30 Chapter 28 (1/2)
”So you told him?”
”Yes. Are you against it?”
”….”
”….”
”No. He will find out sooner or later. Knowing Asher, he might already have his own investigation.”
”Mm… that's what we thought so too. He was not that surprised by the information on the folder.”
”It's just information. Not enough evidence. We even secretly dissected Aunt Emerald's corpse, but only to find that she was not poisoned and that the doctors' diagnoses were correct.”
”Mm…” The other voice in the line seemed uncomfortable on the topic, thus, decided to change it.
”Are you in Frizkiel yet?”
”Not yet. Where did you send Asher by the way?”
”In Apricot Country in the south. He will have some business dealings there, but I bet he will secretly investigate that woman's ident.i.ty. Else, why would he be so eager to go once he found out that he would be going there? *sigh…. He's so easy to read.”
*chuckle
”Father, I have to go, the plane is about to land on Frizkiel.”
”Mmm... alright.”
Alvaro leaned on the leather couch as he removed his earpiece. He slightly pinched the center of his brows and closed his eyes to let them rest from working too much on his laptop.
He glanced at the snow barren lands from outside the plane's window. The scenery was landscaped with snow mountains and glaciers covered with snowflakes and trees.
What a gloomy country.
----?----
Alvaro casually sipped his tea while his ashen blue eyes remained unmoved, locked on that lovely ice sculpted face of a woman, seating opposite him. His slender fingers, playing with his cup.
Deny as he might, his concentration was all jumbled up thanks to the woman.
A first in his surprised list.
Pale skin as white as snow and smooth as silk and almost breakable like porcelain. Oval shaped flawless face paired with a straight nose and thin pinkish lips.
And those eyes.
What incredibly amazing color of eyes, almost like emeralds, but it sometimes turned torques with the light.
Only, if she could be a lot warmer and smiled more, she would be rank top two on his list.
Top one always reserved for his darling Princess Evangeline.
But alas, the woman in front of him was colder than frozen water and sharper than icicle spikes. Coupled with her snowy white hair, she almost looked ethereal and scary if not for that beautiful face.
Rozarria Rozienheim
CEO of Rozienheim corporation that deals mostly with pieces of jewelry and precious stones.
Rozienheim is a top brand almost appearing every week in jewelry and fashion magazines. Every n.o.ble ladies and wealthy socialite owned at least a set of this expensive jewelry if they wanted their name to be carved in the list of wealthy aristocrats.
Even Royalties commissioned this prestigious new company to design pieces of jewelry for the Queen and King.
Aside from that, Rozienheim owned almost all of the mining site in Frizkiel. A country famed for its mountains of golds and precious stones.
But only little was known about the background of the aloof ice cold woman behind the gigantic new corporation.
Of course, Alvaro already had her investigated.
An orphaned at young, climbing her way to riches.
A first generation wealthy woman.
