A Billionaire's Conundrum Chapter hundred twenty one
The monitoring room looked like something from a science fiction movie. Wired and computers lined the walls and a man dressed much like Hanson would when he was in his 'tech cave' sat at the desk. "Excuse us," the woman said stiffly to the man and he quickly left, no doubt recognizing her no-questions tone. "What are we looking at?" Jeremy asked as she led them to the desk and sat down. "You asked for the videos from earlier, didn't you?" She asked and Sinclair nodded but said, "I'd prefer if you gave us the tapes, we'll take the time to view it, I'm sure we wouldn't want to waste much of your time, huh?" The woman glared at him and pointed at the monitor, "This is the best I can do for you, I can't let you take the tapes," she said stubbornly. "We'll burn them, all we need is a copy," Sinclair insisted but she shook her violently and got up from the desk, "I said, no, take it or leave it." Jeremy moved her aside and sat on the desk, scrolling through the mute images. It was a da

Hilda was standing over a mini bridge. Below was a clear lake, the surface rippling with the soft wind. Beside her stood Gilbert, his hands shoved in his pockets. She hadn't felt any better in a very long time. Her eyes sparkled with excitement and her hands held the banister of the small bridge a little too tightly. "He will be here any moment now, Mother," Gilbert said, mirroring his mother's excitement. Hilda nodded at her son, she was quite sure that their guest would come. "Oh I am pretty sure he will come, I have made him an offer even the angels can't resist," Hilda replied with a smile. "That's blasphemy, mother," Gilbert reminded her dutifully. Hilda merely smiled and shrugged, "Not when I'm telling the truth, Eugene and I have been able to convince him that the only way to remain in the city or indeed the land of the living is to partner with us," She said, her tone mischievous. Gilbert laughed, he trusted his mother when he came to negotiations, like she rightly said, sh

The young man on seeing Jeremy tried to walk away but he was stopped by Hilda. "You don't have to leave, Jeremy here is the intruder," she said loudly. "You said no one else would be here, you said it's just us," he argued, pulling his hoodie down his head. "You don't have to do that, I know who you are already," Jeremy said and the man groaned, looking at him oddly. He pulled off his hoodie and that was when Jeremy saw him for real. Jeremy had been bluffing when he said that he knew the young man, he didn't. But he'd easily deceived him into thinking he had already. Even before he pulled off his sunglasses, Jeremy knew exactly who he was. "You're the man from the military," he said. "I don't want to talk about it," the man replied through gritted teeth. Hilda rolled her eyes at the exchange and then turned to Jeremy sighed a questioning glance. "What did you think would happen here? He'd just run to you and be by your side?" She asked with a laugh, "You have no idea how far we'v

Hilda stumped the length of the room furiously, her eyes thin slits of rage. She couldn't get her feet to stop moving and it was giving Eugene a headache. "Will you stop moving, you're making me dizzy and it's not helpful," he said. Hilda glared at him, she was looking for a way to vent, but then she knew Eugene couldn't be her target, she was still pretending to be cordial with him. "This is very frustrating, Eugene, can you believe that boy? He came and destroyed our entire plan," she said and groaned loudly. Eugene nodded, it was obvious that Bradford wanted to renegotiate and that was all thanks to Jeremy's interference. "Maybe we should have been more careful with the meeting, like last time," he said. "You think this is my fault? I did everything as we agreed, I didn't call him, I didn't text him, I dropped a message to him by the delivery man and he showed up there, how on earth did he get followed!" She snapped, sighing at all the failed efforts. "Maybe he wasn't the one

Bradford Kingston sat on the low stool in the dimly lit bar. He left his cane at him because he didn't want to announce to the crowd that he had a bad leg. He had to stay strong, he had to remain powerful in the battle he'd just found himself. He still had a smile on his face from the confrontation with the woman, Hilda, and her lunatic son. He couldn't help but be pleased at how quickly the table had turned and she was now on the receiving end. "I have to be strong," he muttered to himself as he ordered another glass of sparkling water. Bradford looked at his watch again and groaned, he was running late for his interview and it was the third time he'd postponed it that week, he didn't want to do that again. With another glass of water, he went to the restroom, he needed a free bladder to strike a good deal after all - and most importantly no alcohol in his system. But just as Bradford walked to the restroom, Sinclair and Jeremy walked right in. Sinclair took the adjourning table,

The days were growing even warmer in California and Jeremy wondered if the concept of global warming was going to be the only thing reported on the news. Even as he sat, he could hear the reporter croon on and on about saving the planet. "But we've ruined it already, not like we can just give it some antibiotics to make it all go away," he commented dryly as he watched the news. Sinclair who was right beside him was a little more concerned and began to give him a lecture on how to stop emissions and save the environment. Speaking of saving, Jeremy was reminded that he wanted Sinclair back at his firm and saved from the scorn of the other partners. He deserved a happy life and he didn't have to be hurt just because they were friends. "How's the renovations at the firm going?" He asked and Sinclair nodded, "It's going smoothly," he replied vaguely, not really what he wanted to hear. "I don't think that's a positive response, Sinclair, what's going on?" He asked with a frown. "Liste

The news headline was shocking. Jeremy wondered if it was all made up or a lie. "How did you find this?" He asked. "I think Bradford had a way of stopping the major news sites from publishing it, maybe an insider," Christy replied. "Bradford has an insider in California? Didn't he just arrive here?" Sinclair asked, surprised. "That's what he made us believe," Christy replied and that was when Jeremy sneered. He was reminded that she had been the investigator in the first place. "Made you believe, you mean?" Jeremy asked her, his eyes narrowed to slits, "You were the one who was hired to investigate Bradford what did you do? You fucking made us believe you had him figured out! You said he was just a military guy with some PTSD and now he's the one with the connection to stop media houses from getting a juicy story out there? Really, who is this guy?" Christy sighed, "Can we sit down and talk?" She asked and Sinclair cut right in, "No, we can't, you will say whatever you have to sa

The Kingston mansion looked the same as it had for all the times that he'd visited. But Jeremy could almost smell the excitement in the air as he stepped into the living room. Even the servants who were a little weary didn't even ask them who they came to see, they simply asked him in and gave him a seat and two glasses of the best champagne. "Is it just me or you can smell something different around here?" Jeremy asked as he looked around the room. "Yeah, the staff aren't as uppity as they usually are," Sinclair noted. Jeremy laughed, so he was right, they did look a little easy that day. Shortly after, another maid came and asked them to go to the dining hall and have a proper lunch. "I'm not ready to have the last supper," Sinclair replied meaningfully and the maid frowned and walked off. "What's with the niceties?" Jeremy asked just as Hilda came down from the stairs and walked into the room. "Can't you be a gentleman and enjoy a little luxury?" She asked as she took a seat
