One-fifteen Brent concluded the Shareholders meeting when the knock came, "Come in."
When Miss John enters, "Sir, you have a phone call."
Brent was already tired and now this interruption. Lystra noticed the angry expression, becoming aggrieved but that stupid woman was stubborn. Now he seemed displeased with my appearance,
"Did you get the caller's name?" Brent was holding his peace observing the Shareholders delayed leaving the Boardroom.
Knowing they were curious to know about his life, Brent even noticed how they puked their ears, When Miss John said, "Sir it's the young lady from this morning that visited your office.."
Noticing the eyebrows raised, Brent said, "Inform her that I am still in a meeting and cannot be disturbed."
"Yes, Sir!" Leaving the Boardroom immediately.
Brent takes up the notes from the table reading each report relating to the different departments, then informs the Board his Dad and mom, "This coming week I will be away from the office visiting each factory and at no time the Managers should be informed of my visit.
"Also, I know you still disapprove of my decision about the project but as soon as the plan is passed we will begin work. Dad, I want you to personally escort Miss Albert to the site and back to her place."
Florence almost flips when she hears Junior request, becoming disgruntled together with disappointment for ordering his Dad as though he was some worker or servant. "Junior, what is wrong with you? what is so important about her that your Dad have to escort her?"
Florence was angry and ready to refute him but Brent interrupted her, "Mom, she may not be the world beauty queen, but she works for the Larson company and will be the only woman at the construction site. With you being there Dad, she will get the respect she deserves."
"I agree Son." Florence was stunned hearing the joy and happiness in his voice.
Brent said out of courtesy and appreciation to his Dad, "Dad, I must thank you for your full support."
Brent Senior was pleased with Junior's decision to delegate Miss Albert to that position.
"Son, this is a good investment; we are giving back to our community, I am proud of you and that child's vision is outstanding, I would have liked to hear her read that report and explain it."
Florence listened attentively to the father and son duo conversing, all that was on her mind was these two were spoiling her plan.
Brent didn't want to hide his plan from his parents, "Dad, I will be taking Miss Albert along with me this week while visiting the other factories. Maybe her ideas might make a great impact on improving the working situation at the factories. Also, I will inform the engineers of the new development of the renovation."
When his Dad said, " Great idea son and don't you worry, I will be joining you as well."
Jessy had just left the prayer meeting and crossed the road to get a taxi when she felt a shadow at her side. In her heart, she felt a heaviness.
Recalling while she was in the prayer meeting her left eye was jumping. Was this a sign that something bad was going to happen?
Jessy glanced sideways when she saw the person holding a knife, at that moment she felt fear but she shifted aside quickly changing her direction. Jessy tried to flee but the two people followed her.
Jessy realised that the two people were after her, not wanting to be a suspect in any crime or to be involved with the police. Most importantly she knew that her photo should not be printed in the news media.
She glimpsed the car heading in this direction and calculated in her mind that whoever had been targeting her would fail.
When Jessy swiftly took a step forward, Gill thought she was going to run away and would escape. The money flashed before his eyes, thinking that he would miss out on a grand treat.
He rushed beside her to capture her when she stooped down extending her left foot tripping him and he fell.
The car that was approached abruptly and could not stop to brakes the accident from occurring.
Gill both legs were injured bringing a crowd around him. At that moment the cry brought his partner to his senses and he rushed over to assist his partner.
Fred had completely forgotten about the task he was paid to do and he helps his partner Gill.
Jessy immediately escaped after taking a photo of the two men. In her mind, all she wanted to know was, "Who could want to hurt her?"
Standing at a slight distance looking at the scene, it was only then did Jessy realized she had injured her elbow.
With the blood flowing she quickly pulled out the scarf from her bag and dabbed up the blood and hurried to the apartment.
