Chapter 4: Next Phase

I in the meantime was packing out my locker as I got fired for being late and also telling the boss he was a fat big.

As I took up my bag Karma, the chief/ friend, said, "I am going to miss you around here half-pint."

I chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I will survive."

"Hey! Do I need to call security to throw your ass out," asked Samuel, the Manager.

"One of these days I will own this building. And I will be your boss and then we will see who laughs last," I quickly told him.

"Just because your crack head kid's last name is Moore you believe she is a Princess. But she is not and I hope she loses that case on Monday.

Maybe then they can buy her organs," he quickly told me and I slapped him in the face.

As he held it I said, "Make any more jokes about my daughter and I will skin you alive."

"You are fired! And you can kiss working in this town. I know people. Now get out," Samuel quickly yelled.

I then said, "Don't worry fat so I am going."

Karma smiled and I went outside.

He then yelled, "Back to work!"

Everyone then went. As I walked to the bus stop Michael's Lamborghini flew past with the Range Rovers behind him. I stopped at the bus stop and watch the convoy vanished.

I smiled and said, "What I wouldn't do for a car like that."

I then mourned and the bus came. Sharon in the meantime was in the Limousine leaned back.

"You OK," asked Michael to her.

"I am going to be in prison the day after my birthday. I am alright," replied Sharon to him.

Michael smiled and said, "The case has been resolved. My people had a chat with Seattle News and your dad owns the station.

As a resolution, you will be doing their website for the launch of Moore News Group. As for anything else, SurTech Limited will get free publicity."

"Thanks," replied Sharon as she drank her soda.

"But you need an office. It is time you take the company to new heights. And Moore Communications Group owns 25% I can arrange for funding," replied Michael to her.

"What I need is another mother. She is the reason we meet secretly and she doesn't even know about this. And I hate the motel," replied Sharon as she leaned back.

Michael then quickly asked, "Is Mr. Fields giving you grief again? Because as part of the sale I told him to leave you guys alone."

"No! In fact, he worked a deal out with my mother. In exchange for doing the books, she stays for free. Which is perfect as a mom can't make rent for the last 3 months," replied Sharon to him.

Michael then said, "Wow! She is Lucky I bought our Rostand Savings & Loans Inc. when I did or you would be in foster care."

"No! I know where you live. I have never been inside but it looks cool from the outside," Sharon told him as she ate chocolates.

Michael then chuckled as he stared at her and Sharon asked, "What? Do I have something on my face?"

"No! Just that I always wanted a daughter. And I also got my wish. And now I do but it won't last," replied Michael as he looked at her.

Sharon exhaled and said, "Alright! Look tomorrow is my birthday. I will find an excuse and come over for us to spend the day together."

"Fine," replied Michael to her and Sharon said, "I love you. Well, I love any man that put up with my mother."

The limousine stopped and Michael said, "I guessed this is you."

"Sure. But I will call you," answered Sharon as she got her purse.

Michael then gave her a First National Commercial Bank Debit Card and said, "This card is part of the Moore family Trust fund scheme. Each member has a 20 Million Investment portfolio and the profits come to your account.

There is 20 Million in it already. And your monthly dispensary is $1 Million. So spend it wisely. And don't let your mom find out."

Sharon exhaled and said, "Yea! The first place I am going is to the bank to pay off mom's debts."

Michael hugged her and she got out.

Then the convoy drove off. Michael then exhaled as he enjoyed the little time he spent with his daughter. Sharon then went across the road to the Rostand Savings & Loans.

Meanwhile at the Moore Helipad Richmond Smith, CLO of Moore Corporations, touchdown in a White Luxury Blackbird Helicopter. As Richmond came out he saw Micah Bryan, Group CEO of Moore Corporations, sitting on the hood of a Black Porsche GT Sports Car.

"Richmond! Welcome back," replied Micah as he popped a bottle of Champagne.

Richmond exhaled and said, "You might want to put the champagne in as we are close to losing the contract."

