Rick's Dilemma Chapter 28
The big day for RBG LLC had finally arrived. Debbie woke up early because she was so excited! This day would foretell the future of her company. If all went well, she could look forward to a prosperous future for the firm. Although she was a little nervous, Rick had assured her that everything would be OK. That was enough for her. Debbie had complete faith in him. Debbie threw a pillow at Rick and told him that it was time to get up and get ready for the opening ceremony. Rick yawned and said "It's not even 7 o'clock yet! Why are you beating me so early?" He had a gentle laugh at his wife. He knew just what today meant to her and completely understood how she was feeling. He had done everything he could behind the scenes to make this the perfect day for his wife. His sole goal in life had become to ensure her happiness. The event at RBG LLC was to begin at 10 o'clock. So they had plenty of time to get ready, then have a good breakfast. Rick had asked the butler Li Fan to act

Alice took Lois to see their mother in the hospital. Most of their siblings were at work at this time. So only Howard was there. He knew that Lois would show up today and wanted to see if she was going to help with the medical expenses. As soon as he saw Lois he said "You finally made it! I'm so glad that you could come. I've been so worried about Mother. But she seems better today. Let's go in now." Lois was shocked to see her mother in such a condition. Her mother was laying in bed with tubes running in both arms and monitor wires on her chest. She even had an oxygen mask on her face. She looked so pitiful. Lois was moved to tears upon seeing her. She said to her Mother "Mom, I'm here! Can you speak?" Her mother was awake and looked over at Lois and said "I'm so sorry to bring you here. I didn't mean to disrupt your life like this. I'll be OK. The doctor's have been taking good care of me these last few days. I may be able to go home soon." Her mother really was sorry to caus

Just as Debbie was headed to the podium to give her welcome speech, she saw her two uncles out of the corner of her eye. She nudged Rick and said "That looks like trouble!" Rick glanced over and saw the two men nervously looking around the room. He had to agree with Debbie's accessment of the situation. Rick replied to Debbie "Wait a moment before you start your speech. Let me go over and find out what they are doing here. I don't remember their names being on the guest list." So Rick casually walked over to Brad and William Blain and said "I'm surprised to see you both here. Was there something you needed?" Brad was already covered in sweat. He was very uncomfortable being around so many of the people that the Blain family once did business with. He looked up at Rick and said "We just wanted to see how Debbie was doing with the old firm. Is she available for a chat?" Rick had an idea what the two wanted to chat about, and thought that today was not the day to have that di

Rick was not a vindictive person, but Debbie's uncles were threatening her with ruin because of their own greed. This was an intolerable situation that must be remedied as soon as possible. And by any means neccessary. He pulled Old Wilson aside and asked "Did you hear everything?" Old Wilson replied "Yes Young Master I did. I think that we need to teach these scumbags a lesson if we are to keep them quiet. What do you want me to do with them?" Rick thought for a few minutes and said "Do what ever you think is best. I trust your judgement. Spend whatever you have to for this threat to go away." "I understand Young Master. It will be done." Outside the back entrance of the RBG LLC office building the body guards had just finished beating up the two brothers. As they begged for mercy, Brad was full of regret for having come here today. His only thought had been on how to get his income back without having to actually go to work. He felt that his status was enough to force

Debbie and Rick came back downstairs to rejoin the party. The lobby was packed with the elite of Fing City. As Debbie stepped up to the podium, everyone fell silent to hear what she had to say. Debbie started off with "I'd like to welcome everyone here to today to help us celebrate the opening of the new RBG LLC Accounting firm. We wish to thank you all for coming out. I hope everyone enjoys themselves and that we will become your "go to" accounting service in the future. " She continued on with the speech that she had stressed over for the last week. It introduced everyone to the many options that RBG LLC offered to the business community, as well as personalized taylored services for unique circumstances. She finished with "So, circulate and greet old friends and make some new ones too! Thank you!" The crowd burst into applause and began talking to each other once again. The opening seemed to be a great success. Debbie was pleased to see everyone on her guest list had sho

The day had gone extremely well. Except for Debbie's uncles, it could not have been better. Several reporters had asked for interviews with the new Chairman and pictures had been taken. Rick and Debbie were proud to be seen as news worthy. But there was a problem that neither of them foresaw. With notoriety came exposure. A lot of people now knew who was behind the Blain family demise. Rick and Debbie had unwittedly exposed their identity too by registering Ting Gap in the RBG name. Even though it was not an asset of RBG LLC, people were starting to put two and two together. This was not lost on the Green family back in Tang. It drew attention to the couple by people back in Tang. The news spread quickly that there was a new player in the business world that had potenial. The Green family sent out covert operatives to find out just what Rick was up to. Even though they were a first tier family in Tang, they were one of the most devious around. They would not stand for anyone disrep

