The Dark Fairy

”You will be surprised to know that there was no such position as second assistant to team leader until a year ago. ”

Kai raised an eyebrow, his face showing signs of curiosity. He took the coffee mug from Max to refill while Max continued the story.

”Erenas father was homophobic, thats why she used to live in a secluded area with her parents. Her mother died a few years back and sadly her father contracted some terminal illness and gave in to his life last year. Since her father was homophobic and greatly possessive of his daughter, she was home schooled since the beginning and rarely had any contact with other people making her a little antisocial. After her father died, and with no relatives to turn to she was all alone and in need of money. ”

”Coincidentally Mr. Han Jun, the director of our company met an accident near her home when he was out with his family and their lives were saved by her. So, when director Jun showed his gratitude and told her to go to him whenever she needed help, she asked for a job. She said she was happy with even the post of a janitor. But the director felt that she was a bit overqualified for that job and given the fact that she saved the life of his entire family, he wanted to repay her with kindness. So, he offered her to be a second assistant to one of the team leaders. ”

”When fatso… I mean Mr. Blake learnt of this, he did not like the fact that one of the other team leaders will have two assistants while he only had one. So, he demanded Erena to be his second assistant. As a team leader of team one, director could not refuse him. At last, Erena was stationed to our team. And before you ask, yes, we were aware of her for a few months as team one was the core team of Vision and we could not accept a total stranger to our team and that too of her qualifications, especially when she came in through Mr. Blake. But she won us over with her hard work and loyalty. Now I think that there would not be a better person than her for this position. ” Max had a smile on her face as he reminisces about the past.

”It was lucky for Miss. Erena that she met director Jun back then ” Kai said, bringing Max out of his stupor while he handed Max his coffee mug which he just refilled.

”You can say that. They both got lucky. However, Erena is good at learning things. A few months of more training and she can compete with any assistant in the company. Now go and help her and don question her qualification again ” Max sad taking the coffee mug from Kai and left the room.

As soon as Max left, the entire aura around Kai changed and his brows furrowed. It was just like it was written in the report that Jay, his subordinate from that day sent him. All the records and evidence proved that it was true, but he still doubted Rain. He decided to keep a close eye on her to see if she will turn to be useful to him in any way.

Soon Kai and Rain headed for their investigation. As the town was small there were not many shops to visit but the stubborn nature of the shop owners and their unwillingness to co-operate made things difficult for them.

While team one was dealing with the after maths of the attack to their company, Rain and Kai were busy visiting the stores one by one. It was clear that the owners did not want to involve themselves with these matters, so they had to resort to approach their workers for any information that they knew.

Three days passed and they managed to gather some clues that can lead them to the culprit. It appeared someone from the company helped the culprit as things would not have escalated to such extent if not for someone from the inside tipping them about the minute fault with their product. They used to leave the office after lunch and investigate the whole day. But when Rain told Andrea of her findings, Andrea at once asked her to stop coming to office until she completed her investigation lest that mole find her evidence and try to destroy them along with the tail that he left. Rain complied.

Next day, early in the morning Kai arrived at Rains apartment complex where she shifted to, when she joined the company as it would not be convenient for her to commute from her old home which was in a far, less populated area. He drove a car provided by Andrea for the investigation and waited for Rain below the complex.

These past days along with the investigation, Kai was keeping a close eye on Rain too. He would ask asked her random questions and try to observe her behaviour to find any evidence against her story, but he could not find anything suspicious. Just last night he got a report of his reinvestigation on her, and he found official records of her and her family which proved that her story was true. Now only one thing remained to clear her of his suspicions, that no documents could prove. And that was loyalty.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Rain arrived, and they headed towards their next witnesss home.
