Knowledge is Power

The project has been set in motion while it may be time-consuming, I believe, the board members and their families also see this as the only solution to our current problem.

"Sir, we have completed most of the preparations for the banquet. Was it really necessary to send out a person to spy on Mr. Tiele?" "Of course it was necessary. This is the first time he has agreed to attend one of our events and we may finally convince him to sign on as a partner. The man is shrewd and rumor has it he only shows favour to a select few. We must learn everything we can about him." Tap Tap Tap "Sir, I have come to give my report." "Perfect timing, you may proceed."

"Mr.Tiele was consistent in following his usual routes from home to work then back. He works about 13 hours a day every work day. On day 4 of this week he managed to avoid an assassination attempt at a restaurant which, put one of his gaurd's life at risk as well as three of his workers. He was in a foul mood for the rest of the day leading into the next. He refused to eat everything set before him."

"Well, the man still has to eat. What was his solution? Will he even eat the food served at the banquet?"

"Well he, left work early with a file in hand, he sent his guards away with his car to act as a decoy, while he then drove himself to a house in the nearby forest. I watched through the window as he quickly, grabbed a seat, grabbed a plate, and ate two helpings of food. He even ate dessert with no questions, fear, or hesitation. He also laughed and conversed with the family for a long time before finally returning to work, then home. End of report."

Mr.Briggs sat and pondered for a while who were these people who held this man's unrestrained trust? What was their connection to the ruthless shark and king of the business industry? In his mind these people presented a profitable opportunity and possibly even the key to his assured success.

"Run a background check, get me all the information you can on them, and give them an invitation to the banquet, these people may be useful to us yet. Dismissed." "Yes, sir."

What determines a friend? What qualities would others use to justify calling someone their friend. Just like water acts as a mirror to reflect your face so does your life and friends reflect the heart of who you are. But, what if you don't have friends? If bad company spoils good character then the opposite could be true as well.

"I'll have to experiment with that theory one day..." "What theory did you come up with this time Lil?" "Maybe you'll have the honor of knowing someday Ash." "Yeah, right. Anyways why did dad leave you in charge, if I'm the oldest?" "Hmmm, I wonder maybe he was worried you'd burn the house down." "Yeah, Lil, I just have two things to say. One, that innocent expression doesn't fool me and two I can't believe you told him." "Ash, you know I mean you no harm. You're my brother and I love you but I also care very much for this home it's the only memory I have left of mom. Do you want me to leave with step mother? To learn to 'become a proper lady' so that you can be in charge of this place?" "Lilly she was my mom too and that's not what I meant. I know how much this place means to you, I just wish dad trusted me as much as he trusts you." "I mean he trusts you enough to look after me. You and Roam even got the chance to go to school. We can't have everything we want in life." "Sis do you realize you're probably the only person complaining, about not going to school." "They may as well make the most of it. If they don't they're the ones missing out, believe me."
