Chapter 124 Stay Here



Her loud shout startled the two elders in the room the most because this kind of yelling in their home was only done when one was angry, extremely angry. This heavily pregnant woman shouted as if she was willing the roof of the house to fall down. To top it off she engaged in physical violence with her own daughter!!

\'Ahh, mother," Scarlet shouted too, "It hurts." 

"Just keep quiet and follow me." She tugged on Scarlet\'s ear and smiled at the elders apologetically, "We are sorry, we have some things to talk about." She dragged her daughter out and another yell was heard. 

"Ha!" Cecily bent her head slightly. 

"You will get used to it." Esong chuckled. 

"Are they all like that?" his grandmother asked curiously. 

Esong nodded, "You will discover that the Su\'s are not like most noble families. They shout, argue, fight, cry, the expression of emotions in this family is completely normal. They are also united more than most noble families, they could have cut ties with Scarlet when uncle banished them to this place. This would have enabled the rest of the family to stay safely in the capital but they chose to come. They have been protecting her, Justin too." 

"At least she comes from a good family." Etienne commented. 

"What is this nonsense about a divorce?" his grandmother asked. "Are you both trying to get us all ostracized in the royal family?" 

"It\'s never going to happen," Esong assured her, "She said it once when I had just arrived, it has not come up since then." 

"Did she mean it?" Cecily asked him with worry in her eyes.

"I think so." Esong said truthfully. 

Cecily grabbed Esong\'s shoulders and she asked him, "How is your relationship with her these days?"

"It\'s satisfactory, we get along well enough." he replied. "Why?" 

"Because she is different Esong, your wife is the kind of woman that is capable of almost anything, good and bad. She could wake up one morning and file for a divorce without your knowledge, you have to watch her carefully."

"She wouldn\'t, we have discussed things." Esong insisted. 

"Listen to me," Cecily looked Esong in the eyes and she commanded his full attention, "She is different, I feel it, it\'s like the old her is completely gone and someone else has replaced her. Back then she would run around calling us grandmother and grandfather to our greatest irritation. She was always contacting us even when we did not want to hear from her. But now, she never contacts us and just now she called me Justin\'s grandmother, not grandmother but specifically Justin\'s grandmother. It tells me that she is drawing the line between us, she doesn\'t see us as family and she does not consider herself to be a part of ours. If she does not love you anymore then it\'s not impossible for her to try and find a way of divorcing you."

 Scarlet meanwhile had escaped from her mother and she finally met up with Mr. Rodney of the star daily. He was sitting in the outside dining area, patiently waiting for her while he watched something on his terminal and ate some compressed biscuits which he bought from the supermarket. 

   "Sorry for being late, I received some unexpected guests." she told him. She sat opposite him. 

"It\'s not a problem governor, you are a busy woman." he replied. "It would be thoughtless of me to assume otherwise."

"Thank you for understanding, why did you want to see me? Is this about the contract, has your company made up it\'s mind?" 

He shook his head and looked at her apologetically, "I am sorry, the president of the company insists on sticking to the original terms and a level C contract." he closed his eyes and winced after he said it as if it physically pained him to say so.

"Why are you apologizing, you tried your best to convince them I suppose. Sometimes these things work out and sometimes they don\'t. To be frank with you I am relieved that this deal had fallen through because take a look at my schedule, I have not been able to broadcast lately. Posting videos on star tube is easy because Fey records the coking procedures, edits the videos and uploads them. Sometimes I don\'t even have to say a word the entire time. This is a good thing for all of us in the end." 

"I disagree," he said, " whether you broadcast once or twice a week I still see greatness in you." 

"Well thank you, I do suppose that you will be returning to the capital now. You should save those biscuits, they are not supposed to be eaten like snacks. They are for emergencies, long journeys and times of disaster."

Seeing him eating them like this made her take note to ensure that the supermarket employees put up a sign to inform everyone about this.

"I hate returning like this, I have never failed before." he sighed and run his hands through his long black hair. When he retrieved them it was with a few strands. "Do you know how much hair I have lost over this?" 

"Stay here." she told him. "Every star planet has it\'s local network, television stations, radios, live streaming platforms but our blue star has none of those. I cannot be in charge of this project, neither can I put members of my family on it. I asked my brother to check but no one among the newly arrived citizens has the experience and skills to spearhead it. I need someone with experience in how media works. I looked into you, you worked for three years in news department of Sea Park media before you transferred to star daily as the head of their live streaming department. You excel at your job but from what I can tell it also involves a lot of bureaucracy. I will give you free reign over blue star daily or whatever we choose to call it. You will pick your team as you wish without interference. Because it\'s a state owned television, city hall will provide benefits for you and your family like free housing, education, medical care and others."

"Let me get this straight, you are offering me a job!!" 

"Yes, one that needs to be started immediately. I have one satellite in the sky ready to be activated to connect the blue star to star net." It was not her satellite, it was an invention of Maddox that he put up there. In fact there were three satellites but no one needed to know. 

"Can I think about it?" he asked her. 

"Yes, I will give you two days." she stood up, tapped him twice on the shoulder and walked away. "Don\'t bother looking for me if you choose to reject my offer, simply pack up and leave."

"Boss!!!" his assistant jumped when Scarlet\'s figure faded away, "Did I just hear her right?" 

"We all heard it." 

The trusted members of his team that he had come with were all in awe and disbelief. They were all giving their opinions on the matter at hand excitedly. 

"I say we take it,." the pilot said. 

"Who is we?" one of the assistants asked.

"We go where the boss goes." the pilot answered.

"I have heard that Origin nutrients and some other nutrient companies threatened to pull their ads from star daily if governor Scarlet was signed. They are frightened because of the rising influence of food." 

"Are you sure about this?" Rodney asked his assistant. 

"One hundred percent, this is not the first time that such a thing has happened, the companies which advertise with star daily always make ridiculous demands like which employees to fire, which programs get premium time, which shows to cancel. In the long run, this will affect the company negatively. We should leave before it crumbles. We should take the chance, who knows if an opportunity like this will ever come back again?" his assistant looked determined. 

Seeing the hopeful looks in their eyes, Rodney\'s mind started calculating.
