"Sister, do you think Wyatt has perfected the hack project? Otherwise, how do you explain him spotting you spying on them and directly addressing us through it?" Jaya quietly followed her sister from Fine Gold tower no.1 to Fine Gold tower no.2 thinking hard, trying to deduce how their new chairman was able to spot her sister spying on him? And only one answer came to her mind, the Hack Project. So she could help but ask her sister.

"Yes, he did and he also found the secret to immortality," Diana replied sarcastically to her sister's outlandish theories about their new chairman. But what she didn't know was how close to the truth her words were.

"Sister, I am being serious. Then how do you explain how he discovered you spying on him?" Jaya was used to Diana's satire, but she couldn't help but demand her sister to take her words more seriously.

"My first guess was that Cindy informed him about me spying on them beforehand but that is unlike Cindy, then I remembered that our new boss had inherited his mother's origin card Aura Sight. The next is obvious or do you need me to spell it out for you?" Diana's words had a hint of mockery in them. How could that escape Jaya's sharp viltronian hearing, she heard it alright.

"I know what Aura sight does, you don't need to explain it to me," said Jaya, but she still did not seem convinced, why would their new chairman think that it was her sister who was spying on them but not herself or any other top brass in Fine Gold and something spookier than that was that he invited both her sister and her to the breakfast. How did he know that she was with her sister? There were too many unturned stones about this to reach a definite conclusion but she chose to believe in her sister as she has been right so far. And didn't want to be mocked by her sadistic bully of a sister.

"Good, at least you are not too far gone, there is still hope for you," Diana consoled her little sister in her way.

"Sister, If Wyatt is our enemy why are you following his orders?" Jaya asked, referring to her sister teaching her a lesson on underestimating her enemy earlier.

"What? Chairman Wyatt is our patron, how dare call him our enemy? Girl, did your brian lose a few nuts?" Diana asked Jaya exaggeratedly.

"But, earlier, you compared him to an enemy." Jaya no longer understood her sister.

"Little sister, listen well, somebody is your enemy only when you know you can defeat them if not they are not your enemy." Diana dropped some knowledge on her sister.

"Whoa," Jaya finally realized that her sister sounded a lot like a coward but cowards outlast the brave, who taught her this? Her sister.

"Don't ask any further stupid questions. Come now let's greet chairman Wyatt with a bright smile and make him feel welcomed." Diana's right eye corner twitched as she spoke of the new chairman.

"Okay," Jaya felt the ups and down in Diana's voice but chose to ignore it.

…

"Good morning, Chairman Wyatt." Diana and Jaya greeted their new boss with big smiles as they had decided earlier.

"Good morning, you two. Why don't you grab a seat?" Cindy already singled the staff to add a pair of chairs, plates, and sets of cutlery to the table. After the staff made the arrangements Diana and Jaya got comfortable in their seats.

"Why do you stare, is there something on my face?" I asked Jaya, who has been peeking a few stares at me for a while.

"..." Being caught, Jaya got spooked like a cat and hurriedly shook her head in denial.

Looking at her tomboy sister acting shy in front of the new boss, she decided to help her, "Boss you look handsome today, she could help but stare. Silly girl, I guess she is at that age."

"Sister!" Jaya shouted in protest and gave her sister a death glare, but Diana was unfazed.

"Okay, then. Let's talk about rules, I would like to suggest a new rule, no more games. Do you understand?" I glared domineeringly at Cindy and Diana. Making my intent clear to both of them.

"Yes, boss." Cindy and Diana replied simultaneously.

"Your words aren't as truthful as your eyes," I said and then added, "let me make it clear what happens to you when you break my rules. You will lose everything, I am not talking about your wealth but your freedom to choose your life and death.

Remember, I am willing to reason with you guys because I respect your brains. But you dare to point that towards me, I will take control of them. If you thought Circle was a bad partner then I am worse.

On a serious note, you guys have what you have because I value you and am willing to give guys a seat at my dinner table but if you dare cross me, others may kill the family pet that bites them but I don't. I have something worse than death awaiting it.

You guys might not understand most of what I am saying but for your sake pray that you never get to understand those words."

"Are you threatening us?" Jaya asked, who else among the trio would be stupid enough to ask me this after having gauged what I am capable of.

"Not you, just the other two. People only threaten those that can harm them." I scoffed at Jaya's ignorance.

"You… I know you are strong and can have us killed. But we too are living and breathing people, how can you treat us like your disposable slaves." Jaya spoke about rights, that's rich coming from the girl who forced me to create her origin card by threatening my life. I guess this little miss here doesn't like the taste of her own medicine.
