“I’m Susan Writtle, and this is my boss, Mr. Blake Elon.” Susan introduced herself to the Mother.“I’m Gladis Gibson; thanks, you two, but it would seem you are in trouble because of us,” Gladis said, looking worried as the four men began to regain consciousness. “Not as much as you believe.” Blake chuckled.“It seems you are familiar with this, Don Leonard,” Susan said.“You’ll see when he arrives,” Blake answered, not saying much and being mysterious.No one in the restaurant left the scene, and neither did they make any orders as they all waited to see what would take place. It’s human nature to watch the suffering of others, and It didn’t take long for a fleet of cars to arrive.More than ten men in bodyguard suits with earpieces in an ear arrived and made way for a chubby middle-aged man who still held his stature for his age. He had gold rings and chains with his dark business suit and polished shoes. He walked in with a cane as he had a slight limp on his left leg. When his ey
The order took a while, but they had delivered the chicken and sauce first for David, and the Mother and son bid farewell as they left the facility with everyone staring at them for dodging such a trvesty in the making.Hearing Blake’s refusal, Don Leonard left with his son and bodyguards with no fanfare.Gladis entered her vehicle and buckled both her son and herself to make their way when she broke down and cried. She knew that she was in a dangerous position and only stopped crying when her phone rang.“Is everything alright?” She heard her husband on the other end.“Yes, we are fine.” She answered, wiping the remaining tear from her cheek.“I will need for you to get ready this afternoon; we have a large client coming to purchase our “Slap Your Face” spices.” Her husband said on the other end.“I have David is it alright?”“It will have to do for now. He is old enough that he can watch his old man in action.” Her husband said with a chuckle.“Okay, I’ll head over now; we have barb
With nothing they could do but lock up the building, Carol and Betty made their way to the real estate agency, where they could get into contact with the last owner, Mrs. Susan Hemingway.“You know, with everything Blake has gone through, do you think he also forgot that we were waiting on getting pregnant like Tabitha and Tabby?” Carol asked Betty as they drove to the real estate office.“With so much going on, it’s impossible that he remembers everything we discussed before Claire’s abduction,” Betty said, still concentrating on the road.“Sigh, yes, it’s been rough on Blake. He has already split himself into two to handle everything going on. Instead of placing another burden on him we need to work harder in our cultivation.” Carol said with certainty.Arriving at their destination, they both entered the building simultaneously, causing the workers to take notice of the two women. An assistant arrived before them and welcomed them.“Welcome. Are you looking for another building for
Tabitha let out a large sigh and rearranged her seat for the hundred times, It was becoming more uncomfortable as she was getting larger with the baby’s growth.“Where are those documents?” Mr. Pikes called out, walking towards Tabitha, who was trying to get into a comfortable position in her chair.“Right here, sir,” Tabitha said and handed the same documents he had handed her in the morning. Truthfully, she never reread them nor redo them. There was no need; they were done right the first time.“Very good; see to it that this doesn’t happen again.” Mr. Pikes said, going over the documents. And was satisfied with what he observed and quickly left Tabitha to her uncomfortable seating.Tabitha sighed again and began to get ready for the end of the work shift. All of a sudden, the baby within was protesting, and her little one began to kick up a storm. She had forgotten to eat lunch, and she smiled, placing her hand over her bulging belly.“Quiet, little one, we are going to go and get
“Maybe you should discuss this without the children around?” Danielle stated, looking at the children with stern eyes. She had been the nanny in charge of the children since they were babies. To her surprise, this family was never your average family. When Blake explained the situation to her, even though she was skeptical, there was no disputing the strange occurrences with the rapid growth of the children, but she accepted the outcome.“AWW.” The children protested.“Enough, behave, and eat your meals,” Consuela called out.The children were silent as they ate and behaved themselves, seeing the two most influential women in their lives had voiced their displeasure over their actions. Even though the women decided it was better to discuss this without the children involved. Some of their conversations spoke of their capability to see and hear the roaming spirits on Earth.“When I, Sylvia, and Blake went to his parent’s grave, we met with the old caretaker, and when I mean old, I mean
The two men looked at one another in disbelief. Two billion investment and a working factory? Were they dreaming? Who would even fathom such an outrageous condition?“Uhm, sir. What are you saying?” David asked with disbelief.“I’m willing to let you utilize a rather large spice factory and invest two billion into your product. Are you willing?” Blake asked, placing the tablet down for the men to see that there was a factory on the outskirts of Philidelphia being bought.For Blake, if they refused, he would only outright buy the recipe from the two and have others create the spice mix.“We will need a bit of time to discuss this. Please, if you don’t mind, David.” Hank said and rose from his seat and motioned for David to follow him out of the room.Taking this time that his Father left, David Jr. rushed to Blake and Susan.“Hey, fancy meeting you two here,” Blake said when Gladis and David walked up.“Sir, are you serious? Investing is such a product? There are millions on the market
“I believe you are acquainted with Phil Simon?” Blake asked suddenly.“I am; he and I met when I first arrived here in Philidelphia. He was the one who called to arrange this meeting.” Hank said, regaining his composure over what had taken place. “I will need to give him a commission for bringing you to us.”“No need. He will be working for me from now on.” Blake anounced. He was delighted with Phil’s performance so far. “If you need to get in contact over the delivery, he will be in charge.”“I understand,” Hank said.After a bit of arrangement of loose ends, Blake and Susan made their departure.“I didn’t know you hired Phil,” Susan said as they left the building.“I have, but he doesn’t know it yet,” Blake said with a chuckle.“Sir, Madam, please,” Phil said and opened the car door for them to enter.When everyone was seated, they disembarked from the area.“I hope the negotiations were pleasant,” Phil said, looking in the rearview mirror. He was hoping that his friend would benefi
Soon, there was a man with white and red flowing robes walking with two guards. He held a tablet with a quill. Showing an unappealing grin as he approached the carriage and attended people.“Miss. Chai Xuanlu, I presume?” The man asked with a knowing tone.“What is the meaning of this?” Xuanlu asked, pulling the notice off of her residence door and waving it in front of the man.“The taxes were not paid; it clearly states it in the notice, and the city has reclaimed its property.” The man said smugly.“Taxes? The taxes are not due until the end of next season. How could it be delayed?” Xuanlu asked, seeing a conspiracy happening here in the city.“The new Magistrate has issued a new tax law, and seeing no one from the Chai family available, has revoked your residence. He will be occupying it within a week’s time.” The tax collector stated with a smug look.“He will be taking up residence in my home?” Xuanlu asked with anger.“Correction, his home, you no longer own this property.” The
