Spring in PHUKET

Chapter 12

Namtarn looked out from her office window as Krist crossed the road to the other side.. With a light toss of her head she turned back into her office. She saw John pouring out two glasses of whiskey.

"I see you are helping urself to my personal supplies. " she asked..

"Well we got a solid nibble on that commercial block and now this huge listing..shouldn't we be Celebrating?" He asked bringing the glasses to her table..

"Well, maybe later..we now have work .....you had better finish that fast and get in the chair so I can tell u wat to do.."she glared at him..

"Ok, if u say so Namtarn. " he grinned chugging down both glasses and say down at her table facing her..

"Right, firstly get a topography map of Silverwood,I want only the best remember , check if it's seen in Google Earth view . Then get a video done of the land, both from the surface and the air..You could use the Gunsmile company,  their outputs are awesome and tell them I want it yesterday..after that contact that graphic artist,  wats his name?"

"Neo," John supplied, gulping at the amount of work piling up..

"Yeah, that guy. Call him up and get his ideas for the name Silverwood. I want the map and videos on my table by noon, as I am gonna meet the land planners Fiat and Oaujun for drinks at 4." She said briskly looking at him.

John just sat there contemplating wat she had said, trying to figure out wat she was trying to do.

"Don't u think u should get started on all this so u can finish on time?" She prompted him, irritated that he hadn't moved yet...

"I was just wondering wat 'all this' was.."he said confused..

"A little bit of homework for another Phuket," she smirked not explaining any further. This time when she met Khun Chan, she wanted to be fully prepared, so he won't have the chance to refuse her offer..

With no particular destination in mind Krist idly strolled through the streets, looking around at the once sleepy town that had become a major tourist spot of hustle and bustle. He missed the quiet streets and empty beaches. He refused to think about the listing agreement in the pocket of his jacket. It was a necessary decision and there was nothing left to think about it.

The sun was out, and he had some time to kill while waiting for Mike to get his gym routine done. He could enjoy a walk bringing back his happy memories of old,he thought while crossing the road. There was the Phuket courthouse, legal buildings. He was just about to walk past, when Singto walked out the doors, carrying a briefcase and wearing a black coat over a white shirt and blue jeans, aviator glasses shades his eyes..

The man still had the looks that made Krist's heart stop. Singto paused when he saw Krist, his look turning grim..Krist hesitated too, remembering- as he was no doubt- their encounter the previous evening and his harsh words. He halted at the base of the steps forcing a meeting.

"I am glad I ran into u P'Sing," he said pulling out a copy of the agreement he had signed with Namtarn. "Since u are handling the legal affairs if the estate I think u should have a copy of this listing agreement. I was going to mail it, but as u are here I might as well give it to u now."

"Right" he said and slipped it into his coat pocket.

Krist continued before Singto could walk away, " P'Sing I was angry and upset yesterday.  Selling the plantation s not something I am doing willingly but out of need. I want u to know that it's not that I don't care, but I can't care whether u like it or not..pls understand it's a decision which was so hard for me to take and I understand how u feel.."