Now that the opening had been a success, Debbie and Rick were getting ready to go to Jelang village to check on her grandmother. Debbie had not heard from Lois since she left. She decided to give her mother a call before they left to get an idea of what to expect when they arrived. So Debbie took out her phone and placed the call to her mother. Lois answered almost immediately. "It's about time you called! I have been waiting. When are you coming to Jelang? Is that good for nothing husband of yours coming as well? Don't forget you promised to take care of Mom's medical bills!" Debbie was almost sorry now that she had called. It was typical Lois. Nothing was ever good enough for her. She replied "Mom, we will be there tonight. We are driving up as soon as we are packed. Do we need to reserve an hotel for our stay? And how is Grandma?" Lois was just impatient for her daughter to come. She was almost out of money. She had almost $10,000 when she arrived, but had taken her bro

Rick was speechless. If this were true, it would be the best news he had ever gotten. It would put the news of his inheritance to shame. Nothing could be more glorious than this! He finally found his voice again and said to Debbie "Are you sure? Should we be making this trip? " Debbie smiled and said "I'm not really sure. That's why I want to stop at the hospital to have a pregnancy test. If it is true, there is no reason not to still go to Jelang. Let's go ahead and pack the car and get going!" Rick called out to Li Fan to come take the luggage out to the car. As they were leaving Ting Gap, Rick said to Li Fan "I'll call you when we get to Jelang. And again when we leave so you will know when to expect us back. Thank you Li Fan." Then Rick got in the car and drove to Fing City Hospital. Once they arrived at the hospital, they went to the OB/GYN department and registered for an examination. After they got into the exam room, Rick noticed how nervous Debbie was. In an effort t

Rick's Dilemma Chapter 332
It was a sad day for Rick. Today, he was to bury his beloved mentor, Old Wilson. Old Wilson had been frail, and his health had declined slowly. If someone didn't see him every day, they would notice a vast difference . But since Rick would go down to see his old friend regularly, he did not realise just how bad Old Wilson had gotten. It was on such a visit that Rick found Old Wilson sitting in his favorite chair out in his back garden. At first Rick just thought he was asleep, as Old Wilson would nap out there almost every day. But after sitting down beside him, Rick finally realised that Old Wilson had passed on. It broke Rick's heart. Old Wilson had left instructions as to what he wanted done after his death. He asked that Rick bury him next to Ruth, his wife, and their son, Christopher. It was out in the countryside, north of Fing City. Rick had made all of the arrangements, and that morning, he and Debbie headed out. He had made the announcement of Old Wilson's death to the com

After the kidney transplant, Debbie's health improved tremendously. She had regained her strength and stamina to the point that she was able to resume her duties at RBG LLC. Over the years, she had expanded offices in all of the major cities in the south. Every big company clamoured to have RBG LLC handle their accounting needs. It became a status symbol to have Debbie work for them. After such a huge expansion, Debbie and Rick had set their sights in a more global presence. So they started with Cairo, Eygpt. Since Anita had done such a good job organising that pharmaceutical office years ago, it had become the premier branch of RBG Pharmaceuticals. So it was a natural place to start the global expansion of RBG LLC. Rick and Debbie spent several months in Cairo setting up the branch, and even acquired a residence in Eygpt. It was an expansive villa right on the banks of the river Nile. Larry had designed it to reflect the location and local culture. The villa was named 'Alhudu

As time flew by, Lois had been in Jelang and had been doing very well with her shop 'Second Chance'. The local population had, for the most part, forgotten about her sordid past. She was a valued member of the business community. Last yesr, she had been nominated to run for the local Chamber of Commerce Chairman. She was of course flattered to be nominated, but was very surprised when she actually won the position. It was the peak of her life to have been given this post. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine that she would reach such a height in her life. Even though it was just in a small village such as Jelang, the fact that she was overwhelmingly the popular choice humbled her even more. Rick and Debbie both were just so proud of Lois, and even came to her investiture ceremony, along with all of the rest of the Thomas family. Howard had really been putting his all into the Thomas Shelter. Along the way, he met a very nice lady, who had come in for an interview fo

