quiet. He couldn't chip in with his short work experience in the management field.
Gun-Ho finally intervened.
"Okay. That's enough. Listen all. I understand why some of you had to raise your voice. I know you are worried about our company, and I appreciate that. You said we have 30 candidates who passed the first interview. Why don't you select seven workers instead of five out of 30 during the second interview? It would be better to have enough workers at this phase of our company."
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, sir."
Director Kim and the research center's chief officer stopped debating once Gun-Ho gave a final word to the issue.
 
Gun-Ho then looked at Min-Hyeok.
"President Min-Hyeok Kim, it has been a while since we had you here last time in our meeting. Do you have anything to add?"
"Umm…"
Min-Hyeok seemed to be baffled when he was asked unexpectedly, and Gun-Ho smiled.
"Take your time."
"Well, the sales revenue of GH Parts Company in China has increased somewhat; however, there is no dramatic change yet. S Group currently has four factories in China: Beijing, Chongjin, Cheongdo and Suzhou City. I would really appreciate it if President Song, who used to work for S Group, could visit us in China and visit those factories with me."
"Sure thing. Once things settle here, I will go and join you in China for the tour."
Gun-Ho then turned his attention to the other directors.
"Mr. Director Yoon of construction and Mr. Director Choi from the general affairs department, do you have anything to add?"
"Nothing, sir."
"What about Director Park from the production department?"
"I have nothing to add, sir."
"I do."
The new co-president—President Song—raised his hand.
"Once we produce a sample product and once the product is approved, the buyer company will send their inspectors to our company to check our manufacturing environment. I know Director Park will handle the situation very well, but we need to keep in mind that the factory has to maintain a clean environment including machines and equipment. We need to give the inspectors a good impression. I am requesting to start My Machine."
"Huh? My Machine?"
"Yes. It is a program where we assign one machine to each worker at the production site, so each worker can take good care of the machine he was assigned to. That way, we can make sure all the machines in our factory are always well taken care of and in a clean condition."
Director Kim chipped in.
"I support the suggestion. I do believe it is necessary that we start the My Machine program in our factory. Mr. Director Jong-Suk Park, why don't you ask the managers in the production department to implement the program during your next meeting within the production department?"
"Okay. I will do that."
"Okay. I guess that's all for today. If anyone of you wants to add anything, it's time to do so. Otherwise, we will end the meeting now. Thank you all for your good work."
Once Gun-Ho said the final word, everyone in the room stood up to get ready to leave the room.
 
Min-Hyeok Kim followed Gun-Ho to the president's office.
"Have a seat. Let's have some coffee."

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

Ador got an interview call letter in August end.   She was very excited. Her interview was scheduled in 18th September,  n if all goes well,  she would join as Manager,  Sales and Marketing. 

The call letter came  from a far off metro city.  She took permission from her parents and after getting their blessings embarked on her journey down south,  alone. 

She felt too excited and could not sleep the entire night of train journey.  She was supposed to stay at her maternal grandparents home during this time,  until her parents joined her in the winters.  Didun, her granny waited for her patiently knowing that,  since it was the first time for Ador to come alone, Ador would be late,  enjoying the hustle bustle of  city life  in comparison to her district town,  Darjeeling.
Her Uncle was an income tax officer  in Kolkata,  who brought in a lot of sweets,  as a welcoming treat for his niece. Soon Didun,  Uncle Tukul and Aunt Ya were having lunch together.  Post lunch,  Tukul saw the call letter for the interview  and said he would drop Ador , near the venue. 

All were waiting excitedly for dawn.

