Chapter 187

Nicolas

Before I went to my 10 am meeting I made a note to phone my PI before I go to the meeting at 2 pm. I needed that information on Kevin as soon as possible.  I took the coffee Jason gave me and walked to the conference room where Luther and David was sitting already busy with the contract.  Not sure why they needed me but within the first 15 minutes I knew why I was there.  We worked out the contracts for all the companies we are taking on.  David was happy that he will have something to give the company his going to see in an hour and Luther and I were smiling because the money is streaming in.  After the meeting with Luther and David, Sarah walked in and Luther Sarah and I started to look through some CV’s Sarah has already received.  We picked 10 of the best qualified applicants.  Sarah was going to call them back to come to interviews on Friday.  When she was finally out of the boardroom Luther and I where alone.  “So, how’s it going with you and the women in your life?”  He asked.  “Funny you should ask, Nikki has a boyfriend.”  “What?  Isn’t she like 10?”  “Please Luther she’s almost 12, don’t forget it because she will remind you.”  Luther just laughed at me.  “And how does mom and dad feel about it?”  “Not happy not happy at all.  In fact, I’m going to call my PI and find out everything I can about this Kevin kid and his family.”  That made Luther laugh even louder.  “What?”  I asked confused.  “Are you going to call your PI with every boyfriend?”  “Off course I am, what is the use of money if you can’t get information?”  “You know if Nikki ever finds out she’s going to be so pissed at you?”  “Luckily she’s never going to find out.”  “And Nicol?”  “I’m sure she’ll be happy I did what I did.”  “If you say so.”  I looked at my watch.  “Listen I need to go; I need to go and do fatherly stuff.”  I said to Luther.  “Like calling your PI?”  Luther said behind me as I walked out of the conference room.  “Maybe”

When I got to my office, I immediately called my PI “Nicolas so nice to hear from you.”  He said as he connected the call.  “Hi Jeff.  How have you been?”  “Busy.”  “To busy for me?”  “No not at all. What do you need.”  “I need information on a kid his name is Kevin Dyson.”  “A kid?”  “Yes, but I want his whole family history, his mother and father everything.”  “I’m not so sure I’m comfortable with this.”  Jeff said.  “Jeff his dating my 11-year-old daughter I need to know everything there is to know about this kid.”  “Fine I’ll see what I can do.”  “Thank you, Jeff.”  “No problem.”  When we disconnected the call, James popped his head into my office.  “Your town car is downstairs.”  “Fuck is it already time?”  “It is.” I grabbed my laptop and put it in my bag, as I walked past Jason, I asked him “Did you call Nicol?”  “Yes, she’s very happy I’m going to help her.”  “Great, I’m going home after the meeting.”  “No problem I’ll keep the ship running.”  I just smiled at him and got in the lift.  On my way to Malonie Inc, I was still trying to get more information but there was nothing more I could get, which means I’m going into this meeting without knowing what the fuck they are importing, it could be drugs, diamonds but then again it could be cloths, car parts, wine the list is endless.  The car stopped in front of a very impressive building.  I paid and got out.

I was standing in front of the building looking up and somewhere in my mind I’m sure I had to know this building but I couldn’t but my finger on it. It was bugging the shit out of me as  I walked in, but nothing looked familiar.  The security stopped me and asked who I was going to see.  I told them I’m here for Mr. Malonie they asked me my name and asked me to wait while they call upstairs to make sure I had an appointment.  All this was already a bit suspicious for me, why do an import company need so many securities or was I just overthinking it, that was the big question?  Within 10 minutes it was confirmed that I indeed have an appointment with William Malonie, they gave me a visitor’s sticker and took me to a lift where a security guard rode up with me to the top floor.  When the doors opened, he walked me to the receptionist before he got back in the elevator.  Don’t get me wrong I also have security at my company but this, this is a bit excessive.  I’m very sure they were dealing in illegal stuff which means I don’t want any part of it.  But I will give them the benefit of the doubt until I’ve heard them out.  Although I was starting to feel uncomfortable and I had no idea why.

I was sitting in the reception area probable for 10 minutes which was already unacceptable in my book but be that as it may, when a young girl she was probable 22 fresh out of Uni came to fetch me, I already knew Mr. Malonie where fucking this girl it was as clear as day.  When she walked me into his office he even said “Thank you Sheral.”  “Mr. Brown so nice of you to come.”  He said like I had a previous meeting which I didn’t pitched for, he made my blood bowl a bit just with that greeting but I kept my smile on my face.  “Mr. Malonie so nice to meet you.”  “Yes, like wise. I’ve heard a lot about you.”  “Excuse me Sir, do we know the same people?”  “Don’t you know son?”  Fuck first of all I’m not your son but I bit my tongue and second of all would I have asked if I knew, but I said none of that.  “No what should I know?”  “Karen Malonie is my daughter.”  What the actual fuck?
