The dare
The people mocked Tyson to their heart's content but the subject of their topic was standing there, unconcerned.
It's like the whole discussion had nothing to do with him.
Tyson had a pleasant smile on his face, irking the people even more.
Samantha on the other hand stood there awkwardly. This is why she didn't want to have Tyson to tag along.
" Grandpa,we brought some gifts for you." Samantha announced.Her words however made the people present burst out laughing.
She didn't hear or see anything funny about what she just said.
" What gifts can that good for nothing? are you sure he didn't go scarvaging in the garbage cans for thrown out stuff, hahaha!" Shannon said, making the whole room burst out laughing again.
" Gifts? I am sure they are counterfeit goods obtained at a throw away price." Another chimed in.
" You shouldn't embarrass yourself, you should just come and enjoy free food before Leaving." Malicious comments were by the members of the Lewis family.
old man Lewis was so pleased aduet hearing the comments directed to Tyson.
His main aim was to embarrass in front of the family and the few invited guests to take Revenge for his precious grandson.
He couldn't go and confront Ethan Turner for throwing his grandson out and embarrassing him in front of others, but he could do that to Tyson.
Afterall, he was the main reason why such a thing happened to Brian in the first place.
If he didn't insist on going to the intercontinental hotel, Brian wouldn't have had to stop him from embarrassing the Lewis family.
" It's very obvious to me that we are not welcomed here. if that's the case then we better leave." Samantha said with determination.
She couldn't sit by and watch as people humiliated Tyson.
There was a limit to everything, and they just crossed her patience limit.
Taking Tyson's hand, she turned to leave when a domineering voice stopped her.
" Did I say you could leave?" Old man Lewis asked.
If he let Tyson just like that, how else would he be able to embarrass him some more.
Samantha's fist was clenched. She was on the verge of bursting out and giving the people here a piece of her mind.
" Grandpa, you watched as everyone humiliated Tyson and said nothing. I am not happy about it so I want to leave." Samantha said angrily.
" Come and sit." The old man ordered, leaving no room to argue.
Although Samantha was displeased, sfe couldn't do anything.
Sfe turned and headed back to the dining table.
But there was only one seat available.
Samantha didn't need anyone to tell her that this was another ploy to embarrass Tyson.
She held Tyson's hand and led him to a small table set aside.
" I can see that some people know their place." Sarah snickered.
The food was served and everybody indulged themselves.
Samantha squeezed Tyson's hand, comforting him and he smiled at her, assuring him that he was fine.
" Anyway, I called you to discuss something important." After dinner, the old man announced, successfully garnering the attention of everyone present.
" The Sarit Business Park is now open for bidding. The stalls there are in high demand because of their strategic location. Every company is fighting to get a spot in the place. The Lewis family too is interested.It would be good for our company if we could win a spot at the business Park." old man Lewis announced.
His intentions were very clear. He chose to make this announcement at the presence of all the people so that he can hint at Stephen Russel to offer the Carter family a hand.
As one of the prestigious families in California, his influence was better compared to a third tier family like the Lewis.
If he put in a good word for the Lewis company, it would be easier for them to secure a shop at the business Park.
" Ofcourse, this will come with a benefit for whoever manages to successfully sign a contract will be promoted to a higher position in the company."
That was meant to entice the people to have them try.
Tyson silently listened to the old man's words.
He didn't understand what was so important about securing a spot at the sarit business centre.
He had no use fur that.He had bought the place out of impulse.
Now that the Lewis family was eyeing a spot there and there was a chance the person who managed to secure the spot would be rewarded, he figured out that was the best way to help his wife, Samantha in her work.
" Does the promotion involve everyone in the company? Can my wife participate too?" Tyson asked out of the blue.
" Are you dreaming? Do you think Samantha is capable enough to secure a place at such a high end business Park?" Sarah spat, gritting her teeth.
Obviously, that was nothing but a way to put pressure on Stephen Russel to help her
Only she is capable enough to accomplish such a task.
" I heard that the business Park was bought by a young wealthy man who just came back to Los Angeles. Nobody knows about his true identity. It would be impossible for Samantha to impress him and secure a contract with them." Another person commented.
" If others can do it, why can't my wife do it?" Tyson arrogantly asked.
If Samantha wanted, he could even put the name of the business Park under her name.
He was afterall the owner of the business Park.
" Why are you talking like you Know who owns the business Park? You are just an ignorant fool." Shannon commented.
She hated Tyson to the core.
" What if I Know the owner?" Tyson retorted.
Samantha who was silent all along couldn't bear to see Tyson embarrass himself more.
Sfe tagged his sleeves, sending a silent plea for him to stop.
The people who heard Tyson's words burst out laughing.
" If you know the owner, then I am the father." Brian finally said, laughing heartily like he heard the funniest joke.
' I Know the owner because the owner is no one else but me.' Tyson said Inwardly.
It would be hard to make these ignorant fools believe that he was the owner of that famous business Park.
He didn't have time to convince them either. They could think whatever they wanted.
" Anyway, I want to know if the offer stands for everyone. My wife intends to participate."
He only wanted to know if it would be beneficial to Samantha and her job.
" Yes, everyone in the family can try their luck. Whoever secures the spot will be promoted." The old man confirmed.
He said those words to finally shut up the blabbermouth. He believed that Samantha would be incapable of signing that contract.
Only capable people with connections like Sarah could succeed.
" Okay then that's settled. my wife will be participating too."
Tyson knew that Samantha was hard-working.
He had Instructed Jordan to investigate her situation in the Lewis company.
He came to know that she was reduced to nothing but a mere secretary of the company.
The workload was huge and the pay was very little.
Besides, some people in the company were giving her a hard time.
