Everyone had stopped what they were doing, their attention fixed solely on the office."So Daniel. Who sent you here because we both know that there is no way you can afford anything and I think you should run along to your boss and tell him that Victor Hayes wants this and whatever Victor Hayes wants. He gets!"He was grinning from ear to ear and the fact that everyone was watching him belittle Daniel, that was so much satisfaction to him.Gerald turned to Daniel and there was a flicker of remorse in his eyes. "I am sorry. But I think that I am going to have to reject your offer."Daniel didn't bat an eyebrow. He had expected it, of course who would hear such an amount and not jump at the offer."Shawn," Daniel spoke for the first time since Shawn stepped inside."You would have to return to Victor and inform him that he won't be acquiring this company, because someone much bigger than him has his eyes on it.""Someone bigger, whoever employs a low life like you is certainly a nobody

Shawn froze for what felt like forever, it was the whispers of the onlookers that had brought him back to reality. He adjusted himself on his seat.He was working under Victor Hayes who had inherited more than a hundred billion, he was certain that this was a small feat and definitely not something he couldn't handle."Are you just making random bets?" Shawn asked, forcing himself to remain calm despite how anxious he now was to be done with this, because there is no way he was going back to the Hayes without the document of this company signed."Bet, what are you talking about?" Daniel asked as he crossed his legs."You keep calling random amounts. How sure are we that your boss can pay it. Or are you just going to waste our time?""If you have admitted defeat, then I can go ahead and make the transaction, this is a business deal and I have no intention of wasting anybody's time, but you on the other hand, I can't say the same for you.""What do you mean?" Shawn massaged his temple,

The air and tension in Gerald's office had become so thick, even the video that was live was now getting so many views and engagement as everyone was so eager to see how this was finally going to end.Then Shawn returned to his seat like he had never left in the first place. A smile plastered on his face."You know you got me there for a moment," he spoke and Daniel furrowed his brow."Got you. What are you talking about?""You have been bluffing all this while, now I am challenging you to call my bluff, go ahead and pay the hundred million dollars to him.""You are sure about this. You do realize that once I make the payment, I will go ahead to sign the contract and the company automatically becomes mine."He reminded him but Shawn seemed unbothered, instead he let out a hearty laugh."Of course, why do you have to spell that out to me? Are you stalling because you know that you can't pay?"Shawn asked as one of the onlookers hissed in disappointment."Does it mean that Mr. Shawn is

Gerald stared at the notification that had just popped up on his phone.Credit AlertSender: Hayes LegacyAmount: $100,000,000He stared at it again and again, blinking like he needed to make sure the fault was not from his own eyes. Then he handed the phone to his manager who looked at it carefully and confirmed that the payment had gone through completely."Congratulations Mr. Daniel Hayes......" Gerald began to speak"Save it." Daniel cut him off without looking up. "You were the same person ready to have me beaten up a few minutes ago. So I will not be taking any compliments from you today."Gerald closed his mouth immediately with a perplexed look on his face and began assembling the documents without another word."Are you sure that was the right amount?" Shawn asked from across the room."I have no business with you Mr. Shawn." Gerald shot back sharply. "I would advise you to stay out of this."A few of the staff exchanged glances. Everyone in that room had just watched Gerald
