The first fight (3)

Remi is now back at her desk, putting the ointment on the side of her computer. She knew her condition wasn't severe and it would go away in few hours. Rich people exaggerate on everything, like a female main character that will faint over and over again. She is not some fragile flower bud that requires attention every day.

Looking at her computer screen, she clicked to see if the excavating team had logged on and cataloged their founding; the excavations can take up to several weeks. She saw the open-pit mining pictures uploaded, and it intrigued her to visit the mine one day—she had curiosities who decided that it had enough kimberlite pipe for them to excavate it.

Monroe is where common diamonds are found; the natural diamonds are becoming rarer since most of the mines had been explored hundreds of years before. To obtain and discovers an untouched area that produces diamonds is impressive. To keep the demand for diamond production, a scientist has found a way to form a diamond in the lab. However, the price and value of lab-created diamonds are less compared to natural diamonds.

She saw a few pictures they uploaded after the explosives were initiated. The pit seemed to adhere to safety protocols and wasn't a cut shop mining procedure.

Most IT department members have dispersed back to their floors. They were done with the training and gave Remi her employee identity card that she needed to enter the building and her laptop.

Selene, however, remains in the same room as her, and occasionally she felt a searing stare from her. One thing that impressed me was when it came to working, Selene delivered and put aside her scheming plot against Remi. Roman Knights take the best employee for him and his bed.

She keeps chuckling inside, seeing how both are two peas in a pod. Good, God!

It was lunch break, and she wanted to go to the cafe to get some food. She loves sweets and hates healthy food. She can survive eating any pastries without needing to eat anything else.

But before she leaves, she must go to the basement parking and do something.

The revenge begins: her skin might not be painful, but it itches to a point she shakes, restraining herself from scratching it. And she will make sure Selene feels the same way. She stopped at the bathroom to retrieve her secret weapon and ensured no one would enter the bathroom by placing a cleaning sign outside. After that, she left the bathroom and went straight into the elevator.

She reached the basement car park and had seen Selene driving a convertible mustang in a shade of pink. Knowing how she likes to show off, she won't be eating her meal in the employee cafeteria but instead driving to a nearby restaurant.

She took the metal hanger she had from storage and inches slowly towards her car, not wanting to be seen by the CCTV. Slide it in and lift the locked; it's an older version of Mustang that can be easily hijacked. The alarm chirping made Remi immediately check for the extra key in the glove box.

She took out the powder she had in her pocket, well Remi is a paranoid person; she knew her first day somehow would be tormented by Selene and other employees; her guess was correct, just a slight miss calculation; other employees did not condone Selene's behavior, but they are too afraid to speak up after Selene was rumored to be the boss's woman.

It is very much understandable.

Being petty, she sprinkled the powder on her AC and some on her driver seat and immediately shut the car door, and left the scene. Rushing to the bathroom in the basement, she washes her hands, arms, and face from getting any residue of the itching powder. The thing is potent. It was gifted to her by one of the "Hawk" underlings years ago.

And now, she waits. She will use the basement exit to go to the cafe and enjoy her delicious pastry.

Meanwhile, the trio in her house has left the condo early morning to drive to the city's outskirts. They needed to visit the clinic where Clarissa went to get information about it. Perhaps a recorded video from the camera can at least tell them if she was there with someone else.

"Coconut. Rachel called me yesterday," Mango voiced his words that were laced with concern.

", Did she talks about the big boss?" Baldie interjected while his eyes remained on the road.

"Well, yes and no; she was worried about her being unhinged."

Mango talked again.

"Are you worried?" Coconut turned to look at Mango, that is seated in the back seat of the sedan.

"To say I am not will be a lie, I know what Sissy has gone through for all of this, but I'm worried if she will be too obsessed with her dead twin" Mango looked out from the window, ashamed even to have uneasy feelings.

"Rach is not wrong, we are all worried about her, but if we leave her alone, there will be no one that can ground her from destroying herself. That is why no matter what, we needed to stay by her side".

Coconut answered sincerely.

"That is true, I craved a normal life, settling down with someone, but does she do that? Did she even have that at all? Remember what happened ten years ago? Rach has lived differently since we were children. She was always fascinated by the wealthy that came to visit us for adoption at the very beginning, she loves us as we love her, but she wants to be rich and marry rich. I don't see anything wrong with that, but she never worries herself about any matters at the orphanage. Boss just wanted to have closure; her mom's death had no closure; it was unsolved. Yasmin...." Baldie can't bring himself to continue. The incident with Yasmin was why Remi grew hatred of the rich.

"Let's just help her solves her twin suicide, and then we go legit and live our life; I'm sure she wants that for us as well."

Baldie needed to talk with Rachel later. She needed to stop assuming the worst about Remi every time.

Remi has a darkness inside her, and she needs light to help her; now, they are willing to be her lantern, shining the night and casting away the shadow.
