EFDS#01: Chase Akira Montello (COMPLETE)

CHAPTER 9

"This is the result of the bidding last night, Sir. As early as next month, we could now start construction on this land. I'll also have our financial team handle the rest." Masayang anunsyo ng assistant/secretary kong si Ben habang nilalahad din niya ang lahat ng mga dokumentong naglalaman ng ibinalita nito.

It was about the land in the south, which I've been eyeing for five years now. The economy in the country is growing and is projected to increase by ten percent in the following years.

This would be the best time to take advantage of it. I've planned to build a large mall that could cater to almost all the services that a community would need in their day-to-day lives.

Large buildings of apartments and Condos will just pop up like mushrooms if the news spreads among the business elites in the country.

I was also planning to target this field in the market after the successful construction of the mall in that area. Since we already have a few hotels in the country, it wouldn't be bad to venture into the real estate industry.

It's funny for some because I prioritized the construction of the mall instead of building the residential area around it first. This is because I wanted to establish this land as one of the best locations for people to live. That I can use the money of the company at ease for this project, and because I knew I was going to win this.

As a businessman, you should know and consider the pros and cons of making a decision. And it's something I've already been working on for the past few years.

The board of directors recognized me as a brilliant man in terms of business decision-making, so they're letting me handle this personally.

It's not like they can really do something, even if they oppose my decisions. I'm still the CEO of this company, and my grandmother, Ofelia Montello, as the active chairwoman, has always believed in me in regards to the business. This company— Montello Corp., was the legacy of the Montello Clan.

I was 21 years old when my father stepped down from his position as CEO, and I was immediately nominated by the board to be the new CEO of Montello Corp. Their company's worth before I took the position was only average among the largest companies in the country. But after I took matters into my own hands, the company has gradually risen in the business world.

"Tell me something that I didn't know. Have you checked on the mole yet?" Naiinip kong tanong sa kaniya.

There's someone in the company who constantly causes trouble. I've just reviewed the financial report of the company and saw tiny errors. It's something that even an average financial auditor could notice.

"While we're at it, look for a more superior financial auditor and have him on standby. Leave the current one, as he would be subjected to an investigation, too."

Chances are he could be an accomplice, too. I have a hunch who the mother fucker was. I was only waiting for a chance and definite evidence to prove him guilty.

"It's just a matter of time before we catch the big fish, sir." Agad naman niyang tugon sa'kin nang nakangisi.

"Call Red for me," utos ko sa kaniya.

Si Red ay isa sa mga pinagkakatiwalaan kong agent sa private security firm ni Klyde. He was also a former soldier and an NBI agent. Red din ang code name nito sa kaniyang trabaho, and he's the one handling the investigation about that fucking mole.

I met him years ago when I helped him in a dire situation. It wasn't really a big deal for me, as I just did what I should do as a human being. I guess you could call us buddies now because of it.

Kailangan ko ang tulong niya ngayon dahil tungkol naman ito sa insidenteng nangyari sa trabaho ni Hannah.

There must be something big behind those bombings, and I can't fucking fathom the motive behind it! But I know something in the back of my mind was telling me to have this investigated.
