James: The light in my darkness

CHAPTER:5

I thought you'd be happy to hear that I was dying, I thought that was why you were being so good to me. I also suspected that you had an ulterior motive, I admit I was a bit suspicious. I didn't know you had looked up those things. Said Mabel. These miracles happen more often than you think. What….you don't have to come here. James Interfere. Don't worry, I will live no matter what. I acted though, but I was shocked to hear my diagnosis. I was dispirited. A part of me didn't care about what would happen to me. “But if I really had only three months, would receiving treatment even help”? No one would mourn my death. Not even my family, I had all sorts of thoughts.

I see James. But there's one person,you of all people want me to live. Me…..yes of course,yes I do. It has been tough for me,it was too much to handle but seeing you gives me hope. I did my own research unlike in Nigeria, there were similar cases abroad. There are many labs out there that are developing new drugs, they'll be able to speed up the process as long as they have the funds. I'm going to actively look into supporting them.

-Really? Asked James

Are you that happy?Ask Mabel. Yes, of course I answered James. Don't worry, I'm not going to die that easily for your sake. James nodded and left the room.

Abel trying to snap his wife and their baby. Is this for your social media account? Asked his wife. What if it's just a part of your face? Abel replies. But the media will post articles about me, and your parents don't want that. I don't want to worry them.

You're really……. Abel starmered alright. Also Michael told me to keep it a secret since it wasn't confirmed yet. Our finance director? Asked Abel. Yes, replied his wife. About what he asked again. He feels terrible about the eight billion won. It's totally fine said Abel. Still he’s trying to hook you up with someone to make up for that.

-Who?.....

A private equity fund investor. He was the one who invested in the organic coffee deal for GLORIOUS COMPANY.

-Really?.....

His name is David. He's a Nigerian but lives in America but he is recently back to Nigeria. He has control of middle Eastern oil money, and he's here to find new investments. He's looking to invest at least a couple trillion won. Mabel, your sister, has been trying to bring Hercyna into her store. And David is the reason why the brand could launch their first Asian flagship store in Abroad explaining Abel's wife to her husband.

Mabel went to Hercyna Maison to meet Mr Harmann. Hi, hi reply Mabel to the stranger. Congratulations, I'm loving your food section's new renovation. I eat at your food court often these days said the stranger. Right, I heard you came by and often replied Mabel. Anyway, Royal still has a long way to go to be on your level, our deserts need some tweaking. We have a lot to do,once the fountain plaza is built on the first floor, we’re going to bring in Hercyna and we'll work from there. No, we need to work harder, Mabel replied. So what if our food section is great? A department store without Hercyna is just a big restaurant. We also have space for Hercyna. Do you want a tip? Asked Mabel's course mate. Sure, if you want to give me one reply Mabel. Okay, I’m sure you know that Mr Hermann puts company value and minset before anything else. He believes that those who form good relationships with others are the best business partners. That's his belief says Mabel's course mate

- So? Replied Mabel.

- look around you. Every one here has brought their spouse, lover, or family members. You're the only one here who came alone continue the lady

What? Asked Mabel.

You impreess me, everyone knows that you have no friends, but how could you think of coming here of all places by yourself? You're the only lone wolf here. It's just you Mabel, poor you! Mocked the stranger.

Mabel went to the rest room to call her husband.

Where are you? Asked Mabel.

I'm in a trial, replied James.

What did he say ? Asked her course mate.

What did you mean Mabel asked her back. You were frantically calling your husband for help. Is he not coming.

He’s in a trial replied Mabel.

-How fitting.

What?

What can you do, you can't tell him to bail. I think that was a fitting excuse. Says the lady. He's really in a trial. Replied Mabel.

Why are you so serious? I was just kidding. Hey don't mind the rumors, I don't believe them .

What rumors asked Mabel. Am sure you heard, that you two have have separated and will divorce soon. That he only married you for your money. I don't even want to talk about them says the lady. But you have replied Mabel.

I’ve barely begun. You should've had an ordinary marriage. Even gossipers wouldn't have much to talk about had you married someone on your level. I’ve relised something in life. Marriage is about finding a life partner who looks in the same direction as you. My past four years of marriage have been nothing but peaceful. And that piqued my curiosity about couples who couldn't get along.

How does it feel? I've never been mad at my husband before. Why are you asking me question Mabel. You shouldn't take your anger out on me for not being loved by your husband. You should've just married David. Why would you suddenly bring him up? Mabel asked. You don't know anything, do you? Asked her course mate. He's Mr Hermann right - hand man. He's the key to reaching Mr Hermann.
