You Gave Me The Sun.Twice!!

Chapter 2

Damien

"Mark, get me all the financial details you can get your hands on in regards to Crow's financial firm. I hear it is going down the drain and it is only a matter of time before they sell. I want to make them an offer they can not refuse.
Amed Crow has also started firing his management and hiring new staff with a lower starting salary. I want the documents as in yesterday before other companies hear about the fall out.I want Anderson industries to have already bought the firm by then."

Mark hurried out of my office to find the information. I am sure he will find out all I need. Mark has been with me for seven years now, my very own trusted assistant.
2 hours later, Mark hands me the financial documents and I see Amed Crow had many debts, he did not make the right choices with his last investments.
He needs exactly 1billion dollars to keep the firm running. No wonder he is firing his executive employees left, right and center.

I press on my intercom to give  Mark instructions to set up a meeting with Crow Pronto.
"Mark, get Amed Crow on the phone right now, better yet schedule a dinner meeting at Larosh restaurant today"
I immediately get back to work.
I did not become a 30 year old multi billionaire by just sitting around and twiddling my fingers.  I know a lot of people in the industry hate me because I acquire failing companies and turn into multimillion dollar companies in a short span of time.

I need to be out of here by 6pm, I glance at the clock on my mahogany office desk and it shows I have three hours left finish browsing through the deal with the Black industries.
45 minutes later, Mark informs me that the meeting with Amed is scheduled for 8pm.
Good, I have to pull this off, Mark really is the best, I should probably promote him or Atleast give him a raise.

I am immersed in the contract I am working and that when I look up it is half 6.
Dammn this always happens, I have to quickly rush home and change better yet I will just take a quick shower in the bathroom I have in my office. I hate to admit it but I practically live in my office.
To the right of my office is a door which leads to a small lounge,there is a bathroom in there too because sometimes I get lost in the work I am doing and when I look up it is past midnight.
So I have a sofa which turns into a bed in there for times like that.

It is 20 minutes before eight when I arrive at the restaurant.
It has always been my motto to arrive first, it gives me a great advantage every time.
I see Crow at the restaurant door at 5 minutes before 8, mmhhmm, at least he did not keep me waiting long like my dates usually do.
I really do not get it, this situation of women being fashionably late honestly gets in my nerves.
There is nothing funny about it. I am a busy man and I do not like waiting.
I have never been a patient man, I want this done well and done fast which is why I never stay with the same woman for more than 2 months well except for this one time in the past and even to this day I still regret dating someone for more 2 months.

Amed makes his way to my table when he spots me.

"Amed, how are you, it has been a while I took the liberty of ordering a chardonnay. You do still drink that right?"
I wait for him to sit down before I call the waiter to bring the bottle of white wine.

"Mr Anderson why don't we stop the small talk and get to why you called me here, I do not have all day, I have a company to run and a family to get to so this better be really important. I have a dinner to catch"
He sounds pissed, and rude if I might add, this is going to be fun, well two can play that game.

"Really Amed? I think we long passed the formal greeting, please call me Damien. I see you do not want to beat around the bush, but Atleast let's wait for the wine then we can talk"

The waiter brings the bottle and pours each of us a glass, I pick up my glass and bring it to my nose, hmm, nothing beats expensive wine.
Perfect for dates and and most importantly meetings.
