New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 769 - Who is She?

"Miss Lianne, if you please," Beatrice called out gently, indicating a fingerprint scanner that she had taken out.

Lianne, who\'s curiosity was at its peak, placed her finger on the scanner while Beatrice started cl.i.c.k.i.n.g on the keyboard, her eyes glued to the computer screen.

"All ten fingers, please," Beatrice instructed and Lianne did as she was told.

While Beatrice was busy doing that, she asked, "Who are the ones that Kay called for?"

Then, she quickly added, "If that\'s okay for me to ask, of course."

"It\'s no secret," Beatrice assured her, "It\'s just Ms. Kay\'s Team. Something like Sir\'s Team."

Lianne was surprised, then thought she shouldn\'t be.

Mama\'s life was certainly getting more and more interesting. She wanted to know more about this Team of theirs, but who could she ask?

Mama wasn\'t around and Kay would be busy. Lianne wasn\'t the type to gossip or dig for information, so she decided to just wait until they went home before she asked Kay.

After Beatrice was done, she told Lianne that she could now use the VIP lift and was allowed entry without needing to make an appointment. Just leave her name at the reception desk below and go up.

"I\'ll get your security clearance pass ready," Beatrice continued to explain, "Keep that with you while being in the Smith Industries. It also works as a cash card, so you can use it to buy food in the cafeteria below."

Lianne nodded.

"Is the entire floor the CEO\'s floor?" Lianne asked curiously.

There didn\'t seem to be a lot of people on this floor, and it appeared to be more like a hotel lounge rather than an office. There was a reception desk, lots of nice-looking sofas for people waiting.

It actually reminded her of that show, \'Suits\'… but with less people and more fancy looking furniture.

"Yes," Beatrice replied.

"Can I explore this floor then?" Lianne asked politely.

"Of course," Beatrice replied, "Once the card is ready, I\'ll let you know and you can go about the other areas in the building."

"Okay," Lianne agreed.

They exchanged numbers and then Lianne went into the CEO\'s room after knocking on the door.

As Lianne entered, Kay asked her, "What do you want to do here? Just observe?"

"Explore, I suppose," Lianne said.

Though she generally did not like to interact and be in crowds, her curiosity overrode her usual social distancing issues. It wasn\'t too bad in the building either, since people were here to work and not mingle around.

Just then, Beatrice\'s voice came over the intercom, "Ms. Kay, they\'re here."

"Send them in," Kay instructed then looked at Lianne with a smile.

"You should meet them as well," she said.

"Who are they?" Lianne asked.

"My Team," Kay explained, "Like how Zero and the others are to Kyle, this Team is to me."

Kyle\'s Team was initially for them when they were growing up but essentially, they were to help the CEO i.e. Kyle. Kay needed her own team as well. In preparation for that, Kyle had created a new team for Kay, coincidentally, a year before his sudden departure to Country M.

His plans was pushed forward and her team had to be pushed into the deep waters as well when he left. The training was put upon the shoulders of Kyle\'s team that he left behind.

Kyle\'s Team were not happy, to be honest.

They had always been the Smith Twins Elite Team and to know that they were going to split up made them unhappy. It was bad enough that they couldn\'t follow him, but now, they had to \'give Kay up\' to another.

However, they respected Kyle\'s decision and followed the orders. Deep down, they also knew it was for the best, but it didn\'t mean that they could be happy about it.

Kay gestured to Lianne to stand beside her as her team entered.

She saw that it was a group of four people. Two girls and two guys. Unlike Kyle\'s team that was always in suits, this group was not as synchronised.

Kay guessed what was going on in Lianne\'s mind and she said, "Kyle\'s team was created when we were kids, whereas mine is relatively new. So they\'re not as stoic as Kyle\'s team."

Or as deathly loyal.

Not to say that Kay\'s team wasn\'t loyal, but the level that Kyle\'s team was at, was not something that could be copied. In fact, Kay could confidently say that every single person in Kyle\'s team had crazy loyalty to them, whereas for her team?

They were capable and loyal, but only the leader was truly at the same level of loyalty as Kyle\'s team. Kay didn\'t mind, though, as it was enough. Unknown to them, Kyle\'s team also monitored Kay\'s team, by working together with Kay\'s leader.

Her team came in and greeted Kay politely and respectfully, while Kay smiled and nodded to them.

She gestured towards Lianne and said, "This is Lianne Yang, one of the children that Kyle has decided to sponsor. She and her brother Joseph will have a status higher than Dahlia."

Lianne noted the curious glances that fell upon her, but she ignored them just like how she did when she noticed them from everyone at the lower floors.

"Lianne, this is Agent Milk, the leader of my team," Kay said, "Then, we have Milo, Coffee and Tea."

Lianne blinked.

She turned towards Kay, "Seriously?"

"Seriously," Kay replied with a straight face.

Turns out, her rather bad naming sense became a trend amongst MIB.

"Of course, those are only their codenames," Kay replied, "I don\'t use them nor refer to them as such here. When they are undercover, then those are the codenames that are being used."

Kay\'s team was flabbergasted and listened to everything in shock.

The way Kay revealed their codenames to Lianne meant that her security level clearance was high.

But she was just a kid!

Who was she, really??
