Rachel smiled at her as she sat back in her seat leisurely "I know"
Jessica was stunned at her reaction and then realized that maybe it was out of shock. She went to her side and started massaging her shoulders "Rach I know that you are too shocked to react like this but please get a hold of yourself and do something. If something happens to you we will loose a queen again and we can't afford that."
She looked at her face again to see her smile even more brightly and she got even more worried "Rach, you should take some rest, you must be really tired as you have not slept properly for days and you have not been eating well too so I will arrange for something to eat as well."
Rachel held her hand as she was panicking "Relax, I am completely fine and the game has just started. Our company will take days to crash and until then I have my plans all sorted out."
Jessica heaved a sigh of relief at the thought that she was fine and said "I believe in you."
Rachel smiled "Thank you"
Jessica went out of her office and as she did that she received a few calls that made her rush back into Rachel's office again "Rach, the investors in our company are backing out and the people having shares are selling them too.
Rachel still sat there relaxed and said "Jess, tell everyone to go home and take some rest and the people who have been working with me will get bonus and 3 days off to take some rest. As for you just sit back and enjoy the show, I will handle the rest."
This time Jessica looked at her and asked doubtfully "Are you sure you can do this."
She placed both her elbows on the table and rested her chin on the back of her hands then she gave her a side look with a sly smile "Do you not trust your queen."
Jessica quickly shook her head "It's not like that, I have full faith in you but..."
Rachel cut her mid sentence "Go and take some rest, I got this but before that ask the staff to leave, they must be tired."
Jessica smiled and nodded her head thinking how kind hearted she was even though she treated everyone coldly but that was important too, no one dared to speak behind her back.

After everyone left Rachel sat back in her chair comfortably with her back resting the chair as she observed the screen with a smile "How is it that I can change everything with just one click but I want to wait for a little longer. You messed with me and now I will let you be happy and let you hope that you are about to win and then with just one click take all that away from you. I will see how you come out of that."
She still didn't want to underestimate the person and didn't want to make him find flaws with her so she tried to grab his attention to different field that he was actually going to attack. As for Robert, he thought that as she could not win in the other one, she was trying other options. He started fighting with her and now it was a one on one fight, she was happy to have distracted the opponent successfully.
Both of them went on for another night and everything happened according to Rachel's plan. The next morning as Jamie and Charles who were worried about their daughter came into Rachel's office and looking at her condition Charles said "You should take some rest, you can't go on like this or you will compromise your health. The situation has completely gone out of hand, there is no way to save the company as it has already reached this state. Don't worry I won't ever blame you as even I could not stand against this person."
Rachel looked up at him "Dad you never taught me how to quit" and with this she started working again.
Charles looked at Jamie to help him out but before she could say anything Rachel spoke again without looking at them "You know I am a little unhappy because you have no faith in your own daughter."
Charles was speechless but Jamie still spoke "Jessica received a lot of calls that many of the company's shares were sold by the shareholders to an unknown person online and so many investors have backed out only a few of them are still there."
Rachel looked up and said with a straight face "I know"
Jamie was speechless too thinking that even after knowing all this she was not ready to back out. She had a weird feeling that maybe she was thinking of using magic but then it was not what a queen would do.

Rachel looked up and said "Give me 10 minutes and we will go for some delicious breakfast. I am really hungry as I have not eaten anything since last night."
Charles looked at his daughter who was just perfect for this position and was fighting so hard but in this world it was the survival of the fittest so he was just sad that his daughter could not enjoy her birthday gift for a long time and had to give up on it.
Jamie was heart broken too and just wished that this person would not use magic but as a witch she had no right to tell the queen what to do and as a mother she could not say that because she just wished for her daughter to be happy anyhow. Both of them left the room reluctantly and waited outside for her thinking that she was finally going to give up.
Rachel made the click, within 5 minutes the tables turned and the opposing company crashed completely just in 5 minutes. She then did the rest of the cleaning and hacked into his computer to display the message "It was fun and I would really like to meet this mysterious yet worthy opponent some day."
She then left her office and went for the breakfast with her parents who had no idea what her daughter had done. They thought that Rachel was just pretending to be happy by putting on that smile but they didn't know the actual reason. Everything happened so fast that the people who had been keeping a close watch at her earlier were shocked too. They could not process what happened and just sat there watching as the mysterious company collapsed at the hands of Rachel mercilessly. The reporters were too shocked to show the information, they began to check that what they were seeing was right and they checked their systems to see it was not displaying wrong information.
Everyone wondered how a company that was at the mercy of RRS completely reversed the situation and even worsened it for the other company. This time around Rachel was truly appreciated and people now wanted to work with her even the once who looked down upon her due to her gender. She went to a restaurant and quickly booked a private room in order to not get disturbed by the reporters that were sure to pester her this time.
The family of three had a quiet breakfast talking about a some small topics but nothing about the company as the parents didn't want to disappoint their child. After they were done Rachel payed the bill and said "It is my treat, I am so happy today."
She then gave some extra money to the waiter and said "Keep it as I am in a good mood."
The waiter smiled "Thank you Ma'am, you are not as cold as the news says and are so generous. I really admire you along with your intelligence that you used to prove your worth."
After the waiter left Charles asked "What did he mean by that."
Rachel smiled "Dad..."
Jamie cut her "Why are you happy when the company is in this state."
She smiled again "Mom..."
This time Charles cut her and said with a worried tone "Are you in shock now that you are behaving like this."
Jamie joined in "You don't need to worry child we are by your side we will help you up again."
"She must be sick because of tiring herself."
"You are right, let's go back quickly."
Rachel laughed "Will both of you relax, I am fine and I have some good news."
She then told them that what she had done and both of them started at her in surprise.
After the initial shock was passed Charles asked "Did you do that in the 10 minutes that you asked for earlier."
Rachel nodded with a smile asking for appreciation but both of them were too shocked to respond to her request. Jamie shook her head "Pinch me, I must be dreaming."
Rachel rolled her eyes "Come on, don't behave like that."
Charles chuckled and then asked "How did you do that?"
