Leon: "tell me. What do you make of people who paste A4 posters of "the quickest way to heaven" and the like on their office walls?"
Vinesh: "stupid."
Leon: "go check at office number 304 and see for yourself what's behind the bald man in there."
Vinesh: "you mean my father?"
Leon: "oops!! My bad,,,I didn't know, sorry mate."
Vinesh: "I'll get you one day. You're lucky to have an absent father."
Leon: "why bring that up yoh?"
Vinesh: "sorry man, I had no idea it's bad."
Leon: "I hear my name called, tomorrow then. Bye."
Vinesh: "see you."
(11 years later)
Leon Spirrelo and Vinesh Bonaj are back together after varsity. Leon was at Trinity College and Vinesh went to ICD Business School. They both worked for different companies before reuniting at Beusse Commissions after Vinesh made an opening available for his friend to continue the bromance. Beusse is the 3rd largest private commissioning firm in the world and the biggest in the United Kingdom. In Europe, there're only 9 indie firms while in Uncle Sam only 2, 1 in Canada. In Africa there's only 6, with the biggest found in Tshwane, South Africa. In such a firm you'll find actuaries, accountants, auditors, commercial lawyers, attesters and archivists who doubles as data capaturers. Leon studied Corporate Science and BA Law whilst Vinesh Bcom Accounting.
By nature, Vinesh is a firm supporter and Leon a leader by any default measure. At Beusse they were struggling with setting them apart until they established their relation history and learned to work around it to their advantage. Their synergy was a paravense that they only realized in their earlier days when they incorporated. It's incorporators, Richard Benassi, Angelique Eussau, and Oswald Seiring in August 1933 to register and approve all auctions, bond originations, premium copyright articles and administration, and certify authentications thereof. Leon and Vinesh's first assignment was the Reilint Renaissance coin. They were the first to appertain, patent, register and allot to mint for commissioning in a lesser turnaround than been before, and since then they specialized in tretiture. Tretiture is the internal process of conception, design, minerals blending, weighting, cutting, polishing and casing speccing of coins to give each a distinct feel, finish and value. They mapped the blueprint of the collectible coins for commissioning order and got honours for that.
They later as executives bought a patch of land immediately out of Dublin and developed a joint partitioned estate with one entrance and exit gate, a common swimming pool and pond, common tennis and volleyball courts, common visitor's entertainment garden with a large outdoor fire place, separate visitor's parking and garages, and a shared bill biofuel tanks for diesel and petrol. They together helped drive the firm's growth into the "now" by diversification via cube nestling array in the form of smart added simple exclusive service offerings like title holdings, sealed documents archiving, and documents certifying for high net worth prominent figures. It drove growth gradually but showing signs of strength if more attention could be exercised.
In just four years they were earning more than they initially thought. One thing that they never entertained was exploration of them starting their own firm. They knew it won't be hard letting go of the salary life for endless stress and huge debts. Being executives was enough for them and they were excelling. One interesting fella was one Herod Humman, the executives' offline daily mail on all latest gossip in the firm. He doesn't falter on his job but up to date with everyone's moves and secrets. He has no enemy and has no friend, just pure colleague relations and that's it with him. None knows a thing about his family life and anything connected to him outside of work, a wickedy wick fella you can think of indeed.
One day Leon went into his open plan office looking for a junior team member, but with full knowledge he's to come back with a bag full of intel on the current affairs of the staff since been away for 2 days. He got in and as usual the whole office paused to hear what he wanted. It was a culture at Beusse for juniors to pause and listen to what any senior has to say to them before they could resume with their responsibilities. With his usual bubbly personality, with his arms behind he leaned against the door and greeted: "afternoon everyone."
Team: "afternoon Sir."
Leon: "Herod, one minute please." (as he steps out)
Herod: "all yours in a sec." (then he followed him)
Leon: "haven't you seen Berita today?"
Herod: "oh, thought you knew. She went out with the messenger for lunch. Wonder why it's taking so long though! Any problems?"
Leon: "none, nadda, why? Is there maybe anything you wanna say that Pepito might have missed to?"
Herod: "nope, just that I heard some say her inclusion in his team spells disaster in caps, she's nothing but a pathogen to the good he's trying to build. One thing I know for a fact is she's a naked mate at Kink Haven."
Leon: "I don't understand, or maybe it's just me. If you're at home with your wife naked and serving you it's a problem?"
Herod: "nope, I never mentioned privacy and home. She's doing wanton things publicly in her lingerie and at times bare breasted, that's my problem with her seeing how she'd be a bad influence on the other girls and at the end to clients."
Leon: "maybe what he wants is just that exactly."
Herod: "what exactly? Bareness parade?"
Leon: "yes maybe,,,a kinky entertainment in private for our clients, don't you reckon?"
Herod: "yuck! And you see no problem in that?"
Leon: "Pepito didn't come in parachuted, it wasn't for nothing, I think the bosses put him there specifically for that very reason, think about it."
Herod: "you think so?"
Leon: "no, I know so, and for you to do is drop off your capital judgment load and come back off laden."
Herod: "to do what? Learn about sex used on clients?"
Leon: "I'm surprised by your hypocrisy, how did you know of Berita's late night work in the first place?"
Herod: "that's my business that."
Leon: "so, stop pointing a finger at others cause three always points back at you, do remember that my fellow colleague."
Herod: "I just remembered that I have another outbound link to lead."
Leon: "hahaha,,,for which project if you may? Had no decommissionings on my desk for the week as yet."
Herod: "ehhh....."
Leon: "you see now, traits of a hypocrite. Why run away whenever facts aren't in your bin? Your crush a worry for me these days as it's starting to play itself out quite often. Wonder how you'll perform as a DM honestly."
Herod: "are you saying I'm being promoted?"
Leon: "my recommendation and motivation seem to have been drawn from the wrong candidate. But still, safely a withdrawal a welcome at times. See you around."
Herod: "does Vinesh approve of it?"
Leon: "Bonaj hadn't approached me as yet which might mean a clear or still to come hopefully."
Herod: "but should've told me earlier so I could improve my stats."
Leon: "improve to where? Or maybe I mistaken."
Herod: "no, no no no, never you. You did the right thing."
Leon: "so, are you saying that you'll support Pepito as your accounts leader?"
Herod: "this's so big, are you sure? Yes I will without any reservations."
Leon: "good. Go to Labour Master to silence the critics."
Herod: "huh! #omg."
Leon: "DM isn't MD, not an apical position, unless you're the hyphenate type. It ain't your average Gregorian chant to palate."
Herod: "oh, thanks Sprirrelo."
Leon: "and, down tone your florid in rhetoric to your acceptance, ornate is reserved."
Herod: "how but?"
Leon: "put your usualness aside in your skull for that's the skill to your survival in that damn region of deploy."
Herod: "you're hardcore on me now."
Leon: "pants wet already? Wonder how far your reverse machine has gone."
Team: "afternoon Sir."
Leon: "Herod, one minute please." (as he steps out)
Herod: "all yours in a sec." (then he followed him)
Leon: "haven't you seen Berita today?"
Herod: "oh, thought you knew. She went out with the messenger for lunch. Wonder why it's taking so long though! Any problems?"
Leon: "none, nadda, why? Is there maybe anything you wanna say that Pepito might have missed to?"

Herod: "you're hardcore on me now."
Leon: "pants wet already? Wonder how far your reverse machine has gone."
Herod: "just that your language suddenly changed."
Leon: "learn to listen to unlearn the digression circumlocution. Stage up to the vocab of the progressed, you'll understand that it's not about change but a switch to your growth. From now on, have a recorder on for your learn."
Herod: "take!"
Leon: "bribery already. High seas you'll drown from (shaking his head). Swim, don't dive. Put that away. I make that every minute I'm here, keep it. Your time to offer still to come."
Herod: "to offer? What like?"
Leon: "see now, casting a net of doubt allover again. Just go already."
Herod: "okay. Later."
Leon: "good."
Herod couldn't believe it but came to his wake when he got a morning call to confirm his new password for his titled email address from tech support. He got earlier to work on that to harness the new feel of the title in its entirety. The office he now not shared, an unlimited direct VoiP office line and a smaller reception before his office. In that very breeze a very courtesied brief and precisely formal call from Vinesh instructed him to go to Leon to wear him the title cloak of bond before entering the enemy web of sector. He was relatively new and raw to the territory of M-suitory, and trusted in the process to wipe off his layer of novicehood, and as such he went in blind for the status and lifestyle changes into it sans any questions of possible opt out or any electives on the current menu. Leon locked his office door, blindfolded him and sneaked him out through a secret passage disguised as a head to toe full width mirror into the bellied centre of the building. He performed rites for him and guided him throughout the first stages of his currency future, then blew into him the spirit of bravery and pacted to the pledge of secrecy and his irrevocable sworn allegiance to the guild. After the 3 hour derriere numbing marathon, Herod was ready for the title with full access authority. When blindfolded again Herod knew and accepted his life was no longer the same as did his whole body, as he gave his pulsated back to the lumen claustrophode octato room.
By midday he was released to go home and recharge for a big day start. The big day dawned too late for him as he got up at 3 a.m and by 4:30 was already in his car travelling back to yesterday's pass age slides and traversing through his loft of a buttered future and its unknown storms underneath the calms he's docked in as an empty vessel he was sold in the octato room as. At 6:27 it hit his bare soul that he's yet to grow once he stepped on that rink of solid solitude. All the riddles of yesterday slowly rushed to his system and suddenly a gush of bravery ran an amok a mantra that built a transformed leader he internally felt truly intimate with. He fell in love with himself as a man, a leader and a symbol of lust, status, aspiration and possibility. With a set of heart's doubt butted against his head's enthralled excitement, he told himself to stay blindsighted in his loyalty to his quest of servicing his opportunity. It was an apparent sham to the next but a definitive obligation to his honour as a made man. What's important was how he felt and how he was made to view his life through a hosted spectacle.
By 7:39 he was standing outside the office park in adoration of the bold rusted copper plated Beusse & Associates with admiration of his office window from the view below. The prospect of him taking up a bigger role position was making rounds in his mind. Still there in the rush hour traffic, a yellow lorry failed to brake and slides into the red traffic light and to the left with no control swerved and had the car parked in front of Herod's sandwiched between the street lamppost and that lorry, and missing Herod just by millimeters from a mirror slap. It left him with his heart in mouth and the odour in his immediate surrounding saying something ugly thereafter. He went in straight to his office to thank his angels. A few minutes later he was formally put in charge in presence of everyone important in the value chain. Everyone in the office was happy for him except Don, who came two years earlier to Herod. He tendered his resignation the same day business ended and with no option for serving his notice. He went on to join a private bank as a wealth management advisor but there he didn't stay long and moved on to the Royal Research and Statistics Agency, a government agency.

He went on to join a private bank as a wealth management advisor but there he didn't stay long and moved on to the Royal Research and Statistics Agency, a government agency.
Herod started off slow but settled in in no time and developed signs of gradually commendable improvement. Leon was on his case daily for his betterment. Then one good afternoon Herod got an invite to fly out to Czech Republic together with his boss and an assistant. The travel agent booked two bedrooms only and her mistake undetected. When there the first day was hectic. They had no time to go via the hotel first and instead to the first leg of the gathering and at 4 p.m were done and caught a taxi to the hotel. It was a mess, so, as the assistant wasn't a man, then Herod quickly said she'd take the other room and they will take the latter one. Herod wasn't that close to his boss and the situation was so awkward for a brief moment but Leon was used to tougher situations and sailed him through smoothly. Thankfully for that, the two had a fabulous night and ended up not sorting out the mistake. The young assistant was caught up in a wow ride to wonderland as the bosses were now into each's personalities that she was the odd one out in the stable. The second day was good and the gathering came to an end on the 3rd day and they had to fly out back home.
The following day Leon asked for Herod to visit him at home as his road with him included learning the family setup. Herod wasn't keen on doing that as he didn't want to open the door for his seniors' in into his family life, but had no choice in it as he signed up for it the day he said he'd be as and do as, and he went. To smack his curiosity was the estate they were in as he was now fighting his eyes on the sighting of Vinesh's cars facing the other house and as welcomed in found him not in there with Leon's family. He resisted questioning it loud but got the answer anyway. Vinesh came in to invite them for a beer in the fire place. They enjoyed and started seeing them as just good people he can be friendly and open to. Herod had to leave and it was later than initially planned. Even the host had a good time with the new entrant into the arena.
In the following week Herod pushed with all of his heart as his bosses felt the vibe of his rhythm and loving its vigoroso. The DM was making serious inroads into the minds of the names that mattered more than most. Herod Humman was the man to talk and listen to, and he was honoured to be part of this year's British Archives Club's 16th decade celebration. He gave the speech on behalf of Beusse and that TV appearance raised his profile quicker with immense impact than he imagined. He was an instant attention wherever he went, he was popular. He started seeing what Leon meant during the time they were in the octato by transformation of him into the seduction deductible stope. He told him about the magnet of attention he's to become once done and it was all coming to fruition so quickly. He caught attention of so many eyes. He was enjoying every moment of it and it was slowly blindsighting his personal goals.
One evening Herod received a call from an unknown woman claiming to be close to a distant relative of his about a job for her eldest daughter and begging to come to his place for a proper plea. Not liking that idea, he refused for her to come, said he'd see what to do and but the woman forced him for a clear yes, of which he ended up agreeing to. The following day he didn't know what to say when the woman paid him a visit at work to thank him and to know better about the job. The woman like many would in her position do, put pressure on him by saying that she'd return soon to finalize everything with him together with the daughter though wasn't specific as to when except that she'd call as she had his numbers. He got to feel it first hand what they meant by the saying "it's tough at the top" as his success suddenly starting to feel like it's a burden and a curse. The very same day a weird call from a high school crush demanded his audience, he was having mixed reach feelings. Everyone wanted him close to them and it was costing him his peace of mind.
He went on a date with the old almost been flame and enjoyed himself. The 38 year old had a big secret about his love life. He just celebrated his birthday alone with his mother as usual. Leon is his big motivation but not wanting to show it as it may come across as being awkward for someone of his background, more so given his seniority to the age of his boss. His invite from Leon was a dream come true but then again a curse in that it was a door opener for him to may want to come to him some day, and had to prep for that eventuality. He was planning on moving out due to his secretive past for his bosses and the whole world not to know, the reason why he never said a word about Thelma, his date the other day.
Still on that tip, the child's job seeker gave him a call informing him that in the coming week she's coming. Herod said he failed to secure a good place for her but is busy with Leon the MD to work something out for her, thinking that she'd say she'll postpone, but not. Herod at the end had no choice but to sit his mother down and beg her to her relative to talk the woman out of that mind. He hit the wall as his mother said she's not in a position to say anything as he had made a promise to her and for her to intervene would be hard as she knew her not, including the claimed supposed distant relative. He was out of options, then told himself to man up and face Leon to hear him out. In the morning Herod went about his routine and after thought it best to go to Leon to have a tea break with him and have a way to engaging him on the opening if it could be a possibility or not. He did go to Leon's office and before getting there he overheard another colleague of his, the payroll manager in a conversation with the Labour Master about him. The manager was asking her about the new rumour he heard about the possibility of Herod taking over from Leon once the CEO retires at the end of October. Then LM said it's possible given how Leon and Vinesh rave about him should he not drop his streak. He suddenly made a u-turn to use the other way. Herod was already in a bubble, bouncing by the rivers of Babylon heading to Leon.
His disappointment was finding him on his way out to Vinesh and said they sailed the Beusse Nile together to him. In there he didn't bit round the bush and told them he wanted to speak to anyone of them, and they said to him that they were all ears to him. He said: "gentlemen, I have something that needs to be brought to your superior attention."
Leon: "okay, shoot."
Vinesh: "yeah, try us now."
Herod: "thank you Sirs."
Vinesh:"mhm."
Herod: "there's this woman I just spoke to on behalf of her daughter for a job."
Leon: "in this club, the general rule of life on opportunity is simple. An opportunity seeker if not ready to fly self into the pledge zone, to then have their bearer fly on their behalf."
Vinesh: "where's the child? And how old?"
Herod: "I don't know but said at home at Ashbourne."
Vinesh: "what's she pledging? Is it good?"
Herod: "yoh guys! I don't know!! I only met her once."
Leon: "what's she holding?"
Vinesh: "how far academically and any experience if any?"
Leon: "there's no point for me to take it any further with such zero info."
Herod: "it's not zero, thing is she didn't say much except ask if there can be an opening for her daughter, that's all."
Vinesh: "and what did you promise her since you're here with those news?"
Herod: "it's just a report of what just occurred earlier today, nothing sinister or otherwise promised I swear."
Vinesh: "okay, your thoughts MD?"
Leon: "we leave it at that. Good thing is there's been no commitment from our side of any sort to dwell into, a positive at least."
Vinesh: "then we may disperse."
Leon: "later COO."
As the two turned away, Herod was full of stress as he promised the woman that he would try for her daughter. He later went to knock on Leon's office for assistance on that front. Leon was plain and simple in his explanation that he said he made no commitment for them to worry about. Herod blamed the woman for less info and Vinesh for influence on Leon to not want to hear him out. Leon said he should give the woman his numbers next time she shows up, and they agreed. Herod went back to his job. On the fourth day a woman knocked on Leon's office for a talk. She was let in and she asked: "is it Mr Leon Spirrelo?"
Leon: "depends on who you are and what you have for him."
Woman: "I'm Lizbet Ubank. I came here to seek employment opportunity for my graduate daughter, Selina."
Leon: "okay. Leon is me. I suppose you've been sent to me by Herod?"
Lizbet: "yes Mr."
Leon: "no problem. Did he tell you what I'll demand from you?"
Lizbet: "no, he only said I come up here."
Leon: "okay, that coward. I said he tell you that the general rule of life on opportunity is simple. An opportunity seeker if not ready to fly self into the pledge zone, to then have their bearer fly on their behalf, and he chose to keep quiet and send you here instead. But it's fine, I think you're on top of things, or maybe I'm imagining it?"
Lizbet: "I get it but not fully understand."
Leon: "then you don't get me."
Lizbet: "it's just that I don't want to agree to something else than what's thought to be."
Leon: "most certainly so, that's true. How old is she? And what are her qualifications and experience if any?"
Lizbet: "she's 22 and has a certificate in office management and no experience."
Leon: "and what does she want?"
Lizbet: "she wishes to be an office assistant."
Leon: "and you, what's your hope for her?"
Lizbet: "me? I don't know. It's for her but."
Leon: "I hear you. So, what are you prepared to fly for on her behalf? Or would she fly herself?"
Lizbet: "you see that, that's actually what I don't understand."
Leon: "okay. I don't have a PA, how far are you ready to go for her to have it? Or will she be here for the job herself?"
Lizbet: "she has dreams of her own but not capable of some means to achieve them, and as her mother I can't put her through that. She's not ready and I have nothing to offer except my womanliness."
Leon: "so, does that say you're willing to fly on her behalf?"
Lizbet: "if it's a closed doors, I'm ready anytime. Word out and my husband will slice me alive."
Leon: "relax, bottom line is, done, she's got the job."
Lizbet: "thank you Mr. She won't mess it up."
Leon: "I hope so, cos if she does I'll have to skin your worries alive if he does the slicing. Now, my time out is 2 p.m, and you will be at the gate to go with me. Are we together?"
Lizbet: "yes I am."
Leon: "just an hour or so we're out. For now go back to Herod and be out in an hour and head to the gate."
Leon: "in this club, the general rule of life on opportunity is simple. An opportunity seeker if not ready to fly self into the pledge zone, to then have their bearer fly on their behalf."
Vinesh: "where's the child? And how old?"
Herod: "I don't know but said at home at Ashbourne."
Vinesh: "what's she pledging? Is it good?"
Herod: "yoh guys! I don't know!! I only met her once."
Leon: "what's she holding?"

As the two turned away, Herod was full of stress as he promised the woman that he would try for her daughter. He later went to knock on Leon's office for assistance on that front. Leon was plain and simple in his explanation that he said he made no commitment for them to worry about. Herod blamed the woman for less info and Vinesh for influence on Leon to not want to hear him out. Leon said he should give the woman his numbers next time she shows up, and they agreed. Herod went back to his job. On the fourth day a woman knocked on Leon's office for a talk. She was let in and she asked: "is it Mr Leon Spirrelo?"
Leon: "depends on who you are and what you have for him."
Woman: "I'm Lizbet Ubank. I came here to seek employment opportunity for my graduate daughter, Selina."
Leon: "okay. Leon is me. I suppose you've been sent to me by Herod?"
Lizbet: "yes Mr."
Leon: "no problem. Did he tell you what I'll demand from you?"
Lizbet: "no, he only said I come up here."
Leon: "okay, that coward. I said he tell you that the general rule of life on opportunity is simple. An opportunity seeker if not ready to fly self into the pledge zone, to then have their bearer fly on their behalf, and he chose to keep quiet and send you here instead. But it's fine, I think you're on top of things, or maybe I'm imagining it?"
Lizbet: "I get it but not fully understand."
Leon: "then you don't get me."
Lizbet: "it's just that I don't want to agree to something else than what's thought to be."
Leon: "most certainly so, that's true. How old is she? And what are her qualifications and experience if any?"
Lizbet: "she's 22 and has a certificate in office management and no experience."
Leon: "and what does she want?"
Lizbet: "she wishes to be an office assistant."
Leon: "and you, what's your hope for her?"
Lizbet: "me? I don't know. It's for her but."
Leon: "I hear you. So, what are you prepared to fly for on her behalf? Or would she fly herself?"
Lizbet: "you see that, that's actually what I don't understand."
Leon: "okay. I don't have a PA, how far are you ready to go for her to have it? Or will she be here for the job herself?"
Lizbet: "she has dreams of her own but not capable of some means to achieve them, and as her mother I can't put her through that. She's not ready and I have nothing to offer except my womanliness."
Leon: "so, does that say you're willing to fly on her behalf?"
Lizbet: "if it's a closed doors, I'm ready anytime. Word out and my husband will slice me alive."
Leon: "relax, bottom line is, done, she's got the job."
Lizbet: "thank you Mr. She won't mess it up."
Leon: "I hope so, cos if she does I'll have to skin your worries alive if he does the slicing. Now, my time out is 2 p.m, and you will be at the gate to go with me. Are we together?"
Lizbet: "yes I am."
Leon: "just an hour or so we're out. For now go back to Herod and be out in an hour and head to the gate."
Lizbet: "okay, I'll do." (She went out)

Leon pushed all his appointments to the following day and in no time drove out and picked Lizbet to the lodge. He was quick especially after hearing how Lizbet was busy comparing him to her husband, about how inexperienced he was than Leon. She also asked if there's any chance they can do it again, and Leon said it's not a problem but would be for the last time. Leon got worried when he thought was done when Lizbet said she'd take the late bus back home because she doesn't get to enjoy such delicacy he had for her. Leon filled two pots more and she was still wishing for more wood for the fire. The serving was superb though he couldn't complain. They drove back to the city at 5:40 p.m with the daughter already on call asking for her whereabouts. He opted to driving her home and dropped her off at the outskirts for her dial-a-bus to get home.
Getting home it was jubilation all night long as her daughter Selina was getting ready to report for duty the following day. Her father suspected nothing and thanked God for the blessings, as he's a man of prayer. Early morning she was out for the city to start with her job. Upon arrival, the receptionist took her to Herod who kept blinking. He called Leon to find out if he knows of her and he said he'd find her waiting in Herod's office if he didn't mind. In twenty minutes he was at reception and instructing them to walk her through his office as he didn't know she's with Herod. Herod ushered her in and before he got out, asked him what he thought if he were to have a PA, and he said he'd be delighted. Leon said he can have Selina as his PA from then. Later he called Lizbet to set up another rendezvous with the lodge as the purlieu of choice.
After five hours Herod went to Leon to thank him for a PA as it has uplifted the face of his office in a professional way. It was now looking complete with Selina on the front before people can have access to him. The whole staff treated him with better respect now. And before he went out, Leon asked him: "is there any other promise that I have to quench or was it your only?"
Herod: "no Sir, it was the only one."
Leon: "good, then we'll talk again soon when I visit as it looks like now it's going to be hard to access you, had two people already complaining about it to me. Your level has gone up and they feel it instant. Treasure her if she's worth the penny and if not, say so quick."
Herod: "I will Sir. Just that am already in a good space, with a better shaped office. I never thought I could have a PA in my life and thanks to your saving my skin, did."
Leon: "you saved me actually, but after throwing me into the deeper ends. Hope it won't happen again."
Herod: "what do you mean Sir?"
Leon: "I'm paying for your promise from my own pocket because it wasn't budgeted for, simple!"
Herod: "yoh!!! I had no idea how I cost you. Can I chip in too? In fact, I insist."
Leon: "you have your title and rem pack to suit it, don't upset it."
Herod: "I have the title, it's what matters to me honestly, money is an add-on. Let's have an arrangement between us."
Leon: "sacrifices of being at the apex."
Herod: "I see them now. But we can manage them at least."
Leon: "yes, at least. I'll forward you my account and you'll debit into me and we pay her a day later."
Herod: "fine by me."
Leon: "I'll try to create a position in the new financial year to relieve us."
Herod: "if not allowing, can still keep her."
Leon: "I thought of ridding her."
Herod: "no, we can't."
Leon: "is there something I'm missing here Humman? You and her!"
Herod: "no, nothing Sir. I kinda like her, that's all."
Leon: "it better be, no emotional attachment. Invest off linked to emotion, visit Observations; provision 7."
Herod: "ahhhm!"
Leon: "I knew it. Your application to being my object of pleasure is nearing."
Herod: "but Sir!"
Leon: "it's fine Humman, stir your soul in her hollowed. It's not the worst you can't do best. Good luck."
Herod: "isn't that giving me too much credit Sir?"
Leon: "oh, isn't your dipstick dunked as yet?"
Herod: "no, I'd never do that. It's not in my nature to."
Leon: "okay, let's do this. I pay 75% and 25 from you, of her £1,238K. Is that clear?"
Herod: "I were thinking 50/50 actually."
Leon: "nadda, you earn 7.something and I 9.something, the rest you'll balance via your squeeze pout, so, worry not."
Herod: "to be honest I don't really get it."
Leon: "you aren't familiar with the recta spin?"
Herod: "I guess I know where recta is drawn from, but....."
Leon: "hold that thought. When are you free to visit?"
Herod froze and his worst fear came to fruition as he regretted going to him . He was out of danger and now he's deeper in. He then said: "it'll depend on the time and day."
Leon: "but I don't get the answer."
Herod: "I'll have to book out else my mom will be in the way."
Leon: "okay, no stress."
Herod: "I'd prefer if I come to you."
Leon: "I have to know you, so, it has to be at your house. Any objections?"
Herod: "issue is,,,uhm, I never have visits at home."
Leon: "there's something way denser than what you're churning out. Am I wrong?"
Herod: "no Sir."
Leon: "then what?"
Herod: "and please don't laugh when I say it. It's embarrassing especially at my age."
Leon: "okay, I won't. What actually?"
Herod: "I'm a virgin." (and a brief pause from both, and eyes fixated at one another's, and Herod went first)
Herod: "see, that's why I told no one."
Leon: "and you're embarrassed? Nah, you shouldn't be. Your blood is expensive I tell you, be proud."
Herod: "but why are others saying bad about it. I'm reluctant to say it 'cause of that."
Leon: "why till now, just curious. Mind not my asking."
Herod: "an opportunity just never came to do it."
Leon: "I get you. We'll chat more when I come over."
Herod: "okay Sir. And Sir, I hope this stays between us as well."
Leon: "though no big an issue for me, but will seal it."
Herod: "thanks." Leon stood up and went out with him to his office to check on how Selina's settling.
Getting into the office Selina was spread in radiance, with the office reception awe beautified by her roomy presence that inspires greetings. Leon loved how already in a few hours she's transformed the space that he even warned Herod to watch out as he felt envious of the facia that's inviting. Asking about pics on the walls Herod said she asked for a measly £95 and came back with them together with two to three other office props. She was showing that she's worth every cent she'd be earning. Getting out Leon whispered to Herod "she's a keeper, well done, the organization can't do without", and that he's going to position her for facilities manager after her probation to give the office an upgrade, and that he keep it between them. Once absorbed, she'd be off their beneficiary list. He said that fully knowing he won't keep it and will bargain with it to her, of which he did by the end of her first day shift. By evening Lizbet called to gloat about that to him, and he acted surprised to keep Herod in the hero loop.
The following morning there was a brief meeting and Selina excelled and everyone was raving about her and that they too should have PAs. Herod didn't know what to say. After the meeting Leon headed to his office and on the way told Vinesh he's got the best suitable person for the position of Organizational PA, and that's Selina. Vinesh liked her attention to detail and her smile, he was smitten and failed hiding it. Leon locked reservations for comment and lobbied for motivation on that proposition. Vinesh answered a call and Leon proceeded to his office and then thought of something else to talk about, so he passed his office in a speed of light. Selina's the new talking point of the office, rumour mill already plugging her to Herod's clutches the way they see their chemistry and office vibe. Vinesh was responding to a friend about her already.

Leon went to his senior's office, Curtis Powlingth, only to find him not in. He was still at the toilet. He went on to his office with the thought of going back later to check on him. Within minutes he was knocking on his door, and sounding interested and eager for a conversation.
Curtis: "I heard you came looking for me, anything that matters?"
Leon: "nothing in particular, I was just in to check on you."
Curtis: "you never come to your Principal Commissioner without any reason, I know you. What's up?"
Leon: "it's something small but it's a bit political."
Curtis: "okay, try me."
Leon: "it's kind of worrying how trendy it is for governments the world over to treat their learned communities. Last night I had a very insightful conversation with some professor who told me about the reality of driving licence being out of touch with the incoming technology. Said we'll be in the near future be obtaining mobility warrants which'll be classed for copting for private or commercial, mobiscating and swifting, meaning riding. The things he said aren't given green light on investment. It pained me how they get treated."
Curtis: "why do you think they aren't used?"
Leon: "to them it seems like they are too much or something."
Curtis: "what do you think is the case?"
Leon: "clearly our politicians aren't ready for excellence, they'd rather shoot it down, whilst financiers want more than is fair to them."
Curtis: "you need budget for introduction of anything new and budget for education in the rollout and change management at that on three fronts, which are the public, business and the perceptionists."
Leon: "perceptionists? Who's those in this case?"
Curtis: "your media, influencers, politicians, religious leaders, etc. in order to win it."
Leon: "my issue is what etc is?"
Curtis: "it's dependent on your knowledge."
Leon: "that's because it's a ploy to close out the thought leaders and the learned community by using etc and perceptionist narrative in their place."
Curtis: "why do you think is that?"
Leon: "it's because you don't want to plant the seed of them into the opinionated for awakening. Calling your enemy by name has that effect and you want none of that. It's obvious to the enlightened but it's fine honestly."
Curtis: "I know it's bad but a safety must."
Leon: "to save whom from what exactly?"
Curtis: "mind you, we are information processing agents, and we don't work for what is wrong and correct it, no. Let's do in protection of what's our livelihood and promote its beautiful side, done."
Leon: "sadly true."
Curtis: "I know, hence I prefer reading and reviewing reports, and streaming briefings than watching news on TV as they push for what they want channeled to the world's masses. But here, we stick to the mandate. And if there's nothing else, let's connect after my next session. See you my friend." He went out. When he got to his office he found that the virtual meeting was off and decided to go back to Leon, only to find him out. He called him and found that he's at Vinesh's office, and went there. Just before knocking, he was called by a junior data capturer and had a brief chat then knocked.
Getting in he found them talking about the code of the industry symbol, and got intrigued by the upcoming revival season. To him it was a big earworm that rubbed him right. The thought of their synergies realigned, together with other code committals, lit up his face and joined in on the subject of the conversation. He said: "please don't cut off on my account and expect me to hear about it later. How far off from it?"
Vinesh: "I thought you out-guilded from us as your absence from last cycle was too loud to not notice."
Curtis: "so, you intended on leaving me out?"
Leon: "as you damn right know, pretense looks good only when you do good."
Curtis: "is that your truth?"
Leon: "truth is a secret and same is elements of wealth cause they're expensive, and for a person of my lower worth, couldn't accommodate your high value mistakes."
Vinesh: "and my gem truth is, I have never read the book of Mormon to understand that. The Deseret stuff too, still a bit complex if not foolish confusion for me to say the least."
Leon: "if reason is a shield for someone, run then behind their shadow to learn how to disarm them."
Curtis: "but then, where would your own shadow be falling?"
Leon: "it'll be to the subject of objection."
Vinesh: "why is pregnance of honesty not a wet reality?"
Curtis: "your question an early adoption of truth."
Leon: "a pick in 7 living colours."
Vinesh: "but then, with this leash, are we in sing of the signed cross?"
Curtis: "its readability a dependence."
Leon: "did as a bloc banner then yes."
Curtis: "done, encircle me then."
Vinesh: "11th stripe of May is on I suppose?"
Leon: "pull up to the bumper sticker mate, play in the ring."
Curtis: "this,,your game I know. It's on."
Leon: "I'll order 3 strikes for us."
Curtis: "why toward the door?"
Leon: "have to be touched somewhere."
Vinesh: "copy noted."
Leon: "let me go be the currency there. Next cycle refresh." (He got out)
Vinesh: "go well my friend."
Curtis: "I heard you came looking for me, anything that matters?"
Leon: "nothing in particular, I was just in to check on you."
Curtis: "you never come to your Principal Commissioner without any reason, I know you. What's up?"

Vinesh: "go well my friend."
With a chuckle Curtis said: "you know, this man has witty jokes. Last weekend he said that a nation's character is found in its citizens' naming, hahaha."
Vinesh: "I don't understand!"
Curtis: "you don't? No wonder you always produce qualification papers whenever you're requested identity." (they both laughed)
Curtis: "guess I'll have to hit the reprint."
Vinesh: "not yet, tell me about the joke first."
Curtis: "still wrapped in that? That's that. The last and first names."
Vinesh: "huh?"
Curtis: "the length of their names and last name determine how productive a nation is."
Vinesh: "your title fits your description, bad joke teller."
Curtis: "haha, you are the one who's too slow for wit."
Vinesh: "that depends on the audience and you two are of the same feathers. And but true, Leon is interesting."
Curtis: "indeed. He told me about your improvements in your man cave."
Vinesh: "hogwasher! He didn't want to brag directly, it's actually his spending on my ideas. His modesty will kill him real death one day."
Curtis: "don't start on that one, hahaha, classic. Have to blank your page."
Vinesh: "safer than delete. But before you go, I'd like to pick your brain on something."
Curtis: "okay, try me."
Vinesh: "what's your thinking around a post for an Organizational PA? An equivalent of Company PA."
Curtis: "mhm,,new territory for my forte to claim its prominence but having weight I feel wouldn't knock sense to wrong heads. It's good. What's up with it? Any candidate in particular for that?"
Vinesh: "glad you like it."
Curtis: "don't coerce me, I'm warming to it and to like it once put the face to it."
Vinesh: "well, you sound, and I'm thinking of this new girl, Humman's PA."
Curtis: "who's she, cos I got a call from a board member some few minutes ago enquiring about her and her budget."
Vinesh: "let me call him about that."
Curtis: "you better."
The fone rang and Herod answered: "Mr Bonaj, how may I help you?"
Vinesh: "it's a quick one fortunately. The PA's budget, where is it from as we never had it tabled before?"
Herod: "oh, that! It's coming from our pockets, me and Spirrelo."
Vinesh: "okay, that's all, thanks. Bye."
After the call he told him and Curtis said: "I trust Spirrelo saw something in her for him. Nothing said to you regarding that?"
Vinesh: "no, nothing at all. But I suspect he's piloting it and soon a proposal will hit the highest table."
Curtis: "it'll be a welcome one. What's your thought on that?"
Vinesh: "liked it hence I am here."
Curtis: "tell him to furnish me with his angle on it."
Vinesh: "I'll do so, thanks."
Curtis: "well, now I believe it's my cue to vacate this office. The commission brief in 10 minutes, don't forget."
Vinesh: "oh, too comfortable already I had forgotten. Bye for now."
Curtis: "thanks, chow. See you there." (He too went out and Vinesh left to idle in his office pushing minutes to the briefing time with a call to Leon for the feedback)
(A month later)
Curtis passed by Herod's office before to his, for the last time before convening a meeting for Leon's proposal. As usual, it was pleasantly warm to be in that space with Selina treating him to a courtesy usher into the office of Herod. To Herod's surprise, Curtis said he'd put in extra for Selina to encourage her for the good she's doing for his office and the agency as a whole. In two hours Selina almost fell after a beep popped a notification that was more than she was expecting. She asked Herod and he told her it's her bonus for the good work. She was over the moon and thanked him every time they meet until she was released earlier just after 2:30 to do her stuff. Getting home her dad was so proud of her that she bought him new slippers and a new camera for him to take pictures of his favorite flowers, lilies. Her mother was pleased that she kept her side of the bargain by delivering. Later she pretended to be having network issues on her fone so she could thank Leon in person. To her husband praises goes

Curtis: "mhm,,new territory for my forte to claim its prominence but having weight I feel wouldn't knock sense to wrong heads. It's good. What's up with it? Any candidate in particular for that?"
Vinesh: "glad you like it."
Curtis: "don't coerce me, I'm warming to it and to like it once put the face to it."
Vinesh: "well, you sound, and I'm thinking of this new girl, Humman's PA."
Curtis: "who's she, cos I got a call from a board member some few minutes ago enquiring about her and her budget."
Vinesh: "let me call him about that."
Curtis: "you better."
The fone rang and Herod answered: "Mr Bonaj, how may I help you?"
Vinesh: "it's a quick one fortunately. The PA's budget, where is it from as we never had it tabled before?"
Herod: "oh, that! It's coming from our pockets, me and Spirrelo."
Vinesh: "okay, that's all, thanks. Bye."
After the call he told him and Curtis said: "I trust Spirrelo saw something in her for him. Nothing said to you regarding that?"
Vinesh: "no, nothing at all. But I suspect he's piloting it and soon a proposal will hit the highest table."
Curtis: "it'll be a welcome one. What's your thought on that?"
Vinesh: "liked it hence I am here."
Curtis: "tell him to furnish me with his angle on it."
Vinesh: "I'll do so, thanks."
Curtis: "well, now I believe it's my cue to vacate this office. The commission brief in 10 minutes, don't forget."
Vinesh: "oh, too comfortable already I had forgotten. Bye for now."
Curtis: "thanks, chow. See you there." (He too went out and Vinesh left to idle in his office pushing minutes to the briefing time with a call to Leon for the feedback)
(A month later)
Curtis passed by Herod's office before to his, for the last time before convening a meeting for Leon's proposal. As usual, it was pleasantly warm to be in that space with Selina treating him to a courtesy usher into the office of Herod. To Herod's surprise, Curtis said he'd put in extra for Selina to encourage her for the good she's doing for his office and the agency as a whole. In two hours Selina almost fell after a beep popped a notification that was more than she was expecting. She asked Herod and he told her it's her bonus for the good work. She was over the moon and thanked him every time they meet until she was released earlier just after 2:30 to do her stuff. Getting home her dad was so proud of her that she bought him new slippers and a new camera for him to take pictures of his favorite flowers, lilies. Her mother was pleased that she kept her side of the bargain by delivering. Later she pretended to be having network issues on her fone so she could thank Leon in person. To her husband praises goes
to Herod, though she knows her part in the process and also who makes things happen.
One day while in their usual smoking triangle, Pepito came to join in the piped party. The awesome 3 are used to making a spectacle of forming clouds in the air from their natural chimneys. It was fun until a spoiler topic got thrown in to mess with the mood. Pepito asked if he could have Selina included in her team of sales cheerers and Curtis looked at both Vinesh and Leon for their reactions, and then looked at Pepito with that look. Selina was hot and vibrant, a dream for one like Pepito. "She's off the availables menu, there's a big responsibility for her in the coming 2 months. Forget about her" said Vinesh. The disappointment was too hard to kick to the back. They kept on puffing their mint cigars, Boneno Romanticore's 4 ticks, and ooh boy the scent it leaves, to die for, so sickly sweet. Pepito swindled his presence into thin air, and the mood of the moment lit again and amore. It was puzzling why all the bosses were protective of the newbie and he too got to a conclusion that she's with either Herod or Vinesh, and later on thought of the look from Curtis, and figured it must be him. Two days later, Curtis called Pepito to task him with finding for them girls like Selina. Pepito was taken out of his comfort zone and but promised to be of assistance in that with full understanding of what he actually meant.
The following morning, on a Saturday, he called Lizbet thinking it's Selina, and got surprised. He was given her over and the young beautiful one promised to arrange for 6 beautiful and well behaved girls. It was an assignment for quarter of a week but did deliver. On Wednesday they were in and graced Pepito's presence. He had them all interviewed and was sure of all of them. He then presented them to their boss, Curtis, who almost skipped out of his skin. "The 6" as he presented them, all came from Waterford, and looked well mannered. Pepito was impressed with the mood that the boss was after seeing the ladies. He told them to learn much as they could about office etiquette, filing and CRM. He gave them a handbook per head to read for thir familiarity with the organization. He thereafter thanked them for coming and left. A few moments later he called Pepito to tell him to instruct them to start with the month after a full 3 day training with him and Selina. Hearing that, Selina was so pleased with herself in realizing how true Herod was rooting for her as he keep saying that. On the other hand, Pepito cheered the fact that he might per chance score a microphone suckle from her. He was heart's out lost to the cupid's jamboree.
Lizbet was happy with the rapid progress that Selina was making, and that made her strengthen her ties with Leon whilst on the side calling Herod to thank him for advancing the career of her daughter. She was a real mother. Herod's ego was massaged indeed. Leon got a feedback on the PAs developments from Curtis for his endorsement thereof and to praise him for the initiative. In the same breath, Leon logged into Herod's claim to lodge a withdrawal of facilities manager in place by Organizational PA rather, and had him prep Selina for that and send her to him for readiness. Herod did so and in 2 days came back to him. Him and Herod did a session and got her ready for the top position. Making sure he's calling the shots, Leon casually called Curtis to have Herod politely draw up the report and forward it asap for appointment of the OPA. Selina saw that and read into Herod's submission to him. Herod thought he'd go out with her but Leon did the unobvious by releasing her alone and let him stay behind with him for the main points on his report to Curtis. Herod read nothing from the pulled move and got out to keep playing the queen maker to her though the glue no longer stuck like before from there. With her promotion it meant she was no longer going to be in Herod's office, but in the upper ki-+ikfloor with the bigger bosses.

That au'long been there unused store room was then turned into an ideal office for their OPA. The OPA had a huge for her standards office and had a very bad impact on her. At that level she was introduced to a whole new world of business. She was linked to Pepito for a crash course on CRM at that level and to thereafter be uplifted by clanks for a low key welcome by Vinesh. Known to the 3 for his tight outfits that draws out his fat Latino roll, they knew he won't let her off the hook without a prop venture, and they then observed her behaviour from there. She handled herself well and they knew she'll do good to keep higher net contributors happy.

(4 months after)
Herod's office gained a reputation for its cleanliness and tidiness. On the other hand Vinesh and Leon had a PI tail Herod to find out anything sinister with him as he seemed to be too clean. Within two months it was clear that he indeed was a simple life liver who never goes anywhere after work, during weekends or on any time free. But then, something did catch their attention about his lifestyle. He can't have anyone taken home as his mother was jealous of the relationship she's having with her son. The PI found a big secret by the two, which connects to two big bombs.
Herod had a sister who disappeared 19 years ago and was told she went to school overseas whereupon she thereafter got married to a drug dealer whom got them both arrested and that's the end of her. She was reported to have last been seen by the neighbors 3 weeks after her 18th birthday before she left together with her boyfriend, Luke Thompson. Per the findings, actually she never left to anywhere as all ports of exit and entry have no record of her leaving. It was established that through further deep digging that Luke went missing and never found to date. Investigation report had it that in the Humman household they had a family rite of passage into the free world that the sister Helen didn't approve of. The ritual involved her having coitus in front of the younger brother and mother to welcome her into the free world, but she refused. With that an argument was had with the whole family and left the father with a heart attack that saw him die. Immediately after the burial the mother and Herod had another serious one that pissed them off hearing that Luke knew about their family secret and him too was disapproving of it.
Herod and his mother conspired and killed Helen, and after Luke coming twice looking for Helen not at home, he made a mistake when he mentioned going to the police to report her girlfriend missing if they didn't do so. That ultimatum was the end of him. Herod told him she ran off to the cave (some cave they used to play at and even spent their time at) to cool off but never came back, as such they may go check her together because even their mother was worried about her not coming back. In the cave, there was a long winded narrow hole that formed a pit which they didn't know its depth. Upon getting there, as usual, Luke led the way in and called out to no answer back. They went further in and once closer to the hole, Herod hit him from behind with a stone and pushed him into the hole. To ensure none got to hear him scream, pulled a flat limestone and cover the opening of the pit with. Satisfied, he went back home to tell his mother what he just did and they kept it a secret. On his 18th birthday, two years later, they had coitus and since then they had it. The incestrous relation made the mother vow never to let any girl to take her son away and have him polluted. To date the family of Luke is still on the search and thought never of approaching the Hummans for answers as they were thinking their children ran off together. Herod grew up with that and remained a virgin he thinks he is as to him what he has with his mother is still a family tradition not to be counted as such as he does it for the mother's satisfaction purely.
With that on on Herod, they understood why he's like that. Herod's after everyone's business to safeguard his own. Secondly, he can't be visited because of the fear his mother due to age may blurt it out. He's stressed 'coz he's now left with only her and can't picture a life without her. Killing her will be an eyebrows raiser and with today's technology he won't get away with that. With a nymph incestuous mother, Herod's life ain't easy seeing sometimes mostly during weekends how they'll have a bath together. Herod's somehow grown to that and to his belief won't find such kind of stimuli and passion outside of his mother and comfortable in that. The games they played in water were interesting, their bond, none can break. The only challenge with the investigation was the fact that the exact location of Helen's shallow grave wasn't pinpointed, but either in the house or the backyard.
One day Leon asked to visit Herod but he refused smartly by using his mother's illness as an excuse. Then in a few days he assigned Herod to a trip to Wales for a night with Selina and to come back later after the closing the following day. Herod was at pains to leave his mother alone as he wasn't comfortable for the mere fact that last time she threw tantrums when he got back. Asked how his mother was, he said not that bad but still far from her full recovery. When told he could have her taken care of by the firm's caretaker he flipped suddenly to defensive tackle saying she had one. Having said that he had no choice but to go and had his hands full with Selina wanting a piece of him. He was bored and she read that in him to her surprise and quickly retreated. On the other front it was still on for the clean spinner Leon and the OPA's mother, Lizbet. Lizbet was doing that to also buy protection for her daughter, not knowing how advanced she was.
One afternoon during a half day shift due to mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, knowing he all the leaves last, Selina timed the leaving of Leon and asked of him for assistance on a tough assignment she was about to submit. He had no problem and stayed behind. With no suspicion of her having any hots for him, the young one got into his office ready for action and told him how she was thankful for his contribution in her career. She wildly jumped and humped on the desk slowly unbuttoning her top and reaching out to his shirt. He asked her: "what do you actually want? What do you mean with this?" and Selina put her finger on his mouth and eyes half closed whispered "ssh" to him softly. "Is this your assignment?" he asked, and she said: "let's mourn the queen spectacularly and send our thanks and praises to the Lord for bringing you into my life. Let's be special" by then unwrapping and gently spreading her flowered bomb to his face. She drew her fone out her bra and one push to the play button it fed back a hard hitting 'mia fi giv it up, if ya dig it out' her favorite dancehall tune. Unbeknownst to her, Leon, Curtis and Vinesh have three buttons beneath their desks. First is for panic, the other for a meeting emergency, and the last for clear smoke, which meant a lot to them. Leon hit it and both came back to the office for the call up. They found him in session and they got in, and Selina not knowing what to say or do in a state of shame as she wasn't expecting that nor ready for it, Vinesh then said to her: "we won't hurt with our bites too" as he pulled down his pants. "This is our our circle pip tik" said Curtis, already all stripped and with his hands on her tits. The steamy naughtified sinning had bits of bi-phoric treats as the bulls had a go at each other softly that not even once had she cared to notice. It was a 3 hour nerve wrestling experiential assignment for her it proved, of which by the end of she was delivering pieces of them together and with Vinesh walking away carrying a bigger slice. She bloated the insatiable streams of desires floating 3 ways.
The following days it was like nothing ever happened as everything was normal, and then on the day of the funeral, Selina lied to her mother about having a backlog of work that she had no choice but to go attend to. She called Vinesh and asked if he was free to meet, and found him free as to be honest he's used to working on Mondays and so they met. She told him she still had game left for his stream if he'd like to be floated upon, and he dived in. They went to the office and luckily found none there. They played for a good 2 hours and she was happy. A day later they were spearheading the Queen Elizabeth coin campaign themed "the Royal Curtain Fall". Herod didn't get a brief on the current campaign and got a bit disturbed by the exclusion but chose to not voice his concern. The tretiture was done in less than 48 hours and had it approved for commission in 18 hours. To Herod's relief was when he was called in for its announcement. It came to him that they were in a hurry and cut off on some of the normal processes to make the cut off. After his rushed media briefing during daybreak, the coin was hitting the mint for pressing. By Sunday evening he was live on TV and radio and online streams showing off what's dubbed the world's most valuable coin by far and officially announcing its dates of availability and booking details. It was hectic.
Stepping out of camera front he was on to off face face off with journalists to get the fuller coverage of the details. Herod comes alive when doing that, it made him forget about all his troubles and live for the moment. His mother was so proud of her son and would cheer him whenever he is on TV or radio. His shy nature made him not accessible to neighbors whom were also proud of him but couldn't visit him as he never allowed any except two other old women who were in the same knitting club as her. Then a few hours of seeing him busy, he received a call from one of the two old women, asking him to come home quickly. He understood his mother had passed on. Getting home and ready to receive the bad news, he was met by his mother in high spirits and asked what's going on. The old women said nothing and just looked at him. He became worried and frustrated and his mother wasn't looking him in the face. "I am tired of living life that's not mine and you having no freedom my child" and for her being in the retreat room said a lot to him because that's in where they buried Helen. He was lost for words. His mother uttered the words "just know they know,,,they know,,,and they know you, but you don't know them" and she kept quiet thereafter. The old women asked: "who's that person who came here and changed her?"
Herod: "who came here?"
1st woman: "that man in a blue van."
2nd woman: "he finished her in just a sec."
1st woman: "and he didn't say much but it cracked her same time."
Herod: "what did he say he want?"
1st woman: "I overheard Helen and know about her and the argument, but nothing to me made sense. My focus was on her and her reaction. It has to do with your long lost sibling I take it. It's hard on a mother I know, especially after so long."
Herod: "could you describe the man please?"
1st woman: "you worry about someone we don't know instead of your mother?"
Herod: "you don't understand! I have to get a clue whom it is before it's too late."
2nd woman: "the truth. He has to find him to save his mother."
1st woman: "but his mother is dead quiet now and he's not even caring about that? If it were my offspring it were going to be different I tell you."
2nd woman turned to Herod and asked: "why not treat your mother first? Who in the family can you call to come?"
1st woman: "what she heard teared her apart. She needs another person to talk to."
Herod: "you may leave, I'll take it from here!"
1st woman: "I refuse to. Emily is going to the hospital today, otherwise she won't survive this."
Herod: "nope,,survive what?"
2nd woman: "the pain of losing a child."
1st woman: "it's not that. Something big has happened somewhere with her daughter, I'm concerned that he doesn't get it."
Herod: "please let me have some space with my mother, please."
2nd woman: "alright my son,,you take good care of her. Nurse her until she feels stronger."
1st woman: "stronger for what? There's more than meets the eye here. She said she's tired of living life that's not herself, haven't you heard? I can't leave. My 6th sense says no. Why's he numb all of a sudden? Can't you see it? There's definitely something th....."
Herod: "that's bugging her, yes, and it would help if you left us alone so she tells me what she heard."
2nd woman: "okay child. Good bye and good luck!!!"
Herod: "why luck ma'am?"
2nd woman: "I am a nurse by profession and I can tell she's not okay at all."
1st woman: "I'll call the ambulance once I get home" and Herod's mother shook her head in response to her.
2nd woman: "she's tired, she wants to go in peace. Let's let her be." From that statement they took their handbags and followed each other out. Looking back they saw their friend wave them goodbye and they knew they made the right call. It didn't take and hour and Herod was at their doors knocking to inform them of her peaceful passing. They accepted as they saw her bid them her final goodbye.
At work, Herod filled in a leave from citing family responsibility and never even once mentioned his mother being late. It was only discovered later only a day before her funeral that he's busy with arrangements for that on TV in passing. He didn't realize that those random announcements have turned him into a celebrated face in public, and he wasn't impressed as it publicized what was supposed to be a small intimate affair into a big deal. His bosses visited him the very same day. When asked for reasons why he didn't report it, he said his mother wasn't a public person and he wanted a small private burial for her per her character. Curtis wasn't convinced and he showed it but Vinesh and Leon weren't too drawn into it. Herod openly asked if he's got a blue van, and he shook his head and asked: "why should I drive a van with such a bad colour? I prefer red for a van. Why ask though?"
Herod: "nothing in particular, just thought you had one."
Curtis: "or you guys know anyone driving one?"
Vinesh: "unless one by my aunt. She had an '84 Grandvan left behind by my uncle after leaving her alone after a head-on collision with their two daughters in '89. Only had he taken that on the day they'd still be alive today, instead of that new moving coffin he so loved."
Leon: "Uncle Titus, I remember, you were so fond of him. May his soul continue to rest in eternal peace. See what funeral news do us. Let's drop this subject."
Curtis: "seconded."
Leon: "what time is the funeral?"
Herod: "8:45 we start, and at 9:45 we'll be heading to the crematorium."
Curtis: "oh, okay. Simple, I like that. We should save our land. We did that too with my father. Smart choice."
Herod: "thanks."
Vinesh: "yes, it is."
Leon: "we don't plan on being long, we have to be going to ready selves for tomorrow though still pains me that you never wanted for us to be here with you. That I'll never forget Humman, just know that. Sure we can come?"
Herod: "yeah, sorry. I'd much appreciate that. Thanks."
Curtis: "tomorrow then, man." Vinesh said nothing and they got out. Once out said that he's worried about the state of that man's mind, and Curtis glanced at Leon for his reaction but noticed that he wasn't even there. They got into Vinesh's car and drove back to work.
The following morning Vinesh collected Curtis alone and told him Leon said he'd fail to pretend he's not fine about what had happened. Curtis fell for it and took a support stance to his feelings and went for the sake of courtesy. After the funeral they turned their backs and never had a chat or stay to engage with other mourners and the public. Their leaving left tongues eeping, asking selves why, but a message to him the chief mourner that what he did wasn't right. He knew from then going forth it'll be different between him and the 3. Still not sure exactly what transpired leading to the death of his mother, he decided to quit his job and see if he can find another job elsewhere far away from home. Indeed he penned a resignation letter and typed it for emailing. The immediate effect resignation was accepted and was forced to address the media for his decision. It went smoothly as planned, Herod was out of Beusse. Selina tried her best to dig his real reason but nothing concrete came out though was obvious something is busy eating at him.

It went smoothly as planned, Herod was out of Beusse. Selina tried her best to dig his real reason but nothing concrete came out though was obvious something is busy eating at him.
Herod got employed in a niche telecommunications company and in his first week was already on a streak that it was visible there's a big cat among the pack. He was doing good for himself and that's then things went awry for him. He was a threat to his senior boss and it became clear that they can't hide it. He was no longer enjoying the job and to his disbelief found himself on rebound with his younger self, and felt at ease of his comfort in harboring the spirit of his younger self. He couldn't overpower the thought of devouring his boss's soul and it gradually took over and in 3 weeks it was on autopilot, it was over, he was ripe for the soul raking. The pouncing plan laid silent in his timing of their pay day. He just couldn't resist the urge to deal with the boss for good. Pay day came and he went in unplanned to the latter but the timing right. He hired a car to follow the boss and established where he stays, and later had a gun bought from the streets and drove to his home and waited for him to get back. It took two and half hours for him to come back, and just as he pulled up to his garage front and waiting for the door to open, Herod got out of the hired car and went straight to his window side to shoot five times and three times straight into his body and twice on the car. He ran off into the car and sped off before anyone could recognize him or the car. Midway home he changed his clothes and burned them before driving off. It went smoothly and the following morning it was announced that his energy killer is no more. None suspected him for the hit, as it was heard how he had an affair with someone else's wife and had a brawl once twice with the husband and as a result all eyes thrown his way. The woman's husband was taken in for questioning and the slain boss was laid to rest within days. A week after the funeral Curtis said that he wasn't aware of the death of Herod's boss and only heard after he's buried. To Leon and Vinesh it was a question of how did he die. It was later revealed on that day of how he died. The following day it was hard for Herod he spotted a blue van driving off from their premises upon his late arrival at work.
The issue of the blue van got him eaten the whole day, asking himself when did it arrive? Whom is it? What is he looking for? What do they know? Do they know about the new murder as well? Those were the questions running in Herod's head. The fact that everyone was normal settled him a little bit at least but surely someone knows and he had to find out quick. Just when he was about to knock off an unknown number came in to inform him of their knowledge of his crimes, and also to warn him not to repeat them again. Herod was trying so hard to catch the voice but couldn't get it outright, as he kept looking out the office window to see if there's anything from anyone that's suspicious. Nothing sighted near and around could lead him to a clue. He then dropped the call with his heart pumping outside of his chest. "What's really going on?" he kept asking himself. He drove home slowly and careful who may be tailing him but none. Herod was in a state of disillusionment and paranoia. Getting home he found a small note addressed to him that he must know that where he's from, someone quiet knows about him but will remain quiet until provoked. He was puzzled about the "where" as it's not clear about the exact setting. He started losing his marbles on on/off mode and as time went by got an indefinite leave. What made him worse was the day the security officers dropped by to check on him per order from the CEO, and he snapped. It was a drama as he tussled them. His screams of him not being the one who killed him caused them to cuff him and head to the police station for questioning in a controlled space.
He was interrogated to a point of break and ended up confessing. The security officials got word out about it and the press was onto it to make it breaking news. Curtis was one of the first to hear about the news through a journalist friend and rushed to Leon who called in Vinesh to tell him the whole story together. The story silenced Curtis as he was never told a thing and suspected nothing. To Herod's colleagues and former ones, it was shock all the way. Since none was in his corner, Selina went to the police station and they gave her the date for his appearance and she arranged for him a lawyer. The lawyer came in late for him as he had already a confession recorded and reduced to docket on a signed paper. Herod went for bail hearing and got bail as he wasn't a flight risk. The following day he had a consultation with the attorney and it became clear to him that it's done for him, and he went to the cave to say all he had to say and then took out his pistol and shot himself in the head. It was quick, with no guest to witness and took a month and a week before he was found. Vinesh said: "it was obvious where he'll end his cycle to make it full, at the epicenter crime scene. He did bravely good, he'll be sorely missed" to the staff when he reported his death. Selina was numbed by the sad news, after all her efforts this man went on to do what he did selfishly. She didn't even attend the funeral the way she was mad at him. On that day she went out for a long drive with her boyfriend instead. Herod's chapter with her was now officially written in white on white, and same case was with everyone moving forward.
On their way back Curtis pulled over for a threesome quaff in a roadside pub. With no much to say he asked: "do you guys think he's in heaven or hell?"
Vinesh: "goes to your judgment of what you knew his for, that's the bottom line."
Leon: "true, and that's why you're busy now questioning that about him. Because you knew him twice."
Curtis: "yes I do, hence I'm bothered as to which side does hold more weight on his chances. He's been good but reservedly bad on the other side. Hope he makes it to heaven so I meet him again."
With a big laugh Leon said: "you do believe you're going to heaven?"
Curtis: "but why not?"
Leon: "I don't wanna be left here, so let me seal my pipe, but the death of the lying can't be flashed in the same light with that of the not in the corneas of bold heaven's knights."
Vinesh: "going to heaven is something else my friend. Not many in your level in life and career gets there. Your tainted souls deserve no mention even on the heavens leader board."
Leon: "the things you've been through to get to where you are disqualified you for long long kilometers away from excuses of not putting you there. What you ought to invest in right from here is decluttering your soul's portfolio of worldly oddities for your soul's inventory of Godly holities if you catch me." Seeing Curtis roll his eyes, Leon further rolled out his lines: "your only chance is uploading a new set of values in your belief system and bravely discard all those useless excesses weighing you from making it to heaven to sinners like us, we have enough capacity for harboring offloads of the righteous, hahaha" and patting his back they laughed to their final gulps with thoughts of heading back to office before heading home. They exited and off they drove back.

"But guys, of us, whom do you think has a better chance though?" asked Curtis after a deep sigh as they head to the last traffic light before they make their turn into their basement parking. With a mute dominant in the car, Leon as usual broke the silence and volunteered his lump for a knowledgeable revert: "you see my friends, when you start obsessing over evil you attract it, so, the reason you experience mute reasoning is the effect of your planted seed. To you, between us who'll make the cut to heaven had we had an accident and died today?"
Curtis: "it truly says you then are the one who won't make the cut."
Leon: "yes I won't and not shy about that, because I never aspire for heavenly ever after life, no, I just want to do my thing in this life and die happied a man fulfilled. To dwell on what I don't know about its trueness isn't on my mind."
Curtis: "to happy life in this lifetime then!"
Vinesh: "there you go."
Leon: "let's go in and be" and with him in lead whistling his favorite sad repertoire melancholy "3 Pieced Man's jagged dejection threnody" they got out of the car to the balcony and sat there until sunset, and planning for the activities of the following day.
The break of dawn experienced river flow from Selina remembering her times with Herod that saw her by midday tirement in the face of Leon scened in his office. She threw herself in whimpering, and him no choice but to hug her to stop. His scent of cologne marred her pituitary with pips of sensuality. Her hands started physique tour of his firm chubby frame. He asked: "what's the intended destination?"
Selina: "wherever the mental arrow points it shall be."
Leon: "by the by, what are we crying for today?"
Selina: "still can't believe it....."
Leon: "that he's gone or that he wasn't half the smokescreen he blinded you by?"
Selina: "hmmmm,,actually either is."
Leon: "fear a sole that fails at guiding others' destinies, scratch not his!"
Selina: "you reckon?"
Leon: "yeah, and you, how hard or flat is your ideal surface?"
Selina: "your transport too fast for my low traffic mind, deceleration a must."
Leon: "if I don't step on it, the bank of seduction may close its transaction window, and one of us will end up high in wait for the queue to clear first. Now, that's not so attractive or is it?"
Selina: "no, never" as she size her mouth for a tongue lock with him and knocking on the table to indicate her chosen surface. As if she was feeling it, Lizbet called and he glanced at his fone and she hit the blood button without looking. She wanted a quench of her swung heights of nymph emotions. They cherried the picks of their body count as a stall encounter. It wound up to welcome of evening and she pushed back to send the full tank gauge signal, and warning beeps were loud and clear on the head up display. Home bells rang for both and they answered by a wet wax departure that ripped the click. Soon as he got into the car, Leon called Lizbet and faked his yawn to cut the call short, and it worked. Getting home he dived into the pool and got his dinner from there, in the name of spontaneity and it won him a clear following.
Beusse wasn't growing as planned though coin sales saw a boost from the death of Herod. A day after a grilling by the board, Curtis, Leon and Vinesh called it quits to protest ungratefulness displayed by the directors for their full throttle selflessness poured into the entity. The media labeled it as a throwing of tantrums for rejection of tongue lashing. But for those inside, it wasn't the true reflection of the religion proclaimed. The team felt the same way and went on a "go-slow" protest. Within a day their grievances were listened to and promises made that but materialized not in that the trio declined their offer for a comeback, with instead announcement of them joining a newcomer firm, and that raised eyebrows as everyone started looking at them. They founded their own firm and the media gave them
free airtime. They added services like individual coins designs, coin faced rings and medallions, and undercut fees on all services offered by Beusse. The pressure they exerted on the market was too hard to ignore, and one morning they woke up to news that the building they occupied was bought and were forced to relocate.
It was a wonder that in the early hours of the next day of moving that a clear case of arson made it to the register of crimes as only the portion they're occupying in their new office block was burned down and got reported an hour later. It was obvious a sabotage from the former bosses and but their battle was fought through crowd funding. In 3 weeks they were back and bigger than then. Beusse wasn't chuffed by the prospect of losing market gradually to the newcomer firm. Beusse filled the ad space and were visible all over but then, Carat Consulting swelled the nerve system of social media space and won the battle. In a few bad days an offer to buy them was on tabled and they accepted the sweet deal. And just before Beusse's bosses sweats dried up, the mean 3 went on to start another firm that this time was special in the market, a paralogy consultancy. Their turn was felt by their competitors in the disciplines of communication, com law, medicine and big data space. Beusse was left with an egg on their faces, and one particular good friend to them dealt Beusse a huge blow when he resigned from its board to join the newcomer, by the name of Fernando Ferdinand. With that reinforced inclusion of him they had a master in the team who is a medicinal wizard. They entered the fray as THEM4 consultancy.
To one journalist on air Leon said this to her about a question on why "THEM4"? He said: "we are the revelation of the revolution long promised. We are the 4 souls bound by pact not bond, we are way deeper than friendship. Our relation is on commerced brotherhood. The outer workings of our God is the inner lations of yours, we do as follows his grandgods" with a very assured and bold assertion. It was met with an uproar by the religious rebels but blew off as the uptake proved otherwise. THEM4 was a plan stepping success in that it became something not entirely new but a different way to deliver advises to clients satisfactorily at a good premium.
Selina wasn't happy anymore at Beusse because of culture change to the point of her too resigning after two firms approached her, one an auditing firm and the other a law firm, and she felt more aligned with the auditors, of which it didn't take long was madly in love with one of the partners, Tim Palmer. Lizbet was still on her journey of sensual digs with Leon for her daughter's security sake. With Fernando they were not growing as planned but hanging in there after the hype died down, but gradually making progress...dp
Q_how do you deal with people who force your hand for favours for their gain? What do you think made Herod's mother confess to the PI? How will Selina react if she were to discover she and her mother fell for the same man? Does sabotage to your competitor make a justified business case sense?

Scenario 161

The plot|| be humble by nature before karma does that to you.

The glossy life of Rodrick "Future Voys" Canet was on a different scale of finish. He was a sensational superstar of the moment in a global village sense. You mention F Voys and teens and twenties shout out in roars. Be it Americas, Aussie, Europe, Asia, Africa or Middle-East, the feeling is mutual across. The 26 year-old was living his dream.
F Voys was managed by a former music business teacher, Duke "the manager" Ferricks, who wasn't even his teacher to start with but liked him at first hook up. The manager got introduced to F Voys by Ted Beleche, a music promoter and sole studio engineer at Ted Sound. The relationship between Duke and F Voys brought good into the music scene. With enough studio practice, F Voys got sharp and afined for a good 15 months before a song of his could be ever listened to. Ted just knew the guy was the biznes but not sure if he was going to deliver or not.
Arrogant to his peers, F Voys has always seen himself as the better tide to draw from. His mates tolerated him instead of liking him. His star when starting to rise they were quick to point out his flaws to the prospective nemesis for scores to settle behind his back. It worked for a brief stint, but the steam train was too powered for their minor damage that it came to a break they themselves saw no return in their actions and cheered for him rather. Voys's parents were seeds of poor soil crops and him as a result a bad sprout seedling. He was lucky through his liking by Ted that he got to rub shoulders with the likes of Duke, his now manager. Duke was a connected conversationalist of note. He was that good to an extent of talking you into him belonging in your past he never existed in before. Great a deipnosophist, his charm made him relatable to a host of highly esteemed personages, and that a benefit for his commercial dependents in the form of F Voys, DaveeTrace, Lady Fangz and Pauly Pybe.
It was Pauly who germinated first and the last to blossom being F Voys. F Voys got his break through a grey jacket which was a gift from a firm believer in his star quality. To push them as a package, Duke tried for a collaboration but the hardest sell failed his plan by faking an illness to not be and they wrapped up sans his vocal layered. The ditty became a stroke of genius that but got short lived when all of a sudden Pauly got shot by a dealer in an altercation in a friend's apartment on his birthday eve and died 3 minutes before midnight to his 25th birthday. Him and the queen of the pack were close that it was revealed thereafter that they actually were romantically involved behind closed doors. He was buried and in time lost the spark as the star of exaltation was gradually shooting in the wake of media sensationalization of F Voys' grey jacket. It launched him into the lounge of heavy fee tags the influential were happy to dig out for. Lyrically he wasn't better than the late but screenwise a good sell. A huge back door turnoff was his stump that he was shy to strut to the handlers but was nonetheless in the good hands of makers for consolidation of his non-solid career.
He was on the books of many a high time rotational scent spreaders, but his lack of fully unconditional endorsement from the quorum of masters meant he was on his way to the career parking lot and his manager had no control over seeing that. It was sadly hard to break him open. He was fragile but him stepping on eggshell surface wasn't any stuff of his province in knowledge. Duke rode his smog wave and in clams ripping him apart. The dimes received were in recordal a stipend for build up of LadyFangz and Davee. All the time he was cocooned in his bubble to even see what his manager was doing with the stablemates of his. A 3rd born of 4 in his family, F's favorite was his younger sister than his brother and older sister. He would bring her goodies whenever he comes back home after performances.
Aged 27, Voys bought a penthouse in defy of his manager to buy something lower for his affordability, but nope, the young one did as he pleased. He invited his best friend and younger sister to join him in stay. It was a dream gem of a property to be in possible possession of at such an early age. The average age of those in stay there was at 38 to 40. Given his age and with freedom still pumping thoughts of wrong into mind, a neighbor of that age at a neighborhood of that stature was a no no but because he was never the type to listen to anyone he ended up being a nuisance to the neighbors. In the end he was forced to vacate and had the place rented out whilst him too had to rent elsewhere. Duke said he should take his family and stay with them there for his stability but still he did his own thing.
As time went on LadyFangz and Davee Trace weren't getting that much attention afforded F Voys. At some point Davee had a mind to leave but his family told him to hang in there as there's a plan for him and to soon see it. In two months time a big surprise was unveiled to him on a dream he never thought could be realized at that point in his career. There was a tour by a mega international artist and he adored him. Duke gave him a call to tell him to watch television from 6 p.m on that particular day. He asked what the reason was and Duke said it's nothing major but should he get the time to see it can call him and say what he thinks of it. He didn't watch and bang he was surprised by his mother's loud bang on his door to come and see something quick. Reluctantly he got out and found that it already passed and his niece said to him that he should take her with to the show, and he was perplexed. Still puzzled a call came in from LadyFangz stating how shocked she still was, only to be worried that Davee knew nothing as yet. She was over the moon about her inclusion in the crazy line-up.
Davee called Duke and Duke asked him how it felt but disappointed that Davee was still not in the know and said to him: "honestly it's disenchanting to try put a smile on someone and but be that they're not appreciative of your effort. Sometimes it's the reason I failed to do some things for you, but it's fine. Hope you'll enjoy your performance" and hung up on him signalling his disappointment in his behavior. He decided to switch his mobile data on and he met a whitewash of well wishing by his fans. He saw the poster and he was awash by it, he was part of a 9 leg tour for Bar Trenda, and he gets to perform in 6 of those shows. Davee's mom told him again that: "there's a plan bigger for you, you take your time and you're to be shocked" and he cried a river.
Bar Trenda is a top global Finnish artist, Dj, producer of trance dub, electro dance, tech house and a versatile lyricist. Davee Trace lost his marbles when he saw the ad on TV live with expression of his family and couldn't contain himself. He called his manager to thank him and apologized. LadyBangz and Davee Trace started trending though LadyBangz scored only 4 solo gigs but to perform in 1 more on a collaboration with Davee Trace's smash hit 'Be my buyer'. It was revealed before an interview with a magazine that they get to perform in all the shows as they both scored a feature in a remix of 'C'mon' by Bar Trenda. Davee couldn't handle it hearing that he'll get to spend full 4 days with Bar Trenda prior to the show and also on the day he rests after the tour before he flies out.
The build up to the tour was busy and for the first time in his career Davee felt he's loved, celebrated and recognized. F Voys had to respect the moment and took it easy as he got a whisper of something gigantic coming his way after that, and it had him support the two. The arrival of the tour boy filled the papers and screens splashed his image ceremoniously. All the shows were a sold out affair. He also did 2 private shows that he tagged Davee Trace along. On his last show Bar Trenda had a bite of LadyFangz's warm apple. Back to his native land he was posting about his joyful experience of his time in the US.

Life for the two tuned for the better and within a month both bought simple cars. They were still national and F Voys outer as he was international. A week later Voys signed a deal with Eex Global for the launch of their first ever global car as its test passenger in all territories they'll be launching their model. Eex was a long time producer of motorcars in USA and Canada. After a success of 2 decades it came to confidence in venturing out into the world, and the new model, Epeek was the most important model for the brand after the launch model, Regime. What Voys didn't see was that it was a dent to his career as he halted all future gigs for a swap as a passenger in a new car when it gets tested by journalists and public alike in all markets during its launch. It was a good 24 months deal that paid well. Voys was thrilled by that eventuality. The very minute he started with his campaign, Duke hit the giant pause button on his gigs in favour of both LadyFangz and Davee Trace's rise.
What everyone didn't know was that the deal came initially as a booster for Davee Trace but because Davee had been through his rites into the industry, then dug a trench for the mostly arrogant Voys. He knew it'll swipe a knock on one's lime and spot them no longer in after a while. He also shielded LadyFangz as she does her bit in blinding the rats when necessary though she'd never tell as she knows nothing as her brother pulls strings for her in the backgrounds silently all the time. Her brother was the maiden appeaser on her behalf and now the sole guillotine minder in taint void affairs. The danger though was the brother wasn't given the shine but bending for it on her behalf yet couldn't tell a sole, even her.
F Voys visited Europe, China, India, Africa, Middle-East and Australia during his deal. He performed during launch nights and the whole term was a thrill to him that he'll cherish forever. When it was over, coming back home he found that LadyFangz and Davee Trace were pretty much advanced and there was also a hot new 22 year old ladyboy comet into the stable pseudonymed "Tybot". He/she's name was Tameka Prisch, who hailed from Prescott in Arizona. His/her grandfather came to US as an exchange student from India who fell in love with the lifestyle and wanted a piece of the pie of the American dream. Tameka has never received any endorsement from his/her family except from the mother and bi-brother. Them's first 2 singles did no damage to the scene until the 3rd banger 'Gimme roll' which did damage to the status quo of the entertainment industry landscape. Duke had an asexual sensation of note. Tybot was touted as the most versatile artist of note as he could play almost any music instrument, sing on any beat, dance to any genre, produce almost any genre.
With pressure from a new born baby girl he sired with a South African model, F Voys hit the studio with new aid gadgets and fighting sleep. And when he asked Duke how come he didn't get to know about all the developments, he said to him: "as if you did care. How many calls did you make my way and how many calls did you reject your way from me? If you cared you would've tried contacting your fellow stablemates, but nope, coz you're the best thing that's ever happened to the world."
F Voys: "I was ever busy you know. This after that and those over that, never had a damn dime's worth of rest 'til now old dawg."
Duke: "okay, no rest I hear you say. And time with the ma'am?"
F Voys: "c'mon dawg, you killing my vibe now. Push that puff line to the pub please man. But she's the biznes dawg, gimme 5 straight 5s. Young blood represented or what?" (With a sly chuckle)
Duke: "listen here, there's someone outside whom would like to meet you. Are you game?"
F Voys: "who dat? Yeah, am on."
Duke: "he'll introduce himself and please try be nice to him. He's a broken accountant and but a very good friend of mine called Lerv Blitdiz, maybe you might recall him. I'll let him in and leave you to it. And please, do listen to him" (And he went outside to call him and left behind to make a conference call).
Lerv: "hi! Am Lerv. Hope you remember me."
F Voys: "nah, me not. You need a cologne dawg, a strong one."
Lerv: "I'm from..."
F Voys: "let's cut that, there's nothing to state as pleasantry about this whole peppered talk."
Lerv: "sorry my star, I haven't had a proper shower in weeks, something you won't wanna know about, but..."
F Voys: "why's that possible? Surely there're free places to do so but that's not important. What brings you to my palace dawg?"
Lerv: "to check on you and also for a huge favour from my star."
F Voys: "I knew it, another scammer on the line. What do you want from me? The huge favour!!"
Lerv: "Voys, can you allow me to bathe and borrow me this jacket?"
F Voys: "nah man, have to hit the studio and can't afford to leave a hob stranger in my space unguarded, and the jacket? Nope,,,that's one of my best and a significant part of my early career signature man, I can't."
Lerv: "what about this old flair grey one? Love it."
F Voys: "nope nope nope, that's sentiment in sentimental man. It's the biznes, some bloody accountant wannabe musician gave it to me some damn years ago. Nope. Can't do that my bloke. It's my lucky charm this one. The history behind, can't trade it for anything in the whole damn world, sorry dawg."
Lerv: "aren't you any curious why I chose to come to you?"
F Voys: "nope, why should I anyways? I'm the one important here and everyone wants a dream selfie with me or a piece of me or my possessions like you just did. Worry less, it bothers me not. Save it dawg."
Lerv: "thanks my star. That'll be all. Keep well and stay blessed." It was sad to him to learn how a bloody wannabe musician he was and here he was trying to get a boost from what he plowed in some 6 odd years ago. He just laughed and got out and had a small chat with Duke and went out. Some minutes later when Voys was about to hit the studio, Duke went to him and asked: "how was your chat with that fan of yours Voys?" And the cocky young one said: "it went lukewarm waste of my priced time forely, all these broke failures think we're charity case attendees and so I shot his request down."
Duke: "if only you knew." (With his head slowly shook)
Voys: "why? Why that? I turned him down gently, rest easy."
Duke: "that very broke man I told you was broken, how do I put it? Actually, if you were to remember the whole story of your important career launch grey jacket from some accountant supporter well, hope you catch my drill."
Voys: "huh! Mhm!"
Duke: "yes" and nodded.
Voys: "oh man, why didn't he say? Oh Gosh!"
(With eyes fixated at him) Duke said: "you know, a little bit of time with people an interestingly big a deal in the life of any person irrespective of who they are and where they are in their career lives. Never forget that. The very bloody accountant wannabe musician you say was, is sadly that very man whom in his prime bought you that jacket that caused a media frenzy to make you stand out because it was by a very expensive designer 'nooPaa' which was the one of one in the world. He did for you what your family couldn't for you all combined. And today because he's low, you turn him down gently? It's nice to be you I must say."
F Voys: "but he didn't mention any of that to me."
Duke: "how could he when you weren't interested in him and his wanting of your possessions? There's nothing I'm to say from now on cos it's futile."
F Voys: "so, is he crazy now or what?"
Duke: "crazy? Why crazy?"
F Voys: "for him to come to me not bathed and all that?"
Duke: "since when does dirt equate insanity? Tell you what, the more I keep listening to you I'll end up throwing up, so, I'll simply resign to holding my peace."
F Voys: "aight, fine by me."
Duke: "well,,can't say thanks but then good."
F Voys: "nah, me not. You need a cologne dawg, a strong one."
Lerv: "I'm from..."
F Voys: "let's cut that, there's nothing to state as pleasantry about this whole peppered talk."
Lerv: "sorry my star, I haven't had a proper shower in weeks, something you won't wanna know about, but..."
F Voys: "why's that possible? Surely there're free places to do so but that's not important. What brings you to my palace dawg?"
Lerv: "to check on you and also for a huge favour from my star."
F Voys: "I knew it, another scammer on the line. What do you want from me? The huge favour!!"
Lerv: "Voys, can you allow me to bathe and borrow me this jacket?"
F Voys: "nah man, have to hit the studio and can't afford to leave a hob stranger in my space unguarded, and the jacket? Nope,,,that's one of my best and a significant part of my early career signature man, I can't."
Lerv: "what about this old flair grey one? Love it."
F Voys: "nope nope nope, that's sentiment in sentimental man. It's the biznes, some bloody accountant wannabe musician gave it to me some damn years ago. Nope. Can't do that my bloke. It's my lucky charm this one. The history behind, can't trade it for anything in the whole damn world, sorry dawg."
Lerv: "aren't you any curious why I chose to come to you?"
F Voys: "nope, why should I anyways? I'm the one important here and everyone wants a dream selfie with me or a piece of me or my possessions like you just did. Worry less, it bothers me not. Save it dawg."
Lerv: "thanks my star. That'll be all. Keep well and stay blessed." It was sad to him to learn how a bloody wannabe musician he was and here he was trying to get a boost from what he plowed in some 6 odd years ago. He just laughed and got out and had a small chat with Duke and went out. Some minutes later when Voys was about to hit the studio, Duke went to him and asked: "how was your chat with that fan of yours Voys?"

