EMPIRE DRAGON HOTELDaichi knocks on the President"s Office before entering inside. He wanted to announce his presence making sure the boss wasn"t on the phone with the Empress. Well, there he is with a big smile plastered on his lips while tapping on his phone: ignoring the huge pile of doc.u.ments in front of him.
Daichi knocks one more time while peeping on the door, "Boss?"
"Come on in," Quinn answered without lifting his head. "Is that the report I asked?"
"Yes, boss!" Daichi stride toward the president"s table then places the folder in front of Quinn. He waited for the boss to entertain him, so for a while, he contends himself watching the boss continued tapping on his phone before he put down the gadget. He glanced at the antique clock hung on the corner and it says a quarter to twelve, it was Missy"s lunch break.
Quinn stood from his swivel chair, he pushes it lightly then walks away from his table. He gestured at Daichi to follow him towards the sofa. After seated comfortably, he then began reading the 15 pages of reports and his left brow pus.h.i.+ng upward while scanning the names of the people who still oppose submitting their a.s.sociation to him.
"What is the meaning of this?" He asked Daichi with anger expression on his face.
"They who thought that we won"t give a watch on their illegal doings. Those islands on the southern part of the country continue the transaction: like selling drugs and women."
"The Bureau of Tourism notices that huge numbers of tourists with same destinations and these islands where they go," Daichi handed another folder to Quinn. "One more thing boss, there are illegal workers as well that entering the country from our neighboring."
"Are you talking about Human Trafficking?" He clenches his palm. Since he becomes the heir of Crow Corporation, it also means he will be the next leader of all Mafia a.s.sociation, that even those tiniest group should submit and follow his rules. And it has been a year and a half since he started working on this, still, so much trouble left unresolved.
"And where is the Coast Guard? Isn"t that"s their job? What the h.e.l.l they were been doing? Aren"t they inspected all the suspicious fis.h.i.+ng boats?"
"There are fishy about them, as well," Matt stated while following Rudolf inside the office.
"Matt, what information do you have?" Quinn asked the newly arrived Agent.
"We now conducted an investigation. There are men I already scattered to those locations.SISwas eyeing them now. Also, brother Quinn, I want you to pay attention to the government higher officials."
Quinn"s forehead now showing blacklines. Looks like, he will no longer have the luxury time to visit Ca.s.sandra often in the island. He was planning to see her soon in the weekend, but with National issues like this, he won"t have rest any longer.
He sighed.This new year is bad news instead, so much to do it seems.
"I think, I might send Jessie Verough and my cousin, Cheska De La Rue to do the undercover about these cases."
"Daichi, since they were still on the country, tell them that I want them both to pretend as tourists who wanted to visit those islands," Quinn added. "And I need more undercover agents to a.s.sign to those areas."
"How about Deana?" Riley suggested. She and Blaire join the discussion. Later then, Meisha arrives after finis.h.i.+ng his meeting outside.
"But Deana has a career she has to protect, isn"t it?" Daichi objects. "And how about her boyfriend?"
"She began thinking to exit the show business anytime soon, and her boyfriend went back ahead. What I learned is, they have a fight or something."
"How about Spencer? Did he go back to the Philippines already?"
"Not yet. I heard, he has another business meeting," Daichi who answered.
"Okay then... send Deana as well," he ordered. Quinn glance at his sister who she gives him a worried face. He already knows why she is worried about Deana.
"Blaire, Deana will be alright. We already have people to watch over. Also, she is one of the best."
"I know that, brother. I just can not avoid not to worry. Am just worried that--"
Quinn reaches his sister"s hand then squeeze it. "Am sure, Deanna had forgotten already." He did try to comfort her and did not mention the past anymore.
"Now tell me, are you gaining weight?"
Blaire widens her smile. "Guess what, uncle?"
"Wait, don"t tell me?" Quinn began guessing that Blaire is pregnant.
