Chapter 41; It’s time you give me my shares

" I have work for you." He said and after walked away.

Jenny turned to look at Lisa and smirked.

" Hope you heard him well. I am still the team leader." She said.

" Ms Jenny, I am not interested in your position." Lisa spoke.

" You better don't be. Because I won't allow that to happen." Jenny swore angrily and walked away.

Lisa sighed and also went back to the office. When she entered she found Jenny declaring to everyone.

" All of you listen to me. Lisa has just been appointed as the team leader for this project, So I am still your leader." She said but no one seemed to care they all went and sat back on their desks.

Lisa also went and sat quietly.

Lucy was home all that day and he was with Ketra when Joel came from his room. He had slept for so long that he left his room at midday.

He greeted both of them and sat besides Lucy. Ketra knew that they needed to talk and excused herself.

" You didn't go for work ?" Joel asked.

" I stopped working ever since my husband got the accident." Lucy narrated.

" Oh, That's absurd. But I think Canary is taking care of the Company very well." Joel said.

" He is.." Lucy answered.

" Now that I am back, I think I should also go back to the Company." Joel declared.

Before he left he used to work as. Departmental Manager.

Lucy remembered this and nodded.

" That's a good idea." Lucy said.

" True, I remember as the Rivers family we have 40% shares in the Company." Joel reminisced and looked at Lucy with a serious face.

" I think it's time you give me my 20% shares." He declared.

Lucy had seen coming so she swallowed hard and got up.

" Why do you want the shares suddenly?" She asked.

" By then I couldn't get them because I wasn't 24 yet as Our parent's will said." Joel informed and also got up to face Lucy whose back was facing him.

" I think now I'm old enough to handle my property." He said.

She turned around to look at him. " Fine then, I will give you all that belongs to you." Lucy said.

Joel smiled and said. " That's my big sister."

Later Lucy went to her room and sat down to think about it.

Her and Joel as the Rivers had 40% shares, Alexander as the heir of the Andersons Group had 30% shares while the remaining 30% shares belonged to five shareholders who had included two women and three men. This meant that currently Lucy had the biggest shares but now she had to give Joel his.

Each was to have 20% leaving Alexander as the biggest shareholder again with 30%.

But she didn't find any problem at in that.

Back to the Company Lisa was trying to read through the papers Canary had given her but she wasn't understanding somethings.

' I should surely go and ask him about these tasks.'

She thought and got up to head to Canary's office.

When she was at the door she knocked and heard his voice allow her to enter.

He was busy searching something online from the Computer.

Lisa sighed and put the paper in front of him.

" I don't understand most of the things you gave me." She said.

Canary looked up at her with a puzzle but she looked seriously confused.

" What didn't you understand Ms Lisa ?" He asked as he picked the paper.

She bent towards him to the desk to show him what she hadn't understood from the paper. She had to read through with him at ago and now she didn't realize that their heads were just close.

She looked through with him and then started pointing at the words.

" This..this..and this.." She said and turned to face him only to realize that she had really moved close to him and their faces were an inch away.

She felt his deep look into her eyes and remembered the kisses again.

She stood upright immediately.

She stood upright immediately and swallowed hard at thought that he might use this chance to kiss her again.

Canary chuckled and got up to go to one of the books from the shelf.

" Don't worry, I will not kiss you again." He said as he picked one of the books from the shelf.

Lisa couldn't believe his words. Instead of apologizing he was saying this.

He came back with the book and put it for her on the desk.

" Get time and read through that, it might be of help." He said.

She picked the book and turned to go when he disrupted her again.

" You are forgetting something." He said and picked the paper she had left then walked over to her.

" What is it ?" Lisa asked amd begun flinching backwards immediately on seeing him walk towards her.

Canary shook his head and stopped walking.

" It's here.." He said and gave her the paper keeping a distance from her.

She stretched her arm to pick the paper but before she could take it from his hands he asked.

" Why are you trying hard to avoid me ?"

" Who said so ?" Lisa questioned and pulled the paper away from him.

" I am sorry if my previous actions affected you somehow." He declared.

Lisa didn't say a word at this.

" I won't force you to do anything you don't want. So just don't avoid me." He told her and went back to sit.

Lisa felt some relief and embrassement at ago.

' Why am I thinking too much anyway. '

She asked in her head and then left the office.

In the evening when Canary went back to the Mansion Joel had gone somewhere and Lucy was with Alexander and Ketra.

After dinner Lucy asked to talk to Canary.

" Mom, What is it that you want to talk about ?" He asked.

" Your Uncle will be joining the company next week." Lucy informed him immediately.

" Oh, That's good news. I will be glad to work with him." Canary took it easy.

" Canary, I want you to know that Joel shared part of the Company. "

Canary nodded.

" I don't know why I have a bad feeling about this. But I hope that eveything goes well." Lucy said.

" Mom, Don't worry. My dad already told me eveything about the Company shares and all that stuff. I will just do my job as a CEO." He said.

Lucy smiled and cupped his face.

"

Good, I love you my son." Lucy told him lovingly.

" I love you too Mom."

Canary responded and after that they parted.
