Rick's Dilemma Chapter 19
Many of the marriges in Fing City were arranged. They were more in the line of business deals among the more wealthy families in town. Therefore, most of the men had multiple affairs on a regular basis. The women too, for that matter. Although they may not know who their spouses were sleeping with, it was just a fact of life that they were sleeping around. The women were expected to produce at least one heir, then after that, most husbands didn't give them another thought. As for the men, a unique aspect of this was that a housing area was developed over many years to accommodate their mistresses. A gated community was build to protect their identity and to close them off from prying eyes. Many of these households had bastard children, offspring of these illict affairs. Some of these mistresses even had nannies and other servants working for them, depending on the wealth of their lovers. This development was called Wong Manor. But privately most people called it Mistress Hill.

Debbie was proud of herself. She was proud of the progress she had made in reorganising the firm. It had taken several weeks to secure new employees and department heads. Each had their own strengths and were working together toward a common goal. Which was to make the new RBG LLC a success. A lot of the old clients came back, which gave the firm a solid base to grow from. But just days away from the opening ceremony, Debbie still needed a good project manager. She had asked the HR Director to compile a list of posible candidates. They planned to interview them together. As Debbie was going down the list, she noticed just one or two women's names. She really wanted to keep the staff diversified if she could. So she circled the two names and asked for them to be interviewed first. The HR Director was a bit miffed, as he really thought that business was best suited to men. But Debbie was the boss, so he went ahead and scheduled the interviews for that same day. Debbie was looking forward

As we have seen, Lois was not one to let things go. Her curiosity about Racheal was already consuming her. So she decided to pay her daughter a visit. As she approached Debbie's office, she was unsure how to ask Debbie about Racheal without arousing suspicions. Debbie saw her mother standing outside her office door and called to her "Mom? Did you want to see me?" Lois walked into the office. Lois just blurted out "What was Racheal Madison doing here?" Debbie was a bit taken by surprise at this "I didn't know that you knew her. We just hired her as the new Project Manager. Why, is there a problem?" Lois was furious! "How dare you give such a high position to that whore! She will rank above me now! Don't you know who she is?" Debbie was confused. She could understand her mother's feelings about another woman having a higher position, but to call her such names was way out of line. "That's enough of that kind of talk! She is well qualified for the post, just as

Rick looked over at Old Wilson and said "What are your thoughts on this matter?" Old Wilson had a few things to say. He started with " I think that Madame handled the situation well. I believe that if Ms. Madison truly got the job on her own merits, there is no reason to discount her for her previous life. Although I would keep a close eye on her, I think her attitude will show her true motives. Mr. Howel needs to learn his place before insulting a valuable client. As for Madame's mother, she should just keep out of it." Both Debbie and Rick agreed. So there was no need to take the matter further at the present time. Debbie said "Thank you Old Wilson! That's just what I wanted to hear. I know my mother is a bit of a busy body, but I will just have to keep her in check." Rick turned the conversation to the upcoming opening ceremony. He asked Debbie "How are the preperations going for the opening day? Do you need me to do anything?" Debbie had been run ragged the past wee

After dinner was finished, Old Wilson said his goodbyes and strolled down the drive towards his own house in Silver Hill. Although Rick had provided him with a car, Old Wilson prefered to walk when inside the developement. Rick and Debbie waved him off and returned to the pool house to relax before bedtime. As they were sitting down, Chef Matthew served them both some more tea and then retired for the night. As the couple were chit chatting, Debbie recieved a call from her mother. As Debbie picked up the call she could tell that her mother was upset. Lois said "You won't believed what has happened! Your Grandmother has had a heart attack! We must go to her at once." Lois came from a small town some distance to the north from Fing City. Lois did have a few siblings, but as the oldest, she was expected to take care of her mother if anything happened to her. Lois knew that the only reason that her brother called was to get Lois to come pay for their mother's hospital stay and treatmen

They reached the train station and went inside to buy a ticket for Lois. The next train out was in just 30 minutes. Rick purchased the ticket and handed it to Lois and said "Be safe and be aware of your surrounding on the train. There are a lot of pick pockets around these days." Lois looked at the ticket and was appaulded that is was a second class ticket. She scowled at Rick " What? Am I not worth a first class ticket to you? You cheap ass moron! I deserve better than this. How could you expect me to travel second class?" Rick repiled "It was the only class ticket available. First class was full. If you would rather wait until tomorrow, I'm sure they will have something in first class. But I thought you were in a hurry to get to your mother's side at this time." Lois said arrogantly "Oh, if that's all they had available, I guess it will have to do." She did not apologize to Rick for being so rude to him. Debbie looked at her mother and was about to scold her for her beh
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 25
The lead thug had called for an ambulance to transport the men to the hospital. He was still shocked at how easily Rick had dealt with his cronies in just one kick. He had caused so much damage that these men would be out of action for months at least. His next phone call was to the group of loan sharks who had hired him to deal with Tony Hall. "Boss, we found Tony Hall but he said that his friend would take care of his debts. We found him and approached him about the money. The man called Green proceeded to beat up nine of my men with just one kick! Then he told me that he was not responsible for Tony Hall's debts. Mr. Green also suggested that Hall was trying to buy some time to get out of town. We should stake out the airport and train station to see if that's true." The boss he was talking to was Ye Wong. Ye Wong then replied "Then go back and find Hall right now. Do not let him leave town. If you loose him, it will be on your head." Fu Wang, the Lead Thug, was horrified at

Rick and Debbie arrived at Ting Gap and went out by the pool to relax. It had been an eventful day. The butler Li Fan came out to inquire if they needed anything. Rick said "Just some tea would be nice." After Li Fan served them tea, he withdrew back into the house. Debbie needed to talk, so she started by saying "Do you think those men will come back and try to make trouble again? I can't believe that Tony would pull such a stunt!" Rick replied "I don't think that they will be back. One beating should be enough to warn them off. As far as Tony goes, he will be lucky if he can escape from them again. It's his wife that I feel sorry for. I'm sure that if Tony tries to bail on the loans, the loan sharks will come looking for her. There's no telling what they might do to her if she can not come up with the money to pay them off." Debbie thought about this for a minute then said "Do you think that they would hurt her? It's not her fault that Tony had a gambling problem. " "
