Rachel smiled "I will tell you later when I get home, I still have something to deal with at the company."
Charles stood up and held her hands "You just tell me what it is and I will get it done. You have already overworked yourself and it is time for you to take rest."
Rachel smiled "It's okay dad, it's nothing much, I will be back within 2 or 3 hours. I just have to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the matters with everyone. I will have to give them an extra leave as I will be utilizing one of it today."
As she stood up from her chair both her parents came to stand next to her and patted her head "We are so proud of you."
Rachel smiled "Thank you."
After the breakfast the trio went out of the restaurant and was surrounded by the reporters. All of them were surprised and didn't even understand what Rachel had done so they could only ask.
"Miss Cullen your company was at the verge of going bankrupt and you reversed the situation within minutes, how did you do that?"
"Miss Cullen everyone is impressed by the way you changed the situation and everyone wants to know how you did that?"
Rachel smiled and that was enough to create a momentary silence, it was so charming that even the female reporters were lost in it and then the silence was broken by her sweet and heartwarming voice "If I tell you the how I did that, won't I be exposing the secret that helped me stand on the top."
Her voice with that sweet smile had so many hearts racing. She was still wearing a black suit from last night and although that was crumbled, it added an additional charm to her beauty. It hugged her body closely and her little messy her made her so attractive that a person would forget what he was initially there for. She had the aura of a person which could not be matched at all, it was way too superior and on the other hand she knew how to behave warmly just to win people's heart.
The reporters and the people who were watching her on the television were dazzled by her beauty as if they had been bewitched by some dark magic and they just wanted to keep looking at her. One of the reporters was there to create trouble asked "You did all this in just a few minutes, did you use any underhand methods."

Charles was angered and about to snap when Rachel held her hand and smiled at him finally she turned to the reporter and with a smile that was enough to scare him she asked in a polite tone "Can you be clear with your words, I don't know what other methods could be used so please let me know what you have in mind."
He trembled in fear and the others who were ready to support him didn't say anything so he had to speak up for himself. I mean did you have any illegal support or did something that was against the rules."
Rachel laughed "First what proof do you have that I did that, second your question simply shows that you are paid to humiliate me and third I had been working over this for a month and not merely few minutes, only the changes were seen at the last."
One of the reporters scolded this person "Can't you look at her condition which simply states, she had been working for day and night without much rest, how can you say such a thing."
The point was that this person wanted to anger her so that she could spill the beans to the world of what she had done but this person was exceptional and didn't even show any response that he had expected. After answering a few questions she said "Thank you for your time, I will now take my leave as I need some rest."
The reporters would never let anyone leave a place that easily but they actually made way for Rachel. She went to her parents' car and made them sit in, she then asked her driver to take them home, it was Charles who drove here initially but this time Rachel send her driver with them as a bodyguard to prevent them from reporters.
She went to the company which was surrounded by reporters and she had no other choice but to enter through a secret entrance which was prepared was the situations especially like this. She got to her office and saw that Jessica was already present there who came ahead to hug her "You are amazing."
Rachel put on a proud smile and with a raised head she said "That I am."
Jessica flicked her head "It is so irritating to compliment you."

Rachel laughed and then said "It's good that you are here, can you call for am emergency meeting, I have to deal with a few more things."
Jessica nodded her head and then arranged for the meeting and when everyone arrived she told them what to do and in the end added "I know I gave you today off but our enemy had made quite a mess so I needed you here but you will definitely be getting an extra leave as a compensation."
The employees looked at each other and as if they had some silently talk which came to this agreement, one of them got up and said "Ma'am, we do not want any extra leave, we are so proud just to be working for you."
Rachel smiled which was a very rare sight for them to see and she said softly "Work hard then."
After she went back to her office, she sat on her chair and finally relaxed "Ah! I am so tired."
Jessica who had entered behind her laughed "Off course you are, you have been working so hard."
She looked at Jessica and said "Can you take care of the rest, I want to sleep."
Jessica smiled "Hmm, go home quickly."
She got up from her seat and before leaving she said "By the way I would like to meet this person he really put up a nice fight. If he is interested, he can join hands with our company, we can both profit from it."
Jessica nodded her head "I will arrange for it."
After Rachel left she said to herself "Now that both of them are so eager to meet each other, how can I stop them. Off course I will have to arrange it."
She let out a small laugh as if something really exciting was going to happen. She then remembered the situation from the morning when before she had come here. She had went to Robert to ask him to stop and he said without looking at her "It is s on much fun, this person is putting up such a great fight when in just few hours she is about to go bankrupt. The more she fights the more it makes me want to fight."
Jessica said "Can't you stop it brother, she has done nothing wrong to you, why do you want her to loose all her money."
Robert smirked "How can I stop when the fun has just began, I love seeing how she is struggling but don't worry I am not that ruthless to leave her with no money only if she gave up and stop putting up a fight she would have more of it."
Jessica cursed him in his head 'If you really knew who she was, you would not have done this in first place. If you knew her condition right now, you would have protected her.'
Before she could even say anything Robert looked at the screen and froze in horror, he didn't understand what happened all of a sudden, he had planned everything so well and he was just left with nothing. His smirked "Indeed I underestimated her."
When Jessica heard this she asked worried "What happened?"
Robert looked at her and said with a smile "Little one, your boss has gained my attention and I would like to meet her, she is way to cleaver to have come up with a plan to defeat me, the person who has never been defeated."
Jessica laughed and said to herself "She made you do so many things for the first time and your first defeat too is at her hands."
Robert squinted his eyes "What did you say?"
She looked at his screen and said "Look she wants to meet you too."
Robert laughed "She dares to hack into my computer, looks like I will have to delay my plans of meeting the queen."
Jessica laughed "Brother, you have a long way to go with this one."
Robert didn't react and went to his room while Jessica went to the company. Now that Rachel had left, she sat in the chair that was opposite to her and realized how quiet it was in the room, she smiled and said "It is the silence before the storm."
