Novel Full Chapter 158 - 158. Joel And Ruth
"Why did you ask him to stop?" Markus asked.
"What's going on between Joel and Ruth?" Kizy asked, ignoring Markus's question.
"You are quick to catch on." Markus said with a smirk.
"So there is something right between them right? What relationship do they have?" Kizy asked.
"Why do you care though?" Markus asked curiously.
After all, Kizy wasn't one to meddle in others' business, especially someone she had met moments ago. And her tone showed that she was more interested to know about Ruth than Joel.
"Ruth. She looks like someone with a past." Kizy said, remembering her eyes.
Though Ruth appeared like a normal teen girl, Kizy could somehow see a coldness in her eyes. Plus she was interested to know how such a young girl, landed up being the brutal torturer for a dungeon owned by Markus and Evans family.
"Smart little lamb!" Markus said, genuinely praising her.
"Will it kill you to tell me about them? Why so many questions?" Kizy asked, frustratedly.
"Ruth is Joel's younger sister." Markus said only a single statement, but that was enough to surprise Kizy.
"What? Younger sister? Real sister?" Kizy asked, doubting it.
"Yes." Markus answered.
"But both of them are so different!" Kizy exclaimed.
"And how exactly are both of them different?" Markus asked while walking towards his chair, interested to know what Kizy meant.
"I mean just look at them. They give off an entirely different vibe. Joel is so mature, he can perform any job with perfection. Though a little jolly, he is sincere at work.
On the other hand, Ruth is more of an immature but cold girl. There's a rage inside her, which unleashes in the prison cell. But outside it, she is just another young bubbly girl." Kizy said, reciting her observation.
"Your observation is on point." Markus said, truly impressed by Kizy's observation skills.
"But I never imagined Joel to have such a younger sister." Kizy said, a doting smile on her face.
Ruth was at least 4-5 years younger than her. And somewhere deep down she felt as if she was watching her past self in Ruth. Ruth reminded her of her own time 3 years ago.
"That's a long story." Markus said.
"Okay. Maybe you can tell me when we are free. For now, I want to make some amendments in our company. And I want to discuss all of them with you." Kizy said in a serious tone.
"Go ahead." Markus said, sitting on his chair.
Kizy came and sat in front of him.
"Let's grow our money and connections." Kizy directly expressed her motto.
"Okay." Markus said, listening intently.
"I know that 'Stardust' has already surpassed all the other companies in country B. But you are a lone warrior.Â
Thus, first of all, increase your workfield. 'Stardust' is only known for business. But if you were to enter various fields like housing, entertainment, jewellery etc, you will profit from that. Maybe you can even try funding money to other business firms on interest, and earn profits. You will grow your money by such investments.
Secondly, expand your connections. People are dying to collaborate with you on various projects or start business with your partnership. What you have to do is accept their invitations. Maybe you can start your first collaboration project with mom. 'Purple' is already a successful brand. Plus people know that it is owned by your mom. This would make others aware that you are collaborating with others now.
Third point, make your business and company stronger. Your employees should be most loyal to you. Treat them strictly but with affection. They are the ones who are making your company achieve greater heights. Right now they idolize you for your personality. But what I want is they should admire and respect you for being a good boss." Kizy said and took a sip of water, her throat a little dry from all the talking.
Markus just kept looking at her, as if looking at an entirely new person. He had never imagined seeing a different Kizy from the beginning of the day.
"Great!" Markus said after a minute.
"Thank you." Kizy said with a smile, knowing Markus was genuinely praising her. But the next moment….
"I never knew that you had a brain." Markus said, making Kizy puff up her cheeks.
"I am going." Kizy said, about to leave the office.
"Ok wait wait. Tell me how we are supposed to collaborate with mom?" Markus asked, curious to know.
"I thought you had a brain to think. So think by yourself." Kizy said, smirking.
"Fine. You are a genius. Now tell." Markus said.
"Repeat that five times, then I will." Kizy said with a devilish smile.
"Like seriously?" Marlus asked, not believing how childish his wife was behaving.
"Yeah." Kizy said, waiting for him to speak, because she knew Markus will.
And after a minute Markus had to repeat it five times.
"You are a genius. You are a genius. You are a genius. You are a genius. You are a genius." His expression darkened with each time he spoke.
"That's like a good boy. Now listen." Kizy said in a serious tone.
"Mom has always made stylish, comfortable and luxurious female dresses. But what if she starts producing some formal dresses for women? Something that would suit business occasions? Or maybe what if she enters the men's market? She can present you as her first male model, wearing her masterpiece." Kizy suggested.
"I am not modelling." Markus immediately replied with a firm tone.
"You don't have to do it." Kizy said.
"Then?" Markus asked.
"You could just wear it for some occasion. Or maybe you and mother could start with this collaboration, and for the event launch or for your press conference regarding this partnership, you could wear it. You don't have to walk the ramp Markus. Just wear it. That would be enough." Kizy said.
"This could do." Markus said, nodding his head.
"There's one more thing." Kizy said, interrupting his thoughts.
"What?" Markus said.