F Voys: "aight, fine by me."
Duke: "well,,can't say thanks but then good."
From then Voys kept quiet after his pissed manager plugged his earbuds and listened to music not by him and opened the studio door for both of them, of which he showed him in and turned his back leaving him solo with his producer called Foenix and Ted, back to their car. That day Voys did nothing and both Ted and Foenix were amazed by his off mindedness. He was not there with them, the snub was eating at him. He was thinking how his hard start was totally transformed by that jacket as it became a talk of media and put his name out there, then his music later followed. It was by a selfless man whom he met only once late on a rainy day and never got to see his face properly as such 'til today met as a shadow of his former self. He just heard he used to pay for VIP tickets to his many shows yet asked never for a minute with him for a shine. F Voys thereafter went out to Duke and asked if he could take him to the accountant. Duke said: "it's too late, he left already. Either way, I gave him what he wasn't asking for but needed and he was so grateful that it made him see there wasn't any point in seeing you after all."
F Voys: "I feel like owing him something."
Duke: "but sadly, that's not the case, he was asking for a shield from you for his most important hearing tomorrow, but it's done now, worry not for your feeling bad, it wasn't part of his plan all together. He actually was seeking your shield but it's now fine you can relax."
F Voys: "a shield? I don't have that anyways."
Duke: "hence I say it's sorted. And for the record, know that for the most part of tomorrow I won't be in for your session."
F Voys: "where to? Leaving me all alone like that again?"
Duke: "you see? The self-centred F Voys about to throw tantrums again."
F Voys: "but honestly, I need you here by my side dawg!"
Duke: "remember that dawgs sometimes have lives outside of your cocoon. I'll be a shield for a friend of mine who needs me more than ever."
F Voys: "here we go again. What's that stupid shielding of yours by the way?"
Duke: "something you won't know to waste your valuable time and pompous self with." He got out the crew bus and went into his car and speedily drove off.

The following day Duke attended Lerv's big hearing, and his early pre-start appearance and a hug from him to Lerv drew a huge stir that made the panel get swayed in favour of him. The hearing took two days and by the time the verdict was to be taken, DaveeTrace walked in to be in the same row as Lerv and Duke. His late presence added to the show, and the panel together with the gallery bewent bubbly and the panelists wanted never to disappoint the stars. The accountant won the case and his ban was lifted and his assets unfreezed. The celebratory pic of the three made headlines more than the verdict and the misconduct case that he was tried for had. Seeing the pics online Voys called Duke who kept ignoring his calls that it drove him into despair. Thing is, F Voys is that type of a person who respects none and takes badly to ignorance of his efforts, and but this time it was different as it proved he was finding it difficult to be left out of the favourable frame of the moment that he could've basked into its shine for glory. Questions from fans to him about his absence during the most important time of his career launcher did worse to work him drained. Failing to field the questions, he resorted to going offline and drive to Duke's, where he was unlucky to find him not in. Trying numerous times to locate him he ended up going back home to sleep his sorrows away. He found it hard to sleep and by midnight drove back to Duke's residence and but this time found that it was locked and none responded to his beep on the intercom. He was in heavy spirit and couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was bound to happen from this behaviour yet hoping it not be. He got home and finally at around 4:20 a.m fell asleep after racy thoughts roamed his troubled head.

He was in heavy spirit and couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was bound to happen from this behaviour yet hoping it not be. He got home and finally at around 4:20 a.m fell asleep after racy thoughts roamed his troubled head.
In the morning they met and Duke said he didn't want any mood spoilers as such he chose to ignore him. "What if I wanted to be there too?" asked F Voys, but Duke said: "that late? For what? Limelight? And so you know, the very broken man I told you was low is back up and will be opening a chain of clubs not long which Davee will be a host of twice a month." It left Voys down and remarked: "if only you told me I was needed there and what that stupid shielding was all about." Duke looked at him with disgust and said: "truly, don't know what I keep doing with your big starded self. I believe time for me to flip the page is now and leave your bigness for someone smaller like Davee to focus on. Him, LadyFangz and Tybot can do better with a bit of time for them. "What are you actually trying to say Mr?" asked F Voys with tears filling his eye buckets. With a chuckle and a hug he said: "my day with you has seen a new horizon far afield your big ego and status that I small for them can't be fit in them. I can't handle your stardom anymore. All I'm trying to say is that I'm drawing a line with you and our contract is terminated as of now. You're now free to be as you once coughed it out that every next manager in the industry wants you on their menu. Good luck." F Voys asked if he was serious about abandoning him and Duke said: "101% sure, and but bear in mind that in this industry your shine wanes come daybreak" and F Voys brought no understanding to the party as usual except his cockiness. He said: "I'm still in my eve of my prime" and the smile from the now former manager drew a lot in the air for him to worry in his lonesome state. It was later that day released that F Voys was a newly free agent.
Duke received a 1000 calls just after that of queries for probing the reason why and what his next move was? It was clear that it was time for the trio to swim with the new sharks in different waters. To his surprise, a huge A-lister indie soloist, Norbertos "Grand Performer/GP" Kahli, gave him a call to request for an appointment with him about his future on his career. Duke told him to come over anytime he's can and he said he'd be there right away. In an hour he was there hooting. He told none about it and as such they met at his home office. The chat was interesting to say the least. After pleasantries, the conversation went direct and deeper into the bone. Duke asked: "what actually brought you here?"
GP: "growth. I want to work with Tybot."
Duke: "straight to the point, I like that."
GP: "I don't know if Ty will like me but for me would be a thrill to ride his beats."
Duke: "let me call him now and put him on speaker" and called him.
Tybot: "my boss."
Duke: "Tybot how you doing? I have someone on line with me now who'd love to say something to you."
Tybot: "ohkay, who's that?"
GP: "hi Ty! It's me, GP."
Tybot: "hold on, wait a sec,,,am I hearing your self correctly? The all famous GP?"
GP: "yes it's true. And I'd like to work with you just after signing with DFerr. Your yes would mean the world to me my dear friend."
Duke: "owh!"
Tybot: "stressless, I'm in. What do you think boss?"
GP: "he's nodding, it's settled then. Let's do magic then."
Tybot: "you sure you wanna do GPSing with us at DFerr?"
GP: "and that's it! Our first single, GPSd."
Duke: "well, I like it. Got that catchy in-your-ear-before ring."
Tybot: "tell your world to ready selves for GPSd."
Duke: "okay, bye for now."
GP: "catch you later my friend." (And Ty hung up)
Duke: "that was smooth."
GP: "where do I sign?"
Duke: "wait! Who sent you to DFerr Mngmnt? Who's your manager and where is he?"
GP: "my manager passed away 4 months ago."
Duke: "you mean Henney Surrey?"
GP: "yes, that's him. Used to say a lot of good about you."
Duke: "a gentle industry's soul."
GP: "and a great master at that."
Duke: "damn, so, you mean you have your mark?"
GP: (pointed to his nape) "mhm, satis?"
Duke: "and your chorus of life?"
GP: "soul nations proder."
Duke: "done. In ink we shall pact, and in stifzels we shall trance the rising souls. The shine shall be blanketed on Fangz, Trace, Bot plus Performer, I close."

GP: "the verbs and nouns ground is rich and fertile in vibras to ty the bot vibes around. Glad it linked with a nourished creative cap."
Duke: "you're well supremed, the apex of DFerr I now declare. The 7x7 of my trinite."
GP: "I'm honoured master."
Duke: "it's done, in soul it's inked and it forever shall be. Let's reverb the digital and color the rainbows grand. GPSd."
They shook hands on it and GP was off to the studio to meet up with Ted, Foenix and Tybot. They were all awed by the developments and thereafter called Davee, Fangz and admin staff to be introduced formally.
The announcement left the industry short of breath and in days GPSd hit the eStores. A good 3 weeks later the follow up single featuring LadyFangz and Davee Trace jumped onto the hitwagon and DFerr was the island to visit and tour. But as per the brand philosophy of DFerr, the smaller the clique the best shine to bask in glory of, as such they signed none new in spite of demos piling up. The power of DFerr cut deep into dominance while the days of mainstay wane were a permanent resident in the career life of F Voys. He couldn't believe what he was gradually turning into, a hobo. One afternoon while taking a walk and passing by the filling station, he noticed Lerv and looked away quickly not having noticed that he had already seen him. Lerv hooted at him and called him by hand to come to him and he went. Shy to even look him in the eye, Lerv told him to get into the car. They drove to his club. He made him choose any poison he wanted to taste. Still on the tip of my star, he asked him how he was doing and the then arrogant one just went straight into it and apologized for his utterances and behaviour that day he met him. Lerv assured him it's all in the past and asked him what he'd like for him to be of service for him and F Voys asked if it's possible he could rectify his wrong with Duke on his behalf. He burst into flames of flow and Lerv closed the curtain on their pvt zone.
He explained to him how he lost everything after his life outside DFerr as none wanted anything to do with him. The bank repossessed his cars and house and was back at home. No gigs are in as he stood. He was by then so humble that he was dropping sorry and thank you in almost every sentence. He was apologetic in tone and behavior. Lerv did something on the spot for him, he made a call to Ted and spoke with him on behalf of Voys. When put on speaker he said this to Voys: "hope you see that this man is your guardian angel and there to relaunch you, and should you be what you've been first time then we won't listen to him amore and also will cut him out of our circle for good. Hope you heard. It's fine, and where on earth have you been doing you?"
F Voys: "at home, performing for meals."
Ted: "you saw what blacklisting does and what it is first-hand. So, go prep yourself and tell us when you're ready."
F Voys: "it's right now. I'm ready like now, I can come, please."
Ted: "you see now, then springs the old F into the spirit. I don't want today or now, and I don't want you tomorrow either. Go ahead rather and recollect your calling connection first, and ring it into your path again and then you'll know whom you'll be recognized as. But as for now, go prep yourself before your second intro to the world."
Lerv: "loud and clear I see he's full. I'll go back with him and help reintroduce him to the world."
F Voys: "sorry for stepping out of zone, and thank you once again for the opportunity and time you gave up to talk to me."
Ted: "there you go back again. I have no business of attending to you. I answered the call from Lerv whom you happened to be in proximity of, I otherwise wouldn't be talking to you. It shows you aren't ready, you just say so because of desperation. Nothing is ever about you here, it's for your probable cause to your relaunch with the help of Lerv, whom you again want to skip to the front. I do this only because of him not you, remember that over and over again. Now back to your saddle and idle until the pony says it's enough."
Duke: "you're well supremed, the apex of DFerr I now declare. The 7x7 of my trinite."
GP: "I'm honoured master."
Duke: "it's done, in soul it's inked and it forever shall be. Let's reverb the digital and color the rainbows grand. GPSd."

F Voys: "sorry and thank you."
Lerv: "I'll revert to you with his campaign and report on him if it pleases the house."
Ted: "no problem my king. Keep well."
Lerv: "thanks and stay blessed."
Ted: "amen, will be my kingship." (And he dropped)
Lerv took him to his home, versed him for the first time to his family and were so delighted that Voys sobbed. When asked why he did that, said he never thought there're still people out there who valued him the way the Blitdiz family did. It was really humbling to him. He bathed and had a feast fit for a star he was in that household. He spent the night going through a lot in his mind alone in a very open bedroom that span miles of cock tiles afloored. He went back to his old self mentally and physically hated his currency. In the morning he was awakened by a knock and a breakfast in bed. He was in a foreign fantasy land yet in reality there in the flesh. The remote bed could change position and the drop down TV can swivel 360 to his ideal position. The lights are controlled by a device that you instruct either by voice command or via manual menu selection. It jogged his spirit and couldn't hold self back when telling Lerv about his plans when he hit the limelight again. He lost his yesterday's personality and dived into his character. He talked about how he'd order champagnes and cigars at Lerv's joint and show the haters how he's back. It was after a while with Lerv's quietness that he came back and realized how much he messed up. Lerv told him how far off from help he was and him taking him to his home an exercise to simply give him a jog of his memory and a reason to fight back, not plans for gloat. He took him home and told him to ring him for progress. F Voys begged him to never share that with Ted and to also take him back, and that he's willing to do anything for trade to access that bedroom again. He looked at him and said: "like I said, you'll ring me when you are ready. My worry is your quick creep out of your behavior, makes me see why Ted was like that to you. Wow yourself first with your progress and get back to me. Bye for now."
F Voys: "please, I'd do anything, please."
Lerv: "okay. Go organize yourself and I'll come over later to collect you."
F Voys: "that's good enough for me, thanks."
Lerv: "good. Later then." And Lerv left him behind to come back later to fetch him.
Lerv didn't go back that evening and went the next day during lunch. Voys didn't do anything to jeopardize his chances. Lerv was all the time observing him. They had a late lunch together at his office and the staff there welcomed him with warmth. He was overwhelmed by that reception. It was slowly coming back to him that he was still recognizable and to only learn how to relate with people. Lerv asked him what he'd learned from his family and the staff when on their way home. He caught a deep breath and said: "nothing's as beautiful as humility."
Lerv: "was that your only lesson?"
F Voys: "I didn't want to spoil it, but that I am still recognizable. Sorry if I'm being too forward."
Lerv: "too forward for what? It's the truth. You just need to repress your cut and get your own nature, that's all, and shine will come back."
F Voys: "how do I do that?"
Lerv: "just spend some time with yourself and you're to see how much you lose and gain for self."
F Voys: "I don't understand."
Lerv: "learn to grow your inner self before the outer self because what we see on the outside a projection of what's inside."
F Voys: "something like the beautiful part of a person is within!"
Lerv: "yes, like that. Let's go in."
F Voys: "thanks for the opportunity again."
Lerv: "no need to mention, it'll play itself out if true."
Lerv stayed with Voys for 5 weeks and was sure by then that he was ready and rediscovered his purpose. He called Ted to assess him and conditionally promised to take him in on a deal memo basis if rehabbed. By then DFerr was doing big globally. Except for LadyFangz, all the artists were on high rotation mode. The reason was for Ted and Duke's own selfish interests, hence they were relaxed on LadyFangz, the softly prodable fellahbomb offering in store for them.
Lerv: "I'll revert to you with his campaign and report on him if it pleases the house."
Ted: "no problem my king. Keep well."
Lerv: "thanks and stay blessed."
Ted: "amen, will be my kingship." (And he dropped)
Lerv took him to his home, versed him for the first time to his family and were so delighted that Voys sobbed. When asked why he did that, said he never thought there're still people out there who valued him the way the Blitdiz family did. It was really humbling to him. He bathed and had a feast fit for a star he was in that household. He spent the night going through a lot in his mind alone in a very open bedroom that span miles of cock tiles afloored. He went back to his old self mentally and physically hated his currency. In the morning he was awakened by a knock and a breakfast in bed. He was in a foreign fantasy land yet in reality there in the flesh. The remote bed could change position and the drop down TV can swivel 360 to his ideal position. The lights are controlled by a device that you instruct either by voice command or via manual menu selection. It jogged his spirit and couldn't hold self back when telling Lerv about his plans when he hit the limelight again. He lost his yesterday's personality and dived into his character. He talked about how he'd order champagnes and cigars at Lerv's joint and show the haters how he's back. It was after a while with Lerv's quietness that he came back and realized how much he messed up. Lerv told him how far off from help he was and him taking him to his home an exercise to simply give him a jog of his memory and a reason to fight back, not plans for gloat. He took him home and told him to ring him for progress. F Voys begged him to never share that with Ted and to also take him back, and that he's willing to do anything for trade to access that bedroom again. He looked at him and said: "like I said, you'll ring me when you are ready. My worry is your quick creep out of your behavior, makes me see why Ted was like that to you. Wow yourself first with your progress and get back to me. Bye for now."
F Voys: "please, I'd do anything, please."
Lerv: "okay. Go organize yourself and I'll come over later to collect you."
F Voys: "that's good enough for me, thanks."
Lerv: "good. Later then." And Lerv left him behind to come back later to fetch him.
Lerv didn't go back that evening and went the next day during lunch. Voys didn't do anything to jeopardize his chances. Lerv was all the time observing him. They had a late lunch together at his office and the staff there welcomed him with warmth. He was overwhelmed by that reception. It was slowly coming back to him that he was still recognizable and to only learn how to relate with people. Lerv asked him what he'd learned from his family and the staff when on their way home. He caught a deep breath and said: "nothing's as beautiful as humility."
Lerv: "was that your only lesson?"
F Voys: "I didn't want to spoil it, but that I am still recognizable. Sorry if I'm being too forward."
Lerv: "too forward for what? It's the truth. You just need to repress your cut and get your own nature, that's all, and shine will come back."
F Voys: "how do I do that?"
Lerv: "just spend some time with yourself and you're to see how much you lose and gain for self."
F Voys: "I don't understand."
Lerv: "learn to grow your inner self before the outer self because what we see on the outside a projection of what's inside."
F Voys: "something like the beautiful part of a person is within!"

Except for LadyFangz, all the artists were on high rotation mode. The reason was for Ted and Duke's own selfish interests, hence they were relaxed on LadyFangz, the softly prodable fellahbomb offering in store for them.
Lerv did a pass at the mall with F Voys and bought him another jacket which is of a self repairing fabric. He was into readying him for relaunch. When F Voys saw the price tag he froze, and worse was when Lerv introduced him to the big chain fashion boutique owner, the ever radiant Abadwel Akalh Ahsidam of Abadwel Outfitters. It was a good feeling for the artist to feel that great especially when he took them out for a lavish lunch to celebrate F Voys, and to later drive him home alone and dropped in at his music label manager friend who said a bucket full of stuff to them about the industry as a whole. Later at home still recovering from Abadwel's friend, Lerv asked him about his new move once he gets signed again, and he said: "my wish is to reclaim my stardom and cut all the bad off, start with people like you in my corner, and my life will turn out better." Lerv took him to Ted for his take on him before Duke met with him for any engagement. When approaching Ted Lerv remarked: "a tacit thornless rose I now give to you. I believe you'd like what he'd turned out to be. Hope you like him like I do now."
Ted: "it'll only depend upon his strides, but tacit I'm worried about, we need him to express himself."
Lerv: "true that. In this wake I took my day in time on him and I assure you that you never will know to regret it should you resolve to signing him again I tell you."
Ted: "so, Voys, you sure you wanna do us again?"
F Voys: "yeah Sir I am dead sure it's time. I've learned from my wrong turns and I do now know better."
Ted: "I heard that you made a car deal with Eex for an Epeek after the tour sans us getting involved cos you were bigger than useless us then. Where's the swanky hatchback? How does it drive though?"
Lerv: "please forgive that"
F Voys: "I sold it out of pressure Sir, and I'm sorry for what I did."
Ted: "thing is, I never liked your ways with words and action, and hopefully this time around it won't be the same as we're to sign with you a deal memo with 4 singles to gauge your relationship with us to then an albums deal if behave satisfactorily."
Lerv: "I don't know what you actually mean but it sure make perfect sense to me and I thank you."
Ted: "I confess,,it does seem you did more than we imagined, but it's left to him to uphold his promise. Thanks my friend."
Lerv: "now I'll leave you to it. Later Voys."
F Voys: "later uncle, thank you."
Lerv: "okay, stay blessed." (And out he got)
F Voys: "thanks for the opportunity again, I won't mess up again, I promise."
Ted: "so, you think you're ready for the fame strap-on? The style today is of self to the saddle unaided, unlike before."
F Voys: "I met up with one executive from the industry and he said quite a mouthful about the industry and its secrets to big time success. Will you do same for me?"
Ted: "it's actually more done with you than it's told for you. And but, did he get to serve you full montage?"
F Voys: "I believe he did."
Ted: "why did he tell you? And who's he?"
F Voys: "he is Edrin Plowdz. Know him?"
Ted: "yeah I do very well, though by stories of how it should've been with him but sadly hadn't because of his anti fame evince he prosed during his stunt. In here it's about stints, and he instead flashed a taint option. Never met him cos of that that's why. How's he though?"
F Voys: "can't really tell as I met him only once, and it was only yesterday."
Ted: "okay, I hear you. So, you want to be in the ring?"
F Voys: "yes, with all my heart cos I want to make it work."
Ted: "hahaha, sadly it won't work. Are you aware that you're disrespectful to me?"
F Voys: "no I'm not! Listen to my tone please."
Ted: "you know, ever since Lerv left us you ceased addressing me as Sir, and that is a clear indication of more still to come. I therefore feel you aren't ready if you're still respecting per personage and not commonly. As such, I can't take you back as yet."
F Voys: "is that your final decision Sir?"
Ted: "yes it is unfortunately."
F Voys: "is
Ted: "it'll only depend upon his strides, but tacit I'm worried about, we need him to express himself."
Lerv: "true that. In this wake I took my day in time on him and I assure you that you never will know to regret it should you resolve to signing him again I tell you."

F Voys: "is that your final decision Sir?"
Ted: "yes it is unfortunately."
F Voys: "is
there a way I can appeal that decision if you may allow Sir?"
Ted: "yes there is. I can right away call Foenix and hear what he's got to say?"
F Voys: "nope, he's just a producer. I want to hear from Duke."
Ted: "be my guest. Oh, by the by, we can call him too as of now and get this done with quickest."
F Voys: "yes the better before you influence him." (As Ted dial Duke who picked it up within two rings and put on speaker)
Duke: "hey Ted, what's up?"
Ted: "I'm with the prodigal and he's got something to say to you."
Duke: "who? F? Don't even bother my friend, I'm over that piece of work."
Ted: "but please hear him out this once."
Duke: "alright, it better be good."
F Voys jumped in unceremoniously: "Sir, how're you?"
Duke: "oh, that's unlike the F I know. Are you Rodrick Canet?"
F Voys: "yes Sir, in your ear. Best believe it."
Duke: "so, what's on your menu?"
F Voys: "I am surprised that Ted is saying he's not taking me back into DFerr."
Duke: "why's that F?"
F Voys: "says I don't respect him enough cos I failed to address him as Sir."
Duke: "is that his only reason?"
F Voys: "yes it is."
Duke: "did you speak to Foenix first about this?"
F Voys: "I didn't know that I should talk to him first, I mean why should I though? A producer?"
Duke: "him and Ted are the ones who push to sign you in partnership with their friend Abadwel to DFerr, cos I don't want you back." (Turning back to Ted, F Voys shed a tear of regret)
Ted: "sadly I'm not worth his respect, and now this boomerang."
Duke: "see, he's never gonna change. Why not talked to Foenix and you without me in it? Voys, you ain't ready unfortunately."
F Voys: "if only they give me this chance I'll do better. Sorry to you all Sirs."
Duke: "at least dawg has fallen off your chips, something positive I think. Ted, it remains still your call like I iterated before. Talk later when you're done."
Ted: "no stress..."
F Voys: "please talk to him please Sir, I'd do anything whatever for this opportunity please." (Despite that plea Duke dropped the call)
F Voys: "so sorry Sir, I never meant to disrespect you. I take back everything I said."
Ted: "you know Voys, life and fortune when met in opportune calls never the other as small or less important as they co-exist in each's spheres, so, in this case a very different dimension that calls out for a sole trade port which is named 'NO' and I too leave it as is unfortunately. I can't take you in. How much is your taxi fare back home?"
F Voys: "oh please, what's there I can do to rectify this? What's to become of me if not what you were to make of me? Think about it, I beg you,,,Please."
Ted: "worry not. Why not try Edrin?"
F Voys: "I'll return to Lerv and explain it all and maybe there'll be a way out."
Ted: "at least there's a way out plan for you. Good luck."
F Voys: "sorry again." And he turned and walked away glancing back to read Ted's reaction but nothing, which haunted him rather.

That very evening after narrating the whole story to Lerv, he was told to pack and go back home. Lerv couldn't do zilch amore as it was up to F Voys to drive it to his destiny but his tendencies cost him yet again and not seeming to own up to his flops. Lerv called Ted and Duke for a conference call and found that there's absolutely nothing wrong with their decision and as such him too wasn't wrong showing him the door. With none to turn to for lean, Voys pleaded with him to give him the numbers of Abadwel and Lerv gave him. In no time the taxi was outside for him. He called Abadwel and found him still at work at around 8 p.m on a Wednesday night. He asked if there can be any chance that they meet and he gave him his directions for Abadwel's driver to go pick him up. F Voys waited for just an hour and by 9:22 they were on their way out to a hotel where Abadwel had a client waiting for measurements of her outfit. At the hotel they found that she was with her husband who happened to be attracted to the same gender, and was into F Voys. The husband was allover the space. At first Abadwel's client didn't mind him but after realized he was too much she addressed him immediately. By then she was already late as he had gotten the numbers from Abadwel santy. After they left, his wife scolded him to in future not behave like that again in the presence of important faces. By midnight the husband called F Voys to set a lunch appointment with him the following day.
Ted: "yes there is. I can right away call Foenix and hear what he's got to say?"
F Voys: "nope, he's just a producer. I want to hear from Duke."

After they left, his wife scolded him to in future not behave like that again in the presence of important faces. By midnight the husband called F Voys to set a lunch appointment with him the following day.
Voys slept at Abadwel's in a star shaped bed in a rounded garret. The following day Abadwel left him alone and by midday F met up with Abadwel's client's husband. Being broke delivered F to a state of agreeing to a session with the husband. They had no place to go to and Voys decided to voice out the space he knows was available, which was at the 4 floors penthouse. They headed to Abadwel's and had a good time together. As it was a first time for Voys, it wasn't that enjoyable to say. He had to put on a brave face and work the shift so he could earn, of which he did. And by the time they were about to get out, Abadwel was arriving back from work to check on his visitor only to find him with the client's husband and still half dressed. He acted cool and let them go out. When Voys came back he found his duffel bag and suitcase at the foyer ready for home take. And for Voys witnessing how cool Abadwel remained when he found them, thought maybe was because he subscribed to that and finding his luggage there to him came as a move by the big guy to twist his arm for a session with him, and he went into his bedroom bare to offer himself to him. He found him in a trunk and went straight at it only to receive a hot clap from him.
Abadwel told him to go wear and ready himself to go home. Within minutes the taxi was outside, a repeat episode for him. He failed negotiating his extended stay and got into the taxi. He went to the man whom he met once and talked about the entertainment industry, Edrin. He got lost and but after some thoughts recollection it came back to him and he knocked at his door. He found that he wasn't yet home. His daughter called him and he got home by the speed of light after hearing he's got a celebrity guest at home. Edrin found it to be F Voys and asked him what brought him to his home. After hearing he had nowhere to go and that he's relying on him to take him back into the limelight, Edrin literally showed him the door. With no money for the taxi, Edrin paid for it and he went to his long lost friend. He stayed with him for a period of a week and he then saw it as an opportunity to cash in as people started frequenting his room due to F Voys. He started charging people to come to his room to see F Voys. The gimmick lasted for 3 and a half weeks, and the frenzy attracted small time local media and Voys scored a $150 paid interview. The demeaning article got published the day after and was so badly constructed that it drove him nuts. The very same day the social media space swelled up with his sad story as "now vs then" pics populated the screens. In the evening he was talked about in a magazine show and what he hoped for became a case of shouldn't have done it to start with, but was late.
People flooded their room to come witness for themselves how bad in shape he was and it was humiliating indeed. He negotiated for a cut from money made of him but the friend said he had to pay for his hospitality. Not long a local bar owner came to offer him a job and he started on the same day. He was in hell. He was teased by the patrons and worse was the fact that majority of those patrons were his target market, the young ones, yet his worst nightmare. He enjoyed nothing for the first 3 days and on the lunch eve of his fourth day he quit. The owner paid him for the week though to show his appreciation. Shame was surrounding him and he was feeling its weight around him. The pressure of where he was, to go back at his friend's against back at work again over going back home riddled him. He lastly settled on finally going back home. He got to the room and worn his best clothes after shower, rocking his relaunch self-repairing fabric jacket and said his byes.
He got home only to find it to let. He left his bags at a neighbour and went to the park. He had no fone as he got it pawned for food at his friend's. He thought of the easy money he made through the session with Abadwel's client's husband, and because he knew everything about him he went to him and they hit the moon again at noon and he got connected to other after 9s to cash in on. He became popular so quick that with his winning looks, the small high paying underbellied industry became so lucrative for him that he even forgot whom he was. He was lost to his vision and purpose, and one day came face to face with the worst, a fresh out of jail bullying duo that damaged him and left him scarred emotionally and wrecked physically, and took a taxi back home. In the taxi the driver told him not to worry about the fare as he can repay him by favor. Asking him why, the driver told him it's a known public secret that he's a male adult entertainment provider. The driver's voice and words made rounds at racing speed that regret filled his spirit same time and opened the door of the moving taxi and dived out. Unfortunately, there was a tow truck that was on-coming and ran him over. He was declared dead on the scene.
Before F Voys's family could be informed of the tragic loss of their loved one, social media space was crowned with the honors for breaking it first. The bad news became uncomfortably out of hand for anyone to handle. The driver was the main source of spread followed by the lady following the tow truck after witnessing the horrible incident. By the time his family got to the scene the pics were already painted in over two hundred thousand statuses shared. "Fame a curse at times they say, and it's at times like this that you start realizing the trueness of this skewed social mass communication tools we have at our disposal" said the journalist who was shocked to learn of the breaking news that came ahead of the family's knowledge or consent for their publishing about their loved one. The Canet family's pain was unimaginable. For his parents to have lost a child and only get to hear about it through social media before even the police could know. Voys's friend couldn't believe it.
For those who were still not sure if it was true, a family statement was issued after two hours of the incident to confirm the rumours. He hadn't done much for his family given their home. They had no car as they were repossessed after his fall out with the recording industry. His younger sister was devastated more than anyone else in their family. The week was hectic and a packed DFerr SendOff event was organized to raise funds quick for his dignified funeral. A memorial service was organized by his family but sadly per family's order Duke wasn't put on the programme as they felt he destroyed Rodrick. To stage a disapproval of the family's move, the industry players left in droves and so did most of the fans with disappointment after such a successful event organized in just two days and had $984K raised. F Voys was what he was because of Duke, Ted and Foenix, but his family thought otherwise. The same was the case with the burial and the duo chose to be away as requested.
A week later DFerr organized a month long tour in honour of F Voys, and had a big gig every second day in each state. It hurt the family for their decision to push away Duke and Ted, more so after it was rumoured that DFerr made a goal frying $112mln in a month and the family's not entitled to not even a cent from those proceeds. The Canet's didn't know how to approach Ted, and worse was Duke. Voys had a distant cousin who liked Ted called Devin Johnson, who requested a meeting with both Ted and Duke. They met and listened to him and agreed on doing something for the Canet family after his apologies on behalf of the family, though Duke bought half into it and went in just to support Ted. Devin was later tasked with coming up with an idea to keep the memory of F Voys alive. Duke titled it as "F Voys: the activ legacy". Devin said he was thinking of a unisex apparel line as F Voys loved new clothes and he got the go ahead same time from both sides. When they met again the goalposts were name shifted and "F Voys: the DFerr'd legacy" was shoved to him and had no choice but left to say yes.
Devin became the ambassador for the apparel brand while F's younger sister as a rep for the brand on their family front. It started off as an outside project that saw no traction until with advice from Devin that F's mother go by herself to meet with both Ted and Duke for a one on one and unreservedly apologize for them to have full endorsement of the brand as it wasn't as planned sales wise due to its failure to penetrate on its own. F's mother had no other choice except doing so though was hard for her to. The meeting was too short as it was tense. Ted tried but Duke was straight to the point from the word go and smiled not even once which was unsettling to the mother. And then in the end there was a compro-truce. One big interestingly surprising question that F's mother had before getting out to Duke was: "what's the most important advise have you given to Rodrick?"
Duke: "when you are in the market for talent, the golden age rule in talent acquisition is buy into synergy, if you don't find it, move on!"
F's mother: "and what was his response to that?"
Duke: "nothing,,,nothing in particular. He just nodded and chuckled."
F's mother: "he had a good advisor in you, sadly it doesn't work out for most of the times. Thanks. And you Mr? Best advice to him?"
Ted: "no matter how stupid you may be in your head, don't let it out loud but through your heart, and the recipient would pick up on your energy and rectify."
F's mother: "I once had him say that to me. Thanks for hearing it again." (With a tear downing and Ted hugging her) Duke understood quickly what's been played by the woman and bowed out. Ted later bid her farewell and she was off.
Ted went out to be busy with what he's good at before Devin came in to find him in a chat with GP and Tybot. Upon his casual entrance he froze with disbelief, the big personages double in one room was just too much of him to handle, he was awestruck. Ted helped him recollect himself and joined in on the big convo they were having. The two highly talented and artily grounded celebrities were truly different from how F Voys was to them as family and people out there as compared to how natural they were to him. He blended in swiftly. They were in a session about helping out. Devin was so attentively put and asked a good question when told to ask if having any. He asked: "what if I'm asked for help in public? How should I deal with the bad publicity should I refuse to?"
Ted: "remember to remind the person that everybody's entitled to protection of their money, and so are you. It's your right to protect what's yours and if helping them is not fruitful for you then so be it."
GP: "it's easy to say if you're not in prime like we are today."
Devin: "that's so true."
Ted: "kindness will never feed you, but can lead you to good users of the good doers."
Tybot: "absolutely true. I know how good people users are. I get you Sir."
GP: "every known face knows that."
Devin: "should I prepare for such?"
GP: "mind you, we'll be with you most of the times you're out there as we're told. It requires your readiness."
Ted: "I have to stop the time here until next time, famous soles. Don't forget your interview with Fame Magazine."
Devin: "mmh, that's wonderful, hoping for myself one day. What's it about?"
GP: "my recent juuso hiking in Japan's two most famous mountains. You'll read about it not long."
Devin: "I guess girls were allover you!"
GP: "girls huh? In this industry, you won't last if it's for those. Lemme go get ready."
Devin: "sorry man, I was just foolish."
Ted: "he's got no parents, all siblings rely on him for support. With him there's no time for play."
Devin: "yoh! That's hectic, the guy has no life hey! No wonder he's too serious."
Tybot: "let me exit before I too turn into a subject of ridicule. Til next time."
Ted: "alright Ty."
Devin: "what have we done now?"
Ted: "you won't get it. If only you knew the law of observation you were to know."
Devin: "I don't get it. What's that law?"
Duke: "when you are in the market for talent, the golden age rule in talent acquisition is buy into synergy, if you don't find it, move on!"
F's mother: "and what was his response to that?"
Duke: "nothing,,,nothing in particular. He just nodded and chuckled."
F's mother: "he had a good advisor in you, sadly it doesn't work out for most of the times. Thanks. And you Mr? Best advice to him?"
Ted: "no matter how stupid you may be in your head, don't let it out loud but through your heart, and the recipient would pick up on your energy and rectify."

Devin: "I don't get it. What's that law?"
Ted: "if only you were signed with us, pity you aren't."
Devin: "so, I won't get it? What does that then mean?"
Ted: "simply put, your gelling with them is off the books once Ty tells him what type we are."
Devin: "but that actually mean my type."
Ted: "naturally yes."
Devin: "I'm sorry for what transpired, I'm not that type of a person the law discourage against. Didn't mean for it to be that way. I regret."
Ted: "it's no problem. They'll still work with you but won't be cordial with you."
Devin: "in this industry it's easy to gain and lose friends just like that huh?"
Ted: "yes, but then, what's important is the lessons you draw from your losses in relations."
Devin: "I hear you."
Ted: "now have to be something to some people somewhere. See you around."
Devin: "so, what's there to do for one to be in the stable?"
Ted: "with you already a taint, it's harder than then you weren't. Forget about it for you ain't the material already."
Devin: "I don't understand."
Ted: "a few minutes ago you entered into the space spotless and now you exit with filth allover you. But worry not and make peace with that. Good luck and good bye."
Devin: "okay, thanks."
Leaving Ted, Devin went straight to Duke for a better explanation. He found him on his way out and he asked for a minute. It was explosively exploratory. He asked Duke what the law of observation is, and he said to him: "why ask? Which code are you referring to?"
Devin: "I don't know. I just got told about that a minute ago by Ted."
Duke: "what wrong have you done? He wouldn't have said a thing about it."
Devin: "I don't know, hence I'm here."
Duke: "okay, what happened?"
Devin: "he said I'm a taint"
Duke: "your failure to penetrate your own shield a pretty ugly position that you'll remain in for the longest of hauls. Cease caging blame in grey vaults, there's none who bathe off faults there, so, go ahead and let go of shame and you're to learn how to omnishower for your sketchy taint cleanse. Don't flip the switch instead of a simpler toss."
Devin: "now I'm lost worse."
Duke: "I know. This to a clever one a clear message that's to a wise one a code to decipher. In here it's hard to never go wrong than it's out there, easy to go never wrong. In here straits are imaginary lakes whilst where you're planted wells run on alerts of dry out."
Devin: "thanks, I get you."
Duke: "see you around."
Devin left right on the spot and looked back not even once as he didn't know what to make of it, wishing he hadn't gone to him because he knew from then Duke categorized his type than classed him. How foul the move was will play out next time they meet.
Later Ted checked on Duke. The chat was about events of their day of which led to the highlights of the day, with the main one being that of F's mother and why did Duke choose to walk out. Ted asked: "I'm certainly sure there's more to your exit."
Duke: "there was a bad move by her that I know you know and it bored me."
Ted: "I'm sorry, a lot to read out of her."
Duke: "okay, my worse was praising your question to poke at my ego. Your face at her remark over your words worthless."
Ted: "oh,,that, that's because I made that up and she lied about hearing them afore from F, haha."
Duke: "that tells you what kinda upbringing that boy received. Shame on her."
Ted: "you take her serious, c'mon!"
Duke: "I don't wanna deal ever with her as she's clear about it. Also, Devin said you accused him of being a taint, what's on?"
Ted: "yaah,,that one, heyy. He threw away his chocolate entry into the duo's nest. He came with raw peanuts to the gathering of less note to get the grind recipe out of the percolators, and the presser went afoot on it."
Duke: "damn!! GP was okay I guess."
Ted: "he was already out and the presser went into GP's territory on Ty's watch and not descended the hill well."
Duke: "and then?"
Ted: "he staged a shield protest and left the roll in progress for its own stuck."
Duke: "he's a taint, they'll deftly never share their scents
Devin: "so, I won't get it? What does that then mean?"
Ted: "simply put, your gelling with them is off the books once Ty tells him what type we are."

for his bravura obviously."
Ted: "my exact worry."
Duke: "no water spilled on our side mind you, he's with F's not us, no damage at all my friend."
Ted: "yeah, guess that's right. Almost forgot."
Duke: "let's kick it to position and let the boys play it their feelings out."
Ted: "okay, settled then."
Duke: "thanks. What's next on your riot agenda?"
Ted: "h to the o and m-e."
Duke: "see you tomorrow then."
As days went by the F Voys apparel got a lift as DFerr started saying this and that about it here and there, and fans raced to the shelves to grab something of it. In a quarter it moved volumes, second quarter was higher and so went the trend and worse was when it hit international community. F's mother thanked Devin for pursuing her to meet up with Ted and Duke though Devin wasn't glad as happied because his ideal promo mates weren't available for F's legacy campaign as then promised, and was endorsed by Davee and Fangz the most. They did that project for a year and handed over all ropes to F's family as Devin was now a familiar face and ready to carry it through. DFerr continued to grow from strength to strength with a string of record breaks. Lerv's business too thrived and ended up employing Edrin as his club chain manager after his label got bought out by DFerr...dp
Q: what did you learn from this scenario? Would you shield a broken person? Was F Voys's suicide move justified? What are you thinking of a taint?

He found his mother, Teresa, at the front porch of the house and asked if it were possible for him to see Renny, and she said to him: "please follow me to his room." She knocked and as usual didn't want to wake up. She said to him that he's got a visitor but instead responded by asking whom it was so early, and that he can come if she's being real. Edwin thanked Mrs Hyndze and got into the room sans a knock and only to find him with a used condom on the floor from yesternight's self service, since it was obvious he slept the night alone. Facing the wall with a linen covering him, he said: "what do you want? Thought I told you I'm over you" before he turned suddenly to a throat clearing of a man. It was a shock to see Mr Staindley in his room and stirring at him. He sprang up forgetting that he had nothing on him to try and clear a sitting space for him but said to him: "it's fine, I'll stand, since I'm not to stay long."
Renny: "am I making you feel uncomfortable wearing nothing? Sorry."
Edwin: "not that, no. You think that worm of yours scares me? Flatter yourself not sonny." It helped break the dense tension.
Renny: "it's just that I wasn't expecting you this early" with eyes stuck into his so he could hide the used condom on the floor with his foot stepping on it for a toe grab.
Edwin: "long night I suppose?"
Renny: "she left earlier" he said with eyes looking the other way to sell himself for his lie.
Edwin: "she did good, could've been damn awkward."
Renny: "yeah, sure."
Edwin: "I think it's my cue to get out of your hairs. Guess I'll see you around."
Still bare Renny grabbed his arm and pled for his stay, to at least wait outside while he's getting ready. Edwin looked at his timepiece and told him time won't allow and left.
Edwin went to check on the other young man and found that he just got an offer for his dream job. He congratulated him to his parents and left. He went back to work to push time and to his surprise found that Renny had just arrived a minute or two before him. It was to the receptionist unknown but to him knew why. Edwin asked him why and he started off by apologizing for what had transpired back at home. What he didn't know was that it actually was nothing out of his ordinary, a man being in the same room as a naked man in his room. With a kvetch he asked Renny: "did you come all the way to say you're sorry for being like that in your own private space? Am I not the one in the wrong for invasion? Grow up and straighten out your facts. Go back and come the day you decide to be a man, then maybe I'll listen to you."
Renny: "sorry Mr, it's just that I thought it was my ex who came in."
Edwin: "your business isn't mine to share with. How you run your affairs entirely a lane I can't step on."
Renny: "so, you didn't find it offensive anyhow? Wow, you're too cool for your age Mr."
Edwin: "what? Age? That's nothing. What's there cool to mention?"
Renny: "not a lot of people in your league will approve of that."
Edwin: "meaning I'm immoral and unfit for my office? Especially at my age?"
Renny: "not that, no, just that it's kinda fresh to witness a person of your level seeing things at my level. It's unheard of in my lane."
Edwin: "okay,, I hear you. Do inform those in your lane to step up to the alleys we walk in. Got to admit though, thy thickety calligraphy of your bareness got me wearing barren black for a bad 5th sec how you treat your rusted assets less than gold."
Renny: "I don't follow! But liking the way you're putting it, poetic."
Edwin: "if it's like that, then it's obvious you aren't of my league."
Renny: "why's that everyone up there fails to accommodate those starting out as if they too haven't been there?"
A knock at the door from the receptionist gets answered before he could respond to Renny's remark. "Tea, coffee or juice?" she asked.
Renny: "juice for me."
Edwin: "you're not done. Or are you?"
Renny: "oh, I like it thick."
Edwin: "worse. Martha please tell him."
Martha: "you're supposed to say please and thank you, but it's fine you'll get with the program. And you Sir, the usual stuff I take it?"
Edwin: "thanks Martha, the usual please."
Martha: "coming right up."
Renny: "thanks Martha."
Martha: "oh,,pleasure serving you" as she gets out.
Renny: "aren't you the superior here?"
Edwin: "I am, any wrong we need to look into?"
Renny: "no, not like that in fact, I just got surprised to hear you thank a lower staff member. It's new to me."
Edwin: "it's our culture, centred around 5 pillars which are courtesy, respect, integrity, loyalty and equality, acronymed as C.R.I.L.E."
Renny: "yeah, now I get it."
Edwin: "none's under anyone, only below is rank. We work as a unit."
Renny: "maybe one day I'll experience it myself."
Edwin: "which brings me to....." cut short by another knock by Martha to bring them their beverages.
Edwin: "that was quick. I should perhaps have this visitor be converted into a regular around here, hahaha" and Martha chuckled then responded: "I didn't get to write your name down Sir. Who are you?"
Renny: "Renny, Renny Hyndze."
Martha: "okay, lovely name for someone so apologetically sounding."
Edwin: "you mean who? This one, what? I don't wanna say."
Renny: "ahh, but Mr you know."
Martha: "you're quite right,,,mhm, I'm starting to pick some'f that vibe."
Renny: "you're to know me one day l hope."
Martha: "freely feely too I sense. Play the stairs status and you're gonna know me, if you catch my drift."
Edwin: "raw saw dust off the deck, a wet brown sack and he'd be the strongest of them all packed."
Martha: "yaah, hope so."
Edwin: "my hook is on tuna bait but then even a salmon would suffice if be near smoke pipes."
Martha: "you reckon not coal material? Or charcoal maybe?"
Renny: "yoh elders! But I'm still here."
Martha: "that's besides the point. A less bitter brew you just uncanned" with a bye gesture.
Edwin: "thanks for the hook up, cheers."
Martha: "and don't forget I'm out earlier today."
Edwin: "diarized but won't make it."
Martha: "no probs, chow."
Edwin: "enjoy" as he checks his watch.
Edwin: "12:10 already?"
Renny: "I love her already!"
Edwin: "huh!! Love? Who?"
Renny: "her" pointing to the door.
Edwin: "Martha?"
Renny: "yes her. She's bubbly and warm, I felt welcomed."
Edwin: "okay,,just doing her job. That's all."
Renny: "she's good."
Edwin: "yes she is, thanks. And you said love, what's love to you? The simplified definition to you."
Renny: "love is genuineness of a person, their caring, being there, honesty and ahhh,,,"
Edwin: "that's the problem. Confusing love with lust, hence you fall short of an explanation of love."
Renny: "to you Mr, what's love?"
Edwin: "love is affection. That's it."
Renny: "wow! Alright, that's true."
Edwin: "love is in two ways, your thoughts of that person and your thoughts for that person."
Renny: "I'm lost to be honest."
Edwin: "okay, your stimuli gets pushed by the feedback from the one receiving your love."
Renny: "why update you?"
Edwin: "update? Oh no! The lost to truth compass generation. Feedback actually means the giving back from the target recipient, and the same is with love. It's like a funnel in many relationships, whilst was supposed to be like a barrel. Many start off too much and over time lessen the affection until it reaches its prop blocking stage, whereas with sustained consistency in affection you keep apaced constantly. The first, occurs in lust and if truly in love will experience the second."
Renny: "mhm, never thought of it like that."
Edwin: "I understand, maturity. But then, why're you here?"
A knock at the door from the receptionist gets answered before he could respond to Renny's remark. "Tea, coffee or juice?" she asked.
Renny: "juice for me."
Edwin: "you're not done. Or are you?"

Renny: "mhm, never thought of it like that."
Edwin: "I understand, maturity. But then, why're you here?"
Renny: "I came because...." and a knock interrupted him from finishing his statement, causing him to sigh in relief, a reaction Edwin picked up on but ignored as he stood up to usher his friend in.
Edwin: "hey man, it's been long, what brings you to our side?
The visitor: "I'm on my way to the wedding so I thought I quickly pop in and say hi since I heard you won't make it. You looking good man,,,all glowing! Love it."
Edwin: "thanks buddy, glad you'll be the witness to my reason for not making it. His name is Renny Hyndze." Nodding to him he turned to Renny and extended his hand for a firm handshake. "Darrell Grotowski, glad to meet you. My friend doesn't keep time spinners around him, so, I guess I'll hear about you not long as another time user."
Renny: "I intend to Sir."
Darrell: "good, I hope so."
Edwin: "much appreciated. As you can see we were in the middle of a session for his imminent start prep for Monday, and since you're here, what's your piece for him?"
Darrell: "oh, thanks, though caught me off guard but will maximize. Your first job is working on you, and your prime resource is capitalizing your mind, so as to resign your private thought on how you know than what they know of you. The leadership climate is a push of earned layers of trust stripes and commitment to honesty, wherewith what's important is whom you source your information as for your depth, and the sub-important element herein being how you obtain that information. What remains key is for you to never get poluted by the down pipes into drains flowing of dirty sweats from remuneration baths. Your ownership of worth a self task of dignity worn by the brave to stay their mono tickets into the rough terrains of dare. Dangle reality afore you to paddle your will against harboring people working with you against you. It's the little I have for both of you today, especially you Renny."
Renny: "thanks."
Edwin: "further appreciated with thank you's in steroids."
Darrell: "always a pleasure man. So, let me be on my way. Thanks for the opportunity. Later man."
Renny: "nice knowing you Mr, and, where can I find more of your wisdom?"
Edwin: "oh, haha, I forgot to tell you. He's a business coach and I have recorded him because I know he always say profound stuff. We all pick his brain" with a look directed to him with a smile: "do let me know of your next session so I don't miss out. Plus I'll bring him along."
Renny: "awesome, thanks."
Darrell: "guess I'll be on my way. The bell is ringing."
Edwin: "lemme walk you out" and together they went out.
Back into the office Renny told him about two missed calls on his fone. Taking his fone he shook his head and sneered: "as if I'll ever get back to her!" as he puts it down.
Renny: "he sounds like a great conversationalist."
Edwin: "yaah he is."
Renny: "I wish my dream was his so I could see it in him."
Edwin: "lemme tell you something about a dream. Show up and work hard to make it smart in the eye of the wishing cheerers."
Renny: "I like that."
Edwin: "be active in yours so as to be a role player in the other's who dream of you in theirs. Go to serve just that and leave that which you weren't dreamed of in it. But remember, that's only if you were dreamed of."
Renny: "so Mr, did you dream of me the reason you came by my house?"
Edwin: "no, I came because of your knock into my world. I got caught by curiosity. Which brings me back to that, why are you here?"
Renny: "I came to hear why you swung by my place."
Edwin: "okay. Fair enough, you're heard. I came because you said you want help in pursuing your dream startup. What's it about? And what do you solve?"
Renny: "hey yaah! I never thought you're gonna question much the way you do. I came here because of excitement of you coming to my home."
Edwin: "what a cessnumb of an answer! Is this a joke?"
Renny: "no, I'm being serious."
Edwin: "okay, so? What's next?"
Renny: "I don't know. But all I know is I'm here to see you for the answer on why you came looking for me."
Edwin: "hey man, it's been long, what brings you to our side?
The visitor: "I'm on my way to the wedding so I thought I quickly pop in and say hi since I heard you won't make it. You looking good man,,,all glowing! Love it."

Renny: "no, I'm being serious."
Edwin: "okay, so? What's next?"
Renny: "I don't know. But all I know is I'm here to see you for the answer on why you came looking for me."
Edwin: "you said you want help that's why."
Renny: "I came here because of confidence."
Edwin: "confidence in what? Is it in you, your business idea or me financing you or your idea? Which confidence?"
Renny: "yoh! That's tough. I guess all of the above."
Edwin: "sadly for you, I don't invest in persons who are undecided."
Renny: "no, I'm not. Just that I don't know which will be the right one."
Edwin: "so, basically you don't have any directed confidence for me to base my judgment on. This leaves me with no strength to exercise my power for your empowerment."
Renny: "I........" rolling his popped out eyes of confusion.
Edwin: "give me that paper behind your ear." He turned and pulled an A5 note pad atop an exam pad and gave it to him.
Edwin: "I've got some questions for you. You'll give me your answers in writing, is that clear?" Renny extended his hand to take the pad back and the pen Edwin gave him, and nodded to express his understanding. Edwin gave him 15 mixed questions about himself, business, politics and family life. Some were a bit uncomfortable for him and it showed in his body language. Edwin was all this time reading into him how he went about receiving his questions and how long it took to answer. "Ah, we done. Give it to me" he addressed him. He studied the answers and teased him by soft whistling and head shooking and noddings with smiles, whilst still zeroing in on him. At the end sent him to bring the glasses from the cabinet and a bourbon on the rack in the next office. He brought them in a tray and he asked Renny if he drank, and he quickly sensed it as a test and he said no harshly and Edwin asked: "why defensive then?" of which Renny said that's because it's the truth. Edwin let it slide and asked him to pour for him. He was gentle and was obvious it ain't a first for him and this time Edwin remarked: "good serving for a first timer, or maybe I'm wrong." Renny by then started seeing it's clear he won't win it. Edwin took his glass and sipped with his eyes on Renny's Adam's apple.
Edwin: "the urge is too strong I suppose."
Renny: "no, I don't drink."
Edwin: "okay,,,but judging by your Adam's apple and thy eye, your story told is in capital clash with what you say. But it's fine,,ohhhh,,(closing his eyes for a second) this is mellow, I prefer it and cognac over gin."
Renny: "Mr, I came here to talk business. I guess all is done and I'll be on my way home now."
Edwin: "why so sudden? Why not be who you are and level with me? You can't reason with the impulse taking over you anymore. There're 2 tumblers here, take one and pour for yourself."
Renny: "I don't normally do this but for the sake of courtesy I will do that."
Edwin: "there's also 2 chicken strips and rice in the fridge, bring them with". They had lunch together and downed it with his quaff and Renny on alkaline water.

Edwin: "since we're here, what's the most important thing to your world now?"
Renny: "uhm, my fone and tablet, clothes and money. And you?"
Edwin: "a viable business idea, unencumbered funds and my family. To me I can't do without. The rest followed from the beginning, with family taking a 3rd seat from the 1st, given exposure and life realities. And whom are you important to now?"
Renny: "you gave an honestly matured answer."
Edwin: "oh, thanks."
Renny: "my family. They can't do without me. Don't wanna ask you again but curious."
Edwin: "it's quite simple, to me, I'm more than that to me. If I can't have me as me then the world would miss out, and so by it with me in it a wealthier assemblage."
Renny: "is there a chance you may perhaps consider mentoring me?"
Edwin: "mentoring? On what?"
Renny: "life and business."
Edwin: "if it was on life in business not life and business, cos both are clashing phenomena that takes a corrected sole to harmonize them."
Renny: "eh!"
Edwin: "yes! You co-exist in both, first in life before in business, by birth and start your shift on your first cry for a meal. You run the economy from day one by circumstantial obligation. Life is humongous whilst business is vast, and how you choose to mine your portions of existence in business determined by the type of lifestyle you opted for voluntarily. So, for you to ask me to be your mentor in life and business is something out of my cap of roling. I can be your tour guide in your life in business journey as a script collaborator in your journal writing and it ends there. Expect nothing bigger than that of me. Hope you picked my reel pattern" saying that fully aware that the poor boy is lost in the jungle of wordplay.
Renny: "I came here because of confidence."

Renny: "the collaboration, how long?"
Edwin: "that'll depend on your contracting me on tenancy."
Renny: "ohhh I see."
Edwin: "to be seasoned doesn't get cherry picked from the maturity Palm tree but instead from observing in patience the vegetation of its plantation."
Renny: "the more you talk the deeper I want in on time with you in my life."
Edwin: "hope it'll be out of knowledge herbage I'll be imparting and not any other way."
Renny: "what do you mean? Waste of your time? No, you're too important for me to do that, never."
Edwin: "glad that we're wave rafting."
Renny: "you know Mr, there's something I don't get about you business people. You be with one you learn this and be with the other one and learn that, same content but with different meanings. Why is that so?"
Edwin: "it's called 'same content diverse context' and yes it goes with background and knowledge of each, and drawing from their bag of exposure cos that's not factored when checklisting."
Renny: "thank you for your explanation. It sounds rooted."
Edwin: "guess I'll be a dominant force in the adventitious category for I'm untapped, hahaha" stirring straight up into his eyes.
Renny: "the mystery of the dull explained in bigger vocab."
Edwin: "word auctioneering or choice in deploy you mean? All grown up since your eventful morning, trying a bout of vocab wassail."
Renny: "yeah, something along those lines I suppose."
Edwin: "that's good. But are you evidencing this pollination though? Don't be like the younger me when starting out, I committed the very minute mistake and got somehow relegated to the pits of the untouchables, so, 'pasop!' they'll warn you warmly in calm South African tone."
Renny: "does that translate to the fact that I can't lead without qualifications?"
Edwin: "that's so far from that. How come you present yourself to a space such as this without any form of knowledge harvesting?"
Renny: "oh, for a second got me thrown out of the terrain."
Edwin: "a harsh one if you want but every possibility there you can conquer it."
Renny: "impossible not to if I have you."
Edwin: "you do, but at all material times a disappointing season if the challenge is found to be in-between the steering wheel and the seat, hahaha. Be a good driver of your destiny."
Renny: "yeah I get it hahaha. True."
Edwin: "it goes with your concept of truth and fact."
Renny: "that's no lie."
Edwin: "but now, what's the truth about a lie?"
Renny: "Mr, I don't know" saying it slowly.
Edwin: "it's simple. The truth of a lie is in the fact that it's got told, that's it."
Renny: "oh, I get it. Just that the question was vague for win."
Edwin: "vague for win? A first for my ear and I like it."
Renny: "wow! Thanks. And your concept of win?"
Edwin: "what about win? Cos a win is a feeling of overcoming what you undertook and the flow of achieving it a sense of pride."
Renny: "I am growing I must say."
Edwin: "and so the tuition on my side, I don't come cheap and should stick it to your mind."
Renny: "me, I know I'll make a good blend of a mentee you want. Promise you that."
Edwin: "yes you're to make a damn fine one, no doubt about that, just that I want a protege. The difference; mentees come and go, no strings of stripes attached and but with a protege a miniature of self gets made, and you already have started off with a fascinatingly brutal stripes remover fortunately. What a bloody high grade escape you've pulled there."
Edwin: "that'll depend on your contracting me on tenancy."
Renny: "ohhh I see."
Edwin: "to be seasoned doesn't get cherry picked from the maturity Palm tree but instead from observing in patience the vegetation of its plantation."

What a bloody high grade escape you've pulled there."
Renny: "that's unfair honestly!"
Edwin: "according to who's standards?" And silence became the break code for quote as tears twin scrolled down his cheeks.
Renny: "Mr, do you like me?"
Edwin: "yes, but l guess I'll do once I get to be really knowing you. Why?(a sigh),,,why not like you?"
Renny: "why not want me as your protege?"
Edwin: "because you can't be. There're certain establishing traits that informs one's instincts, and you unstrikingly fitting the misfit for an omnifit. Where I am, am looking for a successor. Do you find self in me?"
Renny: "I can work on it."
Edwin: "I believe you will but can never ace it sadly, and don't you ask me why cos it should arguably be obvious to you and for that just, discarded self."
Renny: "why? What have I done wrong Mr."
Edwin: "I've respect for my parents that's the start of it all, I hope it hit the cross."
Renny: "if you're to use that then I don't stand a chance."
Edwin: "that's unfair and unkind today but to be understood one day sitting in same a position I am. There's a grey denominator in everything in the life of business and 80% ruling you out already by your own pro-disqualification."
Renny: "I know nothing about the demon used against me."
Edwin: "what's to me interesting is, demon. What does that make of me? Isn't it devil?"
Renny: "no, but I'm just saying."
Edwin: "I don't have to systematize an ejector of my being. Don't sorry me for it rarely works with my type."
Renny: "so, what this all briefly mean is that the decision was made this morning in my room, and I had long failed by the moment you turned to walk out of my room."
Edwin: "I left your room on halftime and now armed with full-time results."
Renny: "this means I can't drive the same car you drive?"
Edwin: "not that, you can and will, but not the one I drive."
Renny: "okay, special edition?"
Edwin: "no, just saying that not my car."
Renny: "ouch! Disassuring indeed."
Edwin: "and now that the mood is sombre, there's no need for furtherance."
Disregarding Edwin's remarks, Renny did his thing and continued. He asked: "what advice would you give to someone buying a car for the first time?" Realizing he's trying to be the man in charge of his control, Edwin gave him a ladder to extend his lead position in discard. He responded by saying: "buy world cars not territorial or market specific cars merely for the reason of better value on resale."
Renny: "I hear you Mr,,you know, I want to really be like you."
Edwin: "you sure will if invest in rectifying your behavior."
Renny: "I believe my time today is up the way you check your time. But, before I go, where can I start? For me to be fitting."
Edwin: "are you lactose tolerant?"
Renny: "ehh, yoh! Let me guess! I'm not. Eish, lemme be honest with you, I know about this but not sure what it means."
Edwin: "those are some of the first table engagement keywords that you need to know about before going to capital structures and market dynamics, and those other biznes related talks. Whoa with are you in partnership with and your incorporation regime?"
Renny: "nobody but alone."
Edwin: "and your regime?"
Renny: "trust me I heard this before but got no clue about it."
Edwin: "okay, it's fine. Honesty is key. Your answer in partnership question should've been sole proprietor or sole incorporator. And for incorporation regime we mean your biznes formation type."
Renny: "oh! I didn't think it's that, thought of something else. Thanks for the lesson."
Edwin: "you aren't welcome cos there's no piece of documentation that you're reducing the info onto. Come tomorrow you'd be starting over with what you learned. But, you'll do it right next time."
Renny: "I can now see what you meant earlier about having to had come with a pen and paper for scribbling notes on. I won't forget that in future."
Edwin: "that's encouraging, as long as you'd keep your promise cos that's golden in life, a man is gauged by such as well and warrants a discard of him from the circles."
Edwin: "according to who's standards?" And silence became the break code for quote as tears twin scrolled down his cheeks.
Renny: "Mr, do you like me?"
Edwin: "yes, but l guess I'll do once I get to be really knowing you. Why?(a sigh),,,why not like you?"

Renny: "I believe my time today is up the way you check your time. But, before I go, where can I start? For me to be fitting."
Edwin: "are you lactose tolerant?"
Renny: "ehh, yoh! Let me guess! I'm not. Eish, lemme be honest with you, I know about this but not sure what it means."
Edwin: "those are some of the first table engagement keywords that you need to know about before going to capital structures and market dynamics, and those other biznes related talks. Whoa with are you in partnership with and your incorporation regime?"
Renny: "nobody but alone."
Edwin: "and your regime?"
Renny: "trust me I heard this before but got no clue about it."
Edwin: "okay, it's fine. Honesty is key. Your answer in partnership question should've been sole proprietor or sole incorporator. And for incorporation regime we mean your biznes formation type."
Renny: "oh! I didn't think it's that, thought of something else. Thanks for the lesson."
Edwin: "you aren't welcome cos there's no piece of documentation that you're reducing the info onto. Come tomorrow you'd be starting over with what you learned. But, you'll do it right next time."
Renny: "I can now see what you meant earlier about having to had come with a pen and paper for scribbling notes on. I won't forget that in future."
Edwin: "that's encouraging, as long as you'd keep your promise cos that's golden in life, a man is gauged by such as well and warrants a discard of him from the circles."
Renny: "and Mr, out of curiosity sake...(saw Edwin shake his head in disapproval and wondered) why in disagreement before I could finish?"
Edwin: "the moment you mentioned out of curiosity sake it meant not important, so, pointless for me. Note that in your mental prints as one of your encounter etiquette and netiquette. I won't write any notes for you, but expectant of you to do for your future reference" thus said with a serious tone, of which the message got clearly coded for deposit at the brain bank. Edwin gave him enough for the day and but done in mind and spirit that he truly ain't the one. It was heartbreaking looking at him though the truth had in non-real terms met its reality in him. He was still hopeful that the odds may change for the better but he was in a cal de sac of novicehood prepping.
From his wake of rebuke, the young hopeful blood said: "sorry."
Edwin: "no need, we all pass through this phase, as long as you'd observe and learn. What were you curios about?"
Renny: "I was about to ask where it all started for your career."
Edwin: "I don't know where to start with my colouring outside of lines, haha, but it started off in my early days of primary schooling in upper grades, no longer sure what grade it was. I started out with selling scones my mom baked every second day. I used to carry a bucket full to school and empty back home. My big customers used to be my educators and churches. I graduated to high school still selling them, and in my second year I upgraded to selling toys and not so long my mom got awarded a contract for 4 years to run the canteen, that's then I focused deeply on business as a store assistant to her. My dad by then was a cross-country truck driver, coming home once or twice a month. Together, me and my mom ran the business successfully for 2 consecutive tenures and from there I never doubted myself ever since. With me it was purely an economy of effort and depth, which now reflect smartness in my y,thoughts because of effort and my charisma coming from depth, and to date I still colour outside of lines of norm as I continue learning. I fashioned my self-support learning via the system of fractional knowledge harvesting, by which I wasn't attending classes at all but collecting homeworks and assignments, writing tests and exams. We had an arrangement with the school principal, and good thing was I never disappointed. I didn't get to go to further my studies in tertiary and worked with my mom by no choice. By sheer luck we bought a bakery later and started from there and, to date here I am still with her in her final days in retirement and still reporting to her every other day on the new applications for franchising, struggling franchises, newer ways to support franchisees, challenges in our own stores and solutions thereof, and I satisfied with the rate of growth, etc. and still going strong. And you? Your story?"
Renny: "I graduated from high school and started my business which I struggled with from day 1 to date. I never went to tertiary as well and hoping someone like you will hear my cry and help me."
Edwin: "but your business is out of my line."
Renny: "I'm ready to quit if can be given an opportunity to do something else. That's why I wrote to you for help."
Edwin: "I hear you."
Renny: "the mentorship means everything to me as it will give you a chance to know about me, like me and help me. It's very much important hence I couldn't believe it seeing someone like you in my own bedroom, and still a dream come true having me in your office and giving me so much time. It gives me hope that my dream is indeed possible."
Edwin: "you strike me as a good person to run a successful business, but not the one in my line. I can link you up with a business agent whose work is to take an idea and develop it, then package it best for good presentation to suitable in line prospects. Would you like that?"
Renny: "and the mentorship? Will you still be willing to take me up on it? I somehow sense there's a change of plan gradually or maybe I'm mistaken Mr?"
Edwin: "the moment you mentioned out of curiosity sake it meant not important, so, pointless for me. Note that in your mental prints as one of your encounter etiquette and netiquette. I won't write any notes for you, but expectant of you to do for your future reference" thus said with a serious tone, of which the message got clearly coded for deposit at the brain bank.

Edwin: "there's a shift, yes, but a change I don't know about. I'm doing what I feel is best and ideal for your progress with who you are and where you at. We can still be on the program but will it help? Yes it will, but not as quick as you want. It's up to you on this one."
Renny: "what if I do both?"
Edwin: "what if they don't like it? Why not ask if it'll be advisable or not when you meet your agent?"
Renny: "haven't you done this before for anyone Mr?"
Edwin: "hmmmm, I did, but for staged developments unlike with yours."
Renny: "I get deeper into the wilderness."
Edwin: "it's good, that's how you're to learn truly. Staged development means a process by which you learn nothing and but all things are done for you for a specific purpose such as to hype you up for a position somewhere, or for your sale to target entities, or for bumping up your entity for fund raising, and or worse; for destroying the individual by purpose."

Renny: "what about with me?"
Edwin: "do you think I can treat you as a transactional candidate and be telling you that? Hence I reckoned next time you come ready to learn. But if you want a quick ascend I can arrange for that cos with you my effort will be highly rewarded given your rawness in that you'd be signing up your fate with smiles on your path to your expensive grave."
Renny: "yoh! I didn't think I'd be walking out of here with so much honesty honestly. I'm in shock."
Edwin: "then you're the best candidate for what is called hype for drop."
Renny: "that's clear. But I don't want that on me please."
Edwin: "so, stop tempt calling for it. State your wish and it shall be. I like you but it's not a plus."
Renny: "thanks, I do too. What can be best recommended for me?"
Edwin: "you're clever but not smart, that's the challenge with you. I fancy dealing with the latter types for I thrive on wit, something which you're far from, unless you elected moving it to the back seat of your thinking machinery and can retrieve it anytime. You'll make it, just be sure of that. So, turning you into a smart person would require serious heaps of hoard investment that I can't afford to lead the front of."
Renny: "but you sure I'll be successful?"
Edwin: "C positive."
Renny: "but why do I feel so sad inside?"
Edwin: "is it 'cause of C positive remark?"
Renny: "maybe that too. And by the way what's C positive?"
Edwin: "it's simply the lowest score in the KPIs for positivity in anything that gets gauged for its performance in rating. And you, fare poorly."
Renny: "I feel hopeless really. Don't think I can manage at this rate."
Edwin: "that's normal but discouraging at the top of it. None's assured by doubt in self. Chin up and break a leg."
Renny: "that woman, the beautiful receptionist. Did she start better than me?"
Edwin: "you mean Martha?" Renny nodded quickly with a lit face and a super sparkling eye.
Edwin: "your problem starts there. Don't compare self with ghosts you know not death of, unearth their shadows only."
Renny: "I don't understand."
Edwin: "she's way above your league both academically and financially, hence I say follow and talk only your progress. She's a shareholder in here."
Renny: "okay, hmm, her husband's lucky."
Edwin: "I know. She's the daily reason he wakes up to work and do better for the future of their beneficiaries."
Renny: "you sound like you know her husband. Related or friends?"
Edwin: "sort of. We mine from the same acres of opportunity in scripted reserves of joint venture both in macro and micro economic fronts. We aim for eternity in this orchestration."
Renny: "don't overwork her for her share."
Edwin: "hahaha,,,I already do for her sole benefit of sweat equity."
Renny: "I wanna be like her and be made."
Edwin: "do you think I can treat you as a transactional candidate and be telling you that? Hence I reckoned next time you come ready to learn. But if you want a quick ascend I can arrange for that cos with you my effort will be highly rewarded given your rawness in that you'd be signing up your fate with smiles on your path to your expensive grave."

Renny: "I wanna be like her and be made."
Edwin: "Martha! Made? By who?"
Renny: "oh,,she's self-made, wonderful!"
Renny: "oh,,she's self-made, wonderful!"
Edwin: "be made you say huh? But why cos you already are. We're all made from birth and but because of stuffing our minds with foreign desires then fail our makers. Everyone is born made. Trouble is we see little in our supposed small starts in compare to long termers, and ultimately end up with hearts now labeled as being blamed for things not mandated for in their vintage announcements of maketh. In getting a breakthrough for your vision or goal in whatever path of wish, you're given a lease on it that but depends on how you've sustained your bond with your makers. For me to be here, I earlier on in my younger life chose to be close to my maker for sustenance, and I met a lessor of our vision and purpose, and together made the relations permanent, and his name is Garth Wilson, whom our tenancy grew tentacles through his lovely daughter, Martha."
Renny: "geez! Her family made you and now you're her boss? Fascinating stuff. Get out of here Mr!"
Edwin: "already out I am. Thought you'd slide me back in but no, shoved me live into the den. Garth bought into the dream and collaboratively laid it to rest for wake of our vision."
Renny: "your vocab" with a finger to his mouth and paused.
Edwin: "yes, what's with it?"
Renny: "sounds a level too high for your story."
Edwin: "it's a matter of choice actually. It never occurred to me that education is in classroom, but rather that it's everywhere I am, so I let off the thought of tertiary by learning outside your normal brick and mortar establishments, and voila, today I command the graduated from high level schooling to brighten my stars. I learn from their best beyond classroom because they report direct in competition for my attention and future security, thus securing my knowledge and sustainable earning stream. I provide opportunity for their livelihoods and they offer unlimited source of intel. They specialize and I generally practice as an overseer. Have a brave heart and forego brick and mortar, see the rewards."
Renny: "that's quite a mouthful. Thanks."
Edwin: "you should be!" A fone call came in and he frowned then went outside.
Coming back he told Renny that he's got to rush off to somewhere and asked if he's got taxi fare on him. Hearing he did, gave him a business agent's card for an appointment with him. "Call her first thing tomorrow morning, she'd be expectant of it." Renny wasn't sure of when to start with the mentoring and bite his nail and asked, of which Edwin said he call first the agent then thereafter shall there be a clear answer as without results thereof from her will he not. Renny asked also if he was wrong to return the blind visit and what about the Monday start he told of him to Darrell, if he could bring a smooth flavoured gin to gift him to sample his taste and Edwin said: "it only goes with the intent. Two, don't you know of PR? A flip danger you are unto self, but you'll soon enough learn. Hahaha, a smooth gin for me, no, I don't get appetized by less coloured and redistilled neutral grain spirits flavoured with juniper berries and blur charred aromatics from anise and caraway seeds. Better a rum on a wild nighted jamboree."
Renny: "you do wild jamborees? You not strike for me as one."
Edwin: "yeah I do, just that not the ones of yours. Not gonna argue on that" up in the air spreading his palms with a smile.
Renny: "not gon' leave that untagged anyways" chuckling.
Edwin: "any mention of my name you're so dead" and they laughed. "I guess it's been too much chicory sap for a toddler to can consume in savoury, may I shorten its tail or you be my guest?"
Still lost a bit, Edwin advanced to bridged the step gap between them and they shook hands where after Edwin wielded the keys to show him out. "It's good that you do spot vacuum, but know they're for a reason. In future, observe better" pointing at Renny who didn't know what to say.
"Where's he from? Darrell" he asked with face to the door.
Edwin: "Melbourne."
Renny: "okay, he looks rich."
Renny: "geez! Her family made you and now you're her boss? Fascinating stuff. Get out of here Mr!"
Edwin: "already out I am. Thought you'd slide me back in but no, shoved me live into the den. Garth bought into the dream and collaboratively laid it to rest for wake of our vision."

Renny: "okay, he looks rich."
Edwin: "yes he is, chunk of it inherited."
Renny: "but is it bad though?"
Sounding irritable Edwin said: "focus on yourself for once" and sensing Edwin's not happy with something about his friend, he opted out by quick subject drop as they walked out. "I'm so thankful for this time with you, much appreciated Mr, know that" and sweet Edwin winked at him accompanied by a back pat sans a further remark. Honestly, all in all for Renny, it was quite a day whilst Edwin had one of those in his life...dp
Q_what type of person is Edwin? What does running the economy mean? Is Edwin really in search of his successor? Which topic was your best in their conversation, and why? What does giving Renny a business agent's card mean for their future?

