Will there be a happy ending

Time passes by so fast when you are busy with work… it wasn't until Erika called her for lunch that Hidayah realised that it was already 1 pm and her stomach was already drumming away in hunger.

Hidayat was meeting them both for lunch at the nearest KFC outlet. Can you imagine? Young masters from affluent family eating fast food for lunch… with their branded attires and accessories, laughing and joking while eating greasy food.

"You know… the plan for the next charity event has already started yesterday. But I need more sponsors. 3 of my sponsors pulled out earlier today. 1 of them is actually RCI. Now, we don't have any accommodations to auction off," Hidayat sigh.

"Why don't we offer up our summer villas as part of the 3 nights accommodation for the auction? We seldom stay there any way…" Hidayah suggested.

"I also can help with that…" Erika offered. "My family has a villa in El Nido, a condo apartment in Manila and another in Paris…" Erika sipped on her Coke, "as long as it is not in December and January, the units are usually empty"

"Haish… talking about holiday accommodations… I need a holiday too," Hidayah stretches her arms upward and cracked her neck. "Why don't we all take a break? National Day is coming soon and we can close the company for an additional 3 days since it falls on a Wednesday…"

"That is the nicest thing you have said to us for the past month! We should go on a holiday!" Erika cheered with her coke in hand pointed upwards. "I will make the announcement first thing tomorrow morning. I will draft the statement tonight and you can sign it off in the morning and I can book the flight for our group once I have everyone's details!"

"Look at you, Miss Eager Beaver..." the twins laughed at their friend for her over-enthusiastic reaction. Hidayah then nodded her head and wiped her fingers with wet wipes. "Yes, let us do that… where would you like to go this time?"

"Let's do a vote… or we can compile the destinations and pick it out from a lot!" Hidayat proposed.

The ladies agreed and Hidayah texted the group on Whatsapp: Guys…. I am officially closing the business for a 3-days holiday for the company and we can have an extended leave for National Day. Those without plans can join us… just suggest a destination for the group to have a holiday ????????????????

Hidayah:???? okay dearies…. I'll do the lots and pick a destination for us ????the result will be announced tomorrow morning ????

After lunch, Hidayah and Erika walked back to the office building and wait for Daniel to meet them at the lobby. "Later, I will introduce you to Leo… He is the Captain of the intelligence team. Since you are joining the array, you will also have the opportunity to work with the intelligence team to support both the array and the business."

Hidayah turned to face Erika, "I know you can fight for self-defence… but I also need you to be trained in other aspects like shooting, attacking and other skills you might need."

"You sound like we are going to war, Hidayah..."

"We are. The corporate life is not as clean as one might see. There's backstabbing, killing or even kidnapping involved. Especially if you are close to the main branch." Daniel replied grimly from her back.