As one grows up,  in the Indian subcontinent,  marriages are arranged. 
This story revolves around a boy,  who was immature enough to get married,  shoved into the rat race of work and earning money and before he could realise his goals in life clearly,  he was put into an arranged marriage. 
As years go by,  he though bodily matured,  but emotionally still a boy gets involved into alcoholism,  smoking,  women,  gambling.  He took his arranged marriage as part of life's  adjustments. 
I  don't love you anymore is contradictory as he falls in love with his wife past 25 years of marriage,  whereby he realises,  friends who seemed friends actually,  were enemies in disguise.He goes for rehabilitation,  due to alcoholic tendencies but does not recover.  He does not succeed in business world and feels all these bad things that are happening to him is because of his wife.   She is the greatest bad luck in his life is what he feels. He never loved his wife,  from the first day of marriage,  took her just for sexual needs,  made her his 24*7 secretary,  beat her to pulp due to alcoholism and frustration.
But she never left his side. As years go by,  he sees his wife as the only strongest pillar of his life. So when at the age of 60, he thinks of telling her his true feelings for her,  his wife says that she has moved on in life.  Now that her children are grown up,  she is tired of his bickering and fights.  She confessed,  I don't love u anymore and goes to enrol in an old age home,  to live a life  without any pain and emotional struggle.

Even when you look at the book cover of two ducklings, here in this book, looking at opposite directions, this also has a lot of significance,  as per the storyline.  Both are in the same pail,  as in marriage,  at a young age, tied to the family, but both looking in opposite ways.  One into family bond,  taking care of in law's,  children,  daily grocery shopping,  cooking and doing all household chores.  The other has his life outward bound,  partying around,  drinks and friends, women,  gambling, earning money and travelling distant lands,  passports filled with visas of countries around the world, no strings attached to the family. 
As years fly by and things don't change in the scenario,  the wife at old age walks out of marriage, to lead a life as per her choice, at 62 years,  the man has now stabled up and looks forward to live his old age along with his wife,  but here is the cliche,  she simply walks out without looking behind to a life where she relentlessly always gave without any returns or favours asked. She walks towards an unknown voyage at old age where nobody expects anything from her and she does not expect anything from anyone, a house she would learn to call her home,  an old age home.....

This is my first attempt in weaving a story.  I would appreciate for a genuine feedback from my supporters in the form of comments,  votes and spirit stones.  
I was unwell for the past month and a half , so the speed has lessened,  but I will not fail in weaving my thoughtsand pen them down at the earliest.  Your genuine feedback will help spark my imagination.

Outside the window, Kate could see the sun rising. She hadn't slept the entire night and had asked Emily to keep her company. At that time the police officer came to ask her some questions.
The rising sun looked beautiful, but to Kate everything still looked too dark. She had no idea what was going to happen. But since she had already chosen the road she wanted to take, she decided not to waver. 
"Miss Kate, for now I have only one last question..." the police officer broke the silence
Kate turned her head and looked back at the police officer in a questioning manner.
"Why don't you live with your mother? I mean is there something wrong between you and her?"
Kate's eyes turned cold. She glared a bit at the police officer, sending shivers down his back.
"I don't think that is anything related to Susie's case. I hope the police focuses on the case instead of stupid things" then Kate immediately turned her head again, and started looking out of the window. She didn't give the police officer another chance to question her. The police officer sighed and left her alone. After a while, Emily came back in and Kate went back to her usual mood.
While Kate was admitted in the hospital, Ashton on the other side was admitted at his own house, that means, he was put on house arrest by the police. He couldn't leave the house even if he wanted to, forget leaving the country. Even his phone was taken away from him. This made him very frustrated. Thankfully he had already removed all the data from his phone and informed about it to Mr.Rodrigues as well. The police had also taken his blood sample, and he had no clue what it was for. 

A few days passed just like this. Kate recovering and answering questions asked by the police, Ashton on house arrest and the police busy with there investigation. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The results were out. The graphologist confirmed that it was Susie's handwriting itself. Also, he said that the person was under immense stress while writing it and probably emotionally unstable.

This meant that Susie had written the letter and what she wrote in the letter was probably true. The same day, Susie's hospital test results were out as well. And it stated - 'The deceased was 2 weeks pregnant till the time of death.'

