“I will be bagging my company collaboration with a CEO if I agree to his idea,” he continued “His idea or yours. I am sure you forced that person to work with you,” Chris yelled “And I'll do well to report you to the officials,”Chris huffed loudly. His heart paused each time he wanted to believe that Louis actually got a collaboration. To him, it was impossible for Chris because he made sure to force the league of secret members to bribe and threaten any contestant from working with him.The confident smile Louis had on his face showed he was not lying. It made Chris bite his lips forcefully. His teeth ripped open his flesh and that was when he stopped biting.“You are bleeding,” Louis stated, glaring at Chris who made his disappointment and anger visible.“I know you are lying,” Chris retorted “say the truth. Do you really have someone to collaborate with?” “It's obvious you believe me, so why are you asking me again? I wouldn't say so if it wasn't true,”Chris felt embarrassed of

“Did you say something about termination?” The man nodded and looked at Louis' sweaty palms “Yeah. I said you are one of the terminated ones,”Louis hid his hands behind his back and shook his head in disagreement. He wanted to tell him that his reasons for acting like he was in trouble was for something else and never about the game.“I have not…”“I suggest you go home and forget about re-entering,” the man whispered “ unless you want to forfeit your rights as a CEO,”Louis gasped silently at his statement. Louis assumed the man was a long time worker for the company college and had witnessed years of people being terminated, so he saw it as a warning that would help him if worse came to worse. “I don't have any intentions of re-entering the competition,” Louis said “I have not being terminated”“If you say so,”“I really am not” Louis insisted “and I know that entry into the competition once eliminated is not possible,”The man almost teared up at Louis' response “I wish I had kn

At one glance, Louis jerked in surprise at the rapid sales they made in just two weeks. He could not believe that all those times he paid dust to Low Props, it actually moved with customers and investors.They all wanted something to do with his company and now it was utter stupidity to refer to his company as a failing one. Some notable business publications had begun adding him to the top list of fastest rising companies in fame and wealth.His little company that started as an idea to sway the attention of people from his ownership of Twin Tower company was turning into a success and if he continued making the right choices for the both of his companies, he would be the greatest ever to do it in the business path.Louis couldn't control his joy as he read through the documents. The addition of sales percentage thrilled him and the request of so many investors to become shareholders amazed him. His smile radiated all over his face, causing him to realize that he had not put on an ho

As he drove to the location of where he was supposed to meet with the man, his mind reeled with horrid sceneries and anxious thoughts. The man might have given up in his wait and stormed out with a revenge plot against me and the competition, he thought to himself.His car screeched to a halt when he got to the location. Without wasting any moment, he jumped out of his car and rushed inside. His eyes scanned the face of every human in the room, trying to find the man.He was prepared to feel a weight of disappointment and regret pound at his chest if he missed the meeting but to his surprise he saw the man. The man still waited for him, stuffing his mouth with grapes and champagne.A dejected and very depressed look hovered over his face showing that he had given up on the meeting. What kept him seated for all those while was the doom he envisioned for himself, and the pains that came from knowing he was going to fail.The man turned to stare at who stood at the entrance but almost sp

Louis ignored the investigator's finger and looked at the picture one more time.Was Selena aware of Hank and Zick's action? What happened that made them bankrupt? Louis thought.“God, I'm supposed to be excited at the news but what is this feeling?” Louis asked himself He knew it was far distant from love and care, and his sympathy towards the Harts were far from a thousand kilometres. It was his unbelief. His inability to believe that the Harts were going broke. A wealth that they protected with their life and guarded with barbed wires, poison darts and eagle's eyes. How did they let it slip away just like that?Louis knew Hank and Selena were masters of strategies and handled money effectively, even Zick, though a selfish, wicked and devlish stepbrother, was never the type to lavish money under Selena's radar except when she was unaware of it.“Is business failing?” Louis thought to himself. There was no possible explanation to justify their visit to a loan shark.“Snap out of th
