Rick's Dilemma Chapter 27
Lois had arrived in her home village of Jelang late at night. Her sister Alice had come to meet the train. Alice was an unassuming lady but had a very gentle demeanor. Of all of Lois' relatives, Alice was the most honest and straightforward. She never looked down on anyone. Unlike Lois, Alice respected her siblings and their parents. So Lois was glad that it was Alice that came to greet her. She said to Alice "Hello my dear sister! Thank you for coming to pick me up. How is Mother?" Alice replied "Hello Lois! Mother is resting in the hospital. She has been in and out of a coma since the heart attack happened yesterday. It is past visiting hours now, so I will bring you to see her tomorrow. For now, will you stay with me while you are here? Is your daughter coming as well?" Lois was overjoyed to be staying with Alice as she knew that Alice would not be asking her for money during her stay. All the other siblings were always hinting that they could use a little extra cash everyt

The big day for RBG LLC had finally arrived. Debbie woke up early because she was so excited! This day would foretell the future of her company. If all went well, she could look forward to a prosperous future for the firm. Although she was a little nervous, Rick had assured her that everything would be OK. That was enough for her. Debbie had complete faith in him. Debbie threw a pillow at Rick and told him that it was time to get up and get ready for the opening ceremony. Rick yawned and said "It's not even 7 o'clock yet! Why are you beating me so early?" He had a gentle laugh at his wife. He knew just what today meant to her and completely understood how she was feeling. He had done everything he could behind the scenes to make this the perfect day for his wife. His sole goal in life had become to ensure her happiness. The event at RBG LLC was to begin at 10 o'clock.

Rick's Dilemma Chapter 29
Alice took Lois to see their mother in the hospital. Most of their siblings were at work at this time. So only Howard was there. He knew that Lois would show up today and wanted to see if she was going to help with the medical expenses. As soon as he saw Lois he said "You finally made it! I'm so glad that you could come. I've been so worried about Mother. But she seems better today. Let's go in now." Lois was shocked to see her mother in such a condition. Her mother was laying in bed with tubes running in both arms and monitor wires on her chest. She even had an oxygen mask on her face. She looked so pitiful. Lois was moved to tears upon seeing her. She said to her Mother "Mom, I'm here! Can you speak?" Her mother was awake and looked over at Lois and said "I'm so sorry to bring you here. I didn't mean to disrupt your life like this. I'll be OK. The doctor's have been taking good care of me these last few days. I may be able to go home soon." Her mother really was sorry to caus
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 30
Just as Debbie was headed to the podium to give her welcome speech, she saw her two uncles out of the corner of her eye. She nudged Rick and said "That looks like trouble!" Rick glanced over and saw the two men nervously looking around the room. He had to agree with Debbie's accessment of the situation. Rick replied to Debbie "Wait a moment before you start your speech. Let me go over and find out what they are doing here. I don't remember their names being on the guest list." So Rick casually walked over to Brad and William Blain and said "I'm surprised to see you both here. Was there something you needed?" Brad was already covered in sweat. He was very uncomfortable being around so many of the people that the Blain family once did business with. He looked up at Rick and said "We just wanted to see how Debbie was doing with the old firm. Is she available for a chat?" Rick had an idea what the two wanted to chat about, and thought that today was not the day to have that di
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 31
Rick was not a vindictive person, but Debbie's uncles were threatening her with ruin because of their own greed. This was an intolerable situation that must be remedied as soon as possible. And by any means neccessary. He pulled Old Wilson aside and asked "Did you hear everything?" Old Wilson replied "Yes Young Master I did. I think that we need to teach these scumbags a lesson if we are to keep them quiet. What do you want me to do with them?" Rick thought for a few minutes and said "Do what ever you think is best. I trust your judgement. Spend whatever you have to for this threat to go away." "I understand Young Master. It will be done." Outside the back entrance of the RBG LLC office building the body guards had just finished beating up the two brothers. As they begged for mercy, Brad was full of regret for having come here today. His only thought had been on how to get his income back without having to actually go to work. He felt that his status was enough to force
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 32
Debbie and Rick came back downstairs to rejoin the party. The lobby was packed with the elite of Fing City. As Debbie stepped up to the podium, everyone fell silent to hear what she had to say. Debbie started off with "I'd like to welcome everyone here to today to help us celebrate the opening of the new RBG LLC Accounting firm. We wish to thank you all for coming out. I hope everyone enjoys themselves and that we will become your "go to" accounting service in the future. " She continued on with the speech that she had stressed over for the last week. It introduced everyone to the many options that RBG LLC offered to the business community, as well as personalized taylored services for unique circumstances. She finished with "So, circulate and greet old friends and make some new ones too! Thank you!" The crowd burst into applause and began talking to each other once again. The opening seemed to be a great success. Debbie was pleased to see everyone on her guest list had sho
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 33
The day had gone extremely well. Except for Debbie's uncles, it could not have been better. Several reporters had asked for interviews with the new Chairman and pictures had been taken. Rick and Debbie were proud to be seen as news worthy. But there was a problem that neither of them foresaw. With notoriety came exposure. A lot of people now knew who was behind the Blain family demise. Rick and Debbie had unwittedly exposed their identity too by registering Ting Gap in the RBG name. Even though it was not an asset of RBG LLC, people were starting to put two and two together. This was not lost on the Green family back in Tang. It drew attention to the couple by people back in Tang. The news spread quickly that there was a new player in the business world that had potenial. The Green family sent out covert operatives to find out just what Rick was up to. Even though they were a first tier family in Tang, they were one of the most devious around. They would not stand for anyone disrep

Now that the opening had been a success, Debbie and Rick were getting ready to go to Jelang village to check on her grandmother. Debbie had not heard from Lois since she left. She decided to give her mother a call before they left to get an idea of what to expect when they arrived. So Debbie took out her phone and placed the call to her mother. Lois answered almost immediately. "It's about time you called! I have been waiting. When are you coming to Jelang? Is that good for nothing husband of yours coming as well? Don't forget you promised to take care of Mom's medical bills!" Debbie was almost sorry now that she had called. It was typical Lois. Nothing was ever good enough for her. She replied "Mom, we will be there tonight. We are driving up as soon as we are packed. Do we need to reserve an hotel for our stay? And how is Grandma?" Lois was just impatient for her daughter to come. She was almost out of money. She had almost $10,000 when she arrived, but had taken her bro
