Chapter 111 - An Idea

Ch-110

"Mom… Why are they forbidding you from eating?" Reggie asked not knowing he was rubbing salt on her wounds. Esther gritted her teeth at the bitter memory of her flashback. 

-------

Esther's Mini flashback. 

When Esther returned home, she noticed her food looked more like grass than a meal. She cried for the unfair treatment she got. 

"MOM!! What is this? Do you think I am a cow? What is this food?" Esther asked. 

"For next three months, you will eat this food," Lia said, breaking her heart. 

"Mom, why?" Esther asked desperately. 

"We got a dietitian for you. He made a food plan for you." Lia said. 

"Mom… There is no meat here," Esther complained. 

"No problem!" Lia said. 

"Mom!" 

"Either you like it or not, I don't care. You have to eat that. If you are obedient, I will give meat once in a while." Lia said. 

Esther sat down with a sullen expression and picked her cutlery. 

"And yeah, You are not allowed to eat junk. I informed Nicholas, he will look after you. If he finds you eating junk. I will feed you with cabbage juice and neem juice twice a day for a week," Lia threatened her. 

Esther wanted to say something but she bit her tongue and ate her food silently. 

----END OF MINI FLASHBACK-----

Present…

Hearing her saying these Reggie sighed with sympathy. 

"So… did you realize the main culprit?"  Reggie asked. 

"Grandma?" Esther said. 

"No!" Reggie said. 

"Then who? Dietitian?" Esther said. 

"No, mom! It's dad!!! He sent my dietitian to you!" Reggie said as he readily dug a grave to his father.

Esther thought about it and found it was indeed like this. That man promised her mother to send a dietitian home. No wonder! That day itself her mother made a plan for her food. 

Damn!!! 

So! This CYRUS is the one who was the reason for her demise all along!

Esther burned with rage. She gritted her teeth in annoyance as she decided to get her revenge. Damn! This man doesn't even allow her to eat food! 

Reggie was scared when he saw his mother who was burning in rage. But he smiled at his father's demise. How dare he?! Try to take his mother away from him. But…. having both mother and father is so good. 

Sigh… 

Maybe he should help dad. Reggie was mentally anguished by his thoughts. Sigh… He needs to be a good son now. If not, mom will get a new son. 

"Mom…. Even though dad is the culprit. He is doing for your good. You have a big business to run, look after me, and your health. If you take bad food it will affect all. So, seeing grandma's concern, dad may have offered it!" Reggie said patiently. 

"But… see how grandma is to mom!" Esther said. 

"Sigh… mom it's for our good. And dad has no bad intentions," Reggie said. 

Esther sighed and just agreed to him. She didn't understand the sudden change in her son. He made Cyrus look bad in front of her but now he was persuading her saying Cyrus was good. She wanted to know what this little one was thinking but she couldn't do anything. She closed her eyes and leaned back on her chair as she remembered everything that happened in the morning. When she woke she got kissed but she couldn't complain due to Reggie. After she fell asleep, her son kissed her stealthily. She found that both father and son liked giving morning kisses to her. She smiled at the thought of Reggie's embarrassed face. After that, she returned to the company and heard a report about her company. 

But she was shocked by Reggie's behavior. He started liking Flashy things. She has to go through a lot to explain to him. She thought back to the things she said and he asked. Her company issues Reggie's behavior…. She felt a headache was on her way. 

Esther tried to concentrate and find some inspiration to design. But no matter what she couldn't. Suddenly... Something ticked in her brain! 

The same chocolate concept she said to Reggie, can work in her business. If she couldn't afford the big designers she could find small ones. Esther can look for the students of famous designers and can promote her brand. And even a few small-time shops sell good designs. She can hire them for her company and turn their small stalls into her subsidiaries by doing some renovations. She slapped the table with excitement. Her business should do well, with these things. Now… She needs Nicholas to do the dealings. Esther opened her laptop and checked for the best designers and their students. She checked a few people's portfolios and copied their information into a new file. She found two suitable people according to her taste but the problem was these two were brothers and had the same master. It's just that for some unknown reason they stopped designing. She compiled their information and printed them out. 

At this moment, she needs a secretary too apart from Nicholas. After printing their info she secured the info in an empty file. After that… she went on her search again. She found a famous designer who was banned by the Garcia empire, She decided to get her back to Royal's closet. 

She found three designers now. But the biggest task was on how she should get them. But they have only three months. They need a lot of designs and at least two more designers. Benjamin's never involved in the jewelry business. So, she can't poach people from them. But it doesn't mean she couldn't take help from them. But how….? Also, she needs to find material suppliers for her jewelry business. The best material can be found in southern countries only. She needs to find good and trusty material suppliers. She needs information about them. 

Argh!! 

Why the hell Nicholas didn't come till now!? Esther was frustrated with his absence.. She needs one more person.
