“Mr. Lennon, the Winters family is protecting something that is said to be very important to them. The Winters family will gather all the security firms in Ocean City to bid for the task in two days.
nlt probably won’t be easy for you to get an appointment with Mr. Winters now…” Jagoan said.
Jagoan nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Forget about it then. I just remember that he asked to have a drink together that day. Since he’s unavailable, we’ll talk about it when we’re done with the task.”
Hearing that, Jagoan left the office.
Neither Jagoan nor Jagoan had any concerns about whether Optimus Security Services would succeed in taking on the Winters family’s task.
Optimus Security Services was far stronger than a security firm should be. No one could find another security firm that could match Optimus Security Services in the country, not to mention Ocean City.
***
As the days passed, the Lake family was busy recruiting new security firm members and did not give trouble to Jagoan and the others.
Maybe the Lake family thought that the fact that Michael was in a comatose state was enough to frighten Jagoan and the rest, so they did not continue to find ways to trouble Jagoan and them.
Over at Jagoan’s side, the Carver family was still taking care of Michael who pretended to be comatose, and the Quartz family and the Davis family did nothing.
Seemingly unbothered, Jagoan commuted between Optimus Security Services and Optimus Clinic during the day and brought Jagoan and the rest to find places to drink at night.
He did not look like he had ever offended the Lake family. Rather, he looked like he had nothing to do with it.
The Lake family and Jagoan seemed to be saving their strength to fight for the Winters family’s business.
These two days, the earlier chaos in Ocean City had calmed down. Many people thought Jagoan had conceded defeat and was too scared to provoke the Lake family again.
The Winters family would announce their task tomorrow, and Jagoan was at Optimus Security Services talking to Daniel and the others about matters needing attention. After that, Jagoan returned to the office.
Ring, ring, ring!
The rapid ringing of the phone interrupted Jagoan’s thoughts.
A big smile spread across Jagoan’s face when he saw the caller ID.
“Hello? Willow, why do you have time to call me?” Jagoan said gently as he answered the phone.
It was Willow who called. He had not been in touch with Willow for a long time, so Jagoan missed her.
