Chapter 21
I'm His Fake Girlfriend
Cornelia's POV
"Good morning, my little sissy."
"Good morning, my big bro." We just laughed. Sometimes, we just love to do something childish.
It's still early on a Sunday morning. Kallum didn't have any meetings and I didn't work. It's weird actually, Kallum's company is on Jeju and Korea. But he had to meet his bussiness partner in here. And me, myself, I haven't worked at all since I quit from Colton's company.
"What will we eat today?" Tori asked while walking down the staris. She was yawning at the same time. I laughed, my friend is really funny. Ah, if you are wondered why Tori's here, she was spending the night at our house.
"Just pancakes, waffles, bacon, scramble egg and sausage. Wait a minute, it will ready soon."
"Sounds good." She walked to the dinning table. And she sit there beside an empty chair for me to sit and Kallum sit in the corner od the dining table. Our dining table is oval shaped.
I was cooking while humming. I moved my hip along with it. I heard Kallum laughed at me. I glared at him. But I couldn't stand it anymore and I laughed. And to my surprise, Tori joined me in my crazy time. We dance together like a crazy. We couldn't help but laughed.
I heard the door's bell rang.
"Who the hell come this early?"
"Kallum, don't swear in the morning! You will ruin the morning's mood. It probably my guest." I put off my apron and walked towards the door.
"Guest?" Tori looked at me asking for an answer. But I didn't give her any response.
I immediately opened the door. Colton, Alex and Sean was standing in front of me. They are all look good for morning appearance. Especially Colton and Alex. Both of them didn't use suit. They used a comfortable clothes. Colton look hot as always, he had his messy hair. I'm sure every women will fall for Alex and Colton. I'm not saying that Sean is bad. But Sean is already taken. Taken by Sophie of course.
"Please come in." I said nervously. Colton apearance made me nervous. I was afraid that I might jump over him.
"You have a guests this early morning?" Tori asked me.
"Yeah. They are all a busy men. I'm afraid that they will not have time for me."
"Of course we will have time for you, dear. Especially this time."
"What's the purpose of this meeting? And why that bastard is here?" Kallum said. He hasn't forgave Colton yet. He was still upset.
"That bastard is here because we need his help." I used Kallum's word, the bastard word. I just used sarcasm. And Colton just shrugged.
"What help? And you didn't answer my first question. What's this meeting about?"
"Kallum, do you have to be this talkative? You sound like a bird in the morning!" I lost my temper. I can't help but shout at Kallum.
"Sorry." He muttered.
"I'm sorry too for yelling. But please ask one by one. Actually you don't need to ask. I will explain." I said to him.
I glanced at the others who were already sit on the chair before start talking. The others focused on me.
"Okay. I gathered everyone here because we will discuss about our plan. About how to destroy Jacob. I have talked to Colton and Alex about this. And they are agree with me. So now, I just want to ask Kallum and Sean's permission. I know our first plan is just to help Colton getting out from this problem. But I have had this desire for a long time, I want to destroy him. I want to make his and Dmitri perfect life become miserable."
"Lia dear, you know that destroying him are not easy. He has his ally."
"That's why I ask your help. If you all agree with me, then I have my ally too."
"Lia, you don't understand. It will be very hard for us. He handles our father's company. You know that our company is a big one. He has many relation. Moreover, we can't destroy father's company."
Alex made a little cough. "Kallum, I have done some researches. Thanks to Colton's investigators division. I know the condition of Parker Corporation. First, the Parker Corporation is not as big as before. It has got a big amount of dept. Second, many profesional employers have quit from that company, because the system of that company is really suck. What I meant by system is the the employer's system. They hired people who are 'useful' for them. And kicked people who might put that company into a cliff. They say that Jacob is not a good leader." He explained it to us.
"Then why do you want that company? Just forget that useless company, Lia. We can still live with my company."
"It's not because of the money or living, Kallum. That company belongs to our parents. They own it. Even if that company is useless now, our parents's efforts are still there. I want to fight for it, Kallum. Moreover, you have agree to let me help Colton."
"I only agree to let you help him not have your revenge on Jacob."
"Then let me fight for our parents's company. The revenge plan is just a bonus."
