Either way, she reconsidered his suggestion and headed upstairs, there are two separate hallways that leads into different rooms with no label on the door, "This is a company, not a mansion." She murmured to herself and stepped to the left to check the rooms

Until she heard a door creaking behind her before she could even step forward, craning her head behind, her eyes slitted like the Viper's eyes while watching a mid aged woman coming out of one of the room, "Ryujin?!"

The blonde girl scoffed at the greeting, evading her advances to hug her, the lady frowned at the gesture but still smiled nonetheless, "How have you been—"

"Drop the formalities already. Why did you called me?!" Her mother flinched at her daughter's harsh tone, "Let's go to my office." The elder guided her towards the room where she came from as two maids came rushing to their sides with trays in their hands

"Come have a seat." Ryujin suppressed her usual sarcastic remarks but it's not a day without her remarks, "Nah, thanks. It looks like insects are habituating it. Better sit on the ground instead."

The maids visibly gulped at her in wary, "Ryujin, there's nothing wrong with it. We'll discuss the matter beforehand." Her mother handed her a cup of boiling tea, "I'm good, it'll be much better if you actually hurry up." [(A/N: This is just a FF, respect your elders, y'all! Or I'll come with my Katanas—)]

Sighing in defeat, the lady proceeds to explain the reason for once, "Look, you have every right to be mad at us with your father after what we did, there's no excuse needed after all of those things we've done. I knew it wasn't right at the beginning but I still carried on with the wrong—"

"What are exactly you trying to say?!" She piped in, face blank, "We need your help, Ryujin." The blonde girl wasn't so certain if her own ears are deceiving her, "You... need my help?" Her mother frowned at her inflated cheeks, giving her an idea that she's holding back her laughter

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you don't give a shit or two about me when I was still young." She drawled in satirical tone, successfully shutting the elder up, "And now you need my help? For what?! You have everything you guys need, do I need to cite everything?!"

"No, Ryujin. It's about our business." The blonde girl couldn't fathom if she was being deliberately serious or not, "Your business! Not mine! Now, it's better if you actually mind your own business without involving me!" Her voice bounced off the white walls

The lady sighed, clearly exasperated, "Ryujin, I'm going to give you the details myself later and I hope you reconsider and I—"

"Don't bother! You're wasting your time for someone who is worthless... isn't that your quote to me?" Her mock earned her a scathing glare, "Ryujin, I may have done something unforgivable against you but this doesn't mean you can disrespect—"

"You?! Please, mother! Other people might respect you because of your wealth but don't get the wrong idea if you think I'll follow your loyal beings!" The whole statement was dripping with sarcasm, rendering her mother speechless

"You got the riches and money you want, what makes you think I'll just crawl underneath your skin because of that?" She spat, turning her heels to walk out of the door

Until her mother spoke which spiked her interest, "I've heard from Jeno you're seeing someone... Particularly, someone you like." Her eyes automatically shut at the sentence, "What does my life gotta do with you?!"

"And I understand if I told you to leave him, you wouldn't actually listen to me." Oh god! Is it possible to buy this brainless woman dozens of brains with her own money?!

"I'm not reiterating anything regarding the fact that you don't have the rights to indulge in my life!" The aged woman was cut short when the blonde girl slammed the door shut and heaved a heavy sigh