"Yes, I just found out. I made a test before coming here." Blaire smiled happily.
"Congratulations then!" Quinn hugs Blaire, then Meisha.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Congrats, man!" He is patting Meisha"s back. He could also see how happy he is.
And He truly is very much happy for his sister. Having a new family member is sounds exciting. He also cannot avoid wis.h.i.+ng it for himself.Well, in the near future he and Ca.s.sandra will create a family of their own. They will have a dozen cuties running around their house.
Hmm... Right now, he is only living at their small house, the old house they live in when he undergoes of treatment for two years when he got that illness that almost kills him. He is dying, thanks to his grandfather Dave Williams who treated him and he survived.
"Brother?"
Quinn came back to his senses when Blaire patted his shoulder.Ah, the past..."Blaire? Am sorry. What is it?"
"I asked if do you like to come with us to look around? Meisha and I will go to see the mansion we saw as for sale on Real Estate Site, do you like to come and check the place?"
Mansion!An idea suddenly comes up inside his head. "Sure! When is that?"
"After lunch, we scheduled to meet up with the agent."
"Okay, I"ll come!" Quinn feels the excitement he cannot explain. He suddenly felt this warmth inside his chest. "By the way, where is Kier?"
Everyone in that room looks at Matt with curiosity. Matt just shrugs a shoulder because he has no idea as his brother never shares anything about his private life.
Quinn is now very curious as well. He is noticing how that guy seems busy with other things he hadn"t known. What happens to that guy? He cannot continue their meeting without him. "Alright, let"s resume the meeting in the evening," he announced. "Matt, inform your older brother and I want David to be here also."
"Copy, brother Quinn." Matt salutes at him.
"Then, let"s go grab some lunch." Quinn"s invitation after reading Ca.s.sie"s message to not skip a meal.
"Bother, can we have j.a.panese food this time?" Blaire"s requests. She began craving different foods lately, and now she knew the reason why.
~~~
Meanwhile, Kier was inside a convenience store. He looks around before he heaved a furious sighed.Why suddenly he becomes someone"s errand boy? Not mentioning about a demanding person.
He scanned his phone and read the list that was sent to him earlier while having a meeting with one of their business partners.Such a demand!He actually freaking out inside his head.
Few customers would glance at him when they pa.s.s on that section. He may be wearing a sungla.s.s but obviously, he supposes to be not the one buying these stuff.
Ugh. What on earth is he doing?
After he picks all the stuff was needed, he brings them to the cas.h.i.+er"s table. The woman that a.s.signed today looks at him with curiosity at the same time, she is wearing that annoying smile. The same smile everyone is giving him every time he took a picture of each one of this stuff and sends them to someone for making sure he is choosing the correct one.
Kier sighed. He is on the verge of his patient not to shout at the cas.h.i.+er to hurry and pack all the stuff he bought. The housewives and few young ladies began lining up behind him and he could hear their whispering and giggling.
"Ugh, I wish my husband would do the same."
"You know why I break up with my boyfriend? One time, I asked him to buy me that stuff, but he refuses to do because he is ashamed to be seen buying them! My goodness. So what will happen to me if we got married? No thanks!"
Kier clears his throat. He could continue hearing comments from the women behind him. Finally, the cas.h.i.+er finishes packing and handed him the shopping bag.
"Thank you, and please come back if anything you needed again." The cas.h.i.+er smiled and said to him.
Kier bows then turned around. "Excuse me," he said to those curious women who were staring at him since he steps inside this store. He could hear their squeals and continued gossiping.
He just shook his head. These housewives nothing could do but watching other people, and would love on talking other people, and compares the other people. He hopes they won"t recognize him. He chooses to buy at a farther store from where he is living as he doesn"t want to be the main course of the neighbor"s gossip.
Although he lives in a more private apartment, still, there are other people would surely be intrigued. Not to mention that Doctor Ben Ryan is living in the same building. He needs to avoid that guy.
