Veronica: CEO's Underworld Queen

'I'll leave the matter on you as I know you can handle it.' The old master Sy said in finality. Afterwards, he strolled out of the conference room without uttering another word but stopped after realizing that everyone else, including his son remained unmoving.

'What are you waiting for?! Don't you have people to introduce to me?!'

Butler Pito stopped himself from doing another imaginary face-palm. On the other hand. Rawlf's face remained blank as if he still don't understood how fidgety his father was all throughout the three minutes meeting and how he observed him consistently looking on the clock.

'It seems that you're exhausted father. How about taking a rest first on your quarter. I can introduce them to you over dinner maybe tomorrow night.' Rawlf said simply.

'What tomorrow night?!!' The old master said in a louder voice but after realizing another out-of-character burst-out, he cleared his throat right away and calmed his tone. 'I'm already here, what tomorrow night? I mean tomorrow night is different from meeting them today.'

Rawlf stood up without another word and walk directly out of the door.

The party of of six including Rawlf, the old master Sy, secretary Ryan, butler Pito and the two personal assistants walked out of the private elevator. The rest of the assistant secretary and personal assistant staff all stood up and bowed their heads at the sight of not just their President but the old master Sy. 'Hello old master Sy!' They all chorus.

Everyone bowed their heads except the newbie assistant secretary Zenith Co who met the old master Sy once in her uncle's, the current City I mayor's party. She took a step forward and bowed her head just when everyone already raised theirs and made her voice extra sweeter and greeted the old master Sy. 'Hello uncle Robert! How are you?'

The old master stopped and looked at the young woman who greeted her trying to distinguished her but still failed. However, because of his good mood from the upcoming meeting with his grandchildren and future daughter in law, the old master Sy bowed his head in acknowledgement then continued walking.

Rawlf on the other hand didn't even wait or look back when his father stopped to acknowledged his employee as he himself is excited to be with his family. He opened the door in his office himself and was surprised when two pair of chubby bodies slammed on him.

By instinct, his pair of strong arms caught the two soft chubby bodies, embrace them stood up. An ordinary man wouldn't be able to do it as smooth as how Rawlf did so. 'Daddeh!' Baelfair giggled as she flapped her hands and toes asking to be put down. However, Rawlf ignored her and rather lightly bit his daughter's chubby cheek.

Baelfair continued giggling when Baelfire said after a moment. 'Father, is that your father?'

Baelfair went silent and turned her head towards door. On the door stood a dignified older man, however much older but the twins could distinguished the similarity between the older man and their father.

'Yes Fire. That dad's father.' Rawlf settled the twins on the floor and started to introduce them to their grandfather. 'Fire, Princes, go and greet your grandfather.'

Both the twins just stared at the old man who has since he laid his eyes on the twins remained rooted on the floor.

The old master Sy engaged himself to a staring game with the twins and as if couldn't take it anymore, he opened his arms as if gauging the twins,.....his grandchildren, in his arms.

The twins were hesitant yet decided to come nearer the old master. Despite the obvious old age, the old master Sy still possessed the dignified and respectable aura that could no doubt intimidate other people. The twins included. They still stared at the old master Sy and observed him from a close up.

Veronica seeing the awkwardness of the situation was about to speak up to help ease the situation but Rawlf beat her. 'Fire, princess, greet your grandfather.' He said softly.

'The twins looked back on them and seeing the encouraging look from both parents, the twins both bowed their heads and greeted the old master Sy formally. 'Hello grandpa (gwampah) .

'No Sy bowed their heads to anyone.' The old master Sy strictly said which caused the twins to be even more intimidated.

Seeing the negative effect on his newly met grandchildren, the old master Sy cleared his throat and spoke in a tone he'd never imagined himself using. 'Hello kids...Come to grandpa.' The old master Sy'a voice is too soft that even Rawlf himself stared in his father's direction.

Growing up, Robert Sy had always been strict and serious dealing with Rawlf. And today, for the first time ever, he had ever heard his father spoke to someone in a soft voice. 'Maybe indeed, breathing fresh air everyday could change a person's outlook in life.' Rawlf thought to himself.
