Businesswoman Chapter 122
That Great Whale
Enveloped in her own frustration, Lisa continued to tap on the screen to refresh the page. The blue circle spun once more and showed just under six thousand dollars in her deposit.
She wanted to scream. She wanted to claw someone’s eyes out. The pain of not knowing seemed far better than the reality she had been dealt. Her total savings came to about three million dollars. Still, she seemed pissed. The deposit should have netted her close to two million dollars. Instead, she looked at the figure and continued to stew in her own inability to change facts.
When she finally dusted herself off and continued with her day, she found it simpler to just remain a falcon, finding not prey but opportunity. She looked online for businesses that needed repair in credit or other issues. This went over Loreen and Atkinson’s heads.
Lisa, nevertheless, sought to fix Delaware’s financial woes without her fellow partners. By scrolling down, she found a heating and cooling firm that had hit the skids during COVID-19 and struggled to recover.
She also collected information on some more penny stocks in Wilmington. She wanted to go for the big banks and the software companies. How she yearned to touch more cash based on the wonders she performed. Like an agile cat, sure in its own skills but locked in a cage, unable to perform feats fully, Lisa limped onward.
With every case she tried to arrange six figure and even five figure deals. Loreen and Atkinson were almost billionaires. She had a modest fortune, comparatively speaking. She knew she couldn’t make any trouble so she would grind out these small jobs until she got the word from on high to get that great whale.
She didn’t wait for her cell phone to ring, though.

Aromas from Bellinda’s splendid kitchen wafted into the next room. She sat with her husband Gunmer and their two daughters, Whitney and Kimberle. The overpowering scent of banana raisin bread championed the other foods which lay out like a magazine spread on the table.

She was screaming. The story presents a reality of Lisa and her investments that downturns into a lost reality of where did her money go. It shows Lisa has real feelings. However, it's still focusing on money investments. 🌹🌹🌹💰
