"New year will begin in two weeks. Have you planned anything for the year end celebration?

" Kizy asked, planning to strengthen the bond between Markus and his employees.

"Yes.

" Markus replied.

"What is it?

" Kizy asked hopefully, thankful that at least Markus did something for his employees.

"Actually it is grandpa's birthday on the year end day. So we give a double bonus to our employees.

" Markus replied.

"And?

" Kizy asked, her smile fading a little.

"And we give a five day holiday, from 31st to 4th of new year. Work resumes on the 5th.

" Markus said proudly.

"That's it?

" Kizy asked, her hopes disappeared by now.

"Yeah.

" Markus said.

"No no no. This won't do.

" Kizy said, shaking her head.

"What?

" Markus asked.

"We need to change this all.

" Kizy said.

"What change?

" Markus asked, his brow raised.

"Give me some time. I will present all the plans for the year end celebration and Grandpa's birthday by tomorrow.

" Kizy said, her brain processing everything.

"Okay.

" Markus said.

Kizy turned and held the door handle to leave the office when she suddenly turned behind.

"How do you celebrate grandpa's birthday every year?

" Kizy asked.

"We hold a banquet like grandma's birthday this year. All the eminent personalities are invited. Mainly some important leaders from the underworld or more accurately those leaders along with their grandparents come to wish grandpa.

" Markus explained, remembering how they celebrate it each year.

"Can we afford holding two banquets?

" Kizy asked after pondering over it for a minute.

Markus giggled before speaking.

"Are you serious? You are the daughter-in-law of the Evans family. One of the richest in our country. I guess there's nothing we can not afford.

" Markus said.

"Okay then. I will give you the proper plan along with the budget. Also, if possible, ask mother about the collaboration today. I want to know her views to decide further.

" Kizy said and finally left the office.

"How many things are going inside that little brain of yours? How can such a smart brain forget something after being drunk though. How I wish you would remember that evening.

" Markus said to himself, remembering the day they both had confessed to each other.

The day went on normally for Markus, signing a few documents, going through some files and watching new projects and presentations.

But Kizy, on the other hand, was busy. She had shut herself up in her own office, scribbling something till Joel came knocking to remind her to eat her lunch with Markus. Once done with lunch, she was back at her work.

Finally after the office ended, she rested for some time during their ride back home.

After changing and freshening up, she made Markus sit with her.

"Can you tell me the people attending grandpa's birthday banquet every year?

" Kizy asked.

"Yeah sure. I have the invitation list from last year. We send invitation cards to all of them.

" Markus said while calling Joel from his phone.

Joel picked it up on the second ring itself.

"Good evening boss.

" Joel said in an energetic voice.

"Send me the list of people who are invited for grandpa's birthday banquet.

" Markus went directly to the point.

"Okay boss. I will send it immediately.

" Joel said, instantly turning his laptop on to search the same.

"Hmmm.

" Markus nodded and ended the call.

And the next minute, Joel had sent him the document including the name, designation and age of people invited along with their family members who attended the banquet.

The list consisted of more than a thousand people.

Markus showed the list to Kizy.

"Uhh Uhh. Could you do me a favour?

" Kizy asked.

"What do you want, little lamb?

" Markus asked in a dramatic voice.

"Separate the names between common people and the ones from the underworld. The common ones will include all the business professionals, celebrities and other prominent figures. As for the underworld, you already understand that.

" Kizy said.

"Okay. Will give it to you tomorrow wifey.

" Markus said, without questioning her even once.

"Also, what about the family members?

" Kizy asked.

"What about them?

" Markus asked, confusedly.

"Do you invite all of them?

" Kizy asked, remembering how huge the Evans family truly was.

Grandpa was the eldest member in the family, followed by his two brothers and one sister. Grandpa and grandma only had one son, who was Markus's father.

His second brother further had two sons, while the third brother only had a daughter. His sister had one son and one daughter.

Nicole was the third brother's only daughter.

Their entire family was involved in the underworld, controlling particular areas. But people from the new generation, like Nicole, were trying to enter fields other than this.

Though all of them were trained fighters, not all of them were involved in the family gang.

Whereas grandma only had a younger brother who had decided to remain unmarried for his entire life. Thus grandma had no one other than her brother.

But overall their family was huge, plus everyone respected grandpa a lot. The family had remained united for three generations, all of them completely loyal to the family.

"Yes we invite them all. Though some of the members do not work for the underworld, they all are acquainted with people from the underworld.

" Markus said.

"Can we invite them personally?

" Kizy asked.

"Yeah, individual invites are sent to all of them as well.

" Markus said.

"No, not like that. What if we meet them individually and invite them personally for the banquet?

" Kizy asked.

"Why should we do that?

" Markus asked, not understanding why Kizy was asking him to waste so much of energy and time when he could simply send the invitations as usual.

Every year they send invites to all the people including their family and others. But Kizy not only asked him to separate others between normal and underworld people, now she was to personally meet and invite them, which was confusing him as he felt no logic in doing it.