Scenario 159
The plot || never squander your second chance. It's your most prolific moment to ever getting in, bring in your all in use of it.
Sync1
The coldest winter morning seen in a long time. She was on that favorite balcony facing rocking chair in her bedroom, with a gas heater and gloves in her coat pocket. Being alone starting to get the best of her emptiness more than it is loneliness. She used to be happy and free, but now it's a tractor track to feel her warmth. She's grumpy and moody most of the times of late. Her wealth meant no lot more than it used to when she fought him during their divorce. He was like they never shared a life together, bitterness a still stick in precast mortar, promising to move, just but the setting preventing it.
Herlina Fiogr was a strong independent woman who was mistakenly married for convenience to Allan Rippe. Allan is an air balloons hire and maintenance guy. He made his fortune through that, but with thanks to Ma'am Fiogr he made it big in life. Their marriage failed to copy the business front and saw them separate. Allan was controlling whilst her running the coffers, so, it was economic abuse in defense to verbal abuse from an insecure husband. She grew her net worth right under his nose and it baffled him seeing her achievements without an input from him. She didn't need her actually. They married aged 26 and him 29 and divorced at 29 and 32, and now at 51 she's a household brand with accolades she never had the joy to share with her parents or siblings and offspring. Her parents and twin brothers got involved in a car accident and died on the spot while she was 17.
Ma'am Fiogr inherited her family business and grew it, and her uncle married her to her friend's son for his share in their business. He never looked after her interests instead of his, and she had no one to turn to as her aunt was not employed and supported her husband to stay on the safer side. Ma'am Fiogr never enjoyed her parenthood as she lost her boy child to fire at their day care. The kids were charred beyond recognition. Allan came to her laughing at her for fighting to keep him only to be judged by God and took him away from her for good. She had since then chosen to stay away from men and focus on what she's good and happy doing, and today she's an industry heavyweight. She manufactured assorted paints, bullets and horseshoes. She was admired yet feared for her bravery. She was the sole manufacturer of horseshoes the whole of Europe and Asia Pacific. Her products are sold even in the Americas and Canada.
She in her spare time wrote a book that got published under her nom de plume, Araya Guere. She then one day met some publisher who said to her: "your style of drafting is in a league of its own. Where did you learn?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "thanks. I acquired my skill at Saintsburg Academy of Writing. Creative drafting and Word scheming were my majors."
Publisher: "you must've been one of their best to date I suppose! So, what's your style called 'cause this isn't normal stuff?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "yeah, it's true, it ain't ordinary writing. I draft through subliminal writing and impact writing, because everybody does ordinary writing."
Publisher: "I see. Do you perhaps know of Felix Morton? He's a songwriter, scriptwriter and copywriter. But, he's been to Darlington School of Dramatic Arts. How you're good, he'd be more than glad to meet you or Araya" in laughter, which in turn made her laugh too. She said of course and they exchanged digits and coordinates. The publisher invited her to their club for a motivational talk and she reluctantly agreed.
The following afternoon she got a call from the publisher's brother, Noel Bak of Refound Publishers. He explained himself and she agreed to meet him. In just a single date, they clicked and were already on plans to write a novel together in the coming weeks. Time came and Felix Morton and Araya Guere signed a deal with Noel's younger brother for a romantic business novel titled "A sired corporate surrogate" and was highly anticipated by the publishing house. It took more than a year to complete and print. It generated huge publicity and it did deliver as title suggested. At that time she received an award for 'Woman of the year in business'. Soon after that she got booked to speak at a graduation ceremony at Gdynia Maritime University. The ceremony was well attended by even those who had no business being there, just to see her as she wasn't in the norm of being out too much. She was in public spaces less.
Her speech was short, and she said to them: "I've resolved to staying positive today for once, as I'm glad for the path you've chosen in study of business, we welcome you. But trust you me, for those who will be joining us as entrepreneurs and others as business executives, not as incumbents and locum directors as many others would opt for safety sake, is that the saddest part about being a business owner is the reality of entrusting your life to someone, delegating on your vision, hoping signatories don't jeopardize your livelihood, praying your close enemies don't target your success too hard, and that your family doesn't take your brand to the grave with you. Wake up to these sad realities that we're faced with each day we rekick our alive campaign. Life of business is a study case that if you lack of strategy to, will leave you weak and worn out with disappointment and bitterness over others' winning formulae. Be disciplined, dedicated, dependable, authentic and calculative in your path to your achievements. Those who're now counted are the ones who've chosen to be consistently user-friendly to their dreams. Goals are the opponents of failure and it doesn't help if you don't fight for them by you not being addicted to comfort, pity, acceptance and doubt. Walk your lane to know about the pains and gains of humility, flexibility, responsibility, accountability, and availability. In that lane you should stop listening to those many life changing speeches they wax you lyrically with and work towards eventualizing your purpose. Go out to lead because what the world expect out of leaders is answers, and you should have those armed with at their request if not demand. Bear in mind that there's a thin line between management and leadership, from that you'll have to decide what kind of people you want roaming around you. To have smart people around me is a reversal of fortunes, I'd rather have hard workers and thinkers, for anything that has to do with smart screams laziness and superficiality. I prefer cognitive thinking and holistic approach unlike tactical thinking and improvisation approach. For me, it's about going for nothing over something if there's no risk, lesson, and growth in it, but for you may be a case different to mine. The state of the day's economy matters in the hope of attaining the collective vision to see it materialize. I wish you well in your future endeavors and please don't come to my door knocking as yet, you're still raw, go out to the world and sharpen your saw blades before coming back to us. Thank you for this opportunity, stay blessed."

Being alone starting to get the best of her emptiness more than it is loneliness. She used to be happy and free, but now it's a tractor track to feel her warmth. She's grumpy and moody most of the times of late. Her wealth meant no lot more than it used to when she fought him during their divorce. He was like they never shared a life together, bitterness a still stick in precast mortar, promising to move, just but the setting preventing it.
Herlina Fiogr was a strong independent woman who was mistakenly married for convenience to Allan Rippe. Allan is an air balloons hire and maintenance guy. He made his fortune through that, but with thanks to Ma'am Fiogr he made it big in life. Their marriage failed to copy the business front and saw them separate. Allan was controlling whilst her running the coffers, so, it was economic abuse in defense to verbal abuse from an insecure husband. She grew her net worth right under his nose and it baffled him seeing her achievements without an input from him. She didn't need her actually. They married aged 26 and him 29 and divorced at 29 and 32, and now at 51 she's a household brand with accolades she never had the joy to share with her parents or siblings and offspring. Her parents and twin brothers got involved in a car accident and died on the spot while she was 17.
Ma'am Fiogr inherited her family business and grew it, and her uncle married her to her friend's son for his share in their business. He never looked after her interests instead of his, and she had no one to turn to as her aunt was not employed and supported her husband to stay on the safer side. Ma'am Fiogr never enjoyed her parenthood as she lost her boy child to fire at their day care. The kids were charred beyond recognition. Allan came to her laughing at her for fighting to keep him only to be judged by God and took him away from her for good. She had since then chosen to stay away from men and focus on what she's good and happy doing, and today she's an industry heavyweight. She manufactured assorted paints, bullets and horseshoes. She was admired yet feared for her bravery. She was the sole manufacturer of horseshoes the whole of Europe and Asia Pacific. Her products are sold even in the Americas and Canada.
She in her spare time wrote a book that got published under her nom de plume, Araya Guere. She then one day met some publisher who said to her: "your style of drafting is in a league of its own. Where did you learn?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "thanks. I acquired my skill at Saintsburg Academy of Writing. Creative drafting and Word scheming were my majors."
Publisher: "you must've been one of their best to date I suppose! So, what's your style called 'cause this isn't normal stuff?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "yeah, it's true, it ain't ordinary writing. I draft through subliminal writing and impact writing, because everybody does ordinary writing."
Publisher: "I see. Do you perhaps know of Felix Morton? He's a songwriter, scriptwriter and copywriter. But, he's been to Darlington School of Dramatic Arts. How you're good, he'd be more than glad to meet you or Araya" in laughter, which in turn made her laugh too. She said of course and they exchanged digits and coordinates. The publisher invited her to their club for a motivational talk and she reluctantly agreed.
The following afternoon she got a call from the publisher's brother, Noel Bak of Refound Publishers. He explained himself and she agreed to meet him. In just a single date, they clicked and were already on plans to write a novel together in the coming weeks. Time came and Felix Morton and Araya Guere signed a deal with Noel's younger brother for a romantic business novel titled "A sired corporate surrogate" and was highly anticipated by the publishing house. It took more than a year to complete and print. It generated huge publicity and it did deliver as title suggested. At that time she received an award for 'Woman of the year in business'. Soon after that she got booked to speak at a graduation ceremony at Gdynia Maritime University. The ceremony was well attended by even those who had no business being there, just to see her as she wasn't in the norm of being out too much. She was in public spaces less.
Her speech was short, and she said to them: "I've resolved to staying positive today for once, as I'm glad for the path you've chosen in study of business, we welcome you. But trust you me, for those who will be joining us as entrepreneurs and others as business executives, not as incumbents and locum directors as many others would opt for safety sake, is that the saddest part about being a business owner is the reality of entrusting your life to someone, delegating on your vision, hoping signatories don't jeopardize your livelihood, praying your close enemies don't target your success too hard, and that your family doesn't take your brand to the grave with you. Wake up to these sad realities that we're faced with each day we rekick our alive campaign. Life of business is a study case that if you lack of strategy to, will leave you weak and worn out with disappointment and bitterness over others' winning formulae. Be disciplined, dedicated, dependable, authentic and calculative in your path to your achievements. Those who're now counted are the ones who've chosen to be consistently user-friendly to their dreams. Goals are the opponents of failure and it doesn't help if you don't fight for them by you not being addicted to comfort, pity, acceptance and doubt. Walk your lane to know about the pains and gains of humility, flexibility, responsibility, accountability, and availability. In that lane you should stop listening to those many life changing speeches they wax you lyrically with and work towards eventualizing your purpose. Go out to lead because what the world expect out of leaders is answers, and you should have those armed with at their request if not demand. Bear in mind that there's a thin line between management and leadership, from that you'll have to decide what kind of people you want roaming around you. To have smart people around me is a reversal of fortunes, I'd rather have hard workers and thinkers, for anything that has to do with smart screams laziness and superficiality. I prefer cognitive thinking and holistic approach unlike tactical thinking and improvisation approach. For me, it's about going for nothing over something if there's no risk, lesson, and growth in it, but for you may be a case different to mine. The state of the day's economy matters in the hope of attaining the collective vision to see it materialize. I wish you well in your future endeavors and please don't come to my door knocking as yet, you're still raw, go out to the world and sharpen your saw blades before coming back to us. Thank you for this opportunity, stay blessed."
Ma'am Fiogr finished her speech and went to her seat without any ovation. As she realized they were still far, she stepped back to the podium and said: "I am sorry to have cut it short. It took time for you to sink, shouldn't have left you so quickly in your transportation. Now it's time you woke up to your reality before you. The very fellows you're graduating here with today, are your future best, or bad,,,future worse. Hug them now for the sake of your upcoming reality stage of knives in your backs, cold cuddlings, good reviews, safe and unsafe opponentry, and many tryouts of teaming ups, partnerships and sole ventures, because from now on you're no longer the same and I hope they prepped you for that. There're new lessons abound stemming from your own view of outlook on life, business, money, relations and power, for where you are there's an internal foreign uprising ministry that's ready to show itself once you step out that door. Some of you were hidden by lack of quality and now your qualification to bring that true you out, some hidden by poverty and now that appointment letter a real revelation awaiting the true you, some of you are rare gems hidden in humble backgrounds we'll come to know about, a new wave of new industries we are to experience through you starting from today, so many headlines I see out of you, so many stories I read today of a future with you, and it's only you to make sure you deliver to that promise you have to that parent, guardian, friend, sponsor, those all role players who sacrificed to see you here. I bet it's a forgotten chapter to some of you in here, but let me remind you, those words stuck with them as they lit their rooms of hope in you, and thank you you gotten this far through tenacity and I applaud that. Go out, be good active citizens who'll contribute positively to the economy. Thank you once again" and waved. A brief silence again and just as she caught her breath, the claps were heard from the back and it took full two minutes. They were so serenaded by her voice and words, she's a rarefied speaker no wonder. Because of the ceremony being streamed, Noel got to see that and he was wowed by the poise of that woman that it occurred to him she should be the one delivering the key note speech during the book launch.
A day later, Noel called her to talk to her about his suggestion and Ma'am Fiogr wasn't keen but said it's okay. She's not the public speaking type that's why. The launch day came and she gave a good line of welcome and let Noel do the rest. People were asking why them instead of Felix Morton and Arya Guere. Ma'am Fiogr answered by saying due to their closeness to them, they preferred it be by them. She read out her favorite passage with a bit of difficulty that it convinced all that she's got nothing to do with the book writing. But then, Noel on the other hand, failed to lay the doubt to rest as he read it out with no reference that it said him had something to do with the writing of the book. His denial was a flop and at the end admitted to being a contributor of some content therein. And once out, he could feel the cloud of rejection was lurking. Ma'am Fiogr spelt it out to him that it was over for their working relationship as he failed to stick to the rules of their project engagement as he got carried away by attention infatuation. To sell as a pseudo writer you conceal your identity no matter what, but he just couldn't though thankfully didn't spill the beans on her involvement.
Despite the bad relations behind the scenes of A Sired Corporate Surrogate, the publisher's website was busy with daily reviews and sales. The book made a big difference to the name of the publisher and their financial situation. The book outsold many books on shelves and online as well it topped, failing to surpass only the bible and a few titles by strong seasoned authors. It was a feat of an achievement for both. On her 52nd birthday, Ma'am Fiogr was presented with a gold plated sales certificate and a notification of her payment. She was grateful and another good thing happened, she got reunited with an old time fling from high school and tertiary days, whom she was forced to dump for her marriage to Allan. They rekindled their ties and sparks came back in their immediacy. Daxel Dudenski was a big fan of her writing and had purchased even her first book 'Flighting tears' after he saw the publishing contract with her name on it. He was proud of her status and achievements to date. Daxel was divorced and single, of same age as her, though a few weeks older, and a direct match for her. Daxel was staying with his two boys as his girl went to be with her mother after divorce.

Daxel was staying with his two boys as his girl went to be with her mother after divorce.
Because of her emptiness and loneliness of late, Ma'am Fiogr spelt it out to him he couldn't make his trip back home and had to call home to come up with an excuse to the boys. They bought the story and he was there for the night which was the shortest by their feeling. Everything was oh so natural that it wasn't easy to part again. One thing good was that the mutuality of their feelings towards that but he had to go back home as promised. Daxel told his sons about the whole story and they were happy for him that they even called Ma'am Fiogr together to certify the trueness of his attestation. It was so pleasing to her and she spent the whole day without eating at all because of the happiness that filled her. Daxel later called to apologize for his failure to zip his mouth but just couldn't because of not being able to contain himself. Sad for Ma'am Fiogr was the fact that she had no one to turn to to share her new found lool of happiness.
Days passed and finally they met again and this time he came with his boys, 19 and 16. Their sister was 25 and never gelled with them as they were biologically not of same. Her mother made no effort to see them together. To the boys it's always been them and their dad against mom and her daughter, and that came to the natural termination and dissolution of their marriage. Daxel got married after giving up on his dream of being with Ma'am Fiogr, whom to her is Lina. Back in the day they had a book they co-authored but never finished titled 'Lina dax' which he to date had in his box of trade dreams.
The boys, Ludwik and Gawel loved their new mom. They saw her more real than their biological mom. There was no distance between them and their dad like it was in the first part setup. They called her mom instantly and they informed their mom about that. In his divorce he lost almost everything but not his all, and today with Lina he gained all and more. It was like they never had years apart. Lina quickly introduced the boys to the world of business and they were picking up like she imagined they would, especially Gawel. One hot after an old car parked next to Ma'am Fiogr's and out of it came a young fine woman who introduced herself as Maja Jeska. She reminded her of the speech she made last year during the graduation ceremony and that she's one of those graduates. Ma'am Fiogr allowed her into the car as it was blazing outside.
The conversation between them didn't take long but fruitful in the sense that Maja got told to sell her mom's car and come back with whatever she sold it for, and they'll talk about the direction they're to take together thereafter. After a week and a half Maja went back to Fiogr House to ask for Ma'am Fiogr, but wasn't given an audience as she had no appointment. She then went to sit at the waiting area, and got told she must leave. After that treatment she went out and waited for Ma'am Fiogr. Fortunately for her, there was a meeting that Ma'am Fiogr was to go to and had to leave office. On her way out nobody said anything about Maja even after she asked if there's anything she needed to know before she left. She got into the lift and into the car.
Driving out she noticed a familiar face and pulled the window down, Maja realized that she was recognized by her. She stopped to ask her what she's waiting for outside and she told her the whole story. With tears in her eyes Ma'am Fiogr gave her a tissue and invited her in. They drove to the meeting and she was there unprepared for such an occasion. It was a space full of big moneyed names and she said to her not to worry as she organized a name tag for her. Maja was taken aback when she read it and asked not. Going in, she was introduced as the intern who is a naturalist, hence she had her amongst others who weren't loving themselves like she was. People clapped for her and she was part of the meeting which she woke up not imagining she'll ever make a mention of in. She was in an investor meeting into her expansion strategy.
Maja learned a lot on that day as she was in the middle of talks on investment ways into the continent and the pitch to lobby more funds. The catch term of the day was hybrid paints. Herlin Paints on that day managed to raise a space filling €684 mln, €184 mln more. She went out of the meeting with high spirit and asked Maja to tell her how much she sold her car for, and she said €8 000 only. Ma'am Fiogr said it's more than enough to go and upgrade herself for her role and start with her intern job. Again, she asked if there's anything she learnt from that gathering and she said it's a lot she took away from it. She went on to mention the lessons and Ma'am Fiogr realized she's sharp and reminded her that if she's that sharp she shouldn't become smart. She promised to be hard working and would never disappoint her. Ma'am Fiogr gave her 3 days to go prepare herself and come back different. She gave her a card for her appointment for her first day.
Later in the evening Maja couldn't believe it when her younger brother and father called her out to see herself on TV. She wasn't even aware of media in the room. It was calls after calls from people asking her if it really was her with Ma'am Fiogr. Maja's father knew from that day on her daughter's life has changed for the better. Maja's mother is blind and stayed at the village with her family as her wish. After hearing of the news that her daughter was on the news with Ma'am Fiogr, she asked to be taken home. She knew that she'd be now taken well care of unlike before. Maja's family sold cattle to finance her education, and now a huge welcome relief to have her found work at a big firm as Herlin Paints as she told them. She went to the salon and had her wardrobe upgraded. On the fourth day she was different indeed and she felt it. At the reception they didn't recognize her altogether. She had a pass and was taken to Ma'am Fiogr's office.
Maja spent the entire day alongside Ma'am Fiogr's side. They talked about a lot of stuff and by the end of day, Ma'am Fiogr asked her if she's capable of teaching and Maja said she's not good but wouldn't mind the challenge. Ma'am Fiogr was fond of Gawel and she wanted Maja to teach her about business and in a later stage start a new shadow brand under them. Gawel had a heart and fire for business and she directed him to that. Gawel didn't waste any time and went in with his all and within 6 months he was a big fan of Corporatology especially when it came to corporanomics. Daxel wasn't surprised at all as he's been observing his journey from young. As for Ludwik, he was into metrosexual stuffs and was supported in his quest to become a super model.
At 53, Lina and Daxel got engaged and in 3 months got married. Daxel through his publishing background was tasked with plugging Ludwik to help him realize his dream. He didn't waste much time and he hooked him with a modelling agency and soon her was on his first assignment. His break was a clothes ad and didn't pay that much but got his profile boosted. On the same week, Ma'am Fiogr got a call from her publisher asking if she'd be on for a follow up of their successful novel? She vehemently denied the chance for that request. She told them it was a one-off. The publisher pleaded with her until she stated she'd rather collaborate with another author and they agreed. Ma'am Fiogr was connected with Adam Redinski of 'Half point death' and after two sessions felt they were more than compatible plus Daxel was friends with his sister's husband, Jakub Jez. By then A Sired Corporate Surrogate was still a good seller, and the deal was signed.
In between writing and following on the progress of Gawel, Ma'am Fiogr was in talks to buy some office space for Maja and Gawel. In 13 months they were oiled as a unit and Maja was tasked with finding out what Gawel actually liked and it was clothing, so Ma'am Fiogr asked Maja about her wish and it was agriIT and manufacturing. She was passionate about it and Ma'am Fiogr was sure of that but wanted to hear it from her. She secretly organized a deal with a struggling agricultural equipment manufacturers for a merger or buyout. They agreed upon a buyout and to finalize the deal she brought in Gawel and Maja as sealers and Maja pushed it to acquisition and it was a deal.

They agreed upon a buyout and to finalize the deal she brought in Gawel and Maja as sealers and Maja pushed it to acquisition and it was a deal.
Gawel enjoyed the two meetings they had and at 18 and half by then was a total thrill. They found that the company was in arrears on property and they leased out part of the space to settle the debt. Ma'am Fiogr set them down and had a meeting with them over the operations of their new business. She had shareholders agreement and they were over the moon. On the other hand Ludwik's career wasn't as he planned, so Ma'am Fiogr asked Daxel to have him be his partner in a business that will let him be fulfilled. Daxel sat down with him to learn much as he can with direction from Lina, and found that he's not that guided and well informed about his future and as such they decided for him. Daxel resigned from his job and established his own media and advertising agency that had the arts recruitment and talent management in it. They let Ludwik head that side. He was more than happy.
The new book with Adam Redinski was now out and was also adapted to a movie of which its rights were under the new kid in publishing world, Lud Publishing. The new movie was under the book title, 'You can never be'. It was expected to sell high but received the lukewarm response from the public. The same was happening with Gawels Pro, the business was failing under the two and to revive it Maja and Gawel were given new roles and had operations be headed by those who were there before. It took 7 months to start showing signs of turnaround. Maja spent some time with the managers to learn much as she could about their shortfalls in appreciation that business isn't easy.
One morning Maja went to Ma'am Fiogr to have a chat with her. They did talk but she was in a rush and she asked her: "Ma'am, is there a difference between creative perspective and economic perspective in thinking?"
MF: "yes there is, a big one in fact. A person who is thinking in a creative perspective views problems with a soft eye that comes with emotional focused solutions, whilst the economic perspective thinker comes with hard facts that focus on risk identifying, mitigation and loss control, to be exact. Why ask?"
Maja: "meaning we failed because of having applied neither. I just wanted to hear it from you."
Ma'am Fiogr: "seeking affirmation over your intuition isn't a winning formula as well. But glad you showed integrity by self pointing out your failure in your cross leadership style. Find your common traits and do some SWOTs of each and you'll see your success. Therefore, stick with both to cover both angles, for they both are important and complementary to each in terms of criticality."
Maja: "but then, to you, which thinking speaks more sense to you?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "it's not about comparison but rather the roles each thinking plays in your success. I don't know what you were applying at first, but to me, the end result matters."
Maja: "it's just that the industrial psych in a nutshell was telling us about that. I'd prefer to have a balance, have each tap into both or one different to the other."
Ma'am Fiogr: "makes sense. I matched you on your character traits but sadly both chose to go in with personalities."
Maja: "I don't follow."
Ma'am Fiogr: "I never expected for you to know, you're still in the process of being grinded for refinement. Sad thing is your partner doesn't do as you do, but I hope he'll grow up to do that. You're an ideal partner and him I was building to be a model partner, with time you're to get it."
Maja: "another free lesson of many yet to come, please don't get tired of me."
Ma'am Fiogr: "I won't, secret is I'm to date still learning from others, and you included. But, worry not of my lesson. I have to be off. Talk soon, bye" going out.
A few hours later Maja was at home with her mother when she received a call from Ma'am Fiogr. She was checking with her on someone that claimed to know her from high school and her name was Anja Jezok. She responded by saying yes she knew her and she was a hectic sole yet good in mathematics. She asked why did she ask and she said she was rubbishing her name but it didn't work. But then what startled Maja was a reveal of her dark secret that froze her, it was about an abortion she had back then after a brief affair with a married man. She hung up and switched off her fone. She went downstairs and got into her car then drove to Ma'am Fiogr. She was there to explain herself and to her surprise she wasn't that bothered at all. She just told her to know what kind of a person Anja is and that she shouldn't repeat such a flop of sharing deep secrets with untested ones like her. But her look was saying something else, and Maja said his name was Mikail Zanuski. "I know already, it's not my place" she said to her. They talked about other things and had tea together. They knocked off at 21:17.
Maja was staying at a security village and her family at a suburb not far from her. It was her priority to secure her pole position with Ma'am Fiogr. She dated a fellow board member and secretly Ma'am Fiogr didn't approve as they'll rattle the cage the day it falls apart. She talked to Gawel to have him look at it again. That very afternoon Maja knocked on Ma'am Fiogr's office door to plead with her for her temptation. She had that relationship cut by the following day. It didn't take long before she met a photographer at a set of a magazine program for their interview. They hit it off like wildfire and none had any issues with it due to its safe nature.
One day Maja got a shocker of a surprise when she was called to the front office to attend to a visitor who said she's Ms Jezok. She wasn't even thinking of her but there she was. She invited her up to her office. She was there to ask for funds for her startup, and Maja called Gawel and they both said to her that she can't have their backing. After leaving Maja and Gawel called Ma'am Fiogr to tell her about their visitor. They laughed and she said to Maja that: "she doesn't know what you did to catch my attention, she thinks you were given a lead role just like that, no."
Maja: "I pity her though."
Gawel: "she said 3 things in a minute. It was that if we don't like the other we could look at the other, it wasn't on."
Ma'am Fiogr: "she went to you as if I never prohibited her. It wasn't enough for her that I long told her it's a polish a turd of a project that I personally won't even invest a con cent in it."
Maja: "yoh, haha,,,is that how stringent you really are nowadays?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "nope, it's definitely not. Unfortunately, none of y'all are ready to listen, but don't come back crying to me. It's a futile feat that I just don't have the strength to waste for."
Gawel: "guess what she said when she left."
Ma'am Fiogr: "I'll be back! Hahaha"
Maja: "that's more mild to hers."
Ma'am Fiogr: "yoh, I wonder!"
Maja: "investing isn't your forte I get it people, thanks for your words of bad encouragement. I'll remember them in no future same as now. Goo'bye."
Gawel: "and worry not mom, we handled it professionally. You'd be proud of us had you been in observing."
Ma'am Fiogr: "alright, point taken, but probable causes in check because everything in life is too serious to never be personal. And I too am with my use of money. You did good, thought you won't sift thorough between good investment for bad one."
Gawel: "have to get back to work. Love you much."
Ma'am Fiogr: "me too son, goo'bye." After that they all laughed before dropping.
Maja was staying at a security village and her family at a suburb not far from her. It was her priority to secure her pole position with Ma'am Fiogr.

One day Maja got a shocker of a surprise when she was called to the front office to attend to a visitor who said she's Ms Jezok. She wasn't even thinking of her but there she was. She invited her up to her office. She was there to ask for funds for her startup, and Maja called Gawel and they both said to her that she can't have their backing. After leaving Maja and Gawel called Ma'am Fiogr to tell her about their visitor. They laughed and she said to Maja that: "she doesn't know what you did to catch my attention, she thinks you were given a lead role just like that, no."
Maja: "I pity her though."
Gawel: "she said 3 things in a minute. It was that if we don't like the other we could look at the other, it wasn't on."
Ma'am Fiogr: "she went to you as if I never prohibited her. It wasn't enough for her that I long told her it's a polish a turd of a project that I personally won't even invest a con cent in it."
Maja: "yoh, haha,,,is that how stringent you really are nowadays?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "nope, it's definitely not. Unfortunately, none of y'all are ready to listen, but don't come back crying to me. It's a futile feat that I just don't have the strength to waste for."
Gawel: "guess what she said when she left."
Ma'am Fiogr: "I'll be back! Hahaha"
Maja: "that's more mild to hers."
Ma'am Fiogr: "yoh, I wonder!"
Maja: "investing isn't your forte I get it people, thanks for your words of bad encouragement. I'll remember them in no future same as now. Goo'bye."
Gawel: "and worry not mom, we handled it professionally. You'd be proud of us had you been in observing."
Ma'am Fiogr: "alright, point taken, but probable causes in check because everything in life is too serious to never be personal. And I too am with my use of money. You did good, thought you won't sift thorough between good investment for bad one."
Gawel: "have to get back to work. Love you much."
Ma'am Fiogr: "me too son, goo'bye." After that they all laughed before dropping.

Herlin Paints was breaking record sales and horseshoes were stagnant and Fiogr Armoured was growing and with bulletproof vests, assorted weaponry and explosives now on the manufacturing menu, she was over the moon. Ludwik was with his stepmom when she received the reports. He too was looking forward to good results from Lud Publishing as well. On their way out Ludwik said to his step mom: "I see you're so humbled by your success mom."
Herlin Paints was breaking record sales and horseshoes were stagnant and Fiogr Armoured was growing and with bulletproof vests, assorted weaponry and explosives now on the manufacturing menu, she was over the moon. Ludwik was with his stepmom when she received the reports. He too was looking forward to good results from Lud Publishing as well. On their way out Ludwik said to his step mom: "I see you're so humbled by your success mom."
Ma'am Fiogr: "don't ever think like that my child, humbled is only used for paper and favour, but don't be meaning it for there's no good to gain out of humble. Humble isn't respected in the real world it gets quashed. Use it for PR purposes and exit its zone right there and then. Be and do what's unfavorable in public opinion for that's where your success is."
Ludwik: "but mom, dad taught us to be respectful, humble and compassionate. I don't get you now!"
Ma'am Fiogr: "I know you don't get the inner workings of life in business versus life of business. I am living the life of business, and I am now reeling you from the wishy washy you know. Your dad is himself still learning to adjust from the life in business to the life of business. You are placing yourself in the life of business, thing is your dad lessons were from a liver in business."
Ludwik: "but I still don't understand."
Ma'am Fiogr: "okay. A life in business is for those who are in business as hired personnel, and the life of business is the life you're now living."
Ludwik: "oho, business owners live life of business, and I am that, a liver of life of business. Sounds great to hear myself say that. Love you mom. Thanks, you're the best."
Ma'am Fiogr: "thanks son. Be anything in your life of business but never be the outshiner of your master, it's the most expensive mistake to commit. Remain as that you are to your opportunity bringer or risk losing your currency weight."
Ludwik: "I'm 100% with you mom."
Ma'am Fiogr: "I know that, but be 100% to me and 100% with your father. Ask me not and observe rather, then future shall revert with a reveal to you. Mind you, maturity is parked in your knowledge and wisdom reserved in your respect for your vision, hence you see me stuck with your patience of self towards your learning for your success. I respect that in a man, just know that, and that's what any woman of my caliber seek in a man."
Ludwik: "yooh, mom, is that what attracted you to dad from back then?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "yes it was and still is, just that he got messed up by the 9to5 mentality, more attractive is his quitting from that rat race, but don't tell him."
Ludwik: "it's our secret. It makes me like him more."
Ma'am Fiogr: "you should, he was a man of many ideas. He still is all a woman would ever wish for. You should be like him you know."
Ludwik: "thanks mom, I will. Thank you for the way you make me view everything anew in life, it's so refreshing to be with you."
Ma'am Fiogr: "mhm, are you trying to steal me from your dad young businessman? Don't wake my blushes, hahaha."
Ludwik: "think I'm that charming? Wow!"
Ma'am Fiogr: "you're catching up so fast it's even scaring me."
Ludwik: "you know, it's sad thinking what my sister's missing. She would've turned out to be a role model by now if hadn't she chosen foolishly."
Ma'am Fiogr: "no Ludwik. A fine business executive doesn't think and say such, but your point is audible enough to even an earcap. But, she had her reasons, so don't speak of her like that. Respect her choice and grow yourself to prove to her if she's made a wrong decision if any. She too will learn to take a lead from your poise. I believe we'll be late for supper, let's go. I think you'll start first by opening the door for me, then take that key and direct the mobilion to our destination."
Ludwik: "today I'm taking dad's role."
Ma'am Fiogr: "1000 times behind, forget it, haha."
Ludwik: "am I really that bad?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "yaah."
Ludwik: "okay let's go mom."
Later that night in bed Daxel told Lina that Ludwik is of late taking giant leaps in his growth. He was worried the boys will eventually leave their sister behind. And also their peers were lagging behind them. Lina just laughed and said to him that it's in the lives they've dived them into and that it's only natural for them to be like that. Daxel was truly not yet on par with his wife and will never be, and Ludwik did take note. Ludwik is growing more and more fond of his stepmom than he did with his biological mom. That also had an effect on him with his father, they were growing apart because of his developing poignancy. Trouble was that Ludwik will struggle in future to find a woman to marry in that he's going to compare his stepmother to the girls he'll be meeting. Lina knew Daxel was actually threatened by the advancements of his sons as it was rapid for his pace to tame them. Also, he was indirectly trying to ask Lina to decelerate, but nothing she could do as they're influenced and it's no use crying over spilt milk.
Ludwik: "but mom, dad taught us to be respectful, humble and compassionate. I don't get you now!"

Later that night in bed Daxel told Lina that Ludwik is of late taking giant leaps in his growth. He was worried the boys will eventually leave their sister behind. And also their peers were lagging behind them. Lina just laughed and said to him that it's in the lives they've dived them into and that it's only natural for them to be like that. Daxel was truly not yet on par with his wife and will never be, and Ludwik did take note. Ludwik is growing more and more fond of his stepmom than he did with his biological mom. That also had an effect on him with his father, they were growing apart because of his developing poignancy. Trouble was that Ludwik will struggle in future to find a woman to marry in that he's going to compare his stepmother to the girls he'll be meeting. Lina knew Daxel was actually threatened by the advancements of his sons as it was rapid for his pace to tame them. Also, he was indirectly trying to ask Lina to decelerate, but nothing she could do as they're influenced and it's no use crying over spilt milk.
Then, day came that the boys got to meet up with their sister and it was obvious she had no confidence in self. The young siblings were far advanced to her and had zest for life than she. She cried to them at the end for their assistance of her and their mom. Gawel was quiet all along the reunion, and silently realized how Lina had changed their minds, lives and social standing that even their then arrogant sister couldn't stand against, he was conflicted within. Ludwik quickly thought of the words he got from their stepmom and treated her with kindness and respect. She still felt she was behind and below them, of which indeed she was without doubt. They were honest to her that they'll have to sit down their mom and have a better way forward. She thanked them.
Later at home the boys requested to have a closet moment with their mom and chat about their sister. Daxel was worried as the boys drew the line and pulling more away from them, and but thankfully Lina had a way with them and always had a way to have him be a part. She asked to meet her and they arranged for her to come the following day but said she couldn't as she'll have to organize some fare to come. Ludwik offered to go fetch her. Once settled, Gawel asked her why was she like that and she said: "she's your own flesh and blood, and I'm married to that." She was something else to the boys all the time. She amassed more respect by the day from them. To their disappointment was Daxel's reaction to the news, he was still bitter. It took Lina again to show him the way and won him over. She made his see reason to allow her into the circle because she comes alone even though she'd be taking back to her mother it's still fine as they too needed to live and no longer just get by. Also, that a sign of regret over their then move. It made him accept her again.
She arrived with Ludwik and she was all up in tears for the beauty of the world she stepped into. She was warmly welcomed and in a split second saw the huge difference between her and their mom. She responded apologetically, but Ma'am Fiogr wasn't having that, she told her to relax as there was her home and that she's welcome to stay as long as she wanted. She asked: "is this your home?"
Ma'am Fiogr: "yes, your future."
Delia: "shoo! I'm overwhelmed by its sheer size."
Ma'am Fiogr: "you're welcome to take a tour. She called the boys to show her around but Gawel said he was going out to meet up with Maja and to see her when he's back from work. Her sister did sense a force of resentment and Ludwik showed her around. The mistake Delia made was of asking how their stepmom was treating them, and all heaven halted. Ludwik told her to cut the toxicity she was on about and that it's not surprising why Gawel chose going to work, he did saw through her that she's here for all the wrong reasons. She apologized but was too late. When back their stepmom asked how she felt and Ludwik said she's not planning on staying long and that she would be going back the following day. Ma'am Fiogr noticed that there's something else to it but kept putting a smile regardless. Ludwik then went to his bedroom to call Gawel to let him know what had just transpired and feeling pain for his mom. He even on that night offered to cook so Delia have no chance to do whatever evil she was planning on. Ludwik never slept that night. He guarded the door of Delia's room. She had no reason to come out as all the bedrooms were en-suite and more.
First thing in the morning Ludwik put their house help in charge of all the chores and also offered to assist where help was sought. Delia came out with no smile on and said she had to go before 7:30 a.m due to a call for a job interview last night. It was questionable but none said a thing except wish her well. Ludwik was hit by the worst shock of all witnessing her mother asking for her sister to furnish her with her banking details for her fare and job interview carry money. She went to the bedroom and a beep from Delia's fone made her freeze, she was instantly a millionaire. She transferred to her €2,9 mln to send her off. Delia didn't have any words to say how thankful she was and Daxel put out a €1000 to pay for her fare in cash instead of plastic ironing. Delia was so regretful that she just collapsed with the love she received unlike what her mother said it would be like. She left without eating her breakfast because she couldn't contain the embarrassment anymore. It was a sweet humiliation and Ma'am Fiogr knew what she was doing. A minute after she left Ludwik said why he said what he said, and he was forgiven as such for the way he badly handled it. Daxel respected his wife more after that.
Some weeks later the boys set out to do something that shamed their father and the entire Dudenski family when they had their surnames changed from Dudenski to Fiogr. It really sent them to the South to ask for some Eastern salt. Though saddened by that move, supported them and wished them well in their endeavors as the Fiogrs. It was publicized and that controversy took them to higher levels. Their profiles were now better than before and treatment was worse, always the ones skipping queues. The Dudenski family later on challenged the move by the boys legally with blame on their in-law but on record the Fiogr boys' lawyer purveyed a stormy conduit of contraceptive legalese that bloated their comprehension and off the record the boys asked them to fabricate a surname for them that'll be more prominent than Fiogr. It left the Dudenskis with warm rum on a partially cloudy numb state. The boys made matters worse when they said they wished that their father could join them. That closing saw the elders pack themselves in order and in sequence following another out of the court reception.
To the Dudenski family it was clear to them that Daxel is weak and powerless in his marriages, and his younger brother told him straight to his face that he in his previous marriage complained about his wife influencing his daughter against him and all those other stories, but then he needed to look at his role playing in his marriage. Daxel that very day sat his boys down to understand why that move and what unglued them to Dudenski. The boys were clear to him that his surname held no commercial benefit to their growths and that promoting it a cost to them as it's hard to differentiate themselves from the populated pack. He got it. Fiogr was instantly cognizant to the recipient's region of knowledge. It was a relief to him and he went to his wife to talk about it. Lina was lukewarm about it and worried it'll be the end to their marriage as it hit her with a shocker than it a surprise. Daxel told him about his talk with the boys and she showed a huge relief. It made business sense. And he asked for advice from her on what to do going forward, and she said he better encourage them to use a double barrel surname formation like she does. That chat was a turning point for the history of marriage in Poland.
Daxel called his boys and together headed to the Superintendent Registrar and made a joint application to add Fiogr to their surname. They were from that moment going on became known as the Dudenski-Fiogrs. They kept it under wraps until Ma'am Fiogr was cordially invited to a high level announcement session that she wasn't given a clue about except that it's something big and a remarkable moment in their family's history. She was flown to their new family holdings headquarters in their home city. From above she didn't understand what D-F FH meant which was in bold on top of some high rise building she once remarked about when passing with Daxel some many odd years back. Out of the maxicopter she was awed by Dudenski-Fiogr Family Holdings in front of the building unveiled once she opened the door of the flying machine. It was a big surprise, she ran to Daxel and hugged him long and passionately before she called on the boys to a circle hug and saying to them "thanks we made it, thank you all" and wiped her tears of joy. That gesture made them all weak and they all shed an indense tear.
The oneness move prompted Lina to put in her companies into that house and as a family run the business from one point of communication and reference. To be sure of his move to adding Fiogr to their surname was evident from the very minute he announced it to the world, Lud Publishing experienced a hike in earnings and recognition in the industry and from the public. The Dudenski family kept quiet as they were informed of the 5% that they'll be getting semiannually. To Daxel's dismay, one by one the Dudenskis started adding Fiogr to their surname and soon it was normal in their family to do so as they started being known as the Dudenski-Fiogrs. The marriage became stronger and the boys helped in rebuilding of the headquarters. The story of the building dates back to high school days when Lina used to talk about one day owning it when she has her big business and have all of her employees work from there. 28 years later after she had enquired about it from the state with no success, Daxel did it for her. As a unit they worked day and night to see it back to its former glory before it was gutted in a protest. All the main offices of their businesses were housed there. They were there as a family with each heading their entity.
As the building was a museum, the huge bonus that came with that building was a large strong room. All of their important stuffs were in there. The other lower part of the building was used as offices for rental. They earned a passive income soon after they received all the capital back plus 15% interest. Polish citizens started changing their mindsets around the issue of surname as men were in small numbers starting to convert to their spouse's surname while many started to use double barrel surname formation. In an interview with Ludwik on TV, Daxel out of happiness in his marriage and pride of his family's social standing, spoke out to the public about how much he learned and still learn daily from his wife on how to raise powerful boys, on running a big successful company, on shaping a family plan, on how to sell your dream and keep working on it with your family, on how to be a better family head who leads with function than rule, on how to never give up on love and in others, and managing a power couple's relationship with self, family, friends, stakeholders and property attached to every category they're housed in. It left the presenter speechless for a second, and a hug from his son. Asked what he learns from his father as a parent and a business partner, Ludwik said: "actually there're lots of to mention, but then again, can't credit him solely without our main bonding ingredient, our mom. Dad taught me to be found in spaces no other expect you to be found, to have no doubt of your ideas, being your better version with every opportunity availed for you to do so, to be living your life with mistake to rectify all the time, to be you, and as for mom, (with tears in his eyes and a tearing tone after a huge sigh gap) she constantly teach us about second half of your life done better, to love yourself and your vision, to never mind the process of reinventing oneself, to point wrongful action without any judgment, (another sigh) there's a lot I learn from that incredible human being I so much adore, the woman who gave our family it's own identity, it's own secret, the values to live by as a family. I am here because dad never shared us with the wrong world, he knew where to direct us and today we're shining together as a big successful company running family, a dream only written in classic scribblers and never revisited because it is to some unreal. Thanks dad for your courage and mom's belief in us. Thank you." "You are grown my boy, thank you too" as they hug again. The presenter went for an ad break.
Back home they found a feast prepared to thank them for their best representation of the family. One home assistant came to say to them that they indeed are an inspiration to them. To add to the mix, Ludwik received a text from Delia thanking him for the love he gave to her and to the family for another chance at life, and proud to be sharing the same blood as them. She asked for her stepmom's numbers but Ludwik said he'd pass the message to her rather even though she'd liked to thank her specially. Ludwik has a good heart but doesn't want to be taken for granted or allow for anyone to take advantage of his goodness or kindness of someone he loves and his sister remembered that and made peace with it.
The following afternoon an invitation was received by Gawel to Maja's engagement party. The photographer was serious about her. Gawel went with Ludwik to support her. Ludwik was the hit attraction while Gawel was in a corner sipping on a cordial and fruit juices unlike his brother who's the premixed gins man. Going back home was a challenge but was clear they had fun. On her wedding day, Ma'am Fiogr-Dudenski was in the VVIP marquee together with Daxel. The boys were alone somewhere in the mix. Maja's family got to finally meet the Dudenski-Fiogr family after a long time of hearing and seeing the boys on screen. Maja's younger sister was so in the face of Ludwik but nothing ever happened.
As she saw from a thread on social media about a partner in Gawel's Pro was getting married during the weekend, Delia drove there with the knowledge that she'll meet up with the Dudenski-Fiogrs. It did happen and she sat down with her dad first before joining them together and apologized for her last encounter and also her gratefulness over the kick start into her better life. She entailed what she did with the money and that her mother was so sorry. Ma'am Fiogr-Dudenski gave her a hug and they enjoyed the ceremony as a family though Gawel and Ludwik were vigilant about her movements. Delia later hugged and said goodbye with that smile her dad knows of. He knew by then that she was genuine about her intentions and he appreciated that.
The following week Daxel suggested that they finish writing Lina dax, and Lina knew how to make him happy and she said why not? It took them longer than they had anticipated as they were working on stabilization and growths of their businesses, and but ultimately they came to the installment of 'Lina Dax' and it was no longer a possibility of hiding her true identity, but she didn't bite. Instead it was published still with as Araya Guere, with the promise that she'd reveal all in her final paper inking of her final book yet to be titled. With Lina Dax it was a hit because of the surname first before the content. It was an easy read with a touch of its own as it starts amateurish with progression until it leaves you ending with a bag of bangs in the last 3 chapters with a more mature and refined storyline. "It's a journey into the style of writing and the process of the authors' development" one review stated. It was truly different and remarkable how they achieved that with two minds. It was sadly still unmasked how Araya Guere managed to keep her profile so low that none ever unearthed her true whereabouts. Many an investigative journalist tried unsuccessfully until she herself revealed in a book that she co-authored with her collaborators each roling in one chapter of the book. She outdone herself in that one, everyone who read it raved about it. It was even adapted into a series. It was shot at DF studios and launched them into the big time melting pot of magic makings. 'SHE Guere' topped the charts. It made the family proud. Production was by Nikodim Fiogr, a son of her now deceased uncle and makeup by Delia. The family grew closer gradually...dp

The meeting was stepping on the effort to recover losses from the electioneering campaign trail run. RKP won for the first time in 41 years of its formation, thanks to multi-millionaire Dennis Marschoff. He said to his partners about his choice and newly elected president that: "A black man's failure is hard on his own people because he never admits to it. My friends, rest assured there won't be said again anything bitter about him once we are done with this plan, place your cabal plates on the table and see how full they are to be with comestible debris. Crush him not yourselves, lend him a single tick to his self-defeat, you know how trusting their type is. Gentlemen, we all know you didn't put me here at your echelons for a better reason than controlling their sorry government. They have no power, it's all ours, they've got no influence, we placed them in positions of authority. Text your powerhouses for a story of malice to give him something to keep busy with, and at the same time give him three calls in succession to drive him up the wall. As his master, I'll receive a call from him and when he asks for advice I'll tell him to close the phone until I instruct him to open it again. He's our puppet you know, never the one to upset me, he'll be ready to sell his own for his crumbs the next morning."
Garry: "Marschoff, are you sure of all this after your episode with his daughter?"
Dennis: "or you want me also with yours?"
Garry: "now you're getting out of line!"
Dennis: "then why worry about her? You should've seen her squirming for more of my wbc."
Frank: "okay, we heard you. What's the fallacy of this time?"
Dennis: "economies the world over are dwarfing ours because of failed reforms from our Presidency, says economists."
Frank: "I love the angle. Let's start sharing with varileaks for quick spread this time around."
Garry: "true, of late it's the public's trusted source. Press that blood button, hahaha."
Dennis: "your wisdom, I shouldn't let it rub off to my wife, it's too not good for one head."
Frank: "if that's a compliment, I shouldn't be flapping my wings 'cause I know you are working on me to wag your tail to mine instead."
Dennis: "your wife despises me, why should I be wasting my thoughts of desire on her? Besides, I've got a truck load of chocolate yummies fighting over my creamy caramel stick."
Garry: "that's it, shalom ladyboys'"
Dennis: "says who? Look who's going all verbal on us. The scrub that hates every minute with real men in the showers."
Frank: "hahaha, I knew it! You called for it. Next time high hanger."
Dennis: "how many bites so far low hanger?"
Frank: "you too,,it's on 11K hits, you may do your thing too. I'll be on roam. Later."
Dennis: "xap xap." The melophile went straight to his car and on hitting ignition the car became alive and reversed. He is loud and fast driving, a classic cheap thrill seeker.
Eyeing the biggest energy generation solution contract ever in Africa's history, Dennis backed the new president whom his mother was a domestic worker. His father left them to fight the apartheid regime and rumoured to have crossed the border and nothing was ever heard of him again. The Marschoffs did everything for him and his sister. Dennis has always been a klein baas to his mother and them without any doubt, and also were no questions when he used to invite his sister to the house for homework. Dennis had a soft spot for black femininity from his young age. It fascinated him in a way unimaginable to some segregationists of that era. His oddity was a mystery to his family and to Tifhoma, the now president, a secret they never shared with anyone as there existed a silent pledge of sorts between the two. Dennis loved to command Tifhoma to undress and have him watch and touch his body at times with eyes closed in soft hummings. At times they hummed together, it was some deep unexplainable ritual he did with him whenever his parents were away. One bad thing about their relationship was that it was under carpet. None knows about their history. In fact, anyone who connect the dots never lived to narrate their eureka.

They have no power, it's all ours, they've got no influence, we placed them in positions of authority. Text your powerhouses for a story of malice to give him something to keep busy with, and at the same time give him three calls in succession to drive him up the wall. As his master, I'll receive a call from him and when he asks for advice I'll tell him to close the phone until I instruct him to open it again. He's our puppet you know, never the one to upset me, he'll be ready to sell his own for his crumbs the next morning."
Garry: "Marschoff, are you sure of all this after your episode with his daughter?"
Dennis: "or you want me also with yours?"
Garry: "now you're getting out of line!"
Dennis: "then why worry about her? You should've seen her squirming for more of my wbc."
Frank: "okay, we heard you. What's the fallacy of this time?"
Dennis: "economies the world over are dwarfing ours because of failed reforms from our Presidency, says economists."
Frank: "I love the angle. Let's start sharing with varileaks for quick spread this time around."
Garry: "true, of late it's the public's trusted source. Press that blood button, hahaha."
Dennis: "your wisdom, I shouldn't let it rub off to my wife, it's too not good for one head."
Frank: "if that's a compliment, I shouldn't be flapping my wings 'cause I know you are working on me to wag your tail to mine instead."
Dennis: "your wife despises me, why should I be wasting my thoughts of desire on her? Besides, I've got a truck load of chocolate yummies fighting over my creamy caramel stick."
Garry: "that's it, shalom ladyboys'"
Dennis: "says who? Look who's going all verbal on us. The scrub that hates every minute with real men in the showers."
Frank: "hahaha, I knew it! You called for it. Next time high hanger."
Dennis: "how many bites so far low hanger?"
Frank: "you too,,it's on 11K hits, you may do your thing too. I'll be on roam. Later."
Dennis: "xap xap." The melophile went straight to his car and on hitting ignition the car became alive and reversed. He is loud and fast driving, a classic cheap thrill seeker.
Eyeing the biggest energy generation solution contract ever in Africa's history, Dennis backed the new president whom his mother was a domestic worker. His father left them to fight the apartheid regime and rumoured to have crossed the border and nothing was ever heard of him again. The Marschoffs did everything for him and his sister. Dennis has always been a klein baas to his mother and them without any doubt, and also were no questions when he used to invite his sister to the house for homework. Dennis had a soft spot for black femininity from his young age. It fascinated him in a way unimaginable to some segregationists of that era. His oddity was a mystery to his family and to Tifhoma, the now president, a secret they never shared with anyone as there existed a silent pledge of sorts between the two. Dennis loved to command Tifhoma to undress and have him watch and touch his body at times with eyes closed in soft hummings. At times they hummed together, it was some deep unexplainable ritual he did with him whenever his parents were away. One bad thing about their relationship was that it was under carpet. None knows about their history. In fact, anyone who connect the dots never lived to narrate their eureka.
Tifhoma lived under the shadow and mercy of big unkind brother Dennis for his entire life, and not about to be free even though he was silently fighting for same. Dennis realized Tifhoma's heart and head in politics, and shifted him from the liberation thoughts, he told him were nonsensical, and introduced him to a new "libretto la politika". Dennis schooled him patiently while hog training him to his tune of lay command chain as a white's black, in prep for a lead role as an ideate black's black in a black dominated economy. He was made to know that indifference a peep into difference in taste, which is in turn a reversed thick of creams for feel. He learned him about ranks and internal etiquette. He released him back to his people as a new breath of fresh air into the political sphere. His inputs were sharp and hard to ignore and donations started coming in thick with his name on the rider. It left the party with no choice but to bow to the tap openers to have what they want, and that's Tifhoma. Party leadership hopefuls cried foul and tried punching holes in his image but nothing concrete came out, he was credible.
During the elective campaign season his name featured yet him not mentioning anything to signal his interest and it was at the elective conference that when his name was called that he expressed his interest to lead. He won and was feared by opposition party leaders though in true sense worshipped him. Tifhoma was admired for his different take on the ills of the past and present. He talked to the nation not in demographics but rather as concerned citizens of the country who needs to hold each other's hand and go to the source of the problem together to solve it. He said all good things Dennis taught him and told him to say. His deputy was a woman, tough and incorruptible, the right material that the public looked at for their better lives. RKP had a good day in the cabinet for a start until media pulled a big one punchline of a reveal on her scandal with a lecturer at varsity for an answer.
Nesberth Umemo, a first born of 3, once had an affair with a lecturer for a brief 5 months so she could have better results in a course that was tough for her. The new findings on her shook her and questioned her integrity and fitness to hold office. It took Tifhoma to quell that when he said everyone has had that push from pressure to make it that we're regretful of later on in life, and the public looked at that scandal in a different light. Nesberth respected him because he wasn't of the same political party as her yet defended her position. He won favour from two big players in the political landscape, a first in the country. He was trustworthy. First 100 days speech which was expected to be by him, was made by deputy president while him was busy tailoring the energy ministry tender that was given to Dennis's company. They agreed on it with the panel and the minister made the call to the Secretary of the company's board for a formal announcement.
The next morning it flooded the economy about how people's energy will be used as a solution for power supply. Dennis's face was everywhere and everything else wasn't news for the two days of being announced. Human Energy Power or HEP is conversion of the energy released from humans when they sleep or walk or breathe, the energy is harnessed through air bricks via suckle ducts into the inverter that is connected to the old grid. The bad news of it though was when nobody is at home, your energy consumption devices and others alike may depend on the other grid if the energy stored is low, which makes your electricity bill high still. It forced active lifestyle as people have to be busy when in the house. HEP energy drew attention from all governments globally as a new alternative source of energy that's of our responsibility to generate.
The signing of the contract saw Tifhoma a relieved man. By this contract alone it came as no surprise that Dennis is a man who toppled the world's richest men and women off as he came from being ranked number 493 in global list to 11 and catapulted to number 1 in Africa's rankings. With that reported of him in just day two of his new found love from the world's largest media houses, Tifhoma thought as president and having given him such status he would be free. He was called by the top body of the party to address the tribal council and he did. He said a lot of good on the new direction for the country's fiscal policy and market positioning. He was cheered as the international community spewed bile. The heist conference quickly reached Dennis's attention and he reached out to his fone.
At the Marschoff quarters, the country's answering leader, Pres. Tifhoma Lerin Mrombongkani, was in hot waters for having promised his party elders his support for a shift in the market position from being consumer based to producer based without prior knowledge and input of his makers. He got summoned by Dennis, who keeps reminding him of his position at every given turn of a wrong take. He invited him into his cigar chamber for a frank ashapement, and he said to him: "power is the responsibility to regulate and leadership is the science of control of self, others and things, hence there's only influence and authority below power. Life was made to be simply livable, but designed to be tough by men with power, and I today am one man with power, so, see to it that you're a better doormat to feel your worthless future for me under my soles. When they clap in cheer of you, remember they cheer my decision over you. You lead them but not me. RKP is bigger than you, not me and mine. Your blackness a ticket for favour and privilege, so, don't get rotten so easily."
Pres.Mrombongkani: "chief, I'm thankful again for the opportunity. Sorry for having had offended you. It won't happen again."
Dennis: "I was starting to think maybe you are not the nation misleader I was in charge of anymore. Don't play outside of your game board, there's a reason why I've placed you here in the first half of the operation. Don't let me leave you at the extreme edge for your fall. Think of your vision of my vision, your family, your big titled status. I'm your master, don't test my powers ever again! Cease stepping on the tiles of your choice, ask for my choice for you. Am I clear? Or maybe....."
Pres.Mrombongkani: "please don't get so upset, what should I not do next time my headship?"
Dennis: "play according to my plan, finish n klaar! Hoor jy?"
Pres.Mrombongkani: "it's just that the RKP's old guard was pressing for a straight quick answer during the tribal council, and as the party leader and the country's president, had to just say something."
Dennis: "an excuse. Don't test my good for your good. You should next time leave them and go to the toilet and call me from that VIP toilet seat for your answer. That way ek word nie gatvol wees nie."
Pres.Mrombongkani: "ek wou dit nie weer doen nie nongoloza."
Dennis: ja, jy ken dat, you're my father's favourite boy and I'm not ready to let you out to the losers world as yet. Keep your front tail in the right direction and remember the dark days of down when it's up, so you tame it."
Pres.Mrombongkani: "baie dankie nongoloza. But why sounds like you're in plans of kicking me out to the losers world?"
Dennis: "you gated the community of that group of words when you said you just answered, 'just'? Tifhoma!"
Pres.Mrombongkani: "oh that! I'm never going to utter that ever."
Dennis: "you hear again? Listen to yourself. It's not about utterance, moron, it's about your stupid doing. Don't take my opportunity for granted again, there's a reason for your presidency, focus. I have a bigger plan for you. Think of that whenever they politicize your placed self. You being there is an agenda, and that's my agenda, be good for it and I'll be late with my every thought of vengeance on you."
Pres.Mrombongkani: " you know I can't go back to that worthless life I led again, please!!"
Dennis: "it's okay. It all revolve in your palms. You toss and you're out, you keep it, you are in. None will spell it out everyday."
Pres.Mrombongkani: "sure, I know that. I'm starving, smelt some roasted lamb Zimeyo prepared for you. Can't keep up with my rumbling tummy."
Dennis: "I knew it, you and Zimeyo's hand are like snake and venom. Go poison yourself. And, don't forget the first number on your speed dial next time."
Pres.Mrombongkani: "I won't, and sorry again."
Dennis: "it's fine. Go ahead and feast."
After dinner, Ron Slemmiz, an editor in chief of a rival publishing house, arrived to see Dennis and to congratulate him on his 10 year ZAR28 trln state contract with his HydroPod startup. Ron questioned the presence of the president at Dennis's residence the very third day he got the deal inked with the energy ministry, and not stayed long. The president left not long after the leaving of Ron. The following morning he woke up to the breaking news of the untimely passing of business mogul Ron Slimmez. He immediately called Dennis and got a shock of his life hearing him say: "it's in the nature of sports cars to lose tyres when they can't handle speed anymore. Your roads aren't safe sometimes you know and same is with this mechanics of yours" and asked Dennis when did he know, of which he casually said: "just after he left." He was now getting to understand the ruthless side of him he didn't want to experience. Dennis closed the call by saying: "people need to make it an important habit to call when they are coming, not pass by as they wish, but not including you and your family." He dropped after realizing that Pres.Mrombongkani had frozen. For the whole day Pres.Mrombongkani felt bad about the truth he had to conceal.
The deputy president noticed that there's something wrong with the president and paid him a visit. He said nothing of what he knew of the death of Ron and he was buried with nothing surfacing. The deputy president dabbled in on some interviews to cover for the president and 3 days past the news of Ron, then Pres.Mrombongkani was better and was fully on about his duties. There was an annual ceremony that was coming that he was to attend but gave excuses to not attend. Garry Henderlay won its prestigious accolade, a bitter pill for the main man to swallow. When the event was over, Dennis went to Garry and said: "you may be the man of the hour but me, I am the man of all moments, the name badge says it self. You can't do no better than Marschoff, never, go back home for a better politic polish."
Garry: "I knew from the time they called me that I won't find joy in this. But still, the Henderlays took it this time around."
Dennis: "yaah yaah, good luck in keeping the title for the year, but know it won't last. You will be clapping for me soon, but so long, well done mate!!!"
Garry: "thank you. Let me run to the after party. See you." Dennis hates cheering for others, everything should be about him. It was his moment and yet failed to see that. He was 75% owner of HydroPod and had other businesses.
What's sad about the relationship between Dennis and Pres.Mrombongkani is that, Dennis doesn't give a damn about this man and his family, he still treated them as if they were pets. To Dennis, the Mrombongkanis were a project to him, he cared less about them in spite of his gains through them. One day he said to his partner: "erase never any self enslavement from a hero that fails to be one for themselves, make them die with a worry of having failed their promise to make you happy" and that's how it was to the Mrombongkani family. They did a lot for this man and his family, but he's never shared a single thank you except "you did well!!!" sentiment. He made his trustee a chief advisor to the president, and the RKP's first choice as the second best to the table. With the HEP project underway, Dennis pressured Pres.Mrombongkani for another big project. Dennis aimed for two lifetime setup contracts with the state and he'll be off, and but it took more than 3 months for Pres.Mrombongkani to find a lucrative project for him. By then it was already established that the HEP project was in actual fact worth more than the initio and had disbursement purse pegged to it for a whopping ZAR6 trln, bringing it to ZAR34 trln all in all. He had a deal with the Chinese to manufacture and install the duct units for a ZAR23 trln price tag. That in an instance meant Dennis and his partners had a windfall of 9 trillion that to Dennis rolled in ZAR6,471 trln to his name with ZAR4,829 trln after tax as deductions were cushioned by his fortune amassed already. He was the 3rd wealthiest person to walk and breathe the same air as other Africans. The world bowed and listened to him.

He was the 3rd wealthiest person to walk and breathe the same air as other Africans. The world bowed and listened to him.
Too much power on one head corrupted the already faulted soul. Dennis was out of sight for his family and partners, but made time for his cash cow president best boy. He bought a hotel and lived in it with some girlfriend. Pres.Mrombongkani frequented the hotel without bodyguards and in disguise. He made Dennis more happy on his birthday when he arrived to inform him of an ocean water purification plant that only his company Flinx could be awarded the contract. The deal was a mega project contract of a lifetime. Dennis had a proposal to desalt the ocean water for human consumption by construction of a desalination rig, for water security for a 4 countries bloc. It was worth ZAR1.468 trln per annum for 50 years. When it was quantified, meant that as a 100% holder of it he'll be taking home ZAR305 bln annually after all deductions.
On that night, he did what they never had done in years, undressing and hum as one for an hour. Pres.Mrombongkani had been dying to do that again with him for ages. The deputy president started to suspect there's more to the energy and water deals that goes undetected. Dennis picked up on it soon and the deputy president was entangled in a scandal that she wished she was never a politician. It was reported that she was caught bribing a journalist to run a smear campaign against the two big fairly awarded state contracts with fake notes worth ZAR4 mln stashed in a duffel bag. Then footage was availed showing her with a bag full of money at some hotel parking to hand it to him personally. Worse case was that she denied the transaction and experts from different institutions were invited to verify it of which all did, and a final nail on the head was of her own trusted advisor who too did verify and authenticated the trueness of the transaction existence. The following morning he resigned from the deputy president's advisory panel citing personal reasons. Hearing about her pending arrest, the deputy president stepped down with immediate effect. She was arrested and detained for an hour before making a police bail. It was a shaming shock that she too couldn't get her head around. She was pardoned after her admission of guilt, and unceremoniously dumped by her party for a new cadre to fill in.
Tombo Laurent Phembile was in as the new deputy and a friend to the president. Pres.Phembile understood the political landscape better than the ousted deputy. He worked well in support of the president for the entire year without any doubt and questions until the day Dennis sent him a gift that he wasn't sure what it was for. Pres Phembile called the president for a later appointment and then asked him about the gift of which he was surprised of, but said to him to take it and declare it in the gifts register. He thanked him for the advice and nothing major happened. The following morning he asked Pres.Mrombongkani why he wasn't having any gifts registered, and he answered that it was because he was never lucky to be surprised with any gift except from open ones shared with other party members and or with staff. The deputy president started doubting himself and but got assured by his party, the Congregated Soles for Democracy or CSD that he did no wrong, and that the president isn't fooling him for acceptance and registration of it.
Time passed by with the presidency oiled in harmonious relations. Then, Dennis got a chance to sit with Pres.Phembile in the parliamentary library after a portfolio committee briefing and talked about a host of topics and when they were about to part ways, left him not sure of what to make of this words. He said: "Politics is a fraternity and sorority of loyal genuflectors and bowers to the supreme minority, us. Dealing with them a tackle immediate to your tactile intelligence. Never paint characters with the same brush, but use the same energy when unmasking the true colors to their personalities. Be foolish to not do that unto business and political chameleons alike, and suffer the burden of proofing your disappointment to their tendencies in smogs without thinking of you when helping themselves to fog lamps you're left to need getting out." After them he pat him and walked away without looking back. He stood for a while looking at all the people doing ups and downs. It did shook him and walked out the assembly forecourt with eyes on his bodyguards and others out there. It dawned on him that something was up but couldn't put his tongue to the doubt nectar.
The seed of doubt planted in the deputy president's mind manifested with time as he started concealing some information and fiduciary intentions from both his party fellows and the president. Dennis was stepping the gas on his plan. Not long he invited Pres.Phembile to his hotel room and had a feast together without any word on his interests in him. Upon leaving he knew there was a follow-up to the invite, but 5 months went by without any word or sighting of one another. Then one day Pres.Mrombongkani overheard a telecon between Pres.Phembile and his advisor about a contract he's thinking of giving to Mr Marschoff for his hosting of him some time ago. The plan hatched was of their own though with Dennis's old family company, Marsch Holdings in the benefit line. As it was not involving him, quietly and calm Pres.Mrombongkani proceeded to his triangle office to resume with his fiduciary duties.
Sync 2
A good two weeks later, Pres.Phembile gave Pres.Mrombongkani a call to inform him of his intention to engage Marsch Holdings for a geostationary satellite service contract. Asking him how much that's worth, he said he's yet to quantify that. The way he hesitated before he had an answer gave it away that he already knew but couldn't justify it. "Who else does that kind of service?" he asked and Pres.Phembile said: "there're some out there but not best as Marsch." Hearing the line of the president's questioning, Pres.Phembile said: "maybe it's a bad idea I get it" so as to make the president feel bad and it worked. He got a green light to initiate that and just an hour later Pres.Mrombongkani received a call from Dennis thanking him for a good strategy of using the deputy president to reward him. Pres.Mrombongkani assured him it's not of his own doing as he only gave a press-on for engagement with him and not suggested. Dennis understood it was a token of appreciation that he was to return the token in kind for.
Marsch Holdings had 66,33% in Finx, a giant telecom towers, cable linking, and nano satellite services provider, which through they were getting a contract for. The deal was struck and signed in a month. Out of the whole ZAR1,774 trln during launch, the take home for Marsch was ZAR201,5 bln when factoring in the commission for the deal brokerage bonus. Over a period of 3 years, the contract will have paid them well over ZAR5,098 trln after tax. Dennis was now at the point of not knowing what to do with the money he's accumulating of which at that point toppled the second world's richest person to be number 2.
In a meeting to break the news to Marsch Holdings board, Dennis gave them a good report. They were more than happy and appreciative of his fruitful efforts. One board member, Mr Uericks said: "how did you structure the deal? Does it entail having those useless headaches of messes as our strategic fillers?"
Garry: "nope, this is strictly our deal as well. No outsider will contaminate it."
Dennis: "what's wrong with black blood? Isn't it that's giving us this security? Where's the sense of humanity in those utterances? Is that what you teach your children?"
Uericks: "at Uerum STV we don't tolerate their inclusion policies yet they come to us to give us money because they don't know anything and don't want to build any business of theirs. What kind of species are they if they fail to buy from their own? You tell me. And again, why change of heart today? What have they fed you?"
Garry: "me too am not sure if it's him today, haha."Dennis: "what's wrong with black blood? Isn't it that's giving us this security? Where's the sense of humanity in those utterances? Is that what you teach your children?"
Uericks: "at Uerum STV we don't tolerate their inclusion policies yet they come to us to give us money because they don't know anything and don't want to build any business of theirs. What kind of species are they if they fail to buy from their own? You tell me. And again, why change of heart today? What have they fed you?"
Frank: "okay, alright, time up. Guys this guy's onto building something with those people, let's tone down and focus on the real reason for now we're here for, CFO I saw your hand raised. Please go on."
The CFO: "worry not, that ZAR1 bln was on aggregate, they won't make it to the next because they'd be long gone thinking they robbed us and not wanting claw backs. They dislike each other by nature those ones. I transferred to each of them ZAR108 mln and logged the transaction on high tax exposure alert so it saves us some, of which we still came back from it with ZAR88 mln they don't even know is outstanding."
Frank: "I am puzzled gentlemen. What's the plan?"
Dennis: "thank you. I'm sitting here listening to them, none saying a thing on planning."
The DoO: "for operations we need to have the risk profile of this project so I develop a thorough projection scope."
Dennis: "I already have a requisition of all MoUs that will be required with the space agencies in involved territories. I believe by month end we'll be having at least 9 if not 10 of the 16 ones we need."
Board member: "I thought I saw 24 written somewhere on the section of the satellite services provider renderings."
Uericks: "that's true, but because your low comprehension stats went gaga over the low hanging fruit you failed to read the bold print. It's written 16 satellites at the initial stage and 8 after. Go check that in tortoise pace, thanks."
Frank: "I propose closure so we go back and redraw, come back readied than today."
CFO: "seconded."
The meeting adjourned and Garry's son-in-law was still too far, so he went home with Dennis.
Along the way Garry tells him of how sometimes others don't appreciate the levels of their personal brands' value. He went on to the value created from being associated with them, and Dennis asked him: "then you, don't you appreciate the value I contributed into your personal brand?"
Garry: "apart from me being there with you from day one and that overlooked at most, you growing 300 times my worth, you leaving me out of deal seals of late, you picking first all the time women we entertain ourselves with, you belittling others including me at times, yes I do appreciate your contribution into my worth today."
Dennis: "are you lamenting my worth? Is it fair of you nogal? I found you earning a meagre ZAR60K a month and took you off the grid and today you're worth ZAR300 bln and still complain? The value of doctrine I imprinted in you isn't counting for anything? Right now, like you said just now, are a personal brand. If I was to say pay that back, how much will it leave you with? Dink oor my vriend!!!"
Garry: "ek mean dit nie so nie."
Dennis: "maar hoe? If you're busy on and on about my worth over yours forgetting the value I put in you. I built you as a stand alone system. Be proud of yourself instead. Aren't you glad even if you were to lose all your billions today you're to easily rise again thanks for the knowledge imparted to you? I'm so badly affected by what you just uttered. And so you know, starting from tomorrow I'll be on the lookout for a new shadower."
Garry: "are you serious? Like really? You think of replacing me after all that we've been through together?"
Dennis: "after all that we've been through, yes. Is that in refer to my deductions of you?"
Garry: "nee man, not that. I mean the life journey we had as one."
Dennis: "you see now? From when as one? I thought you found me alone and I roped you in and formed a unit together as a pair before Frank came knocking into the space."
Garry: "...eh, true."
The CFO: "worry not, that ZAR1 bln was on aggregate, they won't make it to the next because they'd be long gone thinking they robbed us and not wanting claw backs. They dislike each other by nature those ones. I transferred to each of them ZAR108 mln and logged the transaction on high tax exposure alert so it saves us some, of which we still came back from it with ZAR88 mln they don't even know is outstanding."
Frank: "I am puzzled gentlemen. What's the plan?"
Dennis: "thank you. I'm sitting here listening to them, none saying a thing on planning."
The DoO: "for operations we need to have the risk profile of this project so I develop a thorough projection scope."
Dennis: "I already have a requisition of all MoUs that will be required with the space agencies in involved territories. I believe by month end we'll be having at least 9 if not 10 of the 16 ones we need."
Board member: "I thought I saw 24 written somewhere on the section of the satellite services provider renderings."
Uericks: "that's true, but because your low comprehension stats went gaga over the low hanging fruit you failed to read the bold print. It's written 16 satellites at the initial stage and 8 after. Go check that in tortoise pace, thanks."
Frank: "I propose closure so we go back and redraw, come back readied than today."
CFO: "seconded."
The meeting adjourned and Garry's son-in-law was still too far, so he went home with Dennis.
Along the way Garry tells him of how sometimes others don't appreciate the levels of their personal brands' value. He went on to the value created from being associated with them, and Dennis asked him: "then you, don't you appreciate the value I contributed into your personal brand?"
Garry: "apart from me being there with you from day one and that overlooked at most, you growing 300 times my worth, you leaving me out of deal seals of late, you picking first all the time women we entertain ourselves with, you belittling others including me at times, yes I do appreciate your contribution into my worth today."
Dennis: "are you lamenting my worth? Is it fair of you nogal? I found you earning a meagre ZAR60K a month and took you off the grid and today you're worth ZAR300 bln and still complain? The value of doctrine I imprinted in you isn't counting for anything? Right now, like you said just now, are a personal brand. If I was to say pay that back, how much will it leave you with? Dink oor my vriend!!!"
Garry: "ek mean dit nie so nie."
Dennis: "maar hoe? If you're busy on and on about my worth over yours forgetting the value I put in you. I built you as a stand alone system. Be proud of yourself instead. Aren't you glad even if you were to lose all your billions today you're to easily rise again thanks for the knowledge imparted to you? I'm so badly affected by what you just uttered. And so you know, starting from tomorrow I'll be on the lookout for a new shadower."
Garry: "are you serious? Like really? You think of replacing me after all that we've been through together?"
Dennis: "after all that we've been through, yes. Is that in refer to my deductions of you?"
Garry: "nee man, not that. I mean the life journey we had as one."
Dennis: "you see now? From when as one? I thought you found me alone and I roped you in and formed a unit together as a pair before Frank came knocking into the space."
Garry: "...eh, true."
Dennis: "you know Henderlay, it's sad for any plugger to hear some sentiments of their plugged over imperfections of the plug balance. I don't wanna lie. It hurts like nothing and honestly am better off with a new plugged shadower."
Garry: "I propose we cut this topic and see how we feel come tomorrow. What do you think?"
Dennis: "is this still the last robot to your place?"
Garry: "yes it is. But then....."
Dennis: "where's the HEP brief by the way?"
Garry: "you haven't answered my question still about....."
Dennis: "hope to see you then as I recall its project manager said tomorrow at 11."
Garry: "why get me worried? What's wrong?"
Dennis: "why when you're so made?"
Garry: "why say that?"
Dennis: "we're business partners not boyfriends, I believe that sums it up."
Garry: "okay, tomorrow morning."
Dennis: "yaah, tot siens" and drove off. Garry didn't catch a wink of sleep that night going through their conversation. He tossed and turned, and called Dennis numerous times who answered by saying he's tired and still asleep.
The next morning Dennis went back to his family and apologized to his wife for his behavior. Asking him why, he told her that "all those huge money figures were new to him" and she laughed and said: "I know when you say the truth it means you do really mean your words. But first, I want a report on your status since I don't know what you were up to all this time." He said nothing and nodded in shame. It took Garry to make him see how jealous of him his partners and friends are while actually the very person who was there from the beginning was his wife, and she never claimed a spot. He called in a pathologist and did some tests in front of her. He was ready to do everything and be anything to gain her trust again. He was also thinking of his children and his adopted son as his new shadower. On the other hand, Garry drove to the hotel to talk to him and make amends, albeit the main man of all moments was nowhere to be found. He called him and didn't pick up. He went to work thinking he'd find him there but not. Dennis came late on purpose and left immediately thereafter.
Before he could drive off, Garry knocked on his window and he switched off his car. Garry asked where he was as he was at the hotel and checked everywhere possible but not found him. Dennis then asked: "you checked everywhere you say? I mean everywhere possible?"
Garry: "yes, and couldn't find you."
Dennis: "that's why you couldn't find me. You checked everywhere possible, not where impossible. Henderlay, thanks to you I not know of my wrong move since our blessed talk yesterday."
Garry: "sorry to have offended you. I was out of line and for that I really wish....."
Dennis: "don't worry I said. You're not in the wrong, you directed me to where it's impossible for me to be checked, and am going back there even now. As of today you're free to be whoever you want to be as whatever you are. I have been redeemed. My new shadower is about to take over from where you stopped. Thank you partner." Garry with tears in eyes said: "I knew that him driving me there was a bad idea. I'm sorry man. And what does this mean to us?"
Dennis: "aren't we partners?"
Garry: "ja ons is, maar dit word nie ook....."
Dennis: "I'll always love and respect you as a partner, question that not. It changes nothing."
Garry: "sorry to ask,,but, who's replacing me?"
Dennis: "my own shadow. Let me go to my never thought of "where" and see you tomorrow." He drove off. Minutes later Garry called him to understand what had happened between them and Dennis said to him: "I never thought you were seeing me for how you do. That talk gave me a lot of feedback. The last place you never even thought I'd be is where I'm heading to, thanks to you. My shadower is the last person you're ever to see fit thanks to you also. Thanks for the best contribution you have ever had in my life with you. See you tomorrow." Sad thing was even with that continua he didn't get it still.
Garry: "I propose we cut this topic and see how we feel come tomorrow. What do you think?"
Dennis: "is this still the last robot to your place?"
Garry: "yes it is. But then....."
Dennis: "where's the HEP brief by the way?"

