Chapter 32: Louis Carrington

"Better hope I don’t catch you!" I said as I ran after him.

"Do you think I’ll get better at riding in the ?" I asked him as we began to make our way home when evening came.

"I don’t know maybe if dad teaches you," he said. "I mean Dad taught me how to ride a bike

I looked at Tony who had a temporarily solemn face and I realised I’d reminded him of Keith. Shit. I hadn’t meant to upset him. Back when it used to be me, him and Keith, we used to hangout as a family and do an activity once in a while.

I knew that Tony had enjoyed those times with Keith because he was always busy with work so it was rare when he could make time to spend with him.

I remembered when he’d taught Tony how to ride a bike and I was just sitting back watching them. Back when we used to be a family...

There was no going back to that now.

"Then I’ll just have to become a better teacher," he then said to me pulling me out of my thoughts. He’d with such an energy I looked at him and saw a hopeful smile on his face. It seemed he’d come out of his sad state.

"I look forward to it then," I said to him with a smile. He was doing his best to be strong and not think about him but I knew he missed him.

FUN FACT: in case of confusion about subsidiaries and parent companies an example is alphabet inc one of the largest tech companies in the world has subsidiary companies such as google, Waymo, etc and each of these subsidiaries has its own ceo that reports to the main board of directors of parent company Alphabet inc.

On the Monday of the following week the higher up was confirmed to be coming on Wednesday afternoon. Apparently it was the CEO of the Garden House who was coming. I heard from my co-workers that he was a recently appointed CEO and had come to the 2 or three times to the restaurant for meal/meetings in the past year.

This was music to my ears as I realised that I now had nothing to worry about. Robert Carrington snr. and Robert Carrington jnr. were the owners of the whole cooperation. Robert snr was the chairman of the board of directors of the Carrington group and Robert jnr was the CEO of the parent restaurant chain they owned

However, the garden house was a smaller subsection, a subsidiary of the larger Carrington company so it would have its own separate CEO that would report back to the Carringtons parent company.

It was like Keith’s Acland group aside from the main hotel business he owned he had purchased other business which had their own CEOs and they would report back to him. That meant I didn’t have to worry about either of the Robert’s coming. I had been so stressed before.
