The Bid

As dawn breaks, people preparing to go to work, while the lazy ones are still in the bed.

For the real estate industry, this is a time of great importance.

A land worth billions now a hot cake in the industry. This land in question is situated near the center of the city.In the past this area was full of desolated buildings and bushes but currently a hot spot which is increasingly developing and having a lot of inhabitants.

For generations, the Jones have been known as tricky and cunning business minded people. They will go through any means whether legal or illegal, dubious or upright means just to get what they want. To the outside world, after having held that land for generations they are willing to now sell it but this is their last resort in holding up their business since they're on the verge of bankruptcy.

Oblivious to everyone, the head of the Jones family, Mr Bruce Jones, can be described as a stout man, always wearing glasses and looks easygoing but very difficult to approach.

Pacing in his office, the various departments heads especially the transports head standing in front of his desk with their heads looking down. Mr Jones lashes out them angrily.

Just this morning, they were expecting their goods to arrive by ship at the port. Planning on coming to the company this morning, as he stepped into his car his phone rang. To his horror, his goods which arrived at the port just this dawn is nowhere to be found.

Still reeling from the shock, all efforts to retrieve back his goods has not been successful.

Robert, Greg's assistant after making the necessary arrangement as instructed informs Greg. Relaxing in his office, Greg receives an Intel on the situation at the Jones Company.

Greg on receiving the Intel, makes somes calls. After they head towards the venue of the bidding event with Chelsea tagging along since she has been working on this project for a long time and very conversant with the project.

Covering up the situation at hand, they make the necessary preparations as today is the first hearing of the bids of all the companies who wish to buy the land.

In a large conference room, representatives from various companies takes their seats as the program starts.

An hour later, Greg climbs the podium as he starts talking. The whole conference room becomes silent as everyone weighs what the new heir to the top leading real estate company has to say and if he really is capable.

Greg not perturbed by the probing looks, starts talking. After an hour.... thank you... everyone is so involved in the presentation that they don't realize he is done. The host clears his voice as he is given a round of applause .

After the ceremony, other colleagues comes to greet Greg, tired after a long day they finally leave the venue.

Chelsea excited after all the program ended successful. At the next junction Robert unwillingly alights after repeated signals from Greg.

Finally alone in the car, Chelsea becomes a bit nervous as she moves towards the other end of the car trying to make space between Greg and her. Unfortunately, Greg already noticing her actions moves closer till she is just at the door.

Do you want to pass through the door, darling? Flustered at how flirty he is after being serious earlier,...no..no... I just wants fresh air. Oww but the AC is already high or are you in the mood for something else. As Greg lessen the space between their faces, the car comes to a stop. Sir please we have arrived. Chelsea so glad, jumps out of the car hurriedly as she makes way up the stairs.

Grinning, don't worry dear I will definitely make it up to you. Greg slowly steps out of the car as he also goes to the office.