Thanks for the best contribution you have ever had in my life with you. See you tomorrow." Sad thing was even with that continua he didn't get it still.
It took 5 days for them to meet again, and it really was noticeably different that time around Henderlay could tell, and so did everyone. Dennis was with his stepson, Timothy, who was quiet most of the times as he was told to be observant. His interaction was only with his father through whisper, and that to Garry a serious concern as he wanted to know what they were talking about. He didn't trust Dennis's latest decision making and his son saying nothing to them. During a long call Dennis was onto, Garry tried to make small talk with Timothy but didn't work as he just nodded and shifted. He wanted nothing from anybody to distract him. Garry was feeling the heat, thinking how things were 9 days ago.
A few days later Pres.Mrombongkani had an invite to have a lunch break in Dennis's office with his son. None of the partners was allowed in and what they discussed was never shared. When the president was leaving they called on Garry, Frank, the COO and the CFO to say their salutary greeting bids, and that's when Timothy had a direct communication with them. It was so unnatural to Garry as he was used to being in that position of influence and now down to authority and far from his thought to be friend partner. The president left and the space went cold for him in a sourish minute.
Weeks passed without any word on what the president's meeting was about and also nothing to be heard of any deal to be entertained in the board room. Timothy made a call to Frank as the MD to inform the GM, Garry, that the president will be at their home to visit, just in case anyone was to hear anything about that and that they were not invited. Garry asked Frank where exactly did Dennis stay if Timothy is saying at their home since he left home long time ago. Frank said to him: "I never asked myself why you were left out in the cold of your relations with him, you were never close to him no wonder."
Garry: "what do you mean?"
Frank: "Dennis stays with his family."
Garry: "no ways man! Since when?"
Frank: "since the night of the day or after the first meeting of geostationary satellites with Uericks. His stepson said that."
Garry: "Dennis se wat?"
Frank: "yes he has,,,a stepson, Timothy."
Garry: "ag nee man!!! Jy bedoel?"
Frank: "I don't get your language perfectly right sometimes, but yes,,Timothy. Garry, you were never close to that man than he is to himself. You were his friend but not a confidant. Learn to leave with that."
Garry: "why me? What wrong have I done?"
Frank: "your success with him was trying to place me out of the quadrant. You missed your 90° in his Cartesian plane, and that's why."
Garry: "I don't know what you are on about. This's all foreign to me. And my mistake again?"
Frank: "the day he took you off from the COO position to GM and me from CIO to MD, was the day you should've seen your demotion. He was the MD before he took on the Chairmanship. I found you in but I became your senior by hierarchy. Your crush of thi Sen is ladyboys. Why say that? Is there something you know of us that you're reminding us of? Think always before you say anything as he never close a sentiment as just a sentence but rather a statement of affirmation or appreciation, his vocab is as that simple."
Garry: "how come you know this stuff and I don't of him?"
Frank: "ladyboys, hahaha."
Garry: "is that all?"
Frank: "you drilled holes in his jeans pockets and were calling out his stretch in the warmth of his thicketies."
Garry: "but he never said a thing."
Frank: "you still don't underline highlights that's why. You were never close to him. I know that of you two. But, worry less as it made you wealthier than some of us if there's any consolation to that."
Garry: "why are you content still with that?"
Frank: "my association to you guys made me a billionaire, something I never dared dream of about me. 182 today,,,how many people died as millionaires and wishing to be there? He's a trillionaire, I'm fine with that as I'll never amount to his person, his vision, his thinking, his all, he's different in a special way, but elated to be found in spaces where he's found, connected to his being, and seen by him as an important part of his life. To me, it's more than enough for such recognition of me by his type. People are there for you when there's nothing of them to lose on you and something for them to gain from you, and he gave us all instead of him share something. Marsch Holdings is his and but me and you hold its flesh for others to touch as skin to associate with, how big of you do you want to go? Today the world over, you matter, all because of his risk with our then worthless statuses he turned to this we are. That miserably incredible man walked me tight ropes of disbelief. I'm eternally grateful to him and you for the loan you declined to give me in pursue of me to join you rather. I have status, worth, knowledge and resource, but chances of my fall are plenty hence I choose to stick with him because nothing I'll do outside of this will ever surpass his. I can't risk my loss of any of that I have as am. When I thunk of what I did and still do with him he can't with you, things I do for him he can't ask of you to, but can do and ask of you all those anyone can do, makes me feel important. He is safe with you, ask yourself why. Be appreciative, your cue to grow is now." Garry got lost in the moment for some time and pat Frank on his shoulder saying "thank you", of which foolishly Frank said to him he should pat his butt, and they burst into laugh. Garry spent the latter part of that day quiet and sifting through auld lang syne conversations with him to unbundle his downfall plot for a reconstructed retake.
A day later, Timothy had a chat with Garry about his role in the business, and in a snap sent him to a panic mode. He asked him for a restart and Timothy got a shock that he ended up cutting the caucus and exited the space straight to Frank. In chat with Frank he established that Garry was regretful of his behavior to his father and had nothing to do with him. He called his father to fact check by him before his next move, and realized it wasn't urgent to attend to him. Garry was angry at self for the chance he wasted, his glow wasn't that luminously fluxed anymore, and his relevance was waning with Dennis at his outskirts. His regret was snowballing at a hyperbolic pace.
The government sent a request to meet up with delegation from Marsch Holdings for a presentation on the future of HEP and to his sunk Garry wasn't invited. The presidency was happy with the repurposed vision and fears allayed of media reports doing rounds that coffers of the service provider were dry, but that in itself played to their favour as they requested an adjustment to the project budget. They were granted a further 2 trn to see a smooth completion of the project, with possible adjustments every 4 years. Frank, out of that adjustment was guaranteed a fat ZAR144 bln bonus, which combined to his 182 whistled a mind blowing ZAR326 bln with the promise of more bonuses with every successful seating for contract adjustments. He was now asbove Garry with worth and kept silent, and Timothy having earned his first fat virtual pay of ZAR121 mln. He couldn't get enough space to fit in his tiny frame with excitement. He cried the whole night. His father had back then given him a tear washing ZAR9 mln on his 16th birthday. Today at 19, he's ZAR127 mln richer. Peers envy him and he was given two days off. As it's in his nature, Garry made a move to fill in but bite the bitumen as Dennis flew out with his wife to negotiate a deal for her new hair care products range. It left him frustrated as Frank was in the know of things more now and him last to hear.
Garry too took some time off and emerged as a new owner of a plastic bottle manufacturing company. He was of the view that it will position him with the deal after it was reported done. He opened an office not far from Marsch so his company be strategically positioned to MadAboutHair offices. Dennis after seeing how Garry is trying, sent Timothy to engage him and he was over the moon and agreed to any deal just so he could be in the good books again. They struck the deal and he was pleased with the prospect of doing business in extension to what they are on with Dennis.
From their first meeting it was pleasant and the partners were all in. Within 3 weeks production started, and everything went smoothly. They pushed for 8 months and his main production line came to a halt. He called in the maintenance team and within hours they were back on and again after a month and a half it happened. Garry called his master, Dennis, for guidance on the way out as he was losing credibility. Dennis told him to ask for a recon figure and do comparison with a new one to find if it's viable to buy another or repaired one. He said the figures and he advised he go for a repair and but do a research on a more reputable manufacturer to buy from to avoid any future breakdowns. It took a full day of non-productivity and calls were now referred to his office for them to field them. The following day he took a day off and was at Marsch. He went to be with Dennis in his office together with Timothy. That day was a blessing to him in that Timothy opened up to him and had a layout of his operation and showed him loopholes in his business. While his head was reeling, Dennis accelerated the speed and added 4 more critical aspects of miss in his production. The 3 spent some time off Marsch stuff to attend to Garry's business, Plasbot. By the time he got out of Dennis's office he was drained and with no strength to go back to his business whilst Dennis said he'll find him there in 20 minutes or so.
In just over 25 minutes Dennis and Timothy arrived. The security officers went wild and Timothy felt never so proud of his father and grateful for being there with him to witness that magic he seems to be used to, that to him was new. Stepping in Dennis was already shaking his head pointing out at flaws he was seeing. Garry invited them up the stairs to go through the whole factory space. It was impressive he said, but a modern money guzzler. Timothy suggested they've seen enough and proposed they go to Garry's office. His office was nice and roomy, though not sufficiently airy. Timothy asked what his intention was of the business in terms of direction from there. From that they established that the owner had no exact vision in place for the establishment except an opportunity he targeted of working with a new brand. He then made a twist on their byes when he said to them that he didn't wish for them to leave. When asked how, he offered an equity stake in the business to them for consideration. Dennis told him they were not the solution he so much needed, but rather help for him lied in consultants. He talked in riddles and at the end then confessed to the truth that he was facing, saying that it ain't easy starting and running a business. In the same breath Garry proposed they buy him out so he focus on Marsch but still Dennis said it's too small for him to put his energy in, which was a blow to Garry. Timothy asked him how much it's worth and Garry said around ZAR60 mln and Timothy said if he did a deal with him he could give him ZAR100 mln. He said that if he gave it to him and they agree on him paying a lump sum after 12 months of operation. Garry said yes, and the two shook hands on it. For Garry it was a relief.

Several weeks later Garry passed by and found various changes in the floorplan layout, and that's when he understood his lack of acumen and experience failed his attempt. A few minutes in he started seeing opportunities he missed which Timothy maximized from. He then asked if it's possible to revisit their gentlemen's agreement and be partners rather. Garry's wish is to own a business, just that he's got no head for it. Timothy asked him how he thought they redo the deal, and it was a brick wall as he had no clue what they'd do it as. Timothy said he'd be fine with him as a silent partner, but Garry wanted to be active than passive. They had a full panel discussion on the whole operation of the business and Garry was in, he said nothing the entire seating until when they were about to close that he asked what a PLS plan was, and one young woman who was already done packing her stuff said to him, "why haven't you asked then so we be laid term? This means you got nothing out of today's seating." Garry sat and asked for her name, and she said her name was Ernita. Garry asked her to not come back to work from now on for her rude behaviour. Timothy said nothing and looked at them both. Ernita said, "if only you buy me out of my contract, I'll gladly do so Mr." Timothy still sat and said nothing.
After a still tense moment, Timothy said to Garry, it means Purchase, Logistics and Storage (PLS) plan, and stood up leaving the room. Everyone then stood up and followed him, leaving Ernita waiting for an answer from Garry, who kept quiet and later stood up and left her alone behind with no conclusion. Garry checked into the office and found Timothy to have left and called him. Timothy didn't waste time and minced no words as he told him to take back his company and reimburse him for his restructuring costs. Garry was in awe. Timothy said after that, that it'll be of no use to keep that staff as they'll never share the same views. Garry said his sorries and promised to never make part of the seatings and to be briefed by his partner Timothy after the fact. Timothy said nothing until he was done mumbling after his sorries. Then, he asked: "when do I get my investment back? Thought you heard me but understood you heard me not correct. I'm done, your behaviour said it loud to me, me and my team will never work in peace and as such can't be in business with you. Thanks for the brief opportunity though." Garry asked him why do that to his dream and Timothy said to him: "it's not me but you. There's a great difference between ownership of a business and management of it, and me running it with your ownership tendencies in the space won't work and I know for sure you won't stop. My dad taught me a lot about the louvre of good and bad in tendencies, and how to get around them before they influence you for better or for worse. This decision was necessitated by your bad tendency. I've noticed you took it the wrong way but got to save myself from future ungreats." The statement sent Garry to the cleaners and awash with soaking wet disbelief. He was back to square one just like that. Since it was a new management on production, MadAboutHair had a huge order made that alone Garry would fail to service. After announced that Timothy is no longer a part of the operation, 11 of his 14 people walked out. Garry paid him and made him worth 31 mln.
Timothy went on to buy another factory in the same city and signed a deal with his mother's company to produce for them a new type of container and came up with a special comb for them. The market response was positive and it grew them market share overnight. Timothy bought the motorized systems firm through a loan from Dennis. The robots were doing most of the operations and humans on manning the controller system. Instead of 83 strong staff he was having only 21 people. The price tag was hefty but the reward spoke a language many an investor likes talking, money making. He renamed the business to 4maxions and it had 6 assembly lines with 2 stations for every line. He managed to secure more contracts for other stations, compared to only 2 assembly lines found at Plasbot. Garry failed to keep up and sold it to a fine women group and they lost their deal with MadAboutHair over 4maxions. Garry never liked Timothy ever since that sour deal.
Pres.Phembile contacted Dennis's office for an appointment for a briefing on the other two mega contract projects. They honoured his call up and they had another adjustment to one of the two projects. The figure rose to an astounding ZAR1 trln flat and the deputy president got his daughter put into the payroll of MadAboutHair silently as a gift from Dennis. The other daughter was put into a foundation benefit scheme of Frank's brother, and went to study abroad for 3 years paid in advance. Dennis told his boy Pres.Mrombongkani about the gifts for his mini him. The following day Dennis went to buy a luxury submarine as a present for his birthday. After he went on and bought a new Curtlix Hybra pvt jet for his wife and a transfer of ZAR1,2 bln to Timothy's account. Timothy choked and froze when he received a notification. His stepfather is something else. He sent him a text that as a billionaire investor he should know it's not for spending on uselessies but on usefullies, and he laughed and same time responded by saying he got it in wraps not raps. He was a billionaire investor now. Later that evening the family had a feast and the two daughters were each given spend cards with ZAR16 mln to welcome them into the world of business and good life. Dennis's wife was happy as a multi-millionaire with ZAR713 mln to her name.
Time went by and Pres.Mrombongkani's term came to an end and to thank RKP, he was surprised to hear that Dennis donated ZAR250 mln to the party and that prompted the party to push for a second term but he said he wanted to go into business. That day he invited Dennis for the night at his parliamentary village house. He was alone with no bodyguards or anyone in. He wasted no time when he heard Dennis's knock. He called him out to the steam room and he invited him in. He told him he was yearning for them to go back to then and started humming. It took Dennis to adjust and they did enjoy. They shared the night in a weirdly wicked mood none other than them would feel to understand it. The president left his title and regained his former self, and Tifhoma was back. They discussed a whole lot and to his dismay, Dennis had a triple storey house built for his family with four parts, and the center being the main house where they all can meet if there's a need. Dennis took him to it in the morning and another surprise was his fleet of energy efficient cars. The two rekindled their ties and his estate was worth around ZAR380 mln. Tifhoma had no shares in any of his businesses but a school he so long been dreaming of in his name was waiting for his end of term to be opened. Built and furnished at the cost of ZAR478 mln, the connected school was one of a kind. It took 35 days for him to vacate the office and he did with a loud cheer from supporters, opposition, party members and leaders, business and the whole country. He was thanked for a good 5 year run.
Upon tour of his school, he was jubilant to be found in it, his soul connected with the space, and that made him forgive the bad treatment he received from Dennis as a president as he now understood the plan he kept telling him about. There was a typewriter artwork framed in his office done in Europe by a 25 year old artist via an email pic they sent him just a month ago. It fit his personality. There was a new student village which students will be accommodated for a discount if they were from his school. It was under the names of Dennis's daughters while next to it Dennis built a 24 hour mega mall boasting a high tech hospital, a night club, a call center, a leafy mobility dealership, a multiplatform mobility fuel refill and energy recharge station, an open plan bowling club, a clear view inside outside living 8-star hotel with own back tunnel entrance/exit, a radio station, a huge theater, transparent walled rental apartments, a class leading automated vehicle parking facility, underground casino, spa, steam gym, an adjacent glass foot bridge connected to a race course called TheGallop, with a rooftop park, rooftop pool and an open deck liquor serving eatery, cigar and quaff lounge, plus 6 helipads, art gallery, all next to a new development site for residence of the well-heeled. The estate will boast a stadium for soccer and rugby in one. It will on the other side cater for other sporting codes. Dennis did what none not thought of, and all registered as private property of Marsch Holdings, under management and care of Frank's newly founded property care and management firm, F Henderlay's. The contract pays a monthly premium of 2 mln. The mall, billed as Marsch Corner, is Africa's largest and one of a supreme kind with the most expensive sqm in Africa, and attracted Africa's and the world's richest consumer base.
One day Garry approached Dennis for a man to man talk. He asked first of his big misstep and how Dennis thought he could rectify it, seeing how wedged their relationship was and busy growing apart by the day. Dennis said: "sometimes it is not about the business but rather the one who runs it that it becomes a less likely winner if it were ever to be given a day's chance. And a dark horse will never be a bright horse because of its light skinned knight on its back. What I'm trying to stay on in your question is the fact that it took you to approach me after it took you to see of self as the righted benefactor in our coven. That on its own upsides many thoughts of what such an utterance can in time lead to if let to roam unreined." He then looked into his eyes and waited for him to say back his thoughts. Garry said: "I'm so sorry I never shared the right form of intellectual advance you came used to and expect from me. It was wrong....." and Dennis interjected: "it was honesty to me and good as it made everything be clear to me. What's dangerous is you now trying to smoke screen me, it's not on at all."
Garry: "thing is I was trying to show you my value in your worth. It just came out wrong I guess, but it meant no harm. Can we go past that and get back to where we were?"
Dennis: "I get you, but things are different and it's been a long 5,5 year gap or so if count back. The time you took cemented your utterance as affirmation of sorts."
Garry: "but why allowed me to do business with your family then?"
Dennis: "they're not me and they're their own personal entities that're entitled to explore things their own way, I can't get in the way, no. As for Timothy, he was damn sure of you until you gave the same prose you did me, and I acted surprised."
Garry: "he liked me?"
Dennis: "but then he moved from that disappointed memory and sees you as the shell of that memoir. In short, he forgave the unforgettable."
Garry: "no stress. Thanks. So, how do we work it out? I miss you my friend."
Dennis: "is this out of shame or jealousy or guilt?"
Garry: "all above, guilty as judged."
Dennis: "then you came to the wrong guy. I judge none."
Garry: "I was trying to cheer you, sorry my taste is out of style with your placement."
Dennis: "this's taking us to no belonging. Can't we try another time next year?"
Garry: "oh please, don't do that again with me I beg you. I am so sorry."
Dennis: "you shouldn't. I'm the one who was wronging the righteous, reason why henceforth I gave you space to be in your element. Sorry to have grown through you piggybacked. I guess the dividends have sanctified me or just sanitized my sanctum?"
Garry: "we both know we're here because of you not me. It was naive of me honestly and sorry about that once more."
Dennis: "and what's your verdict?"
Garry: "forgive me? I suppose."
Dennis: "done, long time ago. What's next."
Garry: "thanks, don't know what to say. I'm glad. Where do we start?"
Dennis: "you lead. I'll follow."
Garry: "I'll think about it. See you tomorrow."
Dennis: "thanks, much appreciated."
Garry: "bye my friend. Good to be back." Dennis laughed alone thereafter on his way to Frank.
Dennis: "why's it hard to not forgive?"
Frank: "goes to the bone of contention."
Dennis: "you reckon?"
Frank: "yes man, if it's bad and hurtful it'll only hit you should you forgive."
Dennis: "okay, I get it now."
Frank: "it can't be you having such lame answers in such a conversation. Who's cooked up your storm so successfully it got you worried?"
Dennis: "with so much to my brand there ain't no way I'll be off off balanced by anyone honestly. Just that I got off from a convo with Garry and he thought I was sleeping from a different tent as him all along."
Frank: "but,,,you've long foregone that hick or am I wrong!!!"
Dennis: "exactly my point. It was like he's
looking for a specific keyword out of our talk, but I failed him."
Frank: "let's hope it's not the case."
Dennis: "he can't be that bad, only not me to think like that of someone near me."
Frank: "and now! How long is that contract? I keep failing to get around the term. I know it's stupid but important."
Dennis: "tenurialship, I believe that's the word you're looking for actually. In there you'll find the clause 'interminable recurrency on renewal' which stipulates indefinite period unless you be the party to do things otherwise, something I won't be able to excuse you on. Don't turn that straightforward contract into a virago please, hahaha."
Frank: "is it performance based?"
Dennis: "yes it is. But I trust you won't waste an opportunity of that magnitude or maybe I'm wrong about you."
Frank: "no! You aren't wrong. I'll keep doing and being the best."
Dennis: "I now believe it's your time to be spreading your wings and fly higher and higher. Your generational path is wealthily paved."
Frank: "it's true when they said it takes care to take care of your caring, and here I am today revered everywhere I go and still spreading. Loyalty pays." With a nod Dennis signaled that they were getting late for the official opening ceremony. They went out to check on Timothy as he was losing track of his whereabouts due to his busy schedule of late before their way to the mall. Timothy had already left when they got there, and they proceeded to the mall.
Former president was there and so was the new president together with his deputy. 6 SADC heads of states honored the opening. The whole estate took ZAR44,8 bln to construct to finish, while land bought for a whopping ZAR57 mln. Dennis struck a mining deal with 3 heads of states and in the following week flew to those countries to finalize the business. It took him full two weeks and he was done with. He acquired controlling stakes in 5 mines and two smelters, and had Garry buy 176 trucks for all of the mines to transport his raw minerals. Garry was by then no longer unsure of his relations with Dennis. They rekindled their ties and had him ever loyal now that he got his second chance. Dennis and Timothy were ever busy and his wife more happier with every entry into a new market. She couldn't believe it when she was called by her banker to congratulate her on having registered her first bln to her name. It was a motivation on its own and that night she booked for her and her husband a presidential suite at a 9 star hotel in Dubai and flew out. She was not believing it's her and he told her that one day she's going to be a trillionaire if she kept accelerating like that. They had a good 3 day outing and came back refreshed. Humble Tifhoma secured an appointment with Timothy to discuss his growth strategy around his school and Timothy referred him to Ben Loti, an associate of his father and Ben was welcoming. Ben said growing the array of their courses and opening online classes and also opening more schools will ensure him growth. Tifhoma asked if he'd be willing to do that on his behalf and he said most certainly. By the end of their consultation they put ink to paper on it. One thing good was that everyone who had a start from Dennis pushed forth and it made him proud, except Garry. He was failing to grow, but as we all know his problem, none's surprised. It was better at least in that his lavish lifestyle wasn't costing anyone except himself. In the past year alone he spent just over ZAR1,46 bln on gambling and partying with people he woke up not knowing who they are or where they're from.
Frank: "but,,,you've long foregone that hick or am I wrong!!!"
Dennis: "exactly my point. It was like he's
looking for a specific keyword out of our talk, but I failed him."
Frank: "let's hope it's not the case."
Dennis: "he can't be that bad, only not me to think like that of someone near me."

In the past year alone he spent just over ZAR1,46 bln on gambling and partying with people he woke up not knowing who they are or where they're from.
After seeing how possible it was for him to do business with the presidents, Dennis invited them back and they held a closed doors opportunity to invest in personal capacities into a greenhouse emissions mowing startup, AirDirt Mower. The presidents in a split second put forth their millions to finance the startup. The capital pool was used to speed up the development of the mowing copters. Mowcopters were built and in a period of 11 months the piloting started after 29 months in development and research. In 3 months the results were positive and AirDirt Mower was the sole company globally to offer such a solution and its products were ready to be commissioned for sale. The launch of the mowers swarmed the space and not long offers started pouring in. Marsch was now doing business with governments of the world, as a B2G company. For African states he sold each mower for ZAR400 bln whilst for BRICS at ZAR600 bln and for tier 1 countries set at ZAR1 trln with a discount if buying more than one. For countries that weren't affording they got into lease agreements whilst others agreed on contracts for air pollution mowing service. Sipping on pomegranate martinis, Dennis transferred to each of the partner presidents a big payment of ZAR555 mln for their small initial investment of ZAR55 mln. They never believed their eyes and he gave his wife ZAR1,25 trln. Timothy got ZAR5,60 trln and a deal to maintain and replace the mowers battery packs which cost ZAR80 mln a pair, with a lifespan of 4 years with no recharge, and each of his daughters got a head spinner of ZAR125 bln each. Tifhoma was gifted with ZAR2,5 trln. Sadly for Garry and Frank it was a different story. Frank was better as he got into a big deal to buy a lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant. He climbed up the worth ranks. Dennis was unrivalled in wealth as he was worth already a hefty tonned ZAR137 trln halfway through his order book.
Air quality improved and the aerospace industry praised AirDirt Mower for open airways due to clean skies which resulted in lessened plane accidents. Dennis received awards for his beyond genius concepts in business. Dennis's wife was the god of her family as she once made them queue to give her their bank details so she could deposit a small amount into their accounts. All the accounts were loaded with ZAR15 mln for 18 family members. None did bother her amore afterwards. As for Tifhoma, he bought a franchise chain and have all of his family and friends who are struggling to work in it. His family owned the franchise while he had another franchise which he established himself to own wholly called Ubuntu, alongside his private school, Angoni College. It grew to make him more billions to add to his trillionaire status after spending ZAR118 bln to build it and house it in 302 CBD locations. The Mrombongkani surname became bigger when he took his brand outside of his territory into the SADC region. Years passed by and Dennis died in his sleep. Just after his death was announced, his lawyer contacted the family for a special adherence briefing on his direction for his remains disposal as he put it in his will. He specified that he should be wrapped up in his leather body bag and sail with it to the middle of the Indian ocean and deposit it there to feed to the sharks, his archetype. He wanted not any songs sung for him, and but only hummings led by Tifhoma before the clan rites recitals by a clan priest for the unwrap prayer and body deposit. His family was alone with the pastor and Tifhoma. He was written about in almost a million publications on that day. Dennis left behind a global legacy, a feat unmatched by any mortal.
Q: what label can you put to Dennis's and Tifhoma's relationship? What's your take on the talks about a black person and the conversations between Tifhoma with Dennis? Was Dennis hating Garry or was he just disciplining him for his tendencies? How would you live your life if were in Dennis's shoes? If you were adopted, would you expect so much love from your adoptive parents? How much do you think Dennis died worth?

Scenario 157
Plot || A tough politician switch sides and go into corporate space as a tool for takeovers.
Sync1
Rohmad Insani, born Gerald Mathew Johnson, woke up that day with a mind fixed on resignation from politics and none can convince him otherwise, even the love of his life, Jennifer. He went about his daily routine and for the first time in her knowing him, Jennifer got a shock of her life seeing Rohmad wearing a tie. He told her he's got a conference to address after tender of his resignation letter that morning, to be held at 10:30 that morning. At 7:45 as usual he drove out.
The party acknowledged his resignation for being a member of Parliament and not out of the party. He shook on it and went to the conference to address the media. The party's spokesperson wished him well and in the same space Rohmad announced his board member status at DP Ventures, Toronto's underdog venture capital firm. DP Ventures was headed by its founder and retired Toronto magistrate, Daniel Pawson, and wasn't doing so well. Having Rohmad in his fold was a major boost he needed so much. He knew from that media briefing that his fortunes had changed, and indeed history mimicked his wish. The news networks spent the whole day till evening saying this and that about Rohmad's tie to his firm, and also questions about who's the face behind DP Ventures. His firm was trending. It took a week dominating the headlines online and offline, and on media pages, radio and television.
His departure left a trail of mixed feelings in that regard. Those involved in internal affairs of the party were divided on days going forth without him. As the party secretary he was feared by many. It was a huge relief to a lot. Rohmad started his day in his new career from the next day and it was an unfamiliar territory to tap dance in anymore. Pawson's partner, Marcus Ternam, was star struck for the whole week, pinching himself whenever in the same space as Rohmad. Coming in he signed a package deal which included his right-hand-man lawyer Tay Pissarro, and his PR partner Yon Zhen. This trip made things happen by 'fire x force'. DP Ventures was headed into a different course that drove Pawson and Marcus toy brained. The duo would watch the theatrics by their troupe without getting enough of it.
The first two outings were soft sweep-offs for rehearsal. From the confidence collected on the success of the two deals it was up. They went to the cleaning crew to get bags for their deals. The hype was getting intense and wherever they entered the house tour not felt any hotter from their coldness fringe. Four straight wash deals bagged in takeovers and it was on, everyone on the rise corporate wise was on the lookout for their visit, to them called 'overddwebb'. Their presence was feared and unwished for. To show that they were raking it in you could tell by the tar mate artillery they drove, with much focus Rohmad's cars, Ghak Fino12 and Viraj eFlo. The eFlo was a bonus after the near impossible 15% acquisition of Viraj Automobiles, which was through their persuasive ways a successful bagging from an only availed 3.9% to a sweet dream soundtrack of 15%. Viraj is known for its hybrid hFlo and turbo diesel dFlo. The hFlo replaced pFlo which was the lead seller to even better with the entry of the hFlo into the line-up. With such reputation they commanded, there's no boss who won't be pleased with a team solid and delivering as they.
Rohmad was engaged to be married to Jennifer nee Arthurs, and were preparing for their big day. Washing the corporate laundry was taking much of his time as he went in with virtually no clue of that world and had to learn a lot in breaks he could afford to get, and one of the spaces for doing so was at home. He was ever learning. Jennifer at times felt neglected in the process but understood. With the path he took, it meant that his security detailing shouldn't be taken light on the day as with each victory he registered, he was earning a new enemy in line.
Rear view sightings weren't yet an option for him and but Tay showed it to both of them, and reality dawned on him that he needs to provide protection for his family, especially the children. His fiancee was busy with blindfolds that marriage had on her to even see that, that she never even cared to listen to her fiance about their nuptials. She kept pushing for the date she chose and Rohmad wasn't sure of going forth or pulling the plug, but he's so in too deep to do that though it drove a bit of a distance between them. He was deeply worried.
One morning he woke up very early and had this to say to her: "I love and trust you too much but not sure if you'd do that much for me? Truth is, in love there's no being on the fence about it, you either are in or out. Pre-nup is basically to protect my child and your children in order for us to live in total vulnerability that excludes them from any harm of the dangers me and you may put each other in. But with this hyphened talk of your dilettanti lawyer of post-nup, you really are testing my pertinence on this union." She was shaken and surprised by such talk in the morning. She said: "Rohmad Insani, do you see me as a fence seater?" and he said yes he does. Jennifer cried and had him turn cold towards her in that he just sat there on the bed and watched her until she stopped and asked: "is that how you're now going to solve our problems in our marriage? If it's it, go to the nearest solutions store and buy a better solution to your married couples talk and share with me what you've found, for this one not working and you too knows it by now. Grow up" as she leaves her in bed and going to the balcony for some fresh air.
On that very day, he was going to check in at Work N Tech for a management buy-out deal. With anger from home Rohmad stormed into the Chairman's office and found him with his CEO daughter and said to her: "CEO, ever heard of the thrash named black punishment? I know you wouldn't admit it because it's here right in front of you. I make you flame the blaze you feel in the middle of winter, but, worry not for I'm here on a different page from the leaves of history chapters we inked together. What'll make me happy now is your economic keys into your castle for fill of my cart with shareables I can lay claim to with my nation when we reverse the dusts of unsettled enmity to out the walls with flags of amity in unison. I hope you point me the right rids to pick, so we start afresh on fertile ground, to assure me we'll work the land hand in hand" and her father who knows him from the days of chamber of commerce said: "oh, not you again, never wished for any inconvenience to my peace with you. What now?" as she mask the answer to him she said: "I hear you want us in bed with you, but I'm afraid your bareness is blinding me. Why is it that I feel your fondle too harsh on my manicured pediment? Am I torn between abuse and rape? I'd say yes, and go with the lust of flow for both enjoyed by only a freak." Rohmad gelled in continuation remark: "follow lust, it ends up as trust, unfortunately our products of rape could've turned out bettered hostile yields. Your cowardice robbed me action Robbie (turning to address the Chairman), maybe I should start calling you that." With anger he said: "not in front of my daughter shall I tolerate nonsense" to smiles from Rohmad and conclusion: "no bile bites, my store ain't yet open to shop" and furnished her with his penalty papers.
She scanned and promised to peruse them, Rohmad wasn't on the same boat as she. He told her to read them there and then, and decide. With hands shaking she said: "you can't dictate to us. This is a rip off." Rohmad looked at her with an eye of interest, the Chairman said: "a red eyed monkey can never make a pink boy scout hand over the key to the admin office, but rather a peeled banana with a zoo cage key dangled behind the cage door." With anger sweat he lowered his voice and said: "maybe you didn't hear me out from the beginning. The key is not what matters to us anymore, your discipline is. I've just realized that you're Thomas so I'll give you the Thomas gift." And he called an unknown party and he looked at him and said: "oy, he's waiting for the gift, let's gift him and next is his precious flower which we'll talk later how we can brighten up its petals at the same address of yesterday" and hung up. And, within seconds the siren went off to alarm about a fire in the parking lot. He said: "for my gift, tomorrow tell me what you think. We're out." The Chairman ran passed them to the parking lot to see what really happened, only to find his vintage car in fire.
With the CEO avoiding police involvement in it, she called to say she's signed the papers and can come collect them, he said she drop them off at the DP Ventures office, and she did. The police got their hands tied because DP has connections every corner of the law that they tried calling for help. She got it quick that they have none else in their corner but the corrupt practitioners on their side for future. The following day the Chairman was allover the news channels preaching the gospel of bad deals society that's pinning them down and but fearing to call names out. His daughter saw it a futile exercise and asked they let it slide, and they did at an extra fraction of the business. From that point the boss asked they ease off to let breeze reign over the fraternity.
They did two more easy deals and they laid low for four months in quietness. Tay and Rohmad were one morning waiting for Yon to arrive, and a call from Marcus to check on them and ask for a briefing session with them in two hours' time. Yon was called in and was so thrilled about the call up. They by that time were also waiting for a politician friend who wanted a word with him, and was lucky to have found him with Tay. His name, Quinten F Rogers, a familiar figure in Canadian political landscape. After exchange of pleasantries he laid his dilemma: "my ex wife has just won a lottery jackpot and is telling me to come get a portion of it, but there's a condition to that, I should spend three nights with her at my fiancee's aunt's lodge for celebration with our boys there. A good thing it is, trouble is that it's on the weekend date same as the party's elective conference. On the other hand, I have promised to go to the conference with the party's choice for wooing and to manipulate the KYV (Know-Your-Voter) tallying system for her win. Mind you, she's my new girlfriend and the week after the conference we're getting married. If she doesn't win there's no point in marrying her as her father won't transfer the two year office rental sponsorship deal he guarantees for the party. What must I do?"
"How much's at stake from each sure board?" posed Tay. He said C$ 8 mln from the future father-in-law and C$ 12.115 mln portion from the C$ 39 mln from the ex-wife. "For a two year marriage and its toll cost on you for the happiness of an unhappy bunch of tired in their unsuccessful marriages and ungrateful greedy power mongers over a possible mend to your broken bond with your family you wronged for happiness of the very bunch that cares less about your happiness, my back will be on the greedy toilers on my soul in walk back into my happy life reclaim with my loved ones who truly care for me" Tay lamely toned in say with eyes straight into Quinten's. He was echoed by Rohmad by a simple "exactly" and a stretch of his arms. It was obvious that he should just do likewise and go with the family's choice but then his career will suffer. "You don't know much about business and your best bet would be investing in blue chips and live free" said Rohmad looking at Quinten who in turn gazed up to the sky. Tay had to remind Rohmad about the appointment they have at 10 o'clock. The shift was effected and they exited. At DP Ventures, they found Yon already there with Marcus. The briefing was done and they were quick to out.
The next morning the trio found itself in the building of VBC Hydrochem. They were expected to arrive and were quickly showed to the boardroom. Stepping in Rohmad looking was met by defiance from a young man he couldn't piece his face together with his recollection of him and his connection to that meeting. The young man, from what he gathered from Yon, was an upcoming cub that was being groomed to take over from the party's leader, Edgar Simmons, and was aligned with the other faction within the party. The name, Ruloff Carter, was known from the streets and now new in politics, and from then on he was a bit worried, hence his unaknowledgement of him by not bowing when greeting him.
Ruloff started off by saying: "well, I hope there won't be any need for circus today I'd like to believe. What's on the table today?" Feeling the pressure the big tiger nudged his right-hand-man from under the table, Tay, to fly into the pan first and he asked Ruloff: "to be honest, I don't get the meaning of your said statement, Mr,,,ehhh" and Ruloff said: "Carter, Ruloff Carter" and Tay then went on saying: "Mr Carter, is there maybe a tent or anything of that nature in here that's synonymous with circus?" pulling forth his chair to the table to engage him. Relaxed and collected Ruloff looked to his sides and pushed his chair back in say: "to your right hand side there's a big crown on the head calling out. I can come show it if you don't mind and take it for myself to be crowned King of the corporate circus, should I?" and both Tay and Rohmad kept quiet, leaving Yon to blow the fire out. With hands together, he stood up and went round the table to see Roluff's reaction, and reading nervousness from his shoulder line, he said: "please advance and show it to me."
Seeing that the situation is building up to the point of contact negotiations, the CEO of Blankpoint raised his voice and said: "it's fine, no need for that, the show's over. Let's move forward." Clapping his hands Rohmad said: "forward or where?" and in haste answered: "to the agreement" with a sad tone. Reality sunk into Ruloff's head and he decided to recuse himself without a say. Asking him where he's going, he looked back straight into the eyes of Rohmad and said: "someone just bought themselves a different class of an admirant enemy" and before he could proceed out he responded: "my scripture reads; I fight my enemy to my death, and from my coffin continue my fight to the extent of reversing a hearse to finish off my enemy. My heart dirty like no other's among yous. I'm that daring mountain you only climb if your spirit says yes to its geological socronity." It was clear that blood Angels were singing 'swipes of the colour red to the floor' from then. He went out not stepping with assured sureness. He was regretting his move.
Truth was, Ruloff understood that he stood no chance against Rohmad, and to beat him he had to have a team that's ready to do anything for his ego and power like his draft enemy did, so, he got down and focused on working on himself as an upcoming political activist and participant. The wedding day was fast approaching and to his mind Rohmad was thinking of the political cub that he scared off, and if it's true he was scared or not, what he'd think of doing on his day to avenge himself. That thought was a heavy roamer in his mind. He tightened his security leading to the ceremony and during the day of the wedding. By sheer luck, nothing happened though still not a period of relaxation as yet to him and his team. Then a couple of days soon after the two bumped into each other at a local auction and Rohmad kept his distance but Ruloff was too worried why that evil chose to give him space. Ruloff went to him and struck a cordial conversation and seeing that his enemy wasn't into him, Ruloff ended up asking: "is that how you grew in politics? By shunning one of your own when trying to talk to you?" and still Rohmad gave him a piss off look and shifted.

In the toilet he found him and fortunately for him he was with only one other person in there and he politely pleaded with him to help him rectify the error he committed trying to get Rohmad's attention. Tay, isn't a bad person, he got it quick that they got him and he's got no chance as his reputation is about to be in tatters and he only had him to save his image. He's only got street cred but zilch in pockets. Tay promised to get back to him and that he wait there by the toilets. Tay went to the team and said nothing to his partners, Rohmad and Yon. Tay later excused himself by pretending to be answering a call and went back to Ruloff. Tay then said to him: "death be the wish to your strategy routed. I thought he'd be jumping at the opportunity but he talked of another historical item to snap since you publicly snatched the chain away. To be fair, let me not beat round the bush. I'll help you with the payment, and you, what will you help me with?" Showing distress he said: "anything that you want I'll do" to which Tay said: "for me it's more what you'd be than do actually" and cub roared never but wept in beg: "I'm all yours. Tell me and I'll do" and Tay softly said: "from today you'll be a good memory to me and my partners, fight a different ear which is not hearing us properly, and give up never your fight against Simmons, but do it our way."
Without ego or hesitancy, Ruloff did promise to be of good behaviour once he received help out. He was relieved. But then, the fierce cub was reminded that he should forget not the record of transfer a proof their conversation occurred, and he was okay with it. He paid and took the chain to Tay. Tay didn't blurt a hint he's in possession of a prized possession that Rohmad would do anything to lay his hands on. After a week, Tay received a call from Ruloff requesting a meet up at Tay's frequently visited spot. He went solo and spent some time with Ruloff in his relaxed state. "You chose my favourite spot so I come unarmed, smart move" he said to Ruloff, who thanked him for the compliment. "What have you got for me?" with a sureness tone. "I've got the money, all of it to the last cent to pay you back" but reading from his tone Tay felt he's not having that money and that he's playing a game he's not sure as yet but to soon find out if play it against him and whomever in it as his puppeteer. "Let's go elsewhere!" he tapped the table showing that he's suspicious of him and register to him as if it's staged, and that he's with someone or a group watching over them. Ruloff asked why but said it's fine. He was starting to feel uneasy until Tay asked where he's parked, so they use his car. Ruloff went to his car and once they were inside confessed to not having gasoline and if it be possible they could use Tay's. Tay upped the ante offering to pour enough for him whilst reading his tone, body language and stress control on contact with every touch in his moves in his car.
They drove to the nearest filling station and he poured 35litres into his mammoth 88litre tank. Ruloff was sweating and to add to his stress was the composure from Tay. Asking where the trip leads to, Tay said let's drive out of town and he'll think where. He did that to frustrate those who might be listening in on them or on their tail. He twice pretended to be texting someone. Ruloff's roving eye said quite a mouthful as worse was the light conversation had with Tay. The confidence he was reading from Tay was in thicker volumes to his uncertainty. At some intersection he directed him to go to the left and take a short right. It was at Rivertub Motel. "Are they all here?" asked Ruloff, to dismay from Tay: "I have no clue what you mean. Who exactly? Who said we be meeting anyone here?" which turned Ruloff into a statue. "Okay, let's go in and see what have you got for me. And I expect it in full if it be transferred" he told Ruloff. Out of the car he walked very slow, and Tay probed: "why so slow as if on shackles? What's binding your feet young man? I ain't got a big heart for the whole day. Cummon man, hurry up. Or is it your waiting on someone or want us to be seen?" Ruloff was so affright that he gassed and up the stairs they climbed to the second floor.
Inning the suite he asked for the look but Tay countered by saying on one condition and that's if he dropped off all his clothes to the floor. "A strip search you mean?" with a deep sigh he directed the question to Tay who just nodded and seeing him go for unbuttoning his jeans said to him: "I call it assurance measure, and it means up from your hoodie and down to those clumbered happy socks in secret sox." It assured him that the street cred was on a downward spiral when he peed on himself soon as he took of his colour blocking underwear. "Does this mean an invite to stay long 'cause I planned not so? He told him to squat and do a 360° twice" to gauge his attitude and willingness to comply, and all checking +. Ruloff broke down in tears and told him he tried all that he could to raise the money on the low but it's tough. By then still bare and sat on the bed. Tay asked: "so, what are you suggesting we do about that?" playing with his fone from one hand to the other. "I guess you're my guide and I'll do as you want" with his face down with embarassment. "Are you feeling humiliated?" Ruloff shook his head and said: "I'm ready to move to the other side" and Tay probed further: "you mean switching to our side and forget of the whole situation and step forth as one if I hear you sound?" and he Ruloff nodded. Tay told him to go elsewhere to go collect his rule book as he ordered him to cover back. "Are you ready to do as you're told at our timing as like is now, 'cause it's one of the tuffest things to do cub?" holding him by his neck back. Ruloff knew then it's now over for his rein in the streets. They were out and drove back to Tay's car.
Once back he ordered him to get into his car so they go somewhere to collect that promised rule book. Off they drove and now in relaxed mode asked: "what's your plan with me?" and Tay said: "the very chain you snatched was actually for you. The plan initially has always been to make you the mayor of the hoods, but you wanted it for revenge." "But you were ready to tear me to pieces sending that karate kid of yours on me" with a smile that quickly dried up when Tay glanced at him with disapproval. "Sorry" Ruloff said. "This reminds me of my high school days still in rush for freedom and power that comes with it, forgetting about all the responsibilities carried by my wish 'cause of not knowing what I was wanting. Being a grown up is a mess cub. Today, looking at them young now wishing I were there and having a chance to start over again with half the info I now have. On the other side reading from your unwise calculated moves because of being in hurry for higher positions that you ain't ready for, asking myself what's to give when day comes we demand for the core your position should have fermented for our craziness over your claim to the top, and nothing to harvest will be the case out of your hollow stature. There're gatekeepers and sidekicks to go through before gain of access to the elevator, before the master key holder and the right hand man to the master. You need to work out where you want to be, how you want in, and through which channel. The danger is your obsession with quality dilution you garner in chase of creds, like in your case, street cred. Amass quantity solidified by the virgin quality your breed purity is, layer upon layer. Do you know Hude Pruitt?" and Ruloff said he does.

Amass quantity solidified by the virgin quality your breed purity is, layer upon layer. Do you know Hude Pruitt?" and Ruloff said he does.
"You see now! You're giving me the breed you are" to Ruloff's distate. Knowing what he's meaning, Ruloff apologized for his lie. Tay told him that he's liking him a lot and wanting to do something with him if it be that he behaves, of which he promised to. Arriving at his penthouse he got a question from Ruloff about why not staying in a palacial home, and he told him it's a waste of land and underutilized resources all in the purpose of brushing egos. He said he's okay in that space as he can manage its all corners affordably. They had a snack and little by little he was opening him up and done he was with him as a boy with dreams that he's chasing on a far higher speed rail. He handed him the rule book and they led out. Driving back he asked him about his dreams and goals and he said: "my hood is my curse to my course, guess it got I swallowed up by fast lanes. I wanted to be a pharmacist simply because I'd be able to make my own mixes of drugs and push them on the streets, but it fell off my band as my grades kept getting worse. I wanted to buy my Mama a big crip like those of celebrities and a limo to all my niggas parties. I grew up with a dad who blew the fuse in persuit of rap life living, but later realized he ain't got it in him. I got none much to say 'bout him and his messed up tracks but as for ma Mama, I'ma make her proud one day" with a tear.
After a brief pause he came back composed and said: "and you, your dreams?" in ask to Tay who said: "nah, if you can't say you see your dream in my life then that translate to a failed fantasy realized. In short, I'm living my Canadian dream." "Okay, and you and Mr Insani?" he asked Tay. "What about me and Rohmad?" he asked back and Ruloff said: "thing is you seem to be the nicer element of the team. Not putting it in a bad way but a complimentary way" as he sees Tay smile. It was obvious that Ruloff is developing a soft spot for Tay, as is the case with him on Ruloff. In a matter of seconds they were back to his car and having to disembark. He thanked Tay and asked if he could visit him anytime from then, and he said yes he's welcome as long as he comes solo with single mutual party plus. He got out and he drove off and checking him from the rear view to see his reaction, and he saw him clinch his fists in celebration.
The very following day Tay received a call whist in the company of Rohmad and Yon. He answered him and told him to get back to him in an hour. Rohmad then broke it to him gently that he suspects it's Ruloff on the other side, and he admitted without a flinch. "Yes it's him and I believe you ask yourselves why?" kinded Tay said. "What makes me question myself you ask! Your behaviour! That's all, human dealings. I ask of self why I tolerate that, honestly" with a face not at Tay, who came back saying: "if you're as forward thinking as I am you wouldn't be questioning that. The good that'll be hitting your wax in those ears will be like heaven to touch. That boy is our market on feet. He's the marksman we've not been searching for as yet but should have, but lucky we found him. He called him back and took him by surprise. From top he asked why the call and he said he just received a call from the other faction summoning him to the Diplo-house, and Tay asked him: "do you trust me?" and Ruloff said yes, then Tay ordered him to tell them he won't avail himself because he quit the party. He hung up and in a minute called back to report that it's done and they promised to send a delegation to his Mom. He said: "worry less, drive to where we were yesterday and wait for me there.
Tay found him and they went inside. "You remember I asked you about visiting you yesterday? I was actually wondering if you could aaaahh" into his busy signal request cut him short by saying: "you're welcome to stay" and Ruloff was all tears and hugged him for a moment while Tay pat him gently. Rohmad called him and snookered the founding moment. Tay told him they'll talk in the evening as he was still in the middle of a September fall and flowing with it. The two sat quietly on the balcony watching the iridescent sunset effect on the glass right deep into the misted evening knock. "I'm a great cook you know?" said Ruloff. "I bet you cook like your granny" getting up heading to the kitchen and they both giggled. "So, come prepare us something" and Ruloff came rushing to the fridge. "Starvy I see" he remarked and Ruloff said: "you've got no idea" and he prepared a lean dinner in a matter of minutes. "A street thug with many talents" as Tay dish up some more. A call from Rohmad made its way again to him and he promised to line everything first with Ruloff and to talk in the morning at his office. They watched TV together in discuss of what they were seeing. It was a night for the youngling to never forget as it's what he pictured living everyday. In the late hours discussed his move from the calls they had earlier.
Tay wants the team to form a breakaway party from The Progressive Diplomats to a new one that will crown him as the streets mayor. At first he didn't get it but as Tay laid it out he became entangled by the aspirations flirting with his dream and vision. He was in at the drop of the last line. He told him to sleep over it and to talk it more in the morning. Ruloff never slept, he spent the night thanking himself for the brave move he pulled. Now that he sees what Tay thinks in see of his life map going forth, he cried all night. In the morning he was first on the TV to watch the morning news and surfing the net via the in-house tablet. He was lively to say the least. They had a snack for breakfast and a smoothie to down it. Remembering that they haven't gotten time to show him around, he told him to check every room at his level before going up to his level and the ground level. The penthouse was bigger than he thought. He found a way out in the upper level where he was met with a vacant helipad, a glass housed infinity pool where below the pool is a waterfall feature with garden chairs, a diamond shaped jacuzzi and exposed shower. It was a life outside of the inner suburbia set up. He went back inside jaw dropped with the world he just witnessed outside. Asking where the helicopter is, Tay said: "oh, about that, my whirlybird is booked for service and due back later today if not earlier tomorrow. Did you see below the heliport? Ah, you'll see it later when back." They went out to office.
With what he saw, Ruloff in deeper and deeper he was romanticized into the idea of being in with the new team. Meeting Rohmad gave him goosebumps as he had no idea what he's thinking of him. He was excused for a moment and Tay and Yon got into a seriously intense meeting and but reached a consensus. Yon made the call to Diplo-house and was transferred to Monica Tremblay whom is the Director of Communications in the party and they broke the news of their formal walk away and emails already sent for that. Monica said: "just know you're making a terrible mistake, remember that it's cold outside of the Diplo-house party, and the small axe you're chopping with has promised to be back shortly after your stint, but then we don't have time for such small fish as y'all know." Rohmad said to her: "where's Simmons? Put him on the line!" and she said he's busy, then Rohmad told her it's him and she put him on hold and within 20 secs he was with Simmons on the line.
"Sad news I hear my friend, when am I to come pay my last respect to your political career suicide?" with an exaggerated laugh. Once quiet, Rohmad said: "your mistake is to never learn from your mistakes. TPD was a loss to my repute which you are a cost to, with that a liability I factor when calculating my now opportunity to a chance to take. Hahaha, I know you'll be lining up to touch flesh with us cometh the day of truth for the glory that be." "Me and you have played this game side by side, once you retire from your kindergarten your bench will be waiting for your queuing back in. The public rush for a lick and once your toffee is out of taste then return home to warmth, you know where majority sleep better than with one eye open, because at that level there're illiterate and hopeless vagabonds, but anyway good luck with your misplaced temptation to making it big. But always remember that politics are politics, nothing you do would differ with us, we all play the gullibles and roil their hopes with rhetoric extension of the previous minutes to emerge as the best and only solution from the emotional storm we created, nothing better in there" Simmons added. "Thanks again for your input, Mr Simmons, my leader in politics. Good thing I got this conversation on record. Good bye my honorable friend" as Simmons quickly dropped after confessing that he will deny it's him. They clapped to that and agreed it's time they can engage their new axe.
Tay called him in and they had a close door session that left Ruloff ruffed up in hype. He got out with smiles and driven to check on his mother with two bodyguards in a limo as he dreamt. His mandate had just been activated and he hit the ground running. In his hood he was going from corner to corner spreading the word about giving power to the marginalized. In three days they were already reporting back to him and in two weeks a hood parliament was formed, with Ruloff as its head and a shadow mayor of the streets. His steam train was long delayed by the old greedy men who had no plans to advance his aspirations.
Hitting the press, the political landscape was dealt a few bruises as none was in anticipation of such, the rise of a true lower class movement of the present day as long been dangled in the eyes of the impoverished powerless majority. They were for the first time ever given a stage to dance away their pain. Ruloff was the main man to run to for solutions affecting the hoods. He was trotting from one hood to the next collecting soles in huge numbers. He was now understanding the amassing of solidified quantity by the virgin quality his breed purity was, layer upon layer, and loving his mentor more and more. He was the king of streets it occurred to him, thanks for the belief Tay had in him. Ruloff was starting to feel himself when amongst his peers but by all means hiding it from Tay.
Then a day before he was scheduled to guest speak in Calgary at a community hall and library meeting, there was a marathon race that was over 90% dominated by whites and he went to observe. The following day in his address he read out a speech that mostly was written by Tay, and he read it out to them after telling them how disappointed he was by the poor attendance by his people but later at a nightclub found them in numbers. He said: "your health is your life to wealth, the message I got from yesterday's race. To show you what your value is to them worth, look at the familiar faces in liquor adverts and endorsements. Dance is the only upside to it if any gains for life in the slow lane are to be for a destructed star you are. The good news you are, a silent deflator to lost profits that your greatness streamed for its abilities can't ever track and redeem. Days spent dying in glitters a rise to more time lost souls get profiled for gathered offers from their own but recycled and wrapped up in encaenia with honorary doctorates to say to you dark child; 'it ain't important to roam the great halls of academe, you too can have honour if sell your identity'. Time today you learn how important you are to your own more than to the foreign next. Do you think land is good only to walk and drive on with high premiums and instalments as class leading purchasers? When will you my people know eternal comfort, peace and pride in ownership experience normalised? Life for rent should stop else you'd soon be renting the very free air you breathe. Day is this that you are to learn in connection the wrong writing you read from the wall of brainwash" to applause.
He then went on to say: "freedom is in spirit, and that they gave to you en clair, but as for liberty, locked it up in safety deposit boxes in the CBD vanity and primed urb enclosures, a reach you're to be asked reasons why are in persuit of. I dare you to look at self in the mirror and interrogate the good that's hidden from your best. Let's breach the limits capped systematically in us by unlocking each's potential to create new economic hubs outside of the centres they develop with us in mind for themselves. Think value, reimagine economy, revise locality, and you've got a whole 360 of self-sufficiency in your persuit to blueprint reform. Come in, the effort is in short of you. BR to you." and he received handshakes that made his arm sore. The next thing, he received a call from a high ranking ex-officio from The Progressive Diplomats to congratulate him on his impactful speech and his growth which they've lost in him to BR. He quickly realised he's trying to score a seat in his moment but hung up on him. That's then he knew how great Tay is but why he hates limelight a big question. He same time called Tay to thank him for the much raved about speech, and Tay said he loved the delivery thereof and said bye.
That evening when with Tay, Ruloff said: "I don't wanna separate from you. You gave rise to my dream and should I step an inch away, will be in but without your in, I can't risk losing position. I hope you don't think of kicking me out of your space!" with hands on his face. "You need your own space, either way you're already out of my space mentally" he informed him with a straight face. Worried sick Ruloff asked: "what have I done to deserve such a sanction?" sitting down afore him. Tay looked him in the eye and said: "nothing is as ugly as betrayal from the one you've put your mind on and wholly invested into, to only discover the bad they intend to your heart. I know about the yesterday letter to Figarro about selling database of members for more power to your boost. I can't keep you in my space mentally that's why because you chose out and in my physical space am watching you with boredom. I don't know how long you thought you'd play it." Hurt by the hearty revelation, Ruloff called Figarro to cancel the deal. In tears he threw self to his laps promising to do whatever to keep his position. Tay went to bed early that night, leaving him behind weeping.
The next morning he was on Tay's bedroom door exercising his knuckles to ask for forgiveness again and way to doing good by him. Tay told him to come in and he jumped into saying his sorry statement. Tay told him: "you've got a capable PR officer, make use of him in times like this, that's what they're there for." Hearing him say so, Ruloff walked out with a tail between his legs. During the day Tay received an email with a statement of formal exclusive apology to him from his favourite cub. Still pondering on the statement, a video note was sent and said: "I'd like to expressly negate the origin of the source document of said same in any form that resulted in passing of a fallacy malice. Despite my statement, what best can I do to come across as less arrogant and show my sincere remorse?" he asked Tay.
"Instead of denial, why not admit your committed error and ask for explicit fault forgiveness. Doing that puts you in a better solution to the public's favour since your friend Figarro sold you to the political wolves" he said. "It's no point wasting your time on a tired dog like me while your mandate givers are out there wishing to hear from you. Put your energy where it's necessary. I'm old news and current affairs are what you move and shake as. Go out to mass" Tay said further on a video call. Ruloff's campaign manager, Drevnan Mulash too added: "how hard is it not to be yourself in self for yourself? For me, that's the yellow line to the lane. It's always 7 on 3 for 1, that's how serious stuff this now is becoming. Our best bet is a sincere apology and leave them with the ball rolling on their field, but just know that their trust in you is eroding dent by dent. We need a quick counter to reposition you for their doubt but with chance given to prove ourselves."
Ruloff was worried about the situation at home with his mentor after his shown disappointment in him. His dream was crushing quicker than he could mend it. The whole day he was up in arms with Drevnan to quash it. Tired and worn out Tay called him out and asked him about his honest intentions after the sale of the database. He told him he was going to give it to his family. Tay asked him why then hadn't he gave that reason to the public. That would've made them reflect on selves and opportunities dangled in the faces of the marginalized when trying to do something about their lives, with the aim to derail them. He called Drevnan instantly and sold him on that. When asked about where that came from? Tay dropped the call to tell him that he should say it's him himself who thought about it to place him far from the saga. Drevnan called back and Ruloff apologized for the poor network and talked it further.

The following morning a statement was issued and the public was won over by that confession and sympathized with him. It was true to them as they were seeing how their children who were trying to get out of troubles being dragged back via drugs and alcohol, among other social ills wrapped around their attempts. That day he called Tay couple of times to say how thankful he was. At the same time Rohmad was demanding a report on the saga but nothing was coming through. To that, he was getting angry by the hour. He ended up calling Ruloff direct and remind him of his place, he said: "never had I thought I'd be still having not gotten any response thereon from your pompous self. Now, listen! You go to your friends and make them realize that I'm no peer to them, I'm a commander and they should do as I command. Let them furnish me with that report as of tonight else you'll regret your move of trying to render me as an ex-officio. Tell Siramo I'm all eyes on the clock" and Ruloff told Siramo to oblige. Rohmad is feared in many circles hence it's tough obtaining the report as there were names being still erased from the whole shenanigan. But first email into his morning check was from Siramo for that requested report. He studied it in detail.
Later that day Rohmad called them to look into that report to establish the real intent of the whole transaction. His military intuition told him the main aim was to break the movement but Tay said something else that struck them yet, he said: "one smart gentleman once asked that if money doesn't grow on trees, then why does banks have branches? To this day I stand still in wonder of economic politics with no clue of but told I'm a participant together with the team that's disrupting the initial unitary plan of the ruling elite. Gentle politicians we're in the way of pipeline the elite are drawing feed from. The sin is the new education we're giving to the class that's zoned to never receive it. We're moving into the slip of Red Toryism, stealing clinches away from the Blue and the High Toryism staunches, so, you think you'd be left fiddling with the feed machinery just like that? Gentle 'politik de radikals' we officially have cracked the coconut for the threat cocktail, brace yourselves" to sum it up. "What's this talk of Tory?" asked Ruloff, to Tay's burst in laughter and saying: "yaah, not the one you dance to his music, you'll come across it in the last pages of your rule book. You see, the danger we are to them via our political education?" sitting down to draw a four. "What does this actually mean and what does it equate to? asked Rohmad. Yon said: "I hear you loud but not clear. Please roar closer to home so we can page your coding intact" looking at Ruloff. "In short, never eat with someone whom you've starved with. The policy is that, and we are eating with those they've worked hard to starve for decades. We're from The Progressive Diplomats and today we feed the non-diplomats with diplomatic nutrition that's dangerous to the gone day's narrative. A pan frying the new order gave wisdom to the wrong of wronged and opening their eyes to knowing what rhetoric is and how it carries propaganda to keep the blanket thought lighter even when wet. The fight isn't on the database but rather empowerment of the target market. Where else would they feed from? Think about that" and they all kept quiet and looked at each other. Ruloff was busy in, admiring his mentor.
Rohmad broke the silence: "then, we in a nutshell became the enemy of the entire political landscape? What a perfect mess of empowerment this we're in is!' with Yon adding: "we hit bull's eye and the old fighter bull for we've now turned out to be bull terriers. It's rather dangerous" with a hand on his moustache. Ruloff jumped in and weighed in: "for me it's exciting to be in this lane now if look at it from an angle of benefit" and Yon retaliated: "oh, like you already did! You think it's funny hah?" as quickly Tay diving in: "I see it Ruloff's way too. Think of the free coverage we'll get if come up with a better name and have this registered as an opposing party. What can we call ourselves?" Rohmad proposed for an interval and they dispersed.
Out of the office and the team's sight, Tay reminded Ruloff to follow his lead for the time being. Despite the tongue lashing he was singing praises of the man he sees as the leader and regards as his mentor though he doesn't want to be called that. Ruloff was obsessed with Tay but he was too busy to see that, just that Ruloff could contain himself. But then, what Ruloff not chose to give notice of was Tay's control of his moves to cut himself out to make him shine alone. Tay understands and is supportive of his desire to be him but in gentle break reminders sprinkled his real outlook on life. He at times painted a bad picture of self to make him wake from his dream of seeing him as perfect. Still in light conversation a text message beeps for return to the boardroom.
Going back in Rohmad was pointing them to the writing board where Blueprint Radicals was boldened. None said anything but looked at it. Eager to hear them shoot he asked what they thought and Tay said: "as this is about a revolution, why not Blueprint Reformative?" and Rohmad himself clapped for that in approval, but asking for any other suggestion better than that. Everyone agreed with that and it passed, and in the next hour a press briefing was held with Rohmad and Ruloff jointly with Yon Zhen as the session director. The new player, Blueprint Reformative (BR), was like wildfire gutting the country. The hope had on Ruloff was now more as he now was appearing alongside a political giant and throwing in the works the name of Tay Pissarro.
Tay one morning came out with the chain in his hands and said to Ruloff: "you've time and again showed me that you're not the quality material for it, and as such we'll be jointly giving it to Rohmad and see what effect it has on the material that is its quality." Ruloff was sad but thanked him for having tried for it on him and said he's ready to hang it on Rohmad. When they got there, Ruloff was excited to meet celebrity magistrate, Advocate Daniel Pawson flanked by Marcus Ternam. DP Ventures was bigger than they thought and having no reservations whatsoever for the trio leaving them. To his honour the duo of Ruloff and Tay was joined by Adv. Pawson and Mr Ternam. Rohmad was ecstatic about the gesture and from then saw Ruloff as someone he can trust and work unreservedly with. Ruloff shook hands with Rohmad and took pictures that included Adv. Pawson. One major event that was swiftly swept under carpet was the divorce finalization between Rohmad and Jennifer, and was in a jovial mood and went everywhere with his son as he learnt from him.
They flew back home with Adv. Pawson and Marcus, and made Ruloff's day. After the festivities Ruloff went to Tay for an explanation for the reaction he witnessed by Rohmad via the mayoral chain. Tay was in high spirits and been honest to him that it was his plan from the onset to reach to this day. From that, Ruloff awed by his brilliance and grateful for having met him in the boardroom table on that day though regretful for how he behaved. "You're grateful or thankful? I need to know that, it's important to me" said Tay to him as he crossed his fingers saying he is for both and Tay laughed. "You're the Reform chairperson and you ought to bear in mind that you get mandated by me, Yon and the Blueprint chairperson. I love you cub, hence I chose you over the rest, and please don't disappoint me and your family". On the day of the launch it was a mixed emotions surprise for Ruloff to see his father cleanly shaven and sober on stage performing his songs and a collabo with the celebrity rapper/singer, 7hefynest on the song 'Knew to the tawp'.
Sad thing was that his father secured gigs from the hype of the launch and also election build up campaign, and started living like during his olden days frequenting night clubs and sleeping around with girls some even younger than Ruloff. Feeling hurt and humiliated, he but then recalled some riddle phrase from Tay he heard him tell someone over the fone that: "for a tiger there's a paw, but if it was a hoof would it have made any difference?" and forgave his ungrown up behaviour displayed. BR continued to grow and made history when it saw its name on the board as their movement having won thirteen seats in the National Assembly. Ruloff was in his dream and growing in it to finally understand the feeling felt by his mentor when he told him about living his dream. His mother was ever there and supportive and on his feet bought her a big house and stayed with her and his two siblings, with blessings from Tay.
On his day in, Ruloff asked him to say something and he said: "this house isn't yours but your mother's. Cub, you and I can bear witness to the journey we've been through together. I'll never forget you, that space still is open for your physical presence. Be glad you turned out to be a good gamble otherwise all this would've remained still a dream left to achieve. To the reformed mass I say, it's possible, you know where he's been and today here he is proving that if you hang in there and give never in to the pressures and temptations used to derail you, you can afford to live your Canadian dream like he does. Wake up,,,be there as that full tool for your dream for it's where your vision resides. Go after it, it's never too late for it's yours and none others' to claim live. Happy for you Cub once again, on the record, thanks for the opportunity.
On his way out after enjoying a good home cooked meal, Ruloff asked for a minute with him, and he said sure. Tay said: "I hope you won't be raining on me Cub, it's your time to mingle within your shine" and he said thanks for everything to him before asking him: "why do you despise the spotlight so much yet all that is and that we are is from what you have in you? You made me, and there's no point in shying of same with the entire circle you quietly run. Why not stand up even if be just once? The world needs to know you instead of about us, please" and he reached for Tay's hand and put atop his other with face down. Clearing his batch off deposit in his throat first, he answered: "who are you?" and Ruloff said: "is it because of your breed? Not being fully black nor fully white yet not Caucasian? Yeah, okay, that's how Yon came into the picture, right? Please say, I won't tell a sole." Putting his other hand on his shoulder he said: "look how reformed you are. So loving the cut you make" with dryness in his mouth. Ruloff tried saying something but he shooshed him and ordered him to come see him in the morning, and Ruloff let loose of him as he went to his car and drove off.
First thing in the morning Ruloff was up and without showering drove to check on Tay and talk with him. Getting there he found that he was still in bed. He told him to come in and went back out same time. Tay said to him: "what? First time seeing a translucent bed shawl?" and he returned saying: "but you're naked." "Yes I am, I sleep bare. Or maybe our bodies differ? Anyways, you came here for the remainder of your answer, that for me I'd take a talk, am I right?" he asked Ruloff who was facing to the side. He said: "you make yourself a huge favour, stop caring 'cause neither does. I'm grateful for your sweet words and I know they come from sincerity but know that I'm happy when I herd their flock from behind. You and him are my shepherds and others are your assistants" he said further, and Ruloff said: "you mean Rohmad?" to his nod. "But then, where are you seated?" Ruloff probed further. "For your position, ask less of mine. You're made and fulfilled, stay there. Keep your access card 'cause I know you'll still be part of the familiar sightings in here" and they both laughed.

"For your position, ask less of mine. You're made and fulfilled, stay there. Keep your access card 'cause I know you'll still be part of the familiar sightings in here" and they both laughed.
Seeing that he's disappointed, Tay said to him: "I know you care more than you lead on, and your hanging around me a sign of your thoughts around every rehearsed take perfected on me. Now, my question unto you; 'how deep are you into my thoughts around you do you think I am?' I know 'cause I've gauged your reactionary pulses." Of a sudden choking from elation Ruloff said: "I can't say but am reading 3 out of a 10 and please don't judge that of me thinking that I mean you don't care about me, no, but rather that you're not into me in that other way" sounding raw. "I don't judge but get swayed easily. Your too much tuff street act musculinity said a lot about you, and so does same with Marcus Ternam with his too much lace pitched women talks. I love you too much Cub and but thanks you seem to have already figured it out from my side though got it all wrong on your rating of my thoughts about you. I am around 8, hence you're here with me and hearing me not forgotten where we ended yesternight. I do love you much as you do me. What's for breakfast?" still reading flashes of disappointment in him.
Getting out of bed he said: "this's all I can give you and a touch on yourself" giggling. "Do you reckon my homies know about me like that?" and Tay turned in say: "yaah they do, some of them, just that they don't want to unleash the beast in you. And my guess is, there're lots in your boat just that they're holding on through lifesaver jackets for their street cred float." He lit suddenly and out he was down to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast. Getting down Ruloff said: "I guess I'd never get my head around who you actually are." "Why not try what I am first?" he countered. "I'll never get enough of this, it actually slayed my way to inning life, thanks to you and your yous" Ruloff giggled. "Cocky sure you are breaking the code fast huh! My bosses you'll meet soon enough but sure not where and when, but they know and like you for the contribution you make for the franchise. Let's slash the taxing talk and enjoy fruitless expenditure" and Ruloff gladly remarked: "aight, damn right. I love my life with you" as Tay told him: "you're crazy know that?"...dp
Q_what do you think caused Jennifer and Rohmad's divorce? Does splitting BR into two a wise decision? Have you ever been in a pressing situation like the one Ruloff found himself in at Rivertub Motel? What would you do with a father like Ruloff's if were in the same rank as Ruloff? If you met Tay, what would you say to him? Why does Tay avoid limelight? How can you classify Ruloff and Tay's relationship?

Scenario 156
The year end function was another success to be proud of. The executive as usual weren't forming part of the celebrations, same as they do with all the events they are involved in. Hurrandt & Co had a successful run of a year, plussing their good start with added new products. The founder, Ronald Richard "RR" Hurrandt, started off with his father as his investor and advisor, and grew the entity to the point of it buying others that were proving to be promising yet not having enough muscle to realize their full potential.
Then one Sunday afternoon his daughter, Angela, tried striking a conversation with him. The problem was that she wasn't turning out to be what he wanted of her. She was not understanding why her father didn't go to the stadium. She said:
"It's Sunday dad, not going out to the game again? Why don't you ever attend the league games yet sponsor the teams dad, don't you think it's a waste? Your biggest team is playing today."
RR: "Being a sponsor doesn't make you a fan or owner, our interest is vested in the end result, thus we follow the highlights. Are we clear? Don't you dare ever question my or our decisions on the engagements we have in our business. You said you wanted nothing to do with any of my life's things, this forms part."
Angela: "I'm sorry daddy, I will next time not drink and be saying silly stuff."
RR: "So, you in other words confirm to me that you've got no shame in what you do, and still planning on doing it again? I'm wasting my time here anyways!"
Angela: "No, not at all daddy. You just not into what I love, that's all."
RR: "And that happens to be?"
Angela: "Sports. And you not."
RR: "So, you expect me to believe you that I have a daughter whom is into sports, and I just don't see that after all those years?"
Angela: "Yes dad. It's something I love but,,, it's fine let's drop it."
RR: "You see now! That's what I get turned off over you. Go back to sleep and come back when you're sober and ready to talk business."
Angela: "Your hypocrisy is alarming but I like it. Thanks anyway. Love you too dad."
RR: "Like I said, go back to sleep and let me be on my hypocritic route." And RR went out to be in his study room. Truth is, Angela is tired of covering for her dad and not being appreciated for that. Her younger sister, Dalcy, is what their father loves for she's the business head.
Dalcy too, never goes to games but with her dad to meetings and other events of relevance to business. They spend hours together at times away from the family. Dalcy is lesbian and her father knows that, and not bothered by that, as it made him love her more in that she had a mind of a guy. At 26, a third born, she's already contemplating adoption or artificial insemination. She just thinks differently from her siblings. In all, it's three girls and one boy, Collette, who is 22 and the last born. Collette was his mother's good boy and lived more for her than himself, and his father given up on him for that about him. The first born, 33, is married to a diesel mechanic and her a chef. The second born, 29, is childless, single and living overseas, and enjoying her freedom in her loved career as a plant technician in Ireland. The only child who didn't do further studying was Dalcy. She but, is the smartest of all her siblings.
On the way from the plant and back to office, RR was puzzled by Dalcy's reaction during the meeting, and probly engaged her.
RR: "I noticed that you made a quick turn on that THS topic. Why cause it was in your hands?"
Dalcy: "It was daddy, but if you have had your eyes on O'Neal you shouldn't be."
RR: "owh, I saw nothing. What are you on about?"
Dalcy: "Your partner wasn't questioning you, but attacking your move. He thinks he is smart but I got it on him that he only knows about THG and the minute he said he operated the tross on time pressure I got it that he hasn't operated the THSs, and it made him shy away from the core of the topic as he realized I caught him but none of you caught the whiff of his fallacy. He's in short not happy about me, you'll see it soon."

He's in short not happy about me, you'll see it soon."
RR: "I do get you. He naturally hates those who knows. So, is that why he changed his tune on refund for whip tripper?"
Dalcy: "Sure thing, he's been duping you on maintenance for long. The THG isn't same as the THS range, especially the E-THS and the new entry H-THS, they don't replace the drip switch units, they are helicoidal magnetic driven. The chain drive is no more."
RR: "You mean he was scamming us? No wonder he's like that now."
Dalcy: "The only replacement we talk about are the two plug fuses, and they're not expensive to procure. Your last round investment into new plant technology is well on point, just have to auction off the old generation factors as your production flow is on par if not better to other field players."
(Dawning to him how truly resourceful and reliable his daughter is, he asked) RR: "So, do you have any clue of a reactor we can opt for?"
Dalcy: "That very solar/hydro model is the top of the range. It's the new industry standard, not the old diesel and power guzzling ones. There's no need for any additional unit nonesoever, unless one if not two H-THSs when putting offline the older system units."
RR : "Thanks my girl. We'll look into that later. Proud of you, know that."
Dalcy: "Thanks dad."
Dalcy and RR had a great day in fields of golden shame secured against an unscrupulous partner. He called O'Neal to trap him and he fell for it. Asked him how much could it be to replace both the inlet and outlet port valves and fitting the new hydraulic pressure cylinders. He said it could be in the region of £11 750.00 excl VAT. The following day RR called the team for a brief interactive session and in the end highlighted the fraud that's been happening for a long time in the company, and whomever doing it should raise up their hands and settle the matter. None raised their hand, and RR informed them there's an audit report from the previous year that showed flaws in the astronomical rise of maintenance costs. RR had uncovered that O'Neal is actually paying himself from bogus maintenance basin he keeps calling out, and was just about to be exposed.
The meeting was held and O'Neal wasn't as usually comfortable at the hearing of auditory processing forming part of the business system for accountability. He kept asking about the consequences of any wrongdoing and errors punishable by law arising from an audit. Everyone was starting to sense trouble, more so when he questioned the possibility of putting the audit issue to vote. It was apparent that something was up. The team voted in favour of the audit. The following day O'Neal tendered a resignation letter and opted to be a silent partner. He knew that he was caught. Thing is, he's been against the coming in of Dalcy from the first thought of the idea. In a month it was after the departmental audit report found that O'Neal had roughly £ 86 800.00 all to himself via non-existant maintenance costs. Once asked about it he never bit round the bush about admitting, and had apologized for the unprofessional and unethical practice. They agreed upon recoupal of it through dividend deduction in four rounds.
A few days later, Mrs Hurrandt, came back from church to find all her family to be on about their businesses. She told them about the second coming of Christ and RR laughed at her instead of showing support. His wife's blood boiled and got into a rant that made everything in the household freeze. She was mad at him for that, especially in front of their children. RR tried justifying his action as usual but this time around wasn't sure to win it. It went into the bedroom as RR tried escaping her and got higher and RR got out and into the study room to be at peace alone. Later Dalcy had a church importance talk with her dad and how her mother believes in the protection of their family ever since. She levelled with him and thereafter went out for a walk with her dog, Martzi.
Dalcy: "Sure thing, he's been duping you on maintenance for long. The THG isn't same as the THS range, especially the E-THS and the new entry H-THS, they don't replace the drip switch units, they are helicoidal magnetic driven. The chain drive is no more."

Later Dalcy had a church importance talk with her dad and how her mother believes in the protection of their family ever since. She levelled with him and thereafter went out for a walk with her dog, Martzi.
Later on in the afternoon, after a heated argument with his wife, Altea, about him not praying or going to church for his and his family's divine protection and luck for his success, RR took a trip to the Bible store to buy a bible to shut her up. A minute in he met with a nuisance of an ex-classmate, nicknamed Rascal, in the guise of Wilmond Farr. Wilmond was with the owner of the store and three of his close nit congregants. They never liked each other one bit and not about to do better this time around. Reason was that Wilmond was popular with girls and loved teasing RR and his friend, the late Alex Ecton, about their challenged heights.
Wilmond: "R,, what a pleasure, what's a person of you are doing in here?"
RR: "Rascal, still not changed? Am I not welcome in a Bible store? What qualifies only persons of you? Where's your Xmas spirit?"
Wilmond:"don't you dare call me by that name in front of my congregants! I'm the Mystery of Him The Word, the commander of all belonging angels."
RR: "emphatically, being a mystery you are to oneself not a mystery to everyone, mind tank that. Ohhh, you're a pastor these days!! Will you still be after the festive season?"
Wilmond: "is that your way of flatter by my success my brother? Or just a snowball of jealousy compared to me?"
RR: "since when was measure a definitive of failed comparison? The trouble with people your type, is finding fertile minds to plant seeds of self-doubt and disbelief, so you can reap for yourselves from the virginity of their incomes as unencumbered fruits of your labour. Be truthful to your gospel and life will reward you endlessly. The cloth is the new of old tricks. It's true you never stop learning about a person until they read about you in your death paper."
Wilmond: "what do you actually mean by that?"
RR: "if death knows me by name, surely for a corporate sinner as me, dancing in white collar shouldn't be a gimmick we all are a master of in the eye of the holden saints we now see. Disappointed not, for in the silos of forgiveness had I never trampled upon a face as yours and any of its lookalikes, but got to someway understand in the holy whatever you call it, is fully your type written as false prophets and the likes. Or maybe I don't front you well my reflected friend? Or..."
Wilmond: "do you mean to you I'm reduced to a mere reflection than a representation?"
RR: "representative of what? Ohh, by the by, like a good thief you are, see how stolen my words just got. But then again, if brushes don't allow to paint you in, why should I be messing up on the crease free canvas? Your scream earns one no screen. Similarly, is net betting on the ice cream rather on eye scream, get the feel? Maybe you need to read The Heart of Art's Life. I don't go ahead of life, no, my friend, l lead in my life."
Wilmond: "people have a problem with learning uncomfortably."
RR: "I figure you refer to self. The figure in front of me is very much uncomfortable as we speak. Oh, please, don't,,,I don't take pictures and not taken pictures of solo. I've built myself for people to take their pictures with me, not of me. Frame me in your box together." (as he pays for his bible)
Wilmond: "it was good meeting you again R."
RR: "likewise, but don't dream bad of me, haha!!!"
Wilmond: "I actually discard your type in mine fortunately. Bye!"
RR: "good, and have a nice day further." (walking out of the store),
Dalcy was on a mission to find the next frontier engineering firm that Hurrandt & Co can acquire a stake in. She met with one small startup owner by the name of Herman Darling, of Hermad Tech. The two had a jolly interesting conversation. It went like:
Herman: "it's good to know you. I know Mr Hurrandt though never met up. Who's he to you? I see some resemblance."
Dalcy: "that's great, thanks. He is my father. You knowing him means you know already how we operate I take it?"
Herman: "can't really agree, but a clue yes. But then, what do you actually do? And why are you here?"
Wilmond: "R,, what a pleasure, what's a person of you are doing in here?"
RR: "Rascal, still not changed? Am I not welcome in a Bible store? What qualifies only persons of you? Where's your Xmas spirit?"

