MAURICE'S POV

“This is one big risk you're taking Maurice. Are you sure you've thought this through?” Sam asked for the umpteen time. His voice had a warning tone over the phone.

I had just called him to tell him about my decision to go along with the suggestion Glenda had given me. Although I never mentioned the idea came from Glenda.

Sam had been impressed with the idea but not without endlessly stating his fears if things were to go south.

“We are businessmen Sam, we thrive by taking risks, don't we?”

“But this is one hell of a risk.” Sam stated.

“I know, but think of it. If Ed decides to take his business elsewhere, we won't even be having any risks to take. How about that?” I countered.

There was silence from Sam's end. He seemed to give it another thought given my insistence on going with the plan.

“Alright. As it is, we don't have many other choices.” He finally said in resignation.

“That's what I thought…”

Sam sighed. “Fingers crossed then. I hope we hit it with this… Thanks
