EPISODE 81
“Listen to what he is saying.” The person entering said.
“Thank god Miss Nicole, you have arrived on time. Young madam is not listening to me.” Joel said, relieved that he had many people by his side.
“Nicole, you don’t listen to him. In fact Markus made me work even more in my starting days, this is absolutely nothing.” Kizy said, looking at Nicole for a moment before digging back into the documents.
Nicole just nodded at Joel who left the room, hoping that at least Kizy would listen to Nicole.
“Have this first. You only had an apple for breakfast. Plus you had been standing for almost an hour for the sight seeing. At this rate, I am sure of a good scolding session once my brother is back.” Nicole said while placing the breakfast on desk, pushing documents away.
And finally Kizy looked at Nicole carefully.
It had been six days since Nicole as well as her team arrived at their house.
Markus had made preparations beforehand, hence all of them had proper rooms to reside while staying by Kizy 24×7.
For the first two days, Kizy had been capricious all time. She would suddenly tear up, then get angry, try to act normal, crack some jokes and lighten the environment and then revert back to her silent self.
For these two days, she constantly tried to find any piece of knowledge about Markus, tried contacting him through different mediums, and even tried running away secretly in search of Markus, wanting to stay by his side.
But none of them worked. She was unable to extract any useful information from all the members, neither contact Markus, nor leave the city.
Just when everyone thought that Kizy will break down, shatter into a million pieces, she came back again, strong and hard on the third day itself.
Even Jason, who had been with her through thick and thin, had never seen such coldness that Kizy was emanating.
‘Love really changes you into an entirely different being.’ Jason thought, watching how she took all the responsibilities well.
On the very third day, Kizy woke up at 4 am, went for ten laps of running around the track that surrounded their huge house, she then called Nicole at 5.30 am, asking her to train her for increasing her strength in gym. After one hour of intense practice, she called out Rose and Victor for sparring.
Though they went easy for her, she was dead tired by the time it ended. But instead of stopping, she got ready and left for the office at 8 am, much earlier than their usual timing, which was 10 am.
Instead of sitting on Markus’s chair, she sat back on her usual table, looking at the chair for sometime before going towards the shelf and taking out files.
She went through important files, making notes in the process, typing something on her laptop.
Employees were still doubtful about Kizy’s capabilities though. She had been coming to the office at 8 am everyday and leaving at 9 pm, only when Joel and Nicole urged her to leave.
But on the fifth day after Markus left, Kizy called for a company meeting. She was polite, respectful but strict at the same time.
She scolded the employees for making minor mistakes or delaying the ongoing project while she herself presented three major projects that she wanted the comapny to start.
And no matter how many times the elders or experienced employees tried to find fault in her projects, the projects designed were simply perfect.
Any doubt could be easily answered by Kizy, as if she knew what people would ask.
The vice president stood up, asking respectfully about how long she had been planning to come up with the projects.
But what shocked all of them to the core was she had started working on these just two days ago. All the files and documents contained the date and time, which showed that Kizy had been working late hours, and even when she was at home. Two pages showed 1 am, which meant she had been working on the document even at midnight.
The employees clapped for Kizy, genuinely praising her for her hard work.
But Kizy instead of simply taking the compliment, immediately distributed the work. All the departments were given some or other form of work, all of them having goals to finish everyday, every week and even for every month.
Kizy had planned tasks for all the departments for the upcoming three months, and though the tasks were hard, none of the employees complained looking at Kizy who was working even harder.
Some were there who doubted that Kizy was only showing off for the beginning and would eventually tire out and exit.
But no, they were all proved wrong when Kizy kept doing this for an entire week, and thus any remaining doubts about her capabilities vanished into thin air.
In fact Kizy had lost considerable weight in the first week itself, though it didn’t impact her cold aura or even diminish her beauty in slightest.
If anything, she was looking even more of a queen, the one who was born to rule the world. People would only admire her from afar, thinking any step closer to her would ruin the environment and vibe she created.
All the employees were giving their max, striving for more each day, but there was some sort of excitement in them.
“Do you want some coffee?” Nicole asked while clearing the table after Kizy had finally eaten the breakfast she brought.
“No Nicole. Thank you for the breakfast. Also, could you please call the head of the PR department?” Kizy said, instantly taking back the file.
“Would it hurt you to take a break? You have already worked out for more than 2 hours in the morning, then went sightseeing for company, and immediately after a forced breakfast, you want to work again. Give your body some rest or else..” Nicole said, not knowing how to thr_@ten Kizy.
“Or else?” Kizy questioned without even looking at Nicole, all serious while reading the document.
