Time has started

"What ??? How.. how can they suddenly do this ? " With creased and knotted eyebrows Edward Jones slammed the desk in front of him.

Earlier after giving medicines to Edward Jones, Henry went out of the meeting room while the meeting continued. When Henry went out he got a call from Starlight Entertainments that they want to cancel their contract for building the second office for the Starlight Entertainments. The call from the Starlight Entertainments was dialed by the secretary incharge who called Henry and told him that they wish to cancel their contract and the lawyers from there will arrive at Jones Enterprises to talk about the contract cancellation.

The whole meeting room was chaotic. It was already very hard for the company to secure any other projects or deals. And now this chaos. All the other projects which they already had in their hands, were being cancelled.

-------------------------------------------

Soon there was a ringing sound in the meeting room. Edward Jones's phone kept ringing for two three times. Finally one of the directors in the meeting room reminded him.

" President Jones, I think there is an urgent call for you. Your phone has an incoming call."

Edward Jones raised his eyebrow and replied with a "Hmph". After listening to the news from the next side of the call Edward Jones's face turned pale while the phone from his hand fall down crashing down on the floor.

Everyone gazed at Edward Jones's face with a questioned look and raised eyebrows.

"Finished.."

"That.. how.. did.. this happened. "

Edward Jones started mumbling something while shooking his head vigorously. Everyone in the room was staring at him. Soon after there was a knock on the door and without waiting for any answer or approval Henry entered the meeting room and strode towards Edward Jones with a worried expression on his face.

"President Jones... just now.. "

While Henry was speaking and reporting him about the news he just got, Edward Jones interrupted him in between.

"I know.. I received the call just now.. "

After Edward Jones finished a few words, Henry lowered his head and saw a broken phone on the floor.

'Today's have been really hard for President Jones.' Henry thought in his mind.

Soon one of the directors spoke in between and asked in a confused tone.

" President Jones, what is happening? You should tell us now. "

" Yes, just now you dropped the phone in shock and your secretary rushed into the meeting room to report you about something. What is the matter? "

Edward Jones returned to his senses when he heard the wave of questions from the directors. He let out a small sigh before explaining.

"The last project of our company which was on the verge of completion.. "

He paused and gestured to Henry to distribute a copy of the file he has just received to each of the directors. Edward heavily sighed and asked Henry to continue with the rest of the news.

"We just got bad news from there. On the 12th floor of the building some of the workers were doing drug dealing from the past few months and somehow yesterday the police got hold of this news and they have sealed that building. Also, the workers were from the drug dealing clan and an insider gave them tokens to enter the building. After investigation police have informed this much only."

Everyone in the company was stunned after Henry finished speaking. No one was able to react at that moment. It was yet to realise and digest the news they got. All the past problems were yet to be resolved and now some new chaos came from nowhere.

This was indeed a big shock for everyone, not to mention the stock market of the company would indeed get implicated after the news was leaked. To stabilise and in order to further investigate the situation Edward Jones planned to request the police officers to maintain this incident hidden and as a secret for a while. But how was this even possible. The news of the Jones Enterprises building being sealed spread like fire in business as well as all over news channels. Before Edward could request police officers, those officers who were there at the building already gave a confirmation.

All the news channels showed the building being sealed by the officers and also how all the culprits were pushed into the police van. Some of the news channels started broadcasting about past scandals of the company. This time it was indeed confirmed that the downfall of the company has started. Their time has started !
