Spring in PHUKET

Chapter 14

The Boeing 747 glinted in the sunlight, as Namtarn shaded her eyes from the glare. She saw the doors open and two men walked down the steps to her..

"Sawadee kha Khun Chan, thank u for making time to see me." She gushed over the Millionaire..

"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't worth my time Namtarn, shall we go?"He said impatient to go see his dream..

"This way please,"she said leading the way to the private helicopter she had chartered especially for an aerial tour around Silverwood..
The other man with him had been simply introduced as khun Rob..

Once they were buckled in the copter took off, flying over phuket.. earlier Namtarn had gone with the pilot to familiarize him to the spots where she needed him to concentrate, while flying over the property.. So now when she was actually showing the property, she had not once used a 'maybe' or 'I think that'...

After they had seen all they could from the air, Namtarn tapped the pilot on his shoulder,signaling him to land in an open area.. She already had a jeep and driver ready at that spot..to begin with a ground level tour..

An hour later they stood in front of the house, a survey map spread out on the hood of the jeep. Khun Chan ignored the map, letting his eyes wander instead to the rubber trees towering over the house..

"Who owns this property?"he asked

"Krist Perawat. "

"Really?"he asked brows raising in amusement..

"He inherited it after his father's death 8 months ago she explained..

"Is he here?"

"No,he said something about a tennis match with Earth and his production manager's. I have found that it's awkward to have owners present, when I am showing the buyers around.."she added.

"Of course ".

Namtarn thought that he would take this chance to affirm his interest in buying the place, but khun Rob chose this exact second to call for his attention..

Khun Chan walked towards him eagerly, as though he had been waiting for the man to say something...they stood together talking as they pointed around, with Rob doing all the talking and pointing while khun Chan nodded attentively..

After their talk, Khun Chan walked back to Namtarn,

"Who owns that part of the land beyond that ridge?"he asked..

"Why?"Namtarn didn't like this question..

"Khun Rob here specializes in adventure resorts and in designing adventure sports and rides..he tells me that ridge s the best choice for paragliding in this area..so if u can get the owner to sell that part, I ll take the whole lot.." he said with finality..

"But I don't think the owner would sell over there..if u see plans, u can see that the ridge area could be used for building villas and residences similar to Millionaire's Mile.." Namtarn desperately tried to convince him.

"Who would want to buy million dollar homes in adventure resorts without the proper amenities? If Rob says we need that land we need it Namtarn, so can u get that guy to sell or not?" he asked finally.

"That land belongs to Singto Prachaya..and I can tell u surely that he won't sell.. "

"The lawyer?"she nodded.."Well he's a tough nut to Crack.. but tell u wat, get him to sell and I ll give u 10 percent of the profits and an exclusive contract with ur company to sell all the residential and commercial establishments in the project.."

Namtarn gulped at the offer, it was highly generous and he knew she would jump at it..so she stuck out her hand to shake...

"Challenge accepted Khun Chan. " she said tightly..
