Chapter 5 - Queen bee

Doesn't mean I match him huh? I'll show him.. I'm way smarter than that idiot, in fact, I didn't even know he was smart untill the teacher told he was. We'll see how smart he is.

The class continued and soon the school day ended. I was packing my stuff and was about to leave when Aries came to my classroom door, and behind him, Freya. I had heard a lot about that girl, nothing good. 

Uh oh. Trouble.

"So you're the new girl.. I heard you're very smart. Don't let it get to your head though. You're still a poor little dirt."

Aries sighed. " Freya..."

"Right, thanks for the warm welcome. Have fun painting!" I said with obviously fake enthusiasm.

She frowned. "Painting?.."

"I meant your face. It looks like a canvas burst with colours."

"It's called make up. Though I guess you wouldn't know about it. It's for people with class." She said, turning from smug to angry

"Atleast I don't feel the need to cover up my face just to feel pretty or confident. I don't have anything to hide, nor do I waste time doing it." I replied.

"Careful. Not even a week here and you are already making enemies."

"Enemies? I think that's an exaggeration don't you think? I don't have time for enemies anyway. Goodbye!"

And, once again, before she could reply I left hurriedly. Uff.. what is wrong with this damn school. Everyone here are assholes. Nevermind though, I thought as went back to my apartment.

Right as I finally relaxed in my couch a call interrupted my movie night. I tensed immediately as I saw who it was.

"Alex? What's wrong? The meeting with the new merger isn't until tomorrow."

"Boss we have a problem. The Reyes investor is threatening to pull out. Something about not receiving the deal incomes-" Alex my personal assistant said.

"Arrange a meet with him online as soon as possible. I will clear it and settle the balances immediately. This wasn't supposed to happen though, I could have sworn I sent it... I'll check and get back to you. For now, arrange the meeting." I ordered already switching into work mood.

See, I am the founder and CEO of jjm empire- the company which I built alone from screatch, and managing director at mariono enterprises, which was passed on to me and my twin brother, Jare, by our dad's side family. Me and my brother are currently living seperately as our lives are still in danger because of my aunt. She was the one who killed our parents- mama reycee and papa jasfer- because she wants our inheritance. Like we'd let that happen. The company was not a source of income for us, it was legacy, a reminder of everything our dad worked for.

Besides, I could protect myself really well, I am working in the CBI after all- highest post, youngest and most powerful agent. So, yeah, that's my life.. a thousand problems and one solution, which is, food obviously. I was sad I hadn't seen my brother for a year now.. I missed him terribly. But that's just how it is. 

I was still lost in my own thoughts and memories when I got a notification from messages.

"Ready to meet me tomorrow?"

I ignored it. Probably some punk I helped arrest or something. That happens all the time.