That meant Susie's letter was totally true. She indeed was pregnant. But the last step was to confirm who was the father of the unborn child.

The police didn't have to wait too long for it as well.

'The DNA of the deceased and the sample match by 99.99% stating them of the relation father-son'

Kate Brooke, now 21, having an IQ Of 165 and the youngest woman to be the CEO in her country. 

She didn't reach here just by riding some wave of good luck. She worked for it, took the ruthlessness of the world, suffered all the back stabbings that her loved ones gave her.

Hence came her name 'The ruthless Queen'

When she was 17 and still in her high school, something happened that changed her life forever and made her what she was now. She used to be one of those happy go lucky girls. But not anymore.

She used to think of herself as a normal girl, but little did she know, that the conversation she overheard of her mother with someone on the phone, would make her life anything but normal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

He wanted to be her prince, her knight in shining armour, that is, if she ever gave him the chance to be one.

She was best in every aspect, brains, beauty and of course business. But it didn't bother him. For her, he wouldn't mind leaving his company and be a house husband. 

If he could, he would let her earn and he would cook for her, clean for her (and her), and if possible also bear her babies.

But at the same time he wanted to destroy everyone who once hurt her. 

He wouldn't let them live in peace. 

If they thought they could trouble his queen just like that, then they were mistaken! 

This subordinate was his queen's slave. He would slaughter the entire world just for her entertainment!

[Ying'er, I have a surprise for you. Please go to the hot spring next to our inn. I'll be waiting for you in the sand bath area. You have to come. -Long Ao Zhen]
"Ao Zhen asked me to go the hot spring next door? But he just ordered me to never leave my room no matter what happened, ah!" Li Shi Ying head spin around after she read the letter. The handwriting was really Long Ao Zhen's handwriting, so she didn't doubt it at all.
"Maybe it's a trap…" Mian Xiang grabbed the letter and checked it again, but she too found that the letter was genuine.
"Maybe? But the handwriting is exactly the same. No one can truly copy someone else's handwriting to this extent, right?" Li Shi Ying shrugged her shoulder as she waited for Mian Xiang opinion. 
This letter looks suspicious, but the handwriting was that of Long Ao Zhen...what if he told her not to get out because he was preparing for this surprise? He said in the letter that they should meet at the sand bathing area, don't tell her…
"Princess, please give me one of Long Ao Zhen's handwriting sample I want to compare it to make sure this isn't fake," Mian Xiang had the same thought as Li Shi Ying, but the woman was extra cautious. She wanted to double-check the letter.
"Sure. Here," Hearing this, Li Shi Ying hurriedly took out one of Long Ao Zhen's handwriting sample she had and give it to Mian Xiang.
The woman then began to compare the handwriting in the letter with Long Ao Zhen's handwriting that Li Shi Ying lent to her. 
Mian Xiang stared at the handwriting of both papers and didn't find anything wrong with one of them. The two papers had the same handwriting! Could it be her feeling was wrong? 
"How is it?" Li Shi Ying slowly asked Mian Xiang after the woman finished inspecting the letter. Mian Xiang returned the paper Li Shi Ying lent to her with a sigh.
"The handwriting is exactly the same, and just now, I was spying on your highness. He indeed left from his room a few minutes before the letter came." Mian Xiang decided to tell Li Shi Ying that she spied on Long Ao Zhen. The timing of when Long Ao Zhen left from his room and the arrival of the letter was right on time.
It was as if Long Ao Zhen, himself, was really the one giving the letter in secret. A pity she couldn't see Long Ao Zhen's movement very clearly, since its dark at the corridor, but if the timing was right...then it could be Long Ao Zhen himself who sent the letter. 
"Really? Then this must be real. Let's go out now!" Li Shi Ying trusted Mian Xiang's opinion. The girl's eyes brightened upon hearing this and she quickly wore decent clothes to go outside. Of course, she didn't forget to bring Mian Xiang with her.
"Yeah good for you," Mian Xiang smiled hoping that Long Ao Zhen was really preparing a surprise, despite her feeling that it was still as bad as before. She could only hope that nothing bad would happen to her princess. 
Hot spring.
"Oh, you are here," Chi Tian waved her hand when she saw Long Ao Zhen walk to the sand bath area. She thought the man would suddenly cancel the deal, but he still ended up coming.
"Yeah, let's get this done with. Swear first that you will not go back on your word. You will give me the cactus once we go to the bathtub together," Long Ao Zhen spoke in a very cold voice. He was extremely disgusted with this girl, yet he had to bow his head in front of her because he needed the cactus. 
Once he got the cactus, he would make sure to kill this b*tch on the spot! 
"Sure let's go. Oh right we won't go in naked, but you have to take off your upper clothes. Me, on the other hand, will only lower my clothes down to my chest, deal?" Chi Tian smiled as she walked to the sand bath area.
"I don't mind as long as we're not fully naked," Long Ao Zhen hurriedly followed after Chi Tian to the sand bath. He wanted to finish this as soon as he could in case his bunny suddenly went to this hot spring, disobeying his request.
"Oh, it's so silent," Chi Tian giggled as she slowly lowered her upper clothes right above her two mountains. Her shoulder was exposed freely, showing off her fair tender skin under the moonlight seeping through the bamboo wall around them.
"Quickly, swear before we get in," Long Ao Zhen didn't care about what Chi Tian said. The man coldly asked the girl to swear while he stripped his upper clothes revealing his well-built body. 
Of course, the man didn't pay any attention to Chi Tian's smooth skin hidden under her clothes. His mind focused on getting the cactus liquid, and no other things were worthy of his attention.
"Okay I'll swear now," Chi Tian quickly swore upon seeing Long Ao Zhen wasn't mesmerized seeing her half-naked upper body. She had to admire this man's determination.
Chi Tian's voice rang throughout the place. 
There was no one there at the moment, only the two of them, since it was already night time, making Chi Tian's voice the only sound both of them could hear, aside from the sound of the night's wind.

