"My name is 'Silvia Cross', Marcus send me here. I was asked to help you with your affairs." Silvia said

Zion was amazed at the girl who introduced herself as Silvia because it was she who supported Aurora to start 'Dawn'. This made Zion confused, 'if she was part of the army, why would she join Dawn in the end? There are things to know' thought Zion as he stared at her.

"Yes, I understand and he said you are very talented. I was wondering who you are. Moreover, trust me just because Marcus sends you that doesn't mean I swill trust you. The point I'm trying to say is that convince me you are not a spy." Zion said as he looked at her eyes. He didn't remove his eye contact and continued the staring.

This speech made the girl angry and she stared back at Zion, never in her life she had to face such a shame. She was talented and willing to go the extreme length to prove herself. No one doubted her military powers and the people who discriminated her based on age had to swallow their own words at the ability of Silvia.

Now a boy even though at the same age as she has told her to prove she is not a spy. This was the first time for Silvia to encounter such a question and she found it very humiliating.

"I was asked by my parents to help you organize your company which has yet to start and I don't have a clue about your firm. What is so secret about it? I have worked in top-secret projects of Silver city and your Company is 'as easy as pie'. I will let you know one thing that is never ever 'question my professionalism'."

Zion looked at the women as she explained herself. Zion didn't know much about Silvia, it was after Zion left the city 'Dawn' have started and her abilities known widespread. He was in a dilemma about Silvia as she was part of a military family and if he invited her to his core trustworthy group, he didn't know how would things end up.

It was also difficult to turn away Silvia, as she was sent here by Marcus to help him. He didn't know about the intentions of Marcus. Zion looked at her and said, "Well, I have no doubts about your ability, but the most important thing here is trust. If I'm going to accept you to my company then, I want you to be part of it. You couldn't leave in the middle of our journey and anything related to the company shall not be revealed to friends and family."

Zion paused and thought about something, he looked are and asked, "I want you to trust me and tell me about you."

Silvia was baffled by the honest talk of Zion. She never encountered a situation where she was actively invited to be a part of anything. They all seem too eager to send her away after all; her talent was a threat to these people who long played the game of bureaucracy.

She started to think about the pros and cons of the offer and decided to learn more about Zion, "What makes you qualify to be my boss and if I'm willing to follow you what should I expect?"

Zion laughed and said, "You will have my trust, but before anything, I like to know more about you."

"You should know my family name is 'Cross', I was with the 'Guardians' for a long time even before your siblings. I left the club to pursue my own dreams. Marcus requested me through my parents to help you out." Silvia let Zion understand more about her and the way in which she gets invited to be a part of his company.

"I have heard about you, it was never anything good. Therefore, I had my prejudice. You were nothing like what I have heard."

Zion understood that Marcus was not thinking about placing someone to watch over him. It should have been a pure gesture to help a friend, but Zion didn't regret doubting him. Nevertheless, he knew it was not wise enough to doubt everyone and everything around you. Like someone said, 'stupid is always sure while intelligent are full of doubt'.

"I hope I can trust you, and I need you. I have the technology, but no human resources and we must find them immediately. I will let you know about our company."

Zion walked with Silvia to take a seat under the tree. 'I guess this is going to be a sleepless night' thought Zion.

"I don't know whether Marcus told you anything about the company I'm starting. The parent company is called Zion enterprise and what you will have to manage are the defense department and pharmaceuticals." Zion let her know the basics of the company and made her familiar with key people she needs to know.

"In four days we will be conducting an expo, the one that this city has never seen. If I'm correct there will be a presence of many giants in the various industry. We cannot lose the luster and the expo must be a success."

"I have already the pharmaceuticals in my hand while the weapons are currently manufactured. The medicines are commercial and military grade. Any deep wound in our body could be healed in minutes, but obviously, there will certainly be marks left behind. We will introduce a face pack to heal any deformations in the skin and trust me in days you could see the effects."

Zion was very proud to introduce his products because there was no threat for him from the market. His products were many times superior to the average product you will find in the market. He was certain that this single product was enough to make a mark inside the common people. He was resolute to not make other cities take him lightly due to his age.

They will start to understand his value once they have seen the weaponry he will be producing. That respect was what he needed when he will be spreading the wings of his enterprise in the end. He never wanted to lose, neither shall he. Sometimes respect and fear can produce a result far greater than brute force.

While hearing the plans and products of the Zion intending to introduce to the market Silvia was struck and thought, 'perhaps Marcus and others never realized the value of this products'. She had a new found respect for this young entrepreneur who thinks big and has a will to execute it. Zion was also happy with getting a talented employee.
