BOUND BY TRADITION

Chapter 8

Early the next morning, Melissa gets up, puts on light makeup, puts on clean clothes and looks at herself in the mirror.

Looking at her serious face, Jack said with a laugh:

“Don't worry, I said I have a friend in the Corecloud Land Enterprise, and I have already informed him.”

“Even if you know an employee there, he won't sell us the building for five million. I can only talk my best with them, and I hope they don't chase me out in the end, she trusts him, but this matter is very difficult, it's not something he can do.”

He is carefree, and he walks outside taking Melissa's coat with a smile.

He takes her to the Corecloud Land Company on his electric bike.

In a café, in front of the Corecloud Land Company building. Sonia and Jeremy sit by the window, with a fixed gaze at the entrance of the Company Corecloud property.

“Jeremy, how much do you think they can talk? Doesn't the Corecloud Land Company sell the building to Melissa for five million?”Sonia asks.

“Of course, don't say how hard it is for them to enter the Corecloud Land Company today. Some time ago, grandpa sent me here to talk about this case. As soon as they knew I could give eight million, they chased me right away, not to mention the fact that she gave only five million,”Jeremy swore to say.

“In the event that the Corecloud Land Company suddenly changes, and it buys it for five million, what to do then?” Sonia is still asking.

“This possibility is much smaller than the one that Jack is the boss of the Land Company Corecloud. Don't worry, it's impossible for them to succeed, says Jeremy,” laughing right away.

“You're right, if he's the company's boss, Corecloud land, the pigs can fly, " Sonia says laughing.

Early on, Jack takes Melissa to the entrance of the Corecloud Land Company by electric bike.

“How funny! They look so shabby on an electric bike,” when Sonia looks at their appearance, she laughs right away.

Jeremy laughs, ready to ridicule them.

Jack stops the bike and says to Melissa with a smile:

“Come in, they are waiting for you.”

She is a little nervous and says:

“I enter like that? Aren’t they going to chase me away?”

“Don't worry, they certainly won't. The employees here are polite, they're not going to chase you away,” Jack says.

“Well, you say it like the Corecloud Land Company is yours, how do you know the employees?” She looks up at him.

“In fact... the Corecloud Land Company is really mine,”he laughs.

“Well, don't tease me anymore. If the Corecloud Land Company is yours, it would be great. Don't dream anymore. So, I'm going.”

She has nothing to say, and then she walks inside the Corecloud Land Company.

Looking at her figure, he wonders if he can swear that he was not dreaming earlier.

Upon arrival at the Land Company room Corecloud, a woman comes right away and asks with a smile:

“Hello, how can I help you?”

“Uh, I come from the Decastros. I want to discuss the purchase of the building with your General manager,” Melissa says nervously.

“Oh, Mrs. Thompson, our general manager is waiting for you in the office, please follow me.” The woman says very politely.

A little surprised, Melissa didn't expect the employee here to be so polite as Jack said.

She follows the employee inside, soon they arrive at the door of the general manager's office.

“The general manager is waiting for you inside,” the woman says and then she leaves.

Melissa knocks on the door:

“Come in!” Comes the answer from the inside.

She pushes the door and enters; Marcel, who has already received Jack’s order, immediately advances to welcome her and lets her sit on the sofa. She did not expect the purchase of a building successfully, and the general manager looks nice. She doesn't know what to do.

“Hello, I am…” Melissa says.

“I know you, Mrs. Decastro. You come here to buy the official building, don't you? The Decastros have already sent someone there, but for some reasons, he did not succeed.”

“You are here in time, because now there is a gambling activity. That is the first to arrive to buy a property, anything he buys, we offer a 50% discount, I must say that you are lucky.”

Marcel explains with a smile, what he said is Jack’s order, to not make her suspicious.

Hearing what he said, she widened her eyes and said in surprise:

“The activity of luck games? Are you joking?”

“No. Do you want to sign the purchase contract now? After the signature, the building that you want belonged to the Decastros,” he says with a smile.

She is a little outdated. She thought she had to make a lot of effort to talk to him. But to her surprise, she encounters a gambling activity as soon as she arrives.

“But I have never heard that there is the gambling activity,”she asks.

“Since it's a gambling activity, we can't make it known to the general public, otherwise there is a large crowd coming to win it, then chaos will be driven, " he explains.

She has nothing to say for a moment.

This gambling activity seems unreliable, but there is nothing wrong with its explanation.

And then, under Marcel's guidance, she signed the contract and transferred the money to the Corecloud Land Company's account.

Before leaving, he takes a group of employees to say goodbye to this "lucky" client. From beginning to end, she has a feeling of dreaming.

She goes out with the contract, but she is still wandering in the air.

She walks straight, eyes fixed, in front of Jack, she whispers:

“Jack, I am selected as their lucky customer. They say that whatever happens first, anything a client buys, he can enjoy a 50% discount. You knew it in advance, so you brought me here so early, right?”

Jack gives her a discreet smile, then he puts a finger on her lips:

“It's internal information, and don't forget to keep it secret.”
