Rick's Dilemma Chapter 51
Of course Howard answered the call right away! He had been anticipating Lois's call. He had already bragged to the family that Lois had gotten him a job with RBG LLC. He invisioned himself with a high power position since he was Debbie's uncle. He just knew that he was destined to have a high salary and would be rising in the firm very quickly. So he greeted Lois very warmly when he answered the call. "Hello elder sister! I have been waiting for your call! Has everything been arranged at the firm? When should I come to Fing City? Have Debbie and that good for nothing husband of hers prepared my room yet?" Lois sighed heavily and replied "I am so sorry Howard. There is no position open in the firm at this time. It looks like I spoke too soon. But I'm sure that we may be able to work something out in the future!" Debbie just shook her head and said loud enough for her Uncle Howard to hear "Tell him the truth Mom!" Howard was confused when he heard Debbie's remark. "What does

Lois could not believe what Rick had just said and done. "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my brother that way!? You obviously have no respect for your elders. And Debbie, how can you stand by and let this piece of trash speak to your uncle like that? How will I ever be able to face any of them again?" Rick looked over at Debbie and said sheepishly "Are you upset with me for talking to Uncle Howard that way? I just could not hold it in any longer." Debbie could not hold her emotions in any longer either. She burst out laughing. It took her a minute to get herself under controll. Finally she said "How could I be mad at you? I was about to say the same things to him! He deserved every single word you said and more!" Then she laughed for several more minutes. Lois just couldn't understand why her daughter thought that the situation was so funny. After this, Lois would not be able to face the family again. She usually went to Jelang for New Year's every year. But

Rick looked down and reluctantly said in a very soft voice "The day after tomorrow." "What!?! How am I to find a month's worth of clothes and have them ready in just two days? Are you crazy? But of course you are! No man knows just what it truly takes for a woman to be properly dressed. But for a whole month's worth of clothes? I don't know about this..." Rick piped up "Well, I may have a solution for you. Since we are going to the capitols of Europe were fashion is a big business, why not just buy a new wardrobe along the way? You can also pick up some maternity clothes while you're at it. Since we want to keep the news of the baby under wraps as long as possible, buying maternity wear in Europe would keep the gossip down here in Fing City. What do you think?" Debbie thought about this carefully. "Well, you're right that this idiotic plan of yours would keep the gossip down here at home. But how are we going to transport all of those clothes home? The airlines restrict how

Old Wilson had been talking to General Han about Rick's upcoming trip. He was worried about Madame's safety while Rick was working. So Old Wilson asked the general's opinion of what should be done. General Han said "I believe that we should send a few men with them. We can tell Madame Green that they are for Mr. Green's protection. I think that she will buy that explanation." Old Wilson nodded in agreement. But there was one thing that kept coming back to his mind. That was, how did Roy Green know when Rick and Debbie had returned from their journey to Jelang. From what Rick had told him, they drove straight back to Ting Gap, after dropping Debbie's mother off at her apartment. There must be a spy somewhere in Silver Hill. He relayed his concerns to General Han. To which he replied "The only way this could have been done, was if one of the guards at the gate or one on the crew at Ting Gap is our spy. I'll look into the matter." Old Wilson was happy to leave the matter with the

Old Wilson knew Rick well enough to know when he was happy. "I take it that Madame has agreed to the trip. That is good news. I do have some news for you about the tour. The Athens office has asked that you pay them a visit as well. With all of the uproar there, it would be comforting to do so. It will only be for a day, then I have a surprise for the two of you for a finale for the trip. If you are agreeable with the Athens stop, I will inform them soon." Rick did not care either way since Debbie was going to accompany him, so he readily agreed to Old Wilson's plan. Rick was more interested in Old Wilson's surprise! "One other thing Young Master, General Han and I agree that you should take a couple of your security detail with you on this trip. There will be times that you will be seperated from Madame and she will need protection, especially in a forgien country. We can just say that they are expected in these countries, and Madame need be none the wiser." Rick had alrea

The next day, Debbie had gone to the office to tie up loose ends before leaving on the European tour with Rick. She planned to leave work early to go home and finish packing. Mid-morning Lois showed up at her office. After knocking on Debbie's office door, Lois walked in. "Debbie! What is this I hear about you going away for a few weeks? Where are you going and why did you not tell me?" Debbie replied "Mom, I was going to come by your office on my way out to tell you. Rick has some business to take care of in Europe, and he has asked me to accompany him on the tour. It will be like the honeymoon that we never got to take five years ago. Don't worry, Old Wilson will be around to take care of things here." Lois was very jealous. "Why don't you let me come too! We could make it a family trip together! I have always wanted to travel to Europe. It would be a great time." "No, Mom. This time is for just Rick and I to spend together. Although Rick will have to work part of the tim

Old Wilson had been out most of the day running errands. When he got back home, General Han was waiting for him. Upon seeing the general, Old Wilson said "Hello General, do you have anything to report?" General Han replied "Yes I do. We have discoved the spy in our midst! As I thought, it was one of the guards at the gate. I have him downstairs as we speak. Shall we go down and question him now?" Old Wilson was glad that the spy had been cuaght. As they approached the cell, the spy yelled out " What right do you have to detain me? Do you think that Silver Hill will allow this to go unpunished?" The general scoffed at the pitiful figure in the cell. "We have every right! Do you not know that Rick Green owns the developement company that built Silver Hill? And it is his company that pays your salary? Since you are the spy that almost brought harm to Madame Green, if you cooperate fully, we may go easier on you. If not, well don't blame us for being nasty!" The prisoner aske

Lois was in a very foul mood when she arrived home to Sun Down Estates that night. After Debbie's attitude the day before yesterday concerning Howard, she was pissed off to the extreme. She knew that her family would not let her hear the end of this matter. As Lois was finishing her dinner, she recieved a phone call from her brother Howard. "Hello Howard! I was just thinking about you." Howard was not ready to give up his day dream of moving to Fing City and becoming a rich businessman. But, of course it all depended on his neice hiring him on at RBG LLC. So he decided to try persuading Lois one more time to help. "I just wanted to talk to you about Debbie's attitude. Is there nothing that you can do to convince her to hire me? It really is very disrespecful of her holding some grudge against the family. That good for nothing husband of hers has really clouded her judgement." "Howard, you have to understand that even though Debbie is the Chairman of the company, it's Rick

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
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 326
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
