บท 55: Grace

After making the call, Jack welcomed Evans and the others into the mansion. These guys had worked hard unloading over twenty cars. So, they needed to rest. For that reason, they could rest while waiting for George.

Of course, since he had no maid, Jack entered the kitchen and prepared coffee for Evans and the others. As they took sips of the coffee, they chatted about this and that. During this period of time, Jack mostly listened to what they were saying.

He had gotten used to not speaking too much. After all, back at the Alfonso mansion, even if he wanted to speak to others, who would talk to him after all, they ostracized him. As a result, he was used to speaking only when necessary.

About 20 minutes later, George arrived. He was dazzled by the rows of cars that were parked in palace's compound. The moment that he saw them, he immediately knew that they were the ones that Jack had ordered previously.

After all, he could see the same logo on the cars as the ones that were painted on the stores. He was mesmerized by Jack's way of thinking. After all, there were not many people who could decide to buy so many vehicles for their subordinates when they were just at starting phase of the company.

Even their Dante corporation only had a few cars that were used by the top most management of the company. It was not that they were poor, it was just that they thought that it wasn't necessary.

On the other hand, Jack had bought an apartment where the staff members in Yellow street as well as Alpine street could reside in. Although the stores at the apartment that he had bought weren't far away from each other, Jack allowed them to use the Bentley Bentayga to move around.

Getting out of his thoughts, George immediately rushed towards the mansion. He had almost forgotten that there were people that were waiting for him.

Although this was not the first time that he had been here, he still could not help but be impressed by the mansions.

"Oh, George is here," Jack stated the moment that he saw George entering the mansion. Evans who was chatting with some of his subordinates immediately stopped. He rose to his feet as he bid goodbye to Jack.

With that, he left alongside his subordinates. After the two of them remained, it seemed that George had something to say to Jack.

"What is it? Just say it out loud, there's no need to hide anything." Jack said.

After a moment of arranging his thoughts, George finally spoke. "Boss, there's someone who's trying to cause trouble for the stores. If I am not wrong, it should be my third uncle."

Jack frowned the moment that he heard that there was someone who was trying to cause trouble for the stores that he had just opened. A week was only going to end on this day yet there was someone causing trouble.

And the moment that he heard that it might be George's third uncle, his frown deepened even further. He began thinking if there was a time that he had offended someone from the Dante family.

"Who is your third uncle?" Jack asked after thinking for a long time without getting any result.

"My third uncle is called Frank." George replied honestly. Although he was not using the family's influence during the past five years, he still had someone who informed him of what is happening in the family.

Thus, although the gangsters that had began causing trouble were not that much obvious, he was sure they would start being active in about a week. According to the information that he gotten, this group of gangsters was hired by his third uncle.

But the only problem till this moment was that, he did not know what was the reason behind it.

The moment that George mentioned Frank, it was the moment that Jack suddenly remembered the incident that had occurred on Saturday. On that day, he had gone to check out the building when he met with Frank who was barking threats and curses.

The guy had pointed his finger at him and Jack had dislocated it. Thinking of this, he wondered if this was the reason as to why he had began causing problems for him or if it was related to him buying the building. If George hadn't mentioned about that guy, Jack would have already forgotten about him.

After thinking things through, he thought that it seemed that he couldn't get answers at this moment. So, he decided to set this matter aside for the moment. Since this guy was from the Dante family, it wasn't a surprise that he could investigate Jack's identity.

As for how much information he had gotten, Jack wasn't worried at all. Since he was a member of Alfonso family not more than a week ago, only the information that he had revealed here in Inchoate could be found.

Now that they had began sending gangsters to his store, it was obvious that this guy wanted to play underhanded tricks. Jack wasn't going to let thus slide. He was going to hurry up the issue of getting the security company.

In this way, he would have people to deploy to deal with such cases. So, he made a decision to call the other party as early as possible. With that thought in mind, he turned his gaze to George and said, "Worry not about that. As long as he doesn't cross the line, we can deal with the little gangsters."

George nodded. After all, he knew that this matter concerned his family as well. Frank was a member of the Dante family. If Jack decided to get back at him, he would obviously attack the companies that were under him.

But, the position that Frank was holding was the CEO of one of the companies under Dante corporation. If Jack attacked the company, he would surely be attacking the Dante family.

In the end, this would evolve to a war between the Dante family and Jack. Although Jack wasn't in a good relationship with his family currently, with his actions during the past week, it was obvious that he had a big background that wasn't Alfonso family.

After all, how else would he get the money, millions of dollars to do things the way that he was? It was obvious that it was impossible for him to be a prodigal considering that everything that he was doing had its own role in the long run.

Although he had bought so many cars at the same time, it still didn't seem to affect his money flow at all.

After talking for a little while longer, George left With one of the cars that had been parked here. Jack then decided that he would call Chris to come with the other managers to pick a car that would be used by them.

He was just about to call when his phone rang. Looking at the unfamiliar number, Jack frowned for a moment. He wondered who it was that was calling him.

But anyway, he received the call. The moment that it connected, a female voice came over. "Hello, is this Mr. Jack?"

"Yes it is. May I know who I'm speaking to?" Jack inquired.

"I'm Grace. Miss. Gravy gave me your phone number and told me that you needed a manager." The lady replied.

From the voice, Jack could feel the confidence as well as expectation. But, what had surprised him was the fact that the other party had called him. He had thought that they would talk about the issue on the following day. Who knew that she would call in advance?

"Oh, hello Mrs. Grace. It's true that I wanted a manager. The position is the general manager of a department. It is already stabilized but there are some of the things that still need to be adjusted." Jack spoke.

"Oh, I see. Is there any requirement that I need to fulfill?" Grace asked. There was a hint of joy in her voice as well.

"Well, since it was Celine that recommended you, I assume that your performance is good. As a result, I won't trouble you that much. So, I can say that you can start working after we sign a contract." Jack replied.

According to the descriptions that he had gotten from Celine about Grace, he felt that she was good. That was the trait of the person that could manage a department. After all, there was no way that he was going to take an indecisive person to manage a business for him.

But if she performs poorly, there was still the issue of him sacking her. He didn't want to suffer unwanted losses for nothing.

"Okay then. I'll be there on time. So, at what time can we discuss the issue about the contract?" Grace asked.

"Tomorrow at around nine. I assume that you're coming to Inchoate city. So, let's meet at the Business Overlord Building, seventh floor." Jack said.

"Okay. I'll be there on time." Grace replied before Jack hang up the call.

Now that one of the issues was out of the way, it was time for him to look at the security company. Scrolling through his contact list, he found the contact that Haman had given him.

The owner of Safety Enforcers was called Edwin. So, Jack immediately made a call.

Not long after that, the call was received and an enquiring heavy male voice came through. "Hello, who's this?"

"Hello, I'm Jack. Mr. Edwin, I was referred to you by Mr. Haman." Jack replied.