At this stage of the interview, the show host who had been quiet, allowing Tolu to tell her story without interference cuts in with a question, "Do you mean in order for you to go out with him he got you employed in another firm? And you agreed with him?"
       Tolu answered, "I told you I love him, I only refused to say yes to him because I do not want to loose my job, since he could pull the string, I have no choice than to play along.
       More so, the company he arranged for me to switch to was a bigger rival to the present company, the company offered more and better opportunities than where we presently worked together.
        So, two weeks after he promised me a surprise he delivered the surprised package. We were about to close on that particular afternoon when he called me into his office and told me that I should prepare myself for an interview tomorrow; then he gave me invitation letter for interview from the other company. I wanted to ask him some questions regarding this, but he did not allow me to say a word, he just told me that this is the way out for our love and it will be an improved favour for me when I get there.
      He told me to go home and prepare myself for interview the following morning. I left his office wondering whether I am dreaming or he was playing, but when I got to the place the following morning and his friend welcomed me and introduced me to the management as a special staff from my present place of employment whom he woo over to join their team, I was shocked !
      The show host cuts in here with a question, "Do you mean they took his word at face value and employed you without any form of test or interview?"
     "No, they put me to a test to confirm that I truly have special qualities and I surpassed their expectations, so they offered me employment and asked me to start work the following week"
      What now happened with your present place of employment, did you just dished them just like that?
      Tolu replied, "Well, that was exactly what happened, though they tried to get across to me through Richie, but they did not know that Richie himself was the reason I dumped the company"
       "So they did not discovered that you switched over to the rival company?" The presenter asked.
       Tolu answered, "They knew later....." And they did not sue for redress? The presenter cuts in with this question.
       Tolu answered, "They could not not do that, though I dumped them but I followed the laid down rule in doing so. When I was employed they gave me their code of conduct, and in it they specified that a staff who want to leave the company without prior notice will have to pay the company the exact amount that staff earns in a month...."
      The presenter cuts in, "So you paid them off and jumped ship?" Tolu answered, "In a way yes I paid them off, though not directly, I left the company at the end of the month when they were about to pay our salary, so in my disengagement letter I told them to keep my salary as pay off for my sin as stipulated in their staff's code of conduct"
      The presenter said, "Somehow I did not like that you did that to that company" Tolu answered, I also do not like it, but Richie came to our house in the evening of the day he gave the interview letter to me and I tried to tell him I could not do what he was asking me to do because the management of the company loved me"
      "What was his answer?" The presenter asked and Tolu replied, "Richie told me not to be a fool that the company don't like anybody, that the moment the going is good and they are benefiting from our talents they will make us feel we are kings, but let any small error occur, they will sack you like you were nothing to the company without notice. All these corporations are full of double standards, when they want to fire a staff they do it without notice, but when a staff wants to leave them they ask the staff to give them notice of a month or two, is that fair?"
       With his lecture I was encourage to do what my conscience did not agreed with me to do. Although later when the management discovered that I was with their rival, I saw that they were not shocked because it was a normal game between the two, I told you before that Richie  himself was actually snatched from the other camp and given sumptuous salary and post."
       The presenter said, "If that is the case, then I can't blame you much, it is a tit for tat game, but what now happened after you switched office?"
       "What do you expect?" Tolu remarked, Richie came to our house and said straight to me, now you have no more excuse, be mine and I did.
       The presenter called it a wrap when they got to this stage and called for peoples' vote that will bring Tolu back the following night.

