" How could you invest in such a business when I warned you about it from the start" Mr chairman paused before he continued " what do you need me for_ don't tell me to clean up your mess because I won't do that" he said in a final tune.
" No that's not it, I'll sought that out. It's just a few dollars anyway" James said downing his whisky in one go.
Victor Frederick scoffed at his nonchalant attitude "indeed just a few dollars_ you actually call five billon dollars a few dollars. Do you know what that means to the road side vendors or the little teenage child on the streets" Mr chairman said through gritted teeth as he brought out his phone then dialled a number.
"Hello grandma James, it's good to hear from you again" what he said almost caused James to shock on his drink before he spat it out but, Mr chairman wasn't gonna listen to him.
"How's the old bone doing?_ yes I'll come see you soon_ that's the reason I called, I want James to handle the project in Eastern Africa_ his flight has been booked and he'll be leaving tonight" Mr chairman spoke sweetly to grandma James but sneered at James who was glaring at Victor.
"See you soon grandma James" Victor Frederick hung up and drank of his whisky not bordering about James.
"Am not going anywhere_ why would you do this to me when Becky will be returning at noon tomorrow" James told him not happy with his actions, funny how his grandma always agrees to what ever Victor Frederick says and not him her grandson.
"You have to start packing up your flight is by 8:30p.m tonight and about Becky I'll handle her, my house is big enough and am sure she will love been with the twins" Victor Frederick said as he got up to leave.
"For how long" James asked in defeat
" It depends on how fast you're with the project, grandma James told me about it two months ago before the catastrophe so, I'll be on my way to let you pack" Mr chairman told him walking to the front entrance.
After he left James he drove to the company and he was drowned with work and he lost track of the time.
"Boss it's 10:15p.m, attorney Frederick has been calling" his assistant Lauren said and that surprised him. He picked up his phone and saw he missed six calls from his wife and her message as well. He stood up taking his jacket and work bag before exiting his office and into his private elevator. He didn't see the need to return his wife call or message as he was heading back home.
"At 10:00 a.m tomorrow you'll go bring back Mrs Becky James to the villa" Mr chairman told his chauffeur.
" Yes Mr chairman" he replied as he closed the car door before getting into the drivers seat.
"You can retire for the night Mia" Mrs Frederick said to the cook.
"It's fine m_" she was saying but stopped when she saw Mr chairman walking into the kitchen.
"Good evening Mr chairman" Mia greeted to which Mr chairman responded with a nod.
"I'll head back ma'am" Mia said and left the couples.
"How are you sweetheart" Mr chairman said hugging her from behind resting his chin on her shoulder inhaling her scent.
"Am good Mr chairman" she said facing him with questioning eyes.
"I lost track of time and I didn't know my phone was on silent mode, I didn't want to call because I'll be coming home" Mr chairman explained while he walked to the refrigerator to get himself water.