“I won’t train you in the gym and ask Rose and Victor to stop teaching you to fight as well.” Nicile said, finally succeeding in making Kizy look at her.
“That’s fine. I have already learnt all the important exercises as well as fighting techniques. I can simply practice on my own.” Kizy said nonchalantly, while a small smile could be seen on her face that she was trying to hide.
Nicole so wanted to scold Kizy, but after watching her small smile that had appeared on her face after almost a week, she could not make it in herself to even lecture her.
“There are still a few things that I haven’t taught you yet.” Nicole said, trying to look as if she was pissed.
“Then what can I do? When I will have a fight with someone and they will beat me up into a pulp, only then you will realise how grave of a mistake you committed by not teaching me.” Kizy said, able to see through what Nicole was trying to do.
“Fine Lady Boss, I give up! You win. But nobody will ever be able to even touch a strand of your hair till I am alive.” Nicole said before leaving the office, unable to see the change in Kizy’s eyes.
“Lady boss, you called for me.” A middle aged lady, with spectacles placed on her nose knocked on the office door.
“Come inside.” Kizy said, signing the last page of the document before looking up.
The lady stood there ramrod straight, her admiration for Kizy visible through her eyes.
“Have a seat.” Kizy gestured, which the lady followed obediently.
“We have come up with a new product with ‘Aurum’. They have developed a set of gold jewelleries for day to day life as well as for occasions. I want your department to come up with a good marketing strategy for the brand.” Kizy explained the task in a few words.
“Lady boss, may I suggest something?” The lady asked politely.
“Yeah sure.” Kizy said, attentively listening to what the lady had to say.
“If this set is truly valuable, can we postpone its market opening?” The lady questioned.
“And may I know the reason why?” Kizy asked professionally, knowing that a senior member won’t suggest something randomly for no reason.
“Last time when they came up with the couple sets, we didn’t do any advertisement or even simple promotions.
You and Boss were wearing their earrings and brooch sets at the year end celebration. Similarly you both wore their couple rings after winning games on the same occasion. The photos went viral and the brooch, earrings as well as the couple rings received a huge positive response from the audience.
After that, we promoted some jewelleries, even letting professional and successful actors and actresses act for the advertisement, but none of them were as successful as your rings were.
So if this new collection is important, I think it would be better to wait till the boss returns so that both of you could wear them to raise the sales without even advertising.” The lady said, sincere about her suggestion.
‘Hmmm. How good it would be to do this. But I don’t even know when Markus will return. I can not leave ‘Aurum’ hanging and waiting till then though. What should I do? What to do??’ Kizy was thinking hard while the lady waited patiently for her answer.
“I have some people who might help in this. Let me discuss this with them. If everything is clear, I will let you know.” Kizy said, and the lady stood up, about to leave the office.
“Could you please ask Nicole and Joel to visit me while you return?” Kizy asked, making the lady worship her even more by her down to earth nature.
But what the lady didn’t know was that Kizy was always like that, respectful and polite to everyone.
And though she had been on her cold mode since this week, she hadn’t made any wrong decisions, or behaved inappropriately with anyone.
“Yes lady boss.” She said before bowing respectfully and leaving the office.
‘I will forever work hard for Boss and Lady boss.’ The lady thought in high spirits while calling Nicole and Joel on her way back.
Soon a knock was heard on the office door and Kizy knew who was standing outside.
“Enter.” She said, and Joel entered the office.
“You don’t have to knock Joel, how many times should I repeat?” Kizy said monotonously.
“Young madam, the thing is I am used to knocking on this door for three years now. I can not suddenly stop my habit. Similarlly if I get habitual to not knocking, I might repeat the same when boss is back.” Joel said, thinking that Kizy was angry at him because of her monotonous voice.
But the thing was she had been the same since past one week, not showing any emotions on her face and talking in the same voice.
Markus leaving her suddenly had definitely taken a huge toll on her body and mind, and though she was using work and exercise as distractions, Joel knew that Kizy was only damaging her health.
He had heard Nicole say that she saw Kizy turn her lights off at 2 am yesterday night. He was afraid that Markus would definitely not like the way Kizy had been living in his absence.
“You don’t have to knock even when he returns then. I will ask him to do so.” Kizy said nonchalantly, as if talking about Markus didn’t mean anything to her.
When in reality every time she called his name or heard someone mentioning him, her heart would ache, and she was suppressing all her emotions to turn them into her weapon when the time arrived.
This was the reason why she was working hard to build her body, even at the toll of over exhaustion, so that when the day arrives, she could stand by his side and fight the world together with him, instead of being the useless burden she was right now.
“You called me?” Nicole asked after entering
