"I gave you work to do since yesterday by 5:36 and thhs is what you brought to me"

"Am sorry sir it's just that it's hard to find,Mirs Scott. I think its dated way back "

"So what you're saying is that after all the resources given to you . You're fired"

"Let's go buddy" the man said pulling him out

"Get me a new detective " Jin Lee said immediately the man came back

"Already done that"

"Good" Jin Lee signing some document when a woman in her fifties came in

"Lee,did you fire another one of your workers" yhe woman asked

"Yes" he said without looking up from the document he was going through

"You can't keep changing workers like you change clothes"

"I dont change clothes like you do " Lee said coldly

"You brat "the woman said angrily 😠"

"What did he do now " she said swallowing her anger

"He's slacky "

"So was your father when he started his business"

"That's because he's weak even when hes young and I'm not "

 Your father wouldn't like like that

"How can you say such a thing " she said her face turning red from anger

"I have work to do mother "Lee said standing as his assistant packed the documents

"Give this to the managing director to sign Karl "he said handing a pinned file to him

After Karl left

"Why do you always help the Nian family " Jin Mei asked

"You dont have to know "Jin Lee said

"Anyways I will help if you promise to go on three blind dates "

"If yhe information is reliable, I will "

"Continue from where Nian Quintl stopped "

"What do you mean "Jin Lee asked a wave of confusion falshed across his stone cold eyes

"Figure it out yourself "Jin Mei said walking out

Jin Lee looked at his watch. It was time for his meeting

At a bijou apartment

"You live here now" Charlene asked

"Yeah"

"Small but fashionable "Charlene said as they entered

They just came back from work. Bianca had already asked for her leave which was reluctantly granted

"You must be exhausted, let me get you a drink "Bianca said approaching the bar

"Gin, please."Charlene said

"No problem "

"Aren't you drinking "

"Nah i prefer juice "

"Okay, suit yourself. I am drinking " Charlene said pouring herself a drink while Bianca quietly sipped her orange juice

"So, What's up"

"You know that my mom disappeared on our trip here when I was three "

"Yes and you grew up in the orphanage until you passed the the age limit"

"Yes, the only thing I had of her was a photo "

"Okay so "

"Last year, the photo got missing or stolen "

"Before or after you met me "

"Before. But yesterday a man with I think they are supposed to be two bodyguards came with the photo "

"So you dont know how many bodyguards were there "

"I am not sure if they were his bodyguard or friends but, that's beside the point, okay "

"So, what's the point "

"Aargh! Are you even listening" Bianca said angrily

"Can't you take a joke. Of course I'm listening. It's just you could have reported to the police "

"I know but I have a feeling that i shouldn't "

"Okay,besides that why do you want to go to New York "

"Well, I think that those people who kidnapped my mother, stole the photo, and are coming after me "

"So, you're going to NY to do ? "

"To hide, lay low, and relax"

"For how long "

"Aweek "

"You're pathetic "

"What"

"Try not to let your imaginations run wild while you're in New York"Charlene said "you have some more gin"

"Don't get drunk in my house "

"Don't worry I'll sleep in the guest room you do have one, don't you? "

"Of course I don't I mean this house is too small to hold a guest room" Bianca answered scartisic sarcastically

"All right I'm sorry. Tomorrow is Saturday, what are you doing "

"Nothing "

"Oh! Come on"

" I am serious, im not going to do anything "

"Bore, I'm going anyways since you are doing nothing "

"Okay, bye "

"You're not going yo stop me" Charlene said holding the door knob

"Nope, bye, bye "

 I never actually asked you to go so why should I ask that you stay

"Aargh! I wonder how i became friends with you "Charlene said leaving

When Charlene left, Bianca turned on the TV

"Can you believe it a member of the Nian family Mr Quintl just died and his will has been ------"

"Boring" Bianca said changing the channel

"If I was Mira Scott I would------" a lady being.g interviewed said

"Why does all the business news seem so boring tonight "Bianca complained changing it over and over

"What would the Nian family do n----"

"Aargh! I better go to bed"

Bianca Gordon turned off the TV, watched movies on a phone and add a midnight snack before going to bed.

At the Nian family mansion

" Grandfather how can you let our family matters be spread like that" Nickel Quintl said

"I know what I am doing "

"Father, we are going to be a laughing stock " Nian Karl said bitterly

"They wouldn't even dare "

"But even though we have to save face"

"I know but Information reaching me is that Quintl already started to look for who Mira Scott is?"

"You think she's related to his first wife perhaps a daughter " Nian Karl said

" I do not know but Lee is on it "Nian Junting the elder of the Nian family said

"You mean Jin Lee "Nickel Quintl said

"Yes"

"Humph" Nian Karl

"Nickel " Nian Junting said his brows knitted together

"Yes, Grandfather "

" Are you ready to take on the family name"

"If you say i should then I will "Nickel Quintl said after a moment of hesitation

"That's good "Nian Junting said

"Atleast you are wiser than your father" Nian Karl said

"What do you mean by that " Nian Nickel said angrily

"I thoughts you are smart, figure it out" Nian Karl said

"Enough you two " Nian Junting said

"Sorry, Grandfather. It's this old man's fault" Nian Nickel

" You Brat. I am your father's younger brother"

"So, you have a lesser ability to think I can see that"

"That's enough you two "Nian Junting said stomping his walking stick on the ground
