The elevator stopped on the 25th floor, Marcus angrily walked and Tom quietly followed him,
This floor is a private floor of Marcus. A huge office is painted white and a big portrait of the King is hanging on the front wall, he is Marcus’s father. He walked straight to the portrait raised his head looking at his father's portrait with respect, he closed his eyes to offer him prayers.
He turned back to his table, it’s a wide wooden table with a big leather chair on its side., he sat on his chair and started rolling his hands on the paper holder, Tom was standing behind him submissively lowering his head and clenching his hand in a fist.
Marcus was intensely thinking, "do you really think Cox is dead, Tom?" he suspiciously asked, his anger has somehow calmed so far,
"Master, we are looking for the pieces of evidence to prove his death and one more information, I just received is that the diamond crystal is deactivated to date and still drowned in the magical pond,"
"If Cox's kingdom has been demolished, then the magic crystal would have destroyed itself. Its presence indicates that Cox still has their existence, maybe an heir or heiress who successfully escaped the attack," Tom clearly explained every aspect.
"Hmm..." Marcus still thinking about all the aspects, suddenly Mars words echoed in his head "She is Innocent".
He raised an eyebrow, "How would Mars know that she is not the real princess?" he murmured.
"Checkout Mars last month activities, I want all the information, where and how he spent his single second on my desk by tomorrow?" his harshly ordered
"Yes, Master," Tom nodded,
Tom was about to walk out of the office,
"Get me a new phone," Marcus ordered him before he leaves,
Tom took a few steps back opened a drawer of the side table, the drawer is full of the latest I-phones, he picks one and switched it on and handed it to Marcus,
He is an angry bird and has a habit of smashing his things, his mobile is mainly the victim of his anger whether it's a personal or professional problem, his phone got smashed,
Tom made this drawer, especially for his phones. All phones in the drawer have the clonal sim card of Marcus contact number. This drawer is upgraded with the latest mobile phones every month.
"May I go, Master"? Tom gently asked.
Marcus signalled him to leave with his hand, and Tom stepped out of the room,
Marcus looked down on his phone, he was impatiently scrolling his fingers on the phone screen, searching for something,
After a couple of moments, there is a knock at the door, "Come in", he ordered without raising his head,
A man entered in with a file in his hand. He is Fin, Marcus's official personal assistant and looks after his business affairs in his absence,"
"Good Morning Master", Fin bowed to Marcus,
Marcus who was still scrolling his phone screen didn't look up at him,
"Master, Mr. Tyrant Wright is waiting for you at the meeting hall with his new plan of the merger."
Marcus raised his head, stood up, and started moving to the door, 'Let's go Fin." He ordered while moving, Fin rushed to the door and opened it for him, Marcus stepped out and Fin followed him,
"Master, I have gone through his proposal, Mr. Tyrant has explained everything clearly. The Land on which he wants to construct an Ambience Mall belongs to Smith's empire and cost trillions of pounds If we leased the land to Wright's group of companies, we can earn huge revenue from the barren land. The land is out of use after the demise of King-Smith", Fin explained
Marcus subconsciously nodded his head still looking on his phone screen, his facial expressions keep on changing while looking on the phone screen. More to Fin's surprise his arrogant and rude Master slightly smiled twice in the span of 5 minutes, Fin was amazed to see him smile.
Fin is serving the Kingdom Smith since his birth. His ancestors served the king and the responsibility of serving the Kingdom was hereditary moved to Fin.
He never saw Marcus smile like this, "What is he watching on the phone"? Fin anxiously thought...
In Smith's Mansion,
Olivia woke with a small pat on her face, she opened her eyes to see who is patting, a cute little girl is sitting on her side, her black big eyes are amusingly staring at Olivia.
"Who are you?" Olivia asked rubbing her eyes,
The maid who was cleaning the room looked at Olivia and helped her to sit,
The little girl kept looking at Olivia,
"Hi, I am Alice," she innocently said raising her hand towards Olivia,
"I am Olivia nice to meet you, Alice", both shake hands with a bright smile,
"She is Charity, my mom," Alice introduced the maid to Olivia,
"Oh, your Mom, you are so cute Alice, Olivia pinched Alice's cute little nose," Alice smiled looking at her,
"Alice, don't disturb the lady," Charity scolded her.
"Miss, Shall I help you get clean"? Charity politely asked.
Olivia looked at her and then sadly rolled her eyes on her fractured arm and bandaged feet, “but I can't walk to the washroom” she said
"Don't worry Miss, I will help you," She bought a wheelchair for her and helped Olivia sit on the wheelchair and pushed the wheelchair to the washroom,
"Alice, don't touch anything and behave okay," Charity instructed Alice while pushing the wheelchair in the washroom.
Alice cutely nodded and waved her hand, both exchanged a warm smile.
Olivia felt good to have Alice a little guest in this room,
Charity helped her shampoo her long red hairs, gave her a sponge bath as she had bandages on her feet, put on a beautiful pink cotton midi, which is very comfortable for Olivia,
Both came out of the washroom.
Charity rolled the wheelchair in front of a dressing mirror. Olivia looked at the mirror her wounds and scratches on her arms have slightly faded, she saddened looking at her pale face and week body,
The maid took off the towel from her wet head, miss "Shall I use a hairdryer to dry up your hairs?"
Olivia kept looking at herself in the mirror and swept in her past.
Olivia lived a life of an orphan and never had a servant to serve her.
In an orphanage every child work on their own, when she was fifteen years old she started working part-time, she worked at many places for a few pounds and hardly earn her monthly expenses. She got her graduation degree on her 20th Birthday and was very excited. As a graduate, she has many opportunities to work with MNC's and can earn a good salary but when she went to that shop to buy sweets for her fellow orphans she was kidnapped, her dreams and desires went in vain. A tear dribbled down her eyes thinking of all that has happened to her so far,
Alice jumped out of the bed and stood by her wheelchair,
Her little soft hands wiped Olivia's tears and "Is this hurting you?"
Alice sweetly asked pointing to Olivia' plastered hand.
Olivia came back from her thoughts and looked at Alice faking a smile.
