Chapter 45 Looking Down On Him (1/2)

Resting peacefully on her plump mattress, soft snores escape the girl's rosy mouth. Her medium-length hair disheveled and scattered messily around her gentle face.

As Mimi slept soundly, the sudden sound of her phone ringing had awakened her.

Groaning unhappily, Mimi tosses around on the bed - reluctant to part with the warm cozy blankets.

However, the sound of her phone ringing continuously had agitated her out of her trance.

Grumbling a few curses, Mimi snatches the phone off her bedside table, answering it with a slightly hoarse voice.

”This better be important otherwise someone's going to lose their little brother.” She snapped groggily.

”Uh…” Alec on the other end's face paled towards her grave words. ”D-Don't worry it's important!”

”Then spill it,” Mimi prompted herself upright onto the bed, her white T-shirt hanging off her youthful body loosely.

”R-Right,” Alec inhaled a harsh breath. ”Recently, ever since Tobias's companies profits increased dad's been planning something pretty big. He's using Kenji to go around and gain favor with other profitable companies. I'm not sure how but his profits had suddenly started rising as well. And fast.”

Mimi's brows furrowed deeply, a firm line naturally forming on her rosy lips. Suddenly a devilish sneer curled on her lips.

”I've always assumed the old man was undoubtedly involved with some underground work,” Mimi chuckled darkly. ”I didn't assume he'd finally take it into his hands to use it.”

”W-what?” Alec voiced with disbelief. ”You mean he's involved with…”

Before Alec could complete his sentence, Mimi cut the man off.

”Don't worry about it big brother,” Mimi laughed gently. ”I'll handle this.”

Gathering her words, a sudden chill ran down Alec's back. He couldn't help but fear what those words truly meant. He humbly trusted Mimi, but that didn't mean he wasn't worried for her.

”Mimi…” Alec started hesitantly. ”Don't overdo it. I understand you hold a grudge against dad, but don't do it to the point where you can't take care of yourself. I know you're doing this for--”

”Alec.” Mimi's icy voice immediately cut him off. ”Watch out for yourself rather than others. Sleep well.”

With those words, Mimi hung up.

Mimi stared dully at her phone with a vacant expression before merely shifting towards the private balcony in her room.

The moonlight lit up the girl's stunning gentle face. Her violet eyes dulled, her frail body appearing detached as if it was merely a cracked shell without a soul.

Mimi harshly bit her bottom lip as her hands on her sides formed into clenched fists.
