The next day was their start of a new work week. Debbie made her way to the office driving the new Bentley. Luckily no one saw her drive up and park. As she entered the building, there were several small groups of coworkers standing around gossiping. So much had happened over the weekend. The main topic of conversation was about Ting Gap. It was sensational news all over town that someoone had moved into the luxury villa at Silver Hill. Speculation was high as to who had bought it. As Debbie passed people talking about this, she smiled inwardly. If they only knew! As she was reaching her office she was stopped by her Uncle James. He asked her to step into his office for a chat. This almost never happened, so Debbie was a little apprehensive. What could he possibly want to talk about with her? As she walked into Uncle James's office he said to her "Have you heard any rumors about our company? Has anyone asked you about our business dealing with RBG Group?" She replied "No si

Lois had been anxious all day. She had planned to go to Debbie's office to follow her home that afternoon. But when she got to the office, she was stunned to see it crawling with police. Then after everyone was escorted out, the police padlocked the building! What was going on? Was Debbie involved with any of this? Lois decided to call Debbie to find out what was happening. Debbie answered when Lois called. "Hello?" Lois said " I just came from your office. There were police everywhere, then they locked up the building! What on earth is going on?" "Mom, Uncle James and Grandfather were arrested today. They are charged with extortion and embezzlement, among other things. The police had warrants for the finanical records of the company, as well as the contents of Grandfather's house. From what I have heard, they have all the evidence they need to convict them both. The Blain family assets have also been frozen. This will not end well for the Blain family. The family's reput

Tony Hall was at it again. He had come to the underground casino hoping his luck would change. He owed so much money to just about every loan shark in town. Tonight he had once again borrowed money from yet another loan shark to stake his night in the casino. His luck was bound to change, right? As Tony walked into the gambling den, he saw some old friends standing to the side. He walked up and greeted his friends. "How is everyone tonight? Feeling lucky?" They all were surprised to see Tony there. They all knew about his gambling debts and wondered why he was there. "We all are fine! But what are you doing here? Come to lose some more money?" Tony was a bit miffed at this. He said " My luck is bound to change tonight! " With this he turned to a craps table close by and placed a bet and immediately lost! He was not deterred. He placed another bet and again he lost. He had already lost $50,000 in just two bets! At this rate he would be broke in 5 minutes. He decided to change

After Debbie and Lois had come through the front gates of Silver Hill, Lois was all excited. She had dreamed of one day passing those gates into the paradise that lay beyond. As they turned into the drive at Ting Gap, she was even more impressed. The grounds were exquisite and the villa was palatial. When they got out of the car the door was opened by the Butler Li Fan. He said to them "Welcome home Madame Green. And welcome to your guest." As Lois walked into the villa, her mouth dropped open. She had never seen anything so opulent in her life! And this is where my daughter lives? Impossible! Bulter Li Fan then said "Madame, the Master is waiting for you in the family lounge. Would either of you care for a before dinner drink?" Debbie replied "Just tea, thank you Li Fan." Bulter Li Fan showed them into the family lounge and brought Debbie and Lois cups of tea. He then refilled Rick's cup before saying "Dinner is in 20 minutes in the pool house. Will there be anything el

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