He was in the deep gutter of jungle justice, in a matter of minutes he'll loose his life for crime he did not commit; and from the blues she stepped out to expose the real criminal and saved him.
Though nothing could match what she has done, but to show gratitude he helped her to secure a job where he worked and this caused a rift between him and his girl friend who was a born with silver in the mouth neighbour of his saviour.
With this girl friend annoying needless tantrums, he dumped her and decided to focus on the saviour, but she refused for a long time until he cleared off her chief reason for saying no through a special arrangement, and they started a sexless relationship which he  really did not like.
After a while in their cat and mouse sexless engagement, the criminal that she exposed to save him showed up with acid plastic and ruined her beauty.
With her beauty ruined he lost interest in her and dumped her for her traitorous friend. This set them up for a long journey of deadly vengeance. This book is a book for the strong hearted who can have food on the table and be glued to printed page that cant be put down to be read later!

"I think we're safe here" said Martin. The two of them have been walking non-stop to find a temporary place to stay. Away from this rain and from they pursuers.

They were able to find a small cave near the river. Seems like this cave is like a maze for it has quite several holes that you can enter to.
Its a perfect place for them to escape as well just in case the enemies are able to catch up to them.

"Good thing this place is not so humid. There are still dry twigs we can use to start fire", said Elena while picking up some woods.

Being the eldest among the six children, Elena learned what kind of food they can pick up on the mountain to get by. She also knows how to start a fire using just twigs as matchsticks are quite expensive to buy.

While Elena is adding some twigs to the fire, she noticed Martin was murmuring something the entrance of one of the caves they were at. She also thought to herself, "Please dear heavens, protect us from our unknown enemy" prayed Elena.

Martin came back to her with some edible mushrooms on his hand so they can roast it in the fire. Seeing the smile on his handsome face makes Elena's heart skip a beat.

*******

Elena woke up in the middle of the night. She noticed the time on her phone already strikes midnight.

Ahhh, she is now officially 25 years old. Time really do flies so fast, she thought to herself. 

After receiving the call about her job interview, it took a while for her to go back to sleep because of her excitement.

When she finally managed to sleep, she had this weird dream. Seeing a man smile made her skip a heart beat but most of his face is blurry.

