office.”
Aimee spent the next thirty minutes listening to the girls update her on their lives. Then, she started telling them her dreams for Lilliend Rose. She wanted this company to continue to be competitive in today’s market. That led her into the real issue she wanted to address. The company had no web page. They needed to get out and market in the virtual world.
They spent the rest of the day brain storming on ideas. Aimee took wonderful notes and offered to prepare a PowerPoint presentation to present it to Mr. Montgomery next week. When Tina and Tammy left the office, she called Mr. Montgomery and asked if she could see him. He came straight to her office.
She gave him a sample of the ideas she compiled with Tammy and Tina. He loved the concept and stated he would back her. He had his secretary set up a marketing meeting next Monday at ten am.
When Brad dropped her off at the plantation that evening, Aimee was very tired. She couldn’t rest just yet. Opal and Megan had a light dinner fixed. After Brad and Megan went home and Aimee took her shower, she came down stairs to the living room to video chat with Aiden.
Aiden started talking as soon as he answered the video chat. “My sources came through for me, REF is Roseednay Fruits. It is a Neahovia produce company, but it is franchised and I can’t figure out who owns the franchise.”
“I know. It is Lilliend Rose Corporation.”
“As in your Lilliend Rose?”
“Yep. You remember Mr. Myers?”
“The finance guy?”
“Yeah. He is the president of Roseednay, he runs the company for Gran.”
“Wow. Aimee. Any other surprises for me?”
“None I want to discuss oceans apart. I have so much to tell you, but I want to wait to tell you some of it in person.”
“That big?”
“That big. Here is what I can tell you. Gran left a notarized letter for Mr. Myers instructing him on what to do if she was no longer here. Brad looked for more and he found a total of eight notarized letters she left. Her Will is so detailed. Aiden, I am beginning to think she knew she was not going to be here that long.”
“Aimee, I hate to say this, but I think your Gran was in danger.”
“Me too. But I don’t know why or if… I am safe.”
“Hey, don’t talk like that.”
“Aiden, the one thing I keep hearing from everyone, was that Gran wanted to ensure that I was taken care of and that no one could hurt me. I am afraid of whatever caused my mother and grandmother to leave Neahovia found them in the States.”
“I think so too and I feel that is why she wanted to make sure you were taken care of. I am also thinking that Roseednay Fruits bought out Orchid Bay Orchards too.” Aiden had that look in his eyes he gets when he thinks he has figured something out.
“What are you basing that on?”
“The time frames of when REF opened and Orchid Bay Orchard was sold.”
“I thought the guide said it was sold about nineteen years ago.”
“She did, but about is the key word. I looked into it today. Fourteen years ago, Orchid Bay Orchards was sold to Fred Montgomery. Six months later, Roseednay Fruits was established.”
“Did you say Fred Montgomery?”
“Yeah.”
“Aiden. That is Mr. Montgomery. The acting CEO of Lilliend Rose.”
“I guess I am right.”
“I am afraid so. I also think you were right about my mom changing her name. I have been reading in her journals. I am up at the end of 1987. She is still dating RGA. AES is now engaged to the mystery guy. MAL is more aggressive. To the point that HAL and Gran are scared for HAL’s life. Mom was in her second year of college. It turns out that Gran actually lived in a town with an excellent university and it is close to RGA.”
“So, we have been on the right track with our theories.”
“Yeah, but
