Tabitha let out a large sigh and rearranged her seat for the hundred times, It was becoming more uncomfortable as she was getting larger with the baby’s growth.“Where are those documents?” Mr. Pikes called out, walking towards Tabitha, who was trying to get into a comfortable position in her chair.“Right here, sir,” Tabitha said and handed the same documents he had handed her in the morning. Truthfully, she never reread them nor redo them. There was no need; they were done right the first time.“Very good; see to it that this doesn’t happen again.” Mr. Pikes said, going over the documents. And was satisfied with what he observed and quickly left Tabitha to her uncomfortable seating.Tabitha sighed again and began to get ready for the end of the work shift. All of a sudden, the baby within was protesting, and her little one began to kick up a storm. She had forgotten to eat lunch, and she smiled, placing her hand over her bulging belly.“Quiet, little one, we are going to go and get
“Maybe you should discuss this without the children around?” Danielle stated, looking at the children with stern eyes. She had been the nanny in charge of the children since they were babies. To her surprise, this family was never your average family. When Blake explained the situation to her, even though she was skeptical, there was no disputing the strange occurrences with the rapid growth of the children, but she accepted the outcome.“AWW.” The children protested.“Enough, behave, and eat your meals,” Consuela called out.The children were silent as they ate and behaved themselves, seeing the two most influential women in their lives had voiced their displeasure over their actions. Even though the women decided it was better to discuss this without the children involved. Some of their conversations spoke of their capability to see and hear the roaming spirits on Earth.“When I, Sylvia, and Blake went to his parent’s grave, we met with the old caretaker, and when I mean old, I mean
The two men looked at one another in disbelief. Two billion investment and a working factory? Were they dreaming? Who would even fathom such an outrageous condition?“Uhm, sir. What are you saying?” David asked with disbelief.“I’m willing to let you utilize a rather large spice factory and invest two billion into your product. Are you willing?” Blake asked, placing the tablet down for the men to see that there was a factory on the outskirts of Philidelphia being bought.For Blake, if they refused, he would only outright buy the recipe from the two and have others create the spice mix.“We will need a bit of time to discuss this. Please, if you don’t mind, David.” Hank said and rose from his seat and motioned for David to follow him out of the room.Taking this time that his Father left, David Jr. rushed to Blake and Susan.“Hey, fancy meeting you two here,” Blake said when Gladis and David walked up.“Sir, are you serious? Investing is such a product? There are millions on the market
“I believe you are acquainted with Phil Simon?” Blake asked suddenly.“I am; he and I met when I first arrived here in Philidelphia. He was the one who called to arrange this meeting.” Hank said, regaining his composure over what had taken place. “I will need to give him a commission for bringing you to us.”“No need. He will be working for me from now on.” Blake anounced. He was delighted with Phil’s performance so far. “If you need to get in contact over the delivery, he will be in charge.”“I understand,” Hank said.After a bit of arrangement of loose ends, Blake and Susan made their departure.“I didn’t know you hired Phil,” Susan said as they left the building.“I have, but he doesn’t know it yet,” Blake said with a chuckle.“Sir, Madam, please,” Phil said and opened the car door for them to enter.When everyone was seated, they disembarked from the area.“I hope the negotiations were pleasant,” Phil said, looking in the rearview mirror. He was hoping that his friend would benefi
Soon, there was a man with white and red flowing robes walking with two guards. He held a tablet with a quill. Showing an unappealing grin as he approached the carriage and attended people.“Miss. Chai Xuanlu, I presume?” The man asked with a knowing tone.“What is the meaning of this?” Xuanlu asked, pulling the notice off of her residence door and waving it in front of the man.“The taxes were not paid; it clearly states it in the notice, and the city has reclaimed its property.” The man said smugly.“Taxes? The taxes are not due until the end of next season. How could it be delayed?” Xuanlu asked, seeing a conspiracy happening here in the city.“The new Magistrate has issued a new tax law, and seeing no one from the Chai family available, has revoked your residence. He will be occupying it within a week’s time.” The tax collector stated with a smug look.“He will be taking up residence in my home?” Xuanlu asked with anger.“Correction, his home, you no longer own this property.” The
“Sylvia, the teleportation formation has been activated,” Hana called out, seeing the blue hue beginning to manifest. “What? Blake must have sent some of the supplies, but we are not ready.” Sylvia said, looking at the formation getting brighter.But instead of supplies a flavorful aroma escaped and captivated the two women.“Barbeque?” Sylvia asked, looking at the delicious foods before her when the teleportation ended.“There is a note,” Hana said, pointing in the direction where a paper was stapled.‘Was fortunate to have found a great barbeque restaurant and wanted to share. Take a portion and send the rest to Blake Prime and company. Gathering the supplies will take a week to deliver. Love Blake,’ The message said when Sylvia read.“We only have a week to prepare. Can we make this happen?” Sylvia asked Hana, who was looking closely at the food with drool.“Hana. HANA!” Sylvia called out.“Yes, all will be prepared within a week,” Hana said, snapping out of her daze. The aroma wa
In a home next to the center of Guthrie City, there came a burst of laughter from within. The young man who was the current Magistrate had completed his cultivation and finally broken through to his next realm, Early Martial Grand Master. With this realm, he believed he was able to conquer the one woman he deemed his, Chai Xuanlu. In his mind, he would challenge her betrothed and then utilize her powerful Chai family and conquer the Central Provence with his new founded strength. With the ambitions of the young Magistrate in mind, he rose from his secluded room for cultivation and called for his head guard.“Sir, what are your orders?” A man in his forties in armored attire arrived and knelt in front of the Young Magistrate in his white and red robes.“Send out a challenge letter to this Blake Elon in a day’s time for the hand of Chai Xuanlu. I want to see if this betrothed is worthy of such a woman.” The young Magistrate stated with a wicked grin. He had figured he would dispose of t
“We need to leave.” The man with the bite mark on his hand said, looking around.“This slut needs to be taught a lesson. No one takes my money and gets away from me.” The man holding onto the woman said.“You paid for the drinks yourself; what does it have to do with me?” The woman protested. She and the man holding her had a few drinks, and when his advances took form, she denied him and left the bar, but to her horror, he followed and demanded she pay with her body, not just to him but to his buddy as well.The woman still struggled to no avail, and with her last hope that someone would come and rescue her from the shadows, there was silence.“Only after I receive what is owed to me.” The man said, still holding the struggling woman.“There was never an agreement that I would bed you after buying me a drink or two.” The woman said, trying to reason with the man holding her captive.“He, he. There is when I spent so much gold coin on you. It wasn’t only the drinks but the meal as we