"But Lia.." Kallum started talking but he was cutted by Sean.
"I will be your ally." Sean said. He surprised all of us. I quickly stood up and hugged him. I felt like I have been supported a lot.
"Sean, I know you want to make Lia happy. But it will put her into a danger." Kallum said. He is really stubborn. I knew he just wanted to protect me and put me away from danger.
"Kallum, it's your sister's request. Just do as she says. You were not there when she suffered. Just think that you repay her something that you haven't done for her." Tori said. She was all silent when we talked before. But when she talked this time, she support me.
"But if I do this, I might put her in danger."
"Then let me protect her." Colton said. Gasp were heard everywhere.
"Don't even think about it, Colton Xander Steward! You have hurt my sister once. And for me to believe you? That's impossible!"
"I want to change. I want to be better. I want to change for her. I want to learn to protect her instead of hurting her."
"Kallum, just let my grandson protect her. It will be his lesson. If he dares to hurt Lia again, then I will give him punishment."
"And If she is in danger, we are all here to protect her." Tori said.
"Kallum, please, let me protect our parents's company. It has always been my tresure."
I can't read Kallum's expression at all. He is very thoughtful. He thinks about all the consequence.
He sighed. "Fine. But let me tell you, Lia. Revenge will not statisfy you. And it will only put yourself into a danger."
"Yes! I love you brother!" I quickly stood from my chair and ran towards him. I hugged him tightly.
"L..Let go, Lia.. Ca..Can't.. Bre..Breath." He said.
"Oops! Sorry." I stepped back. And I grinned stupidly.
"So now, let's discuss our plan." Sean said with a serious face.
--------------------------
"So what should we do?"
"Lia, what do you want to do first?"
"I want to start with the plan of sneaking into his house. I want to get father last will. I want to see that will with my own eyes. If that corporation belongs to Jacob, then I will only have my revenge. And if that corporation belongs to Kallum, then I will get the corporation back and make his life become miserable." I looked at them with serious face and sharp gaze.
"Then we should go check Mr. Parker's last will first." Tori said.
"I agree with you. Then how can we sneak into their house?" Alex asked.
"I will have my team to hack Jacob house's system. So he can't access the CCTV and we can go there without anyone knows." Colton responce.
"Kallum, do you know where father put his last will?"
"No, I don't know. Maybe he put that inside of his office."
"No, he didn't put his last will in his office. He placed it on his favorite book." Sean said.
"Favorite book?" Everyone asked. Everyone seemed confused.
"Yes. He told me that. However, I don't know his favorite book. But he told me once that the book is very important to him and it means a lot to him."
"Wait! I don't understand. Your parents died because of an accident right?" I nodded. "Then how can he had his last will?" Tori asked again.
I wanted to laughed but I can't laugh in this tense atmosfer. But I heard someone laighed, it was Alex.
"Tori, rich and important person like Cornelia's father must have a last will. If he didn't have that last will, then we can't know the heir of that corporation, to who his wealth belongs to, etc." He explained to Tori but he still laughed in between his senteces. He even hold his stomach, he laughed to hard. I found Tori's question was funny, but not funny enough to make your stomach hurt.
Look pissed, Tori kicked Alex's leg which made him yelled and then he shut his mouth.
"Tori, you do know father's favorite book right?"
"Uumm.. I'm not sure enough.. But I can try to search for it."
"Wait, you can search for it? Are you rhinking that you will sneak that house?" I nodded. "Don't trying to joke with me, Lia. You are definitely not entering that house!"
"Kallum.. You are over protective you know!"
"I don't care, if it related to your safety, then I will be protective to you."
I groaned. "Kallum, I remember that house, every part of that house, pleade let me join you to sneak that house."
"Just let her, Kallum. We are there for her, she must be safe."
"Okay, fine! But I'm going to enter that house too!"
"So? Who are going to sneak that house?" All of them raised their hand. "Kallum, Lia and Colton will enter that house. Alex, Tori and me will wait outside and check the situation."
"Okay, cool."
"Discussion end here." I said that.
I went to the kitchen and brought the breakfast I have prepared. And we started eating without talking about our plan again.
