"Em!" Jimi cleared his throat trying to get over the surprise. "I think it would be best if we try to help her behind the scene" Jimi suggested.
"You mean without her knowing right?" Asked Gad
"Yes" Jimi confirmed.
"And how do you suggest we do that?" Gad asked.
Jimi gave it a few minutes thought before coming up with a decision "I have an idea"
"I'm all ears " said Gad.
"We should remove Tade Toby as the patriarch of the Toby family " said Jimi. Gad frowned he was confused by Jimi's suggestion.
"How? We are a powerful family I zara yes, but not son powerful to be able to choose the patriarch of another family" Gad let out his doubts.
"You are right, but that doesn't mean we can't influence it" Jimi said, but Gad still as the expression of uncertainty.
"Explain " Gad demanded
"I will. Tade's brother Ford has been wanted to become the patriarch of their family for so long, but because Tade was older he was chosen" Jimi said.
"How do you know this" Gas asked
"I did mu findings" Jimi said with a smile "with the mess Tade's wife and daughter had made by f**king with a girl you love and erupting your anger, I think if we make a deal with Ford and give him a little push politically, he can be able to become the new patriarch of the Toby's family, and we would be able to ask him for anything " Jimi explained in details.
Gad dwell on what Jimi said for a while before nodding in approval. "That's a brilliant idea Jimi" Gad said after some seconds. Jimi smiled, if he remember correctly this will be the first time his cousin will see his value this way. "Thank you cousin" He said.
"I want you to arrange a meeting with Ford and I, I will love to talk to him face to face" Gad said.
"Consider it done" Jimi replied
*******
It was a foggy morning, and Ford was early to get to the family oil and gas company not because he wanted to, but because he had to. Since all companies and prestigious families in zara decided not to work with them, things had been hard, they have no company to sell their hydrocarbon to, thereby the company running at lost as they have to pay their staffs.
The Toby's family had decided to plan on how to send their hydrocarbon to neighbouring country since they won't buy from them in Zara, and that's why they are having meeting this early morning, a meeting Ford us not in support of.
Ford is a tall brown skin man, he looked elegant in his navy blue suit, coat and matching shoe.
"Good morning Mr Ford " His secretary greeted him as he walked into the company. "There's a latter for you sir"
"A letter?" Ford asked with a frown not expecting any letter.
"Yes sir" replied the secretary, she the picked up the letter from her desk and hand it over to Ford whose eyes widen in surprise the moment he saw the logo of Gadon's family on the Seal envelope.
"Is everything fine sir?" Asked the secretary, noticing her boss widen eyes.
"No it's nothing " Ford replied not taking his eyes of the letter, he broke the seal, and unfold the letter before reading the contest and when he was done reading it a smile bloom from his face, now this meeting will be more intreasting he thought.
