The window of opportunity was closing, and that if they didn’t nip this issue in the bud, it would soon grow into a

tangled mess far more difficult to resolve.

Setting aside the stack of documents on his desk, Nolan leaned back in his office chair and said, “Run me

through the situation from the top, will ya?”

“It's straightforward enough,” Decker replied. “Basically, there was a bit of a spat between the original

developers and a homeless guy that wasn’t properly settled. But we'll need to do a bit more digging before we

can give you the full picture.”

Nolan's brow furrowed in concern. “Wasn't it confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the developers? How

is it, just as we're about to break ground, that this issue comes out of left field?”

Decker wasn’t sure exactly what Nolan was probing for in terms of accountability. After all, their company had

simply purchased the land from the developer-it was a hot commodity, and had they not stepped in, sother

real estate mogul would have snatched it up. The area was prreal estate, and whoever got their shopping

district up first would be laughing all the way to the bank.

“Sure, on the surface, the developers had taken care of any previous issues,” Decker admitted.

Nolan remained silent, his long fingers tapping a steady rhythm on the desk-Decker could almost hear his own

heartbeat sync up with the sound.

“On the surface?” Nolan echoed, his tone indicating he'd caught onto the crux of the

matter.

Despite the fact that Decker’s department wasn’t responsible for securing the land or the purchase agreement,

the sheer pressure of Nolan's presence made the gravity of the situation all too clear.

Even as newcomers to the real estate game, they knew such dealings were rife with complications. It was crucial

to vet every detail thoroughly before any investigation, especially when dealing with developers with a history of

murky dealings with locals.

Decker nodded in understanding. They still had sissues to iron out with the developer-they couldn't just

blindly accept such a significant setback. He knew, deep down, that if they could just smooth things over with

the homeless man, it might not eve make a dent in the Harris Group's reputation. On the contrary, it could even

generate buzz for their upcoming shopping center.

“Alright, that'll be all for now. Keepposted on any developments,” Nolan instructed.

“Yes, Mr. Harris.”

It wasn’t until Decker stepped into the elevator bound for his own office that he allowed himself to exhale

deeply, wiping the sweat from the back of his neck, “Reporting to the boss is no walk in the park.”

Nolan might have been young, but he wasn't easily fooled. It was no fluke that he had steered the Harris Group

to its current standing.

After hanging up the phone, Regina slumped back into her well-worn seat. She hugged her knees to her chest, a

brochure in her hands that she couldn’t bring herself to focus on.

For the first time, she began to doubt her choices. Maybe she should have heeded the advice of her elders-

opting for the warmth and comfort of hrather than battling the elements out here in the cold.