Argh! now that I finally turned 25, I'm getting this sort of dream. Is it because I haven't had one since birth? Elena blurted out.

She suddenly sat on her bed, feeling frustrated. How is she to have a relationship when she can even properly fend for herself. All she cares about is how to pay all the bills and make sure Mrs. Garfield won't kick her out.

It's not that she isn't pretty, but she don't have extra cash to buy some beauty products. She would wait for her friend Catie to give her some free samples from the beauty store she works at.

Thank heavens for Catie, otherwise at my age, wrinkles will be showing all over my face.
Oh! Speak of the devil~~ Her friend is calling her at midnight.

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy, happy, happy!! Hahaha! Happy birthday to my bff forever and ever! Catie is practically yelling at the phone.

Are you drunk? It's my birthday Catie. I should be the one drinking, says Elena.

Awhh... my dear friend, how bout you come here and drink with me? Huh? Huh? I mishu shooo much! 

As much as I love you my dear bff, I have an interview tomorrow Catie, Elena slightly brag to her friend.

Really?? And what company are you going tomorrow? Asked Catie.

Its with EN Geo Catie. Can't you believe it?! They considered for an interview. Me, who only graduated from a vocational school? I still cant believe it myself Catie! 

OMG my friend! Congrats! Its hard to get an interview from them so make it count! Do you understand?!

Yes maam! I will give it all and get in to EN! 

Hey Elena, remember the last sample I gave you? Make sure to use it! That's one of our newest product and it will give you a healthy, professional glow. 
Now go back to sleep dear and we can celebrate tomorrow once you get the job.

Uhm, thank you Catie. For everything. A small sob came out from Elena.

Its not time to be melodramatic Elena. You need your beauty sleep.

Ever since her parents died, Catie was the only person who stood and supported Elena. Catie's family is not rich but they were good people. 
When her aunt forcedfully kicked her out of the house because she already turned 18, Catie and her family let her in until she manages to find a job and a dorm.

Everything you did for me Catie, I will make sure to pay them back, thought to herself when they ended the call.

Once Elena turned 25, she had been having a series of dreams. She couldn’t understand why and what’s the meaning behind them. Until she, started to work for the richest man in their country.

This tall, honey-colored and handsome as hell man is full of mystery. As Elena interacts with Martin del Necis, strange things are happening around her.

*Note*

Some characters are based on real story but the story line itself is purely fictitious.

