We went on for a few more hours and the amount of detail to be grabbed is huge. There had been so many plots and plans the old man had used. No wonder many small and medium businesses were afraid of him.
"You know one thing I really don't understand is, why this dude went all overboard to write these things so detailed. I mean didn't he know these can be found one day?" asked Alex after going through a few books.
"It's just guilty concession. He cannot tell anyone so he had to let it out somehow. S he documented them all," said Paul, checking out a draft plan of a building that was constructed.
"What are you looking at?" asked Maverick.
"See if you guys can understand this?"
"Hmm, it's a plan for a mall that had been built," said Alex.
"But why do I feel like I have seen this when I was a kid," I said as I remember seeing this building.
"Where? and how come I don't?" asked Alex.
"How could you always spend time eyeing the popsicles around the time," I said teasing him.
"No, I didn't"
"So what's the story?" asked Liam with a merry look on his face.
"Those days the weather was hot and he cannot bear it at all. And our fathers forbid us from eating a lot of cold stuff. So this guy would say we are going to play in the park and we wander around the town eating popsicles," I explained.
"Hmmm.. remember that corner store, they had the yummiest ones you could find," said Alex remembering the taste.
"Hey don't drool," said Paul.
"Oh now I remember, this building was right next to that corner store," I said.
"Paul do you think this building has something special?" asked Liam.
"I don't know but why do you ask?"
"My grandfather won't keep such a plan unless there is something important,"
"In that case, let's find out. I will ask my team to check on it," said Paul sending a message to his team.
"I have seen grandfather look into some plans but I don't know if it's this one," said Maverick looking at the plan.
"What do you mean?" asked Liam.
"I mean I have heard him say to use low-quality goods so the profit will be more or some stuff like that,"
"So do you think we need to investigate these supplier companies too?" asked Alex, already looking worried.
"I guess so," said Paul.
In that case, I gave Markus the list of suppliers we have found to be investigated. Meanwhile, Paul's team sends some details regarding that building.
"Hmm, as suspected the building was abandoned and reconstructed to be turned into a community center," said Paul giving the documents to me.
"Do they mention the reason to abandon the project?" asked Alex.
"Not being built according to standards,"
"So what we thought is true?"
"Could it be the suppliers who bribed the company to do these?" asked Liam, as he had previously encountered some employees involved in such schemes.
"Why do you say that?" asked Maverick.
"You were never involved or knew about the company matters. But I have caught a few when grandfather was there, doing such things that I had to dismiss them on the spot," said Liam looking at the book.
"Even with Senior Alexander's strict and rough ways?" asked Paul a bit surprised.
"I also don't know about that. But I have to say they had some guts," said Liam with a smile.
After a few more hours, Meg came to call them to have dinner. That was a fun time with the little one's babble and funny talk around. I looked around to see where Sarah was. I see her seated on the hanging bench under the big tree.
"HI, you will feel cold," I wrapped a shawl around her while hugging her tight.
"How's your work?"
"We still have a lot to do. But we will get them done in these few days,"
"I checked the new designs from the office. The work is going smoothly. So you don't have to be worried,"
"Thank you, love,"
"Sarah, after all these issues are sorted let's go on a vacation for a few months?"
"Why?"
"Just I need a little mental break and some quality time with my Mrs,"
"Ok, we will see after these are settled," she said pecking on my nose.
