The whole situation was going further than he anticipated, Benjamin really did thepany dirty, he cut so deep into thepany resources, how he was able to do that without Lucas notice was way beyond him, now it was everywhere on the news, he thought he could fix this himself and had not bothered to tell his dad but as things kept going down, he had no choice than to call his father, because even though he brought thepany more resource than his dad did, his father still had a lot of experience than him, his dad arrivedte on Sunday night and both of them together with the directors spent the whole night trying to minimize the damage.


    Even though they worked through the night, he was surprised when he got a call that the media sort of got wind of what’s going on and it was all over the news, things just kept going south.


    “Lucas, I still think we should use that funds.”


    “I already said no dad, and I mean it, I can’t use it for this,”


    His dad has been persuading him to use from the funds he kept for the Reuben’s deal, but he wasn’t going to have that, no way, not when getting the property he has wanted for a while now is now so close, everyone else in the room kept mute, as he and his dad were arguing, they too feel he should use the fund but he had told them no.


    “You do realize that there might be no business and no funds for you to create the small heaven you wish to create on thatnd?”


    “Dad, I already said I will find a way, I am not given up that fund,”


    “Son, we have been trying to find other means for over twenty-four hours now, and we haven’t seen any, I know it will be hard, but another opportunity wille but if we don’t save us now, we might not even have apany,”


    “Dad, if only you will trust me, just trust me,”


    “I do trust, but this is too risky that I am scared, thispany has been in this family for over forty years and I don’t want to lose it,”


    “We won’t,”


    He said and stood up to answer his phone that was ringing, just his whole body hurt, he has not rested since he got back from California, from the airport he hade straight to the office and he had not left since.


    Katrina had called him earlier but he hadn’t been able to pick because he had been in a meeting with the shareholders and directors, he knew she must have seen the news and was worried for him, he would call her back when he could.


    “Sir, we have found him,”


    Elvis said when he picked the call, Elvis is a private investigator that has been working with him for a while now.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Thank you, Elvis, please keep an eye on him and bring him at the right time, he has to pay for these scenes he created.”


    He answered biting down hard on his tongue to avoid barking or shouting, he wasn’t going to handle this with anger.


    “Okay, but the police already got him, we are headed towards the station,”


    “Okay, I wille over there soon,”


    He said and hung up.


    “Dad, they found him and he is on the way to the police station,”


    He disclosed this to his dad.


    “But that won’t give us the fund we need, how are we sure he still has the money,”


    “Dad, this is a real estatepany, it’s not like we buy and sell things daily, we could pause the new buildings for a while, give those we sold  their properties a time frame that we will get them back their money and also, the hotels are doing well, the funds generated so far can be used for this, since the hotels are not affected, I can borrow from the hotels, and thepany will pay back when it can since the hotel’s money is still mine, I can payback anytime.”


    He said wondering why he had not thought of that since, if he had he won’t have had to sit through two hellish nights of brainstorming.


    “Why didn’t we think of that since? Ipletely forgot the hotels, did any of you think of the hotels?”


    His dad asked the others in the room.


    “I did think of it but, he wasn’t willing to give up funds for the properties he is about to acquire so I didn’t feel he would be ready to give up funds from the hotel either,”


    Josh one of the directors said, Lucas, eyed him.


    “You could have said it,”


    “Yeah, my bad.”


    He sat back down and checked the total ie from the various hotels and smiled, he couldn’t believe that the solution had been before him and he had not thought about it.


    “We are safe dad, everyone, sorry I didn’t think about this earlier and gathering you all here,”


    “No, it’s okay, good job son, you are saving us again,”


    Everyone in the room pped and he breathe a breath of relief, he was still going to get his money from Benjamin, that’s a must but for now, he was d they were safe.


    Even aftering up with a solution, it still took up to the end of Monday to implement the ns and he spent most of Tuesday putting finishing touches to the ns, transferring the funds, he had texted Katrina, instead of calling, he hadn’t even check for her reply because he hadn’t even had time for himself, he hadn’t even go home, he went from the office to the police station and back to the office, even transferring the funds had been a little hard to do, but he got it all done, now he sat on the ne on his way back, after seeing his father off with a promise to be in Arizona in time for Lc’s wedding, both his mother and his sister’s had been worried, he knew Katrina would be worried it, he hoped the news would not affect Reuben’s decision, he could take the loss of his funds, but if he lost that property he won’t like it one bit.


    Now that everything was okay again and running smoothly even if it was not all that smooth yet, but still no cause for rm, his mind went back to Katrina, he thought of how she affected him, and his growing need to have her, even with all the hustle, the thoughts of the taste of her lips against his still found their way into his head.


    He told her they would talk about it when he got back, now that he was going back, he didn’t know what to talk about, he knew he wanted her, knew she wanted him too, but the problem is they might have different meanings of their rtionship, he didn’t wantmitments and that might be what she wanted, and he can’t give her that.


    “Then just leave her alone,”


    He told himself, but he knew he couldn’t do that, not when he had a taste of her already, he won’t be able to move on until he had a fill, call him a bad boy, but what he wanted he would get, he just had to look for a way to have her without having tomit, he would spell it out to her, tell her everything, they still had three whole weeks in Arizona, they would treat it like a vacation and when they did return to New York it would be back to business, and being worker and employer.


    “That’s how it would be,”


    He muttered to himself, he hoped she would agree to it, really wanted her to agree.
