A Forgotten Promise

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Logan was intently staring at the specific document on his table. His mind was clouded on what he gonna do about this matter. Prior to this document there are more document that are needed to his attention. But he knew he wouldn't fully function unless he would first sorted it out.

"This is crazy!" he murmured.

The document on his table was the company shares his company put in at the Ford Corn Industry that Anne Margarette were running for this past weeks. His mind told him to pull out their shares before Ford's state their bankruptcy. But his stubborn heart ordered him to help his most precious woman.

"No, this is not right!" he cursed himself.

Most and foremost he needed to first consider the welfare of this company. They were going to lose big amount of money if he won't act properly. So he needs to separate his personal issues while handling this company in order to become a best leader.

He was on the verge of a deep thinking when his mobile phone suddenly rang. He grasped his phone inside his pocket then he was so surprised to saw Claire's mobile number popped on the screen. It was unsual for her to rang him in the morning because she often called in the afternoon or at night. Well unless this time it is an emergency situation.

Out of curiousity he immediately pressed the answered button. "What's up beautiful!" he warmly greeted his very dear friend.

"Not fine!" Claire replied. To heard that she wasn't okay made him more worried. "Logan, did you check? Most of their investors pulling out their shares! Anne is really in a deep trouble now!" she continued babbling.

He went still for a second. "How deep?"

He heard Claire took a deep breathed. "Very deep, Lucas and Alex wanted to salvage her company! But no! I want that company to stay with Anne. So, I'm going to invest and I want you to do it too! Use your trust fund! Do you understand, Logan?" Claire ordered like he was no other choice but to follow.

"Oh..." thats what the only word he just said after of Claire's long litany.

"Just oh? My Goodness Logan!" he heard Claire's disappointed voice.

What the! Why he haven't thought of his trust fund? His parents left him with a big sum of money.

He slowly shook his head. Maybe this is a sign of aging, being too forgetful.

"Well, thanks Claire for reminding me about my trust fund. I do really forget about it." he chuckled and lightly scratched his head.

Claire paused for a moment then yelled at him and he felt his ears bombered by an atomic bomb. "Really, Logan Jacob Finn. How can you forget about that certain big amount of money. Oh my! You're really unbeliaveable!"

He chuckled again. "I don't know. Is just that I really don't think about it." he really felt weird about himself at this very moment.

Seriously? How can he forget about it? Hmmm, maybe because, lately he was out of his mind?

"Then now, use it for a good cause. You know the Monteros are monster in terms of salvaging." Claire talked like her husband was one of a bad guy here.

After a moment, something came up on his mind.  "Claire, I couldn't directly invest to their company. You know Anne, I'm sure she wouldn't let me. So please use my trust fund to invest but put it in your name. And also I want her pride to be intact so spare my name in this transaction."

Claire paused and think for a minute. "Yes, you're right. Anne wouldn't accept your help."

He leaned back of his chair and massage his temple. "If our money isn't enough to save their company I'm going to ask Leendon and Donovan. I wire you the money the soonest."