Herman: "what are we?"
Dalcy: "our business is in buying micro engineering entities and grow them big."
Herman: "but, what if I want to remain this size? Hermad Tech was never planned for sale after its success. Its plan has always been to grow organically at all costs. Your angle a derailment."
Dalcy: "okay, I get that. But Sir, ever thought of being a household brand name owner? Ever thought of legacy? It's what I am here about."
Herman: "big corporations are devils in shiny suits. What would you be if not screw me up? What is your brokerage model?"
Dalcy: "I ain't tight but radically I deliver, and in foam you're gonna feel my form. In how, only a diktat your soul will sinfully abaft purity solaria, for I never bitch out my brokerage."
Herman: "I like you but fear you similarly, and for that I will pass."
Dalcy: "it takes fiat money to get an uncommon ear to advance its attention, especially by damaged people. The money you don't have is more enjoyable than the one with your name printed on it. Leaf read your life position and think again."
Herman: "I do have my debts, but are sizeable per my business size, nothing I can't manage. Thanks for your poetic offer anyway."
Dalcy: "thanks, I'll arrive tomorrow midday. My offer discussion will be the first thing before lunch. See you then, bye." (Putting her fone to the ear and turning her back on him).
Tomorrow by 11:48 they were knocking on his office glass door. He couldn't hold himself, he said, "you really were serious! Why with your father now? Ganging up on me?" And she said: "flatter yourself while I still allow." Telling them he had nothing for them as lunch, she went out and came back with a picnic bag and laid the table for the three of them. She came prepared. He started off by saying:
Herman: "you guys are just too big for my smallness. My voice will never be heard. I run a team here and you are a group, we just don't match."
RR: "I don't follow. Thought I'd be talking a language of concur with this man."
Dalcy: "what he means dad is like band vs tier, or classification vs category, so, for me team vs group too, is important in how I'll relate to the people involved, though to be directed by what they present selves as to me. His point is very much valid and of utmost importance to any leader" she said to RR. On the low, RR can't cease loving every minute of his with his daughter. The quality she is is driving him in smaller circles. Dalcy took over and went on with Herman until they got to the middle ground. Dalcy won Hermad Tech for Hurrandt & Co.
In a week's length, Herman and his investors were putting pen to paper to sell to Hurrandt & Co. Seeing how good Dalcy was on putting together that deal, RR put her in directorship position of New Markets, a position that Dalcy was not happy about. She was eyeing more a position that had to do with engineering than the scouting she was now in charge of. She had a heart to heart with one of the company directors and got a different course to her track thought in that the director showed her that she had the opportunity to work directly with innovators and entrepreneurs in the phase of due diligence and buy-in. Also will be instrumental in introducing the technology of what's been acquired and following up on sustained technological advances thereof later on. It's a wish her to be in the position of Dalcy than it was with the stagnant one of her's. Dalcy saw her job differently since then and found it indeed fulfilling and more rewarding as it afforded her the chance to try this and that unlike working with existing technologies.
Hurrandt & Co spent a period of eight months working on aligning Hermad Tech before looking at another acquisition. Two months later, Dalcy came to the table to announce another prospective acquisition. This time was in a few months startup that Hurrandt & Co didn't believe in its prospects. Dalcy took her time on it and found true potential to unlock, sadly she was not supported. She went into a different kind of a deal with its MD, Sally McMillan. Originally from Manchester, her business was starting out in a space were it was conducive for almost any business to thrive, London. It was a business that to many lacked the sauce of attraction, with its name not coming to the party well dressed for the occasion. Mo T Gaming wasn't winning any awards in name sense. So, Dalcy had it worked out and partnered with Sally to build it further. To be right about it she roped in her younger sister, Angela.
Herman: "what are we?"
Dalcy: "our business is in buying micro engineering entities and grow them big."
Herman: "but, what if I want to remain this size? Hermad Tech was never planned for sale after its success. Its plan has always been to grow organically at all costs. Your angle a derailment."

Hurrandt & Co spent a period of eight months working on aligning Hermad Tech before looking at another acquisition. Two months later, Dalcy came to the table to announce another prospective acquisition. This time was in a few months startup that Hurrandt & Co didn't believe in its prospects. Dalcy took her time on it and found true potential to unlock, sadly she was not supported. She went into a different kind of a deal with its MD, Sally McMillan. Originally from Manchester, her business was starting out in a space were it was conducive for almost any business to thrive, London. It was a business that to many lacked the sauce of attraction, with its name not coming to the party well dressed for the occasion. Mo T Gaming wasn't winning any awards in name sense. So, Dalcy had it worked out and partnered with Sally to build it further. To be right about it she roped in her younger sister, Angela.
Sally and Dalcy had the name rebranded to MoThrill Gaming. The software Sally had developed was for collection of fone numbers of game attendants or fans and automatically uploaded into the database platform. The fans gets to play a game live during the match for prediction of score or scorer name or winner and win during break announcement. It brought excitement to the game. MoThrill was then pitched to a list of prospective investors but none saw its potential. One day Angela said, "why can't we invest our own money into this and use Hurrandt & Co's influence in its sponsored teams and build from there, telling Dalcy. Dalcy loved the idea and approached all the teams they sponsored, and only one saw the potential. Not long after test runs, the platform was introduced to tennis and it became an instant hit. It brought new way to the selling of tennis as a sporting code. The excitement generated by the live competitions brought in new fans and revenue. RR followed up on the new crazed phenomenon as he was told it had his name written allover it, but not sure if he was well placed to it.
MoThrill Gaming was a thrill indeed. RR spoke to Dalcy and found out that it was the same proposal project that they were approached of but rejected, and now is in the prime space and raking in hundreds of thousand pounds. Not long it was said to have registered its first million, and it was a one way up ticket. Other sporting codes followed suit and tied to the win. It was no longer needing finance and her daughter was spot on but he let her down by the company's rigidity. RR was proud also after hearing that Angela was the PR officer of MoThrill Gaming, again what he shot down when introduced to him. He felt a loser for failing to believe in his own children. In the same breath, Dalcy resigned from Hurrandt & Co to focus on MoThrill full time. RR knew it was the result of his failure.
Dalcy's stint at Hurrandt wasn't embraced until the day she went out. Her support role to subsidiary companies was vacant and none could be better at that. The only person who knew beforehand about her move was the same director who showed her the good route to her fulfilling stint that none appreciated. RR was alienated from his daughters and but good that they were going the same direction as one. Her pull out set the company back especially after realising how impactful her presence was but treated as an okayed overlooked consignment. They weren't falling, but were in a crisis. They soon found a solution, to have her be a consultant for Hurrandt. She did and soon they were back on track, a lesson to a father who knew his daughter's potential but neglected it only to pay dearly thereafter.
MoThrill became a household brand in live games thrilling in sports. One day in his leisure time, Herman visited Dalcy at her plush office at MoThrill told her that he now got to understand what she was meaning when she said to him that doesn't he want to be an owner of a name brand that is successful. He was by then afraid of growth in his own terms and if had he thought of it better, could've turned out to be like it is for Sally. It was a sign that he wasn't that bathed in joy at Hurrandt. The sentiment made Dalcy feel sure of her career move. She advised him to sell and start something over or come be with them and grow freely, but he was on a different path of wanting something else alone to claim as his. He wanted no investor any longer. He envied their setup, though Dalcy told him it wasn't by default as it came about as a result of constant rejections. She nevertheless thanked him for the kind words of admiration. Within a month he sold his entire shares in Hermad Tech.
The following week he was at MoThrill again to talk to Dalcy about a possibility of working together on another project sans any other person involved. He was working on developing a device for the water care and treatment sector. Dalcy looked at it and was into it in no time. The venture rode on the back of a snail but realized after 23 full months of daily grinding, and another 14 to reach its break even point.
Q_how many entities does Dalcy work in and how many does she own? Is it true what RR said to Wilmond about pastors? The move by RR not listening to Angela, was it justifiable? Who's your favourite character in this scenario and why?

Scenario 155

Sync 1
Gino: "Uewenn runs BettaHeal Pharmacy better than Violet does with Interpharm."
Zander: "I'd vote for BettaHeal than Uewenn. He found BettaHeal already on the rise and got in at the right moment, for me the exCEO is the man I respect."
Gino: "Point taken. Jomel Warris was the man who shaped it, especially in his last year."
Zander: "Yes, absolutely. Be on the lookout for Bank Group, he's just joined in quietly as it's CBO this past Tuesday. Ohh man,,,look at the time! I have to go, my conference call is about to start in 4. I'll check on you later."
Gino: "Later then."
The rivalry between two upcoming pharmacy brands is one that's got lips of every player in the space talking about of late. Zander Thorg, is a bright freelance Corporate journalist based in Antwerp, Belgium. Zander wasn't working alone, he was an associate partner at one of the top consultancy firms in town, Dowenda. Dowenda is a firm that's founded by four parties who met in high school and promised to come back after tertiary to form it.
Founded nine years ago, headed by Loic Bauwens as it's major shareholder, Milan Kickx, David Maes, and Arne De Vos as equal partners, in their home city. Loic has always been ahead of them psych wise, and by nature their leader though age wise the second youngest. Loic used to read a dictionary in his young days. As friends were busy being taught religious, he was busy with vocabulary. He grew up different from his peers and by some even envying him. Loic owns his share through his private equity firm, Loic Bauwens Funds, which holds 45% of Dowenda, he also has 5% of the Bank Group stake.
One evening Loic had a dinner meeting in downtown with Jomel Warris, and in the jist of their respective conversation the chat transposed when Loic mentioned child labour, and scored Jomel an earful of audience that participated. Jomel believes firmly in fair labour practice, accountability and accessibility to the media and public at large. At some point he said: "the trouble with our people today, before they be their professional selves is, they forget to labour for their love of self and the next without putting labels to the love they're to give out. We invest in investigating the kinds of loves we're to make others share conditionally with labels. If we didn't have that in us we wouldn't be witnessing child labour which sadly because of unaccountability from the system that allows it to happen before we talk of its continuation. Those responsible for monitoring and punishing it aren't accessible to those in need of help. True fact is that some children are in it by force, others by choice from circumstances, some as the only thing they know given their lineage, and then be those who don't know how they got in it in the first place" to Loic, who got deeper into the subject with him until jumping to other topics and calling it a night with the promise of seeing each other during the board meeting the following day.
The next day in the board meeting Jomel came in stronger and bolder. The board members were complaining about the low yields and what him as the CBO would do together with the CEO and the COO, and when it came his turn, stood up and had them take notice of him in say; "the whole fragranced fault line is the jab of mismatched corporateship in your gry corporatology. I vividly syndicated furtive bout term strata spreads but none lit the bulb to their inherent gree in nisi. Hence I retired my holistic intuition, a position that led us here." One board member said to him: "there I was thinking we'd be transported from A to Z on solutions to our lament, but no, you put blame on us!" Jomel responded by saying: "please dear fellow bosses, let's go a bit up in our heads and help us prioritise the IPIs, which is you the shareholders, you're our Initial Persons of Interest, and I'm here to do that for each of yous. The economies of scale are instructing you our way and you just ain't ready to ease up, why whilst we both know Antwerp and the whole of Belgium needs us united" with an eye on the shareholder who challenged him.
Another board member asked Jomel: "Mr Warris I'm worried about the plan. It all but seem behind. Is there anything else or new to put on the table to warrant their recommendation of you?" Jomel stood up again and rose to the occasion: "if all can recall, I've been here for only 37 days and if count this one then 38, and sadly on my 11th day as your Chief Banking Officer, tabled a plan that was literally soiled and poison pilled by what was dubbed 'bank mild breaker's and I to date with a baited breath awaits implementing phase to that. My colleagues needs to be assured that I came in not to take away any's job, but rather boost immunity of this organisation. Together, let's break the chain of normality and step forth into the next level of new by us into the market" and sat down. Then, the COO said: "I priddy much doubt none about that claim, you, IPIs need to believe in us to deliver and we'll do" patting the CEO's shoulder. "Is that belief in your trio or in the team or in the CBO?" asks another board member to the COO. The COO went straight into it and said: "well, what can I say? I have much trust in the new CBO to together turn the turf into a happy ground to step on" looking at Jomel as he addressed that question.
"True, it takes specially marked ones to lay out all your troubles to, so, be it a surprise not for you are one with those as one to them, Jomel, my trust too is in you to get back to the glory of the outset plan, and so wrong to have not received your vision from the onset" said the CEO avoiding a backlash from the board's Chair, like he did before finding Jomel. In a dramatic turn of events, Jomel added a bit of salt by saying: "I too would like to have you make me happy, but then again, your decisions taken making your choice of decisions made seem otherwise."
CEO: "I feel this is the start of a sudden death to wrong decision making, and we're ready to rectify."
Chairman: "I don't hear any sorry whiff ever in mention. To me, clear you show, aren't purely regretting your sidelining of the solution he voiced you shut down. It's a disappointing trend."
CEO: "I'm sorry Mr Chair, we regret our wrong take."
Board member 1: "I echo the Chairman's sentiment. You guys aren't ready to say you are sorry to both us and the CBO. I, to be outright honest to you am no longer available for your audience gentlemen. I suggest we look elsewhere for your successor" to cheer of board.
COO: "But the CBO can attest to our sorry for the error" showing pressure.
Board member 2: "I suggest we hear out the CBO's plan before wielding the axe on the two."
Chairman: "your plans CBO!"
CBO: "actually it's a plan. The Bank Group needs one brand that's experienced personally per economic cluster. The voice be one but tailored to specific target group. Let's move forward away from the one-size-fits-all approach and the strength of our brand will speak and appeal to the demographics we sought from the onset. It needs no much in terms of advertising, but rather a new aim at the delivery of product in a manner of relevance, that's all" and sat.
CEO: "but you said some odd meaningless words that day, instead of this!"
CBO: "Ungreying the target zones?"
CEO: "you see, hear that? (locking eyes with the Chairman)" shrugging his shoulders.
COO: "but I priddy much believe that we should've read his plan, engage on it and implemented it. It sounds."
CEO: "but...he"
Chairman: "but what, huh? CMO I see you have something to say."
CMO: "I'm just glad 12 days later it resurfaced as I had a long deliberation on it with the CBO on it, and in the past five days were busy with my team on it with the Sales Director, who loves it."
CEO: "what are you actually saying Angie?" refering to the CMO.
The sway board member: "it's clear that the CEO is the accessory of fact that we just can't be on about in believe he'll take us forward. I suggest we simply
put this ousting to vote."
Board member 3: "seconded."
CEO: "you can't contemplate on that surely. After everything I've given to this company? And you personally?"
CBO: "I too am honestly not sure am at the right place. He made an honest error of judgement, we all do that, unless there's anything other than this that's on the secret menu I don't have the same one as yous" glancing at the sweating CEO who's nodding endlessly.
The sway board member: "you,, you're the exact leader we've been working towards securing in a long time, I urge you to stay. It's true, the menu's not the same because we're on a different leaf today. He never agreed to your coming in the first place, and here you are defending him. Be ashamed Harrison (referring to CEO)" as he shook his head.
CBO: "I think not, he was being cautious maybe 'cause him and me have no history to tail cut of. He meant well I suppose."
Board member 2: "unless he had reason to strongly oppose that then, that he failed to fill us in on."
The sway board member: "that's besides the point of today. Are we voting or not?Are you in with or out without us CBO?"
CBO: "should I leave, there's no way you'll ace the plan to achieve the much needed turnaround you wish for." They all nodded to him.
Board member 4: "what are you thinking Loic?"
CMO: "it's not about what the Chairman or anyone think, that's not, it's more case of what the CEO thinks. That's all there is to it, if we're correctly guided by the best governance practices."
CBO: "he clearly has a vision of where he wants to take the company, mourn not before the death, the actual subject is still much alive in its deep unusual sleep. Put away the death notice please."
Chairman: "there's something you'd be glad to hear Warris, there's never in my entire involvement with this company had I encounter a CBO or an executive that has ever found reason to fight for another who wanted them never to be part of what they are running without reservation at all, who are you really, cos Jesus Christ roamed the earth a long time ago and to my recollection never pathed this very ground we're spaced upon?" to laughter from everyone including Jomel himself.
The sway board member: "hence I maintain we need his leadership qualities in here" to claps of cheer by the board.
Board member 5: "there's something that this man sees that we unfortunately don't due to our experience with this man (pointing at the CEO)."
Board member 3: "let's hear from him" as all turn heads to Jomel.
CBO: "thanks for coming to my sermon (they laughed). I had one-on-one consultations with each executive and he confessed to his fear of rapid growth and change that's to scare off the consumer base, and I want to assure him I'm not here to enforce same, but rather engage with him on a booster to his vision to give it a new stream to explore should he be trusting enough to allow that and counsel his conscience in con amore, so would the consumer con anima. I believe in conc synergy more than anything in team leadership. We may not be of the consanguineous ideology, but in unison should paddle on the executive vision and with this meeting a reminder to all of us that it doesn't take one to create blue tick function, but only one can blue tick another or others as an end user. So, CEO is well within his defence ring to right his safety net for consumer base cushioning, and I respect that of him for it reminds us why we're gathered here, the consumer is the reason and you IPIs with a mandate on us to make them give you the lifestyle you aspire for. As such, let's develop a product range that will ensure consistent repetitive behaviour of them as targets" and cut.
The sway board member: "we need your heart my soul leader, you've won me wholly today" giving him a firm handshake.
Chairman: "even though the cons you said can't claim to know but felt like I was in a perfect dream until you stopped and realized I'm not. Ron (short for Ronald (the sway board member))
Board member 3: "seconded."
CEO: "you can't contemplate on that surely. After everything I've given to this company? And you personally?"
CBO: "I too am honestly not sure am at the right place. He made an honest error of judgement, we all do that, unless there's anything other than this that's on the secret menu I don't have the same one as yous" glancing at the sweating CEO who's nodding endlessly.

The sway board member: "we need your heart my soul leader, you've won me wholly today" giving him a firm handshake.
Chairman: "even though the cons you said can't claim to know but felt like I was in a perfect dream until you stopped and realized I'm not. Ron (short for Ronald (the sway board member))
isn't wrong in saying we need your heart here. For the second time after my father that I listened in capture every word an executive leader said and I understood. I tripped on a few borrowed lingo but fully involved as I somehow missed not the intended recipient's message core, and that's a second chance and unity with strong belief in our mandated incumbents. I am happy indeed. A great choice we made with you" with tears down his cheeks.
COO: "to priddy much sum it up, this man here, isn't about second chance if I hear him correctly. His message is about second phase to the vision" (feeling good as CBO nodded).
CBO: "let's act and move in concert" (he added to COO's statement).
Chairman: "I guess this reaffirmed our hopes pinned on your capabilities as our management. If there's nothing more to discuss, I propose we close.
Board secretary: "there's one more item to table,,,the budget for new markets."
Chairman: "that's no longer necessary."
Board secretary: "oookay! The details of the CBO's mode of operation?"
The sway board member: "oh that, what an incredible question. How CBO?"
COO: "that? I can answer myself. It's priddy much simple really. We keep anchor advertising spend as is and go online for personalized brand experience without breaking the bank balance."
CMO: "it's great in that we don't need to rebrand but shake the naming off a bit by soft relaunch of the branch names provincially"
Board member 1: "I love that. Give an idea of what they could be called."
Sales Director: "main branch bear it's Luxembourg and subs under it."
The sway board member: "now I'm confused."
Chairman: "I think we okayed this without proper thought to it."
CBO: "okay, here's how it goes. We either remain with the main bank name, Rimo Bank as is and create a new sub below it and name it with a brand new name per province. This means we'll be having a different small bank we compete with that's ours in each province. The only downside to that may be taking satellite branches and convert them to reduce the cost of establishing the sub brands."
Chairman, with a huge sigh of relief said: "I honestly am flabbergasted. I'm floored. Let's do that."
CBO: "I know you're having another dormant licence, we can cut the application for another and form a new multi-brand sub. We can start anytime. But first, its corporate colours."
Chairman: "blue and yellow will do. Thanks for this."
Board member 6: "please explain to me expressly what our benefit would be from the whole exercise?"
CBO: "the upside is double gains from doubled margins from the subs. Some of the consumers will be still from Rimo, whom some we'll be losing forever whilst some would be double agents of contribution in that they'll be keeping the Rimo card and the sub as the other. It's exciting if think of it honestly. There's no harm except growth on our side."
Board member 6: "we'll see how it goes."
CBO: "dip into into and you'll come back screaming for a dive in I tell you."
Board member 6: "you sound sure about it. I'll remain reserved and wait for its actualization."
Chairman: "anyone in favour?" (All raised hands in favour except board member 6) and the chairman closed the curtain on the session.
COO: "to priddy much sum it up, this man here, isn't about second chance if I hear him correctly. His message is about second phase to the vision" (feeling good as CBO nodded).
CBO: "let's act and move in concert" (he added to COO's statement).
Chairman: "I guess this reaffirmed our hopes pinned on your capabilities as our management. If there's nothing more to discuss, I propose we close.
Board secretary: "there's one more item to table,,,the budget for new markets."
Chairman: "that's no longer necessary."
Board secretary: "oookay! The details of the CBO's mode of operation?"
The sway board member: "oh that, what an incredible question. How CBO?"
COO: "that? I can answer myself. It's priddy much simple really. We keep anchor advertising spend as is and go online for personalized brand experience without breaking the bank balance."
CMO: "it's great in that we don't need to rebrand but shake the naming off a bit by soft relaunch of the branch names provincially"
Board member 1: "I love that. Give an idea of what they could be called."
Sales Director: "main branch bear it's Luxembourg and subs under it."
The sway board member: "now I'm confused."
Chairman: "I think we okayed this without proper thought to it."
CBO: "okay, here's how it goes. We either remain with the main bank name, Rimo Bank as is and create a new sub below it and name it with a brand new name per province. This means we'll be having a different small bank we compete with that's ours in each province. The only downside to that may be taking satellite branches and convert them to reduce the cost of establishing the sub brands."
Chairman, with a huge sigh of relief said: "I honestly am flabbergasted. I'm floored. Let's do that."
CBO: "I know you're having another dormant licence, we can cut the application for another and form a new multi-brand sub. We can start anytime. But first, its corporate colours."
Chairman: "blue and yellow will do. Thanks for this."
Board member 6: "please explain to me expressly what our benefit would be from the whole exercise?"
CBO: "the upside is double gains from doubled margins from the subs. Some of the consumers will be still from Rimo, whom some we'll be losing forever whilst some would be double agents of contribution in that they'll be keeping the Rimo card and the sub as the other. It's exciting if think of it honestly. There's no harm except growth on our side."
Board member 6: "we'll see how it goes."
CBO: "dip into into and you'll come back screaming for a dive in I tell you."
Board member 6: "you sound sure about it. I'll remain reserved and wait for its actualization."
Chairman: "anyone in favour?" (All raised hands in favour except board member 6) and the chairman closed the curtain on the session.
Getting out of the boardroom with many handshakes to him, Jomel received a text message from CEO saying: "Even though I don't know your reason for saving me, but thank you. I owe you that much." He looked for him but was nowhere to be seen, and he went to his office and found him not in. He then resorted to scribing him back and said: "Your ascention, that's all. Thanks again." For the CEO receiving that message, his mind wandered for the rest of the day trying to figure out what it meant to the point of him forwarding it to his former mentor, Danielle Farling, the author of three best selling books on mental health, social well-being and living free off guilt. She told him that the sender is actually spelling out their aim of taking over after his move to the next level of his career. Hearing that, CEO called Jomel for a sit-in in his office.
Upon sitting down, the first thing he asked Jomel was why the message and when will he pay him off. With a smile he said to him: "you're a good day to my average monthly collection, that's why. Having you out works no wonders for me in that chances are I might not see you again on that level forever. At 33, I'm an omnifit for the 34 year old's safe yeik, but I'm not here for that stupidity, for your age says there's still a lot of mysterious mastery to build around it. The space is played by legacy behind as a measure of future past to construct, and at Rimo, what's yours? It's an honour and a privilege for one to be in the same space as owners of a bank and tell them to trust me with their risks for their livelihoods. Your walk out may happen never again in another similar set catch, so, disappoint never your opportunity for that. As for me honestly, an elite dream every time I'm in their power arousing presence as it's a cool seasonable moment of shine, and if I don't mesmerize, chances are I might find myself out with no next plan to try out anywhere in anyone's hard built entity that's ready for my idea housing. I ain't got no time for personal vendettas, my eyes are fixated on the real prize and that is making sure my opportunity bringers are certainly happy about my relationship with them and their entity. And, I don't think you hate me but feeling threatened by me hence you blew your chance to use as affirmation of you to them as a better leader, a move today that left you saddled securely only as a man on borrowed glory. Made it okay yourself to have your name ditched for access grant for it to be in the colour book given to weaklings to kick out their boredom with. Rest powered with assurance that your moment of truth is coming and that your growth will be as well my reflection of us working well together. The only payment to me is you performing exceptionally and making our names be up there. Good morning to your career with me man" and shook his hand anew. "To team leadership" and CEO clapped to that." Up he was and out of the CEO's office.
Soon as he left the CEO called Danielle for the update and she fell instantly in love with the CBO's acute intelligence soon after hearing his loud sureness of himself in the playback. "He sounds like a new flavoured smog in an anti-smoking area" she said to herself upon dropping the fone. What Jomel didn't know was that he was being recorded during his stay and only God knows where the recording will end or when it'll be used against him one day. Sad thing is, Jomel isn't the type to do such to another, and is disliked by some for his honesty. Danielle was intrigued to an extent of doing a check on him online.
The following day CEO went into Jomel's office and made self comfortable, said to him: "tell me who's words these are, 'Keep the keepables, that's how we respect you.' Just guess" and Jomel didn't know, and CEO said: "my mentor, Danielle Farling" sounding proud and authoritative.
Jomel: "Wow, I like her though no convert fan as yet. Now this, 'Help with in. Not with out.' Guess who wrote those?" as he looked at CEO who was lost.
CEO asked: "who wrote those? Got no clue at all. First time hearing them, but damn."
Jomel: "thought provoking, hey!'
CEO: "definitely. But who's that?"
Jomel: "Boitumelo Madisha. A new South African blogger, should check his blog out, thoughtprovokingsoul.blogspot.com, it's very interesting."
CEO: "yeah, thanks. Do forward me his link so I check it out."
Jomel: "just search for strongsoulwiththought, you'll give me your hand."
CEO: "man, thanks again for yesterday. I thought about your words the whole of yesternight, and came to appreciate this opportunity. Thanks to you, I'm grateful" with a straight face.
Jomel: "it's me who's more thankful." And as they were still enjoying the moment, a call came in and he wasted no time getting out of Jomel's office.
A week later, a mid-height chubby belle knocked on the door of Jomel's office in trying to find the CEO's office. She didn't introduce herself and thanked him for the assistance. Jomel noticed quickly that he might not be wrong in thinking that the woman was actually on a scout venture not lost. She's fine but too old for him he guess. When the day retires CEO popped in for a gloat that he was with Danielle and went out to lunch together. Asked how she was dressed, he knew for sure it wasn't an innocent per chance. He said nothing to CEO and was back to his duties with smiles checking the time to go see some friends at the local pub, something he hadn't done in long.
Few days later with the Chairman on the fone, Jomel noticed that there was a good day to record the win from as he was inviting him over at his home later on that day. At 4 p.m he was out for the 5 p.m meeting. Getting there at 4:51 the Chairman took to the swimming pool for feet dipping. The two had a lot of interesting stuff to chat about and that there was a big contact that needs someone who is a team player for him to close it, since he's too weak for that and also because he trusted him better. Jomel asked if hadn't he been in the picture would then be the CEO? "Yes" the old man said. Just that Jomel is more the fit the assignment required. Lastly, he asked if the CEO has ever done such a deal and was told a big fat 'no'. They shook hands on it and he left without eating a thing.
In the days leading to the assignment the Chairman reminded him. Jomel asked what it's about but was told it's big enough to earn him 25 blocks if he nailed it. Then, a day before, Jomel sat with the CEO and asked him what his biggest ever deal he had brokered for the bank was, and he said it was a groundbreaking €41 bln almost a year ago. With curiosity he was into the demand path for his question for it didn't sound casual. Jomel insisted on not telling him but in the end told him. And, when going to negotiate it, he tagged the CEO along. They went together, and the Chairman received a call informing him of the mix in play, and apologized, requesting they go back on their offer as there's a taint in the room. The CEO understood it was at him direct, but the CBO stood up and out he was with him. When Chairman called him he said he couldn't stand the sight of people who insults his colleague. With no admiration to that spirit of team play, the Chairman ordered a square off between the two to show Jomel who CEO actually is. On the very evening, the Chairman called Jomel to tell him how the person he keeps protecting won't do same as he does him.
In a matter of three days, the CEO got a call from a major business agent for an opportunity to meet with him for a deal with some South Asian executives. The same caller did as with the CEO but put the deal otherwise with different times and places. As is the norm with Jomel, he invited the CEO along but him tight lipped about his deal. He said to Jomel that he's got an errand to run before the meeting and but will be back before the time to go. He went to attend the meeting alone. Back after his appointment, went with Jomel for his appointment. When there, the CEO was on top form and got into the negotiations on negatives of the positives he said for his meeting. It was same deal, different location, different faces, and the CEO didn't have the decency to come clean about it and recuse himself from it. They concluded and before they leave, were invited to the back of the building for some acquaintance.

Getting in there, the CEO found the very people he was with were having a good time and with a meal and drinks. Then one of the hosts said to the CEO: "come on in, why hit the brakes? Let's enjoy and conclude since both teams are here, and you too are here for them."
Jomel asked: "what's he on about, what other team? Been here before?"
The CEO: "not exactly, but all is under control."
Jomel: "what under control?"
Host: "we were together earlier on at the other location, so, we figured why not do the conclusion since he followed us here. Jomel: "I don't get it, somewhere with him? At the kid's birthday party to do what? You guys are full of jokes."
Host: "what party? What am I missing here? Or maybe I should call my partners to clear this."
With guilt the CEO said: "I was on my way to the party and thought of our appointment and cut that."
Jomel: "you mean that you didn't get there? Your child's costume and gifts you told me about weren't true? I shouldn't have been this stupid."
The CEO: "I'm sorry man."
Host: "what's going on? He didn't tell you about our meeting with him?"
Jomel: "maybe he forgot to tell me."
Host: "clearly our money could've been in the wrong hands."
Jomel: " I don't get you. There's been a misunderstanding with my partner and that can't be used against a pitch."
Host: "let me correct you. I'm not talking about that or him, I mean, you were the wrong choice for us. We wanted you to handle our Belgium transactions and you shown us a clear bad judge of character by failing to see what your partner is to you before us. What about all those liars you're to deal with using our money. We can't entrust you with that much, no."
Jomel: "you mean he cost me by lying?"
Host: "no, you have none but yourself to blame. So, CEO would you be willing to accept our offer and but with a condition that you rework your pitch to our taste and with the exception that this man not be part of the account?"
The CEO: "thank you Sir, I won't have any issue with any of the above-mentioned."
Jomel: "I can't believe this! You lied and get to win the deal?" and stormed out to catch a cab and back to the office to complain to the Chairman.
Once getting there he demanded to meet with the Chairman who told him he was on his way out to celebrate a big account deal with the CEO for his excellent pitch. He said what he's about to tell him is too important for that celebration. The PA to the Chairman said to him he be short as the driver is already waiting outside. In tears Jomel apologized for having not listened to them about their warnings about the CEO. The Chairman then said: "you sound serious, what's on? I don't have all day."
Jomel: "that man played me and today he took my deal right under my nose."
The Chairman: "you mean the pitch that won was yours and he stole it or what?"
Jomel told the Chairman every detail and the Chairman said to him: "in here, we care less about your feelings and wrong choices, I get you but that isn't the money for us, and what the money is, is what the CEO delivered, not everyone can bring in such a big one. He deserves the million euros non-taxable bonus he's earned."
Jomel: "how much is the account?"
The Chairman: "it's worth €460 bln. And, for every sixth month you earn a million as long as it's active."
Jomel: "those men talked about a 25 year deal. Are you for sure?" throwing his hands away.
The Chairman: "and I'll see you when I'm back because I'm told something negative about you."
Jomel: "I'm sorry Sir, I'm honest."
The Chairman: "please, if you don't mind, I have a celebration to attend to. And you, in the meantime, will say nothing about anything, you hear me?"
Jomel: "yes I won't, and sorry again Sir."
Jomel couldn't believe what happened to him. Talking to the Chairman's PA, he was left gasping coming across one of his one on one discussions with the CEO, and knew he was a wrong judge of character it's true. The PA assured him that one of the recordings was in the Chairman's desk drawer, and he hadn't checked it as yet. In it, the note said it's highly confidential and attentioned to him. All I know is you have something said that'll sure put him off. Later on, just before the knock off time, the Chairman called for both CBO and the CEO to his office. The two went in and rivalry brewed intense all of a sudden, and the Chairman said:
The Chairman: "I'm very much happy for the results of today, but then
am disappointed by some disturbing trust issues sentiments that I just need to clear right now. CEO, what's actually happening with the pitch? And you, CBO, how did you record me and want to blackmail me?"
Jomel: "Blackmail? Me? No! I heard from your PA about the recordings. I don't know anything about that."
The Chairman: "you're mentioning the wrong person but it's fine, because you think you can get away with it."
Jomel: "what's really happening here. Sir, I swear, it can be him, given what he's done to me."
The Chairman: "what has he done to you that's new?"
The CEO: I'm sorry for this little misunderstanding, with a minute outside I believe we can solve it."
The Chairman: "or better, I go out to make my calls from the boardroom." (And out he was)
The CEO: "what's really happening man?"
Jomel: "don't you dare touch me. Don't talk to me. You betrayed me, can't do it again."
The CEO: "I know man, but between us, I'm the one who needs it the most. It's not that I lie, I was shielding you."
Jomel: "but why took the deal fully knowing it's my win not yours, and with terms of my exclusion?"
The CEO: "well that's not my call to make but the clients', and the choice wasn't mine but rather what's good for the company, you should've known better."
Jomel: "you're a snake, I was blinded all this time. Now, what is this thing about me recording the Chairman?"
The CEO: "you tell me, allegations are on you. Who knows, you might be having something on me as well to..." (the door opens again and was not the Chairman in but the PA on the fone saying that they're still in bed together and put some paper on the table that's attached to a grey DL size envelope as she hung up.)
PA: "guys, please see yourselves out and to your offices to see what you're told via a letter on your desks. If there's nothing more, I think you go to your offices as of now. Thanks"
The CEO: "any clue why?'
Jomel: "thank you."
The two left and the office locked.
Into the office the exact envelope was on the desk and he opened it. It informed him of a special urgent meeting that they were to attend, with the agenda mainly on the breach of ethical code by the CEO and gross insubordination by the CBO. He was pained by how it all was going at him wrong. In three hours time they were in the boardroom with the same friendly faces they've come to know, though by some degree they looked in the thick staled air that proved it wasn't nice. The meeting commenced and after observed protocol, the CEO raised his hand and asked to be excused due to the fact that he's decided to tender a resignation letter to the relevant personnel. Before the Chairman could say anything, he turned and exited. The board members looked at each other and the Chairman wrote a note to that effect. The meeting proceeded sans him.
The Chairman said: "now that your friend is out of the picture because of his bad streak, what's your take on that?
Jomel: "can't say I'm surprised, after what I've just realized about him."
Board member 1: "which is?"
Jomel: "I can't go into its depth but he's not a good memory for me, that's all I can say about him from now on."
HRD: "I believe you're gonna say that for a very long time I must state."
Jomel: "what does that mean?"
The Chairman: "we aren't here to be deeb dabbing with you on someone who made his immediate choice to simplify matters for us. The crux of the matter now is your untrustworthy to us and the gross insubordinate behaviour displayed over the course of the past weeks. My word of order weren't a thing to you, the weight was leaned towards the side of the now exCEO. It's been on more than two occasions and that meant it was the norm for you. As such, we won't be beating round the bush about it, you are suspended with immediate effect and are relieved from your duties as a CBO of Rimo Bank, and all your contributions to the Bank Group shall be in place and of use by the Bank Group as the rightful owner of the said material. You have 10 days to respond to us via email, or phone call, or registered letter, informing us of the reasons why we shouldn't terminate your employment with us, and to further state what should be done in future about such behaviour should it be that your services are used in the value chain of the Bank Group. Should you be a day late we will consider your contract of employment as terminated, and reasons for such not to form any part of the board proceedings in that eventuality. And should it be that upon receipt of your written or heard response, the board shall convene to that effect and make a decision on that, of which the final decision to be in writing to your domicile address for hand delivery. Are we clear about that? If you are you will say 'yes' and if not you will say 'no' to that."
Jomel: "Blackmail? Me? No! I heard from your PA about the recordings. I don't know anything about that."
The Chairman: "you're mentioning the wrong person but it's fine, because you think you can get away with it."
Jomel: "what's really happening here. Sir, I swear, it can be him, given what he's done to me."

Are we clear about that? If you are you will say 'yes' and if not you will say 'no' to that."
Jomel: "understood. It's just that it's my first time ever going through this process in my life and..."
The Chairman: "all there is to it will be deemed justification and resistance. Do you want us to rule on that?"
Jomel: "I'm very much sorry, I didn't know what I was doing. I just wanted to be the good team player I am to him."
Board member 2: "ohhh, while serving him not us! Good job."
Jomel: "I'm sorry."
The Chairman: "for dates on days you were giving us a cold shoulder, the HRD may at any time furnish you with them should you find the need for that."
Jomel: " thanks"
The Chairman: "you're now dismissed from this formal gathering."
And Jomel went out with regret and disbelief. He might be fired because of his blind trust to a snake, he was full of venom to spit. He went home to sleep the pain better. He was in the glory of a messy wax he was supposed to have been out from the beginning. It was tough in his words to speak his regret to the next. His life was on the half-clutch of a comma, the pain experienced in new decimals to no full stop. Jomel couldn't believe Loic Bauwens could be as cold as that. A lesson he was learning about taking sides and failing to be the minion to the Lord of board he was to obey. He knew he should've known better to use his enemy resourcefully. He cried all night for his wrong take. The harshness of the corporate world a dim out to the shout of a deaf and a muted promise of a clue to the blind eye, he now realized.
He wrote a sob letter to the board with the hope that they will be in favour of him at best, and send it via email. Within a day the board convened over it and the final decision made on him. They then instructed the board secretary to inform him about their decision and recourse thereof. The driver the following day made a stop and drop off, and he acknowledged receipt. He was finished, the dream was in demise, the shield was taken away and the tides were no longer allowing a glide on his surf board. The dream was without wings and appealing the decision a futile exercise for starters, so he made peace with that fact and moved on. Sad thing was when he called the CEO's number and feeling like he was speaking to some stranger and knew the darkness of his day soon came and with hope soonest will be his new break of dawn. He was now in the unemployment stats and three months went passed on the same platform, then understood what being discouraged from job seeking felt like. He tried friends from the industry and none came through for him.
One day he couldn't contain his pain the time he found himself in the local bank branch of his own thought. Instead of pride, he broke down and floored the tiles with tears of regret. He was in the queue to apply for what he created. He just never thought it like that from the corner of his soul by then, now here he was wishing he qualify for a bank account he could afford for a person like him. The unpredictability to life a moth on a rock. He frequented pubs and restaurants to try his luck with any executive he could have a chance with, but none could listen to his despatched desperation. Year two clocked, and he threw in the towel and on the following day of his unemployed status anniversary in the morning, with obvious wailing support from his parents, went to the pawn shop to pawn his fone. He bought a bath liquid, toothbrush and toothpaste, went back home to have a proper bath. He bathe for a period not less than 90 minutes.
Out of the tub, he stood for some time naked in front of his full length mirror to think of what he could be next. He wore his physique accordingly and stepped out to the concrete jungle a new man. He put aside his qualifications and his now irrelevant track record and hit the ground to sell himself to any next taker. He did that for eight consecutive days until he met an adult entertainment agent who took him to his apartment for auditions, for which he nailed and was told he could be a solo model or an actor. Tired with self-pleasurism, he chose to be a porn actor and was hooked with a director to prep him before being on set. He was then given a try out with MissMerize and the connection wasn't there, and another suitor was organised and her too. He was asked a few questions about his true sexual orientation and nothing concrete came out of him. He stuck to solo sets and he was given a date to start, and a form filled on the territories he wished to not be seen in.
On the day he was to appear on set, he developed cold feet and ditched the job. He was positive he could bump into another person who can help and he kept pressing on until he met this beautiful lady who was driving a swanky highline sedan. She asked him to come with to her home. Jomel was taken by the manicured gardens and large paving area that he imagined staying there for good, especially after hearing that the woman was staying alone. Once inside their dialogue box ticker ran fast and quickly promises were flying off the top ceilings and walls couldn't help but notice the drama that's to unfold. The woman had a door delivery for the both of them and they enjoyed a good meal. The woman in the jist of the meal downing, realized that Jomel was too tipsy and she put her foot on the paddle and started asking him about his background and was satisfied afterwards. She went to bed and left him there by the lounge.
In the morning Jomel regathered himself and toured the whole mansion. In the top second room found the right door open and he went in. He heard the shower was on and sneaked for a peep preview. He saw a beautiful stranger with a dragon fly tattoo on her upper left thigh. She was in a shower and didn't hear not nor see him enter, and he watched her shower and getting shaved. He couldn't hold himself and unzipped his jeans to release a load of healthly thick semen. Still high from the act, the shower stopped and he exited quickly and ran downstairs. The woman noticed the semen sap and took her robe, down to the lounge and asked him how it was for him. He freezed, and she said that he should be patient as the day is still in its birth and in its early aging should be ripe for picking in any position he may wish for. Jomel never asked for her name but she had his. She told him to go take a bath or shower and she'll be back. Jomel went to shower.
Coming out of shower Jomel found that the house was left for him to enjoy the space alone. He wanted to make himself some breakfast, and but weirdly was no food anywhere to find. Understandable to him was that the woman went to buy them food or some grocery to cook. She later indeed came back and they had an angel's meal. He soon after eating fell asleep. He woke up in a dark box and he screamed and tried pushing and kicking, but nothing was to give. The following day he heard voices from afar, sounds of steel materials clicking and had hoped his rescue was near. Finally the box he was in was moved and lifted. He could feel the hanging from inside and started kicking and screaming again, and still no aid. After 30 or so minutes, the box was opened. He was met with unfamiliar faces talking a foreign language that sounded like they were rapping when they talked. He was in a foreign country with the woman nowhere to be seen. To his side, he was amazed by the number of coffins he saw, and also the number of people he was in transit with, whom are all tied except for him and the other guy supposedly been on the same batch as. Trying to find an answer a heavy something hit his head back and he collapsed. His wake up was at some dinge with others and it set on his mind that he's been trafficked and he needs to do something, but what from nowhere he knew he was?
The Chairman: "all there is to it will be deemed justification and resistance. Do you want us to rule on that?"
Jomel: "I'm very much sorry, I didn't know what I was doing. I just wanted to be the good team player I am to him."
Board member 2: "ohhh, while serving him not us! Good job."
Jomel: "I'm sorry."
The Chairman: "for dates on days you were giving us a cold shoulder, the HRD may at any time furnish you with them should you find the need for that."
Jomel: " thanks"
The Chairman: "you're now dismissed from this formal gathering."
And Jomel went out with regret and disbelief. He might be fired because of his blind trust to a snake, he was full of venom to spit. He went home to sleep the pain better. He was in the glory of a messy wax he was supposed to have been out from the beginning. It was tough in his words to speak his regret to the next. His life was on the half-clutch of a comma, the pain experienced in new decimals to no full stop. Jomel couldn't believe Loic Bauwens could be as cold as that. A lesson he was learning about taking sides and failing to be the minion to the Lord of board he was to obey. He knew he should've known better to use his enemy resourcefully. He cried all night for his wrong take. The harshness of the corporate world a dim out to the shout of a deaf and a muted promise of a clue to the blind eye, he now realized.
He wrote a sob letter to the board with the hope that they will be in favour of him at best, and send it via email. Within a day the board convened over it and the final decision made on him. They then instructed the board secretary to inform him about their decision and recourse thereof. The driver the following day made a stop and drop off, and he acknowledged receipt. He was finished, the dream was in demise, the shield was taken away and the tides were no longer allowing a glide on his surf board. The dream was without wings and appealing the decision a futile exercise for starters, so he made peace with that fact and moved on. Sad thing was when he called the CEO's number and feeling like he was speaking to some stranger and knew the darkness of his day soon came and with hope soonest will be his new break of dawn. He was now in the unemployment stats and three months went passed on the same platform, then understood what being discouraged from job seeking felt like. He tried friends from the industry and none came through for him.
One day he couldn't contain his pain the time he found himself in the local bank branch of his own thought. Instead of pride, he broke down and floored the tiles with tears of regret. He was in the queue to apply for what he created. He just never thought it like that from the corner of his soul by then, now here he was wishing he qualify for a bank account he could afford for a person like him. The unpredictability to life a moth on a rock. He frequented pubs and restaurants to try his luck with any executive he could have a chance with, but none could listen to his despatched desperation. Year two clocked, and he threw in the towel and on the following day of his unemployed status anniversary in the morning, with obvious wailing support from his parents, went to the pawn shop to pawn his fone. He bought a bath liquid, toothbrush and toothpaste, went back home to have a proper bath. He bathe for a period not less than 90 minutes.
Out of the tub, he stood for some time naked in front of his full length mirror to think of what he could be next. He wore his physique accordingly and stepped out to the concrete jungle a new man. He put aside his qualifications and his now irrelevant track record and hit the ground to sell himself to any next taker. He did that for eight consecutive days until he met an adult entertainment agent who took him to his apartment for auditions, for which he nailed and was told he could be a solo model or an actor. Tired with self-pleasurism, he chose to be a porn actor and was hooked with a director to prep him before being on set. He was then given a try out with MissMerize and the connection wasn't there, and another suitor was organised and her too. He was asked a few questions about his true sexual orientation and nothing concrete came out of him. He stuck to solo sets and he was given a date to start, and a form filled on the territories he wished to not be seen in.
On the day he was to appear on set, he developed cold feet and ditched the job. He was positive he could bump into another person who can help and he kept pressing on until he met this beautiful lady who was driving a swanky highline sedan. She asked him to come with to her home. Jomel was taken by the manicured gardens and large paving area that he imagined staying there for good, especially after hearing that the woman was staying alone. Once inside their dialogue box ticker ran fast and quickly promises were flying off the top ceilings and walls couldn't help but notice the drama that's to unfold. The woman had a door delivery for the both of them and they enjoyed a good meal. The woman in the jist of the meal downing, realized that Jomel was too tipsy and she put her foot on the paddle and started asking him about his background and was satisfied afterwards. She went to bed and left him there by the lounge.
In the morning Jomel regathered himself and toured the whole mansion. In the top second room found the right door open and he went in. He heard the shower was on and sneaked for a peep preview. He saw a beautiful stranger with a dragon fly tattoo on her upper left thigh. She was in a shower and didn't hear not nor see him enter, and he watched her shower and getting shaved. He couldn't hold himself and unzipped his jeans to release a load of healthly thick semen. Still high from the act, the shower stopped and he exited quickly and ran downstairs. The woman noticed the semen sap and took her robe, down to the lounge and asked him how it was for him. He freezed, and she said that he should be patient as the day is still in its birth and in its early aging should be ripe for picking in any position he may wish for. Jomel never asked for her name but she had his. She told him to go take a bath or shower and she'll be back. Jomel went to shower.
Coming out of shower Jomel found that the house was left for him to enjoy the space alone. He wanted to make himself some breakfast, and but weirdly was no food anywhere to find. Understandable to him was that the woman went to buy them food or some grocery to cook. She later indeed came back and they had an angel's meal. He soon after eating fell asleep. He woke up in a dark box and he screamed and tried pushing and kicking, but nothing was to give. The following day he heard voices from afar, sounds of steel materials clicking and had hoped his rescue was near. Finally the box he was in was moved and lifted. He could feel the hanging from inside and started kicking and screaming again, and still no aid. After 30 or so minutes, the box was opened. He was met with unfamiliar faces talking a foreign language that sounded like they were rapping when they talked. He was in a foreign country with the woman nowhere to be seen. To his side, he was amazed by the number of coffins he saw, and also the number of people he was in transit with, whom are all tied except for him and the other guy supposedly been on the same batch as. Trying to find an answer a heavy something hit his head back and he collapsed. His wake up was at some dinge with others and it set on his mind that he's been trafficked and he needs to do something, but what from nowhere he knew he was?
They were well fed and in sixes and sevens they were taken out to nowhere and none coming back. The next round saw him too picked, tied and a mask put over his head. Uncovered, he was in a dark room with a spotlight on them lit so the voices he heard could pick. He was taken out and transported to some club. He was a sex slave. He had no access to anyone or a bill to establish his whereabouts, nothing at all. He was later taken upstairs to a locked strong room and forced to a session with this chubby old woman who whipped him endlessly until he rose from the desire sleep he was in, and had a good round for an applause by the old woman. None who chose him spoke English and so he was hopeless. Jomel was reported missing and to date his whereabouts a case of a frog milk to drink...dp
Q_to you, what was Jomel actually punished for? Where do you think he was trafficked to? Was the local sub-bank a good idea? Where should Jomel have been to be safe? What's your key takeaway here?

Scenario 154
Sync 1
The sun was blazing hot in Garapan, Saipan, and Guafi Borja and his girlfriend Ava Reyes were having an argument over who'll walk to the store to buy eggs and olive oil. Their cohabitation already a big topic around town as Guafi has had enough of Ava's bad behaviour as did the ones who came before her. Ava doesn't cook, doesn't clean and doesn't do hard labour chores. This attitude came after one modelling gig that put her face on the 3 major billboards. The two structures were double sided gantry billboards and the last one a building mounted corner to corner self-powered billboard. The success of that campaign saw her behave differently from when he met her. Of late it was vivid that the couple was no longer eating from the same plate. As an island, Saipan is a beautiful place to visit or stay at. The couple loved to go to the world resort but nowadays not the same. The store Guafi runs is a swimwear and bikini outlet. His Billi Bich was popular with tourists more than it did with locals. His success was moderate yet a hit with the Islanders. He was an important figure to the Saipan economic landscape.
What's sad about Guafi was his choice of people he had as lovers, all of them gets into his life not for love but for his status as a business owner and what they could milk out of him. The other lows that were a blow on his side was his kindhearted nature and accessibility to just about any person wishing to be close to him. He was too big on love, caring, sharing, and his forgiveness comes easily. The character he is worked against him as those women all of them took advantage of his beautiful heart.
One neighbour once warned him about it, his women don't respect him and sad for him watching. He adores Guafi very much but he's too into his lovers to see that as he doesn't see same in himself. His love life made him not see his importance in the community and his family. At 36 he was old enough to know what works for him and what not, and his failure to see that in his 24 year old model was utterly sickening to cough the least out.
Ava disrespected him even in front of his family. Whenever they make up she'd demand of him to give her the credit card so she could do a retail therapy. She was swiping the man out. All that she ever do is spend time on the fone, on couch watching reality TV, eating and always entertaining friends. That's all about her. She knows only how to spend money but not making it, especially with him, and not ready to go out and do any other career except modelling gigs.
One beautiful evening at a business forum event, Guafi was introduced to a fine and classy business woman from Samoa by the name of Silao Brown. Silao, a cautious divorcee, aged 33, was a guest speaker at the event. Her name meant 'the one who came from nowhere' after her mother went into hiding after realizing she was pregnant because of her religion. She never really had a good bond with her mother as she only openly acknowledged her very late in her years as her daughter. To this day, none knows how she gave birth, where, when and who the child's father is. Her life has been a mystery and she uses that in business and life in general, as a stalk sweet to unwrap gently before you can get to taste or see its colour. Whomever entering into her immediacy has a tough time demystifying her. She's a subject to decode.
Even on that night, it was hard to read yet intoxicating to imagine yourself with her. She was the first person to notice when in enter, her glow lit up the space. And to much surprise to other attendees was her gaze at Guafi's fingers. She was smitten with him and in wander around his status in private. Silao was married to a very big personality in political circles in Samoa for a brief 20 months before they gunned him down on an eve of a very crucial to him elective conference, together with 4 others after a robbery gone wrong in the nearby hotel. They were caught in a crossfire. In avoiding to be classed as a widow, she opted to divorcing him in death. She buried him as estranged wife to a slain ex-husband. Reasons to that still a mystery to date.
After the formalities done away, she went out for fresh air. Some fellow attendee followed her but got no luck with her in that she was speaking on the fone with a language native to her but foreign to him, and shown him she didn't want to be disturbed or heard what she was on call about. Seeing the guy coming back with a long face then knew that he had a chance with her. He went out and waited for her to finish up with her call.
After her call she asked him for his name with a big smile. They then had a great conversation that he for once forgotten about Ava. They spent two hours in many seasons of life and opportunity for the day future pointed at them as one. Guafi asked her for a stroll around town for some bit of air. Guafi wasn't known in San Roque, hence he was free to roam. Out of the blue Silao asked him about what he's into economically. He said he's into beach wear and accessories, and she was instantly gratifying him. Then he returned the same question to her and she said: "I invest where money never sleeps yet not having a chance at running away from me" and when he asked where that place was, she pointed at herself and broke out in laughter.
"On a serious tip though, I am a pvt equity investor" she expressly stated that. He had met never anyone before at the level they were who's into pvt equity. She was very much approachable and nice unlike the rest he read about or saw from a distance. She explained some few basics about what she does and they were back into the casual chat saddle. She made it clear she's free and available and wanting to move to Saipan, and Guafi an ideal candidate for that. She was very honest and truthful about her every intent, and made Guafi love her. She told him she had a room booked in her name that he was invited to go and keep her company and if possible see her off to bed. They went there and he spent the night and slept on the couch.
In the morning he called Ava only to find that she was drunk already at 8:51. From that point he understood that he's with his future right there in that hotel room and the past was there at home. He was with her until 11:00 when she checked out and exchanged contact details. They went separate ways. Silao was stuck on his mind the whole day, and when he got home he read Ava a riot act and some marching orders followed, and trying to plead with him he read her the peace order. She spent the last night with him in separate bedrooms, and in the morning packed her bags and drove her back home. Her family wasn't surprised as she had been in similar situations more than once. She's a useless liability and he was free to date again. On his way back he checked with Silao only to hear that she's on her way back to Saipan and was to call him in a few more minutes to come.
On his way to welcome her back, his car broke down half way there. He called to inform her of his break down and she said it'll help if he sent her a location of where he was, and he did. Life is indeed something else. In a period of 40 minutes, she was there. To his surprise, she was driving a very smart sleek car. She told him to hop in and some mechanic was on his way to there to fix it and he'll call to bring it once done. They drove to his place and she was impressed with the location. Guafi wasn't comfortable with his home but she told him it's a good start. Silao is a witty lady and Guafi was feeling that. Guafi's house wasn't to her taste, and she asked about where his parents were staying, and he said they're at Laulau. "How comfortable are they living? In comparison to here?" and said it's not like here as here it's better. Then she said: "this's now their home. Let's move elsewhere. Here I'll come for their visit."
This woman is going to upgrade Guafi's life in a big way. "I know you do love me but not sure if we're ever gonna work, rest assured we will be okay me and you. I know what's in your heart is in a ring with what you have in mind. I love you because your look gave me that" to him left smiling and shaking his head in disbelief.
She slept for a day at Guafi's and realized how much he's struggling and she told him he'll leave all those behind as future is comfortable with her. After an hour of her gone out Guafi received a call from an estate agent for him to okay the deal for a palacial home that Silao was about to purchase, and he wasn't sure about it and promised to get back to her. He made a call to Silao and before he could say a word she asked if he'd love to live in such a house, and he said he can't in a thousand years afford to live in a house the price of a hotel, it's a million times his worth. She said it's fine to fear but from now on he should dream big because he has her in his life. He wasn't so confident about himself and his tone screamed at her about that. She asked him to call back the estate agent and agree to the sale, then arrange for the viewing.
He was whisked away in a grand sedan to the location from his store. He was gobsmacked arriving there, shaking and sweating in disbelief. They got in and he was hearing nothing but nodded to everything she was saying. He was in a dream. The estate agent gave him the keys and said the paperwork shall follow in due course. He asked if it was okay to be left behind and the estate agent said: "of course, it's your home, your call, and I just serve your wishes. And please, send my regards to your fiancee" and left. He cried alone, pinching himself and counting himself lucky. He was thankful to himself for having forced to go there despite his car giving him troubles.
Still in that moment, another call was in from an in-home services providers for directions to their home so their in-home service provider could arrive the following day. He laughed and told them to wait for him to go outside and read the address out to them as it's their first day there. They told him to take his time and they'll call after a few moments. He went to one of the neighborhood guards and asked for his address and was given just in time for the back call. Silao called to ask if he liked it or it's not to his taste, and Guafi asked: "are you sure I now stay here? Is this my new address? Please say you're kidding me!" to her saying that: "is that a yes to liking it or what?" and he said: "I love it a million times, thanks." "I'm chuffed. I love you too for loving our new home" before she hung up. Because of hunger he feasted on the show food that was put for display and before he was done a bell rang and he went to open the door. It was a beautiful surprise in front of him. It was his parents. "How did you find me? Who took you here? This is a lovely surprise, do come in. Where are you bags?" and his father said: "our friendly neighbour is busy with our luggage, worry not, here we came for a pop in" to his loss for words.
They thanked him for the beautiful gift he surprised them with. Their gratitude was heartfelt. He told them he ain't got anything to offer them and they told him they understand and that they already had their tummies full. "Is this the new life you're going to live? Son, me and your mom are so proud of you. How did you meet her? She sounds warmly on the fone. We love her very much already. It's clear she's also a business woman. Or am I wrong?" "You're not wrong dad, her name is..." "Silao Brown, she told us" and he paused. "Wait a minute, who drove you here?" and his father said: "but,,,we came by your old car. Or maybe she's tricking us? Or you don't approve?" with a sad face. And he told them that he was still repairing it before he could hand it over, with a smile not so warmly. And they smiled back. They got into catch up chat and a call came in from her to him. He got up and left the room.
"Please don't get mad at me, I had my team arrange everything and give you a surprise. Yesterday I had your parents traced after our talk and had them come over to your old address to stay there as a gift to them. You stay here with me and they now are closer to you and so will my mom, you're to meet her tonight. I want to settle with you and even if you don't love me it'll develop in time, we'll make it work. Please don't act wolfly when I come in as I'm outside parked after their car, your old car. I'm in your new car. I picked Limpopo powder Grey as you said you love Grey shades. Hope you're not angered by all this going too fast, it's my way of showing you my commitment to us, I love you Guafi Borja. I'm coming in now" to the bell ringing.
She got in and they baby kissed and got to physically know her in-laws whom were exactly as they sounded on the call, warm and easy to engage with. They had tea and after they left. The two spent the most of the night talking about all things them going forward. She also had a talk about earnings balance, of which by then requested Guafi to furnish her with his banking details, and he did and they went to other issues. He had no rules for her but his principles and same was with her, and they merged. They woke up late and it mattered not to them, they were happy and coaching their new them. The two had their own tour of their new home and together discovered hidden features of the wonder it is. Guafi was still discreetly pinching himself for having such a strong believer in him in his life as a lover, a beautiful house, ability to make his parents proud and happy, and him being happy about himself. Silao brought a sweep of old and in with new dust to make together as one.
By midday break he almost collapsed of shock that he switched off and onned it twice to be sure if the notification was truly to his number linked to his both personal and business accounts. But the notification was for his personal account which it stated he was US$ 10 036 453.02 richer. He wanted to scream but thought he's not alone in the house. He had no data so he bought it via USSD and double checked into his bank app to verify, and found that it indeed was for him from his woman. He was now a millionaire overnight. He couldn't believe it.
After her shower she found him bare on bedtop with a smile never flashed her way before by him, and asked what was going on, and he said thanks. She was pleased too because she thought he might take it otherwise. To celebrate his new economic status they had an adult play and she was content with her choice of a man. They later went to eat out and back in time to welcome their new in-home assistant. In a few minutes after them she arrived. She was overwhelmed by the sheer size of the home and but relieved that she'd be staying not in the main house. But then, to her surprise, the servants quarters was a full manicured home with three bedrooms all en-suite and too big for her alone to be staying.
Sync 2
Just after settling in she started off with a list of her duties and was perplexed to find that it was too short given how big the house was, but was told there're other two assistants as well who'll be joining her. The first will be the child minder and tutor while the other will be the yard and property maintainer. She was tasked with the grocery list and shown how the order system works and how she's to receive the delivery thereof. Guafi was learning in the same breath as well. Still with the tour of the house with the assistant her mother called to tell her she had just arrived safely. She told her that Alf will fetch her and drive her to her new address with a giggle, and said that's how she's taught to say it and they both laughed about it and dropped. They cut the house tour and went out to welcome her mom.
On the way he asked her how got to his parents contacts, she laughed and said: "l have a team and they have external sources for data sourcing, that's how. As a pvt equity investor she has a broker, a business lawyer, analysts in various various sectors, newsbreakers who connects with external newsmakers who rely on newsfeed agents who depend on internal sources who happens to be employees and at times directors of companies. It's how she works. She does equity deals as shareholders in entities directly and also indirectly as retail investors" and was clear he didn't get it fully.

It's how she works. She does equity deals as shareholders in entities directly and also indirectly as retail investors" and was clear he didn't get it fully.
"So, then,,, how do you choose your man?" With a wry smile she said: "do you want it deep or raw?" and he said both. "I start to worry about my choice, I go for a decisive role player in my inner matters of the heart. But then, I'll forgive this only time. I go for the man according to the looks of other men on him... don't be cocky as yet for I could tell you were the least loaded in that space on the males list. I went for your hunger for where they are. Now that you've just been registered a millionaire your confidence has dramatically experienced a shift, to them and the world you won't be the same and it'll be a confusion to them. They'll doing enquiries all over forgetting about their own businesses, and that's how I choose my man" she said. He said: "in short, you haven't chosen me, I fitted your profile! You're making me" and she flipped back: "you're an omnifit for my heart, yes. I'm just relaunching you to the circles where circuits meet. I loved you for the future you are to my life, and it's presently a gaping probability." She told him they were there and she was already outside opening her arms to hug them.
Unlike his parents, Miss Tagaloa was a reserved somebody. She was jovial about the house and was showing by every move she made. Alf came in and greeted Guafi for his introduction. They had a good time together away from the women and chat about a whole lot of stuff. Guafi learnt a lot about Silao and was more into her and vowing to self to never hurt or leave her. By the time they leave he was convinced about spending the rest of his life with her. Alf is brutally honest and protective about those he cares for, but he was trusting him and he in turn made loud and muted promised to both self and Alf.
Driving off she said how worried she was about Alf as he talks too much and sells her out at times, but hoping it wasn't the case that day, and he just smiled at her without saying a word. Asking why he's silent, said his lips are sealed. Guifa tuned to the stereo to some station and enjoyed some reggae to her surprise, and that affirmed her worries. The trouble was she didn't know much about him and but gave it time.
At night he asked her about her worth and she rose and sat on the bed, wanting to understand what pushed him to that question. He said he was just curious. It was a wrong question he realised and quickly apologized for it and proposed a closure for it. She reopened it: "any man who's quick to open his woman's purse is perceived as a fortune snatcher, please don't make me look at you like that" with a serious face of disappointment, and he rephrased: "I'm worried about my cost to your bankability" then she responded by saying: "my liquidity is intact, your status my importance. It costs US$ 6.695 million to shelter us and a further future cost of US$ 9 000 per month for three way pro rata wages for our assistants". He reminded him about her daughter who'll be joining them not long.
Asking about the new car he's driving, she said it's from your own share of spoils, not mine, and so is the same with the Billi Bich in Guam, San Roque and lastly Dandan. He sobbed, and she said: "it's okay, it's your break. They've been playing with your good heart and I'm here to mend it. Be here with me and your story will never be the one to forget beyond you. So, did you hear me ask you about your worth? And tomorrow you'll be taken to all your locations and have your staff to interview and work for you. Love you, and good luck." The feedback feeling was just too cordial to be mutual, he broke down and cried, and she cried together with him. She thanked him for allowing her into his life, and him in turn for her having chosen him for a future sole mate.
The next morning he drove with Ayela to all those locations and couldn't contain his feelings of joy. The prime locations they were at were a dream out of a leafy magazine. He called her to have her if possible arrange for staffing solutions, but she reminded him it's his business therefore his own call to make. He started making calls for recruitment and in the same length be planning opening dates. The real business was starting. By day end he went past his parents home and also to properly say his byes to his neighbours.
While inside he noticed some major changes that he didn't know whether to compliment or keep quiet. He quickly went out to make another call to her to get clarification on the fixtures and fittings in the parents home. She told him that he bought them new furniture and gave them his old car. He went back inside and asked them how they were doing and they were settling just fine. He told his parents about his new outlets and left thereafter with the promise to take them with in future.
A week later she was with him in Guam and the staff were receiving training, and how he was carrying himself left Silao smitten with her man. Once they were out she told him that she loved his manish ego in presence of his staff, he stamped his power and they bowed to it. A month later he traveled with them and they were astonished by the success of their son that they questioned why hadn't he hired some of the family members. He point blank told them that family will dig your dip, as such he's best far from them.
One morning he mentioned his wish to do something for his extended family and she suggested he opened a store for them and have his parents frequent it for order. In a space of two months he did that and opened a tech store. To his surprise, the two graduates were running it better than he thought and leading the other three perfectly. They proved that they wanted an opportunity in life. He was impressed by the dedication they showed and in a year's time had them have an equity in the business. They held 19% of Pip Tech in split of 2 x 5% and 3 x 3% respectively. After that they performed even better.
While minding his business in his Guam outlet, a big guy walked into the store and from his office he observed every move until he walked out without buying any item. A minute later two more got in and a familiar framed figure walked in with two by his side. Out his office glass he realised it was a known actor and he got out to greet him and he told him he's there for a feature in a movie shot locally and will be there for three days. He bought skateboards, shorts, yoga pants and scuba gear. They exchanged contacts and two days later they met up.
Their chill out was at the hotel they were booked in, and other actors joined in. As the 'faya wota' sprung everywhere, courtesy of Billi Bich, secrets got out and one of them was the news that Guafi was married to a multi-millionaire investor in the US who's 'muma' runs an up and coming flame grilled food, known well for its tasty flame grilled salmon, known as Flaym Flayvr. He was in frames with almost the whole crew and cast, and his face instantly was a hit online. He wasn't expecting that but the blow up was a runaway success. Billi Bich was everywhere, and his name worse. Getting home he was celebrated and his outlets all of a sudden experiencing stock flying off the shelves and racks. It was a good thing. Alone he understood why Silao told him that she's relaunching him to the circles where circuits meet. He was now a social figure of success that the community is respecting. He would at times when solo mostly in shower or when driving be talking to self about how 'thee man' he now was. Their home now receiving popular guests whenever they flew into Saipan. All the loaded men of then where wearing their hats off for him.

As the saying goes, "more money more problems" that found its way into their lives. Silao was somehow feared unlike the featherweight Guafi. He opened a leeway of troubles into their lives and the target was actually Silao and him being the instrument of torture for her. To upset Silao you go via her immediacy and Guafi was that heart poker prop perfect for the job. He was allover and easy to trace unlike his woman.
After hardly a week of their cozied affair with family and friends over vows exchange ceremony, Guafi started having friends that had his parents and relatives worried about. The problem was that he was too big for them to advise or reprimand, he was loaded and respected everywhere, and that had an attitude effect on his behaviour around his family but still self around his wife and wife's family. Ad such, it was hard for Silao to see the new lifestyle pattern until the day he went all quiet online and offline, and then stories came rushing to her noise collection hub about the social flops of her dearly loved. The search was on and the police put together a task force team for that after their instincts pointed them to what they suspected was on, and not long it was confirmed. It was an abduction for ransom.
Guafi turned himself into an envy of many figures in the circuit, and that a mistake he was to make his wife pay dearly for in that she knows how but the husband too naive for such high level lessons. He was still too raw and flashing pretty paper lights to the wrong boom swingers. He was receiving his baptism into the circuit and if not well tended could prove fatal. In three hours his mother received a call from an anonymous line about the PTQL guide she needed to follow if he still wanted his precious golden boy alive. The voice instructed her to not involve more people as it'll be a sacrifice of her son. They reminded her that they've got nothing to lose but a whole lot for them to gain.
She relayed the message to Silao and her husband. Reading the pain in Silao's face, Guafi's father said to her: "it's clear that my son wronged someone somewhere, and they're targeting you indirectly because they know you're the one with the means of what's to follow as a demand. We told him, his new way of life isn't good at all but his ear is too big for small voices of late, now look what he's brought us" and Silao just sat there and later after drinking starch water from her father-in-law, said that the best chance of getting her husband back is to never involve the police and pay whatever they demanded, and that they should just wait for the next call. To their worry was the long run the contact wasn't made. What was going on?
The police came in and started wiring the mother's fone. Not long after the call came in but this time to the father and demanded an amount of US$ 5 million in cash and trying to get further details the voice told him that they know what he's trying to do and if go through with it would lose his precious son. The call was dropped. The police did the same with the father's fone and with proactive approach did that to even Silao's fone. Guafi's father wasn't happy with the involvement of police as that compromised his son's life. Still deep in dissatisfaction mode Silao winked at him and he didn't read the sign carefully. All tones were put on the table and use was now with limitations.
With the team comprised of males only, Silao faked an illness and said: "mom, the abdominal aortic valve, please come to dress my wound again. I can't contain it anymore" and before she could ask, her husband quickly moved with the trick and said to Guafi's mother to go help her quick with a thickety voice. He ordered they close the door. He was now getting relief from the fact that his daughter-in-law was driving a different course to that of the police. Once in the toilet, Silao told her mother-in-law that she's suspecting foul play about the whole saga and that next they'll be calling her fone and as a result was handing over the pvt fone she communicates with everyone close to her and that one on the table the one to conduct business. She put it on vibration mode and told her to be in the kitchen to prepare lunch to buy time so that she gets the location and they can send someone trustworthy to do the whole arrangement with.
They agreed and they went out, and to be convincing, Silao got out stretching her skirt and sassing the looks of the police team. Guafi's mother volunteered to cook lunch. Guafi's father was then more at ease as he knows his wife can't act. Soon a call came through on the mother's fone from another line again for further instructions. They gave her the drop-off location and time, plus their son's collection point. She wrote them down. The minute she dropped, another call to Silao got in but from a supplier and they had a simple conversation and was out. It was followed by another from a friend of Guafi saying he heard on the stereo about Guafi's abduction and she denied it and said it's just a sick media prank and that Guafi was ill and had been out of action for almost 26 hours, and to give him a call once he feels better. Sensing the relief from the task team leader, she became sure that her suspicion wasn't far fetched.
Silao asked him: "how does it occur that the media gets hold of this sensitively handled story? Her husband is now a sensationalized media scoop?" before she told them she was done and will go rescue her man with his father alone without them. Trying to convince her not to, she fell and screamed out for help from her mother. She asked to be on the sofa to arrange for the money with her banker, and the team leader said there's no need for that as it's already arranged by the police and working round the clock to secure the said locations. She after catching a breath asked for another dressing as she felt watery after the fall. It was a convincing run.
They went into the toilet again and had called her banker for ransom arrangement and had called Guafi's fone for true location and told them that they knew that it's a test, so she told them the person other than them will come to hand the money over and to please hand her husband over else she'll be forced to play it dirty with her clique, and the scare worked. They called Guafi's close cousin for assistance and hooked him up with her banker for the transaction. And she directed him to only text not call. Once out she asked to lie on the couch. In the meantime the police were busy with calls and on the other side the rescue mission was ongoing.
The transaction went smooth and the police waited and nothing happened and a call was made to the father to inform him to tell the police to call off their bluff as the mission was aborted and that they can go collect him at the other location. The police went there and once again the media was already on the story. He was reported to have been rescued by the police and the story was wrapped as that with the team leader claiming glory. The very night Guafi was sat down by his wife and parents about the ways of his life and its dangers. His father told him to thank his wife and mother and cousin for the release as through the police they could've lost him maybe because of an infiltration of external sources into some sensitive operations.
The next morning the task team leader called to thank them for having saved the whole saga as it wouldn't have been the case as it has emerged who the instigators are. They caught the internal sources who leaked information and got intelligence on how the rescue went about. With eased success of Guafi's ransom, the same happened with a flamboyant magnate's daughters, and by luck was foiled through help from the confession by the caught internal sources. In three days the state insurer paid back every cent lost due to the compromise that resulted to a failed operation of rescue because of rotten elements in the police set up. Guafi's friend came to commend his family for a swift proactive approach to the saga. Guafi toned down and his parents were pleased with the person he became and how loving he then was to his wife.

Pip Tech gradually grew and as a token of her appreciation to Guafi's cousin she bought in and gave it an elevation that surpassed that of Billi Bich. Guafi was investing into property market and on his own started playing from lower heights to maintain a lower profile he was now at. A repeat episode gave him spine chilling thoughts. Guafi almost fainted the day he was reliably informed on the real status of her wife's financials. She was off the radar because she invested privately and to his dismay got shown her worth on paper, and was in fact reporting that her private equity firm was to date sitting on a heart thumping US$ 4.631 billion and her insurance company at US$ 11.207 billion. He was married out of community of property but growing him as she had a beneficiation model that saw him rake in US$ 3.6 million per annum for the wealth accumulation with him in marriage. She just never cared to mention that to her until the day it clocked into his account and explained to him.
His parents are as a result receiving US$ 670K per annum in the model while for her mother undisclosed. Guafi's parents passed some of the money to his four siblings. His marriage is a true benefit for the entire family and none wants anything bad to happen to them, especially the cousins.
Q_can you empower a man you marry with so much money and keep sharing with them? Would you forgive a lover for questioning your financial status after an engagement? Where is Saipan?

Scenario 153
'It's a long way to have it, it's a long way to wealth' I must say, said Jix Nugalis, a truck driver turned truck business owner. Jix was saying these words to a class of business management students. He was invited to address the class as part of the bi-monthly lecture by a guest who is in the sector or field which is in focus to what they're treating at the moment. Jix was there to touch base with them on the topic of deskilling; its impact on the socio-economic factors, its upside and downside, coping mechanisms by those affected and the underlying creative opportunities brought by it. In his case, he is a qualified diesel mechanic and was redeployed to truck driver after a company's cost saving exercise.
As a driver he earned lesser and worked longer hours. He was shifted to give room for new technological equipment bought to fix vehicles, and also age was a deciding factor that worked against him. He drove for two years and switched. For starters, he deposited a truck and entered into a deal with his previous employer as a driver owner and never looked back. Today with help from his bank, he owns eighteen trucks, in a space of six years. Deskilling had a negative effect on his affected fellow colleagues and three of them are his employees today. If hadn't it been for his graceful family support and belief, especially from his daughter whom he still rely on todate, he couldn't have coped. Her thinking changed how he viewed the downside to everyone's challenges, hence he's now in front of students.
Jix's daughter, Cordelia, is a Corporate sociologist at Garcia Communications (GC), a PR consultancy firm in Mexico. Cordelia helps Jix Nugalis Logistics on pro-bono and attends to its business only on Saturdays as she works a 5 days week. It never bores working her shifts in that she does a lot of things. Miling her shift entail spiritual issues, community ills, business links to community development, court work, individual and group counseling, corporate negotiations, reports prepping and presenting, staff and community training, and other caps she wears. As per her job description, some of the roles she's playing today weren't forming part of it initially, and but through her passion and determination made them be. Today she's a sought after all-rounder asset in the social space and a key growth-based factor for the firm.
Apart from her work routine, on Sundays she gets busy with ECD classes dubbed Tendalees Forum (TF), replaced Sunday school. Tendalees Forum is an initiative by her formed foundation that she named after her father called the Jix Nugalis Foundation (JNF). Cordelia adores her father to the extent that no man can have her unless surpass the level of her father, she benchmarks through him. What she does via Tendalees Forum is engage in variety of topics per age groupings about family and societal ills that are normalised and after do physical activities. It started small and gradually grew as others saw the good it did for their children. Funds started pouring in, helping hands sought and soon it outgrown its geography.
She built responsible future leaders. The tendalees gained massive exposure to many skills in a way unimaginable to a lot. The program was run on radio, social media, print media, arts, sports and recreation, and just hit televised medium. In its third year, Tendalees Forum produced its first two rising stars in the form of a model and a talk show host. The new shining stars walked their path with their enabling families playing a role in their prepping phases. At eighteen, sadly, the forum has to release its built future leader were handled over into the capable hands of GC for further growth and development. This system grew GC exponentially in a direction never planned for before given its publicity. It made directors look at Cordelia with the eye of love than favour, and they made her partner, a new found status that never went to her head, she was more levelled than that.

