Chapter 2

LITH FASHION

Ellen stood in her red heels with a passionate gaze getting out of her Lamborghini. The yearning in her eyes reflected on the glasses of the ten-story building flaunting a red logo, Lith Fashion is something visible to the onlookers standing at the company door.

I will own everything.

Even if she didn't say out loud the employees standing at the door for her can see her will to fight.

"Everything will be yours soon, Madam Ellen", saying those words a girl wearing a white shirt and blue knee-length skirt walked to Ellen from the group of employees before the door, with a bright smile on her face.

Shifting her eyes to the welcoming girl, Ellen let out a small smile, "Kara, your smile make my day wash off all the pent up I gained this morning"

"What happened madam, Ellen", Kara Cooke, Personal Secretary of Ellen asked with concern.

"Nothing to speak about", Ellen just waved her hands, thinking back about Jayson, and asked her as she walked through the door crossing everyone reverting to her cold face,

"So, is everyone present for the meeting"

"Yes, Madam Ellen. We were only waiting for you to come", Kara Cooke followed Ellen as she answered all her questions.

"Then have you prepared for things I asked you of"

"Yes, Madam Ellen"

Both Ellen and Kara entered the lift glazed in glass to the seventh floor, where the meeting hall was prepared.

But then Ellen saw the reflection of Kara who stood behind her chew on her lips.

"Why do you so sullen now?", Ellen asked turning back startling Kara.

Still nervous, Kara replied Ellen, "The thing is, Madam Vivian, has come to meet you"

Ellen widened her eyes and mumbled to herself, "Vivian, what is she doing here?" 

She asked turning back to the opening lift door on the seventh floor, "Did you ask her why?"

"She said that she only wants to talk to you"

Hearing such a reply Ellen wanted to scold but held in. She knew from Kara's face what has happened. She knew her cousins more than anyone, "So early of the day, making my employees sunken and disturb my work, damn that girl"

Ellen checked the time on her red strap watch, "Where is she now?"

"She is waiting in your office"

Nodding her head, Ellen ordered Kara, "You go and proceed with the meeting at once, I will join everyone in few minutes"

"Yes, Madam", making a slight bow Kara walked out of the lift, whereupon Ellen closed the door and proceeded to the tenth floor, her cabin, the office room of the CEO of Lith Clothes.

Barging through the huge red door, Ellen saw a pink-haired young girl seated on her chair, "Why are you here?"

She is none other than Vivian Heath, second cousin of Ellen Heath.

"Is this how you welcome your cousin", saying those words the girl stood up from the chair, as she knew Ellen's temper, "Well, what do I expect from a degenerated, Huber"

Huber is the family name of Ellen's father, but now pointing that made Ellen flip outs as she knew, Vivian is trying to agitate her, so Ellen maintained her calmness, "If you came here only to scowl at me, please leave. I have more important work to do than seeing your foolish acrobatics, Vivian"

Vivian didn't expect such a reply, the Ellen she knew would have thrown tantrums by now, so she mocked her again, "Work. Let's see how long you keep that attitude"

'Something has changed', thinking those, Vivian said with a letdown tone, "I came here to invite you for Grandmother's birthday party"

Ellen's eyes darkened, "I don't think I can come, I have more work to do than attend the so-called family gathering where everyone dies to bite me"

Vivian chuckled as she saw the old Ellen, "Don't reject so fast. We are celebrating it grander since it will be her 75th birthday and it won't be just our family that is gathering"

"You mean", Ellen raised brows to curl up further.

"There will be a lot of big wigs and our collaborators that will be present, so Grandma asked you to come with your family."

"My family!", Ellen felt a bad feeling.

Seeing the dark Ellen, Vivian smiled,

"Not just your parents, but your secret husband too"

Hearing that Ellen understood why she came in person, 'she came to taunt me' 

Maintain her silence for a minute or so Ellen asked, "How did she know that?"

"She has more eyes than you think"

"I don't think I can come"

Realizing that Ellen is adamant, Vivian talked once again,

"You know the worth of this opportunity"

'I know full well, but I know about him too well, he will ruin everything'

Pitying herself, Ellen said half-heartedly, "I will think.."

Vivian scorned Ellen,

"Don't make mistake, personal and business are different, if you can't differentiate this then you are not even worth fighting"

"I don't want to hear that from someone who hides behind others"

"Tell what you want, it is something you should do even if you don't want to because Grandma asked your presence.", Vivian slammed on the table before Ellen, "This should mean a lot to you, as our family"

"I have to work so leave", Ellen said that as Vivian stared at her in anger.

'Family, like that is my family.'

And the whole country of Plarlas and all the neighboring countries import and export all the female products are manufactured by Lith Continental.

Looking at the leaving back of Vivian in a long black coat, Ellen smirked, 'You guys just want to play'

'I will play'
