n*AFTERNOON, MARKUS's OFFICE*

nKizy entered the office to have her lunch with Markus.

n

"Guess what?

" Markus said as soon as she sat in front of him

n

"What?

" Kizy asked.

n

"Do you remember the person you tortured to know who paid him to kill me?

" Markus asked, excitement visible in his voice.

n

"It was Raymond.

" Kizy said, without showing much interest.

nMarkus's face which was full of excitement became dull, his mood dampening.

n

"You already hacked into the account?

" Markus asked.

n

"I don't even need to do that.

" Kizy said.

n

"Then? How did you know?

" Markus asked, his brow raising.

n

"Of course. Who else from C city would want you dead so desperately? He knows how strong you are, but he couldn't take his boss's failure lying down. Thus he can make do with anyone who wants to kill you.

" Kizy said nonchalantly, as if she had expected this.

n

"Fine.

" Markus said, huffing a little.

nHe had taken off some time to hack into the bank account. It turned out to be one of Raymond's friends. Thus he didn't need any more hints to know the person behind this.

nBut who would have known that Kizy would readily guess the person without doing anything.

n

"Anyways I wanted to discuss the Year end celebration and Grandpa's birthday with you.

" Kizy said, distracting his attention.

nShe knew Markus would never leave Raymond, especially after knowing that he had ordered someone to kill him. Thus she didn't want to pay any attention to him.

n

"Go ahead.

" Markus said and Kizy took out her diary.

nShe opened and passed it to Markus while explaining it briefly.

nAfter twenty minutes, Kizy was done explaining it while Markus was left stunned at the plan.

n

"You sure you wanna do this?

" Markus asked.

n

"Yes. Of course.

" Kizy said, nodding her head.

n

"But we don't have much time. We barely have two weeks or at most 15-16 days at our hands. How are we going to do all this?

" Markus asked, a little skeptical about Kizy's plan.

n

"Don't worry. We'll do it all.

" Kizy said with a smile.

nBoth of them had their lunch and started with the plans. As it was the end of the year, there weren't many projects left. Thus they could manage to take out enough time for the celebration planning.

nFor the next few days, the couple was seen roaming throughout the city. People would click their photos where the couple went.

nThe couple was once again in top trending searches across the web. But there was no reaction from the couple about anything.

nFinally after exactly two weeks, 'Stardust' made an announcement for the highly anticipated Year end celebration.

nIt had issued a notice which left the public excited for the year end celebration which was happening in two days.

nThe function organised by 'Stardust' was supposed to take place in three parts.

nThe first part where all the employees would be rewarded and invited for the celebratory dinner in the evening.

nSecond part would be the celebratory dinner, where not only employees but all other influential members, celebrities and other famous personalities were invited along with the media for coverage.

nAnd the third part was kept secret from the common world. It would be a late night dinner party for people from underworld as well as the family members.

nInvitations were sent out accordingly to all these big shots from the commoners as well as the underworld.

n*TWO DAYS LATER, AFTERNOON, STARDUST COMPANY*

nAll the employees were asked to stay in the company meeting hall on the second floor.

nThe employees were excited to see their boss and Miss Kizy after a long time.

nSoon the doors to the meeting room opened while grandpa, Markus and Kizy entered. Joel pushed a huge box inside before standing behind the couple.

n

"Good afternoon everyone. Today I completed three years with you all in 'Stardust'. You people helped me to achieve what we are today. Thus today I sincerely want to thank you all.

" Markus said which was followed by a loud round of applause.

n

"Also, as you all know, today is grandpa's birthday, I invite you all to the evening banquet. It is mandatory for you all to attend the banquet.

" Markus said and turned towards grandpa.

n

"We would like to thank you all with a small gift. Have great holidays. I now announce that our company will officially begin working on the 4th of next year. Happy new year everyone.

" Markus said before going and opening the box pushed in by Joel.

nHe took out a bamboo plant, a sign of good health and wealth. He then passed the pant to grandpa, who further distributed it amongst the employees.

nEach employee received red packets, bamboo plants, invitation cards and warm wishes from grandpa and Markus while Kizy and Joel stood behind, watching it all.

n

"I once again invite you all to our year end celebration plus grandpa's birthday banquet this evening.

" Marlus said and ended the meeting, leaving the room with Grandpa, Kizy and Joel.

n

"Kizy, you are such a sweet child! How did you manage to come up with such a warm way to our employees?

" Grandpa asked, proud visible in his tone.

nGrandpa, though a tough man in his teens, had become a little soft hearted after growing old and losing his only son. Thus he always felt the need to stay connected with people, including his employees.

nBut he simply didn't know what to do. But fortunately today, his granddaughter-in-law made him witness the day where he got to thank all the employees personally.

n

"It's nothing grandpa.

" Kizy said a little embarrassedly, not knowing how to react to praises.

nBut coincidentally an employee heard their conversation and soon the entire company knew that because of Miss Kizy, grandpa and Markus could come up with a way to give the employees and their love and respect for her increased by another notch.

n

"What am I supposed to do for the evening banquet?

" Grandpa asked, remembering that they had invited their employees for the same.