The day dragged on as George frantically looked for his missing man. Since the man had no pockets, he didn't have his cell phone on him. So he could not call the general to tell him what was going on. He had all of his contact numbers in his phone, so he had not bothered to memorize any of them. After a long afternoon of being interrogated by the police, they at last let him make a call. He decided to call the resort, and if nothing else, he could leave a message for his boss. After this was done, the jailer put the man in a cell to wait for further instructions from the police Chief in charge. George finally went to the front desk to ask the desk clerk where the nearest police station was, thinking that it was a place to start looking, and to file a missing person's report. The desk clerk then remembered to give him the message that had come in for him, and it just so happened to be from his missing man. George went and sought out Matthew and Rick to accompany him to the p

After ensuring Su Ma had everything that she needed, the group left to return to the yacht. They were to spend the next few days at sea. Everyone was back on board, then they set off for their next port of call, Manilla, Philippines. It was an exotic port, and nothing like anything any of the group had experienced before. They had a wonderful time seeing all of the sights. Then they set sail for Singapore, Malaysia. This trip was a smorgasbord of many different cultures and sights, not to mention landscapes. Singapore was a bustling city, full of high end shopping centers with branded stores, as well as the local cultural sights. Museums, art galleries and the like. The kids especially liked the Singapore Zoo. It was filled with all of the animals that they had studied in school. The adults were partial to the Singapore Botanical Gardens and the National Orchid Garden. They all enjoyed the trip to China Town. It was a taste of home for them, but in a different way. There was really

The years had flown by. The Greens had expanded their businesses in every direction. The most profitable were the ocean shipping company and the pharmaceuticals. Medical supplies was running a close third. Rick was planning a big suprise for the kids' ninth and tenth birthdays next month. They had grown so much, and still all of them got along so well with each other. Li Fan had gone on to be a managing director of one of Rick's local offices, and he was proud of his work. His son, Ricky, was looking more and more like him every day. Alice was a very good mother. Ricky had grown up with the Green children, and seemed more like one of the siblings, rather than just a cousin. George and Anita's daughter Leah was also part of the "tribe". Since George paid close attention to the security of Ting Gap, Leah had grown up in the house as well. It was an exclusive daycare that Rick and Debbie were proud to provide for the two kids. All of the Green kids were very protective of them

General Han gathered all of the evidence that he had collected and called his friend at the police station. They sent the fraud investigation team over right away to go over the documents. They agreed with George that this was an embezzlement case, cut and dried. After informing Debbie and Rick of their findings, Debbie called a meeting of those involved. The head of personel walked into the conference room, stopped dead in his tracks and turned to flee. He was stopped by the security guards at the door. He was made to sit down and shut his mouth. Next, the other two culprits walked in together, chatting with each other. They sat down across from the upper managment team and waited. George introduced everyone. "Mr. Waits is the head of personel, this is Mr. Floyd, head of accounting, and that is Mr. Grooms, the managing director. Gentlemen, this is Mrs. Green, CEO of RBG LLC. The man next to her is Mr. Green, Chairman and owner of the RBG Group. Then we have Mr. Moore, Vice Pr

The crowd outside the venue were so excited to see their favorite stars and public officals as they arrived at the gala. The men dressed in tuxedos and the beautiful gowns that the women wore were worth standing in the night air to see. All of the attendees made use of a step-and-repeat banner set up for press photos. These glamour shots would been seen all over the media in the coming days. But the most stunning had been Debbie in all of her finery. Her jewels shone like the stars in the heavens. They cast a glow around her like nothing else could. The evening was filled with surprises, and a lot of money was raised for the Green Children's Foundation. Brandon was thrilled with both the turnout and the donations total. It had been a very successful night. The day after the gala, everybody at the Green villa slept in late. They only got up in time for a scumptous brunch prepared by Chef Matthew. It was well worth dragging themselves out of bed for. Then everyone started to get
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 324
Once again, the Thomas family came together for a family weekend. The highlight of the weekend was of course the gala for the Green Children's Foundation. Since Jonathan and Betty lived in Beijing, they were to be included in all of the festivities as well. Rick and Debbie loved having their family around them, and this weekend was no exception. Rick and Debbie's Beijing villa was not as big as Ting Gap, but no less opulent. After all, Larry had done the design work and supervised the work himself. It was large enough to hold most everyone coming from out of town. Lois, Rebecca, the Old Thomas', Howard, Heyward and his wife , Aunt Alice and Li Fan and of course Matthew and Brandon. So the Green mansion was full to the brim. Matthew decided to cook on the first night of the gathering. Dinner on that Friday night was a master piece of culinary delights. Matthew rarely got to indulge himself in the kitchen of late, so he went all out to prepare a meal fit for a royal banquet. His dish
