“What are you planning to do?”

“I plan to stay there all day tomorrow, until she wakes up,” Olga said, a determined glint in her eyes. “We’ll ask her to sell off some of her shares to get us out of this current jam. She’s an old lady; those shares aren’t doing her any good anyway.”

“But we’ve got shares too. We’re not selling ours, but we’re asking Mom to sell hers. That doesn’t sound fair.”

Attlee paused for a moment before saying, “Plus, Mom’s been unconscious for so long, it doesn’t seem right to hit her with this the moment she wakes up.”

“Who said we haven’t sold?” Olga retorted. “We’ve already sold a bunch of stores and houses. If we sell any more shares, the company will be taken over by outsiders! Do you want outsiders running our company, or do you want Mom to do it?”

Attlee fell silent

“We need to keep our shares to continue managing the company as majority shareholders. it’ll give Mom a break, make us more money to take care of her, keep the company out of other shareholders‘ hands, and alleviate our current predicament. It’s all good!”

Seeing Attlee’s silence, Olga knew he was wavering and jumped at the opportunity. “If we could solve our current problems on our own, we wouldn’t touch Mom’s shares! We’re doing this because we’re out of options.”

Olga looked away, pretending to shed a tear. “And besides, our family only has one child, Yoli. Mom’s assets will end up being yours anyway, right? And your assets will end up being Yoli’s, right? So why not get it sooner rather than later, especially since it can solve our current problems?”

Attlee was swayed, but still hesitant.

Olga continued, “If we take too long to handle this and the company goes bankrupt, those shares won’t be worth a dime. And Mom’s shares won’t do her any good

then.”

“That makes sense.” Attlee was fully convinced. “Let’s find time to see Mom and hear what she has to say.”
