Meetings

"Meeting, again?"

"Yes."

Arian nods her head while tying her hair up. When going to meetings, Arian usually ties her hair up. Yeah.. we need to look nice and neat. Especially Arian, because she had a crush on Sir James. Lorraine and William continue drinking the tea.

"If anything happens, tell us!"

William says it in a whisper voice. Lorraine nod. Arian wink and give a blown kiss to them before closing the door.

KTAKK!

The door close. William and Lorraine continue enjoying their drinks.

[Meeting room]

"Now.. let's begin our meeting."

Arian pick her usual seat, probably beside Sir James. There's a twelve participate including Arian. Sir James put a blue crystal stone on the table. A screen comes out from the crystal stone.

"This is a picture of the case."

Arian look at the picture from the screen. There are about six pictures of children. Mostly girl, of course.

"For this case, Soel team will solve this"

"Yes, sir."

Sir James slide to another screen. 'Wow... The picture is kinda creepy..' The picture shows about ten people murdered. The body mostly cut in the half. On the edge of the screen, there's a girl holding the parachute.

"This picture was taken a few days ago. And... about this girl with a parachute was a suspect in this case. "

Arian nod. 'Very interesting case.. like it. I bet the killer must be super cute.' Sir James look at all the participant.

"For this case... Roy team will solve this case."

Say, Sir James. Roy nod. Arian jaws are automatically open. Sir James made eye contact with Arian.

"Do you have any questions, Arian?"

Arian stare at Sir James.

"May I know why are you called everyone if you choose a team to solve the case?!"

Sir James sighed make his front hair fell down. 'Omo! His hair fell down to make him looks more handsome!!' Arian close her face while her face feels hot.

"We end of the meeting. And you, Arian. Stay here."

'Gulp! Did I cross the line? Does he gonna kill me?? Oh no! Wait... Its okay coz I died in a handsome man'

Sir James walked towards Arian. He sits at the table in front of Arian. He bends down so his eyes with her in one line. Arian keep a distance so Sir James didn't see her face is super red.

"You are on the list where I trusted people. So.. I gonna tell you."

"About what, Sir James?"

"Actually during the meeting, The emperor look from the crystal stone. That's mean, The emperor can see you all. When it's time to choose who gonna solve the case, The emperor will choose by himself."
