Pyrix Agency - Chapter 2

Britney blinks several times with her mouth gasping for air as it opens and then closes for how many times. This room, which is filled with cute and fancy things seems to be owned by her, oh, who she meant is, the old owner of this body, Laila Austin.

Laila Austin is the only daughter of the deceased Austin couple. She seemed to just survive from the car crash that killed both her parents and now Laila lives with her grandfather, Harvey Austin, who is a famous and respected business tycoon in the city. Her grandfather is too wealthy and powerful that even Laila is not aware of how large the man could control. But there is only one word that Laila knows, her grandfather is powerful and rich.

Laila’s father is the second son of Harvey Austin, Dean Austin. Dean Austin has several siblings. The eldest is Yulia Austin, whomarried Kyle Smith and has two children; Maine and Haley. The second eldest which is the first son, Gavin Austin, who married Dea Ringer and bore their only child, Vera Austin. Third is Dean Austin, who married the Laila’s mother, Claire Beaver and has a daughter, Laila Austin. Fourth is Katherine Austin, whomarried James Rivera and had the infamous triplet sons; Blake, Drake and Drake. Lastly is Vance Austin, who married Leia Gomez and had a son, Reid Austin.

Their family is quite known everywhere. They are all walking money machine. Laila’s old self seemed to be not interested in business field which is good. Laila is very hateful to her cousin, Vera, though. The woman seemed to be indifferent to Laila and everyone else. Vera is the only grandchild that their grandfather is close to. Laila also seemed to be scared of her grandfather.

Laila looks around and then she stands up, inspecting every single thing when suddenly the mirror catches her eyes. Laila smiled wickedly after seeing herself.

“What is a goddess? Oho…” Laila laughed maniacally, but still look so good. “That’s me!” And let out some big laughs.

She just stopped when she heard a knock from outside. Laila’s eyes widen as she nervously looked around. Her fingers start fidgeting as she brought it to her lips and start biting her nails. Laila breathes heavily before she starts to control herself.

“It’s okay. Okay, okay.” She whispers to herself as she said out loud, “Come in!”

The door opened up and a maid comes in. The maid first looks at the bedside of the room and was quite shocked when she saw Laila in the other corner.

“Ah, Miss Laila, your breakfast is ready. Should we get it in here or you want to be in the dining area?” The maid asks her.

Laila blinks once again before replying, “I’ll be in the dining room. Ah, can you prepare my bath?” She asks.

The maid looked at her confused before she replied yes and immediately prepare her bath before leaving.

“We will be preparing your breakfast in the dining area, then, Miss Laila.” The maid said before closing her door.

Laila immediately released her kept sighing for a moment before taking a bath. She then went to a room where her clothes are placed.

She stared at the shop-like closet of hers before laughing.

Well, ain’t this good?

Her closet room have mirrors everywhere, making the room look more spacious. There is a big chandelier at the center while small bulbs around the room. The room is in champagne color and the clothes are arranged by colors too. All shoes are on a different side of the room as well as the accessories.

“This is like a princess room. And to say that she doesn’t have that good relationship with her grandfather! What could have the Vera’s room look like?” Laila is pertaining to her old self.

She decided to wear a crop top hoodiejacket in a pale pink color and partnered it with a white joggers and some rose gold shoes. She applied a natural-look make-up before leaving her room.

“It’s a good thing that I know how to style myself up. Just remembering the old Laila’s style of dresses. Ugh! Gross!” She said to herself.

The old Laila loves thick make-up that she can’t even blend well. The girl is a literal make-up artist who doesn’t know how to use one properly. And her style of dresses are too extravagant to the point that it is a nuisance in the eyes of everyone.

“I hope people will not find me weird for changing almost everything about this brat.” She said to herself again.

Using the old Laila’s memory, she went to the dining area and there, she saw several dishes for one person with the candles and chairs on a table for 20 people.

A very long table…

Laila look around and found nothing.

No maids, no grandfather…

Oh, seems like I own this long table at this moment…

She take a sit at the chair in front of all the dishes and eat them.

Well, at least I won’t eat cup noodles anymore. And this dishes are legit! Hahaha!

Meanwhile in an office at the very top floor of Hydranze Company, an old yet prim looking man is listening to his secretary’s report.

“Sir, it seems like young miss is already done with her depressed state. The head butler said that young miss even decided to eat outside of her room.” The secretary said to the man.

“Mmm…” the old man replied, silently dismissing the secretary at the same time. The secretary put on the table the reports before leaving the room quietly as the old man continues on looking at the busy road of the city.

Suddenly a young woman enters the office.

“Grandpa.” The young woman called the old man.

The old man look at the young woman before nodding to her.

“What is it,Vera?” The old man asked the young woman.

“I’ve heard that Laila seems okay now. What will you do now?” Vera asks her grandfather.

The old man stares at Vera before looking at the busy road again then look at the billboard in front of tge building.

“She will decide what will I do to her.” The old man replied that shocked Vera.

The old man is actually giving her little cousin a chance to be with them…

Vera grinned before giggling.

“If that is what you wished for, grandpa.” She then left.
