Quick Transmigration: Counterattack And Rescue System

Chapter 24 - This rich and depressed girl wants a change (19)

The dinner was going great, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was harmonious and we were all happy celebrating dad's new success when in the private room we were in, the music of a cell phone began to play. We all took out our cell phone to see which one was ringing.

-It's mine, is my secretary, what will he want now? - He told us before accepting the call. - If it's not something urgent, I don't want to know until tomorrow. Now I am trying to have a celebratory dinner with my family. Let's talk tomorrow. - After saying that impatiently, dad waited to hear what the other person was answering. - Well, tell me what is so important that you need my immediate attention. - There was another silence from my dad. It seemed that what his secretary was saying was a really bad thing because dad started to frown.

- How?!! - He shouted, exalting us both. - Repeat that to me!

-What do you think they are saying? - I asked mom whispering worried about how agitated the situation was becoming. Dad was getting more pale and the vein on his forehead began to peek out whitch was not a good sign.

-I don't know honey, but that is the face that he only puts on when the situation is really wrong. - She answered without looking at me, her gaze fastened on dad.

After having a short but intense conversation, dad hung up quite angry. He turned to see us in the face and then he told us that he had to return quickly to the company, that something had happened and that they needed his presence there. After saying his intention to return to the company and before leaving the room, he told us not to worry about anything and that we finish dinner quietly. Then he simply picked up his jacket and hurriedly left the private room of the restaurant we were in.

Mom and I looked at each other doubtfully and worriedly.

-Don't worry honey, your father has said that he will solve whatever he is so upset about. - My mom tried to calm me by stroking my hair but her gesture didn't do much for the nerves that ran through my body. - Let's eat, I am sure things will be fine tomorrow. He has told us not to worry, let's do what he asked us, yes?

-Okay, mom. - I replied, ducking my head.

"Why I have the feeling that something is going to go terribly wrong." I thought while knowing that something bad was trying to take over my body. I squeezed my hands tightly and took a deep breath to try to get the panic out of me. It did not work. I did it again and nothing. The panic increased even more.

"No, no, no..."

-Mom, let's go with dad!! I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen! - I said as I got up running. - If you don't go, I go!

I didn't wait to hear her answer and went straight to meet dad to accompany him to the company. Unlike dad who was just walking fast, I ran to the elevator like a person who was chased by rabid dogs. "Shit! Dad had to go down now, he couldn't wait for me... Never mind, I'll go down the stairs!"

And I went down as fast as I could from the third floor to the first where I finally saw the figure I was trying to reach.

"One more sprint and I reach it..." I told myself mentally while I was suffering fatigue. I rested for a couple of seconds to catch air and then I ran again no matter who was watching at me.

-Father!! - I screamed when I reached him and then I stood crouched with my hands on my knees and trying to catch my breath.

-Boss, it seems that something has happened in the family dinner. In a second I will pass you the audio of the patriarch's phone call. - I told Belmont, whom I had called after listening to the conversation and after seeing the head of the family was going to his car. - Should I follow him?

'Your mission remains the same. The girl is your goal, don't forget it. ' The boss who I heard from the earpiece lectured me. 'No, it is not necessary, if anything, I send...'

-Wait, it seems that Fluer wants to go with her father. She has run from the restaurant and managed to reach him. They seem to be discussing something but she has gotten into the back of the car without hearing what her father was saying. - Belmont was silent for a few seconds.

'Do what you think is convenient, but don't take your eyes off the girl. They pay us for that. Tomorrow morning I will send Mike to replace you until the afternoon. ' There was silence on the line until he spoke again. 'Use Nadine's help if you need it.' He said nothing more and hung up the call.

I started the car engine and with my hands free I called Nadine directly. The call took a few seconds before the caller picked it up.

-I need you to investigate what is happening with the Allamand technology company and then report your results to the boss, but first pass through the security of the company and put a listening virus on the CEO computer to be able to hear what is said there. - I ordered her quickly while following the red dot on the map with my car.

'I'm glad to hear of you too, sunshine.' I heard a female voice hoarse and full of sleep respond. 'It's so hard for you to ask for things and not order them?...' A sigh sounded. 'Okay... leave me three seconds to get up and put on my headset... Ready, I'm working don't interrupt me until further notice.' We both fell silent, only the keyboard keys when pressed could be heard.

When I was almost to reach my destination, a voice finally sounded. The sound of the keys that had accompanied me a great part of the journey also ceased completely. I did it! Laptop infected. His company defense was terrible. A person a lot, and you understand when I say a lot, less experienced that I could also come in and do what he wants with his systems. A good entrepreneur is one who knows that he have to protect his company systems very well and do tests and updates every few days but this entrepreneur... is a disaster in that regard! ' I heard despair in her voice when she said this last sentence. 'Can you believe it?!! I found a doc.u.ment that puts the date of their last big update, it's almost three years ago! The adversaries of this company are either dumb or very legal because this... '

-Yes, it is a disaster. I get it. I'm going to hang you, I've almost arrived. Thank you. - I told her reaching the car's hang button.

'Wait! Don't hang me yet, please. A simple thank you is not enough for my efficient service on my day off and when you had to wake up from my sweet dream. You owe me a dinner, but the elegant one, with champagne and strawberries. I don't admit a no. Now focus on your work that I'm going to continue with my beauty dream after a bit of work. Good night, sunshine.' And after saying this and without letting me answer the call, she hung up.

-Nadine... - I said in a exasperated low voice without realizing that a small smile escaped my lips. I parked the car not far from the company and turned on the microlight computer I had in the passenger seat. - Let's see what they do in there. Starting up the recording program...

[What makes you so happy, host? You've been with a smile on your mouth since we got home.] - Alphy asked me.

"I'm happy because I can't stop thinking about Fleur's face at school tomorrow. A shame I can't see her face now that her life being altered." I replied as I continued reading a novel on the mobile.

[It's time that you put on the cream again. And I have already told you that I am neither an alarm clock nor an agenda. You should keep that in mind.] -He said disgruntled as he jumped in the air in front of me.

"Alphy, I have enough math and physics in my head to remember such small things..." I replied without taking my eyes off the phone.

[You!]

"Let me finish the chapter, then I will put on the cream and fall asleep. Today I think I will have a very good dream." -I said with a mischievous smile on the lips.

And so I did as I said. I got out of bed, approached the dressing table to put the cream on my face as well as in my hands. The cream was cold, the freshness relieved me. Then I threw myself into bed to enter the world of dreams. Shortly after I slept.
