893: A Troublesome Girl

A Troublesome Girl

[ Office of the CEO… ]2

An hour after the inauguration of the Heavenly Star's New CEO, Christian stayed inside his office together with Blue, his tiger pet. He could finally enjoy the silent peace in his office.

He didn't have an assistant nor a secretary yet. He wanted to be alone and do things alone. But Zu Wan insisted on hiring a secretary for him.

A knock was heard on the door, disturbing the silence inside. Christian and Blue both turned in the direction of the door. Blue was the first one who approached the door. Using his paw, he turned the doorknob, opening the door.

Blue could no longer speak to Miho, FaMo, and Scarlet but he could still sense and tell what's on Christian's mind sometimes. They were still linked together despite the fact they lost their magical powers twenty years ago.

The tiger stepped back as soon as he saw the person standing in front of the door. It was Zu Wan, his former master.

"Grandpa?" Christian was puzzled as to why Zu Wan came to see him.

Zu Wan smiled before entering the room. "I'm just checking on you. Your great-grandpa called me, asking for an update about you." 

Zu Wan sat down on the couch near Christian's desk. Christian also stood up and joined his grandpa.

"Gramps is always monitoring me. He shouldn't have pushed me to become a CEO if he misses me like this."

Zu Wan let out a soft chuckle after hearing his grandson's remarks. He had a point but Grandpa Lu was only doing this for Christian's sake. He had to mingle with other people. He was an intelligent and wise person. The company needed him. What's the use of his talents and skills if he wouldn't flaunt this to everyone?

"Don't complain. You are the New CEO now. I can't let you resign on your first day." Zu Wan was already used to living as an ordinary human being. He was having fun managing the company together with Titania.

"Anyway. I am here to give you a list of applicants for the Secretary position. I will give you the decision. You can choose your secretary." Zu Wan put down a folder containing ten curriculum vitae of the applicants.

"These are the applicants who were shortlisted after a series of screening. I think they can pass your standard. Just let me know if you've already decided whom to hire." Zu Wan patted his grandson's back.

"Grandpa, why don't you just assign Cassie to be my secretary." Christian immediately brought up his twin sister.

"She's just doing nothing at home. She is going out more often, wasting her time hanging out with her friends!" He added, complaining to his grandpa.

Zu Wan could only smile sheepishly as he didn't want to ruin Cassie's happiness. She was being doted on by everybody, especially  Zu Wan! He couldn't say no to her.

And Cassie made herself clear that she didn't want to work in the company. She had a different plan.

"I'm sorry, grandson. I can't let her become your secretary. Your sister already made it clear that just like you, she didn't want to work at the company right now." Zu Wan explained to Christian.

Christian could only sigh in defeat. He rubbed the space in between his eyebrows as he remembered how his twin sister stubbornly opposed his decision of making her the CEO, instead of him.

"By the way, Grandpa, where is that Brat right now? Don't tell me she is causing trouble again somewhere?"

Zu Wan and Christian both facepalmed as they recalled the series of trouble Cassie created a few months ago.

One time, she got drunk and accidentally used her fire power inside a club. Zu Wan and the Davis family had to intervene to cover it up. They made it look like Cassie was a member of the International Magician Club and she was just using her magic tricks at that time.

Two weeks ago, she beat up five men after disrespecting and offending her as they tried to hit on her.

One week ago, an establishment was set on fire because Cassie failed to control her anger. Someone pissed her off. The Davis Family had to pay a great amount of money to settle it. Though the owner and investigators didn't know who started the fire, the Davis Family paid for the damages, making it look like it was a donation. 

That was the reason why Zu Wan and Christian grounded her for two weeks. But now, her punishment was done so she was free to go and leave the house once again.

"Your great-grandpa already found a way to control your wild twin sister," Zu Wan said, reassuring Christian.

"What method are you talking about grandpa?" Christian asked him with curiosity.

"I just talked to your great-grandpa. He informed me about his plan. Your grandpa is planning to allow Cassie to join the Fiery Eagles."

Christian's eyes widened upon hearing that. He knew that Cassie wanted to join the secret forces of the Davis Family. But since she was a member of the Davis Family, Grandpa Lu forbade her to join.

Fiery Eagles was created to serve the Davis Family like loyal soldiers who would protect the family from harm. So typically, Cassie was not allowed to be part of the group.

But this time, Grandpa Lu finally changed his mind. Cassandra Davis was getting out of control day by day. He was hoping that Fiery Eagles could help her in disciplining herself.

"Furthermore, your great-grandpa requested us not to tell anyone about this. Cassie will join and train under an alias. A different identity. The members of the Fiery Eagles must not know that she comes from the Davis Family. It's the only rule Grandpa Lu asked your twin sister."

Christian could only shake his head helplessly. He wondered if Fiery Eagles could control and discipline her sister. What if she would create more trouble for them.

"Sigh. I pity them, grandpa. My sister is going to be a handful."

Zu Wan let out a soft chuckle and said, "Said by the person who set the mansion on fire when he was still young." Zu Wan teased Christian as he was the one who created more trouble during their childhood days.

Christian: *Speechless while looking guilty and embarrassed*
