Chapter 5 - The fallen genius (2)

Elsewhere Alicia Steele's car reach its destination, grand phoenix mansion

One of the best mansion made by intercontinental estate.

A high end estate with mansions,villas and six star hotels all over the world. The Grand phoenix mansion is tailor made especially for Alicia Steele. It's worth is over one hundred and sixty million dollars and to maintain it costs twenty three million dollars every year.This mansions can't be bought by money alone, one must have status and influence.

The mansion covers around five thousand square metres and is heavily guarded with patrol cars, drones and watch dogs. Although the Steele family has recourses and influence, this kind of wealth still looks ridiculous.

The whole mansion is black in colour shaped with a design of a phoenix spreading it's wings.The interior design alternating from red to gold. The floor tiles being pure gold, the chandeliers made of red jade. The paintings in the hallways and the other rooms are antiques from different painters.Everything in the house reaks money and elegance.

The underground parking lot is filled with limited edition cars from all the big named car manufacturers. The extended edition rolls royce silently enter the parking lot, all the cars are either black or red in colour except the Bugatti Chiron which is while in colour.

A while later George gets a phone call, his indifferent look change slightly. Alicia and Cathy walk out of the car and head towards the elevator.

In the main hall a middle aged man wearing a butler's attire wait respectively. The appearance of the man change Alicia's facial expressions. "Uncle Jim,to what do I owe such an unexpected visit?". Alicia coldly ask.

Jim Collins the head butler of the Steele family smile gently and bows,"young miss, it's been a while since we met. I'm sorry for my abrupt visit but the master sends a word".*pause for some seconds* "You are to return to England first thing tomorrow morning as the matriarch is sick."

This startles Alicia,"you... you...you are saying that grandma is back?." She stummers which surprise Cathy. To which head butler Jim nods with approval.

George comes in and bows to head butler Jim in respect,then turns to Alicia who nods her head as a sign of acceptance. Butler Jim then says politely"Pardon me young miss but I have more invitations to deliver to top families in New York City today so I will take my leave"

With that said he turns and walke off, this seems rude to George who looks pissed off. Alicia turns to Cathy with a disappointed face,"well there goes our outing, George cancel everything and tell your people to prepare we are leaving tomorrow "

George nods and runs out quickly, Alicia turns and look at Cathy who looks dejected and smiles "what, don't tell me you are still thinking about that guy earlier?."

Cathy blushing with embarrassment turns her head with anger runs to her room screaming. This makes Alicia to laugh out loudly, her laughs echo throughout the mansion.

-------------------

On the other side, the group of Alan Fisher,Amanda show, Alaine barkly, Anita Demarco, Franklin Cooper, Jason Lee, Ariana hall, Damian and Darius Wayne together with Maxwell Brooks were having a meeting.

"It's been a while since we sat down together, boss is now out but his memories are gone. He doesn't remember anything after his fourteenth birthday. That's why he remembers only me, old ghost and scorpion. So nobody will speak of his memory loss to anyone. And before I conclude ther is something you must know,He will be going to England to visit his grandma Victoria after he wakes up. I will be there with him,and the workload will be divided as follows. CEO of Wild cat technology is Damian and Darius Wayne, Jason Lee and Amanda show will manage Sea pavilion, Alan Fisher and Alaine barkly will be in charge of Oasis pharmaceutical company, Anita Demarco and Franklin Cooper will be in charge of Seven roses enterprise and last but not least Ariana Hall will be in charge of Red lotus company. This is effective first of November this month.Thank you for coming." Maxwell announced slowly with a cold voice.

Old ghost smiles"well most of you blame me of my actions lately, on the day of his arrest I admit I gave him forgetting pills. But the truth is someone had already tampered with his results."

" There is a big conspiracy going on from the other side of the coin. You must remain alert, because someone has already sold the 'dummy' we set aside. This is now a game of interest, you either stick with him or against him."

"Before you go I will offer an advice to you, the size of the fish depends on the fisherman's experience. It's better to fight for what you have than what is promised." With that said old ghost sits down and observe quitely.

The Wayne twins fang and sting look at Maxwell with an envious look. "Hey fatty, it's not fair you can't be serious about that. You will be busy roaming around with boss while we work our asses off." This lighten up the mood of everyone.

"Well don't think I have any time to enjoy because I have the most difficult Job, that is to keep boss alive until he gets his memories back. Maybe it's better that he doesn't remember anything because I know what he can do when provoked." Maxwell smiles bitterly.

"My dear brothera and sisters,the boss will need your help managing the business. It's all worth two or three months of sleepless nights. He gave us something when we were nothing, we protect what we build together." Toast to our family"*raising a glass of wine* . The rest follow suit.

-------------------

The next three days pass on monotonously, everyone except Maxwell Brooks left Chinatown. Old ghost and scorpion went to Arizona two days ago where the main laboratory of Oasis pharmaceutical company is located. Damian and Darius Wayne went to Texas yesterday where the main office of Wild cat technology is located.

Ariana Hall flew to England yesterday for personal reasons, she will be in charge of Red lotus company branch in London. Everything is going as planned,All that is needed is for him to wake up.

Johnson Grey hasn't woken up since, although his condition is much better. Old ghost gave Maxwell assurance on Grey's condition.Now all Maxwell needs is him to wake up.

This few days Grey's condition changed from time to time, he was hot then cold, then cold to hot and vice versa. His hair turned from charcoal black to white and back to black again.

This made Max curious on what is going on with him. Even old ghost could not determine the cause of his sickness.