Micah dropped the bottle and asked, "How the hell did you mess it up?"

"On the contrary, he loves the proposed designs. And he is happy with Michael's acquisition of the proposed site," replied Richmond to him.

Micah then asked, "What the hell is the problem?"

"The problem is that he wants a first-hand look at the building technology factory and our operations. And the raw material. He is coming tomorrow," replied Richmond to him.

Micah then asked, "Where is the bad in that?"

"He only deals with a family man. And when I mentioned Richard did the designs and he was the head of Moore Engineering Group. And it was to be the engineering arm of Moore Corporations and build his project.

He asked what Mrs. Moore did for a living," replied Richmond before he swallowed.

"And? What did you tell him," asked Micah to him?

Richmond then said, "Well long story short. Donovan is coming here on Monday and he believes Michael is married to a doctor and they have a kid together. And she is an amazing stepmother to Richard."

Micah chuckled and said, "Tell him that bullshit when he gets back after lunch. But stand near the door so when Volcano Michael erupts you run. It has been nice knowing you."

With that, he walked away.

As Micah reached the door he texted Richard: Our boy played into our trap. And now you are on track for a stepmother.

Richard got the text as Jane drove off, in her brand new white 2016 Range Rover.

He smiled after reading it and replied: Proceed as planned.

Micah replied: Copy that sir.

With that, he headed back to Moore Motor Complex.

I was on the bus when Rostand Savings & Loans email me saying:

Dear Miss Celia Anderson,

We are writing to informed you that your account with us has been closed. We appreciate your business with us.

Your account was closed by your daughter, Sharon Moore. She paid the accounts in full and you are clear. Your account, with the balance of $ 25 000, has been unfrozen. So feel free to go to any of our branches Mondays - Saturdays 9 am - 5 pm to update or replace your card.

And feel free to be involved in any of our 100 loans, savings accounts, and Investment portfolio, and safety deposits.

Yours truly,

Daren Clarkson, MD of Rostand Savings & Loans

I then pushed the button and got off on Franklin Avenue. I then went to the Rostand Plaza, HQ of Rostand Savings & Loans. I went to the MD's office.

As I went in past the secretary she said, "Miss! You can't go in there."

I barged in on Daren getting a back rub from a stripper. She was in a green wig and in two-piece lingerie where large white ass outside.

I whistled and said, "I definitely need to get a job in a bank."

Daren and the stripper quickly stood up.

The secretary then said, "Sorry sir! I tried to stop her."

"It’s ok Alyssa. An army couldn't stop her," replied Daren as I sat in her chair in the next room.

Then he locked the door and asked, "What do you want Miss Anderson?"

"My broke daughter who can't accord a $300 an hour lawyer to save her ass. But she magically found $150 grand in three hours. That's absurd. I know Moore Financial acquired this corporation six months ago.

I want to know where the money came from," I quickly told him.

He exhaled and said, "Michael inquired about your account. But he didn't pay it. I have CCTV footage of her paying it."

I then said, "I want to see it."

He then pulled up the footage. Sharon then paid with her FNCB Debit card.

I then exhaled and said, "That bastard. He gave her a credit card."

"Ok. So that is all you need to know," that I left.

I then went straight home and stormed in. Sharon was eating when I walked in and started searching her bags.

She then asked, "Where the Debit Card Michael gives you?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about. I got the money via a resolution from Seattle News. In exchange for building their website and do their online campaign. I have had an account at FNCB since you too dated," she quickly told me.

I looked straight into her eyes and said, "Bullshit! I know he gave you cash. You always saw the best of him. And not the monster he is."

She screamed and said, "Yes! I reached out to him."

"Why would you do that," I quickly asked her.

"Because I was tired of this hell hole and you using your pussy to try and save us. But it is not helping us," she quickly told me and I slapped her.

As she held her face I said, "Don't disrespect me."

With tears in her eyes, she ran outside. Before I could call her back my phone vibrated and it was Jane calling. I just quickly ran.
