Chapter 109 The Plan

Yes is time to get up and prove them all wrong. Ken got up and went straight to Ben’s office.

You need to start looking for a location, he told Ben.

What for?

We need another branch, I need it almost immediately.

What is going on?  You need to calm down and tell what is happening.

Can’t you see that someone is after us? Ken ask.

Yes, I know, but opening another location so soon will not do the company any good.

I know, but we have to try first.

Ok, so when do I leave? 

“To or tomorrow.”

“What?” 

“Yes, is urgent Ben.

I think I saw someone who looks like Ken’s brother, Mr. Tom said.

Hmmm, I think there are getting the message.

Yea, we should have done that a long time ago. Mr. Tom said.

I can see there are running up and down now, I will show them what it means to betray someone, and I will never forgive them Mr. Tom said. 

You need to take it easy you know, the lady reminded Mr. Tom who is looking like devil himself when he said the word “i will never forgive them.”

There is nothing to take easy, just move fest and bring them down.

You have my word; the lady said and went away.

Peter was busy with the ladies and they all loved him, he always promise them thing he himself cannot get, while his wives are busy with their own lives making a living without peter’s help.

Are you married? One of the lady ask.

Naaa, I can’t be married, am for the girls you know” peter said only for his eyes to meet with Gina who is just passing by them.

Excuse me ladies I have something to take care of, but if you girls promise to always visit and come back with more customers for our hotel, you are sure of a special treat by me.”

Really? They all yell.

Yes, is me your only pero. The man for the ladies.

Yeaaa… they all shouted.

He left them and hurried to meet Gina.

“Heyy, Gina”

What do you want?

Listen is not what you think ok, I am doing what is call marketing for the beautiful ladies.

Ok, so how has that been going for you?

Well, very well, is just that you are not seeing it now, but sooner or later you will begin to see all my effort to make this hotel grow.

Really? Gina ask.

Yes, really.

And that is why you are not married? Gina ask.

Ohh.. About that, peter said scratching his head, i..i.. is part of the marketing strategies you know. 

Hmmm, really? Gina ask. That is good then,  just make sure you are not giving out all our food for free, she said and keep moving.

Sure, they will be the ones to even bring their own food from the house. Or no, what am I saying?, he ran back to the girls but they are all been taken by men who just entered the hotel.

Heyy… pero, one of the ladies call out waving at him as he wants to turn around and go.

Come here pero, she keep waving and he has no option than to go to her.

Come, we want to place ordered, this guys are bigger boys you know, they have their own hotel where the go to relax but we call them to come here and patronize you. Don’t forget your promise, because more are coming.

Peter’s eyes widen. Is this a dream? My strategies are really working. Yes, yes. What do you want to order sirs?, he almost bow but stood up again.

You don’t have menu?

Ohh…. No, forgive me sirs; let me bring the menu for you. He ran to get it, almost pushing people down.

Am, sorry, am sorry, am sorry, he keeps saying as he walk,  because he almost bombed into everyone.

Yes,, yes… yes… I hit the jackpot.

What is it.

What for? Ken ask

Are you selling or not? I said give me the menu and put on your apron to start serving my royal customers.

Ken just looked at him, am not the one serving foods peter, am the CEO of this company.

If you need the menu you can always take it from the receptionist, or any of the table, is been place at every table. you don’t have to come all the way to my office, Peter…, Ken almost yell at him.

Ohhh.. Sorry, forgive me I almost forgot, he ran back to the receptionist, took the menu and hurried back to them. And they start placing their orders.

What that fu..k Ken yell after peter left, am almost going crazy, and peter is not helping matters at all, he always add to my problems ever since I became friends with him.

 I think my wife is right, I need to defined this relationship before peter completely drives me crazy.

Before he finishes his statement his wife came hurrying  towards him.

Ohh… goodness, what is it again he murmured ones he saw his wife hurrying towards him, this people are going to kill me before my time.

Hello love ken force a smile.  What is happening why are you in such a hurry? Ken ask.

Love you can’t believe this.

What is it?.  ken didn’t want to hear any more bad news, he is sick and tired of hearing bad news.

What has peter done this time? In fact don’t tell me anything about peter because as am talking to you right now, he is fired. Ken yell, I have had enough of peter, you are right love, I need to tell peter off, he has to go. He is fired.

But why? Gina ask.

But why not? Ken reply.

He hasn’t done anything to be fired, in fact he just brought people that place orders in millions, they are still there as we speak and they are ordering more. They said that more people are coming, and the best part is that they love our food and they said they want to make this place their permanent hotel whenever they come to town.

Really? Ken yell and hug his wife.
