I was for the third time once again sitting on the cold grey metal chairs of Station 9, it was starting to become somewhat of a tradition yet a useful one.
Isla Williams showed after about 10 minutes of my waiting excited for more stories Hey Frank she said smiling as if we were friends.
Hello Isla I said as she sat down i've got more things for you to publish I said what today? she asked it's a big one i warned her you'll get a lot of attention people asking for your source, i know she muttered i already get that it's bloody annoying.
just don't slip or our.. relationship will dissolve and you will have never met me, she thought on that for a moment before saying I won't confidently good I said and turned my eyes back to the tracks, publish Quantum.Corp to buy StarGo.
her eyes widened so much I thought they would pop out of their sockets seriously she asked energy in her voice, is this another one of your games? no I said unfortunately I did not plan this nor know about it until today. but if it becomes public it will be harder for the Owners to back out. okay umm this is a massive story she said standing up i've got to go she and then she ran into the train before the doors closed.
I chuckled I have a big task ahead of me tomorrow.
---the next Day---
I walked into the room it was decorated and golden trophies lined the closets but I had no time to gawk I had to focus on Ethan Manson the owner of the Company through 56% of shares.
Hello Mr.Manson i said shaking hands with him pleasure he said smiling his hands were rough and thick but i'll have to penetrate them to get this deal through.
"any wine?" he asked "we have 2010 Shiraz?" "oh no thanks" I said I value thinking clearly through a deal and Ethan chuckled.
"So Ethan said I hear your company is planning to buy ours ay?" "precisely" I said through a bitter smile. He grinned StarGo is exploding, just last year we were worth 15Million now we are worth 50Million so you'r gonna have to pay a lot more than that for this deal.
i relaxed my shoulders and leaned forward what do you want Mr.Manson i said obviously not money or you would've taken our 70 Million price so what is it? truly,
he Laughed I value what i have built. I Value Legacy i want StarGo to be massive and that I leave a Legacy. you simply can't have that with a Mother Company.
I considered my Options and came to an conclusion. I have a proposition completely independent of my bosses orders.
oh? he said, how about this deal be completely private nobody knows not the press no one and $80 million Dollars. he laughed you can't just keep things like that a secret it will be leaked. It will be kept within An inner circle I, Garret, Katherine, and Jim and Karl. plus $90 million i said.
his usual smile faded and he considered it $100 Million he said I had to secure this offer one way or another 95 I said he said $97 he demanded 96.5 i said he though on that $96.75 he said $96.7 million dollars i said final offer he sat still for a couple of seconds, Deal he said finally Deal i said and we shook hands, Thank you he said no Thank You Mr.Manson I said and I walked out of the room and Dialled Garrets office number and he picked up in seconds Frank he said tell me what happened well I said and paused for a brief second i swung the deal for the deal being completely private from the press and for $96.7 Million there was a brief pause and I was scared he had crossed the line but in the end Garret said well done Frank you did well there just might be some... Complications in the future, well done Frank you should be proud of yourself.
I Drove home and once I was inside I collapsed onto my chair and sighed I hadn't done as well as I should have, but it didn't matter now i grabbed myself a Bottle of 2017 Chardonnay and filled a glass with it then I sat down and planned what i was going to do on the next day.