A muscular Orc secretary in office lady clothing walked in big strides as he carried two cups of bloody chrysanthemum tea. He placed the teacups on the table and nodded to Andrew and the Gnome reporter before leaving the office. 
"Dungeon Lord Andrew, thank you for your hospitality. I'm here to conduct a special interview."
The Gnome reporter was wearing large black-framed spectacles. He adjusted his spectacles and spoke politely.
"Of course, as the Winterfell Dungeon Lord, I'm honored to be interviewed by the media. You can ask whatever questions you want."
Andrew was gloating inside. Finally, a reporter came to interview him. He was going to be in the headlines tomorrow. He had already thought of a title for the newspaper—"Dungeon Lord Andrew, a good Dungeon Lord who cares for his residents". 
This represented his intention and achievements. The most important thing was that it told the truth.
"The first question is, what does Dungeon Lord Andrew think about Lord Sherlock, who is highly praised by everybody?" the Gnome reporter asked.
"Er, from an objective viewpoint, Lord Sherlock is a pretty good Devil Lord. From what I know, he has a Dungeon with 2,000 servants. As a new Dungeon Lord, it's a good achievement. As for Winterfell, we have a million residents in the Dungeon. As a Dungeon Lord, I have already planned in detail…" 
Just as Andrew was going to expound the details of his "Let Winterfell be great again" plan, he was interrupted by the reporter.
"Apologies, Dungeon Lord Andrew, my time is limited. I have to interview Lord Sherlock next. Please do not deviate from my questions. Is that alright?"
"Ah?"
"Good, next question, is Lord Sherlock…"
"Pom!"
The door was pushed open, and an Orc rushed in nervously and said, "Lord Andrew! Bad news!"
The Orc didn't stop because of the reporter. He shouted, "Dungeon Lord Andrew! An Orc village was attacked by Ogres! Lord Sherlock is fighting the Ogres with his brave warriors!"
"What!"
Andrew stood up immediately. The eyes of the reporter lit up, and he indicated his intention to leave. He was going to obtain the Orc village's location from the Orc later. 
Seeing the leaving back view of the reporter, Andrew raised his hand slightly…
"Come and pay me a visit next time," Andrew smiled and said to the reporter.
The Gnome nodded politely and hurried out.
Andrew looked grave. He turned to look at the agitated Orc and asked, "Which department is that? From where did you receive the news?"
"Dungeon Lord, it's the Publicity Department!"
The Orc said excitedly, "I just received an anonymous letter. After checking it, an Orc did come to Winterfell to request aid." 
"Let me take a look at the letter," Andrew extended his hand and said.
The Orc handed the letter to Andrew, who examined it. Then Andrew said, "Thank you for contributing to Winterfell. You may leave."
"Dungeon Lord, it's what I should be doing!" the Orc shouted excitedly before leaving.
Andrew threw a punch in the air. He gritted his teeth and finished the bloody chrysanthemum tea in one gulp. He was full of jealousy.
Why did Lord Sherlock help those Orcs? Why did his green-skinned creatures defeat the Ogres easily? Did Sherlock discover his plan and Michelangelo's relic? Did the Ogres divulge the secret?
That was despicable! Why was Sherlock so lucky?
Andrew wasn't resigned to fate, but he couldn't do anything. He wouldn't give up Michelangelo's relic. However, Winterfell already knew about the attack on the Orc village. He couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Though the situation was out of his expectation, Michelangelo's secret wouldn't be revealed to the public. He could make use of the Merchant Alliance's power to pretend to help the Orcs and restrain Sherlock at the same time. This was a feasible plan!
Who was the sender of the anonymous letter?
Was it Lord Sherlock?
…
"Report? No, no, no. Why would I report on myself? I mean, I wouldn't send out an anonymous letter. I'm indeed compassionate and will help the Orcs. I'm currently at the Orc village. It's no longer an urgent matter. I don't think it's necessary to publish it in the papers.
"What? Must you report on this good deed? No, no, it's nothing special!
"What? You're feeling the desire to join us against the Ogres? Aiya, I know you detest Ogres, but going into battle is precarious. I don't think it's suitable for you.
"Don't report it. Please don't report it. Eh? Please listen to me…"
After his futile attempts, Sherlock sent the Gnome reporter off to the Adventurer's Guild.
Then he went into deep thought.
"Is this Andrew's conspiracy? Or is some other creature helping Andrew?" Bru asked.
"Lord Sherlock, there must be a conspiracy!"
"I know, something's not right. The anonymous letter isn't from us. I don't think Andrew is putting on a show either, as he wouldn't take the risk."
Sherlock sighed and said, "Ai, we have already occupied the Orc village, and such a thing has to happen. Let the gamers inform Brainiac and see if they can transport Michelangelo's relic away."
"I understand, Lord Sherlock. I'll give the orders to the gamers," Bru said.
…
Transport away?
Brainiac looked at the huge chest in the pit and at the huge statue of a Devil beside the chest. He lowered his head and pondered.
"How can we transport such a large item?" 
The gamer before Brainiac was very excited. He received his reward and immediately returned to the battlefield.
The fighting spirit of the green-skinned creatures was extraordinary.


Sherlock is a new generation Dungeon Lord whose ambition is to become the greatest Devil King and building up the greatest Dungeon in the Underworld.
He summons a group of other-worldly goblins who give themselves strange names, form cliques, engage in commerce, and even fight among themselves.
They call themselves—Gamers!
