Chapter 48: GIGANTIC MANGY WOLF
CONRI’S POV
Lucian insisted on dropping me off at the site before he went to work early in the morning. The workers were already at the site and I saw Everest wave from the office door as I alighted from the back seat of the car.
"Have a good day and don’t forget to eat, "Conri spoke.
"You too. "Lucian winked at me, making me shake my head and I closed the door of his car. They left the site, and I walked to the office container.
"Today, we are groundbreaking at the construction site. Everyone is here, hence there is no need to wait," Everest announced as soon as I sat down at my desk.
"I agree. I have been meaning to ask, where do you get food for the workers ?"
"Elder Zaya organized a meal stand that will be today onwards. Do you remember old lady Shanique, she the one who will cook for us"
"She is still alive, "I gasped. Old lady Shanique was my godmother’s gardener and cook.
"Yes. Haven’t you been to your godmother’s house since you came back ?’
"No. The KODA council negotiated the deal to have me restrained to the Freki land. I can’t go anyway but stay within the borders of the Freki lands. "
Everest nodded and then added, "You should have not let them exile you, Conri. We were behind you and supported you"
