Chapter 9
But him being Jailed wasn't part of his expectation and that too right in the meeting room even when the elders were yet to finish watching the movie!.
old jack frowned a little as he quickly stood up!. Making the oldest official angry wasn't part of his pjack and he actually didn't think much about it before be took the steps.
He called the police immediately he got to the front of the meeting room so that Mr Herrycould be quickly defeated but he never thought that would annoy the officials that much and the head official for that matter!.
He started sweating hard as he clenched his fist to calm his storming mind. " I'm sorry, Mr Holjackd.. I didn't pjack to do it that way. I was just trying to help the police men apprehend a criminal they failed to apprehend and had i know you would be this angry, I wouldn't have done that . I'm so sorry and this isn't instigated by Miss Lisa at all.
It was all my pjack and she didn't even know about it at all, please do forgive me." old jack explained vividly and also made sure that he cleared Lisa's name out of the mess so that it wouldn't affect her in any way even if they were to make the matter worst.
Mr Richard stared long at the scheming old jack and rolled his eyes. He hated men that put pride in being mischievous and scheming and he painfully termed them as dangerous men who were a great danger to the society. But he knew he could no longer talk further or people might think he was siding with Herrywhich wasn't so and he wasn't even ready to mix his name in the mess on ground because even him was scared of old jack at that moment.
Everyone in the room kept quiet as they await what to do next. Herrywould be locked up and the news would reach the world in no time, putting someone who had a prison scandal as the heir to the Colgate industry would greatly affect their market and it would be a great pain in the neck even for an expertise like Herryto solve. So,their only option was Lisa, even though none of them really liked her to be the heir, they had no choice as she was the only candidate at the moment and she was their only choice.
" Let's see how things go, after that we would schedule another meeting but right now, let's all visit Mr Herryat station and we can decide the next step from there.
We need to know the truth of this matter as we can't just believe a random video someone brought to frame another opponent. " A pot bellied tall man suggested and everyone agreed except Lisa and old jack who scoffed and looked gloomy.
" Let's end this meeting here..." Mr Richard muttered and the officials nodded.
" So soon?" They all heard and they turned to the direction of the voice at once as every single one of them were surprised to hear the voice because they all recognized it.
Turning to the side, they all saw the man they were pjackning to visit in cell. The man they all thought would have been locked up right in front of them and with his hands in his pocket and he was standing like the insurmountable man they all grew to know.
Right by his side was Mr ken who had refused to enter since they took Herryaway and right behind him were high ranked police officers and a commissioner of police was even among. Standing tall in front of his men with an aloof look on his face which drowned fear in the heart of the officials..
old jack creased his brow as he looked at the man he had pjackned against standing in front of him with police men behind him. He would have thought that they brought him back to ask some questions but he wasn't a fool and he saw the calm look on Herry's face which could only mean one thing and that was... he was released within a matter of few seconds! Not even a day or half a day had passed and he was released??
old jack found sweat rolling down his achy back as he sat weakly. He couldn't believe that something like this could happen even with all those evidences he got!.
" What... What did you do?" He stuttered as he asked shamelessly and Herrysmirked.
" I'm cool, am I not? I'm so amazing that you are crushing on me already?" Herryasked and winked at old jack mischievously.
" I'm back, guys! Shall we continue the meeting?" He asked and walked back to his seat. Mr ken also walked back to his seat and sat down.
" I'm back, Miss Lisa." Herrymumbled and sat down with a sly smile on his handsome face.
Lisa closed her mouth which she had forgot to close for some minutes since Herryentered and she lowered her head, fearing what would happen next. She could see well and she knew the man standing at the door step was a commissioner of police and it wasnt like he was an escort to have escorted Herryto the meeting... No! He was there for an arrest but who could it be? Lisa was scared.
" Uhm Uhm!" Mr Richard cleared his throat to attract all attention.
" Now that Mr Herryis back, I think we can continue the meeting, right?" He asked with a raised brow and the officials who were still shocked just nodded their head as response.
The meeting continued and they all discussed about many things. Herryread the presentation he brought and omitted the pjack he had for Lisa for the day because he already had another one on set and it was a hot one at that!.
Lisa also read some presentation but it was full of errors as her mind was unsettled and the look the commissioner of police was giving her made her really scared and it was like her heart would jump out at any time.
