Ice and Fire novel Chapter 486

All the sudden, he was startled from his thoughts, as his assistant knocked at the door and came in. She approached Mond's desk and said, "Mr. Mond, there's someone here to see you."

"Very well, let him in, " Mond said casually. He could probably guess who the person was. At the moment, there was only one person who would come see him.

"Okay, " the assistant replied spinning on her heel and walking out of Mond's office.

A short time passed and a middle-aged man dressed in a casual, simple outfit came in.

"Mr. Mond, long time no see, " the middle-aged man said walking into Mond's office. He looked around the room as he continued, "Nice office. Worthy of the boss of the ZM Group."

"You didn't come all the way down here today to give me compliments, did you? Please, sit down, " Mond said with an indifferent look gesturing for the man to sit.

The middle-aged man sat in a chair opposite Mond. He looked at Mond and said, "Mr. Mond, you should know what brings me here. Didn't we have an agreement? Our agreement was to announce the news, but you delayed things saying you intended to publish the news later. So, I want to know, what are your present plans? Are we giving up the plans of destroying the JS Group?"

"We can't make the announcement just yet, so, we will wait a little longer, " Mond said calmly. He had no intention of quarreling with the man.

"But, you know how smart Selina is! She will discover our plans if we don't move on this now, or, when she learns what we are planning, our plan, will fail, " the middle-aged man was worried, huffing, and sputtering as he spoke hurriedly.

Mond felt no such urgency though, and casually said, "According to my investigations, Selina is busy planning her marriage to Wilson, so, she won't learn about our plan for the time being, and that means we still have time."

"But, Mr. Mond, it's too risky to delay the plans. We can't wait any longer, " the middle-aged man threw up his hands and screeched helplessly. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Mond, "Have you changed your mind, Mr. Mond?"

As soon as the visitor finished speaking, Mond's face darkened. He looked at the man angrily and said, "You are not entitled to speak to me like that! Every part of this plan, is up to me to decide! You'd be wise to remain silent since I haven't determined the next step yet, and, if you dare disobey my orders, you will pay for it! All of you!"

Seeing Mond enraged, the middle-aged man hastily said, "Alright, alright! I'm just worried that Selina will find out about our plans, and everything we have worked for will be in vain."

"Keep quiet and do as I say, and she won't find it out, " Mond said firmly. No matter how clever Selina was, she couldn't possibly learn of their plans if they haven't done anything. If no measures were taken, Selina couldn't know it. Besides, her wedding to Wilson was just around the corner, so she was far too busy to exert energy on the JS Group. Mond felt that logically, her marriage would take precedence over her career.

"Well, perhaps you are right, and they aren't suspicious since we didn't do anything immediately, " replied the middle-aged man. Worry still etched his face, and in his gut he was worried, but after he thought about the situation, he agreed with Mond and didn't think Selina would realize their plot against the JS Group for now.

"Well, if that's all, you can leave now, and don't come back, unless there's something important, " Mond waved him away impatiently, while his mind was a flurry with chaotic thoughts.
