Did you find him?

Next morning, 9 a.m.:

In the central district of City A, consisting of various commercial buildings where a large number of conglomerates and businesses established their headquarters, stood a 30 floors building in all its glory.

Inside the building was a very pleasant and professional atmosphere as all the employees had just begun their another day at work.

On the 30th floor of the building, in the CEO's office was sitting a young beautiful lady aged around 24 years.

She had a height of about 5'9", making her as one of the tallest ladies in her circle.

She was having auburn hair framing her delicate face and reaching her waist, with moderately thin eyebrows and amber gold eyes which are always the most noticed part of hers.

Her lips were perfectly red and plump, making men go in to a frenzy whenever they see her.

She was wearing a white blouse with black pencil skirt with a low slit also black matching shoes.

Her figure was deliciously alluring with curves at all the right places, making her look like a Greek goddess.

Even though it was a simple office outfit, it was from a luxurious brand and it made her look extremely elegant. In her circle, the lady was crowned as the most beautiful woman of the decade(Unofficially).

Also, she was emanating a wonderful strawberry scent mixed with her original womanly scent!

Her name was Julia Casey.

The Company she was currently running was known as ALC International, a huge Public Organization owning a large number of hotels, restaurants, resorts, etc.

It was started by her father when he was a youngster and had just married Julia's mother.

Before that, their family was a military and political family consisting of generations of Military Generals, Ministers, etc. But Julia's father decided to explore different career opportunities and started his own business almost three decades ago.

She was handed the business three years ago, by her father, right after she graduated from the University.

Although her father remained as The Chairman of the organization and only took the most crucial decisions, Julia handled almost everything else and in 3 years, brought the Company to a different height.

In her luxurious office, Julia was sitting at her desk and was calmly sipping her coffee in a poised manner, hearing her executive assistant's report.

After keeping her cup down, she looked at her assistant in the eyes and in a confident manner said,

"So it is true after all. All the achievements that I made during my leadership are miserably overshadowed by a single failure to get a potential investor to invest in this multi-billion dollar project?"

Although she was stating her anger, she neither raised her voice, nor did she lost her composure and stayed elegant.

Her assistant named Sarah, was fangirling inside her head after seeing her cool and elegant boss, but didn't let it show on her face and replied,

"Yes ma'am. I got the word that those old directors are planning a rebellion against you and will probably support that sly fox, Director Smith, as he is holding 10 percent shares, the third largest shareholder".

Julia thought for a while and asked, "Where did he even get that much? Anyways, what do you have to report about our second largest shareholder?"

To which Sarah replied, "The current head of the Sebastian Family, Sir Arthur Sebastian who holds 17 percent of our shares is still in the neutral. But I don't think he will oppose you. His representative has neither praised and nor criticized you in any of the meetings before".

Julia smiled coolly and said, "That's a great sign actually. Even though my father is the highest shareholder with 25 percent shares, it is still difficult to maintain power".

Julia thought for a while and asked, "What about the request we made to SM Investment Group for a meeting with their CEO? Did they accept?"

Sarah hesitated for a moment and replied, "No ma'am, they haven't replied yet".

As Julia noticed that her assistant was avoiding her gaze, she said, "Speak, whatever you have on your mind".

Sarah sighed and said, "I think they will accept it this time. But with all due respect ma'am, I don't think its a good idea to approach them.

Although the reputation of their mysterious CEO was unbelievably great in the past, but it seems there was a change in leadership in recent years due to some reasons.

I don't believe that person, Garry Sebastian as announced recently, is the original CEO who was known to be a genuis who hunted down businesses like its a child's play, even though he is the son of younger brother of Sir Arthur, Luke Sebastian.

According to my research, Mr. Garry has the worst possible reputation in the upper circle for being a notorious playboy, party animal, and especially a spoiled rich kid.

That's why I suggest not to make a collaboration with them. Even meeting that playboy is dangerous for your safety, ma'am".

Julia was lost in her thoughts after hearing what her assistant reported, but calmly replied, "Thanks Sarah. But you know there are all kinds of people in the world. We won't know unless we experience it for ourselves.

We can decide if we want to start a collaboration with them later, we can atleast meet them and judge for ourselves. So report to me immediately if they accept our request.

Also, I'll manage my safety perfectly fine, by taking my bodyguards with me.

Anyways, what about the other request I made yesterday? Has our PI reported yet?

Did you find him?"

Sarah's face fell when she heard her boss ask about the information of a man she saw yesterday at the airport, when they were there to receive an important client.

Julia saw a young man walk out from VIP exit wearing a black leather jacket over white T-shirt, black jeans and black boots, shades covering his eyes as he was looking extremely dashing.

Her boss mentioned that the guy felt extremely familiar to her, although she couldn't put a finger on it, she was sure of his mysterious aura that surrounded him.

Snapping out from her thoughts, Sarah said, "When I called our PI today, he seemed to be extremely frustrated.

He said that whoever this guy was, he didn't get caught in any of the CCTV's, as though he was precisely avoiding them.

So far, he has no clue at all. And Airport Authorities have restricted the access to the passengers flight data, until and unless its the law asking".

After hearing this, Julia was greatly disappointed but remained calmed and asked her assistant to get back to her cabin.

Thinking about all the things happening around her, she had a feeling that its all connected somewhere.

Little did she know that she is going to be greatly surprised with the turn of events that are going to take place in the following days.
