" — in our organization," Aurelia completed her sentence ignoring the deep pit that had formed half an inch to her side by the immense strength of the Field Marshal. She knew this might be the Field Marshal's warning shot yet she chose to believe her boss's words and complete what she prepared to say risking her life.

Listening to the loud noise, Cindy and Diana who were waiting outside the gymnasium rushed in worried for their boss. "Boss, you okay?" Diana asked looking at the pit next to Aurelia and Wyatt.

"Did the contractor do a lousy job? But it was fine earlier," Cindy said, with no hostile in sight.

"Leader, the boss just fired the intern for doing a lousy job so she is acting up," Aurelia said pointing at the Field Marshal.

Listening to Aurelia address the Field Marshal as an intern and blame her of doing a lousy job, Cindy and Diana's eyes widened as if they heard a banshee's scream. Diana immediately yelled, "Shut up, you stupid girl. You have no idea the forces you are messing with. If you are tired of living then, do it at your own expense don't involve our boss in it."

"Yes, he hasn't lived enough. He has yet to enjoy the pleasure the world has to offer," Cindy backed Diana with her ambiguous words. Then feeling her boss's blank stare she quickly added, "That senior is not someone you can disrespect. Apologize quickly."

"Don't worry leader, I know that is the Field Marshal in disguise. Regardless of her title and achievements in her previous job, she is still an unpaid intern who joined our organization just this morning. You guys have seniority over her— I'm sorry, you guys had seniority over her since the boss just fired her for being a lousy intern. It is because you two pampered her that she had gone astray and forgotten her duties," Aurelia blamed Diana and Cindy for the Field Marshal's actions.

Then, shaking her head Aurelia looked at the Field Marshal in pity and said, "Sigh, intern don't feel sad as you senior we have failed to teach you to do your duty properly maybe in your next job you will learn from the mistakes here, respect your seniors, and learn everything they have to offer."

Diana and Cindy were in shock listening to Aurelia's words, it only intensified when they learned she had spoken those words despite knowing the Field Marshal's identity. Their bodies suddenly felt like they were inside a sauna and began to sweat through their office suits. They wanted to stop Aurelia from spouting further nonsense but their body would not listen. Their jaw was shut and their tongues were dry. They suddenly felt thirsty seeing their dooms flash before their eyes.

"You really are your mother's daughter," the Field Marshal responded with a smile finally having completed her contemplation.

"Yes, I am. My mother taught me well. I could have taught you a thing or two but it was not meant to be. Intern let's part our ways without creating a scene," Aurelia advised the Field Marshal, and then turning to look at Wyatt she asked, "Boss, the intern did a lousy job but it is not my fault. So, I will still get the bonus you promised me, right?"

"Yes, you will since you have performed extraordinarily. Tell you what, keep this up and I might let you lead the Bright Lions security agency," Wyatt was impressed by Aurelia's work so far, she was the best sidekick one could ask for. Now with someone who understood him like her by his side, he would not have to do everything alone. Taking Aurelia as an example Wyatt was thoroughly impressed by the Malvin Family whose merits were only second to the Heatsend Royal family in the Southern Watch. That to because they held back otherwise they would have long suppressed them.

"Great, you are the best boss," Aurelia praised, and then turning to the Field Marshal she said, "You haven't left yet? Don't tell me you plan on begging to get your old job back. Don't be like that. Try applying next year if I get promoted to the upper management rank by then I will hire you under me. What do you say?"

"Girl, don't you ever run out of saliva?" the Field Marshal asked Aurelia, indirectly saying that she talked too much.

"Aren't you too happy for someone who just got fired?" Aurelie remarked.

The Field Marshal ignored Aurelia and looking at Wyatt she said, "You did not bet on the wrong person."

"I don't care if you have annulled the wager but I have promised to give my undying loyalty to you if I lost the wager. Here I am, doing just that," the Field Marshal stepped closer to Wyatt, and reaching him she prepared to get down on one knee but an invisible force stopped her from doing so. For her strength, the invisible force was as fragile as glass but since it belonged to Wyatt she did not break it instead followed it and stood straight.

Wyatt looked at the Field Marshal with a disappointed look and shaking his head he decided to address her, "I don't know what you think you are doing but I don't need your loyalty. Was I not clear enough when I annulled the wager?"

"It is no longer up to you. You should have thought of that before asking for it in return for winning the wager. Now that you have won the wager, I will honor my promise and give you my undying loyalty," the Field Marshal said bringing up her honor.

"What wager? What part of the annulment don't you understand? I declared it as invalid, so you owe me nothing," Wyatt replied in annoyance.

"Wyatt, stop with the charades. We both know that a wager cannot be annulled by a single party, all parties involved need to agree on that. You might have agreed to annul the wager but I have not."

"Now why would you do that?"