This system grew GC exponentially in a direction never planned for before given its publicity. It made directors look at Cordelia with the eye of love than favour, and they made her partner, a new found status that never went to her head, she was more levelled than that.
Then one day, Cordelia got invited to give a lecture and was given a designated attendant to be with her from welcoming to departing of hers. Cordelia was an active representative of a tripartite movement encompassing GC, TF and JNF. After her lecture, which was well attended, Cordelia had a meal with her attendant, Ricardo Manella. Ricardo liked her and the conversation they had left him oozing for the rest of the day. The following day he was having talks with a colleague about joining TF. By day end he logged in online and joined. Cordelia remembered him for the insights they shared and responded quickly to welcome him.
On the verge of the very day's closing, GC formally adopted TF and had it rebranded as a social unit of its operations. Cordelia had a follow up invite from the college not far from the university she just had a lecture given at. It was an extended pilot program they wanted to test waters on and she happened to be the first for a call up. On this one, she had her two rising stars accompany her for motivation. The day was turned upside down, the students went mad at the sight of the two together. The classes were suspended for the day and all went into the hall to be with their stars. Cordelia started off first by apologizing for the disruption which wasn't anticipated. The apology was out of the way quicker than she thought and got into the business of the day she labelled 'tritivity moments'.
She gave a lecture on self-availing for an opportunity given. She pointed at self for her coming to their college as it was an opportunity she just couldn't let pass by and so was similarly with the young stars they celebrated today. They're there because they availed themselves, and so should they for their various callings. She was short in say but long to the thought. It was a moment of test to the stars as well in that it was for their first ever given platform to motivate their peers. In lead was Fellina the Miss Teen of Mexico and after Danilo of 'Small talk with D'. After their addresses the hall was in hugs and cheers to the three as Cordelia signed off with a message of "hug your fellow peer and affirm your availability for your next opportunity." The college was left with a headache as the height of the first success never to be matched.
An asset she is to GC, she did that by purpose. She knew that with such a start there won't be any following invite to can untie the knot, and the predicament would force the college to either scrap the program and declare them officially as part of history in milestones the college reached or to continue with the program prompts them to have GC source them on the college's behalf. She does play like that at times, the influence she tapped from the firm's director of constitutional development and political affairs, Mrs Stefina Kaka. The angle the firm spotted straight up and commend her upon. The college was faced with a demon afterwards as the well went dry after what seemed to be more like a once-off occurrence that some educators hinted as was the beginning of more to come on monthly basis.
With pressure and a week out of promise failure to deliver, the college threw their hopes on GC for help and enlisted them as their calendar runner. In a day a big name was secured for the upcoming Friday for another lecture. The guest was a pilot who was born and raised in their locality, Roberto Guz. He came with one cabin crew trainee and an aeroplane mechanic to cement the tritivity coinage. They came in by a 7 seater helicopter and had all students given an experience of flying through four minute fly over Tijuana. It was an exhilarating experience that they never woke up from. GC saved the college and the dependence on their fixers was no longer questionable. In the following year the roll of the college was tripled and by then the program was cut as it ran coffers dry. Upon hearing about that, government and corporate sector chipped in and the program was revived to much fanfare. The only downside was the non-availability of the usual calendar runner, GC. The college due to sponsor pressures had to put the contract on bid and GC withdrew without even an attempt to bid. They indeed became part of the college's milestones history and closed the curtain on the chapter, but tritivity was no longer the vibe it used to be.

Ricardo was in the meantime busy with plying his off-time trade at TF and growing in it. He with time became close to Cordelia and ultimately captured her heart. The telenovela style romance they had gave Cordelia no growth other than being a destructive human affair. Jix took his time assessing Ricardo and liked him for his baby girl. One time while alone he had a man to man talk with him about his intentions for his daughter, and Ricardo said he wish to marry her and live to make her happy and feeling loved. Jix wasn't sure about that and advised him to take it slow so he can get enough time to learn her. The other thing was that he told him to never hurt her as he will be the one who'll avenge for her as his daughter doesn't know how to fight because she was never taught to. Ricardo sworn to Jix never to hurt his daughter and shook on it before giving him a hug.
TF was growing and the footprint of GC in the same length doing its marathon on a flat surface and enjoying its growth pace. The contracts they were amassing through the TF card was phenomenal. It took two years and four months within of engagement for things to get messy and out of hand. Ricardo was no longer doing time at the university and now full time at TF. By being there full time had its own set of unique challenges for a man, some tendalees would fight for his attention and use tricks to attract him. He saw that earlier and asked to be removed from the position of dealing with them directly and was elevated to the position of being the director in JNF.
Then one Sunday a parent of one of the tendalees found Cordelia and two of her female TF colleagues discussing the danger of exposing children to higher class of cartoon networks on TV before their time, and the lady asked if she can see Ricardo, but was told he's not around. Before she could leave one colleague by the name of Esther asked whether she'd be willing to leave a message for him and the lady said no, reason being that she doesn't leave messages when engaging with rapists. That alone changed the landscape altogether. Cordelia asked for her to sit down and explain everything to her and she said it happened during the week, and her fifteen year old daughter is traumatized as they speak. With tears in her eyes and anger filling the mental space, Cordelia asked her colleagues what they suspect in Ricardo and they talked beautifully about him. Esther asked her not to judge as she's already talking of "suspicion" not what they know of him in line to his being.
Then she went out to the parking lot to her car to go out to confront Ricardo and she bumped into a male colleague who said nothing much except for the fact that he has changed his womanizing these days. That was enough, to Cordelia it meant he's now on a different mode and is into sleeping with children. She was already regretting her move to let him too close too soon to trust him and vowing to stop him and ensure he never gets away with it. She instead went to her father to cry in his arms and that drove him up the top of the tree. Once Cordelia calmed down after her mother showed them otherwise, she saw reason that it might be a set up, or an enemy wanting to split them, or maybe even a mistaken identity. But then, by that time Jix wouldn't take none of that. They called a police friend and had her tasked with fact checking that, and she did so. She went back to the centre to get the trace of the complaint to find her address so she can visit them and find out more, especially the reason why they chose not to go to the station to report the matter.
She interviewed four tendalees individually and drew nil out of them. She called Cordelia about her findings and her suspicion of foul play with the whole saga. Cordelia's was relieved as she was fond of Ricardo. Cordelia went home and but the conversation with Ricardo wasn't that bathed. First check was her not calling him papi on that day and he knew something was up but not sure what it was as Cordelia wasn't being open about it. Still trying to figure that out, Cordelia received another call from the police friend who told her even two ex varsity colleagues to him spoke highly of him as a dedicated team player and had no taint of such nature, unless if he was good at hiding it but highly impossible to, at that level. After the call she felt like her friend was protecting him in some way.
Cordelia was cold towards Ricardo for days until he caught a shallow hazard pass of toxic intelligence that stuck with his fiancee's listening hub. But then the name of the woman was never given. To make matters worse, his future father-in-law and some of the future in-laws were acting strange to him. Cordelia was now starting to perform badly at work and all the time thinking about the possibility of her fiance being a rapist, what it meant to her career and her privately, she wasn't all together anymore. By then her profile was up there.
Then by chance Jix thought of meeting with Ricardo at JNF offices to get his side of the story, but stepping in he witnessed a situation that was awkward enough to make any parent's blood pressure to rise if hot blooded by nature, and that's exactly what happened there. Ricardo as usual to his colleagues, likes to sensually tease them and on that unfortunate day was in the presence of his future father-in-law. It wasn't a serious thing but with Jix a story of affirmation. He turned back and went to his car and grabbed his gun pouch and walked back in already pulling it out of the pouch and aiming at him saying: "I've been fooled by your good charms but now is the end of it all today, you child rapist!!!" and shot him twice in point blank on the heart and forehead. He was furious. The office bearers took cover with screams and some ran out. Ricardo was shot dead.
The police were called to the scene and arrived shortly. Jix's revolver was taken and him questioned before taking him in. Just after the arresting officers left, his daughter arrived to find the lifeless body of her fiance. When told what transpired she hopped into her car and followed them to the cop shop with the lawyer on the way too. Getting there the lawyer was bombazzled by Jix saying he's about to make his statement and that he didn't want any legal assistance as he did it and had no regrets. The lawyer avoided any discord with the old man and left. When it was time for court, on his bail hearing Jix pleaded guilty and wanted no bail, with no remorse in his tone and behaviour. The magistrate said to him that: "your moth sized anger won't help your situation at all. But glad that it makes my job easier.
With the news making rounds about what happened, the woman resurfaced at the TF centre with tears that could fill cups, wanting to apologize for the mess that she'd caused. She didn't find Cordelia as it was midweek, but conveyed her message to her colleagues. Esther instantly called her to inform her about what they just heard. She reminded Cordelia that she shouldn't have been harsh and quick to judge without first getting to the bottom of the claims. The woman was put on speaker for them to iron out the allegations.
The woman told her that she was sorry to what had broken lives and families torn because of it. She said: "sorry for causing the mess that today made headlines. My daughter is pregnant and when she and her father confronted her with who had done that and said it's Ricardo. And now we found out the truth and unfortunately it wasn't him but a vandal called Leonardo. I'm so sorry, if there's anything else I can assist with to solve this I'll be glad to and free to. I'm so very sorry, from the bottom of my heart. If only had I known I would never have done what I did" and Cordelia dropped her and screamed out to release her anger and regret. She went after to the cop shop but helped nothing as she never went to kill anyone or instruct none to kill. She was finished.

The story of the girl who lied about her pregnancy and got the wrong person killed for her lies gathered steam, and GC partners ended up getting hold of it and as a reputable social science practitioner Cordelia was supposed to have handled it better. As a result they called her in and relayed to her their disappointment in her failure to live up to her knowledge they trusted her in. She solved far worse cases but the one simple one to crack even after she got council from a junior colleague didn't work because she looked down on her. There was a lot that went against her currents. And, as such she was given some time off to deal with her personal stuff and in the meantime GC will be deciding on her fate.
On the other hand Ricardo's family was so furious and barred her and her relatives from coming to the funeral. Her world came crushing quickly. After the funeral she couldn't do anything, she was used to being active and everything that made her active were tied to her work. At JNF wasn't a space she could be as it was a constant reminder of her failure to her fiance.
A week later she was asked to come in at work to meet with the management in the afternoon of the following day. She went there and was informed of the decision to set her free and have her do her own things with her life. The other thing was to inform her also of the disbanding of TF from GC and to be handed over back to her. She had it back but then she had to start afresh. Her one mistake had cost her dearly, and had she only listened to her mother and Esther and her police friend, things couldn't have turned out that way. She lacked the drive to start afresh and her sense of purpose vanished, she was in a state of idle.
Her situation got worse by the day and one day a friend of the late Ricardo saw her in the street on a late afternoon stroll and talked to her about new beginnings. She was given a job as a receptionist at a glassware factory and slowly her spark was waking up to the challenge but was never the same. The TF centre was a shadow of former self and no longer busy so had to close it and sold the premises. It was snatched privately and she resigned to go into running Jix Nugalis Logistics with her family. Business there was a daily plead to clients and prospects, everything was not as was before because a lot shunned them. JNF wasn't effective any longer and had to be closed as well. The money she invested into the family business was losing value.
She met up with a former partner at GC to help her revive the family business but got advised to sell a chunk stake of the business to save it. Her former partner went to even the length of organising a group that can buy it with a condition that she gets 2.5% in the business, and was a deal. The business was rescued and due to the family's lack of business experience the new partners took over and it was quickly returned to former glory with but a lot sacrificed via huge come back discounts. That worked and it was over for her as an active employee in the business. She later joined a group of small scale farmers to keep busy. Life for her was mediocre and with her feeling underutilized she left Tijuana for a job in Mexico City but she was unlucky. She tried her hand into private practice but it wasn't her forte, so she after a year went back home to settle and have her wait for payment from the business.
With two months back at home her mother passed away. She was lost and lonely afterwards and kept reminiscing of those moments gone by, how it could've been hadn't it been how it all panned out. She was left to live in her head more than she did outside of it and she spent the rest of her days like that, with memories on repeat mode to escape the harsh realities of the current moments she was in.
Q_what have you availed yourself for? Was Cordelia cocky or emotional when she rejected advice from others? Why did GC decided to cut TF back to Cordelia? Is it a normal thing for a person to live in their heads for the sake of holding on to passed glories?

Scenario 152
Sync 1
He was used to a lap of viced luxury that lined him to premiere attendances and premium lifestyle activities. His lifetime business crush got him the life he led and also got him to where he's at today, penniless with an endless list of primed cravings syndrome. Now living alone, half his time on the streets and at times with his first born child at his seaboard home. He really had it all but time and life took him to the top spot and, ungratefulness coupled with mockings to nature, left him exactly where his type should be; right at the bottom with not even a plastic token to afford his scratch on the back.
Liff di Preft is known for his stint in civil construction world through his company preft CivCon, which he inherited from his late brother and failed to grow as per his promise to the family. pCC, as popularly known in biz circles, was one of the construction industry's most promising companies. It in total prior to Liff's takeover, had 168 permanent employees and it's turnover at 393m Lira per annum with a cash pile of 547m Lira and 60m Lira parked in a non-compound interest bearing locked offshore account, in Mauritius. Liff was living lavi da loca and under the shadow of his brother, Basil. Basil died aged 51 to leukaemia, with no wife and a deceased girl child.
Shortly before his death, Basil was at a Catch-Them-Young conference as an attendant to pick bright two minds for his entity as interns. Seeing him in the crowd, one of the speakers called him on stage to give a word of his wisdom to the young ones. He cut thick into it as if it was planned and said: "In business we're all stars, we have fades to dusks, and if you're in and haven't had your dusk and to shine in your next day then you're not part of this. The beauty about the times of our dusks is it gives us days in our careers. What day are you in in your career? What time are you also in? Given your post pubescence, you're pretty much in your early morning of your careers. What you need to walk away with is the hint that it matters for investors and partners, we partner with ones same as us, with dusks in their time in. To you young ones, take your time and give your career its stripes. One dusk might be a 3 year stint in that loss of a startup and the next be more or less, but what matters is your wounds. Go out there for your wounds and be back to show them to us with the result of lessons learnt from each wound. Come back with your dusk and we'll be ready for more with our risks. Be open to the organic magic the world of biznes is." He saw the audience didn't get him, and turned to the organizers and speakers to thank them and stepped down.
Once down and back into the crowd, one bright mind drew its face into his when it pat his back for attention. The lad with an apologetic tone introduced himself to him and praised his pitch. With interest he asked him why he said it was a pitch instead of a speech, and he said it's been that to him as it just sounded as such. He said: "You were appealing for those ready to be stars to come and join you, but not in a usual form. I figured that out the time you mentioned that you partner with those who're same as you. Your closing also reiterated that message. Be open to the magic the world of biznes is" and he gazed at him. Not to be flattened with the youngling's obvious flattery, said to him that: "you aren't attentive as I thought you would be. I said organic magic, not just magic" to which the lad showed a slight wink of disappointment. He returned his pat to him and said he come to see him whenever he's free, and handed him his business card.
To his dismay, the answer from him was: "tell it now, I'm free" with a shrewd tone that lost its apologetic interlude it serenaded him in introduction and highlighted that to him. "You came across as apologetic but now progressed to less sensed aggression,,,why?" He asked: "why not call me by name? Am I that forgettable? That's why I'm doing that, so you spring to my board." Basil asked him: "who's the opportunity seeker here? Or should I rather say the opportunity bringer? Let's start from there." The young one asked they go out or move to where they can talk freely. He obliged though wrestling with thoughts on how this boy is taking control but was liking him already. When outside, Basil pointed to the parking and the lad asked which car, and Basil said I meant the tree shade to walk to and talk under. He with no second to spare, read the throw out it had on him it was hard to hide, and he was chuffed. He got him, he was thrown out of balance by then.
Basil flipped from that moment and back to the question posed afore. The young one said: "let me start by introducing myself again, my name is Emin Aydin. I am having a big interest in your company even though I didn't get the chance to research about it beforehand. I did my time at Istanbul International School, but had no money to go to tertiary with. You having given us your open chance at working with you gave me hope at building something out of myself to be honest, and am now asking for that chance in your company Sir" and suddenly his face was expressing a new side to him. Basil said: "but you haven't answered my question Emin" and chip his chin, showing he was running in the high speed lane in his thoughts.
"Oh yaah, about that,,I'd like to call myself an opportunity bringer because I am now answering your call for stars to join you. I am giving you me." With a big smile, Basil said: "yaah, tables do turn" and Emin sighed. "You fancy me as an opportunity seeker,,eh,,mister opportunity bringer wants to work with me, not work for me" and quickly Emin dived in to interject in say: "maybe I got it wrong Sir!!!" and Basil shook his head and said: "you may be right out of turn but wrong out of term, yet the timing will spell it out". Emin with a begging tone asked when can he come and start. He told him when he's done sobbing can announce it to him when he can be ready. Emin said: "today I can make a pass to see where it is, so come tomorrow I know where I'm going" with a very confident tone. Basil loved him and nodded his head. "Why not search it in your mobile?" and with a sadly expressed tone told him he never owned one in his life. "How old are you? And don't tell me I missed that!!!" Emin said he's turning 20 in a few weeks time because after high school he had gap years, of which the current one was his third. Jokingly said: "I'm in my degree year and next year's my honours*" rolling his eyes to Basil's giggle.
"Let's go! Got a driving licence? What the hell, with no mobile there's no way you can afford that. Come on lemme drive you." Emin reacted to the car like a toddler to cartoons. He thought the car belonged to one of the guest speakers in there as Basil was to him too simple and easy to approach for such a car. Inside is where he couldn't hold his joy as the hide quality cocooned in of top class, poised ride and music from the surround system out to bless his dream wet. He forgot about all his struggles and moved with the splendor carrying him. En route, a new ddwebbfone shape3 was ordered with no knowledge of Emin. Basil was using the flagship shape5. Once at pCC, he gave him his company PA (CPA) to show him around. In just 17 minutes his intern contract was ready and surprisingly with a provision that he'll start exactly the same day he turns 20, no specific date.
He was presented with the contract and a fone. After reading the contract he wanted to let him know his date of birth but Basil said he'll know the day he comes to work. He was ecstatic to know his degree is done and no need for honours. He came to work on the 5th week, and his first day was so hectic he never even got the chance to thank Basil for the break he gave him. And it was on the 3rd day that he met him and thanked him, and was corrected that he has given him an opportunity not a chance, and for him to stay in it shouldn't be himself too much.
On his 4th week in, Emin's mother called in through a neighbour's fone that his father has collapsed. Without thinking straight, he went to Basil's office to ask for help. Basil summoned the in-house doctor and when calling to ask about his condition got a shake of reality to hear that the neighbour was already out as she was helping with the call as the only person with a fone in her neighbours' home was Emin. He shed a tear and same time got out leading them to his car. They hopped in and headed there skipping some of the traffic lights.
Once there, he couldn't believe what he was beset with. Emin's family situation's nothing to smile in say about. The doctor, Dr Zeki Polat attended to him and had resuscitated him with a recommendation that they take him in for close observation. Basil and Dr Polat together carried Emin's father into his car and had his mother jump in to the pCC recuperation centre, leaving behind Basil and Emin's older sister, Ece, as he awaits a cab back to office. He responded well to the treatment and was later good to go home. He found that it's stress more than dotage troubling him. By dinner time he was discharged and got treated to a king's meal before heading back home.
The trip back home was by doc's car which was out of pasture pegged against the boss's car, it's poised ride not as George-up-the-hill as Basil's and same was true case with its sedanier feel to the saloonier mobility transporter Basil's felt. Emin's parents couldn't believe what they were experiencing, being treated as if they were special, a feeling they'll cherish forever. Just before getting home, Emin received a call from Basil asking how his father was doing and if he could talk to him. He couldn't believe it, same was his father during call and after. The amount of humility the multi-millionaire showed to them was strikingly unbelievable. Emin was by then vindicated as he kept praising him. The whole night his mother ceased never blabbing about Basil especially after hearing he's not married.
On his pay day Emin was surprised to see his pay getting in halved. On his way to the HR department, got a call from the CPA explaining to him that he got a cut to his stipend because of his arrangement with Basil. Immediately after dropping he called Basil to understand about the said agreement. Basil said to him to wait until knock off to know what arrangement they had.
By knock off Basil was still on a VoIP call and had to wait. A dead break 47 minutes later he emerged with a smile and said to him: "Congratulations on achieving that". He gave him his bag and they downed to the parking bay underground. On the way he asked whether he forgot about him as he drove to the wrong direction. Basil said that he no longer stay at Gazi Mahallesi and is now going to his new home in Sariyer. With excitement and amazement asked how as that area is for the affluent, not for him and his family, and Basil said: "who said so? You've got me." They went first at Besiktas where he resides, and met a chubby fellow who looked moneyed and proceeded to his pied-a-terre in the Eastern side of Sariyer. Getting there, Emin was all tears after a big hug of welcome by his mother. Still caught in their moment, Basil said his byes and left sans any word except teary eyes of jubilation and pride.
He soon received a call to ask who's apartment it was and he said it's your new home. Emin thanked him. The following morning Emin was the first to arrive at work after Basil and together had a quality moment to themselves. He asked why him and how long do they have to stay, and how long will it take to pay it back? Basil said: "I'm so disappointed, my chips of pride in you have fallen off. I thought you're in early because of motivation but no, you came to interrogate me. That place is your new address for you and your family because there your parents will have a better life. I didn't like the situation I witnessed on the day I went there at your previous home. I have to make you happy as your employer and that's my humble contribution, hope it works for you. It may be a bit undersized but a decent size. I just hope they like it. It used to be one of my special retreat pied-a-terres until you took over yesterday. We'll transfer ownership the day you end your internship and choose to sign with poor us permanently, but that's not to force you to stay. What I'm certain of is that you'll be the owner on the last day of the intern contract."
"Is that all. No strings attached no nothing to it?" and Basil said nothing but just nodded his head. Emin asked again why him, and Basil said that he meant a lot to his family than meets the eye, and as such will advance him. Emin literally cried. Before he could pat him, the CPA knocked. During his lunch Emin called his father to check on him only to be told he was better after a doctor's house call. He didn't know what to say especially after his father thanked him for his care. He told him to thank Basil instead.
As promised, his 6 months came to pass and Basil signed over ownership to him. On seeing the value of the property, Emin almost fainted, thinking who the hell is this man and if it's really happening to him and his family. The property was rated 5star green as it had its own energy grid, water harvesting and purification system, painted with organic water based acrylic, natural air conditioning through open plan living, and lastly a rooftop garden and sun bathing cubicle to seal the status. The Aydins were living the life. After the transfer he started distancing himself off from Emin. He then later learnt that Basil was busy with some homeless boy who frequented the nearby filling station.
It didn't take long and Basil succumbed to leukaemia. That day was like no other to everyone at pCC, the news shattered all except his brother who from day one rolled in informing them that they'll be reporting to him henceforth. On the burial day, Emin wished to say a few words but couldn't as he wasn't afforded the chance to. He was fragile and more emotionally damaged by that. He later wrote a moving tribute on the company blog and it read in part; "Exactly a year ago, I was discovered by this very gentle giant who listened to me in a positive way others chose to do negatively. I am deeply saddened for I'm lost without him in the cave he created for people like me to breathe and create from. My dignity knew no anchor good enough for it then came you and took over, you the soul that swept my doubts of seeing best in others with the experience you gave of you. I'm grateful for my chance I took on you on that special day that created organic magic you insisted on. I love you Mr B. May your great soul rest in eternal peace. I'll never forget you." It left many in tears for it touched the corners of their souls in many different ways.
Sync 2
The next day the staff got readied for the welcoming of the new commander in bullying, but was a no show. On the following day he showed up with an entourage. He came in with a list of changes that everyone did feel. Liff was a total opposite of what Basil was. Liff did make every staffer feel the new chapter isn't in the coming era but imminent and should all be onboard his program. The world of construction was his love and his brother went into it because of him. He was left behind in the beginning of the business as he believed in small starts whilst him in big starts.
pCC was doing big projects around the country and in mega projects playing part as sub-contractors. The Turkish government does set up construction industry with mega projects and pCC was a small beneficiary thereof. To gain good favour, Liff introduced female managers to counter the Bureau of Labor Statistics of 9% of female contractors in the industry in the 5.4% annual GDP contributed by the construction industry. He established a women team for some projects and men for others, which created an unnecessary competition within instead of collaboration. The strategy had cracks showing from the onset but he chose to ignore the warning signs.
In the meantime, the rise of Liff's day at night running fame was morphing up. He was the main menu on the course of many a new occassioneer in scene. Liff's name was a temporary fixture tinting the who's who mixture that's to him thought to be a permanent fixture, but was just a grinning guise. He was fixated on wrong priorities and gradually his inherited staff grew impatient of his ways and started doing as they please. The monitoring that they were used to was no longer done and made it useless to be frugal. Liff came in and destroyed the culture. Staff morale was at its lowest.
The discrepant new order went on and borne the spirit of mediocrity that saw instilment of poor quality acceptance and delivery. Over time concerned long time clients tried securing consultry meetings with them but Liff wasn't easy to tie down for such appointments. If you don't talk new job then there's no way to sitting him down. As a result, they opted to surrender their relationship with them.
With low revenue coming in, Liff started being stressed because of that posing a threat to his newly acquired lifestyle. His wife was different to him and ended up getting involved. She brought in some stability and the company coffers regained position and aborted its run into the red. Liff had never operated a business in his life, only ideas he had. His wife championed the stability maintenance and renewed customer care desk. An Occupational Health and Safety practitioner by qualification, she but never got round to using her diploma at all. She worked for her brother at a cargo storage facility that she hated, that's where she learnt to treat customers as he was customer centric.
Liff's wife tried all that she could do but growing the business just didn't happen, and gave her severe pressure that ended up causing her Cervical dystonia, a condition that caused her to look aside because of spasms. She chose to rest and Liff wasn't helping the situation as he got the chance to gallivant with milfs. His wife ended packing her bags and going back home. Liff cared less about her and his family, he was swimming in cash. The business dwindled again and he worried less that it at the finishing point closed down. He switched to cash piles and by then had developed a knack for gambling at premium hotels and attending shows only you and I could only dream of. He was living the dream life.
Time went by and an offer to acquire pCC came and he threw that out of the yard by calling it a clocked mile mess he wanted nothing to hear about. He but nevertheless rejected the offer as just a joke's worth attempt he laughed about. Once out of his unpleasant space, one of the potential buyers suggested they went straight to the di Preft family and they did instantly. Their knock felt warmth and their offer been a token recipient of note. They were listened to and were awarded handsomely for their proposition. The 4 were initially eyeing the whole stock takeover but one of them pressed them for 90% with 10% left in respect of the founder, Basil di Preft. They shook on it and after a month announced. By that time Liff was already seeing dust in that he was cut off from the family as he was declared a delinquent director. With no cent to his name and an addiction to feed by the hour, he resorted to selling his house but due to refusal by his wife to consent, saw him sell the furniture and making an exit.
On day 3 of pCC's return to activity, the new management abolished the use of bleanbin banners in favour of eyedropper banners for their awareness campaigns because of its energy efficiency. Sadly the draped family dream was out of their hands and into new guardians. Since the relaunch had to be done low key to save on costs, the management reappointed a fraction of the gone staff. It was good to see yet sad thinking how it used to be with Basil. To Liff's surprise upon hearing about the pCC relaunch was the names behind it, all being former staff of pCC. It was Pedro, the CFO, Allegra, snr Structural Engineer, Joao, a Project Manager, and Emin. The mystery financier, Randall Valenti, the Chairman of OutBetta Hardware, who's Liff's archnemesis. He held a super cool 49% of pCC's stock.
Randall came to the table as a piece of the puzzle via invite from Emin. Emin knew he won't turn the opportunity down as he had a truckload of respect for Basil and disliked where Liff wasn't heading with pCC. Liff ran it down and made large sum withdrawals from the offshore account amounting to a whopping shame figure of 32 mln Lira to date. Good thing was his unknowing fact that his brother had pied-a-terres to which one got given to Emin's family. Liff, via his son's fone, called Emin to discuss a settlement to him being bought out. Emin put him in the know that he's worth nothing and even the call tariff for the call they're on is more than his value, and Liff dropped.
Liff was now living a double strobe life, spotting the streets and his son's home. His granddaughter adores him so much that she demands him when away. On a good Thursday mid-morning, after having decided to walk to work, Joao bumped into Liff and avoided him. During lunch he told Pedro who then passed the news to Emin. Upon knocking off, Emin offered Joao a lift home so he could show him the spot he saw Liff at. The next morning he went there to witness that for himself but didn't find him. He spoke to 5 street kids he found at the spot and discovered he switched places with them, and they directed him to the place he was. He chose to park there and paid the street kids a daybreak fee with the promise for more when he's back to finding it safely intact.
He walked down 6 streets and he found him. Liff was gobsmacked and asked: "Why you this side of town? People like yourself don't waltz these alleys" and he responded by saying:"I'm human after all and readying myself for darker days not a crime. Don't you think I too deserve the very right you have to be here?" of which he nodded. "But why are you here?" Liff asked harshly. With a soft tone said to him: "I'm here to see for myself and to help you out as well. But I don't get it to be honest. Why out here?" and Liff said to him: "it's safer than in your world. Those who're chasing a catch of my soul can't snatch me. The streets offer more protection for free" but judging by his Adams' apple, he wasn't comfortable at all. "How do you survive?" and he choked, "can we go now to your better safety?" he probed Liff further.
"What if I don't intend getting back to your life because I'm a mess as its result!" both looked at each other and after a brief pause Liff continued: "why want to protect me of all people? Aren't you enough with your middle finger my way with your friend Valenti? Why hate me so much for such piles of hatreds? Why me tell me? Why don't you..." and Emin interjected by saying: "if you think you'd be sorted on your own be my guest. I'll leave you in peace." Before he turned Liff said it's fine. "Don't tell me you don't know the timing of God. Your created luck gave you a chance you took with me, and I in turn taking my chance with an opportunity on you, and I won't give you up until God's grace let me finish with its plan of you. You know your purpose and I see it shine in your thoughts through our interactions, I believe you believe in your belief of us, so, let's do this" ending with a deep catch of breath and a sigh. "These were the words I once received from your brother, which I now pass to you." Liff with an assuring smile said: "what're you actually proposing?" and Emin grinned and said: "I'm promising to you my pledge to protect you. But,,,and that's a capital but,,if you stay where I can be sure you're safe." Liff had no problem as he was desperate for help.
"Can I make a quick call for a pass stop somewhere first?" and Emin nodded. They passed by his son's house and let him know he's now with Emin and he'll be fine. Liff's son showed relief and thanked him unashamedly. Emin took him to their old house and he wasn't to stay alone, he was with a distant relative who was a recovered drug addict. The house had a bit of makeover and more habitable than during their time at it. Liff settled well and quickly as they were together and none seeing the other in a different light. He had fun and soon was showing signs of being relaxed, and Emin told him to come to work at pCC in a few days' time. He was excited and got some time to reflect and prepared for his return.
On the first day at work he was run down by disappointment that he would be a foreman. His mind was on C-suit level and already having had called his son to brag about his reclaim of glory. He went there for 2 days and disappeared sans a trace. He felt humiliated by the position he was given. The other surprise Emin got to learn about Liff's disappearance was that he was given in expectation a manual truck to work with, but he didn't know how to drive one as he drove only autos in his life. His fone was off and his son was disappointed as well.
Days turned to weeks and to months, and Liff was never seen again. The progress at pCC was phenomenal that in a year's time there been jobs completed in record time and having added 4 more jobs to the 35 they initially started out with. The di Preft family was proud again and very grateful for the honour of being part of that magic once more. Randall Valenti's risk was paying off obviously though he knew that from the onset.
One day Emin got a call from him inviting him to come to the historical moment of his life in biz. He was finalizing the look of his new cement's packaging and wanted his input. He was there for about 3 hours but worth it as he learnt a lot. In 2 more weeks it was out into the market. The projects they undertook were now using RV Cement in their ready mix. OutBetta Hardware were the biggest stockists of the cement. Emin realized the opportunity Randall saw and was starting to see why he said to him that pCC was integral to his growth. His group's portfolio was relying on every company to play to the strategy mix.
Time went by and a day came when Emin was surprised by a visit from Liff's son. He was there to personally inform him of Liff's death and funeral conditions. His family didn't know and weren't welcome as they cut him off. Emin was invited as he cared about him. Emin went there and paid his last respects, and to his dismay, got the chance to say something though not ready for it. Only 16 people were there, with also his estranged wife not part of the exclusive underworld affair. On that day he never went to work as it took him back to the day Basil was buried and was denied the platform by the very man who wished he say a piece at his funeral. Emin was reserved as the best to make use of last, something they were told Liff uttered of him with a casual tone he's known for. Emin grieved silently and was somewhat feeling like a betrayer to what Basil stood for and taught him.
The next day he informed everyone about the passing and passed burial of their dearly lost one. To his surprise, they respected him and applauded his courage. Emin was there for life and his growth went beyond his imagination as Randall gave him a free transferred 3.5% in his group for his loyalty and pure work ethic. In 11 years he was a Group CIO, driving the group's innovation hub to new heights every year. The di Preft family felt in him the spirit of Basil was restored...dp
Q_do you think Basil was replacing his daughter with Emin? Was that the same reason he has his family a house? Did Liff adored or despised Emin because of his brother's liking of him? Why was Liff buried the underworld style? What does Randall actually want with Emin? How can Turkey improve its construction industry to empower women contractors in it?

Scenario 151
Sync 1
The world of bedding woke up to a new way of being experienced in sleep. Beds were made different. Into the market came in conditioned beds. These beds were made with weather-conditioning system pre-installed in them. When too hot, the bed can be set to cool and vice versa with cold weather, via a small remote. The conditioned bed wasn't well received due to marketing challenges.
With piling pressure and noise frustrating the two co-owners, one decided to sell his stake and the remaining partner went into retirement and leaving her son in the hot seat. The son, Hiln Yote, the son of a famous engineer, Rosslyn Yote. Hiln is the only child to Rosslyn. The company was founded as Rossric Beds in 1991 by Rosslyn Yote and Eric Saunders in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2012 it launched a conditioned bed and but didn't get much anticipated fanfare after having put in their all into R&D for it. Upon taking over in early 2018, Hiln did away with a cord that was used to operate the beds. He came up with a remote instead and in late 2019 relaunched the conditioned bed with a new trendy tagline, 'Best evered sleep' and it caught on.
To drive Investment into the company, he leased a new fleet of delivery vehicles to draw attention, repainted the warehouses and extended the workshop. It made for a good curiosity build up, and in deed the calls started coming in about the brand and its management's availability for offer negotiations. Hiln, known from school as H, he overnight became a hot property to have in your circle. Rossric Beds was growing and he was rapidly expanding. Then one evening he found his mother with a young man at home upon his arrival. He was introduced to the man, younger to him, called Gabriel. His surname was Saunders. He quickly went to his room after seeing how Gabriel was staring at him. To him, Gabriel was seeing his brother's resemblance in Hiln.
Coming back, H didn't find him. 4 days later, Gabriel came with some guy who to him was a striking photocopy of him, and everyone in the workshop looked at them with amazing interest. The 2 asked to see him in camera, and he went with them into his office. Gabriel told him they are the Saunders, Eric's sons, and him brother is Nelson. Asking why they were there, they said to him that they came to formally introduce themselves to him as their half-brothers. H was bored yet gave them a big smile. He was questioning why now of all times? He was making a name for himself and his family, then all of a sudden came them with sob reunion drama. Gabriel asked him how he felt about the whole situation, and H braved himself and said it straight to them, "I see a faulty pattern that's about to establish itself and I can't allow its crack to affect my seemed line" and they thanked him for his honesty. They told him that Eric is their father, and he's his second born just by a few weeks apart from their eldest in the family, being their sister, Rachel.
H wasn't pleased at all and asked: "are you insinuating that my mother was a side dish to your father? And that you're here to declare that to me I'm your illegitimate brother?" with a frisky tone, and they contradicted each other with a yes against a no. Gabriel apologized and they said goodbye. Just before they stepped out H further asked: "why are you actually here?" and Nelson said: "to know and touch base with one of our own we recently discovered of." H then said: "let's talk."
Nelson: "we're sorry to drop in like that."
H: "it's not a problem now that I know."
Nelson: "it's not that we're after anything from you, but just contact with you and to inform you that he's divorcing with our mother over the secret of you."
Gabriel: "but we aren't blaming you in any way or your mother."
Nelson: "they were school mates and long term business partners."
H: "what's your next step now that I'm in the know? And, why were you at my house the other night?"
Gabriel: "I was asking about you. I wanted to see you, and it was obvious you are him."

Gabriel: "I was asking about you. I wanted to see you, and it was obvious you are him."
H: "how many are you?"
Nelson: "4. Making it 6 with you and 1 other you have to know as well."
H: "I'm actually not that interested. He or she?"
Gabriel: "his name is Ceaser."
H: "okay, cool. Why want to know us if your mom is mad over your dad about us?"
Nelson: "we aren't caught up in their drama but interested in knowing you and him. It's exciting to say the least for me and Gab. Thought you'd be too!"
H: "I'm not. Let me check with my mother first and I'll be in touch. Your digits?" (And they exchanged contacts)
Nelson: "thanks brother, we'll talk soon."
H: "okay, bye." He followed them out and into his car he drove home to talk to his mother about the whole situation.
His mother told him she thought he was off from his relationship with his then girlfriend, Alice, only to discover they weren't after she fell pregnant. Asked about Ceaser, she didn't know anyone by that name of H's age, until later after the conversation when alone and called him back to the living room. She told him that she remembered of a certain Ceaser born a few months after H was born, his mother was Rebecca, and was the PA to Eric. It's been years since she's seen her. She disappeared after giving birth to her son, Ceaser. H thanked his mother and went to his room to think about everything before he slept. The following day he put up the business up for the highest bid and by day end had a new owner without his mother's input or consent. He took half of the proceeds and gave them to her and half for his new venture. For 7 years he went off spotlight and at the end of the 7th year reemerged.

The front door bell rang and Esther was told to go answer it. Due to Covid-19 regulations, he was wearing a mask and the face wasn't recognizable. He asked whom she was and she told him she's Esther, the personal carer for his mother. He took of his mask and Esther screamed, "I know you from the papers back then! You haven't changed a bit just graceful aging. Glad to finally meet you in person." and his mother yelled, "what's happening in there Esther? You now bring strangers into my house?" She was puzzled by hearing them laugh but then it was odd. She heard a voice she's been wishing to hear one more time for a long time, and she stood up. Into the kitchen there he was, and she burst into tears. He slowly walked to her and gave her a big warm hug, but his tear thought never of making a show, even with a fake one. She knew he was still mad at her but happy for the hug, was a huge relief and a big step towards mending their relationship.
Esther left them and went to the back porch.
Some minutes later, H went out to call her to make them tea and have a circle chat. That was the beginning of many to be in the house. H was now running a consulting firm, Anonymous Hiln, which was doing well in industry terms. He was home to establish a branch but his worry was the saga he left behind. Talking about it with his mother he found out his father just passed away a few months ago. It was a good thing to him as it said to him that he won't be followed up like then as the root source was no more. His new office was launched and it was a promising build up. On every second week he flew to check out the main office in Nebraska.
One slow Wednesday he decided to take a walk around town alone. Passing by a filling station someone saw him. Thinking you mingle incognito in a mask, Gabriel spotted him and hooted at him. With a reserved curiosity he waved back and continued on. The car drove nearby and the tinted window rolled down and there was his worse nightmare, Gabriel offered him a lift and he got into the back seat. It was awkward but both managed to work on it. They went to his apartment and got to meet their sister, but H as usual was honest to them that he's not into building a relationship with them or anything of sort, as he was just being civil. He later said his byes and walked back to his office, leaving them with heavy hearts.
A few days later whilst in Nebraska, with Sye in his car after the meeting with a client. Getting out of Sye's car, H looked at Sye and told him he looked content with his unpractical sports car. And from Sye's reaction of self-check, asked him: "tell me, how does it feel being you?"
Sye: "sometimes I..."
H: "no, not sometimes,,,but this's about always."
Sye: "I am, ehh,,, but why?"
H: "thing is, today it just occurred to me that I'm just living but not having a life. The drive through the vista made me look at my life in a few kilometres from my success destination, and it looked bleak."
Sye: "but it can't be you saying that. Your life is one that's envied. And honestly, even I wish for yours."
H: "you can't be the one uttering such. You know how it is. We're in this together and forever if want it be."
Sye: "every woman dreams of a man as powerful as you. A man like me is no commander of anything. But on your side it's a carpet ride into everyone's regards. They worship the ground you step on."
H: "had I known beforehand how low of self you think, I'd have chosen a better partner to walk the path of influence this group is worshipped for with."
Sye: "sorry sorry sorry, I didn't realise how offensive that is."
H: "I don't powerstep with floozies and fellaheen fiefs."
Sye: "I know and I'm sorry."
H: "you see? The reason I don't like my life. Don't get me wrong here; I love myself but the people around me don't love me, they only like how it feels to be around me."
Sye: "it's not like anyone behates you or otherwise."
H: "then why behave as though I feed you stoned vinegar? It makes me feel so bad than blessed. Don't fear me, respect me!"
Sye: "I do, with all my heart."
H: "I'd have been happy if were with all your mind. The heart pumps blood that's all to it. But, can't dictate your thinking. I hate where success path is leading me, since friends fail to be themselves yet serial crack selves up for my approval."
Sye: "it's something we can't run away from. You're our leader and path minder."
H: "nuff of that, depressed already. What do we eat today?"
Sye: "your favourite!"
H: "uchh!!! Hear yourself? I'm out."
Sye: "what wrong have I done now?" (As H bangs the door behind him)
Sye: "ohhhh,,,I centred that around him. Let me go apologize. But then, he won't like it. Eish, he's so damn hard to be around sometimes. No wonder he loves himself less." (He said to himself. And remained behind)
Moments later, Omia, a researcher came in and started talking about a neighbour tenant. Omia: "she talked about seeing a white monkey every night in her sleep for the past few days. I doubt her soundness upstairs."
Sye: "she's perfectly fine. It's just that she saw an albino ape and it never escaped from her mind. Pay no attention to that."
Omia: "thanks for dewhiffing that. I was truly in a state of idle worry."
Sye: "all the Delilahs of this world know what it means to have a visit from the yellow eyed white monkey."
Omia: "meaning?"
Sye: "She's one. Believe you in me."
Omia: "huh?"
Sye: "Delilah. Yes! She, the one who knows the play into a man's main brandhood."
Omia: "and her plot?"
Sye: "only a slay knight will cloy out of her seductive loy."
Omia: "but I heard she's one of the few good ones in a sponge squeeze of the corporate catalogue. Thought you liked her."
Sye: "wrong! I get no hots for psychos. I'd say maybe your boss, they're suitable for each other. Cute talkative weirdos. Don't you think?"
Omia: "oops!!! Ohkay,,,thanks, my lunch hour is over, bye." (She went out with the speed of light, not wanting to gossip about H)
A day later back home, H was with Esther and he asked her about her family and future plans. To his surprise, Esther was in fact a qualified nurse who has no kids to her name. They had a long interesting chat thinking that his mother was still in bed. She listened in on them and kept quiet, but happy that finally H is making a good move for her memory. She loved Esther with all her heart because of her care for her and so did H.
H: "no, not sometimes,,,but this's about always."
Sye: "I am, ehh,,, but why?"
H: "thing is, today it just occurred to me that I'm just living but not having a life. The drive through the vista made me look at my life in a few kilometres from my success destination, and it looked bleak."

A day later back home, H was with Esther and he asked her about her family and future plans. To his surprise, Esther was in fact a qualified nurse who has no kids to her name. They had a long interesting chat thinking that his mother was still in bed. She listened in on them and kept quiet, but happy that finally H is making a good move for her memory. She loved Esther with all her heart because of her care for her and so did H.
Later that evening they went out on a date after his mother told him that she expects a visitor from the club she's part of. The two saw that as an opportunity to break out and have dinner together at a restaurant. She wore a plain dress and at her feet rocked some pumps. She was elegantly casual and him wore a denim jean trouser with a golf shirt with sneakers. They painted the town walls plain mild. Esther for a change was alive and talkative, doing well to complement the ever talking H who toned down for a change to accommodate her for balance in their convo.
In the middle of the meal Esther asked: "the relationship with you and your mother and me coming in, why want me in your affairs?"
H: "you bring calm and stability, without you there won't be any relationship with her to talk about. Our relationship is a mess if left alone."
Esther: "I never realised it was that bad. But I'm glad to be around honestly."
H: "why's that?"
Esther: "I get to see you in the flesh, other people pay for that and others just wish. I am lucky I'd like to believe. That's just how I see it."
H: "thanks."
Esther: "Omia and Sye. You like talking about them. Your relationship with them? I'm curious."
H: "it's a fusion of cumplications between a tripartite plus one in-stepper, and that's you. Love for my type a stint of what's to get out of another gender with factor on emotion and mind's eye, something with them a long walk away from it."
Esther: "yoh, I'm lost. But how me coming in whilst I don't know them?"
H: "in simpler terms what I mean is that I like them but love you. I'm deeply in love with you Esther, and I really mean it."
Esther: "I know. I was wondering when're you going to sober up from that sedative portion and say it 'cause it's been a long time coming and I was starting to give up thinking it's just my imagination."
H: "does this mean you do me too?"
Esther: "a big yes, and maybe more than you do me. I love you Hiln."
H: "my fear was you didn't mention love or marriage wishes in your future plans."
Esther: "I was thinking but not straight. Everytime I see you I get goosebumps and fall off my character wagon."
H: "trouble is, with me, I let my story write itself. Just like now, I can tell bet my mother's not having any visitor, I had to wait for such a moment to present itself before I can tell you what's in my heart, and now am free to claim you as mine."
Esther:"we belong to each other. But not that I don't trust or believe you, but why love me?"
H: "to be honest, a turn off for me. I'd prefer you said what I love you for. I love you because you have a big heart, caring, respectful, love me, completes me, and unerasable in my life chapter. I love you my nurse, Mrs Yote to me."
Esther: "I love you too my consultant. Mmmhhh,,it feels so good to hear you say that, Mrs Esther Yote, yhoo!!"
H took Esther's hand and kissed it. "I've been dying for this moment with you and more perfect than I imagined it, thanks to you my love" he said. "Oh, look at the time, already 9 p.m, have to go. I have to check on Ms Yote" and they went out and drove off. That night Esther didn't sleep, her heart was racing exaltantly with mixed feelings of love, joy and anxiety, playing with herself deep in pools of desire. She was lusting for him and but afraid of coming too strong for his liking. Asking herself if she's dreaming or it's really real? Herself being loved by him?
The following morning he was up earlier than them and sat in the back porch. He sent a text message to invite her outside. She immediately came and they wasted no time, they were allover each other and the days game was charged with change in the house. H thanked his mother for having brought him a fiancee and Esther happy for being chosen by her agency to care for Rosslyn. There was warmth in their home and Rosslyn's health eventually regained oomph and the agency recalled Esther whom through the order of her fiance resigned and privately informed her superiors about the real reason she had to go. They all were happy for her and wished her well.
In the middle of the meal Esther asked: "the relationship with you and your mother and me coming in, why want me in your affairs?"
H: "you bring calm and stability, without you there won't be any relationship with her to talk about. Our relationship is a mess if left alone."
Esther: "I never realised it was that bad. But I'm glad to be around honestly."
H: "why's that?"
Esther: "I get to see you in the flesh, other people pay for that and others just wish. I am lucky I'd like to believe. That's just how I see it."
H: "thanks."
Esther: "Omia and Sye. You like talking about them. Your relationship with them? I'm curious."
H: "it's a fusion of cumplications between a tripartite plus one in-stepper, and that's you. Love for my type a stint of what's to get out of another gender with factor on emotion and mind's eye, something with them a long walk away from it."
Esther: "yoh, I'm lost. But how me coming in whilst I don't know them?"
H: "in simpler terms what I mean is that I like them but love you. I'm deeply in love with you Esther, and I really mean it."
Esther: "I know. I was wondering when're you going to sober up from that sedative portion and say it 'cause it's been a long time coming and I was starting to give up thinking it's just my imagination."
H: "does this mean you do me too?"
Esther: "a big yes, and maybe more than you do me. I love you Hiln."
H: "my fear was you didn't mention love or marriage wishes in your future plans."
Esther: "I was thinking but not straight. Everytime I see you I get goosebumps and fall off my character wagon."
H: "trouble is, with me, I let my story write itself. Just like now, I can tell bet my mother's not having any visitor, I had to wait for such a moment to present itself before I can tell you what's in my heart, and now am free to claim you as mine."
Esther:"we belong to each other. But not that I don't trust or believe you, but why love me?"
H: "to be honest, a turn off for me. I'd prefer you said what I love you for. I love you because you have a big heart, caring, respectful, love me, completes me, and unerasable in my life chapter. I love you my nurse, Mrs Yote to me."
Esther: "I love you too my consultant. Mmmhhh,,it feels so good to hear you say that, Mrs Esther Yote, yhoo!!"
H took Esther's hand and kissed it. "I've been dying for this moment with you and more perfect than I imagined it, thanks to you my love" he said. "Oh, look at the time, already 9 p.m, have to go.

They all were happy for her and wished her well.
At work, H contacted a friend of his who's a specialist in chiropractic care and then she agreed to working with her in their clinic, especially because of staff shortages and uncertainties due to Covid-19. He called her to go visit her the following day, and even arranged with one of his staff to collect her to go there, and she was hired on the spot as a staff nurse. It was another dream come true for her. That night she thanked him properly for that.
Sync 2
Two days after that, a call came in from Gabriel telling him that Ceaser got involved in a car accident and needing some financial assistance from them but awfully running short. H asked how much they needed and the banking details to deposit into, and Gabriel asked if he can't join him on his trip to the hospital, and H said he was too busy. Gabriel took it upon himself and drove to him and had no choice but go with him. The trip was a tad awkward in its first leg and better on the second one. They were denied going in together and Gabriel went in alone and had pictures of him taken. Showing them to him he asked: "why the pics? Evidence I suppose?"
Gabriel: "yes and no actually. He wanted you to see him, just in case."
H: "so, you want me to pay a large sum for someone who has no hope of getting out alive? Really!!!"
Gabriel: "no, he so much wanted to meet you."
H: "but why? It won't change a thing."
Gabriel: "it will, in many ways. Of our siblings only you have taken after dad and you to us are special. And, I've got a question."
H: "okay, shoot!"
Gabriel: "why sold the business soon after we met with you?"
H: "did that bug you? Why's that?"
Gabriel: "made us feel like you took us for people after inheritance, and that's not the case. We were excited and wanted connection with you that's all."
H: "well,,I suppose not. Look where we're now. Ransacked for whatever you may get out of me 'cause you feel entitled to it by blood." (To which Gabriel hit the brakes and asked his half-brother to be sensitive as it's serious accusations against them he's pinning of which H then apologized, and never talked again until drop off when Gabriel asked him to not assist anymore as they'll manage). The same night H discussed that with Esther and she encouraged him to transfer the sum. Hearing that he was not sure, she suggested he transferred it to her account and she forward it. H did that and the minute it reflected an earlybird surgery was scheduled for Ceaser. Gabriel after getting the call to thank him for the deposit and scheduling of the surgery, got puzzled who did the deposit as he got told it's from E Morrein. He kept quiet and feared calling H for confirmation thereof.
The following day, H had an irate client in the guise of Vincent Blanco. And they had to even meet for a face to face encounter so the matter be laid to rest. After the call Kelly called in saying that there's a super fine man looking for him calling himself Gab. He said he's coming and but never got out of office. Gabriel understood he's still mad at him for the bad convo they had and also how they departed. He made a call to him and H didn't answer, so, he said his byes and drove back to the hospital. 3 hours after, Vincent was at the office. He was still fuming, though all was for show, and demanded he see their boss. He was sent through. H asked they go to the boardroom but he insisted they talked right there and then. Vincent was the spectacle showing type and on that day H was long expired on that front, and the encounter went awry.
H: "The only problem with you is your failure to challenge your poor undermarked sense of ecovolution. Pacing afront level of wages with rates of change said it all to me. But then Sir, that's a case for another day. Those Instalment In Part or IIP agreements you had with those distributors should on your side be with punctuated thought on their time taken to process their stock before their time taken to sell their stock."
Gabriel: "yes and no actually. He wanted you to see him, just in case."
H: "so, you want me to pay a large sum for someone who has no hope of getting out alive? Really!!!"
Gabriel: "no, he so much wanted to meet you."

Those Instalment In Part or IIP agreements you had with those distributors should on your side be with punctuated thought on their time taken to process their stock before their time taken to sell their stock."
Vincent: "I hear you but limited to my novicehood."
H: "This takes me back to the way you had the two TIAs signed appeged your SLAs. You should've known first of these logistical issues mated to their sales trends."
Vincent: "What are the TIAs and when did you give me them to sign?"
H: "Territorial Investment Agreements. You signed them for separate regions with your new business manager. Today he's claiming that you never afforded him time to peruse them prior to your endorsement of them, hence he came in to hand his termination of mandate with you."
Vincent: "I don't get you. Do I pay you all to convene and blame me with those stupid abbreviations of yours or do I pay you for value?"
H: "If only were in my account of lane talk Sir, wouldn't be saying all those things. I told you from day one that you coming in here with discount mentality will only lead to you with discounted service, it meant this in fact. Learn to adhere to recommendations from those you mandate as you contracted them for a purpose with the reason that you don't know and wanting assistance. But clearly, not you as you know better."
Vincent: "You see now! Is that your answer to me? Do you know me? Do you know whom I roll with, boy?"
H: "My beautiful Sir, what do you do when a blind man you're supposed to help cross the road suddenly tells you how they can be the one holding your hand to help you cross the road?"
Vincent: "Is that how you see me? A beautiful blind man you're siphoning money from, pretending to be an expert? Know that my eyes are wide open and seeing you clearer than with a torch in darkness, you crook! You think you're not replaceable? Know this, with me, I can kick you out right now and tomorrow have a better advisor. Don't try me."
H: "Replacement, yes I am replaceable. But know that, business is like a car, change its mechanics from time to time, you won't know any joy of progress in its fix."
Vincent: "Ahaa!!! Yes, admitting it! You aren't irreplaceable. Your word play says nothing to me."
H: "That's out of the question, bother not for it's always been a default right you intentionally abused. Hence I say this again; if only were in my account of lane talk Sir, it'd be easier for you to interpret my statement. But then, seeing that you are loitering the alleys to the depth of your fate, you can't be there obviously."
Vincent: "Where's that actually? Where only crooks step? Tell me!"
H: "It's right where intellects walk the chains of your dreams locked in idea conceptualization to desires of creative doubters like you."
Vincent: "Smart boy, think that you've got it all huh! Still on with mockery?"
H: "No Sir, it's all about levels and as such meaning that I won't be continuing with consulting for you. And for your information, the whole consultory is moving with the very motion. This, a decision we made last night in your absentia."
Vincent: "You can't have meetings behind my back. I'm going to sue you and whole lot of them. You don't know me well I see."
H: "I suppose you never read our SLA with you, I figure you just signed like you did with those TIAs."
Vincent: "You think I'm that stupid? Okay, we'll see about that!"
H: "Again, those people you claim to roll with are on our books, some of them are saying they're enough of your attitude."
Vincent: "Who are they? Call them now!"
H: "Unfortunately Sir, I'm no longer taking any orders from you. We're done. And I'll await your paperwork from your lawyers. It was a displeasure working with you."
Vincent: "Mistake of hiring boys and girls with cheap soles."
H: "I thank you. Hope you continue affording your expensive Italian soles."
Vincent: "What's that implying? Cheap boy!!!"
(H never stopped and down the stairs he went leaving Vincent ranting alone until he got out of his office) H went to check on his fiancee at work and had a great conversation. He proposed to her, and she said "yes!!"
The following morning he was all spirited and took a flight to the Nebraska office. After the brief, the usual suspects went after him into his centred glass office. He broke it to them about his engagement to Esther and they were awed as none knew about anyone in the picture. He moved on quickly to discuss a replacement for the Trendlada account, Vincent Blanco's company, and Celia said to him: "we'll have a replacement soon. Plus there's a lot of interest from the Nevada office. But of all..."
H: "This takes me back to the way you had the two TIAs signed appeged your SLAs. You should've known first of these logistical issues mated to their sales trends."

He moved on quickly to discuss a replacement for the Trendlada account, Vincent Blanco's company, and Celia said to him: "we'll have a replacement soon. Plus there's a lot of interest from the Nevada office. But of all..."
Sye: "not soon but already have. I've just received a confirmation email for that. The yogurt making company is now in the fold. Better replacement I must say."
Celia: "thanks Sye, good job. But above all, thanks H for a solo effort in resolving that matter. Shhoo!! That man's ego's like a bloated swine to push around at times. I was up to here with him."
H: "you worry not amore. He blew his own stencil of chance away."
Sye: "what did he say?"
H: "fear the truth advanced in a moment of anger, for it has the potential to gutter all the good you saw in one and dim the light you had in the individual."
Sye: "what truth? Was it that bad? Anything from him now?"
H: "yes, it was that bad, but I don't want to know what he's busy doing or saying now. I'll only care should I hear that he's counting papers than he reads them."
Sye: "I concur, he's been no pleasure to work with."
Celia: "not forgetting his late low part payments with stories all the time. Good riddance I must say."
Sye & H: "yeah, right." (All laughing)
Celia: "I'll retire from praising a useless bastard with shiny suits. My day's made."
Sye: "you can say that again, hahaha."
H: "let's go out and show the clients what we have."
Sye: "but before we go, you once said we soon have to spread out. What should I make of that?"
H: "oh that! I meant we are heading to that phase of having everyone of us being in charge of an office elsewhere as we grow. This, we'll manage jointly and in alternate supervision visits. Is that clear enough?"
Celia: "what does Omia know of this?"
Sye: "remember she was with us when we spoke about it, and said nothing. I take it she got it but have to talk to her about it. Or any of you."
H: "why any of us? Who's idea's that?"
Sye: "mine."
H: "then?"
Sye: "I'll talk to her."
H: "done. Thanks. We may disperse. Plus the sync board indicates your first client will be with you in the next 4."
Celia: "ohh, I forgot, Mr Russouw, yes. Let me quickly go and prep for him."
H: "okay, enjoy. And you too Sye."
Sye: "is that a promotion of sort?"
H: "yes, you'll be MDs come next month."
Sye: "oh yes,,,I love you man."
H: "love yourself slim swine!!" (Both laughed as he exited)
Sye: "thanks."
The rest of that day was a jolly one for him. He during both their free times got them in for the download of new data to plug their spirits with. Sye and Omia's dreams were about to be realized. They knew going with H was a good decision.
Within some months wedding ceremony bells rang on the two love birds and then life wasn't as it was with H. His time was split between the office and family. The 5 offices they have were each assigned to one of them. Not long he bought a top of the range VSV Ritorq ES 42h and a log cabin ridge in Alaska. Esther was heavily pregnant with their second child which for him was his first. He took her and his mother there and once she delivered, had her mother stay with them too. It was an experience that was balanced. H never stopped working and so did Esther. After her leave she went back to work and had a lovely surprise when coming back. The home they were used to was upgraded to something special and Esther's mother was impressed as well. H told Esther that in no time they'll have to do something for her parents as well, and she was more ecstatic.
One day in a consultation with some new kids on the money block, who wants to go into business via partnership to build an empire, H sat them down and had them scratch their heads over their readiness to go in, saying this:
H: "I would first love to welcome you into the world of business gentlemen."
Celia: "thanks Sye, good job. But above all, thanks H for a solo effort in resolving that matter. Shhoo!! That man's ego's like a bloated swine to push around at times. I was up to here with him."

H: "I would first love to welcome you into the world of business gentlemen."
Partner 1,2&3: "thanks."
H: "for interest sake, what did you listen to or viewed on your way here?
Partner 2: "hip to da hip di hop hop vids nonstop."
Partner 3: "I was checking cable news. Why?"
H: "'cause it's important to stay in touch with current affairs to realize your success."
Partner 1: "is that a must?"
H: "yes but not obligatory."
Partner 2: "boring!!!"
H: "then, let's get into the real business of your why you're here business."
Partner 2: "that's my man, talking my lingo. About time."
H: "as partners you'll be incorporators, right. As incorporators you by virtue of your status become directors. Whether be it non-executive, or alternate, or main directors, it's your choice, and thus saying you all will be shareholders to proportion matrix of your own choice as well. But then, when you're opening a business account you'd be joint signatories or co-signatories. From there there'll be other compliance glitches to undertake and finally, the money making part. What would you do with your first $10mln guys, come your break? You're now on $290K I'm reliably informed. Your thoughts?
Partner 1: "we'll buy a new crib and convert it to our main office."
H: "okay, sounds wonderful."
Partner 2: "we'll buy a new business car and reinvest the rest into the business."
Partner 3: "we'll take a quarter of it and share it as payment and buy more new equipment to grow our business."
H: "wow, you guys are thinkers I like that. Young as you are, why not from that, enroll part-time by paying for each of you upfront via your business account as dividend draws or as your benefit and continue with related to your business courses while doing business still? Also, who's planning on putting the ring on someone's finger soon?"
Partner 2: "with all due respect Sir, where is the marriage thing taking us? Let's talk pretty paper man."
H: "I know it's what you want now, but it's only when things go as unplanned that you start wanting legal advice. Well, it's not my place again, but your marriage regime affects your business somehow. Protect your business from such future eventualities now by committing to right economic choices. Just saying."
Partner 1: "awesome stuff, none has ever said such to me before. I love you bro!"
Partner 2: "but I still don't get it."
H: "you will one day, now you're not forced to."
Partner 2: "thanks we on the same page. Let's register and go out to be honest businessmen."
Partner 3: "you know, I'm worried that you Jnr (Partner 2) don't want to listen. This is important, hence going to school also to learn better to have a cushion to fall back on is important. Honestly, I'd love to pay hundreds more of dollars to a person who loves me enough to share this much with me instead of giving me what I want and leave me unlead and blind. Think Jnr."
Partner 1: "even when we're in business, would you be still available to guide us?"
H: "that'll depend on Jnr. But as for me it's my job. I do it for others too everyday."
Partner 3: "what're other issues in our way to check Sir?"
Partner 1: "yeah, that's right!"
H: "thanks for that question. There's more actually like how you report to each other starting from now. On the minute update, after the minute update, or moments after the fact? To avoid confusions in your communication. Your quorum for decision making and decision taking, it's of importance, same is your shareholding allotment, so you can have a register of directors, or RoD. There's still a whole lot more to dwell on unfortunately."
Partner 3: "like?"
H: "your executive vision, corporate strategies and imaging, company by-laws in your company policy booklet and other tons of stuff to look into over time."
Partner 1: "I never thought it'd be great to this point to consult. We should do this as often as possible. So, what's your advice for us now?"
H: "I'm not allowed to advise sadly, I'm a recommendations type of a man. For you I'd ask first, are you
H: "for interest sake, what did you listen to or viewed on your way here?
Partner 2: "hip to da hip di hop hop vids nonstop."
Partner 3: "I was checking cable news. Why?"
H: "'cause it's important to stay in touch with current affairs to realize your success."
Partner 1: "is that a must?"
H: "yes but not obligatory."
Partner 2: "boring!!!"
H: "then, let's get into the real business of your why you're here business."
Partner 2: "that's my man, talking my lingo. About time."
H: "as partners you'll be incorporators, right. As incorporators you by virtue of your status become directors. Whether be it non-executive, or alternate, or main directors, it's your choice, and thus saying you all will be shareholders to proportion matrix of your own choice as well. But then, when you're opening a business account you'd be joint signatories or co-signatories. From there there'll be other compliance glitches to undertake and finally, the money making part. What would you do with your first $10mln guys, come your break? You're now on $290K I'm reliably informed. Your thoughts?
Partner 1: "we'll buy a new crib and convert it to our main office."
H: "okay, sounds wonderful."
Partner 2: "we'll buy a new business car and reinvest the rest into the business."
Partner 3: "we'll take a quarter of it and share it as payment and buy more new equipment to grow our business."
H: "wow, you guys are thinkers I like that. Young as you are, why not from that, enroll part-time by paying for each of you upfront via your business account as dividend draws or as your benefit and continue with related to your business courses while doing business still? Also, who's planning on putting the ring on someone's finger soon?"
Partner 2: "with all due respect Sir, where is the marriage thing taking us? Let's talk pretty paper man."
H: "I know it's what you want now, but it's only when things go as unplanned that you start wanting legal advice. Well, it's not my place again, but your marriage regime affects your business somehow. Protect your business from such future eventualities now by committing to right economic choices. Just saying."
Partner 1: "awesome stuff, none has ever said such to me before. I love you bro!"
Partner 2: "but I still don't get it."
H: "you will one day, now you're not forced to."
Partner 2: "thanks we on the same page. Let's register and go out to be honest businessmen."
Partner 3: "you know, I'm worried that you Jnr (Partner 2) don't want to listen. This is important, hence going to school also to learn better to have a cushion to fall back on is important. Honestly, I'd love to pay hundreds more of dollars to a person who loves me enough to share this much with me instead of giving me what I want and leave me unlead and blind. Think Jnr."
Partner 1: "even when we're in business, would you be still available to guide us?"
H: "that'll depend on Jnr. But as for me it's my job. I do it for others too everyday."
Partner 3: "what're other issues in our way to check Sir?"
Partner 1: "yeah, that's right!"
H: "thanks for that question. There's more actually like how you report to each other starting from now. On the minute update, after the minute update, or moments after the fact? To avoid confusions in your communication. Your quorum for decision making and decision taking, it's of importance, same is your shareholding allotment, so you can have a register of directors, or RoD. There's still a whole lot more to dwell on unfortunately."
Partner 3: "like?"
H: "your executive vision, corporate strategies and imaging, company by-laws in your company policy booklet and other tons of stuff to look into over time."
Partner 1: "I never thought it'd be great to this point to consult. We should do this as often as possible. So, what's your advice for us now?"
H: "I'm not allowed to advise sadly, I'm a recommendations type of a man. For you I'd ask first, are you
ready to go into business together or needing to think it through prior to taking that leap? Many characters gets fronted at most in this phase and the worst mistake is believing you're going to work through it over time with personalities. Partnership agreement is same as a marriage contract, you miss the tell tale signs from the onset you set yourself up for a bumpy ride. Your choice gentlemen I'm afraid."
Partner 2: "forget this, let's rather we go elsewhere and register without a sermon first?"
Partner 3: "you know, I see clearly now. I say we go back and come back ready."
H: "my point exactly. Thanks."
Partner 1: "what's actually clear obviously is you man (pointing at Jnr). I think we need to buy you out man, now."
H: "no need for that. As of now best you go and spread it further then decide on me or another agent to assist you. Thanks."
Partner 3: "but you honestly say you're gonna be there for us all the way!!!"
H: "I've got a consultory, worry less. I'm not alone. And, that's if you do come back, we'll develop your business model, idea plan and your growth plan. But mind you, that's if...I guess you get the drill I'm picking from, 'cause for me this was, but just not sure about your analytic pattern."
Partner 1: "very much sorry Sir for my behaviour."
H's fone vibrated silently and he attended to it. It was a text message from Nelson saying his mother has passed on due to Covid-19 complications just some few minutes ago. He quickly recused himself and called him instantly. He was still in shock and but they talked, and H promised to be there not long. He went back in and concluded with the new money block kids. And the last one out (Partner 3) congratulated him on acquisition of his VSV and he winked back at him. He then switched his computer off and went out to rush there.
On the day of the funeral H went along with Esther, and they were all happy to see her. She was driving her shiny newly bought Feilign Pronto 1800 Thunder Series. H was driven by her on the day. They're the family's envy. They were now piecing together the puzzle pieces who the sender of Ceaser's money was as she did also with Gabriel and Nelson's mother. They thanked her. Esther was so thrilled by that that she gave H sleepless nights in a row, keeping him busy with her gratitude for putting her name up there.
Esther's family was on the other hand also grateful for their home upgrade that now was more roomy, airy and bigger than before. He made Esther pay through her account as usual. Every Monday he flew out to check on one office and spend the day there, to after work fly back home. His chopper was a good mode of mobility for him. Just last month he was with Esther celebrating her graduation which will make her a future specialist nurse. It shows she's not relaxed either. They sure seem to be pushing forth with the family vision as she made it clear to him she's not the business material. Their mothers continue to date happy with their success in both marriage and careers...dp
Q_what's your business's executive vision? Was Hiln ashamed of Esther's position before marrying her? Do you think the consulting boys went back for their business registration? What's boring about Hiln's life according to him? How many partners like Jnr have you been with in your life?
Partner 2: "forget this, let's rather we go elsewhere and register without a sermon first?"

Scenario 150
The plot: stick to what you know, but do acknowledge that evolution is unavoidable and should be embraced though not a solution to every problem.
As a revered painter, sculptor and owner of the studio and art gallery, YerevArt, based in Yerevan, Armenia, Rodriq Lowe's remark a huge blessing for the young sculptor he praised from Jermuk, called Gor Pvyan. Gor was pleased with himself when he was invited to come and stay with him for 6 months for him to learn from him. Rodriq is known for critiquing many aspirants who were by him not authentic enough. In Gor he found fluidity he so much love to utter in search of in art. His daughter, Ara, a product of surrogacy, was secretly fond of Gor but afraid of her father. Gor quickly awoke to that fact but too was afraid of the same reason as her.
To his surprise, Rodriq brought in Gor for him to learn his time in the industry but a twist happened, Rodriq was learning a bit of new stuff from Gor. He even took him wherever he went. They always had raw exchanges of passion to share. One day they missed Eum Breytanan, an owner of a new art gallery called Euman Art. He was in a spirit of gloating, so they walked two blocks and there he was, in a royal blue jacket. Eum hurriedly advanced and said to Rodriq, with eyes fixated on Gor: "I believe he's the new gem you just dug out I heard."
Rodriq: "yaah, what can I say? Gor Pyvan" and they shook hands.
Eum: "a rare diamond they say. A raw quality I see. A true diamond story type."
Rodriq: "rare a disenfranchisement. This's the new common to your vicinity. Pattern is a norm, quality a neutral statement."
Eum: "how are you son? How does it feel being you?"
Gor: "I'm fine, thanks Sir. I'm thankful and humbled by the opportunity experience."
Eum: "well mannered unlike that PA of yours. Why does he hate me so much?"
Rodriq: "he's not my PA, but my manager. He's just too passionate about his job."
Eum: "I have somewhere to run to. Thank you Gor. Next time my friend." He crossed the street and got swallowed by the crowds. Rodriq went on to his studio.
His manager Jammon deFronza was on lunch when they found him and dished up for them. The topic of the day became Eum and his remarks, which after turned to his new masterpiece in the room. Art was his passion and first love in all things him. He looked out the window quietly for a moment as if he wasn't with them, then remarkably said: "it's like with passion, desire a scintilla skosh that doesn't die down, for its spirited genuiety like that of an aspirant escort. Its quality to the naked you lusting for that nude perfect model in a space full of them, but having none looking at you in that fashion in spite of all those secrets laden in you dandered." "Is it still art or your creative chamber gallery that we're talking of? I'm lost" Jammon stated. With a smile Rodriq sat next to his riff flagship signature sculpture "Neo livid civilization" at the corner and turned to him in say: "if you'd discovered gospel is in fact a sin, would you be still shouting out about it like you do every Sunday?"
Jammon: "I don't get where this's leading us to, honestly, I'm afraid!"
Rodriq: "religion's a well billed ostinato mezzo junket. Sadly, its dearly devotees a coagula factor to the truth distortion that spiritual conduit masters are to impurity subsistence."
Jammon: "is this how you're to spin off this piece for sale? My rennin on a break."
Rodriq: "evolution mated to bedeviled realization of Babylonian power. It's not me yet not them, but another factor by others who are controlled by some to create demand, and one of those factors is a controversial piece of an art article. It is what's that word you like to use?"
Jammon: "ceteris paribus? Eish, yaah,,,I know scarcity is the universal feature of economic life, but with that fashion of thinking, am worried. How will we price the piece as our base for auction?"
Rodriq: "we hype it."
Jammon: "okay. But, the angle? What's the key draw point differentiator on this one? We need to think."
Rodriq: "why think when there're new ways to these things nowadays?"
Jammon: "okay, interesting. We'll have to create a volume of demand for just one piece supplied? Let's hope the market is still the same as pre-covid."
Rodriq: "it's even better."
Jammon: "you reckon?"
Rodriq: "yes certainly. There's this thing called TnF on the net, it's huge, we can sell it there."
Jammon: "owh, you mean NFT (non fungible token)? It's the in thing in cyber market space in the currency. We can go that route if you're ready and comfortable with it."
Rodriq: "it's practical theory than that mathematical theory of yours, Gor told me about it."
Gor: "yes, but it's still all too new to me."
Jammon: "if it's still all too foreign to him, can then return to our roots and set new highs."
Gor: "I still feel online bidding still viable and relevant today."
Rodriq: "okay, online bidding it is. Thanks."
Jammon: "so, let's prepare." They clapped to that in agreement. Gor was into the big time league now. Jammon organized a hybrid auction of online and offline bid.
The open day rose but one odd thing on the day was the disappearance of Rodriq. Ara called Gor to check if he's not with him. Gor jumped out of bed to help Ara search for her father. Jammon called Gor to check if he's with Rodriq maybe as he was running late. Hearing that he called Ara to ascertain whether she may be knowing where her father is, he was now afraid what will be his way out of it alone as the hype was thick in the space. The 3 met and went on a serious search for him until it was time for the show. A host of attendees were at first in it as a prank but realized when Jammon was struggling to hold his own that it dawned on them that truly something is off. Gor rescued him and took the audience on an oddo epic serendipity of art one article after the other. Happy with Gor's performance, Ara went to the office to check on Jammon who went off set, only to find him on the floor, wrapped out of his bollinger band. She remained calm and called the EMS without disturbing Gor on his newly found fame. Jammon was taken to the hospital where he was hospitalized for 8 days for treatment and observations. By then the search was still on for Rodriq.
Gor one morning went to check on Ara to find out what she's heard of late since it's been a month and Jammon on the other hand taking it easy. Listening to fly music by Tariffa Diffa's latest EP, 'Non completo' from her fone, he said to her: "you should try 7hefynest's '5-6-7 gape' and tell me. If not know it I'll sample it for you." It threw her off-thought the status quo and spoke about music, art and life. Ara was slowly becoming obvious to Gor that she's into him too. On that day Gor decided to seal it with a kiss and a long hug. It assured Ara she's not alone. They later went to see Jammon who was chuffed to see them. He was better than 5 days ago when they saw him. He was talking of wanting to take some time off indefinitely if Rodriq doesn't show up as he had enough saved to can sustain himself. The statement came from a bad place this time around. Ara felt betrayal of her father's close friend and manager, his selfishness coming to the fore now that he was nowhere to be found. Why should his friend utter such words? What's he in know of that they didn't? From that point Ara decided to cut her attachment to him since he was blatant about not giving a damn about them. Sad thing was Jammon didn't notice his statement's impact on Ara and Gor. The two left and went never again to him, answered never his calls, and allowed him never entry into the studio and the workshop, and at times shunned at the gallery. He never got an answer as none was approachable for him since then, and he chose to stay far as well.
Ara and Gor found someone who became an agent for them. Elias Daniko of Eliolas Art Curation, was a soft-spoken sole who wasn't much passionate about details of the articles but rather the platform media for exposure and monetization strategies of art pieces. Elias had a bloated catalog of photographers, models, celebrities, and organizers of events. He organized for art pieces to be placed on film sets, advertising shots, and lease some to hotels for decor when they have VIG's for statement. He found a way to monetize each and every article in the studio and partitioned the gallery into two. He created an exhibition foyer and in the other space a museum. He sold none yet made yields via views. He made Gor be the one to sell his pieces and but when crafting them, have an almost identical replica left behind so it make part of the exhibition foyer as the museum is of Rodriq's collection solely.
Jammon: "you reckon?"
Rodriq: "yes certainly. There's this thing called TnF on the net, it's huge, we can sell it there."
Jammon: "owh, you mean NFT (non fungible token)? It's the in thing in cyber market space in the currency. We can go that route if you're ready and comfortable with it."

