Chapter 288: Orchestrated
Chen Empires.
Inside the President’s office, a man leaned back on the desk, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling glass.
’Knock’
’’Come in.’’
’’President, I have postponed the meetings. Are you going to visit Madam at the hospital? Shall I make the arrangements?"
Helian Chen tilted his head to look at his secretary, ’’She is picky about her food. She would starve herself if she had to survive on hospital food. Have the chef prepare a lavish meal for her but make sure to keep it healthy. It should be suitable for her diet.’’
’’Yes, President.’’
’’Have the servants send it over and say that the chefs and butlers made the arrangements for.’’
The secretary adjusted his glasses when he heard that, ’’President, are you not going to visit her?" If he was not going to visit her, why did he make him postpone the meetings?
Did that not mean that he changed his decision at the last moment?
’’No need,’’ the man responded calmly.
The secretary wanted to say something but in the end, he decided to keep his mouth shut as he turned to leave.
’’Wait...’’
’’President, shall I make the arrangements for your visit?"
Helian Chen narrowed his eyes.
"_"
The poor secretary indignantly pursed his lips even though he wanted to call the man out on his hypocrisy. Why send meals with servants if you do not care enough to pay a visit?
He had been a core member of the Chen Empires for a long time and he had had some interactions with the Chens on a personal level.
But even to this day, their dynamics confused him just like the servants and butlers were left on their toes around this family.
’’How are Diana and Daisy? Are they doing good?"
The secretary blinked at the question, ’’Yes, they are fine,’’ that was another question that bewildered him.
On the surface, they were supposed to look for the Chen sisters and they had long tracked them down but now, they had to keep it a secret from Madam Chen about it.
’’Did you make arrangements for the things I told you about?"
"_"
The thing that Helian Chen was talking about was sending money to Diana anonymously. And the arrangement was supposed to be made by arranging a random lottery in some amusement park.
’’President, the amount is too high and the Young Miss might not necessarily go to some amusement park. A lottery might not entice her.’’
The man frowned, ’’I know it might not entice her now but she used to love amusement parks as a kid so there is a possibility of her liking it. It’s just $20 million.’’
"_" Yes, just $20 million in a random public lottery. People would call it a scam.
’’And we succeeded the last time.’’
The secretary’s lips twitched, ’’That’s because Young Miss does not have a lot of idea about the market price of diamonds hence we were able to get her paid in double when she sold her accessories,’’ But which sane person would believe that there is a lottery of $20 million and they were lucky enough to win it?
’’President, you don’t need to worry about Young Miss. Although she has not seen much of the world, she is smart. She has been doing good so far. Moreover, with elder miss around, she would be fine.’’
’’I am not saying that she would not be fine,’’ Helian Chen sighed. He knew his daughters. Daisy and Diana did not spend a lot of time together when they were young but they shared an exceptional bond. Both of them could go to any extent for each other, ’’But Diana is high-maintenance. I don’t want my princess to compromise on anything.’’
The secretary wanted to cry for the umpteenth time in the past few months but he lacked tears. If you don’t want her to compromise with anything, why did you not talk to her gently when she played Rapunzel and jumped down the window?
Despite having a lot to say, he could only hold his words and nod his head.
’’I want you to arrange some bikes and cars for Daisy as well. When she broke into the mansion, I expected her to get her hands on a few things but she left empty-handed.’’
Secretary: "_" President, can you stop it already? Not everyone is strong hearted as me. If someone overheard this, they might faint.
After all, who would believe that the incident that went viral over the tabloids was all orchestrated by the people involved in it?
Chen Manor, a place with one of the tightest security over the country was broken into.
But the plot twist was, the thief was the elder daughter and rightful heir of the Chen family.
And in one way or another, the perpetrator was the Master of the family who was the only person who was aware of the so-called thief’s identity. Daisy scammed everyone, she surpassed the CCTVs, the servants, and the teams of guards, even her mother but her father was well aware of her motives.
’’A pity that she left empty-handed,’’ Helian Chen clicked his tongue.
"_" A pity? Did you want her to empty the mansion?
’’Do one thing.’’
"_" President, can I not do it?
’’So...’’
"_" I don’t want to...
’’Wrap your work in half an hour.’’
"_" There is a pile of shit on my desk. How to complete it in half an hour. What am I, an angel?
’’And come back to my office so that we can brainstorm ideas.’’
"_" Brainstorm ideas on how to pamper your daughters without letting them know you are pampering them? President, are you sure that the brainstorming won’t give me a brain stroke?
’’Do you understand?" Helian Chen tilted his head, his eyes narrowing slightly.
’’Yes...’’ The secretary gulped. Did he even have a choice? He hesitated for a moment, ’’President, are you certain that you don’t want to visit Madam? She...
’’No,’’ the man cut him off, a firmness in his voice.
She might mean the world to him but she did not have to know that.
The secretary knew that there was nothing more that he could say or do so he he left the office.
But within two minutes, he came back running inside the office in a panic.
