The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 84

At the same time, Liam walked in the meeting room full of executives of the company. In the meeting they discussed measures to be taken against the perpetrators and ways in which they can continue maintaining the progress they have manage to make in the past 2 days. The meeting was longer than expected, it took a little over two hours for them to be done.

After the meeting, he politely excused himself and went to his office to pack up. He had promised Ciara he would be back to keep her company.

Just when he took his first step out of his office a call came in and it was Larry his right hand man.

” talk to me.”

” Sir it’s bad, people are protesting at our west side depot. You need to come over.”

” OK on my way.”

Right then he rushed to his car, he knew very well the risks that comes with protesting or strikes in this country. He could loose hundreds of millions in assets and stock if not controlled immediately.

He took out his cellphone and texted Ciara, telling her he’d be back a little later than expected because of an emergency at the company.

He then started his car and headed straight to that depot. When he arrived police were already called to the scene and were instructing the crowd to disperse as their gathering was illegal, they shouted to no avail as the crowd continued to sing and cursed at the same.

The crowd immediately became rowdy as they saw Liam’s car parking nearby. They seem to be very angry but still no one dared to come near to where Liam was. They only had the courage to make a ruckus as they were backed by someone they deemed to be of high importance.

They shouted from where they where,

” we want answers.”

Liam came closer to address the crowd.

” Greetings everyone, I’d like to give you all answers but you will have to let me know your concerns and and questions in order for me to know the problem you are facing.”

The leader was the one to respond first. He seemed to have been the one hyping the crowd all along.

” Mr Jones don’t act like you care about us at all, what about our investments to the company. Now that everything is falling apart when are we getting our money back huh?. Give us our money and we will not burn this place down.”

” I do apologize to those who have been affected, our dedicated staff and myself are work hard to solve the problem at hand. We have contacted all our investors and will be compensated for the inconvenience as it is a mistake on our side. “

” what about the clients? You said nothing about…. “

The leader stopped the one who was now speaking as he answered a call.

After some time he looked at the crowd and spoke in a loud audible voice.

” It’s done, let’s go guys we shall continue this another time. “

Liam, Larry and the other team members from the security personnel were all left dumbfounded. But were certainly not mistaken that this was all a set up.

After Liam instructed them to be in check with everything that is happening and also instructed Larry to up the security at all their sites, he then walked up to his car ready to head home.

As soon as he got in to his car he checked his phone incase Ciara responded to his text, much to surprise it showed that Ciara hadn’t received his text.

He started the car while calling Ms Nicky using the car spreaker as he was driving.

” Sir, good day.”

” mhm, can you check up on Ciara there for me, can’t get her on her phone.”

” But I haven’t seen Mrs Jones today, I thought she went to work with you this morning.”

Alarm bells started ringing in Liam’s head, he knew very well this was not a good sign for him. He pressed hard on the accelerater and rushed home.

When he got there he searched the entire house for her but found nothing. He tried calling her again but her phone was off, so he decided to go to the hospital he still had hopes that he would replace her there.

He walked up to the intensive care unit where both Ciara’s mom and granddad were hospitalized but only found Mark Williams and Wilson there.

The moment Mark saw Liam his eyes turned “red!!”

“what the heck are you doing here, are you here to finish what your girlfriend started.”

He roared with anger as he approached Liam ready to give him the biggest punch he can come up with, but Wilson stopped him just in time.

” Hey brother what are you doing, that is Mr Liam Jones, the president of Jones group. You definitely don’t want to do that now”

Now that Wilson got what he wanted, he was over the moon with joy and didn’t mind defending Liam at all. Besides, now that Ciara is gone, there was a high chance that they will be family again.

He had initially thought that Ciara was making a fool out of him so he went to the hospital to camp and see if any of them would show up, but seeing how haggard and defeated Liam looked proved that Ciara did not lie. She did in fact break up with Liam.
