Rick's Dilemma Chapter 71
In Jelang, Alice was starting to pack up her household in preperation for her move to Fing City. She knew that she would only have her own private bedroom, so she was only taking personal items with her. Her house was not large but was big enough to house a small family. Alice was also looking to her future and had decided to rent out her house to save some money for her retirement. Since the home was located close to her parents and siblings, they could keep an eye on it for her. After all the bragging that Howard had done about getting a high position at RBG LLC before he and Shirley had left for Fing City a few weeks ago, everyone was shocked to see the couple return to Jelang. Howard had nothing good to say about Lois or Debbie when asked. No one had been able to find out exactly what had happened. Privately, he did not really blame Lois, but she was the one to encourage him in all of this mess. He just couldn't seperate his feelings of discontent from anyone in Fing City, mea

Racheal Madison had been stuggling with her job at work. It seemed that a few people had found out about her relationship with James. No one actually said anything in her hearing, but it was the way certain executives of the company would look at her. Some even made provocative remarks to her. She was on edge when around groups now. She had always had a confidence about her that assured her co-workers. Now, she had become a bit reserved around them. This latest project that the Chairman had given her meant that she had to interact with the new clients directly. One was a Mr. Ed Moss. He was the Chairman of Moss Inc. Their main business was real estate. He happened to be the owner of the company that had developed Wong Manor (Mistress Hill). At this time, he was sitting in Racheal's office. "So Mr. Moss, what can I do for you today" Racheal was a little hesitant. Mr. Moss looked at Racheal with a sneer on his face. "Well for starters, you can call me Ed. I remember you from whe

It was Rick's last meeting in Athens, as well as the last of the whole trip. He felt like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. The rest of the time was free to enjoy with his wife. He had just one more thing to do before heading back to the hotel. He still had to find a peice of jewerly for Debbie. In London he had gotten the diamond necklace, in Paris it was the diamond earrings, in Rome he got a ruby and diamond bracelet and in Cairo Rick found an exquisite rudy and diamond brooch. He had been wondering what else he could find to round out this set with. Then it came to him as he saw a couple on the street having wedding photos taken. When he and Debbie had gotten married five years ago, he could not afford an engagment ring. All he could get her was a plain gold band. So that was his goal today. He wanted to find the perfect diamond engagment ring to let Debbis know that he had not forgotten those lean times. His driver had been in this business a long time, and had se

The next day on the way to the bridal store to pick out a dress for Debbie to wear on their photo shoot, Rick asked the driver to stop at the photographer's shop first. When they arrived, the man who was to take the pictures met them at the door. "Are you Mr. and Mrs. Green? Please come in and let's talk about the plans for today." The couple followed the man to his office. His name was Harry Jones. He was a congenial man with a nice personality. Harry sat the couple down and explained what he had in mind for their photos. Debbie was excited to get started. Harry would accompany them to the bridal store to get some snaps of Debbie picking out and trying on her dress. Rick asked Debbie to go out into the show room to look at some of Harry's work. He held Harry back to ask him a favor. Rick told him what he had in mind to kick off the day. Harry was fine with Rick's plan. "So shall we get started?" Harry asked the two. Debbie replied "Oh yes, please!" She was really excited ab

Rick called Old Wilson that night to inform him of when they would be returning to Fing City. "Hello old friend! Thank you so much for this time in Santorini. This has been an awesome respite before the long trip home. We will be returning to Fing City in three days. Would you be so kind as to have Li Fan meet us at the airport? We will also need a delivery van to transport all of our luggage. Debbie and I have made a few purchases while in Europe, and there is no way to fit everything into a car trunk!" Old Wilson was glad to hear that they had a good time. He was also looking forward to their return to Fing City. He had much to discuss with his Young Master. "I am looking forward to hearing all about your adventures! And I will be glad to have you back home. We have a lot to talk about, since so much has happened while you have been away." With so many renovation projects underway, Old Wilson wanted Rick's input on all of them. The basic reconstruction of the old Green Villa

The next two weeks saw a lot of changes. First, Rick and Debbie returned to Fing City. Their trip had been a huge success for Rick. Debbie had a new wardrobe and some maternity clothes. The couple had made a lot of memories together over the course of the tour. The day after their return, Old Wilson set up a meeting with his Young Master. He had so much to discuss with Rick. "Young Master! It is good to have you home. Shall we make a start on what's been happening since you have been away?" Rick had asked Old Wilson to come to Ting Gap for this meeting. Debbie was going to need a few days rest after the long trip home, and Rick wanted to be close by in case she needed anything. He took Old Wilson out by the pool so that they would not be over heard. "It's good to be home, Old Friend! Before we start on business, I have some news for your ears only. Debbie is carrying triplets! All boys. I can't seem to get my head around it yet." Old Wilson was amazed. "That is wonderful ne

Debbie had reluctantly called her mother after resting a while. The trip had been very exciting, but also very draining. She and Rick had decided that it was time to tell Lois about the pregnancy. They knew that she would be put out if she heard it from someone else. Debbie asked her to dinner at Ting Gap. Lois was hoping to put her devious plan into action soon, so this invitation might be just the time. When Lois arrived, Li Fan showed her out to the pool house where Debbie and Rick were already seated. They greeted Lois a bit stiffly, but Lois saw a few wrapped presents on a nearby table, so she didn't say much. "So how was your trip? Did everything go well?" Debbie and Rick took turns retelling their adventures while Lois listened enviously. Then Debbie handed Lois a few gifts that they had brought back for her. A labled handbag from Paris, an Egpytian scarf and a small pearl necklace from Greece that they had found on Santorini. Lois was impressed. Now it was time to b

While Old Wilson was still at Ting Gap, he had something to discuss with both Debbie and Rick. "Young Master, since you are both here, there is something that I must bring to your attention. I had a conversation with Ms. Madison at the office the other day. She has some concerns about her position. It seems one of the new clients, a Mr. Moss, intimidated her and made certain suggestions. He threatened to expose her if she didn't give in to his demands. I know of her background of course, so this kind of thing was bound to come up. My question is, how do you want to handle it?" Rick looked to Debbie for her views on the matter. Debbie sat in thought for a few moments. "Ms. Madison is an excellent worker. She leads her department with the utmost dignity. There is no room for disrespect from fellow employees or our clients where she is concerned. I will not have her targeted for this or any other reason. I am open to suggestions from either of you on how to deal with Mr. Moss and any

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
