Second D-Day (2)

"Now then, shall we get to the main point?" Nami grinned. Her grandparents looked at her with unease.

"Uncle will be reforming the company with a transparency policy!" She announced.

Grandfather interrupted. "What do you mean?"

"It means that our accounting practices and information will be revealed to the public in order to maintain credibility of our brand with the people." From her words, they slightly paled. She then pulled out a document from the drawer. "Do you know what this document is, grandfather?"

"What is it." He suddenly looked old and tired.

"This is a promissory note! Aunt and uncle signed it before going to jail! All of their stocks transferred to Himon, while 90% of their money from their bank accounts transferred to the company's account with the remaining 10% transferring to Himon's bank account." She sighed before shaking her head in disappointment. "Unfortunately, their money was not enough to pay off the entire amount owed."

"And what does that have to do with us?!" Grandmother scowled.

Her expression immediately brightened. "Well, grandmother and grandfather can help pay it off by transferring all of your stocks to uncle and receiving a monthly allowance from him! Just sign the note!"

"Do you really think that we would do as you say? What a ridiculous assumption!" She snapped at Nami.

"Is that so...? Is this how it's going to be, grandmother?"

"Little girl, I had enough of your playing around!"

"Playing around... Is that what you think?" She sighed. "You're way older than me and yet, you really do lack the wisdom and insight that comes with age."

"Nami-sama, shall I bring it?" Sebastian interrupted. When she nodded, he immediately left the room for a few minutes. The room was tense with an uncomfortable silence.

By the time he came back with the requested item, Nami's grandmother slapped her granddaughter in the face. "Once you're out of this hospital, I will fire your domestic workers and reform you for good!"

Sebastian carefully constructed his face in order to hide his emotional turmoil. "Here are the items that you requested, Nami-sama." He gently placed the documents in her hands.

"Thank you, Sebastian." She whispered.

Nami sat up straight, locking eyes with her grandparents. "Now then..."

From her simple words, they too stood up straighter as if preparing for battle.

"The documents I'm holding... Can you guess what they are?"

Grandmother narrowed her eyes.

"This is evidence of your embezzlement during your so-called unofficial retirement years." She murmured. "I found it while I was looking for evidence of aunt and uncle's embezzlement of the company. It's no wonder that you approve of the two, considering that they are your biggest source of income."

"That's a lie! We haven't embezzled anything!" Grandfather shouted.

"In that case, you can check it yourself." Nami nonchalantly threw the documents at their faces. Without shame, her grandparents picked up the papers before checking. Their faces paled considerably.

"This... This will be useless once it disappears!" Her grandfather quickly ripped the papers and ran to the bathroom to flush the evidence away.

"How naive." Nami's voice carried slight amusement.

When he came back, beads of sweat dripped down from his face. "Now all of it is gone! You have nothing to threaten us with!"

With an unnerving calm, she shook her head. "That was merely a copy. As if I would show you the real documents."

"What do you want?" Her grandmother asked quietly.

Nami smiled sweetly at the two. "Sign the promissory note and this agreement paper."

Grandfather seemed to settle down a little. "What does the agreement paper entail?"

"You will officially retire from the Board and will no longer handle anything in regards to the company. If you do not, then your participation in the embezzlement will be revealed to the police. For your own reference, embezzlement usually means 6 years in prison. I highly doubt that both grandmother and grandfather have the health or energy to deal with such a harsh environment."

"Is that all?" Her grandmother's eyes drooped down.

"Yes." Nami nodded. "You only have two choices: go to prison for 6 long years or live a quiet and somewhat comfortable life. Which one will you choose?"

After a lengthy silence, the two became subdued as if they gave up. Grandmother broke the silence. "We will sign the note and the agreement paper."

"A logical choice." Nami smiled as she watched the two sign with great reluctance. "Now, I don't suppose you have anything else to say to me?"

Once they gave the papers to Sebastian, they glared at her. When she said nothing else, they decided to leave the room while slamming the door shut.

"Well that worked out better than I had expected. Don't you think so too, Sebastian?"

"Of course, Nami-sama. It all went smoothly as planned. As expected of Shuugo-sama and Ayame-sama's daughter." He bowed in response.

"Be sure to send all the documents to uncle for safe-keeping by the end of today." Nami ordered before laying back down on her bed. "I want to finally get some decent rest."

"Of course. I shall do that immediately." Sebastian paused. "Please rest well, Nami-sama. If you ever need anything, Maria will be here for you."

"Thank you, Sebastian." She whispered out.

Once he exited the room, she silently listened to the whirs of the wind and the white noise of the world around her.

[How peaceful...]

[I'll just rest a little bit and then...]

Keep the reviews coming! :D
