Hei-Ran could see the hot glare her father had on her as they walked into her grandfather's office. She could tell he was ready to blow off her head with his anger.
"Two months, Hei-Ran? What was the meaning of that?" He snapped while Hei-Ran tried to avoid his hard glare.
"You won't understand father."
"Exactly I don't understand. You just got an opportunity to get your position back, and you chose to gamble with it, being aware that there are people on that very table who'd want to sabotage you, because they won't approve of you?" He didn't understand her. He thought she was more sensible than this.
Hei-Ran stood in front of him and smiled. "That is the aim, dad." He frowned at her. What aim was she talking about?
Seeing his inquisitive and confused gaze, she sighed and led him to sit across her grandfather's desk. "The thing is, I need them to come at me, that way I can differentiate the weeds from the plants, and know how to lure them out."
Lure them out?
Father Su stared at her in confusion. He looked at his father who casually shrugged at him.
He looked at the both of them with incredulity, they had only reconciled, and they were already bonding and being so secretive.
"Lure who out?" He asked. "Tell me Hei-Ran, what's this all about?" He was beginning to think that there was more to her accepting a position at the company.
He watched as she shared a look with her grandfather who gave her a nod to go ahead. She turned her seat to face her dad as she began to explain. "So I noticed A-Yeong has been acting strange since grandfather offered me the presidency. She had even approached me twice to refuse grandfather's offer, and to give my share of the company to her for a price."
Father Su looked at his father who confirmed her words with a nod.
"But your shares are small. It's barely the shipping part of the company." He said and looked at his father again, sheer confusion twirling in his eyes. Or where there other shares he didn't know about? When Hei-Ran left the company, her grandfather had taken majority of what he had given her, save that meagral part which could be attributed as the shipping sector she had initially been the sole originator for. So why would A-Yeong have interest in that?
Hei-Ran brought out few documents from her bag and showed them to her father. "Because the shipping isn't the major part of the company and because of the low profit it reels in, there has been negligence towards it. But after A-Yeong's awkward actions and visit, I decided to do some digging, and I discovered company funds are being diverted towards those containers."
"And is that strange?" Father Su didn't think anything was wrong with that. "Maybe A-Yeong was trying to expand on it." Hei-Ran surreptitiously glared at her father. How could he even think of a positive reason for someone like A-Yeong? Well, she couldn't blame him. He had his own company and wasn't interested in Su Corps. He only had good numbers of shares with them. If she was correct, he was the fifth largest member of the board.
"An expansion that doesn't involve the board?" She raised a brow at him, and then it finally occured to him. She sighed and continued.
"Those containers are being cleared by company funds but there are no records of it."
Her father's furrowed as he looked through the files once again. She was right.
"Then what has she been doing?" He asked.
"That's what Hei-Ran has to find out. It seems that granddaughter of mine has been up to something for a while now." Grandfather Su hissed.
"And I believe it must be illegal." Hei-Ran chipped.
Father Su shot Hei-Ran a pointed look. "You can't say that. That she did something bad to you, doesn't mean she's now rotten to the core." Father Su didn't like A-Yeong for what she did to his daughter, but she was still family and he believed she deserved a second chance.
But his response seemed to have angered Hei-Ran who frowned at her. "If she's so good as you claim, then tell me what is she smuggling with those vessels? And has been doing it under the table." She snapped.
Hei-Ran's father sighed when he saw how angry Hei-Ran was. It was obvious she was still angry over what had happened in the past and she still held her grievances.
"As much as I understand your reason for wanting to do this, I think you should do this with a neutral and clear mind, Hei-Ran. Things might be as it seems." Hei-Ran couldn't believe her father right now. She had suffered defamation and mockery for six years because of A-Yeong, and all he could say was that? She scoffed.
"Let me be the judge of that." She said.
.....
A-Yeong was in a fit of anger when saw the news of Hei-Ran's appointment. Her face burned red as she screamed and threw everything on her vanity table to the floor.
"That crazy bitch." She roared.
She couldn't believe she had spoken to her, even made an offer to her, yet she went behind her back to accept their grandfather's offer.
"I'll kill that girl." She dug her fingers into her palm.
The scowl on her face ran deeper when her phone rang and she saw the caller.
"What is it?" She snapped.
"You stupid girl. What did you do to the chairman? Couldn't you have played your cards right?" An angry voice emanated from the otherside of the phone.
"You better watch your words." She snarled making the person scoff.
"Tell me, what are we going to do, now? We're to deliver soon, and you know what the failure to do so mean." She could hear the small break in the man's voice, and she knew he was scared. He has every reason to be.
"Damn you, Su Hei-Ran." She cussed. She took in deep breaths to calm herself.
"Do something and take care of her, while I look for a way out of this mess." She said before disconnecting the call. But the real question is, how was she going to fix the mess, because this wasn't even a mess.. It was a storm.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