He never got an answer as none was approachable for him since then, and he chose to stay far as well.
Ara and Gor found someone who became an agent for them. Elias Daniko of Eliolas Art Curation, was a soft-spoken sole who wasn't much passionate about details of the articles but rather the platform media for exposure and monetization strategies of art pieces. Elias had a bloated catalog of photographers, models, celebrities, and organizers of events. He organized for art pieces to be placed on film sets, advertising shots, and lease some to hotels for decor when they have VIG's for statement. He found a way to monetize each and every article in the studio and partitioned the gallery into two. He created an exhibition foyer and in the other space a museum. He sold none yet made yields via views. He made Gor be the one to sell his pieces and but when crafting them, have an almost identical replica left behind so it make part of the exhibition foyer as the museum is of Rodriq's collection solely.
A year passed and a couple of months into the second year without success of Rodriq's whereabouts, and Elias advised Ara to go to court to do a Presumption of death or PoD application for his father so she be struggling not with transactions amore. He advised Gor to accompany her there. At court they were asked about the circumstances of Rodriq's disappearance and period, his age during disappearance and his business dealings thereof. They furnished them with that information and more details as per the application requirements. The application went ahead as none came forth to claim anything against the disappeared person after it being published and gazetted. Ara had successfully presumed her father as being dead, and claimed all that was there to claim. She used most of it on the comme il faut campaign to commemorate her father. She became the sole legacy carrier with Gor as her co.
Not long, they were planning a testament to their love, and a ceremony was organized for their knot tying. The day came and Gor's family mingled with Ara's in jovial spirits. The wedding ceremony got underway, and as the pastor was about to have them cite their vows froze with disbelief and dropped the microphone saying "I don't believe this!" before pointing at the door. He was seeing Rodriq standing outside of the open hallway. Looking to the side, Ara screamed "dad!!" and let of Gor's hand. Showing her the inside of his palm to stop her from running to him, he stepped in and said: "nothing is as assuring as sound deadening upon your entering the room on arrival. What an encouraging sign."
Ara: "dad!"
Rodriq: "I used to be angry at Jammon, thinking he's the one who pulled that, but you." (pointing at both Ara and Gor)
Ara: "what wrong have we done dad? Except that we're getting married without your blessings?"
Gor: "true Sir! We thought you were dead."
Rodriq: "ohkay, exactly as you planned it! Huh?"
Gor: "I really don't get it Sir."
Rodriq: "don't get what? That,,how did they miss the brief? That I'm here today and alive? Never take a stranger into your hut, he'll flip your heart, now I've learned."
Ara: "dad, it's not like that."
Rodriq: "enough Ara, where's Jammon?"
Gor: "not invited because we thought he's the one responsible for your death Sir."
Ara: "he was acting strange after you disappeared that's why."
Rodriq: "so, who said I'm dead? But then it's fine. Finish up whatever you're playing and you'll find me at my house."
Ara: "daddy please! Don't go, I need you here with me. We'll sort everything out at home after this. Please daddy."
Gor: "we'll do everything you require of us as long as you can bless our union."
Ara: "please dad."
Rodriq: "it's fine, but know that I'm not fully happy about this." Ara ran to her father. They hugged for a moment and got inside and the ceremony went ahead and the two families joined hands and became one. Later Rodriq had a dance with Ara and during that they had a talk about what happened. After they headed home as there was no honeymoon planned. Gor's family wasn't sure what to make of the earlier story but got them assured there won't be anything bad that'll happen.
Gor's family started off cautiously but as the night grew saw that he wasn't wrong about his father-in-law. To ascertain Gor about his freedom and support to him, his father burped and stretched him arms and Gor and his mother knew he was in full approval. Ara whisked her father away to whisper to him to make him aware of what just transpired in there in conjunction with Gor's father's burp, and Rodriq was pleased. Elias had his time with the legend himself and his pleasure was too loud to miss.
The following morning Rodriq wanted to go visit his friend, Jammon, and then the museum and the exhibition foyer. Gor's father was asked to join in during that ride. Jammon was thrilled to see Rodriq again after having had lost all hope of ever seeing him alive. Rodriq explained to him about what happened on that day of his disappearance. Gor's father remained quiet for the whole part and at the end said it's how his son told him and was also sorry about his son and daughter-in-law's untoward behaviour. He had no problem as they were acting out of confusion, and glad he too got to know what actually transpired. It was rather sad and disturbing to hear of the instigator, and that happening to be Eum. None saw that coming, even Rodriq himself until he heard his voice over the fone when he was talking to his abductors. Eum has since committed suicide over fear of facing arrest and jail.
After that they went home to Rodriq's to woven amends.
Enroute home, they met up with Elias to give them a tour of the establishment. It impressed them all and Rodriq thanked him for the initiative. With a big smile he told them that it was all a wish he just brought to life. He persuaded them to go check the displays they secured for most of his collection. They were wowed by his way to selling art. Rodriq's collection was leased, frame captured, and no piece sold yet made enough on on-going manner. Jammon was more intrigued to say the least. He sat next to him in stir of wonder how he could've thought of such a brilliant idea. He was for him, a marvel to harness revitalizing breeze of anewness from. When it was time for him to leave, Jammon offered to drive him home and he declined the offer, citing a friend being outside already waiting for him. Asking whom it was, he said was the famous film producer, Zilv Cürj of Artventures, and the whole house went abuzz. He asked him in and it took forever to let them go, but was fun to be honest though. After two hours they left.
Days later, Zilv appeared on screen on the blue carpet to receive an award won for a blockbuster movie he created just a few months ago, "Dine in tricks" which was star studded. In his acceptance speech he made a shout out to all those he rubbed warm shoulders with for his luck at the Rodriq Lowe's household, especially Rodriq, Jammon deFronza and Tej Pvyan. Zilv visited again a week later and they had fun less the Pvyans. Elias kept on with the business and Rodriq was pleased with him and wanted nothing changed. Jammon was offered a chance to work together on some special commissions and the two made magic...dp
Q_how many types of friends have you got in your life? Why was Eum jealous of his friend? To you, what could possibly be the relationship between Elias and Zilv? Does Elias's business model logical to you?

There's a particular columnist that she follows and enjoy her articles. Malea of late is engaged in a very special to her project that Finn is supportive of. She's developing a new course that she's at the final stages of for a green light from the national qualifications authority. She's drawing from her experience in education development on this one.
Malea's love for education and training plus business is undeniable. She at times cried out for the lack of support from other societies. She did her time labouring on her own research and journal preps and finally her last batch of required particulars was filed and lodged with the authority as requested. It took 2 months and she was invited by the authority to give them a presentation on her proposed course curriculum. She was interviewed and after the grueling 2 hour literal affair got recused and had then went to consult a friend who's a specialist in unit standards to check if she was right about her presentation. Satisfied she was right about her presentation, headed back home to rest.
A few days later she received a response via email informing her of a conditional approval pending the certification council approval of seal allotment and certificate number. She was thrilled and nervous at the same time. She started engaging the publisher she had a promise from to print and distribute her material via. Finn was there with her by her side each step. In a week she received a call that her course was ready for take up by the independent education board and having had registered in the category they measured it's standard at. She drove there alone same time to go to collect the registration certificate and the graduates' certificate sample. She went on to the publishing house for a dummy copy of the hard copy, where she was issued with a dummy bearing an ISBN on it. She was so proud and excited about her future in the private education sector.
The piloting of the course was with success undertaken and proved positive. By the end of the pilot phase there was a long list of private universities that were ready to include it in their course array on offer. The new course Master of Enterprise Resourcing (M.ER), which takes a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 3 years to complete, took the world by storm. The course had only 7 modules in it and to be reviewed for cycle updates every 2 years. The registered modules being:
A month went by and her husband was in the driver's seat again, thanks to her now new friend, Dr Birol. Life in Turkey was now a different course to track for him but was glad to be finally back home in Switzerland. Finn Senn is a wonderful husband to Malea and been married for 14 years and still going strong and happy with their 2 boys, aged 6 and 11. Finn had tested + for Covid-19 while he was on a visit to his first born and only daughter from his previous marriage. He divorced her mother after 6 years of a rushed marriage. They met at school and had her conceive within months of dating and then married.
The marriage felt weird and cramped in many ways as her ex in-laws were ever meddling in their affairs and ruined it all for them. By then he was just starting out in advertising and her a fashion designer. After their failed marriage, his ex wife went on to be with the man her family set out for her to love and marry. They married after 2 years. Their marriage was wildly covered by big media players as she was making waves into the world of fashion and was celebrated. To date still the fashion icon many love to be like. The only downside to her crazy schedule is her time spent apart from her daughter.
Malea is a consultant curriculum advisor and an independent content creator for several media houses. Her favourite read for the weekend is NZZ am Sonntag, a Sunday isn't a Sunday without that paper. There's a particular columnist that she follows and enjoy her articles. Malea of late is engaged in a very special to her project that Finn is supportive of. She's developing a new course that she's at the final stages of for a green light from the national qualifications authority. She's drawing from her experience in education development on this one.

What was a pleasure to teach for her personally was Corpotilics & Corporatology, especially sole politics. She was the challenger to the education landscape in that her course was offered as an alternative to BBS or Bachelor of Business Science. The other difference with it was the practicality and simplified method of its teaching, those alone, set it apart. Anyone who took it up felt its fresh take on business schooling and its empowering experience. It was like no other in the space.
Because of the paramount success of the course, Malea Finn was the new lead persona in the faculty of commerce. One day she was invited to a roundtable discussion on education standards and alternative teaching methods. She was a pleasure to host in many circles it was heard, due to her rounded approach to subject matters discussed. As such, it was no surprise to have her on the guest list. And as it's usual of her, she arrived very early to familiarize herself with the setup and get the feel of acoustics. She was that thorough. Later on the other guests came in one after the other in time for starting time. The podcast program started and the topic of the day got a biteful of multi-codia of conforthed schools of thought and streaming numbers climbing as expected.
Halfway through, Malea broke the glass to allow access to the sickening curtain of ill by saying: "education today a worse source of damage in that you give the system 2 standards to instill inferiority to the majority and superiority to those in minority. Its inner workings blinding to the folded sight, hence its silent claim on victory. To be blunt, with the little they give to the inferior recipient, a lower band of causal system symptomatic with slim chance to fair outcomes at secondary level in prep for poor outcomes at tertiary level. But then, you in the lower band should suck much as you can even though educators in that already fractured band don't cover in full the already unlearnable syllabus with the aim of cashing in on extra lessons after school hours. Full syllabus cover is only enjoyed by those with financial means for extra lessons. Now, let me ask you, how can you learn to love your next lesson when at home your parent fails to make you love it since an educator is working against you? Who's to blame for the victims swallowed up by the cracks of this ever gaped well engineered machinery for failure? Who's busy with stats of school dropouts? So, my dear learned friend, understand me when I tell you that education is an agenda not an enemy some view it as. Know whom to direct your brouhaha to, for me not the voice your opinion will be relayed sans any distortion factor injected for dilution" and everyone turned and looked at her.
She went on to answer a question of fee structure duality and its educational loan qualification criterion. She iterated that: "I'm saying this things because I know it might be the last time I'm invited here. At times you hide around tonality for your morbidity" and by then the host interjected by saying: "you're free to air your views. It's a safe zone I'd like to believe!" With a smug brush off continued: "I know it's good for your numbers" with a finger pointing to him. After a brief laughter she said: "but sadly on the serious stuff, educational loans and fee structures at tertiary level are a polarity between policy and education act. Truth be told, segregation in the financial services sector is dense, and adding education into the mix a high speed spindle to the average taxpayer. To shave off the top, just look at the quality of personnel they place in financial institutions' branches to serve behind the educational loans desks, solutions aren't same to same bracket of clients, funding criteria applies differently, and double standard fees charged on products and services. How they treat you is exactly how they were trained, with focus on their academic status per branch specificity to serve at. It's a game of income band matchings. Poor quality training for low income band branches and the upper band high quality trained personnel. Pls underline this, there's standardization on training. There's standard personnel training and there's personalized professional training, reason being they don't serve same income band clientele. LSMs are really real and once you get the experience of it won't want a thing to do with what you were once accustomed to. The difference here? Their educational standards aren't the same. And sorry, wipe that tear with an ear jack of new philosophy on your life. I would've loved to elaborate further but not allowed by time left. Thanks" and kept quiet again.

And just before closing, she was asked to say something and she said: "the dynamics have from the start of curricula planning been strategically designed to be skew for the mere purpose of binary in the system. However, it takes us in the private education sector to undo the damage through our uptake criteria and investing also in various methodologies of lessons delivery that'll be in the best interest of redressing same. Let's not be agents of continuum chanel of selective discouragement to the dignity deprived category." The other guest asked: "binary, how?" "By creating two standards of each component in the system. Poor quality training/higher quality training, public education/private education, you get that I see" and with a nod he gave her a hand and appraised her: "I now know in full understanding why they said I shouldn't listen or back you up today, thanks for your presence here today" and she shook his hand and nodded back. The host with a squeaky laughter remarked: "you stole my shine professor, those lines are supposed to be mine for cue to wrap, but it's all good. Thanks again to all our guests for availing themselves and giving valuable content today. From me Erik Bieri, signing out, it's a wrap. 'Til the next episode" and it was a cut.
The professor was so fascinated by Malea that he carried on with the conversation long after the show and but for the second time in the history of the show that guests not leave the set because of interesting insights shared by one of the guests. And for the first time ever, the whole crew weighed in their cents worth and it took well over 2 hours before they could disperse. The focus was by then shifted to neo-etagraphics chapter in Neonatives in Personagy, the new age benchmark with a view on the recently touted MBS or Master of Business Science, about what it entails. The grace oozed by Malea was to die for, her elegance a buoy charm matched by her serenading lowly mellowed voice that screamed confidence, depth and poise. Her aura gave star stud presence. Her husband loves her for not just that but absolutely for that too.
Malea exited and on her way home her social media pages were abuzz once again like a month ago when she rejected a position to teach in the military school. The beeps means she did it once again and was a validation of sorts always. At home she was greeted by an appetizing aromatic smell to celebrate her 400 000 followers mark. Finn is nowhere near her with only 2 768 followers. He was proud of her and happy that she's doing it with love before doing it for their love, as he wants her to be personally happy before making him happy...dp
Q_is there still room for alternative courses in the educational landscape? Is to you true that education is an agenda not an enemy? What's your view on personnel training vs professional training? How big is your social media account?

Scenario 148
The plot: the depth of racism and racial intolerance.
"Lack of blaq/Less of whyt" read the new headline board, as still no flag coming forth to claim its overnight commercial success. The sensational viral hit with faceless hitmakers known only as Blaq/Whyt, has caused quite a stir in the world of politics and none is clear about whom the creator is except 1to3 Projects as the signature on video, and to whom it really points still a mystery seeing how fingers are already doing the accusation signs. The video shows clips of all wrongs gone right in the eyes of the perpetrators. Black Lives Matter, No peace in Germany, Sharpeville massacre, save Myanmar, Russia invades Ukraine, the Gulf war, and a host of other clips and hashtags feature in the video.
The only lyrics in the song which are sang by a children's choir, say in read as pop ups: 'black on black_white on white, black on white_white on black (X2), why turn on me_why hate on me; because of_ because of (x2)' but they make a strong statement that causes divisions globally through many issues raised by the clips. The way they are sang, tears deep and it force you to find your corner and point a finger at some injustice you've suffered in silence or out loud. In week three of the blow up, it was revealed that the ages behind the song are 16 and 17, and that one is Jewish and the other is black. 1to3 was linked to an Australian videographer, who raved rigmaroles and denied any involvement in music production.
The tracers in investigative journalism were on in search of the two youths who brought the world to a standstill but not wanting to be known. The charts were flashing Blaq/Whyt but nothing. The hit song's views hit 11 million record in a two week space. The unavailability of the faces behind the song allowed space for propaganda to roam and soon it was out that there are certain politicians who are busy with the campaign to destabilize certain governments to gain access into them, and that song was actually a test to see if the world will bite, and the result of the experiment is as wished for. And by that circulated info, fake news thrived and the tensions intensified. At one blog there was a statement about a certain anonymous black politician who was quoted as being in support of the song and saying black on black is a shame and that he regrets being born trapped in that skin he's so much ashamed of and hate, a position a lot of fellow brothers and sisters are but not coming out to say it. That sparked rife speculations among the black political landscape.
Then one of the suspected politicians, Ed Bass, who's been adopted by whites was quoted as saying that he cared less anymore how any person thinks about his background because he can't change it. He ended there. One of his supporters got into it and made it more dense. Ed chose to ignore it all and focused on other affairs at hand. His stance gave a chance to one white opposition leader who said: "at times some lesser beings have a problem with bigger beings who remain loyal to their makers, and if you're educated well, will know only too well to shut when the unwell educated air helium instead of pure carbon monoxide" and her name was Rachel Garrington. Her statement fuelled tensions.
To answer one African president responded by saying: "daddy's girl tendency once let loose doesn't care at which level you are, it'll crawl out of you no matter how well educated you are and well behaved you may try to be. RG, put your daddy's girl behaviour on a leash, your head will remind you where you are!" and she said nothing. One Hispanic born again political analyst weighed in on the topic: "during times like these, we need to pause and look at what the aim of the message is all about, whom it is for, and how to respond to it. Titled "Lack of blaq/Less of whyt" is a powerful campaign for saying let's engage one another and redo us anew just as the Almighty wanted it to be from the beginning of our creation." His words were well received by some though brought more debate of what other religions are saying about it and shouldn't be speaking on the banner of generality."

His words were well received by some though brought more debate of what other religions are saying about it and shouldn't be speaking on the banner of generality."
One white famous political fundraiser, Noel Ritchie, said: "they're black and we white, nothing will change that. But what can be changed is how ungrateful they're to us after the good we did for them. We took them out of primitive setup, chained them to their betterment, clothed them and educated them, the mistake we made. Today they think we're their equals because of our hospitality? Lack of blaq/Less of whyt" is a corrective code cut to say lack of black respect on us, lack of black fear on us, lack of black appreciation to us for the good we became for them. If wasn't for us who knows, they could've been still there in the caves we found some of them in. Less of white is for the respect to us, fear we stopped instilling in them and less of whites pure domination we cut to integrate them and still ungrateful. It's a reminder to us about them. This divided the white community the world over.
In the black community it riled anger and one American rapper, EgoStylz, had this to say: "education, don't say shit about education white boy, cos you know that your great grands designed it institutionally to frame the mind of the black race as a conduit from slavery to wage enslavement. Look at how the low esteemed blacks behave in looking down 'pon those with lesser qualification to them. Education is a death hug to my people you mind polluter, just that they won't see it b'cos of the veil of stars you put on their foreheads to blind their third eye, whence I maintain my stance of the line 'white on black' in that song" then in return Noel retaliated by saying: "boy is what I see cleaning my yard for peanuts, and guess what, his pigmentation! That's actually how far we should've gotten you. The very media platforms you push on that, what's that word again,,'hustle' and that's where we come in, and if try me, can switch you off. Think again praise basker!!!" and that got others fly in.
The pedaling debates of racism, religion, gender crimes, tribalism, world control, scientific warfare, media bias, climate change, redlining, and other topics of sort relevance pushed the song's views to 69 million in just a month and 14 million downloads for the period same. A fierce Asian politically exposed business woman, Dhe Nikola, wrote in a daily: "I do to some degree agree to the fact that we need education in order to fight, this from a tweet I read last night. I saw education misspelt as eduction twice in one tweet and I said to myself that whoever gave the world education did good. As for the song, I personally do like it's rhythm, I vibe to it. It's what we need right now, a dialogue on our past to present and going into tomorrow. We'll still need each other because you may think but lack sufficiency of my strength to implement, like in the case of blacks and whites. We complete each other, let's for once agree on that and move on."
But the wheels of education blame came to a screeching halt when one South African journalist, Tudumo Thage, on radio in his 1 hour show pointed out that: "pushing the ink on education helps with an intentional spill on social ills paper to stain the truth, so as to put a veil on the real reason the song exists. Social injustices witnessed all over the world needs to be written in broad daylight for the public to see and decide upon for themselves, not where you allow agents of truth shields to be patted for good work done for their masters. Education is a right not a tool. Let's move to the core pressing issues plaguing the black race today which are access to economic means to afford land to build on, produce from, earn a living from, grow the upcoming generations from, the dignity to real ownership of tangible assets, and their liberty to be. It's about time we ask why hate us so much? This I say with a clear conviction." He had a rough day with callers airing their views, with the conversation having gone online after the show.

Blaq/Whyt never did any interviews or performance shows or even appearance in public until it was reported that they were at some club in Portugal the past night. Fortunately, the club had a CCTV system that they went through to see if they could spot any white guy with a black guy, but no. The news caused a new stir as someone said the manager of the club got paid to hide the evidence as Blaq/Whyt didn't want to be allover the media for wrong reasons, given that they can't be allowed to enter a club at their age. We live in a world of technology and someone followed up on their trail until it was revealed that the real faces behind the sensational hit are in fact a duo of a black boy and a white girl who are an item. Their true ages were 18 for the girl and 19 for the boy.
Blaq/Whyt code was broken, the only one piece to complete the puzzle was their faces in public. They had their first show in England and the stadium was packed to capacity. They had six supporting acts as they had only one song. The show was one of a kind. The technology that was there poked curiosity about it, and those in investigative journalism started sniffing and bang,,,the seal of intelligence was tempered with, and was discovered that 6LMQP bankrolled the movement of the whole stir. Brendge was it's nerve centre. 6LMQP is a quintile league of a bloc of mega multinational corporations that stands for 6 Legalized Mega Quango Powerhouse. Blaq/Whyt is produced by a very interesting Czechian youngling known as Pii YZX at his studio, Xylaria.
Now on 21 million views and 12 million followers, Blaq/Whyt was known. The boyfriend and girlfriend duo are from Budapest, Hungary. The two loves hanging out along the Lake Bokod's floating village tendrils whenever they visit Whyt's uncle who is a fisherman in Bokodi-hutoto. They met on Europe's giant ice rink, Budapest's winter wonderland, Varosligeti Ice Skating Rink, as a result of people laughing at Blaq for failing to skate. She assisted and taught him how to skate. Whyt loved waking up early in winter to watch the two Zambonis used to polish the ice rink. She called the smoothening of the ice rink as polishing because of the mirror shine finish the Zambonis give to the surface.
Whyt's father is a rich radio DJ and studio engineer called, Sandor "Ganga" Dalusz, who's wife is a marketing manager at his friend's company, Abromav Taps. Blaq's father works for a telecom company as a technical support engineer. His job is to maintain network towers and his favourite tower is Sopron TV tower, for its height. It's for him a thrill all the time to go up on it. Blaq's mother is an industrial architect. She made part of the team that was earmarked for the contract of constructing the Monostor Bridge, but due to a minor compliance glitch couldn't bag the job. Blaq never planned on going into music as his love is drawing, a talent easily attributed to his mother. His best drawing by far was the ones of Szent Laszlo Church and the Hungarian Geological Institute. He loves their unique ceramic tile patterns on their roofs.
Whyt has always been into performing arts, and for her parents it's been a natural extension of hers venturing into music, though never believed her when she told them that she's part of the Blaq/Whyt duo the first time she did. It was a shock to them when she showed them a spy pic of her and Blaq in a yacht and on the boat on Danube, both water floaters belonging to Bod Csaba. Bod is a powerful leader in the legal fraternity and business circles. His law firm is Europe's biggest and it's footprint spanning 114 cities in 99 countries of the world. Her parents were not happy about it and couldn't tell her because of fear how she'll react once told. Bod is part of the 6LMQP, and is its second in command to the Serbian serial pvt equity investor, Ja Oviç of Q-Venture, a firm with a portfolio of over a thousand holdings.
The duo arranged for a meet and greet at an art gallery at Balna in Budapest. They over drinks and feasting after the gallery tour, had a lot to talk about art, music, fame, working relationships, and agreed upon being friends as his bosses have given him the mandate for one song only, and that's that. Under the circumstances, they ended there. Pii YZX also said that he's never to appear alongside them in any official appearances. The reason as to why, he never disclosed. They otherwise had a great day except the last part of it, and they later departed. He was flown back to Czechia.
The truth is that Pii YZX got paid a large sum of Koruna to steer clear off the duo's shine. With what he received, he had no reason to be cracking his skull in trying to come up with another sensational hit. He was sadly not enjoying the deal as he did wanted a wonderful working relationship with the duo, but then he shook on it. He's still young and that money won't last him a lifetime, but admittedly a huge step to any start. Blaq/Whyt performed for a fee only a few could match. They performed in stadia and other big venue events, and they never enjoyed their youth ever for the time being. They weren't allowed to do another song. They performed their only hit twice everywhere and out. It was a good 6 months run and got back into studio to do song's they wanted. And on the day of their album release, it was in news that they were broke. Instead of the followers taking note of the release, had to then question them on their financial status and what next from there? The duo had a virtual manager who told them to hang in there and nothing else.
After a week of the hype around the failed independence of Blaq/Whyt to be on their own, something that they also were hearing from the media about them, a new entertainment hub emerged out of nowhere and signed them. The company became an instant saviour and everyone wanted to be signed to it. Blaq/Whyt was a pawn for launches of mega startups. In a matter of 3 months the company was in 23 geographies. They did that with them to run launches of four mega multinational companies and cut them loose after realising that they were no longer relevant. By then the duo wanted nothing to do with the entertainment industry anymore. Blaq went to study architecture and later started his own firm that he had his cousin as a partner for the operations side, and Whyt wrote a book about her journey in the limelight. Her published book became a best-selling book that but never got sold in any store as it was booked for printing yet never collected until the publisher destroyed the copies via a command from the powerful organization.
Whyt thereafter got a contract to provide to an agricultural company, pure Baltic salt for Hungarian Greys under care of that company. The cows are in risk of extinction, and the company had 1 560 of just 3 000 left in the country. They care and auction them on behalf of private owners. Blaq/Whyt separated because of their paths and they were done...dp

Q_what do you think qualified Whyt and Blaq to be the stars they were then? What do you think of the Blaq/Whyt lyrics? Are governments doing enough to address racism? What can be done to save the Hungarian Grey from extinction?

Scenario 147
The plot: the power of psychology in hearsay. How to play back the mind games player.
The 6 o'clock news borne bad news for certain individuals in many sectors. Yin Ho Sahn was getting released from prison for undisclosed reasons, and had the prison manager confirm the heads up a day earlier to the prosecution authority. It didn't take Xiyni Quang time to resign and pack his bags to vacate Haiphong to relocate to Ho Chi Minh City. Together with his colleague Gya Vo, they both saw it better they flee a week before Yin Mai gets out. Xiyni was a prosecutor and Gya a magistrate at the People's court.
Two weeks later, after a week's delay, Yin was released. There was a stampede outside of the prison. Yin loved attention and would do anything to attract it. He jumped onto the roof of a parked car just outside of prison fence for a full hour and media came to interview him but refused to give them his voice. To those who are in know, was a big message of silence to them his debtors. News were dominated by his behavior, as media busy asking the question, "what is the real meaning behind the silence? Does it say we follow him?" It remained to be seen what he meant. It started meaning something when some in the police force resigned in large droves.
A month quietly retired sans any move or reported signs of Yin and in the wake of the dawning month, was like he was with a stunt double as he was reported to be in every corner of the city. He was really visible. Visits were visits to each of the debtors in his books, and a dead Lily stalk wrapped with a tissue written "solei vegam ela monra" in beautiful cursive. It caused a big storm that challenged even the calmest of soles to fear. One morning at the city square the city witnessed one ruthless example of the wrathed soul that they're in co-existence with. They found a notorious thuggery lord hanged with his face written the solei message. The city went dead quiet for a full 4 days. What was stressful to the residents was how the body spent hours before the police could attend to the scene. The message was straight to the thieves that stealing is punishable and he was the new ruler on the street level.
The second message was with a long time wanted rapist. The city woke up to him tied to a tree with a solei message shoved in his dry mouth. The same case as with that thug, the police took their time to arrive at the scene. Now there was a clear message around the hood of his new rules, and they had to adhere. Yin was reclaiming his territories day by day.

The same case as with that thug, the police took their time to arrive at the scene. Now there was a clear message around the hood of his new rules, and they had to adhere. Yin was reclaiming his territories day by day.
Whenever he appeared there was buzz in the space, his presence was felt. Media took many spy pics of him, they were so obsessed with him that he was like the presidential candidate unofficially. He was unavoidable that the president ended up mentioning him in one of his interviews, and that a mistake that took it to the next level. The public started asking about him more. His popularity got the city working as tourism figures were in high volumes. He was the face of the moment to capture, so, he started to be scarce. The good thing about his name was it brought security back as it was safe once again. People walked free at any time of the day without any problems.
After some time off the streets, Yin came back to the scene one midday in some restaurant. There was a change in the owners, and those who used to run it left some time ago without telling them about a debt they had for protection from him. He found a woman who introduced herself as Eme, and Yin told her about the debt and after establishing that the old owner is out he set the new rules with her and that he'll collect from that very point and once every month. Eme hit the roof and said she won't do that. Yin asked her where her man was and she said he's at home. Yin asked if she's got kids and she said two beautiful girls. Luo then asked if she's still not ready to pay so she can go back to them? Eme said they may kiss the back of her head than they were to collect a cent from her.
Yin kept quiet and Luo took over. He was a rough handler unlike Yin. He said to her: "when you go to Hanoi, you must go in as a hero, do you want me to go in a hero ma'm? Are you ready to make me one? Don't be like her."
Luo: "the brave woman who didn't want to vacate the mini hall when a man who yelled giving a clear instruction over the fone for someone troublesome to be killed on the other side, and for them to bring in the sample. Everyone vacated the premises but only one stubborn woman who confused stubbornness to bravery remained to witness. When the assassin walked in with a small blood dripping bag, asked the assassin if it's done and he said yes, and unzipping the bag to pull out the head of someone to put atop the table, then the woman threw up and screamed. The man asked who invited her as audience and ordered the assassin to deal with her, the assassin shot her. The two went to jail as heroes with a story of acclaim to glory that made them untouchables in there. So, don't be confusing stubborn behaviour to heroism woman, be a mother of your children first before that stupidity displayed."
Eme: "what do you want?"
Yin: "thought you heard me first time, Luo deal with her!" And Luo pulled out his scratched pistol and pointed it at her.
Eme: "please spare me, I am..." (A gunshot left the smog and her silenced with none throwing up to show they were attentive)
Yin: "let's collect and be out of here" he said with a calm voice. They got out through the back door and none saw them. It was but known though without proof that it was Yin, just that none will say if they saw him and Luo walk in. The husband to slain Eme was left shattered with their 2 and 6 year olds to look after alone. Days later after the burial, Luo had a brief period with the husband again and he never grew a nerve but agreed. They started collecting.
Weeks went by without anything heard and people were starting to relax again. It was a good time to hit another target. On a fone call to Yin, Luo asked: "boss, is there anything surprising in your plans that I need to know about?"
Yin: "as you well know me, actually there is, but let's not rush to unwrap the pack."
Luo: "I trust you won't be surprised then!"
Yin: "what do you mean? What are you planning behind my back? I demand to know. Since when do you work with surprises Luo?"
Luo: "I learn from the best on how to play it."
Yin: "so, you want to know about my plans with my mother and wife?"
Luo: "okay. Please don't ask me about my relationship plans as well."
Yin: "which relationship, hahaha!!! Don't kill me with laughter. You've got no one but me as your relative, unless there's a manufacturing method I need to know of for such."
Luo: "are you seriously finding pleasure in saying it out that I don't have a family?
Yin: "sorry man, I never thought of that. I'll ask Toà n to do the mission with me."
Luo: "why take it like that. I was just teasing you boss. Forget about that useful for nothing Toà n, I'll do it with you."
Yin: "I know I can count on you. Just that you sounded deeply saddened. But, you know you're my best one. Now, let's pounce on it."
Luo: "will it make Nam know our names great again?"
Yin: "follow my lead, and yolm the quiet storms of Nam."
Luo: "let's do it, I'm all yours!!!"
Yin: "meet me in an hour and see what I've drawn on the table. You'll love it. Later then."
Lou: "okay, on my way to you in 20 flat."
When he arrived he found a t-shirt with a knife on it pinned to some location typed on the paper next to it. It read "Thái Bình province" and Luo laughed as he asked "that's what got us arrested in the first place." Yin kept quiet and nodded. "You want us to go in again? What's the plan this time?" It was the robbery scene that got them busted red-handed and got sentenced. He assured him it's not what he thinks. Yin wanted them to sell themselves out and send the police on a wild goose chase by using a snitch to inform them and they keep their tabs on them and then have a team hitting something somewhere. It did work as the police were of suspicion he might want to retry that score. The dusk twilight saw them grow into darkest of day at its end.
They had a survey of the new target and were sure it'll be a piece of cake if they got a man on the inside. Luo made a few calls and they were a leg up. The gate controller was already in on the mission. They started collecting intel and drawn the first move by dawn. They went straight to Luo's apartment for a day break rest. Waking up they had already 6 messages from their inside man and the name of the owner, and his family, and where he resides. In just 3 days they had gathered enough to make a move, and made Luo in charge of the operation. Luo organized everyone and everything and in just 2 weeks to hit. They paid some mole to sell diversion information. The day they hit the bank's depository depot had just registered 3 mega malls collections and 1 casino collection. They had ₫264 million plus unconfirmed money to get in and take. The gate controller had created a gem device pathway to let it easy for his people to come and out with ease.
The heist went smoothly and what Luo did on their exit was shoot dead the gate controller as he was the immediate link to their trace. The heist news made the talk of town. Next thing, Yin and Luo were nowhere to be found. After a good three months gap, Luo was seen on a bicycle in the inner city looking all cool. All of a sudden the pair of terror was disbanded and Luo was back whilst Yin was in another space living it up in another name. Luo kept on collecting the protection fees alone and but after a while others started defaulting to test his claim that he's still with Yin, and he did nothing to frighten them and word got out that he's alone. Only 3 to 4 or so kept paying with the knowledge that he'll one of the good days show up and hell will break loose.
After 5 months rumours started spreading of sighting of Yin. Luo got surprised when people knocked on his door early in the morning wanting to pay and that he shouldn't tell Yin that they were in arrears. Luo said nothing and kept collecting. After hearing what they feared, Luo acted the same night and hit the fountain's bottom by setting alight the home of the ring leader of the default movement. The next morning it was worse, people were taking out loans to pay before the next arson befell them. He ignored them and went out parading his power while them marching behind him with money in their pockets and hands. He passed by the scene of crime and the police said nothing except salute. The sight of that fueled pleas for payments worse.
One young police officer who was new in town took his time out to follow up on the terror that was holding the city ransom. He never slept and within 11 days discovered that Luo is acting alone after he followed him 4 days in a row and seen how he'd put a fone to the ear pretending to be speaking to Yin to accelerate fright. He then set out to make it his mission to solely solve the residents' thorn. He paid a big newspaper a late visit to ask before everyone about the details of Yin's death and that he was on his way to the police station to hear of a prepared team for the arrest of Luo. He told them that the reason the police feared him was the fact that Yin was a fierce ex-army general's protege and Luo was his spy, as such upsetting him now a danger to state security. The hot scoop was getting saucier by the minute. One reporter asked why he came to them and he said to her that it was because he's used to them breaking news first before others do, and was surprised if the reporter at scene wasn't theirs. He then asked for them to say nothing until he's done with the arrest then he'll inform them.
As he went wearing his uniform it was a sure bet he was talking the real truth. He went out and the reporter didn't waste time and told her editor about what she's heard, and so did her colleague who was behind the wall. They reworked the front page to print the scoop before it was by any other first. They hit print with a bit over double the usual run.
Early birds woke up to the news that Yin's no more and jubilation filled the space as the newspaper had a sister TV channel that has an early morning news slot that discuss its headlines everyday. The news broke records in both viewership and paper readership as the paper sold out in just 2 hours of hitting the stands. Luo was called by a snitch to alert him from inside the police station that there's a team out for him as Yin just got killed in a shoot out with police at an unspecified corner of the country. He didn't waste any time. Trying to escape, Luo ran right into a path of some heavily armed and brave mob who were on their way to his home who then gave chase and caught him. The journalists were already on scene as Luo was kicked and pelted with stones to death.
The reports sent a spine chilling message to Yin and he never thought again of going back home. The death of Luo gave him a serious fright and so was the news of him being reported dead and what'll happen should they know he's not the one dead, knowing he'll be hunted for his head. He kept asking himself who the police killed instead of him in that shootout and where it was as it was never disclosed, and also who the ex army general who lied about him being in military before. He understood those after him will come organized and there'll be no time for talks. The challenge was that the police denied responsibility and knowledge of Yin's death and the alleged shootout. It came out as if they were hiding that truth for fear of accountability and image taint for their brutality. Yin never felt free and safe, and knew laying low won't help and opted on going to Honolulu to start afresh but had no peace living the suitcase life. The police officer who orchestrate the whole story never said anything and the police station remained to date respected in the country for having dealt with a gang that terrorized the people...dp
Q: what's the mistake Yin made to his brand? Was Xiyni and Gya's move justified? Does news publishers verify the source and rumours these days before publishing?

Scenario 146
Kelly Vanos is a passionate potter from Leeds. She used to do pottery with her grandmother at their plot, but her mother wasn't of the same feather as them. Kelly inherited the pottery and gave it a name as there existed only the structure but no name, so she named it Ethincity Pottery. She later registered it as a business.
Her passion was known by all those who had an encounter with her. Ethincity made no mark of progress except taking money out of her pocket, but bearing with it a promise. She attended pottery groups to gain more insights on how to improve and where to go for the market. It took a long time but was all worth it. At one of the career passings she was making she caught attention of one particular potter by the name of Ted Earling, who's from Northern Ireland. Ted runs T E 3Designs, a strong newcomer in production of 3D clay tiles. Kelly had a sister who passed on after a boyfriend out of jealousy killed her and got her buried at a stream nearby her college.
Since then, Kelly vowed to never give her heart to any man no matter how good and loving the person might be. The trauma never left her. Apart from her late sister, Kelly has a brother, Matt, who works at a glassware factory. Both Kelly and Matt are still below 30 years in age. Ted is a direct opposite of Matt, he's into pottery, poetry, country music, average in education, most of things that strikingly are similar to Kelly's. One thing that set them apart though is character traits. Ted is an extrovert while her an introvert. This is what makes Ted better staged than her in business. Ted is 2 years older than her.
Exactly a month of knowing each other, Matt met up with Kelly and Ted at a plaza and spent some bit of time with them. He seemed to have liked him for her as he later called her to ask her about him and how they met. He never did such before and Kelly suddenly was in limbo in terms of availing herself and take a chance with him or not, seeing that her brother already approves. By then Ted never led a conversation down that path. Kelly had a friend of long who have an on and off relationship with, Madeline Palmer, who was too positive about Ted.
What Ted was doing in the process was taking his time to learn Kelly before he can make his move. Kelly in the meantime was learning a lot from Ted on the business front. She adores him and one day he took her to see his pottery before visiting his father. During a verbal exchange with his father, there was touch of a subject so sensitive that got Ted choke, the mention of his mother's visit. It became clear to her that the father read the visit otherwise and ruined her chances if any, of him stating his intention with her. Thing is, Kelly was on a path of healing and having him made it meaningful to have a companion in her life, especially with one who shares a lot of commonities. Ted's father bid them farewell and off they were.
Along the way back Kelly asked him what his father was trying to say when he was asking him about a visit to his mother, and Ted asked her to drop as a topic for another day and she flipped the script altogether. On dropping her off at home he just hinted to her that his mother isn't well and before she could say how sorry she is, said that he'd take her on his next visit if she promise to keep under wraps. She said yes, and he drove off. To Kelly it was clear that whatever the illness is, is a serious thing.
Due to being away too much from her business was a worrying factor to her mother. Kelly's mother ended up developing resentment towards Ted as to her it seemed as if he was there to make her daughter fail. Kelly was aware of that and but knowing it's not the case as she's actually the one who's distracting Ted. On the day of his visit he took her along as promised and when they got there, Kelly was lost for words as they were at an institution for mental health sufferers. Ted asked her to go in first to prep his mother then to come for her later.

Ted asked her to go in first to prep his mother then to come for her later.
After quite a while Ted emerged and took her by the hand and in they went. They got to the tree where she was and joined her under the shade. He introduced her to his mother and they exchanged pleasantries with no glitch or judgement. Kelly was excellent with his mother and responded better than she did to his father as he was cagey most of the time they were there. Ted's mother loved her to the extent of holding them side by side and joked saying: "with the love rested in me I declare you husband and wife. May you live to make each other happy for the rest of your lives together" and they all laughed. It's been long since he's seen his mother that jubilant. And when the visiting time was over, she held onto Ted and winked at him, whispering that she's the one and should hold on to her and take best care of her. And they left. On their way home he took her hand and said: "what's on your mind honestly? I'm worried you're not troubled" and she responded by saying: "to be frank, I didn't expect a mental institution, but your mom made it easier for me to feel at ease. I actually love her, a lot to be honest. But then, why is she committed?"
He told her about how a high profile job she was doing messed her up. She took meds at first to cope but in the end had a breakdown. She was ever working on a new case and had calls after the other that his father in the end felt he was a third wheeler as his wife's calls were mainly from men. His father's jealousy took a toll on his mother as she at the end had two masters to serve and her career was so dear to her, but because of love and commitment she quit. Sad thing was that after she quit his father started cheating on her and that finished her. It was so sad rescuing her twice after trying to commit suicide. That's why he's staying with his grandparents and not with him for the past six years. He's still mad at him for the ill he committed. He's tolerating his father.
Getting home, he proposed to her to be his girlfriend if she doesn't mind, and without haste asked what he'll do if she said 'no'? He laughed and said: "guess I'd go back and cry home alone" and she said yes. It was a test to her in that he said this after the visit and his life story. She knew from that moment he was waiting for the right moment to strike and she was ready for his try. And before they got into that talk she asked him why he's into pottery and he told her it was a solace that he learned from his grandmother. His granddad is an artist, a painter at that. His granddad taught him to paint but his artistic side ran with the flavour from his granny. He loves creating and with pottery he felt at peace and content with his creations. Since then he never stopped.
Kelly felt like that she now knew him and sure of him after all that he had shared with her openly. At the back of her mind she always knew that he was the one for her. The worst was knowing that he got his gift from his grandmother was the most charming thing about him to her. To Kelly, the last question was how did he start in pottery business. It wasn't that easy for him but a lucky break as he had an aunty who's late husband's brother and his son used to run a pottery but decided to sell it privately as it was no longer that profitable, albeit 'thout any offer except one that was just a mockery to them and turned down. After putting it on the market for over eight months he heard about them via his aunt tipping him to go and try his luck with them. He met with them and after hearing of their asking price negotiated for the whole of it with a top up on it if they hand it over with a zero deposit deal and pay a step up premium per quarter for two years, of which to his surprise got a handshake to it, and two and a half years later he's debt free and owning his money spinning business, turning the rest to history. He was proud and confident, and she loved that about him. A bit later he kissed her and drove off.

He was proud and confident, and she loved that about him. A bit later he kissed her and drove off.
Later that night he called his mother to tell her the good news, and she was elated to the point of mentioning how over now it was for her now that he's got someone who'll walk beside him, but he was too happy to even underline that. They had one of the longest calls ever that she even slept in the middle of it before he could hang up. It was a different night with different happenings he cared less to follow up on. A day after he received a call informing him about the passing of his mother. The call was a mood changer for him. It took away all that happiness and pride.
His father was regretful, quiet and lost in the moments currently he was in. Things happened and passed in his presence but wasn't conscious enough to make any sense of anything around him. Day of burial came and they buried her. Ted got the shock of his life when he saw his mother's coffin. Her coffin was of baked clay, made with love by his truly, Kelly. She knows how he loved his mother and together with his grandparents organised that for her. It was one of one and the only in the world. It made the send off a very special memory to everyone who was there.
Days after the funeral people went to his family to enquire about the special coffin and its availability. Ted referred them to Kelly, who told them it was a one-off item that's never planned for production. As it went by, Ted asked for Kelly to take orders for the manufacture of those clay coffins. At first she was reluctant to, but with pressure from him she fell for it. The drawback was now space to manufacture from. Her equipment wasn't as industrial orientated as those of Ted's, and she pleaded with him to take the orders because her kiln is small and that she used T E 3Designs facilities to make that coffin, and Ted gave her a proposition for them to merge. She consulted her family and was a positive move forward for the growth of the business. The two potteries merged and rebranded as Ethincity Designs. With the coffin and the 3D tiles their scent spread more.
The merged had to be streamlined first to know which side does what and the plan worked. In a month they were done with the admin and ready for trading. As they got running the two started being together more and into each other more that they saw the need to stay together. It was evident that they were planning for a lifetime together, but then their backgrounds with the hurt they know can stem out of love failed their reason to be married. They stayed together but never married, and both fell in love with their set up. To them it was never about money or security or anything but purely for the genuine feelings they have for one another and nothing else.
Their cohabitation stirred negative sentiments at first but with time both of their families understood it's not about them but rather about what their children want for their happiness together, and for them that made sense. Ted and Kelly stayed together for nine years and had a boy and a girl aged five and one when they felt it's time to move into the next level of their union. The phobia they had on the idea of love and staying together fell off and then decided to get married. Ted was thirty-six and her thirty-four by then. The wedding ceremony was planned to be a small low-key affair but it wasn't to be as their wedding planner told them they were too big and important for low-key. They got married in front of a big crowd of over one hundred and fifty. It was a busy day.
A few weeks later, Kelly's grandfather passed away and got buried. A month and a day later Ted's father followed suit and too was buried. Sad thing was that his relationship with his son got worse adrift since the passing of his mother and had only himself to blame. The life of the business couple grew stronger and so did the business. Ethincity 3Designs was successful from inside and to anyone else was just a project concern that will never turn one into a millionaire. It gave them just financial security and a comfortable life.

The issue with such type of business owners is the fact that they do it out of love first not for commercial purposes as the success driver. Ted started off well but got derailed by his love for Kelly. On the other side, Kelly to date doesn't know how to run the business as her focus was on the creative process more and same case was with Ted. For them turning £ 1,2 to £ 1.6 million per annum was good enough. They longed for nothing more than just normal country living and in a position of affording whatever that they wanted. A lot didn't get that about them. To them pottery was a way of life. It didn't matter the size of their kilns and dry rooms, as long as they had each other was good enough for them. The Earlings lived like that and were content...dp
Q_Is pottery a profitable business or just a labour of love? To you, what are the signs of a non-scalable business? Why wasn't Ted's father not visiting his wife? What is the fear of getting married called? Do you fancy a lifestyle same as that of the Earlings?

Scenario 145
As a tax consultant, Shawn Attins has been with Tax Copy, an Athens based IWS provider, for a little over 8 years. Shawn loves his job so much that even when offered something on the side he rejects it. His wife, Alinah, is a struggling estate agent who believes in hardwork pays principle. The Attins have two girls to their marriage, Gaelle and Nolin, who are 3⅓ years apart.
Shawn, as a young boy of 12 was abused by his uncle and aunt after his mother's passing and got a girlfriend who helped him. The girlfriend, Zoya Oegf, fended for him and separated from Shawn when her family moved to the other side of town. Zoya played a huge role in the character building of Shawn and he never stop thinking about it and thanking her whenever they meet. Zoya is now a social worker at Huote Care.
Through the help of Zoya's family, Shawn went to varsity to study accountancy, of which he graduated and got even his first break. Because of his tough upbringing, Shawn missed the opportunity of learning interaction skills and as such the pains he was subjected to took space of the lessons he should've taken in. His uncle and aunt made him be the cleaner after his 3 cousins, the one to blame for all the wrong takes in the house, the punching bag whenever his uncle wanted to relieve his anger, his aunt vented out her frustrations on him, he was never at peace. The only peace and love he experienced was when he's at the Oegfs.
At 17, the Oegfs took him in and stayed in the cottage under the pretense of him as a house help. After 4 years with them, the Oegfs decided to move to the other side of town and let Shawn stay at a flat to complete his last year at varsity. He did his degree in record time and was fortunate to have had a great relationship with one of his lecturers who hooked him up with a good job. He loved his job from the very moment he received the honour to this day.
One thing that's Shawn's potential upsetter is his family as it now wants his assistance financially saying he's ungrateful. But, after all that they've done to kill his spirit emotionally, mentally and physically, they continue with the abuse. Shawn is quiet and respectful, and his family exploits that in him. And now, with the bold support of Alinah, he started developing a backbone. Alinah was a strong neck for his head. She allowed him to assist when he can and only where it's necessary to. Shawn's family despised her with their all as she was the best thing that's ever happened to Shawn in a long time.
One day Shawn was on leave and decided to go hang out at the Millennium Mall, and there he met with his high school friend, Peko Saitta, and had an interesting chat about life, future and career, and got swung into the next level of things in his career life. Peko was a team leader at Exohl Realtors. Shawn told him his wife was struggling as a real estate agent and gave him her contact details. The very minute Peko called Alinah and had her interviewed telephonically and even got the job by the end of the call.
Getting home Shawn found Alinah all hyped up and told him about a call she had out of the blue to give her an interview and a job. Shawn said nothing and congratulated her. The next morning she went to meet up with the new boss and had her sign a contract of employment. She had no car to her name and was given one to work with, which was better than that of theirs. Exohl Realtors was a busy name in the premium property market. It was unbelievable for her to be working there.
Alinah started her first week with a bang with two deals closed to break open her opportunity. She was all confident and that quickly got her consumed by arrogance. The commission she made out got her thinking she's on her way to drumming up future market prospects. She started coming back late home and buying children many presents. Alinah was now what Shawn hated in a woman. In a space of less than a year she had already made enough sales to cover the annual take-home pay. By year end she had then added 4 more to declare her the higher earner in the household. Shawn saw that as nothing and continued loving his job in support of his loving wife's job.

By year end she had then added 4 more to declare her the higher earner in the household. Shawn saw that as nothing and continued loving his job in support of his loving wife's job.
A new year came and the situation shown to never improve as Alinah's luck kept on the upward trend paddling q/q. Gaelle and Nolin were growing fast and now missing their mother as they were seeing her less. Money was ruling everything in the world of Alinah. Shawn was used to hurt and with things he was witnessing he sat Alinah down to show her the wrong lane they were embarking on but she wasn't paying attention. A month after Shawn spent two days away from home and was at the Oegfs home to find some emotional healing.
Shawn staying the nights there meant being with Zoya again, and that combined with his downward feelings created a bomb. He found that she was still not attached to anyone and suddenly the rush gave rise to something else both left unattended for long. It was like they had a week's break only. Their connection woke a lying devil that was waiting for the moment to present itself. Shawn had never felt such a strong attractive spirit with Alinah that he ended up swallowed by it and satisfied his wanting. That second night they were alone in the cottage and there being no disturbance, got them do their thing. They were into each other for the entire night.
The following morning they drove out in one car and her parents were not sure if that meant the start of someone's divorce or just friends enjoy each's company. But truth is, both parents were happy though he was still married. The man of the moment went home and was to Alinah obvious that he wasn't any longer interested in her. Alinah had new high society friends who advised her not to beg down for a low earning man. She even went as far as letting him know she's more than ready if he wants out of their marriage.
Alinah was talking money, seeing people as money and everything as something to get a dime out of. They pushed for a few more months and the camel broke its back and decided it was time to move on and filed for divorce as Alinah's wish to set her free. Alinah tried her luck in Peko and he cut her short, reminding her he's her senior and friends with her husband. The next thing Alinah cried rape attempt by Peko and everyone believed her except Shawn and Zoya. Peko after careful consideration chose to give in and walked away from his loved job with regret for having listened to Shawn about taking her in, looking at where he was with her. But one thing good out of the pain Peko endured, he got to get back closer to Shawn and their childhood dream realized of working together when Shawn hooked him up with a sales job.
Shawn settled quick and left Alinah with everything except his car and home office furniture. He moved on to start afresh with Zoya. A 3 and a half years later gap Alinah knocked on the office door of her estranged husband, asking for an apology for her behaviour and wrong choice of new friends. Sad thing was all those friends they had together were still with Shawn and Zoya now in. Shawn had nothing to say except questioning why now. She told him that she just missed what they had, how they were, and the kids too. He asked for their current pictures and talked to her about them instead. Shawn by then was two years into a fulfilling marriage with long timer Zoya. Hearing the latest on his life she lost all hope and recused herself.
Some days later it was revealed to him that Alinah's bank got her into a reeling debt by qualifying her loans she couldn't honour repayments of alone as the loaded man she was promised to her was in fact not available for her as he was married, and those who got her into trouble were no longer by her side and some laughing at her off-ramping to her loving husband, and some ditching her as she might cause them to track off in their marriages. She was left with only one friend.
Feeling for his kids, Shawn made a turn at the bank to make arrangements to aid her with her spiralling debt, only to be met with a revelation that the bank wasn't in the wrong and that she was never committed to her repayment plan, and also that she had other credit providers as well. Calling her he had a confirmation from her. Her high profile friends made her foot bills and the bank financed her for her real estate agency restart. He reminded her that she's not cut out for that world, she's never been disciplined enough on spending. What she should've known was that she was making easier sales due to the big company she was working for, it had nothing to do with her charm or otherwise. Reality hit her when told that. Her new friends lied to her about how good she was and how ready she was to go solo again as she's losing revenue to Exohl, and led her into a debt pit.
She worsened her situation by doing nothing to service the debts and on the verge of losing her home. Shawn told Zoya and she allowed him to assist her for the sake of their kids. She even brought forth a bit to top him up and he appreciated that. He managed to stabilize her financial status. The sad thing unfortunately for him was that she wasn't showing gratitude still whilst on the other hand trying to seduce him to get him back. The foul move left her lost his presence in her life for good. He cut her off and only made debit order arrangements without saying a word to her any longer. Zoya was proud of him and their marriage only got more stronger than ever. He was in that very year promoted to senior manager and Peko a marketing manager. The friends kept on working hard and caring for their loved ones in the home front. Alinah got another man and had a living arrangement with and had Gaelle and Nolin let him know thinking he'll come running but nope...dp
Q_what is an IWS provider? Can you trust an app for your financial reporting? Would you have helped a partner assist a former lover financially like Zoya did? Do you assess your friends?

Scenario 144
Her article published in Bold Moov made her appealing to a whole lot of entities, locally and internationally, and in a space of a week was hearing more news about her making more waves. Her name was searched in high droves and so was her company, and tweets and posts on blogs and social media added to the hype around her.
Kyaw Surakamaya, is a revolutionary vision bearer of note in personal protection aids and equipment. Her martial arts training academy is rated among Myanmar's top 3 in the 1st tier rankings, and the only female owned in the top 15, with the next female coming in at number 18. Kyaw was a very respected figure as such, yet most never got the chance to be next to her as her face wasn't familiar because she feigned popularity, hence she rarely mixed shadows in all domains. Her latest crop list of clients was now top government figures and governments. She was starting to get assignment jobs from affluent bosses in both private and public sectors of late.
Then, one day in an interview on national television said: "I was never a black sheep in my family, but rather a dark horse that they chose to never watch its races until the day it won the championship title, and started praising its jockey still instead of it". Kyaw was answering the question based on why is it that she never appeared in public with a family member or a friend, only her PA. She highlighted the fact that her upbringing wasn't smooth, and that given her chosen field, she was unsupported by her family, hence she too can't be giving them an extended umbrella.
Her fight is constantly about equal opportunities to all and for all genders, and also to abolish gender role stereotyped thinking. She reiterated that she doesn't fight like a man but that she fights differently instead. First woman this and that, not her. She preferred she be differentiated from the rest by age and demographics. She was for that a new media sensation. It was sad to her family for everyone knew they never believed in one of their own and treated her also like an outcast.
Seeing her mileage for her brand because of the coverage she received, a certain politician who did some thorough research on her, court her. As a woman who was with no proper support structure, she fell easy for him. His name, Tun Yin was a favourite among his peers to hold the mayoral position in Bago. He started appearing beside Kyaw all the time and the PA gradually avouched by the background. Tun's political party was slowly on the other hand using her profile for the campaign of her lover.
And during one of his rallies in Bago University, after visiting Aung Hospital, Tun took Kyaw by surprise when he asked her to say something to the audience. Nobody knew she was also in attendance because she was in the backstage. She came out waving and the crowd went biserck in loud roars over her. In her short address said: "A leader makes people feel good, that's where you put your heart. If it doesn't feel good being here now with us, then there's nowhere you're ever going to feel that good. You can see the colour of our good, and can call the name of our good feeling. Here, your voice is heard, your presence counts, your message is clear, your happiness is factored. So, go vote for the candidate that makes it feel good being you. Go put that "X" next to,,,you know who? And the audience shouted Tun. BCAD is my good home, and you too are welcome to be in here with us because it feels good. Thank you in advance, love you all" to cheers. Tun felt the roar of the crowd and knew with her he's got it in the bag. Kyaw's presence and name had an impact on his campaign.
The elections day came and passed, with results announced on the fourth day. It was a joyous feeling to Tun to have secured himself a straight win. He gave Kyaw a call to inform her of the outcomes, and found that she already knew. He asked her out for a drink and she declined, opting rather they cook and eat in.

She preferred she be differentiated from the rest by age and demographics. She was for that a new media sensation. It was sad to her family for everyone knew they never believed in one of their own and treated her also like an outcast.
Seeing her mileage for her brand because of the coverage she received, a certain politician who did some thorough research on her, court her. As a woman who was with no proper support structure, she fell easy for him. His name, Tun Yin was a favourite among his peers to hold the mayoral position in Bago. He started appearing beside Kyaw all the time and the PA gradually avouched by the background. Tun's political party was slowly on the other hand using her profile for the campaign of her lover.
And during one of his rallies in Bago University, after visiting Aung Hospital, Tun took Kyaw by surprise when he asked her to say something to the audience. Nobody knew she was also in attendance because she was in the backstage. She came out waving and the crowd went biserck in loud roars over her. In her short address said: "A leader makes people feel good, that's where you put your heart. If it doesn't feel good being here now with us, then there's nowhere you're ever going to feel that good. You can see the colour of our good, and can call the name of our good feeling. Here, your voice is heard, your presence counts, your message is clear, your happiness is factored. So, go vote for the candidate that makes it feel good being you. Go put that "X" next to,,,you know who? And the audience shouted Tun. BCAD is my good home, and you too are welcome to be in here with us because it feels good. Thank you in advance, love you all" to cheers. Tun felt the roar of the crowd and knew with her he's got it in the bag. Kyaw's presence and name had an impact on his campaign.
The elections day came and passed, with results announced on the fourth day. It was a joyous feeling to Tun to have secured himself a straight win. He gave Kyaw a call to inform her of the outcomes, and found that she already knew. He asked her out for a drink and she declined, opting rather they cook and eat in.
Kyaw was starting to feel used and Tun was aware of that in her and communicated his suspicions. Kyaw was glad she didn't gamble with her repute for nothing. As the mayor, Tun gained power that with he used to advance Kyaw's presence in her company's dealings with the state. He did that by reprofiling Kyaw as the company leader and her board as well was bolstered with two ex officios of state. Kyaw suffered a bit of equity loss but got a serious boost.
Kyaw's company, Surak Industries Ltd had meetings lined up for her with key state organs leaders. She was encouraged to sell Surak Academy so as to create fund chanel for acquisition of a state auctioned Dedix Armour SOC. She sold it to a friend of Tun, who later bought direct stake in Surak Industries, a transaction that made him part owner of Dedix Armour. Not long the national government gave Surak Academy a 20 yr deal to capacitate and train all law enforcement personnel and made it a gateway for also peaceforce security agents to receive training there. The deal was worth billions, and was something that Kyaw was pushing for all this time but missed because of a sale of it for an other opportunity.
Tun got engaged to Kyaw and in no time was starting to socialize with Kyaw now not in his clutches. Slowly Kyaw was in a cloud of regret. Tun was gradually drifting away from her. Then, one day an accountant friend came by to check on her. It was lovely to see her in a long time and they went out together, something that she normally wouldn't do. They went to a low-key hotel restaurant to go relax at. They had fun and later parted ways.
On the way home she thought of something her friend said about some of the nitty things in their conversation about fame being a waste if not gaining you anything. She told her about how she chose to work with the devil she trusted over the devil she knew. She had chosen to partner with a long time rival at school as she knew she's safe with her than someone she knows could sell her at any given time to advance in life. Later that night she studied Tun to see if he would be a devil she can trust or know, and came to a conclusion he's trustworthy. On that night she vowed to marry him and she told him she's ready for marriage. As a welcome surprise, Tun wasted no time and soon arranged for their wedding. In five weeks they were married.
Their marriage wasn't that type you'll be jealous of. The Yins were progressive but for Kyaw it wasn't how she imagined the whole thing was to be. Throughout his tenure as a mayor, Tun helped grow his wife's business into an empire. Surak Industries Ltd was rebranded Surak Yin Armour, and extended its range of offers in its lineup. After his end of term Tun was deployed in legislature and his name buried as he outed limelight.
As time passed Tun became bored in their marriage and had a sidekick. It was for stress relief at first but with time it got to an extent of a serious relationship that saw him skip his nights at his marital home for comfort there at the new woman's apartment in Pyu. Kyaw knew her man was up to no good but trusted he'd get enough and come back fully to her. Surak Yin was growing and kept Kyaw busy off negative vibe from her marriage.
Then one day with Tun's cousin, Kyaw opened up about her fears about their marriage and she said to her: "a husband who's ambition excuses the vision of his wife in his achievement is a danger not only to himself but also his family and its entire generation. And a wife that enters their marital chambers and not know how to open her parliament to convert her defaulter to its commitment is a one woman who deserves no ear to rub." She heard her and stopped whining. Later that night she got her stoves warmed up for the whole night baking, and Tun made no show.
She waited for the day he showed up and showed him a true colour film that got him asking for repeat mode, and she was happy to cater to his wishes. From that night he was back home and playing more in the chambers. Not long an abdominal lump was beginning to swell into a bump. Joy was evident in the household. In months lapsed, a bundle of joy made it into their hands and life was great once again for the two.

In months lapsed, a bundle of joy made it into their hands and life was great once again for the two.
The world of politics is unpredictable and so was the case with Tun's political career. Mid-term his position as member of parliament, an uprising against BCAD saw him and others lose their jobs as the party decided to reinforce with heavy handed cadres and also him losing favour resulting from the report that their company was involved in selling arms to terrorist groups and organisations. BCAD had no other option but to throw him under the bus. Lucky for him, they were thriving though in a few months orders started running dry due to the terrorist groups and organisations association allegations getting thicker smoke in their screens. They were nosediving rapidly to can allow for even a catch of breath. The best decision by then was to close down and sell at a loss.
Kyaw was silently regretting her move to marrying a politician. Their lives were a mess. They took a bold decision to move to another country, and they moved to Taipei in Taiwan for a fresh start. But, prior to moving there, they with the money from the business sale bought a big landmark lodge in Xishi and a car to commute with ease through. And to think that back home they were known and seeing how they are now with none to say anything to was saddening. It took them four months of establishing their ground and found that it wasn't same anymore as they were starting from scratch. But with their profiles, they were soon talk of the business circles as they did things differently from the previous owners of the lodge. Gradually they were noticed.
The primary challenge to both was their lack of business administration cred, it's due to Kyaw having had a business manager who took care of everything and Tun knew only politics. He joined politics at a very tender age, and had his friends watching his interests. Then, one night in the heat of a discussion Tun mentioned the name of the lawyer that was busy with the transaction of her academy sale. She acted cool and started piecing the joints together, and understood that Tun was making money on the side and wasn't open about. What's more painful was the fact that her husband bought her business after advising her of selling it.
Their baby girl was growing and so was the mother's uncalming storm rising inside. Kyaw did her search and within days was certain Tun was the rightful owner of the academy. She then recalled Tun's cousin's words and got to grips of what she actually meant, and called her the very moment. She was fed with a train load of stuff on the truths about her husband. It was sad to hear but she was late, a divorce decree meant a foot into the brink of poverty, and she opted to staying in and deal with her husband. She started noticing small capitals she never spotted, like the fact that her husband has never said "I love you" after their marriage and only "I'm with you" because it's true he wanted her protection not her.
Thing is, Tun was disappointed to know during the gender reveal that he didn't have an heir. He wants a son with all of his soul. That was what could've made him love his wife, but nope. Her life was a mess and living in another country with none to rely on given the things she then knew of her supposed loving husband. It didn't take long for Tun to notice that she's no longer herself towards him. He did nothing'cause he never cared anyway. Kyaw made an arrangement with her brother and had him open a digital virtual voucher account and started buying voucher codes with the account's serial PIN and had him convert them to currency. She did that to get back at him for being a user. She then hired a very beautiful youngling to run their business affairs with full knowledge that Tun will be tempted, and quickly did. Her name was Suhwei, and Kyaw gave her a plan, and she complied.
Suhwei needn't worry about strutting her stuff as Tun secretly sent her nudes and invites for some pvt sessions at a secluded hotel for big payments, of which she obliged. All the payments sent into her account were half hers and half to Kyaw. Kyaw would then take half and transfer half to voucher code. Back home her brother touched not a cent as he was running a business with his brother-in-law and doing well. As planned, in three years he bought a big farm and started producing ethanol.
What Tun didn't know was that Kyaw was well connected, and very much better than he thought she wasn't. She stroke a deal with a long time friend who happens to be her crush. His name, Zhihao Xu, was the chief operating officer of Float8, a Burmese space agency which produce skyrockets. The fuel used in the rockets contain ethanol, and had also been in talks with a Taiwanese alternative fuel manufacturing associate of Zhihao about supplying them should she find a vast wad of land. She dangled a large carrot and a carrot cake deal was struck. She bought a farm five times the size of the one in Burma. Her operation went quietly and unnoticed as the fool of a husband she had was preoccupied with another girl, too, organised by her self.
The day Tun discovered about the farm was when he heard his brother-in-law is in Taiwan for a big celebration with his sister and was uninvited to. They bought an equity in a leading Taiwanese EV OLED manufacturers. The deal also gave them a piece of a neo-alterna synthetic oil producer. The deal was one of the best ever to hit Taiwan as they now were adding ethanol into the oil. Without haste he called Kyaw and demanded she came back immediately home, and with a fickety laugh said: "I'm still busy replacing the academy you stole from me and hung up". That very day Tun packed his luggages and flew out with a note left. He asked her to never follow him wherever he went. Thing was he feared her.
She searched for him and with the second week of his settling in Lithuania had him given a note that she had him sprinkled with a smoke silent poison that none can detect, and will see him die a slow sweet unpainful death in six years. She signed it off by saying: "don't come looking for me for I'll fastforward your death in nine hours flat" and he complied. It took only two years and he died of stress and insanity. He died with a record four thousand consultations made about his imaginary poison scare he fought with doctors for failing to detect it as his time was running out.
To everyone's dismay, there was nothing in his system, just that he scared himself to his death and with all he had wasted on seeking a poison reversal cure for something that was non-existant. Tun had none to pity as he was angry at the world. It was laughable to know that the clever political guru got tricked to death by a green lie he fell for. But then, Kyaw knew that Tun feared him the minute she discovered what she actually wanted with her. Also, over the years, she had ample time to know him better. Tun feared Kyaw because of stories he heard of about her, and breathing close to her was a daily miracle yet his heart skipping with every beat of what she would do to him if she'd get to know what he had been up to in his private space.
Upon his death, Kyaw's family thought she'd come back to her home country but nope, she kept growing her empire with her brother and his brother-in-law. The virtual voucher account was kept active and used to send money home as her brother and his brother-in-law were also based full time in Taiwan. In a year's time Kyaw was romantically involved with her high profile partner, Xan Kao of Xji Electronics, and together they became the new power couple of Taiwan.
Kyaw had some time to reflect and went back to her first love, martial arts training, and she opened her first academy and it wasn't as successful as in Burma. Tun's family was happy when she asked them to run the academy and work with them on some of the programs that they may find challenging. Sad thing was that Tun died intestate. For what Kyaw did for Tun's family, made her remain a favourite to their family as she helped them colour their pain of loss in their own crayon not hers, because she knows it hits each uniquely in their own bubble. She knows it's colder outside of pain but better when inside of it as one. Xij Electronics pushed gradually fair and the power couple failed to grow it to the level they wished for but were content with its progress thus far.
Kyaw was learning fast from her husband and in time got to know the inner workings of the corporate world. She was relying on him until she found another business administrator and things started getting better as she wanted to establish her own profile in Taiwan, and her start was registration of a company to tap into personal protection services as it's her forte. It didn't take long and with the help of her assistant got her off to a better start and she was fired up. In no time her profile was everywhere and her new VIP protection and training was raking it in. Back in Burma, her died flame was rekindled. She was back to where she was and in control once again...dp
Q_in which industry do you think you'd grow if be given a chance? Is it possible to move to another country and make it big? What may have caused Tun's early exit? Do you have someone whom you wish you'd have to grow with?

Scenario 143
Looking good and feeling special is what Thelma Herding specializes in at Imagix Consulting, a branding specialist firm in New York City. She worked there for a good rounded ten years as a branding coach. And today she just got out of an interview with a niche startup dual branding firm in Los Angeles, Caraig P.B Mngmnt. The following day she was hired and already having Hollywood at gales for her name.
Thelma met a man in that very week of arrival who's a steel fabricator at a digital billboards and electronic sign boards making company called Wupdah Med!a. The guy became her boyfriend, and his name is Ravis Gonzaga. Wupdah is a family owned business, headed by Nick Griffin. Nick and Ravis went to the same college and today he's an employer to his former classmate. The two had a very close relationship that saw Ravis quickly ascend to the level of workshop supervisor.
Wupdah was a uniquely marketed brand. One thing funny about its employees was that even them weren't sure of how to pronounce its name as in all of its awareness campaigns there's no calling of its name. The company sold the name not its calling. In ads they used the words "welcum tu ow weld" and then "Wupdah Med!a" appears with a playful 3 seconds humming. It created a dialogue almost everywhere it popped up. It was so clever it caught attention of blockbuster budget decision makers that they soon were the biggest player on the market in the West coast.
Caraig P.B Mngmnt is an Irish firm that is attempting to break into the share of the ever growing pie of the American dream. It's co-founders and not incorporators are Koa Walsh and Pruitt O'Deelly of Dublin in Ireland. The two have been following Thelma for six years and her progress has been attributed to her attention to detail, interpersonal relations skills, willingness to experiment, ideals, and easy to learn from. She was headhunted specifically for the division of personal branding as it's a big market in the US.
Her start was actors and musicians, and one thing good about her was her ethical conduct. Instead of taking away her clientele to the new side, she opted for them referring new clients to her and it worked. In her first month she was with a 13 and more promising to enlist with her. Her next phase was businesspersons and athletes. The bosses were happy with her that they even set-up a programme for personal grooming. That made it big that in month five her division had three juniors.
One day she had a class of personal grooming with business executives after her session with various celebrities, and in the group happened to be the CEO of Wupdah, Nick Griffin. She was learning them on how to spread their scent. She showed how to wear perfume, which points to focus on unlikely but matters areas like the scalp, the back of the ears, under the collar of shirts, etc, that it was interesting for them. There were three others lessons she shared that they all went out with awe and smiles. It was an opener for one-on-one sessions with her.
Nick asked for a one-on-one session with her and she booked him for a week day appointment and he asked for a weekend as that would work for him due to his diary. She was working around clients' diaries. The weekend was still four days to come and parted. One of her new clients was a well-known sports agency boss, Kemit Pomoti, who was impressed after a class on grooming that he booked Thelma for with his eight athletics clients. The challenge was their different code backgrounds, but to her she did it exceptionally well.
She made them understand the value of sponsors to a team, endorsement deals, personal sponsorship deals, connected brandfluence to brandcasting campaigns, mating their personal brands worth to the whole system. They went out knowing the architecture of investment in them as individuals in a team, and how to give back value for the mileage. They didn't know about individual screen time attraction strategies, online life and offline life balance, etc. They were fully blown away. The anthemizing of that session attracted the sports federation and they too booked a session with her for executive branding lessons and other lessons like on-the-minute and after-the-minute reporting, and the likes. They got out respecting her and thankful for their money's worth of an exercise.
The session day with Nick arrived and his wife wasn't told the truth about the session with Thelma, so, he was alone as organized. The session was meant to be for an hour but ended up threefold the time booked for. As it was on a weekend it allowed. They chat about a lot of stuff as he actually just wanted to be close to her. He paid double for the session with the aim of making her look at him in a different light but unfortunately for him she's not there for him in that lane. When the session ended, Nick wanted for her to score him compared to men in her life and she said out of 5 he scored 2. With disgust she read from him, she added to the anger by saying: "Your quality and depth haven't yet made contact with my province of knowledge, unlike with all the men scoring fours and fives in my life" and said goodbye. He was left angered.
With vivid understanding of Thelma's utterances, Nick got jealous of Ravis and became a blank swipe card client to Thelma to spite Ravis but failed as she poured spirit to his lava to make him react by throwing in more. Worse was the time she told him about the weekend away they were planning and Nick gave Ravis a pile of work so he won't make it to that weekend away because of tight datelines. His issue was that he was the best paying client on Thelma's books only to know he wasn't.
He paid for many more sessions but drew a nil i.t.o winning her heart out. Out of anger he obviously aimed his barrel of vengeance directly at Ravis to an extent of demotion that but saw him excel even more still and, to his final straw move to terminate his employment with his company. Jealousy's slimy wickedness a burdensome negative energy. Nick's hot plugs were playable thanks to his foolish and naive behavior. Thelma gave him out-of-the-palm updates that Nick spent his energy following the day to no end on as they weren't true but used on him as an albino owl to go out an catch. She was fueling his infuriation and making him bask in the wrong morning suns.
In their last session Nick became aggressive on contact that Thelma in the end was forced to cancel her availability for him, he was barred. Nick was mad over the fact that Ravis bought another car through a new partnership he's just got into with some new friend of his, and that Thelma moved in with him now, and that it'll improve her social status. She's now dating a businessman. She'd set fake calls and pretend to be talking to him and be saying sweet nothings in response to the caller. She'd step away but not far off to let him easily eavesdrop. Nick was a pet project to her that paid well for its destruction.
After the barring, it didn't take long before he saw a new billboard in a very prime spot that for long he failed to secure the right to erect a billboard at. He went crazy knowing it's Ravis and his partner. The following day he laid a formal complaint that was dismissed in three days as he didn't do so during the open window period provided for. He searched the name online and was surprised to not find Ravis's name attached to the company. He didn't care anymore about the billboard as it wasn't by Ravis and his partner's company.
What Nick didn't realize was the number of clients not returning for business with him. The day he woke to that fact was when the bank wrote to him about his business account being overdrawn and not having anything in it to repay the overdraft, and that come month end they might struggle to pay wages if no funds are deposited into the account. Putting his eyes back to the road was a yesterday's mail posted today, he was off the road. It was painful how on their books he made findings that clients had stopped doing business with him after Ravis left. Trying to call for clients' reviews on their service, he was met with a flush of worn out emotions, some complained about the poor workmanship of late and how they weren't satisfied with returned jobs rates, and so forth. Probing staff about Ravis on his whereabouts, none knew anything, until one once-off client mentioned a new company to him that Nick should look at for customer care and knew that's where Ravis is at.
He searched for its directions online and drove there just after that client left. Once there he found none knowing Ravis and was dumbfounded. It was only two and a half months later and a week after closing shop that Nick spotted Ravis on a site installing a huge 16 x 5 billboard. He stopped with disbelief and instead of going to him, went to one of the men on-site to ask who their boss was and they pointed at some short guy in front of the third crane hoisting the truss structure. He smiled and back into the car and on driving back home.
What Nick didn't ask about was who was doing what for whom, his mistake. One day his estranged wife out of knowing he follows her on all social media platforms, published a status of history in the making. It was a clip of a billboard fitted into the face of a mountain. The company that was doing that was called Gimmick Cranes, and it's Project Manager was none other than Ravis Gonzaga. The same day Gimmick Cranes was trending for all the right reasons. They were erecting a gigantic 16 x 8 m portrait billboard into the belly of Mount Baldy. It was a first and one of a kind in the world. The billboard was specifically commissioned by Thread Communications for the blockbuster film "Voyeur of death".
In their last session Nick became aggressive on contact that Thelma in the end was forced to cancel her availability for him, he was barred. Nick was mad over the fact that Ravis bought another car through a new partnership he's just got into with some new friend of his, and that Thelma moved in with him now, and that it'll improve her social status.

