章節 3: Rion's Plan
"Mr. Rion is not inside,"
The young woman at the front of the room blocked an old man who was about to enter the room with a panicked face.
"I know Rion is inside,"
The man stared at the young woman in front of him so intently that the young woman lowered her head, she immediately shut up and let the man into the room.
"Again and again, you useless bastard," Rion grumbled when he saw his father enter his room with a face full of anger.
"You refused a meeting with Viola? You are crazy? She will be our investor Rion!" shouted his father looking at Rion in disbelief. His father loosened the tie he was wearing because he felt tight, he was very surprised when he was told by his secretary that Rion refused to meet Viola, one of the owners of the largest paper company and the owner was the son of a friend.
"You know what to say to Willy!?" Mandy gripped his hand tightly, trying to contain his emotions.
"I have no interest in paper companies. I have my own choice of which one is more profitable for the company," said Rion flatly. He continued to open the file ignoring his father who shouted angrily.
"And I really don't care if he's your friend's son or not, that's your business," Rion said again.
"Look at me when I speak!"
Mandy pounded the table making the paper on the table scatter. Rion rolled his eyes in annoyance, he met his father's gaze sharply.
"You're bothering me. Didn't you say to focus on my work? That's what you taught me since I was a teenager," Rion lifted his father's hand from his desk.
"You want to be fired?" said his father, chuckling at his son's impudent attitude.
"Can you fire me? Can anyone run a company as well as I do?" Rion chuckled back, he raised his eyebrows in disdain at his father.
"Don't meddle with this company, just take care of your nearly bankrupt company." Rion patted his father's shoulder and left the room.
Mandy pounded the table hard, he wanted to punch his son in the face but he knew his son's face was a valuable asset as a company CEO. He loosened his tie again, he really wanted to fire his son if he had someone he could rely on other than Rion, unfortunately, Naura, Rion's younger sister was still a teenager, he didn't want to make Naura a second Rion.
"You were fired," Rion said looking at the young woman who had previously tried to stop his father from entering. The woman's face immediately changed and sat limply in her chair because she had only worked for two days and was immediately fired? She saw his former boss walking leisurely, she shouldn't have taken this job and believed the rumors circulating that Rion was a lunatic.
Rion continued walking with a straight face. He only nodded as his employees greeted and saluted. He wanted to come downstairs to relax while watching his employees work, because when he saw his employees working made him feel better.
"What a coincidence," said Alex who met Rion as he was about to enter the elevator, bowing his head respectfully to Rion. Rion told Alex to come in and press the elevator to the first floor.
"Are you looking for what I asked for?"
Alex nodded and took out a file from his bag. Rion smiled when he saw the photo of the girl he saw earlier on the paper. Magenta Savili, is a unique name according to Rion. Alex let him out as the elevator doors opened. Rion closed the file and walked towards the park, he didn't want to see the employees, he was more interested in reading information about the girl.
"Tomorrow the girl will be doing ballet and painting," said Alex following in Rion's footsteps.
"Okay, you can take care of other things," Rion said. Alex nodded, he stopped in his tracks to let his boss go alone to the park.
Rion sat on the park bench, he started to open the file given by Alex. He was slightly fixated on the photo of the girl, her face was very flat with her white eyes which added a sad look to her face.
"She's still young," Rion said when he read that Magenta was only 20 years old,
'She is a girl who is often asked to appear at events because even though she is blind she can do anything'. Rion's eyebrows rose as he read those words, that girl can do anything? He slightly doubted the veracity of that sentence mainly because he was blind.
'She was originally an ordinary girl but ever since she had an accident at the age of sixteen she's become like she has the ability to do anything'
"She's a sweet girl," said Rion when he saw Magenta's childhood photo, he was a little stunned by Magenta's purple eyes, he looked back at Magenta's current photo.
"Too bad your purple eyes had to go away,"
Rion re-reads Magenta's childhood information, she was just an ordinary girl until she had an accident. Rion turned to the next page, he was more and more interested in Magenta when he saw a photo of Magenta appearing. There is ballet, karate, fencing, painting, singing, and many other performances.
"Is she really that blind?"
Rion hesitated after seeing all the photos, how could someone who was blind do that? A smirk began to form on his lips, for some reason he wanted to prove it in person.
"I will recruit her as an employee,"

Magenta POV on
I open looking at my phone bored, I really want like other kids to be able to have social media to connect with each other. Due to a charade, I have to do, I can't have any social media at all using my name, which blind girl can use a cell phone? Maybe people will gossip about me that they say I can do anything but I can't just use a cell phone. My abilities also have limits. I can only display those related to talent and appearance, not including daily activities. I also don't know why, I also only realized it when nothing happened when I wanted to eat and closed my eyes, nothing happened, and my body didn't move.
"No problem, no one wants to see people eat," my mother said when I said it. Actually, I agree with my mother, but I get annoyed when people gossip about me because I can't do my daily activities.
