Chapter 22 - 22. Justice Seeking Markus
"This is my childhood friend, Kizy. We had decided to build a business together since we were kids. But due to some personal issues, i had to drop out in my last year of college. But i encouraged her to continue with her education." Markus took a pause before continuing.
"Though we were unable to establish our business, this company was passed down from my father to me. Thus for the past three years she was recieving special education and training to join my business. After returning back, i asked her to assume the job of my Personal assistant, but she is not fond of readymade things served to her.
Thus she asked me to give her a basic position of employee. She had wanted to experience there life before assuming a higher position, so that she won't over exhaust them afterwards. And i obeyed.
But unfortunately due to some accident, her identity was exposed and i see people hating her without any cause.. And i can not just wait, watching her getting scolded by everyone.
Therefore today onwards, she would be my personal assistant. And her position would be second to mine. Even the vice president will have a lower status than her. Non of you can directly meet or talk to me without her permission. In fact the only communication we will have would be through her.
Alas, if i ever come across anyone who is bad mouthing her, you can just go back to finance department to recieve your salaries and forget you ever had a job in my company" Markus finished his speech.
Beside him, Kizy was completely stoned on her place, not knowing how she was supposed to react. 'Childhood friends?' 'Decided to build business together?' 'recieved special education amd training?' 'personal assistant?'
Wasn't this too much? How come she never knew about all this? She was about to choke herself from holding her laughter in. She just wanted to clap for Markus for putting up his oscar winning acting once again into action, and that too such dominantly! Like how could someone lie without even batting an eyelid.
But Markus was standing there confidently, as if all he spoke was 'The Truth' and 'The only Truth'! This was because he knew that nobody could find out the actual facts. Regarding there friendship, though they use to bicker all the time, but that meant they were always seen together.
As for his drop out, everyone knew about it. And regarding those three years of Kizy, even he was not able to dig out any information, thus he was sure that no one could do that. So he had nothing to fear.
Finally someone came back to senses and wished Kizy 'Good morning'. And thus all the employees chirped behind him, wishing her and praising her as if they weren't the ones who were scolding her moments ago. historical
Afterall who was so dim. First of all it was there boss who spoke, thus the information must be authentic. Then he even went as far as declaring her post as an announcement with such special status for Kizy. Though he never said that Kizy was important to him, even a person with no brains could see that all his actions were pointing it. Therefore nobody wanted to be on her bad side.
And on top of it, if she had seriously studied and worked this hard, even mingling between the employees just to know there working style, they only had sincere respect for her.
Kizy simply bowed down before them and then left with Markus to his office. The entire office was in chaos the moment both of them were out of sight.
"Damn!! So this was the real story. And we were busy scolding Miss Kizy when she was just trying to understand our workload"
"If i get a chance, i will definitely personally apologize to Miss Kizy. I have gravely misunderstood her."
"I want to light a candle for all those foolish citizens, who went out of there way, just so they could harshly comment on Miss Kizy. Knowing Boss's temper, he wouldn't be leaving matters at this"
"A good show will be beginning soon. Aahh i am already excited for this"
All the employees were busy making all varieties of speculations. But one thing was common between them. Non of them were badmouthing Kizy anymore.
And soon the PR department released the statement clarifying the incident. An attachment of Kizy's joining letter, signed by Markus was also posted. But the most important part was the last notice. It said that all those who had been involved in the slightest regarding this scene on social media would be sued by the company.
Immediately the netizens started removing those posts and comments, going a step further for apologising. But Markus was not the one to show mercy, not when he had decided to attack. Thus by afternoon, majority of the public in city had recieved notices regarding the same, saying they were sued for 'invading privacy'.
But none of them felt that Markus was wrong, as they had been overwhelmed by there own emotions, not remembering how badly they were speaking about Kizy. Therefore the image of Justice-seeking-Markus went up by another notch and all of them compensated for the so called 'mental damage' by paying fees.
One had to salute Markus for his plan. First of all he presented all his lies as facts. Then he showed proofs and instead of scolding people, he took legal action. This made people remember that he was there saviour.
But an additional benefit was seen from this incident. Many people who had been scolding Kizy, turned there attitude by one eighty degrees. All of them now paid proper attention to this kind and harmless looking beauty and talking about how hardworking and benevolant she was.
Thus both Markus and Kizy were able to cover up there relation, along with receiving praises instead of insults. Kizy luckily landed herself a post with more pay. Just that there was one huge problem - She would have to face Markus every day while being his personal assistant and put up with his vicious words!

Have a great day everyone.