"What's the point of having a special ability if it's still troublesome,"
I want to keep their mouths shut, they don't know how tired I am of pretending to be blind. Can't be myself, be a spectacle clown, and have to do what my mother says.
"I hope one day someone can set me free."
I closed my eyes and hoped for my strength to work but as expected, nothing happened. I'm still in my room in the same nightgown. I opened my eyes and chose to search the internet for my name.
'Magenta Savili, the special blind girl'
I opened an article that discussed me riding a horse. I smiled as I saw myself closing my eyes as I rode the horse and sped off. I myself was amazed to see myself, I never imagined I could do that.
"Sleep if you don't practice,"
My mother appeared at the door staring intently, her hand holding the cell phone, it seemed she just called someone, somehow I have a bad feeling.
"You will be archery tomorrow,"
"But I've never..."
"No refusal," my mother cut in and closed the door and locked it from the outside.
I can only sigh. Actually, I don't have to worry about archery because I'm sure I can do it well, I've never failed to perform even once because of my strength. I finally chose to go to bed and get ready for tomorrow, performing three times is no big deal, I've performed more than that in a day.
Magenta POV off
The next day Magenta was ready backstage for the ballet. She will be performing for the university bazaar. She saw many children her age passing by busy organizing events.
"Are you ready?" a girl tapped Magenta's shoulder. Magenta nodded. "You'll be out in five minutes."
Magenta was silent, she took a breath and looked at herself in the mirror. She wore a purple ballet dress with her hair in a bun.
"If only I didn't wear contact lenses," Magenta said to herself, her purple eyes would match the outfit she was wearing.
"We welcome the performance we have been waiting for. A girl will dance ballet for us but it's definitely no ordinary ballet."
The presenter's speech was heard from the stage. Magenta took a deep breath, even though she had performed many times, she still felt nervous. The girl next to her held Magenta's hand and led her toward the stage. Magenta can see a lot of people will be watching it.
"She is a girl who has flaws but that is her strength. Just go ahead, who is she?" shouted the presenter to the audience.
"Magenta Savili!"
Applause immediately sounded lively stage lights went out. The lights come on when Magenta appears on stage. Magenta smiled at the audience and then raised her hand, saying her signature line before starting the show.
"Close your eyes,"
The sound of ballet music began to sound low. Magenta's body began to dance beautifully on the stage to the music. Her facial expressions change to the music, adding soul to her dance even with her eyes closed. She became more and more immersed in the dance, her body swaying gracefully as if weightless. In her mind, she imagined a ballet dance she had seen before.
Applause filled the room as the music stopped. Magenta opened her eyes and smiled while looking down respectfully, she could see the faces of the people in awe and disbelief. The girl who had come and returned brought her down from the stage.
"Let's go immediately," said Dean, Magenta's mother when Magenta reached backstage, she took Magenta's bag and carried Magenta out.
"I haven't even changed," said Magenta, holding her mother's hand.
"The shirt belongs to the sponsor so it must be returned," said the girl next to Magenta awkwardly because she felt the uncomfortable atmosphere.
Dean rolled her eyes in annoyance and told the girl to take Magenta to the locker room. She glanced at her watch, she had to hurry to get Magenta to the next event because the owner said the time was pushed forward. She also just accepted Magenta's offer to play the piano tonight.
Dean immediately led Magenta out of the building. The girl in the room shook her head because she felt Magenta's mother was very rude. Magenta winced in pain as she was overwhelmed by her mother's path. Her mother paused a few times and smiled back at the other people's greetings when someone recognized them.
"Why are you in such a hurry mom?" Magenta said as they got into the car. She saw her mother driving fast. Magenta holds the car seat because her mother is driving recklessly.
"Why is there no driver today?" Magenta asked because usually, someone would always pick her up from the party who invited her. "They're all girls," her mother replied. Duk! Magenta's forehead hit the car seat, she held her reddened forehead. Magenta doesn't know why her mother always doesn't accept that the driver is a woman even though Magenta prefers it to be a woman, so she won't be harassed.
Braak! This time it wasn't Magenta's forehead that hit the car seat, but her car hit someone else's as they reached the parking lot. Her mother came out ignoring the car she hit, she immediately led Magenta into the room while glancing at her watch. "Almost too late,"
"Wait a moment,"
An old man grabbed my mother's shoulder. Mom glares at the man for getting in her way. "What's that?" my mother replied curtly.
"I should be angry, your car hit mine," replied the man. Magenta could see him raising his eyebrows in annoyance at her mother's attitude.
Dean glanced at her watch, she took out a business card from her bag and gave it to the man in front of her. "Just call me later if you want to ask for compensation. But right now I'm busy."
Dean immediately grabbed Magenta's hand and left the man in the parking lot. The man initially wanted to scream again but his intentions were stopped when he saw the girl who was being led by the woman.
"Isn't she the girl?" The man took out the photo in his pocket. "Right, she's Magenta Savili,"