They were erecting a gigantic 16 x 8 m portrait billboard into the belly of Mount Baldy. It was a first and one of a kind in the world. The billboard was specifically commissioned by Thread Communications for the blockbuster film "Voyeur of death".
Cinemas were experiencing high pre-sales ticket bookings because of the billboard hype. Nick was regretful and not sure if he's an owner or a partner or what as he was the one speaking o.b.o Gimmick Cranes. He was dead certain he is as Thelma once blurted that out. In the same week, Nick received a call for an offer to purchase the name and status of Wupdah Med!a. He was quick to question whom the person was and how they got hold of their private line, only to find it was through his cousin, Ralf. He negotiated and agreed on meeting and they met late that very day. He accepted the low offer as he had no choice in that it was the only on the table and his family was elated about it.
A few days later, on the premier of "Voyeur of death", Nick's distant friend called him on his growth after seeing a Wupdah Med!a popshield on one of the mics on the media table during the media brief. Not long a call from his son came in blaming him for having not trusted him enough and sold his company that's now everywhere you watch in news today. His son informed him that he sold their company to two boys below his age and are pushing. The Irish were building an empire and they weren't playing games. Both Gimmick Cranes and Wupdah Med!a were under the same equity company as Caraig P.B Mngmnt, under the stewardship of fathers to sons. The incorporators are the sons who're learning while amassing value by their fathers.
Through Caraig P.B, the sports federation was in a space of months transformed with thanks to Thelma. Thelma built the company and to retain her for life they tailored her remuneration package to let her gain a progression bonus that was on par with the dividend earned by holders of equity, though put on diet a bit but was worth her sweat. The package made her push more and on the other hand her now boyfriend too was receiving matched package that but wasn't morph with benefits as Thelma's.
Nick's jealousy cost him dearly and worse was his relationship with his dearly loved son. Thelma used him to build value around Ravis and worked so well as he was easily riled and lost it all to cement a big title for Ravis at Gimmick and in the heads of the bosses. Day came that Nick met up with Ravis and the level of respect he still showed to him as same intact as the day he saw him. Ravis bought him a take-away meal and told him he's still keen on friendship with him if he's up for it. Nick didn't know what to say, thank you for lunch or for friendship offer? It was sad to witness as he gave him $200 for petrol not knowing on that day he just pawned his car for another retake in business.
Nick swallowed his pride and called Pruitt to ask for a job, only to be told to forward through his son's resume instead. After calling his son to do so, a call from his son came through telling him about starting the following week and asking for his father's car keys as it requires him to be driving as the sole grey denominator hurdle. His son couldn't believe what he was hearing from his daddy that he just pawned his car the previous day. He hurled insults at him telling him how useless and spineless he is, no wonder his mother left him for no other man but relief from the stupidity she was subjected to and that he now has to live a life that leads to the one of failure like he was.
As a successful married businessman he fell and forced for another man's potential wife whom the same man was a friend of his, now because of that lust he is reduced to nothing because of one stupid foul. Life of business is indeed a tough blame to curse with victory. His last cutting edge pain was a late call from his ex-wife slurs along his recovery from his son's rant earlier. She was demanding he pee her her son back. At first it didn't click and the knock sounded closer to home when she broke and cried and dropped after saying that she'll hate him forever for her loss. About to buy airtime to call back, his sister called in asking how could he do that to ruin his son's life to the extent of him taking his own life?
A few days later, on the premier of "Voyeur of death", Nick's distant friend called him on his growth after seeing a Wupdah Med!a popshield on one of the mics on the media table during the media brief. Not long a call from his son came in blaming him for having not trusted him enough and sold his company that's now everywhere you watch in news today. His son informed him that he sold their company to two boys below his age and are pushing. The Irish were building an empire and they weren't playing games. Both Gimmick Cranes and Wupdah Med!a were under the same equity company as Caraig P.B Mngmnt, under the stewardship of fathers to sons. The incorporators are the sons who're learning while amassing value by their fathers.
Through Caraig P.B, the sports federation was in a space of months transformed with thanks to Thelma. Thelma built the company and to retain her for life they tailored her remuneration package to let her gain a progression bonus that was on par with the dividend earned by holders of equity, though put on diet a bit but was worth her sweat. The package made her push more and on the other hand her now boyfriend too was receiving matched package that but wasn't morph with benefits as Thelma's.
Nick's jealousy cost him dearly and worse was his relationship with his dearly loved son. Thelma used him to build value around Ravis and worked so well as he was easily riled and lost it all to cement a big title for Ravis at Gimmick and in the heads of the bosses. Day came that Nick met up with Ravis and the level of respect he still showed to him as same intact as the day he saw him. Ravis bought him a take-away meal and told him he's still keen on friendship with him if he's up for it. Nick didn't know what to say, thank you for lunch or for friendship offer? It was sad to witness as he gave him $200 for petrol not knowing on that day he just pawned his car for another retake in business.
Nick swallowed his pride and called Pruitt to ask for a job, only to be told to forward through his son's resume instead. After calling his son to do so, a call from his son came through telling him about starting the following week and asking for his father's car keys as it requires him to be driving as the sole grey denominator hurdle. His son couldn't believe what he was hearing from his daddy that he just pawned his car the previous day. He hurled insults at him telling him how useless and spineless he is, no wonder his mother left him for no other man but relief from the stupidity she was subjected to and that he now has to live a life that leads to the one of failure like he was.
As a successful married businessman he fell and forced for another man's potential wife whom the same man was a friend of his, now because of that lust he is reduced to nothing because of one stupid foul. Life of business is indeed a tough blame to curse with victory. His last cutting edge pain was a late call from his ex-wife slurs along his recovery from his son's rant earlier. She was demanding he pee her her son back. At first it didn't click and the knock sounded closer to home when she broke and cried and dropped after saying that she'll hate him forever for her loss. About to buy airtime to call back, his sister called in asking how could he do that to ruin his son's life to the extent of him taking his own life?
Nick freezed and lost grip of his phone. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His son committed suicide because of the lost opportunity brought by his decision to pawn his car. The phone rang once more and he picked up to ask where his son's was but his sister asked she read him the note first. It said, "the old selfish bugger sold my only way out of poverty just yesterday and set me up with a finisher, I never want to hear from his engraved flops amore. Best I exit solo out of his sight" and he burst into tears. His sister sealed off the call round off by telling him that: "you're a disgrace brother and I don't know where to go to wash you off my veins!!"
Nick didn't afford his son's funeral, and had no other choice but to use the money he got from pawn proceeds to bury him. It was a sad day. He never recovered from that haunt of the note's words. He sold his house with furniture and booked himself into an old age home. He silently went into the sunset of his chorus with a string discording his strum...dp
Q_was Nick's sister right to say such words to her brother whilst in that state? What is screen time attraction strategy? What's your understanding of personal branding?
Scenario 142
The rain poured from 3:15 p.m until 5:46 p.m, and Zayend had no choice but to stay open for at least 15 more minutes. His brother, Jaleo was still held up in traffic, and not promising to be there before 6:20 p.m. As such, Zayend had to remain open. The Qamuona brothers, Zayend, a business management student, and Jaleo a pharmacist and owner of Q Pharm. He got there just after 6:10 p.m and they closed though still drizzling.
En route home they discussed the agenda of the meeting Jaleo had been attending earlier on the day. His stance gave Zayend a headache, though silently. The problem was for him, the names of quarrel leaders against Q Pharm's sales strategy and business model. It was to him obvious that it's about to go awry not long to come. Fighting with Grandion and VayChem didn't sound right to just think of it, especially Izak Farouk of VayChem. The two pharmacy giants are enjoying a lion's share of the market and aren't in any way willing to let any other player to invade the space.
In their country, the big four pharmacies are Grandion, VayChem, Vida Sana, and Trend Life Pharmacy, and Q Pharm was threatening to add to the numbers to make it big five, something the top two weren't in favour of. Q Pharm had only a mere six outlets to have big players worry, unless there's something they're seeing in it. And in this case it was just like that. Q Pharm had a clinic in-store and sold prescription class medications to the consumers straight from the counter without any doctor's letter. The model made them the market claimants.
The quarrel, especially by the big top two was in relation to that. They lobbied doctors, pharmacist, and pharmaceutical companies to join the fray. There were other industry sidekick allies that they had to make the noise voluminous. But, it did nothing to scare Jaleo. He pushed regardless. One bright Saturday noon on his way to a meeting with a small player in the private healthcare sector, Alpha Cure Clinic, found a street kid next to his car. The young dirty girl held a note in her hand that she gave to him to read with the hope that he'll change his mind, but not. He got in and took off.
Whilst there, he told them about what had transpired and that he wasn't shaken. The healthcare group went slow mo on the deal and but Jaleo kept pushing them for their signatures on the agreement, of which they in the end signed. In the same day, a call was received by Alpha Cure's spokesperson about the shooting of their new partner, Jaleo Qamuona. The caller dropped before he got questioned a lot. It became a bad day in the office for Alpha Cure management.
To ascertain the trueness of that call the spokesperson called Zayend who was shell-shocked to the core as he was right in front of his brother. Secondly, to have such an organization wanting confirmation of such a big fake story is not to be ignored. After hearing that Jaleo was alive and well, the spokesperson apologized for the mischecked verification. Zayend told his brother and but he took it light. Zayend went to Alpha Cure to hear the whole story and it then checked. When news broke out about the death of Jaleo, Zayend was still with the spokesperson who quickly issued a statement to quell the fire caused by the fake news, only to be told to go to his house that very minute.
Upon arrival, Zayend couldn't believe it, he was there lying in a pool of blood. To him it was clear who did it. Armored with a statement to console the nation was the one and only Antonio Fregari of Grandion, the Secretary General of the Association of Healthcare Retailers and Manufacturers (AHRM) live on tv. The sad thing was that Zayend left him to die alone from a hail of bullets whilst he was chasing after a decoy story, he blamed himself. It became clear the caller dropped the bomb before time and should be established whom it was. It took two days to trace the caller but to their surprise was that the info led them to a pensioner who died a few months back.
Jaleo was laid to rest and the following day Zayend was called in by the management of Alpha Cure for a way forward with the agreement they had with Q Pharm. During the meeting it was revealed to him that there's another deal they've signed with a smaller player that they plan on acquiring called El Medico. Alpha Cure wanted to rebrand the clinics in-store Q Pharm as El Medico. Zayend wasn't sure at first of the soft surprise but heard them right and agreed to it. The other surprise was an offer to acquire the whole of Q Pharm. And, given the fact that Zayend had no qualifications to run it properly, he signed on it. It was actually a load off his shoulders.
Alpha Cure kept on and sold selected prescription drugs over the counter and reserved some for prescription only. The move saw the quarrel die down. Bit by bit Alpha Cure experienced growth and had a chain of Q Pharm outlets mushroom here and there. In no time, the number of branches stood at 53, and Alpha Cure Clinic grew its footprint from 14 centres to 21, both brands saw their morph in a space of a year.
Zayend emerged after 15 months with a business consulting firm, ZayQamuona Services. He was struggling and Alpha Cure was in the process of registering a mother company for Alpha Cure Clinic and Q Pharm. They set an appointment with him for consultation and what he set out for them had more logic than the first advise they got. He showed them the best way to grow isn't creating a totally new and different name for the company, but to rebrand via name extension to Alpha Cure Group. The group will house Alpha Cure Clinic and Q Pharm outlets and give them better position in market share.
The board loved the idea and scrapped the process of registering a new name for the group. It didn't take long and Alpha Cure Group was trending with ease and having them saved a lot in terms of cost. They gave him a modest bonus for that. The group recommended him to other companies and he started playing in the B-league instead of the D-league he was in. He established himself from that mid-point and realized growth was a possibility going forth.
After some time Alpha Cure Group went back to him for their growth strategy and as usual Zayend didn't disappoint. He gave them a simple formula, for their clinics to cut referring Alpha Cure Clinic patients to Q Pharm, and to rather create space for Q Pharm inside Alpha Cure Clinics. They did away with dispensary and made way for Q Pharm. Inside in-house Q Pharm there won't be El Medico as it's found in stand-alone Q Pharm outlets.
Then, due to the higher LSM target for Alpha Cure Clinic with Q Pharm in-house, the next logical step to take would be for El Medico standing alone like they found it in its initial startup phase. El Medico would be the lower LSM target audience attendant. It was the best strategy they've had yet by far. By implementing that they experienced phenomenal growth that they've never imagined.
As time passed, Zayend made a turn at one of El Medico outlets and saw a growth opportunity for it. He set an appointment with the group the following day and they asked him in. He showed them that they were missing out on two opportunities for their growth and those were home-based care for the elderly and the disabled, and the second one was to have nurses who'll do house calls for them as well as anyone requesting for it.
Zayend further said that the new opportunity opened a market for cash paying EMS or ambulance services. The titles of staff were also revisited. Doctors were now Medical consultants, and showed them the other surprise opportunity which was for a waiting area health kiosk. The board was smitten by the group's watershed moment. Within months of effecting his strategy they saw a threefold rise in earnings. The Alpha Cure Group saw its cash pile clock an ear blocking $1,4 billion by year five, something they expected by year eight per their projections.
Though still small compared to the market leader, Grandion, which had a balloon market cap of $328,71 billion with its 494 outlets nationwide, Alpha Cure Group was a dwarf that's truly making serious inroads as it was officially sealed as the rounding player at position five in the top tier. By then, Zayend was on the other hand, too, celebrating the $15 million mark thanks to Alpha Cure Group...dp
Q_do you have the guts to fight giants in your industry to your death? Why was an acquisition a relief to Zayend? If you were tasked with the strategy for further growth of Alpha Cure Group, what would it be?
Scenario 141
44th birthday to her came with a bang for her worth. Garrima Zabelofk won 5 of the most prestigious European Construction Industry Awards on the day; the most innovative industrial product design of the year, best plumbing brand of the year, construction industry's employer of the year, industrial designer's designer of the year and the most influential industrial product designer of the decade. She was on top form and focused. Garrima's company, VaccaPlumb, has been the dominant force for 13 years of its 19 years of existence.
Garrima had a very strong plumbing brand with a footprint of Northern Africa, Asia, Mediterranean seaboard states and UAE. Her focus was on entry into Canada, EU, Uncle Sam (USA) and lower SADC, especially Mzansi (SA), as per her profile interview by both Icons magazine and Big Build magazine, after MyCareer blog before awards. Her life was an envy of her former person to many shadows she assumed in build up of present self, and assuring to her it was all worth it. The short Maltese industrial design icon had a very small team of 8 strong minds around her to make things happen. Her chubby warm-hearted and very reserved husband, Troye, was a commuter train driver. He's the reason Garrima does so good with poise and consistency because he balances her. They both chose careers that shied away from the usual Mediterranean triad.
Troye isn't your typical husband material who expects a wife to be everything he's not as he learned to do basic chores with his kids to close the gap when she's not in. He's got good friends too who wished them well and supportive of their set-up. As her entity grew so did her time away from home. It started as part of the programme but in the process showed signs that not all is A-okay in their household without saying anything to each other but sliding deeper and deeper by the day. Garrima was too comfortable in her slipping role of being the household leader and Troye as the head by moral design.
The situation crawled slowly into the state of their marriage recession when he couldn't take it no more. Troye wanted a break and asked for a transfer at work to another country and he was posted to Belarus. At first it was okay to Garrima but as time went on she realized she missed her husband and was retracing some of the steps she took and, gave him an all-clear frank video call to discuss their marriage. The core of her conversation was on the threat of a wedge between them that she's realizing. Troye as usual was evasive in the beginning but after an hour came back in strong. He mentioned that the main threat to their marriage was Garrima self by her conduct.
Garrima was a defensive tackler in chats and this time around she was different, a sign of wanting to rebuild their marriage. He told her that she appears with some boy in all her pics and she never cared to explain to him who he was and how of importance he was to her. She quickly got it her husband was insecure than jealous, and promised to remove him as head of communications after telling him what he does. Troye demanded to know his name in full and also that she learn to delegate some of her work to focus on their kids and other family related matters. She knew it wasn't that, he used it to avoid the real issue which was her too much time away from them.
And for the first time ever in their years together, Garrima acknowledged her husband's role in her success and that she was no longer that same apart from him. She even offered a portion of the business to have him come back and be with her but he told her he'll only be in the way than be useful. He too admitted that he was missing his wife so much and life not same apart. Growth at times not good if put your all in it without balance, she confessed. She promised him creme brulee upon arrival before bidding him sayonara and back to running VaccaPlumb. Garrima was obviously happy since it was Friday the following day.
Troye arrived on Friday evening to find his whole family waiting for him for a change, something he hadn't seen in a long time. The hugs felt so truer than any he's had back there. They had a meal as a family and the night was full of kisses and hugs. The following morning Troye made a mysterious call to someone who was too loud you could clearly hear her when next to the phone holder. The last thing audible was "welcome to Bloktrane" and upon phone drop kissed Garrim and said he's back.
He was offered a position in another big company that but wants him as a cruiser train's captain. He was excited for the salary as it was 18% above the current, and that he would be home again. On the first of the following month he started. Training was for only two days, so, it was quick to get to work. This job came in just at the right time in that Garrima could be on board on some trips with him and joy the thrill, which was good for their time spent together. VaccaPlumb was starting to see less of her as she took free vacation trips with Troye. Liechtenstein in 6 months was showing signs of strength while on the side of Estonia the odds weren't that good as the reception was lukewarm due to the market hostility. VaccaPlumb took long to make a dent, and that came with a shocking price tag which by any calculus would still highlight the high cost on return, thus going to take long to realize their ROI.
VaccaPlumb grew from strength to strength over time, and then a big reveal that threatened her business came riding on the back of the very young man Troye complained about. His name, Rian Petzo, who was appointed as the COO for EU and he abused his power of influence by hiring girls after one-on-one sessions. Some did as told and got jobs. Those who didn't comply reported the scandal to the media and soon it was allover the news and dubbed as the VaccaPlumb "sex-for-jobs" scandal.
The news tainted the brand VaccaPlumb to a point that other territories started to question its placement criterion in their countries, and was valid. Boycotting the brand's outlets spiraled overnight and the brand's spokesperson failed to represent the company well as she did bad in her media addresses. Garrima herself, out of desperation, started addressing the media but was a bit late. She turned to Troye for a solution and he called the ambassador to directly request for a way out of the blanketed storm. The diplomat frankly told him if only he was a DRO for VaccaPlumb but not, reason being his approach to the saga, something those in that season not eyeing as a solution. He sent his best regards and simultaneously forwarded his recorded telecon to his wife.
The saga was politicized in all other territories so she had no time to prepare for any miraculous way out except being spontaneous in her decision making. She suggested an appointment of DRO to her husband immediately. Troye understood it's out of desperation, accepted to do it on ad hoc basis. Troye went back to the diplomat and reintroduce himself anew as the company's adhocrat. The ambassador engaged him accordingly and invited him over. He created an excuse from work and he met with him and other political figures to find a permanent solution. The resolution was out and the saga was quelled through a senior political female figure for a measly fee.
She had a friend of hers involved who's entity consults on such matters, and they issued a statement o.b.o VaccaPlumb and instantly the saga died steam in a matter of hours. The same message was rallied across to other territories and had none reason against it as the nip solution came out of the epicenter territory. It took Garrima's impromptu decision to find a permanent solution. She thanked Troye and pleaded with him to quit his job and join her in VaccaPlumb but still not into that. He was glad he helped and recommended she appointed someone more experienced than him to be their DRO. The following day he was back to his job.
Rian was shown the door and registered in the SOR (sexual offenders register) the very same day as promised in the made statement. The next week dawned with headlines that he was involved in a car accident and died on the scene. To date still a mystery as to whether he did on purpose or was indeed a genuinely occurred one, but now that he ain't around to answer for himself had to just rule it as just that, an accident.
VaccaPlumb did appoint a seasoned DRO and from that saga worked on forcefully strengthening its policy on different fronts. The politician they appointed was approved by Troye with a nod from the ambassador himself so relations be eased for her. Troye got a promotion after it was publicized that he's married to VaccaPlumb founder and CEO. He was a corporate bait especially when in factor of the close relationship he has with the ambassador and other diplomats and political figures. Due to his love for serving, he occasionally still joined in on some trips to touch base with patrons. He was a catch too fat to let slip away so they took care of him and his loyalty rewarded handsomely...dp
Q_do you think Troye rejects the offer out of jealousy or fact? Your reason being? Is it important to win industry specific awards, and how? What do you like or hate about Bloktrane management and why?
Scenario 140
An hour in a strip club and a curiously tacit inductor conversation, Vikal Astuti from Surabaya in Indonesia, got tempted to go back and ask probing questions to one of the strip teasers. He was stricken by the boom that in many parts of Indonesia still considered taboo. His mind never stopped circling round the idea. Some days later he indeed went back alone and made contact with both gender of dancers. It was a futile exercise as they revealed nothing, citing trade secrets.
He didn't stop there, his mission hoisted him to adult shops on his second half. He had a pretty engaging chat with an open customer in-store and a seconder chat at the counter with two shop assistants. He was referred to adult entertainers for further information, of which he did. Vikal was slowly warming up to the idea of developing a range of unisex mons pubis care. It was growing with possibilities on him. Though took long to gather all the data to ponder on, but was to him invaluable. He was halfway to his goal.
To finance the startup he planned a slash fund that'll claw in on his main business account to create a ringfence to raise the necessary capital. Going in on it Vikal quickly realized his butchery chain won't have the capacity to pull it on its own, and started searching for product research and development partners. With a short search of three days he found an Albanian lab assistant, Caleb Ellis of Provect Lab, who was keen on being a party to the project. The Albanian was qualified for the task. They met and agreed on essential working terms. During the mid of their conversation, he was salivating over the citing of a group of women who're selling perfume ingredients in Mullewa. He wasted no time and drove there to meet with them. Within a day he bought rights to their co-operative's ingredients and was back to Albany the following day.
With the aromatic ingredients secured, the now inseparable partners met daily for updates on progress. Caleb was coming up with different blends to be decided upon. The resources used for product research, development and testing were in secret and the project was carried out during lunch and breaks.
It took only four months to get the blends right. The next step was certifying of their blends as safe for use with regulatory authorities and later affiliations done with. What was left was the name of their brand and its variant product range.
After a good six days of back and forth between thoughts they agreed on names of their range. It was a penile and vaginal cleaner, penile and vaginal shampoo, and a pubic lotion. Vikal gave the brand its name and it was Upac which was short for Unisex Pubic Area Care. Unsatisfied Caleb understood that the best people for this are creatives, and he roped in an ex-neighbours' daughter, Tia Mosley. Tia worked on the brand from scratch and in the process dropped out of school to focus all her energy and attention to it. She even saw a gap in the process to be a service provider and not a freelance creative anymore. She founded in the process, her firm, Creatia.
Tia through Creatia sourced other dropout creatives to work with on the account. In five months the new brand was market ready. She did good in that she kept the clients in the loop and involved. They both learned from each other that Vikal set another assignment for them for his butchery chain after realizing the vitality of creative industry input into the success of a brand. It took some serious beatings and passionate disagreements but saw that it was all worth it. Vikal's business manager arranged for market establishment with Creatia alongside him to prep for the launch of u.m.p with the tagline "unisex mons pubis".
Investment was sought and in no time it took off with a three week teaser prior to the launch, a website launched with the teasers succeeding the other to the date of launch, it was exciting to witness and so was the case with Vikal and Caleb. Supply and wholesale agreement deals done away with and recruitment process underway through labour outsourcing partner, TruWorks.
On the last week prior to launch, a blog was launched together with social media handles to help hype up the course of the campaign. On the launch, an advert was an opener to kick start it all. On the stand was u.m.p's Bodyscape shaving cream, Bodyscape penis + vagina cleaner, Bodyscape penis+ vagina roll-on perfume and Bodyscape pubic shampoo. The faux fur packaging was also spot on, fresh, industry's only and upmarket, exclusively designed for them by Pesingh Thots. Due to Covid regulations only media and influencers made flesh appearances. The virtual launch was a huge success. The blog was clogged with comments and orders which were rerouted to the website. It was crazy to even have a brandfluencer as Onell Kemp of Yimpy, a famous 700 000 a week views free-sex advocate vlogger.
In an interview preceding the launch, the co-founders appeared on Yimpy and the staff at Provect Lab liked and shared the episode about their journey to where they now were. One Provect Lab's executive's proud daughter shared it on her father's handles sans him knowing and his peer execs including ddwebbtel's Director of Research & Applied Development (RAD) liked and shared it too thinking it was him. He was surprised when he later on at home after work when opening his phone that he was bombarded by a flood of notifications beeping. He didn't get it because on that day he forgot it at home and instead used his company's ddwebbfone. He was using the flagship ddwebbfone shape 7.
Before opening the first notification a call came in from the CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) asking him if he's an investor in it or having given consent to the usage in part or in full of their facilities to the swashbuckling he so proudly endorsed. With no words, asked to revert to her in a minute. He was awash with astounding reviews for his like and shared comment on Bodyscape range. The comment read: "Wow, what a fantastic product. Tried the sample with scepticism but got the best experience ever. I love it. Big up u.m.p".
The products by u.m.p were flying off the shelves and Yimpy in just hours raked in an added 147 000 new followers because of that. He called his daughter to find clarification on what really went down and she told him, and asked she write that down on paper and give it to him in the morning at home or work en route to school. She did and closed it with an apology, but the damage was already done. Provect Lab's CLO (Chief Legal Officer) was already on course to engage u.m.p's legal team for unlawful usage of their resources. They questioned the involvement of their full-time employee, his moonlighting and wanted to sue for a cut in proceeds and for usage of their resources.
Media caught the whiff of that developing story after a call to his dear daughter at school, and ran amok with it. It worsened the situation as it became clear his side of the fence he was. The Director of Research (DoR) was suspended the very minute it was reported that the media made contact with the lab's spokesperson for her comment. Caleb tendered his resignation letter after emergence of the scandal. He went to the suspended DoR to offer him a position in the company though he'll be earning a holed cent for the coming three months. He accepted on the go and called the HRD (Human Resources Director) to inform him of his new status. The following day he was on Yimpy to tell his side of the story and also thanking his first-born daughter for the opportunity she had created for him accidentally.
The two companies settled out of court and the nitty gritties of their terms of settlement never disclosed. u.m.p made significant inroads into many a vanity bag globally as it added its last product in the puzzle, the controversial Bodyscape anal puff, which instantly became a hit and cemented their position as the best sold adult care brand globally...dp
Q_would you've invested into such a crazy idea had you been approached in its inception? Was lab assistant justified in roping the suspended executive? Was Tia going to establish a firm hadn't it been for u.mp? Would you buy Bodyscape products?
Scenario 139
It’s been 8 and a half years since Krisp/n/Fress saw
the light of day under the capable stewardship of its 2 incorporators, Yuri
Pertinas (Yuri P) and Diego Ramito Rizzo, both of San Jose in Costa Rica. The
Ticos duo met through a train accident at the hospital they were treated at.
They explained to each other where they were heading after a complaint by
Ramito that the service was too slow and he wanted to go submit his loan
application as it was due on that day. The conversation took them to the level
of organizing transportation to take him there so he make his deadline. He made
it and since then he never separated from his important new found friend, Yuri
P.
Ramito was the serious one of the duo, and the one
to hate as he was following through all the time without shame and favour. His
dedication shone through over and over. It took 6 years to have their store be
profitable thanks to him. As the business’ head, he could easily mistakenly be
thought to be the older of the 2 and also the majority owner, whereas Yuri was
2 years senior and the equal partner to him. What Yuri was good with though,
was bringing in business as he was a charming freak that girls fought over all
the time. He was a real lady’s man.
In year 7, Yuri introduced Ramito to a shy lanky
belle named Sarina Rodriquez, who was a huge fan of their Ceviche. She only
admitted to meeting Ramito because she was under the impression that he was a
cook since she was lied to by Yuri, but Ramito cleared that upon her first
instance of mentioning that and it made her fall for him because he was
different to his friend and partner. She too made it clear to Ramito that she
never had the hots for Yuri and that she knew him via his cousin from Cartago.
Her last confession was her undying love for their signature dish.
Sarina and Ramito dated for nearly 17 months and on
the 19th month got married sans an engagement first, citing he knew
from their first time together that they’ll be together forever. They set the
date for the long weekend knowing there’ll be many celebrations and people
won’t be many in attendance, only to shock them that they even flouted the
townhall regulations. During the sermon the pastor said something astonishing
about love, saying: “when I look at all of you, I see balloons of different
colours and sizes”, which made all giggle with attentive eagerness of
what’s to follow. He continued on to say: “I know it’s laughable. This man
in front of you is a familiar figure in business circles. As a business person
he’s marrying the second love of his life which is this lovely woman beside
him, thus giving me two balloons on him”, of which this time no laughs
heard. He further said: “if I were to give each of you a balloon to blow,
they won’t be of same size. So, if one blows it low to the size of a soccer
ball and the other blows it to the size of an Elephant,,,and you both cover
them with your bodies, and I come to abruptly deflate them,,who will fall
hardest?” and all said the one with the bigger balloon. That prompted him
to ask, “don’t you think it is same with love, commitment and selflessness?”
Proceeding on he remarked: “your love for each
other is not of same size and only you two can answer which size for the other
is”. He also said to him: “as a business person of calibre you are, with
your partner in business, who’s got the bigger balloon than the other?”
Still with his face expressing astonishment, the pastor turned to attendants
and said: “love knows no age, knows no colour, knows no unlimited conditions
and,,,,,,,,,,also fears you falling out of it”. Shaking his head, he
further continued by saying that: “it is at most fearful of material worth
mated to your loved one, for love is simple and assuring, open for all to take
and experience abundantly; but us love things before loving love we have to
give unto selves and others needing it from us”. With glimpse of tears
noticeable only by proximity, he closed by saying that: “l ask myself all
the time how big is mine to my loved ones compared to the things I dearly love
and behold? I’m constantly afraid to see what colour that mine is?” and he
closed the sermon by blessing the union and everyone in attendance. After the
day’s proceedings, on his way to the airport for their honeymoon, Ramito pulled
Yuri to the side to ask him how big is his balloon in their partnership. Still
puzzled, told him to not answer then as he’ll talk when he’s back from the
honeymoon. With such words, Yuri didn’t know how to react and went home
straight away with his head bigger than his friend’s joyous moment.
Their honeymoon lasted 4 days and they were back
because he didn’t want to take too long away as he feared many things could go
wrong in his absence. Now Sarina Rizzo, she was different and more assertive
than before. What Yuri didn’t know about Sarina was that she was an economics
graduate who worked at Vagaz Mora Quesada LLC, as an Investment Validation
Consultant. She was busy scrubbing the acumen of her man as they were planning
their future together, and now applying lessons protector on him as she seemed
vivid about to be hands-on in Krisp/n/Fress. Yuri was seeing that and starting
to get jealous as he was the one who introduced her to Ramito. He realized
later on that the woman was an asset that he tossed away and his friend and
partner fully embraced.
Seeing that 3 days passed and no talk of the
exclamation he left him hung on being entertained, Yuri requested for a minute
with Ramito to give him his answer on the balloon question. Ramito turned and
looked away, showing it’s no longer important to him, and asked if they could
chuck it. With Yuri asking why, he said it’s because he more than balanced him
with the best helium ever, and he pat him. It remained nonsensical to Yuri, but
tucked it in and moved on it. After a day on a Saturday morning he asked him
again if his answer was final about the balloon issue, and he laughed in say
saying that: “I’m ecstatic and over the moon. My balloon is up there with
hers. Glad that even if be deflated, we’ve got each other and your back as our
cushion. I love you man, for bringing me the oxygen I so long searched for but
couldn’t replace in helium I pumped into many balloons I tried out”. Yuri
then got it that Ramito was formally introducing to him the idea of his
bringing into the fold his wife, as he continued further to say: “when you
find yours, it’ll be welcome same if your back be still strong enough for our
weight”. Yuri had no choice but accept the upcoming tide. Sad was how
powerless he felt yet couldn’t say or do a thing because he knew it’s a
different calabash to drink from going forth. Ramito was for him, slippery yet
gripped by the flowing waters that permeates the rocks of actuality.
And, because of her full-time job, Sarina helped
only with financial aspects of the business and drafting of proposals for
expansion of Krisp/n/Fress. The fortunes that followed the decision to be with
his wife were far greater than when they were less her. All the daily lessons
from her wife were paying off. Ramito was a self-taught businessman and with
his wife arming him with corporate insights it made him a marvel transformation
to witness in person as he took on big industry figures and saw them running to
their giant player brothers and sisters. He was rising and gradually felt by
those in his way. Trouble with his meteoric rise was the down slope his partner
was on unstoppably. Yuri was a lost element in the corporate world, he just
couldn’t handle its jargon and people, and was evident in how he avoided
appointments with some industry figures.
The challenges of growth were too real and coming
with a rolling wave that was lightning fast for his grasp of anything seriously
business that it was starting to become a bore for him running a business. What
he always dreamt about was now taking a shape that proved unwanted for him as
it felt like was designed to push him out in destine. He bided his time and
they were successful in securing expansion finance that made it possible to
have 2 new eateries in busy streets of San Jose’s CBD. Immediately after that,
Yuri decided to pull the plug on his commercial ties with Ramito and his wife.
Ramito and Yuri settled on his taking their first store and running it. The
issue with the new eateries was that they weren’t their own, they were tenants
unlike with the first one which was fully owned by them. Sarina and Ramito
worked thrice as hard to cover as they had no comfort of subsidised rentals by
the main outlet.
Nevertheless, the husband and wife team did wonders
that stroke the appetite of the investors. Their investor partners surprised
them when they invested a whopping CRC265 million to open 8 more new outlets
and due to their split, had the Krisp/n/Fress name changed in favour of the new
one, A comer! To the investors it was simpler and more scalable in their
territory as they had no plans to go beyond the Americas. The rebranded eatery
outlets got its seats and benches weighed on by patrons. With 10 eatery outlets
there was no way they wouldn’t be happy, more especially after Sarina announced
her resignation from Vagaz Mora Quesada to come full-time under the banner of
PUra VIda Holdings.
A year later after having not met after their split,
Yuri met up with Sarina and congratulated him on a wise decision he made of
pulling out of the partnership. Asking her why, she said: “You were never a
match for my husband and wouldn’t have been a fit for the vision I had for your
business, and thanks you got out with something and left us gasping with
rentals whilst you had enough vents in your corner”. With a smug he said
sorry and thanked her for pushing him out while his friend saw nothing, but she
said they’re coping and doing better than fine, which prompted him to ask what
they’re up to. She said they’re at A comer! and he probed for more.
After hearing that they’re part owners of the brand, Yuri fell down with
collapsing jealousy and regret. Sarina called on a paramedic friend to
resuscitate him. Waking up, he stoop up and ran like a lunatic into vanish,
leaving her puzzled, but together with the crowd gathered laughed and diverged.
Getting home she narrated the whole episode to
Ramito’s astonishment. He instantly called him albeit no answer. Later after
several moments a response was received via text that they should play away
from her man. Still astound, a call from Yuri’s line came in but with a woman
reprimanding him to stop calling or harassing her man. Ramito apologized and
dropped her. The following day there was a rumour making rounds that the Rizzos
stole a company belonging to Yuri. The investors called them to dig out the
trueness in that rumour only to at once instruct their lawyers to draft a
letter to Yuri to cease what he’s doing. The very minute Yuri received the
letter, he called Ramito to ask he drop the lawsuit and that he will dump the
evil witch that’s trying to build a wedge between them. Ramito requested he
wrote a letter to that effect and he did via email, and the matter settled.
Yuri was regretful for having listened to his
girlfriend who almost landed him in hot waters. Yuri extended an invite to
Ramito at Krisp/n/Fress for lunch, and he went. They ate together and rekindled
their relationship, with him promising Ramito that his back is back to being
strong for him and his wife, and that he then realized his balloon was a fist
size unlike with that of him that was an Elephant’s size. They joyed each’s
company and when they departed, shook Ramito’s hand firmly and long enogh to
arouse suspicion that something nasty was about to come up.
The following morning Ramito woke up to a call at
5:51 a.m by the men of law from Mission Street to ask him to come to the police
station. Rushing there on the radio he hears of the brutal murder of a
businesswoman by a high flying businessman Yuri Rizzo, and that he’s being
detained. He got there, told he’s being wanted by Yuri and allowed in. He said
to him: “I asked for you here because I have done something right but wrong.
I stabbed Alana Jimenez to death. She couldn’t be like Sarina and she was evil.
I had to just get rid of her. Look how apart we were since I secretly dated
her, and sorry I went behind your back on her, and but realized later how a
badly toxic helium she was. Thanks for the lunch we had yesterday. Thought you
won’t make it but proved me wrong. You balanced my balloon of doubt on you. I
envy you, and thanks for having shown me your love unconditionally despite all
my wrongs all those years. I guess this is my goodbye, dear good friend.
There’ll be none ever like you where I now am heading”. With tears in his
eyes, Ramito took out his phone and called his lawyer, but Yuri said: “You
don’t get me. I don’t want out of here. I’m going to die in here, that’s my
fate. Thanks,,,just go home and forget about me. There’s nothing to go back to
out there for me. Goodbye, I’m tired of living,,please understand. You’ve
helped me too much many times over.” Ramito shook his hand and left with a
heavy heart and an aching head.
A week later it emerged that Yuri wasn’t the owner
of Krisp/n/Fress and the brother to the slain girlfriend, Alana, was actually
the rightful owner. What transpired, nobody tells. In 2 months Yuri P was
sentenced to life imprisonment and that was the last time Ramito heard a thing
about him. As for A comer!, everything was on the bell. It took
21 months and the investors recapped A comer! with the commission
realized from another investment and opened 5 more outlets. They were growing
at a rapid pace and the investors were merely answering to the call of demand
expressed by their patrons. With 25% stake, the Rizzos were never regretful as
there was no way they’d have made it to that level sans them and owing to keep
working hard with no plans of doing any other thing except this. The only
current challenge was the emergence of Covid-19 as it threatened to erode
value...dp
Q_what
was your most astonishing sermon at a wedding ceremony that you’ve ever heard?
What do you think happened to Krisp/n/Fress ownership? Can jealousy make you
faint? How bad does the pandemic affect your business operations or economic
activity in your market?
Scenario 138
Her name was called in next after it was announced she’s the only female to graduate summa cum laude. Jolyn de Ugabrela was also the youngest in her class. During the group photo she was already eyed by 6 company representatives all vying for her signature with their organization. She remained calm and one by one heard them and told them to speak to her brother for imprimatur. The next day she was to go unwrap her thoughts to the panel of her brother’s choice and see how dusted her sun is. Jolyn was appointed for the position of Junior Innovation Officer at E.Lumina, an elctronics company in her home city of Montevideo in Uruguay.
She was there for 5 weeks and already the bosses were aware of her impact. E.Lumina was in the process of releasing an ultra-high definition smart television and she asked they mention “the next chapter in television future is here, and is with us” as a dragoon statement to entice and impel a following prior to the launch, but nothing was said. On the day of launch the Innovation Officer (IO) elected to say nothing still and Jolyn was disappointed, yet couldn’t do a thing. Time went by and the CIO, Didioda “Didi” Iscariota, stepped into the hub to attend a brainstorming session and picked up a bad vibe coming from the IO towards his junior that he even asked for a favour from HR for Jolyn’s contact details. He called her and asked for her idea map on the television she was proposing they build. Jolyn wasn’t trusting at first and later saw that her senior boss was seeing what she was seeing, and came round to hearing him out.
After hearing her, Didi made an appoinment with the IO to find out what really spooks him when it comes to his junior. From the conversation Didi concluded that it was pure insecurity at play that made him behave in that fashion. On the backdrop of their caucus, Didi wrote a letter to the IO to instruct him to start recording their brainstorming sessions and have the IO share them with him for his review. Truth was, Didi was taking keen interest in Jolyn and her unorthodox approach to ideas and concepts. Her thinking was way out and far beyond supreme of the team she was in, and the IO was feeling the heat hence he was shutting her every chance he got by saying all her ideas were undoable.
One day when reviewing some particular session, Didi stumbled upon an idea that was phenomenal that he instantly called the CEO to have him sit over it and pick his brain on. The CEO went thrill crazy over the idea and wanted to hear the whole idea in person from Jolyn. Didi called Jolyn on the spot and summoned her to come to his office, and she did. The 3 went over her idea behind rolled glass wall blinds, and the more they heard her the more they felt they are wasting her time as junior IO more so as she handed them her idea map she earlier promised to Didi. They assigned her immediately to take charge of that project and with her as the team leader and to report directly to both the CIO and the CEO. Jolyn started working on it and soon it was taking shape. To make it hush-hush, she worked with experienced interns on freelance basis. She also connected with key R&D personnel to shape it further for take off. The 3 had countless random briefings on updates and in 11 weeks the prototype was unveiled to the bosses, whom were elated with the end result. They tested it and it exceeded their expectations, they were congenial with the product so much that they wanted it to go to the market before patency, and but with some grounding advise chose to file the application first then proceed.
In just 3 weeks, production ready prototype was signed off for production and launch. The market wasn’t ready for it. E.Lumina threw non-visual teasers into the space and created a market fray. The media had their tongues wagging with the upcoming 128K tru-Vision hyper-smart television that made the much hyped headliner 16K television seem like old news. They frustrated the rivals as they hadn’t seen it coming until it was revealed via teasers that something evolutionary was coming to disrupt the market. And indeed, there was chaos on launch day. The launch was the most attended ever in the history of the brand and the entire industry.
Upon unveiling, it was revealed via a spec sheet that the new hyper television had a 4TB memory bank on-board (UltraDensityDrive), a 96GB RAM, a v-FDMI portplug with a VR projector for VR gaming and viewing mode, a virtual remote, the screen senses your voice and communicate with you, face recognition for stand-by mode or activation, has a motion sensor that reads signs for channel selection and volume ctrl, screen auto rotates and connects with viewers via (hologram NIMBUS). With the hologram NIMBUS feature, which shook everyone, the viewer can actually by hand or any body part feel any activity in real time like vapour when it rains on tv, see dust out-projected from the screen, smell screeching tyre smoke, etc, should they opt to do so, though it requires one to be close to the television. The experience goes with the size of your tru-Vision telly screen though. Watching tv was flip tossed. And to top it all, the Unicostics indoor theatre system made everything come to live. Unicostics system has a bi-sensor for automated volume ctrl like self-lowering of volume during adverts, distortions, obscene parts in both visual and audio content, etc, and if included the mood option from the options list, there’s a lights link that connects to your home grid and ctrl lights according to the content viewed. The hyper TV was the first to be sold as a package and with an optional extras list.
The commercial success of the hyper TV became the new dawn era for E.Lumina as shares were on all-time-record high, and shareholders reaping rewards of their investment. But then, in the midst of everything, Jolyn wasn’t happy as she was in demand but her remuneration notch was way below her importance. She tried reasoning with the bosses but they weren’t careful of their answers to her. It was through per chance luck that one HR officer at E.Lumina was at the same saloon as one head hunter to quench his thirst. The head hunter eavesdropped and caught a hint about the greedy bosses at E.Lumina who deny Jolyn what’s due to her after coming up with such a great idea of the hyper TV. He was speaking on the phone about that.
The next day just before noon, Jolyn received a text message about an opportunity for someone like her in a rival company, and she declined the offer but showed it to Didi. Out of worry, Didi tried showing the CEO the importance of Jolyn, but resisted moving with the blows of recommendation. The CEO invested in alternative assets class. The next day he called Jolyn into his office and gave her one of his alternative assets. It was a scrathed timepiece that he had worn just a mere 8 times and put aside because of its scratch, and she took it and thanked him for that, especially after telling her its value at purchase.
After 2 days, in the executive foyer, Jolyn asked the CEO for the certificate of ownership to prove its origin and new ownership, and he did. Reading dissatisfaction from her facial expression and body language, the CEO appointed her to the position of co-IO to appease her. Jolyn soon after the appointment hinted at another new-to-the-market product. The rumour went out fast as media had moles in staff to get the latest and heads up on products to be released. In a few weeks they released a cordless battery charged smart iron which has its own docking board. The docking board has a charging bay and you can either plug your smart device on it and listen to music while ironing or connect via bluetooth. The iron detects the fabric and self-adjust for the amount of heat the fabric needs to be ironed with. The industry was thrown off as they weren’t thinking of something like that and it became a hit and a sort-after gadget that the middle-class and the affluent went for. Many a consumer were stunned and left guessing what’s next on the surprise menu to roll out of the innovation assembly line. E.Lumina created an aura of mystery and blew it back into the market to make it exciting to go out and do shopping.
In a space of weeks an updated hyper TV was released with a self-projector cam installed in it. It made it super expensive but nothing was evident of such as it sold like it was given for free. People wanted to see themselves on television at real time, inexpensively so; and so, why not buy that? The high-end hyper TV could record you while doing whatever and auto-edit the clip. The hyper TV slowly extirpated the entry-level videography market as you get an edited video of self or selves without anyone shooting and most importantly within minutes after your activity. It was a hit with home gym consumers and choreographers. The hyper TV broke ground in adult entertainment world as it became easy to record solo scenes or easy set scenes and have them auto-edited and just simply send to sites and earn. Musicians, Dj’s and podcastors also made appearance in the early adopters of the new fun factor cum easy product selling and content producing feature. The picture quality of the tru-Vision was undisputed still in that when converted down as compressed, was at 36K. E.Lumina was trending for all the right reasons thanks to Jolyn. Another disruption was its auto-rotate button at the back of the screen, that allowed you to watch tv or record self or selves at either landscape or portrait setup. People started doing their own home-made reality shows that filled the net. The hyper TV was a sensational phenomenon that changed the game in media.
Jolyn’s name was starting to make inroads into many spaces and soon she announced the timepiece she has that has huge value. She fabricated a mystery story for it and it attracted collectors under the theme “the pariah collection”. The story involved a cheap painting that allegedly scratched the valuable timepiece and was sold together with that highly sort-after Galasko 360Alta-Chrono. The watchmaker company, Galasko Chronomatics, based in Switzerland, Geneva, was founded in 1879 by an immigrant chronologista from the Swiss capital, Bern, named Maridan Ronaldo Gillepsie nee Galaskos. Just after success of her fanfare auction that made waves for their brand which saw her more than tripled the timepiece’s worth and had it sold to a middle-aged onauruital oil magnate sheik from Ajman in UAE through bidding. An over-the-counter painting she scooped for a measly UYU372.50 got sold for a staggering UYU49 400.
Riding on the auction wave, Galasko Chronomatics’ marketing MD, Jozfos Carnell, searched for Jolyn so they can have her as a team member in their family. Seeing how determined Jozfos was, she resigned at E.Lumina and but instead opted to having her and her brother register their own company, 2d1 Muse, and partnered with them for 2 classic master timepieces called the Galasko 720/2in1-Chrono (round shaped) and the 720/48hr-Chrono (tonneau shaped). 2In1 and 48hr referred to the mechanism of that watch which counted with twice the normal time speed, thus meaning a day was 48hours with it (2 days in 1). It was overwhelming how the market caught on the vibe of it and the alacrity in sales wowed the executives at Galasko. It soon set the new time for appointments as appointments were either set at standard hour time or Galasko hour time. Together with them, it was safe to proclaim that Galasko reinvented time. It now is you either live life in Galasko or standard time. Both the timepieces became the best sold timepieces and the second most expensive in the world’s history of timepieces. They marked an epoch of their sort in chronometry.
What made these timepieces special was the precious metal which was used in their casing as they chose the newly discovered and rarest of rare in malleable minerals called xevadium. This very fascinating and sensational chemical element had healing properties in it which benefited anyone who wears it. That alone made the timepiece the most wanted for any thoroughbred collector especially after it was certified true to be good for blood circulation via its magnetic base that had a choke on blood clots formation and also good for bone marrow densifying by more than 6 globally renowned medical associations in different labs in a dozen laboratories. Its calming effect was a magic never found ever in any timepiece in the world. To ensure longer lead sustenance in the market with it, after patenting it, 2d1 secured a full title sole demesne of the plot where the rarest mineral was found. Atop that, the other wonder which was industry’s first was the timepieces’ self-repair rubber belt which rendered them non-wearing and tearing.
The stock value of Galasko Chronomatics outperformed all listed luxury goods manufacturers. On the other hand the value of E.Lumina was experiencing stagnation as none could fill the creativity vacuum after Jolyn left them on the start of yet another exciting chapter to embark on, which was portable mono mobility solution. Jolyn resigned while working on a solar pyroglider, which is a solar heated body balanced people mover (EPM or elevated people mover) that once you step onto, elevates 40cm above ground and take off to the direction you command it to go via a lavelier controller pegged to one finger in each hand.
The
trouble with geniuses like Jolyn was that they don’t stay somewhere for too
long. She soon was out of watchmaking and making new waves in paint
manufacturing industry. She moved on too quickly and whatever she touched sold
miraculously. In just a short time she made a history and so was her death.
Intestate and heavily insured at age 29, ever young looking and childless, with
7 years of magic runs, Jolyn collapsed on her way out to office and was
confirmed dead on scene. Like the mystery she was, the cause of her death to
date remains as that, a mystery. She was buried with a colourful slayet...dp
Q_how can you treat a talent as rare as Jolyn’s for a chance at having her for keeps? Was Didi taken serious at E.Lumina and why? To you, why was Jolyn’s moves controlled by her brother? What does intestate mean and what does it say about Jolyn’s brother and why? For you, which was her best creation by far?
Scenario 137
4 days after the burial Nanema Chukwu visited the gravesite to reconnect with her gods and say her goodbyes spiritually. She later took off back to Dodoma for a job interview the next day. She never slept. In the morning she was first to arrive at 7:10 for an 8:15 interview. Nanema was the first to be seen on that particular day, and she was called in for her grilling. She was tasked with writing a three minute speech in five minutes and read it.
She did so and the panelists loved her instantly for her spot-on articulation. Three days later she received a call from the agency telling her to come to work on the second of the following month, which was in eight days. She got plenty of time to prepare her wardrobe and polish on her writing skills. Day of commencement arrived and Nanema was ready for her take.
The agency that employs her, Gibi Ntule Media (GNM), wasn't correctly aligned with its name. She did her research on them and found that the two things they did were writing speeches and public statements only. As a poet and author, it was natural for her to be employed by an agency as that. The owner, Gibi Ntule, is a former lecturer of literature at the University of Dodoma. He was a firmaling by nature and that was the reason we're hearing about his agency now.
GNM had a staff of three and her as the fourth. Nanema was busy with her novel by the time of her father's passing after a short illness. Her father was a heavy smoker and drinker, a life he led shortly after the death of his wife four years ago. He seemed to not cope due in part to his denial of her death and secondly because of his ill treatment of his wife before her death. Nanema's mother died of meningitis, and during her struggle with it her father didn't support her and instead called her lazy and exaggerative of nothing serious but a common headache until she succumbed to it. Ever since then he cut his friends and some of his family who supported his bad deeds unto his wife.
At GNM, Nanema started off with a good impression that got Mr Ntule pin his eye on her for growth. One afternoon they were working on a speech together for the first time, which was for the deputy chief of Haru na Danguro Logistics, and he probed her about her life story before coming to GNM. It was a bit of a dry sugarcane to bite, let alone to chew, and she said it in six minutes. And after finishing asked about the last lines of the speech. Mr Ntule told her that he was expecting her to ask him about his story too in turn, but Nanema abruptly ended his statement by saying "I already know".
With mixed emotions he remarked that then he's not interesting per se. Nanema realized quickly that it actually was bad of her to react than respond to him as it's kind of dismissive and disrespectful. She told him that she's already done some reading on him and he asked why not a research. The conversation was starting to get interesting and when she was about to answer him, a knock on the main office door was heard and he asked her to go answer that. It was Mr Ntule's younger brother, Yuthe. He came in to wish his brother good luck on his first address as deputy chief executive and Mr Ntule got him interrupted before mentioning more things as he knows his ways of gloating.
Nanema suddenly put the triangle upside down and gave her a V if the base is exposed and cut off. She understood why he asked if she hadn't done a research on him. He wanted to tell her about his new appointment and she wasted that. Yuthe didn't stay long and Mr Ntule left her in the draft room to make a conference call to someone or some client, she didn't hear him well because of his lowered tone. Alone in his office he was beating himself up and while Nanema too in there was in same position. Gibi wanted to make his move on her for genuine reason not through status and Yuthe collapsed his chances. After finishing the draft she dropped it in his inbox and quietly left though having realized he wasn't busy.

The following day Mr Ntule wasn't in and nobody knew why and where he was as it was a normal thing for him to be the first to be in, but today the cleaner opened the office for them. For the whole day Nanema wasn't pleasant as she was on the fence about his whereabouts but not sure, and again couldn't voice her suspicions to avoid gossip. For the rest of her day she yearned to see his usual self entering the office but wasn't to be until they knocked off. That particular night she couldn't sleep, it was eating at her why he acted like that. She had the answer but just won't entertain it because she knew he was a bachelor.
To her relief she found him in the next morning and was his usual unbossy self. Gibi avoided too much contact with staff on that day but at least was cheerful again as he was supposed to be as any new appointee would, yet announced nothing until someone in the office broke it via an online feed about the big news. He was officially announced as the new deputy chief of operations at Haru na Danguro Logistics. In the pic he's spotted with his seniors and their wives with him alone in the middle. He seemed not cutting that frame of fulfillment but with a smile fake to read through his worry if you knew him well, and that broke her.
After work she left behind to finish up a chapter she was writing before the final one. That was to create a chance to see him again and apologize. He came out to check on her as usual and she asked for a sec with him and he colloquially responded by folding his arms and rolled his eyes before saying, "a minute would do". She started off with an apology and he asked what for, and she said for the way she responded to him and he said its her nature and he'd already adjusted self to it. The response threw her outline. He wasn't straight about where the chat will lead and seemingly sounding like he's not at that very position he was on that day. She was perplexed.
He said to her that on that day he wanted to ask her if she could accompany him to some special event but wasn't to be given how it went. He also was wanting to say something else to her but was obvious to him it wouldn't stick as she showed not even a dot of interest in him, so got over it fortunately for his unfortunate side. She was again out of where next to step. With a bold face and tone she asked what did he want. He calmly with a schmoocky face said to her, "You" and sat on her desk. "Me for what exactly?" and he said, "to hear my life story" before standing up with a sign of about to exit. She told him she's ready to listen, and he sat again and this time on a chair. He started. It took forty minutes and then posed a question to her: "With a man like that at your disposal, what would you do?" She took a deep breath and said, "I'd take my chance at loving him!!" and he proceeded by asking, "Are you implying that you've fallen for me?" With a glorious voice and a gracious smile said yes to that. He kissed her on her forehead, left the office keys on her desk and went back to his office. She upped and left unsure what he meant.
He was happy and it was evident the following day going forward. He later on his first meeting with the H na D board asked her to come with for introduction. Mrs Haru took her to the side after the introduction to secure a weekend appointment with her. Since it was on a Wednesday, she agreed to that as it'll give her enough time to prepare an outfit for their meeting. Saturday came and she asked for him to go drop her there. She found that she was overdressed and Mrs Haru changed to match her. They went out for lunch and some wardrobe. She spent a whopping TZS 3 million on her whilst also tipping her on how to be going forward. It was a lot to take in and make sense of it all. She was reminded she's Mrs Ntule in the making and the fiancee of the country's biggest logistics company's Deputy COO, which is touted as the thirty seventh in the continent. It then clicked.

She was reminded she's Mrs Ntule in the making and the fiancee of the country's biggest logistics company's Deputy COO, which is touted as the thirty seventh in the continent. It then clicked.
Mr Ntule announced his partial departure from GNM to H na D Logistics to his staff and that he's leaving the agency in the capable hands of his fiancee Nanema Chukwu. She wasn't ready for that as he never explained his leaving the keys with her meant. Later that day, Nanema was in a meeting for briefing on the purpose of her agency and the direction it'll be taking moving on. In that meeting she got to know that they were having a contract with the state and that the state had a say in its running as it has interest in it as a public partner. The good thing she liked about the meeting was that she was afforded a room to air her views and was again asked to table a way forward as per her views, of which the document may be adopted as the step vision into its next chapter.
At home she shared her first time experiences with her younger brother, Foli. She couldn't believe she'll be sitting with the minister of works, transport and communication sooner than later. She was quickly rising and simultaneously an envy to her peers who thought after her father's passing it's the end of them. She couldn't thank Gibi enough.
In a week's time she was done with the document with the help of her fiance. The new direction for the agency was focus more on value-added services like manuscript proof reading, copywriting, content generation for radio, tv, internet and print media. The very day she sent it via email in the morning was finding a response in the afternoon with a directive for her to meet with them in the coming two days. She was not sure of what to make of it but remain positive. On the day of the meeting she was expecting to meet the minister and but sat with the PA for the deputy minister. The agency was given a green light to take the route she mapped in the document. The approval meant growth for the agency and for her.
In two months time Gibi and Nanema were engaged. They moved in together in Hazina and started planning on their wedding day. Nanema was thrilled that she's going in as somebody. She started developing confidence and had courage to step out in public spaces with her man and posing for pics. In Hazina they stayed with Foli who occupied the back room. She was happy seeing her brother happy and her husband joying each's company. Gibi had a slight issue with his brother when he too wanted to stay with them like with Foli. They allowed Yuthe to come stay in the other room as they were two, with shared toilet and a common room with a kitchenette. The two spent most of their time in the common room playing tv games. It was a huge relief to both of the lovers that their brothers were gelling.
GNM was doing well and its shareholders were happy and proposing to throw in a budget for expansion. The staff was upped to seven by then. In the meeting with the agency board, with Gibi in attendance, Nanema came with a good suggestion that the agency hire an office in all the ministry of works, transport and communications offices. This was a long shot for a simplified expansion plan and they considered it. The aim is cost reduction for their footprint expansion. It was after a week approved and had six weeks to effect the move in that space was already created.
The time for the pair's wedding day came and their ceremony was a beautiful and simple one, both the Harus and the Danguros jointly gave them a honeymoon experience they never thought of. They were flown on a pvt plane to Himalayan landlocked country of Bhutan in South Asia. Mrs Haru recalled her talk with Mrs Ntule the other day saying she wishes to see the Himalayan shrews and marmots afield the Himalaya Mountain. They had four days to be together and they came back showing more affection for each other. They were a good frame to memorize.
GNM grew with the help of Nanema's Operations Manager, Ashinah Bangwe. She made the agency acquire a notification system platform and communication was efficient and cost effective. She was so hands-on that Nanema at times managed to have some time off. She loved travelling and their PA loved being inbound, so it balanced. She was good at attending to branch managers and solving their problems while Nanema attended to meetings with media houses and liaising with ministerial assistants on their diaries for speech writing preps.

Despite their tries for a child, Nanema and Gibi struggled to conceive. In the fourth year of their marriage opted for an adoption. The arrival of the two kids, a five-year old boy, Imu and girl Kanoni, three years old, brought them closer and kept them recommitted to their marriage more than ever. After that, Gibi was promoted to the position of COO of H na D. He continued contributing positively to the growth of the company whilst Nanema too kept pacing the growth of the agency. She became the CEO and Ashinah as the M.D...dp
Q_do you think Foli and Yethu will ever grow up to be responsible for their selves? Was Imu and Kanoni's adoption warranted? Will it be true that Nanema was born in Nala?
Scenario 136
His epithet, "Money swindler" best described the colourful character Hugo Sanz was. Hugo had a messy divorce that left him settled out with a mega cargo moving company, 6ty Ton Removals. His estranged husband was none other than Madridista billionaire magnate Gael Romane, who owns 4¢ Media Group, C R Steel n Glass, 4th Take Casinos, South Hemston Bricks, Le Baron Cosmetics and Alterna Tech.
The divorce left Gael with € 2 billion short of reaching 30 big ones. Him and Hugo met on the day Alterna Tech was launching its new human and animal diagnosis scan machine, the P-U 840 in Barcelona. He spotted Hugo while he was giving a key note speech and felt goosebumps. After his unveiling of the machine he went to the balcony to catch some bit of fresh air and to also make a call to his right-hand man. Turning around, there he was, the man who drew his attention. He was flawless, well dressed, his smile like not innocent yet saying I'm here to come and claim you. He approached him and the day flipped for Gael.
That very evening and night were spent in style at Gael's friend hotel. Gael had once a fling with a former director of one of Russia's airlines and but was never this taken. The next morning they went to Hugo's penthouse to have some private fun together. He told him the apartment was his and why not be in for the rest of the day? Gael wasn't thinking straight by then and stood with him with all phones off. They had a hell of a body hugging pleasure none had ever made him experience. Worried sick, his right-hand man and owner of Vetch, Rey Gil sensed strokes of deceit and went to his office to trace Gael's location.
He kvetched to his PA, Vera Yeuba, about his silly and nonsensical behaviour but she said nothing. She already had a catchment of what was going on and can't say a word about it. He sent his police friends to go check on him and they confirmed he was okay. Hugo was in bed during the day and busy at night. The following day Gael flew back to Madrid to be with Rey and Vera. That night Rey and Gael flew to Malaga for a meeting with a potential client. They had a fruitful session that yielded good results. They went to Gael's Playa de La Malagueta beachfront mansion in Costa del Sol for the night to celebrate. After a few drinks alone as Rey doesn't drink alcohol, Gael knocked out. Rey carried him to his snug bed him and went to sleep into the other bedroom to rest.
In the morning he checked on him and found him already up and having a cold shower. His door was ajar and right into it he could see him shower. Rey stood and watched him, and when he was done then sneaked out. He closed himself in to shower and after they went out to have a breakfast at the nearest hotel restaurant to share a botter mukka and hwivie with iced tea. In between the meal a call displaying a handsome face that lit up the mood for Gael. After the call Rey asked if the lanky was the case he went awol and he laughed with a nod. It became clear to him Rey was jealous.
Later they flew back to Madrid. Gael started spending most of his time crossing to Barcelona. In seven months they engaged and got married on the eleventh month. Rey felt Hugo wasn't in the same league as Gael and the first time he laid his eyes on him told him he's just sighted a leech, and Gael didn't want to pay attention to him 'cause it was too expensive to afford. Hugo was spotted a couple of times with twinks gallivanting in high-end spaces. Rey tried warning his friend but nope he couldn't take stock of any from him as he read jealousy only in him. It all came filling the mind when his spouse made tabloid headlines and his name dragged into the mess that he was starting to question his failure to see the tell tale signs.
The cracks started revealing ambiguous benignity of their marriage and quickly Hugo was defensive, and instead of trying to redeem himself chose to end the marriage in favour of the kinky twink. The to and fros of their saga ate him up to a point that saw him take some time off. Rey ran the show for two weeks and the divorce was settled with Gael giving up his cargo removal to be even with Hugo. From €180K worth to €2,36 billion worth plus a €4,79 billion industrial logistics business, 6ty Ton Removals. It left him in a wavey collage of disappointment frames, worse was after discovering the penthouse was his alimony through a former lover and so was the restaurant. He builds nothing and but coming out of relationships with value gained.

It left him in a wavey collage of disappointment frames, worse was after discovering the penthouse was his alimony through a former lover and so was the restaurant. He builds nothing and but coming out of relationships with value gained.
Gael went out on a search for Hugo's ex lover and found him, and they connected. His name was Aiyira Fontana, a busy day shredder psychologist in industrial discipline. As an industrial psychologist, Aiyira was overwhelmed by Gael's aura of mutuality and his generosity with his time a bliss. At first Aiyira went in eyes wide open and with time saw he was really in love with him, and threw his full in to no regret. Gael loved the fact that their bond will be stronger because they've both been stroked by the same hoarder.
Unbelievably beknown to Gael, Rey was deeply dying with love for Gael but not having the guts to say it. Gael understood that they're good as friends and allies but not as lovers. Life doesn't give everything we wish for and pity others do get some of their wishes albeit in a tease. He loved tantric massage and one day tasked Rey to do it on him and that finished him off with lust. He felt his exposed bald mast sweeping dripped excesses of surplus deposits between his mountains and his sweaty palms firmly clasping his crease lines yet restrained for a lacrosse prode. Tossing up, Gael knocked a rare clench to his throb that made Rey decorate his laps with a burst of coagula output as he just couldn't contain the brunt of that torture.
With a nudge to his bushed seed sags, he knew Gael was fine with it and he slowly lapped up in spread the deposits. On that day Rey was granted half his wish. Gael did an honourable mention of that encounter to Aiyira and both chose to close that with a glass of wine and a promise to let it end as such. To him it came as no shock as he has seen how Rey looks at Gael. Aiyira was in awe by Gael's transparency and melted his heart with flutter. Though he was openly honest to Aiyira, Gael was torn apart because he discreetly wished Rey could've went in.
Truth is, him and Rey are uncut versatiles and both are medium height with thinly framed structures while Aiyira is a cut bottom with a chiseled body. He was in limbo as the winds of lust got the better of him especially after having felt his throb. Time went by and slowly things got serious between Gael and Aiyira that the thought of Rey disappeared. Aiyira worked overtime to keep Gael. They stayed together and never planned on a wedding or tying each other down but naturally felt right to commit to one another for keeps as life partners out of a civil union. Aiyira was delaying to commit, reason being that he was afraid Gael would start cheating on him same way Hugo did him. He wasn't sure about his intentions for him. Gael never say that much about loving someone and instead showing it and, to Aiyira not assuring.
One day Aiyira met with Hugo and had a heated exchange of words. Hugo showed him what he got out of Gael and that Aiyira was wasting his time to cash in on the fool. Those words were enough for him that he even made strides to connect with Rey about it to teach him a lesson. It was well worth the try as the two found each other than they believed they would and came with a plan. They agreed their band was a duo and their hits to be danced to by Hugo and company only. He was glad Rey was on the same element as he on vengeance. They held secret meetings and ultimately hatched a good one. 6ty Tons was doing okay and they figured it needed a shake, and what a better way to start than with its boss. 6ty Tons was in for a hell of a storm and the clouds gathered too quick for them to notice.
Rey and Aiyira hired a twink to seduce Hugo and he fell for it. Aiyira knew he'll go for him because he knows his dream poster boys, and youngling, Leon, was a perfect fit. Leon wormed his way into him deeply and got Hugo wrapped around his fingers. He was crazy about him that he even bought him an apartment closer to his penthouse as he didn't want to move in with him sooner. He was 25, slender and hair long, the three ticks top his wish list.
In just two months he was soaked and the second phase of their plan kicked in. They gave Leon a mixture of club drugs, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines and statins. In month five he was starting to show the side effects. They gave him two more months and he was done. They exacerbated his lychnobite nature and turned it upside down in a manner that destroyed him internally. His body system was acting up, he had no strength and also behaved abnormally. They gave Leon some documents to sign and he instead read them first. Unbeknownst to them, Leon was a law school drop out so he took the documents and added his name and particulars too. The same night he signed them, told him he's over his behaviour and life. The following night he was on the phone trying to get hold of him to no avail. He walked to his apartment only to find the tenants who didn't know where their landlord was and whom it was.
In a matter of days he was getting better and then boom!! the shareholders held a meeting in his absence. The company was owned by three new joint bosses, a surprise the two didn't anticipate. Before they went in for a formal introduction, Leon explained to them what he was and that he couldn't let such an opportunity pass him by. They told him that they took back the company for Gael to get it back and not for themselves. Leon laughed and said he's welcome to work with whomever they introduced him to as his partner, and they shook hands on it. Leon was smarter than they believed and they got in to be introduced to the board. At 25, Leon was the youngest director and held 8% in the company, equally as the others.
After a month and a half, Hugo came back guns blazing wanting what's rightly his, and the next morning the police were knocking on his door on allegations of rape. He called Leon same time asking him what went wrong and he said to him to drop his court order then he too would drop the charges. He complied and his chapter with 6ty Tons ended there with double the pain, him now swindled. To show his gratitude, Leon spent two spicy contessa nights at Rey's palace waltzing around. Rey wanted him to be part of the fixtures in his home but wasn't to be as the youngling was after his peers though dropped in now and then for a night cap.
On one rainy day Leon went to visit Gael at his home as he knew Aiyira was out of the country for a big assignment in Munich. He was getting big gigs because of his association with Gael. Leon wanted him all to himself and it didn't happen as Gael questioned his motives. They instead enjoyed a bottle of wine and Rey passed by and joined in. During wee hours left with him to his palace. The day after he came back and forced himself on him and won. They had a steamy set that lit up the mansion. He never bothered him again.
Aiyira joined forces with Gael to form an firm. He always dreamed of doing that with him as he had a qualification in PR. The firm, AG Comm, became one of the most powerful and respected firms in the communications sector, though wasn't in Gael's plans. He was never into the public domain as Aiyira hoped but happy that he was in it with him. 6ty Tons thrived under the direction of Leon and Gael's Romane Group was growing though not as 6ty Tons. Leon went back to finish his degree to become the group's CLO.
In just two months he was soaked and the second phase of their plan kicked in. They gave Leon a mixture of club drugs, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines and statins. In month five he was starting to show the side effects. They gave him two more months and he was done.

Aiyira joined forces with Gael to form an firm. He always dreamed of doing that with him as he had a qualification in PR. The firm, AG Comm, became one of the most powerful and respected firms in the communications sector, though wasn't in Gael's plans. He was never into the public domain as Aiyira hoped but happy that he was in it with him. 6ty Tons thrived under the direction of Leon and Gael's Romane Group was growing though not as 6ty Tons. Leon went back to finish his degree to become the group's CLO.
Leon adored Gael wholeheartedly and the first thing he did as the new group's CEO after he got appointed was list the group on the Bolsa de Madrid. In six months the value of their group was 74% higher. To celebrate that, Gael spent the night with him and made him his beautiful widget. Gael gave him a serving of his dreams he's been longing for. Leon the following day came to him with his Algerian boyfriend for introduction, Basem Djamel Touati, whose father is the deputy minister of Energy Transition & Renewable Energy. He was full of life and worse was when Gael gave him a token of appreciation in the form of €375 million to register him a billionaire.
Rey also got to know him and but Basem didn't click with him as he set his hope pins on Gael. And for him to get settled in Spain, Leon bought him a pub and grill in both their names for him to run. Leon used its income to assist his family with. Him frequenting there with Gael at times made it the place to go and dine for the well heeled. Soon Basem was popular and his father wanted for his family to do business with the group and they met. Not long a story was about talks of a hydro power station in Algeria.
Within weeks Gael was reported to be at least €104 billion rich, and his spouse at €7,31 billion rich, while Rey came in higher at €33,2 billion and Leon the toy boy at a staggering €4 billion. The hydro power station was to rake in €618 billion for the group when finished in 20 months time. Same as Aiyira, Gael blessed Leon with 2.5% equity in the group and him still the majority holder with 44.5% and Rey 10%. Leon got tired of Basem's esteemed tendencies and left him for someone older and but kept the restaurant as partners. Because of that contract, more African leaders started making contact with Romane Group. The group's market value continued rallying...dp
Q_how can you explain the relationship between Gael and Rey in two words? Was the reason for Aiyira justifiable for not marrying Gael?

Scenario 135
Chopra Venadran grew up with a wish to be a different shining star but not having a clue of what he wished to be celebrated for. His parents had fights over his odd behaviour that his father even took him to the nearest clinic twice for observation and came back with the same conclusion that he's fine and normal. His mother was protective of him as she realized earlier on that her son is different from his twin brothers in behaviour and was more like his sister and that most of his time was spent with her. The games he used to play left much to be desired too.
As the last born of four, Chopra's pain growing up was of his father's dismissal and successively not acknowledging him as one of his children. He used to blame his wife of having had bore him a waste of his bed sweat. It was hurtful being in his shoes. He grew distant from his brothers whom didn't help his situation as they wanted to keep affection and approval of their father. He never wanted them to associate with him at all. Chopra was punished for his being. He felt every spit of his father's hatred on him and grew to accept he'll never amount to anything before his eyes.
At high school he tried many things and at the end found nothing that he belonged to. He completed his high school years and because of his situation at home, couldn't further his schooling the same way as his siblings. He one day at the local flee market met with some male stranger who was friendly to him and had a chat with for over 30 minutes before he asked him where he's from and where he's headed to. He shed a tear before uttering his answer and the stranger hugged him, pat his back and told him, "it'll be alright one day, know that." Chopra asked him his name and told him it's coach Adi. Chopra then asked: "Can I go home with you and be my coach?" The startled coach with a haste said "okay" and the two walked and out the market took a bus to Kohima. Chopra wanted so much to erase Chizami Village from his mind and this was his ticket.
Known as coach Adi, Advik Madhi was passionate about developing the youth. In Kohima he was there to check on his brother who was feeling a bit under the weather. After two days the two tracked back to his homestead in Hiware Bazaar in Maharashtra, where his performing arts studio was at. Though coach Adi led a simple life, he was actually a millionaire and a fanatic for creative industries. He was married with one girl who was a year older than Chopra. His wife was late and never remarried.
After hearing the story of Chopra along the way, he understood that Chopra wasn't yet aware of his difference from other boys as he was going through his life concentrated on the pains inflicted upon him and his mother by his father, and had no solace to act out his frustrations onto. He was deeply scarred emotionally and running away from his source of hurt. The first night he let him settle in and the following day he woke up late and showing that he's still processing the adjustment to his new environment. Later in the fall of midday had a session with him that lasted until oriency argument over dusk pigment.
Coach Adi showed him reasons for why his situation was as was, asked him for what he categorized self as sexually and intellectually, and if he knew the meaning to that. He taught him about responsible reaction to ill treatment, listening and responding to his thoughts and its bodily desires and ailments required. He learned to respect his being in whole, respect unto others, and the value of common love, family unity and continuity. He was made aware of good and bad behaviour, what to tolerate and not in building strong relationships, the benefits of truth and honest dealings with others, and about the innocence and guilt in fun and play. He got to be sold to the idea of being himself with and without conditions or restraints. He touched base with his dream, his purpose, his worldly aspirations, his SWOTs with focus solely on what he is.

He got to be sold to the idea of being himself with and without conditions or restraints. He touched base with his dream, his purpose, his worldly aspirations, his SWOTs with focus solely on what he is.
Chopra was on a retracement path walked right as the questionable being he is to himself and the nexts. His pain was laid bare and interrogated with introduction to the importance of his tears, his right to fear, his justifiable anger, his direction of blame, his burdensome hatred, his imperfect print to his background, and his unwarranted hefty rejection of self, were all brought to his fore and started the journey with him on self-forgiveness, self-discovery, self-belief, self-defense, self-help, self-acceptance and self-love; before self-abnegation, self-aggrandizement and self-availing, so he be self-contained in his self-culture with informed knowledge of self-worth.
He told him that he was in a phase that was quickly giving rise to a risky state of self-destruction and in dire need to slide that urge off through abrupt intervention, and time being then to be in quest to seek his healing. He so much wanted a guide from an nonjudgmental figure he could identify with, something his father denied him. Chopra would whenceforth shape up into a super responsible young adult. He's respectful already, just lacked a father figure and a confidant. Chopra agreed to most of the points that coach had raised about his situation though felt were only about him, not to him.
Over a couple of days coach Adi travelled with him as he went about his dailies in further observation of him. One day he asked him what he really wanted and say to him who he really was. The two questions brought out a smile for the first time out of cocoon it hid for so long. To Chopra, it felt he was now being addressed personally instead of being presented in shadows as it has been. He said quiet a lot in a short interesting manner that saw coach shed a tear. The true Chopra was coming out to the light to represent himself and dizzying with heights of relevance and realness. They were making progress.
And for the first time coach Adi had someone younger to him hold his hand in assurance that they believe with him present in their life a new day had come. It was silly to mind what he actually wanted to be but he will be there to develop him for that. In that moment, a spark of trust, belonging, and growth hit them together though in varied tempera grassa's. With a serious face said to coach: "My Angel is awoke and is alive in you. I love you coach" by then firming his grip on his hands. Chopra has never been this happy for his entire life and wishing that moment could be iced but reality clock said otherwise. They drove home in silence. On home arrival, coach asked him, "where do you want this bond to go?" With a giggle Chopra responded by saying "wherever a relationship between a father and his son would." Coach Adi nodded and got out of the car into the house leaving him behind.
Aadhila, coach's daughter, was celebrating her birthday eve and together with her best friend had a small party. She does it that way everytime. She was fond of Chopra and him too, same. The next morning they went to her mother's gravesite to introduce Chopra formally to her. They performed a tritual to welcome him into their family and later that evening their relatives were there to have a bigger 20 years celebration. Chopra was then introduced as a stepson to Advik Madhi and on that evening was given the right to use Madhi as his last name seeing that he carried their family mark with pride. He said to them that he learned something from his new dad and was identity, and as such would love it if he be allowed to be called by his both surnames joined, and the family cheered that. From then he was Chopra Venedran-Madhi. Coach was never so proud in his life after the day his wife passed away.

From then he was Chopra Venedran-Madhi. Coach was never so proud in his life after the day his wife passed away.
Coach Adi's wealth was inherited from his family and in turn multiplicated that by investing a chunk of its portion to stocks in blue chip companies on the stock exchange. He takes his dividend yield and divide it by eleven months and pay himself from that to sustain his and daughter's lifestyles. It now meant he's going to count Chopra in his equation. Apart from the dividend, he has a studio for performing arts that does generate a bit of cash flow to maintain the upkeeping of the estate.
Chopra started visiting the studio where he found ballet dancers, mainstream dancers, gymnasts, and in the theatre found his soul harmonized with the flowing scales created by the ensemble. He spent three days in a row going in there to watch them practice. The leader on the fourth day called him to choose any instrument of his choice and try it out. He tried a couple of them until he felt comfortable with a bass violin. He was there everyday and he grew into it. On the day Aadilha celebrated her twenty-first, Chopra organized with his teacher to have them play specially for her and they did. It didn't take long before they were invited to play at a gala event. They started playing and their profile picked.
A day after his twenty-second, the ensemble was booked for an opening of a huge commemoration event in Mumbai that was televised. The commemoration started and to set the mood got them play a cantata. They played a neo-classic rendition of De la Plomos Symphony Orchestra: Symphony No. 4 in D Major, "Naina rupee tera" and in that piece was a bridge that Chopra cuts in with a transition to its climax, and that arrangement stood him out. Well groomed, there he was on the screen and his mother wasn't watching from their home set. She was with her neighbour to watch it together. She couldn't believe it at first but got confirmation from her neighbour when she screamed and hug her. Her mother was relieved, hurt, overwhelmed and crying at the figure she saw on television that was a part of hers.

After the performance the ceremony went on and as they were seated still, the camera again favoured him and she saw him again. Other neighbours came to tell her about it, it was unbelievable. His father heard about it from a friend and he chose to ignore the noise though inside the regret roaming was busy with him. He later when at home asked if it was true that Chopra was alive and been live on tv, and was answered with a yes. He got up and went straight to bed. By the time his wife came to bed found that it was late, Chopra's father had a stroke. They arranged for transportation to take him to hospital.
Nine months after, the ensemble had to perform in Imphal and his sister went to just catch a glimpse of him and with sheer luck maybe even a hello to her wave. She sadly afforded transportation to the event but not the entrance fare. She indeed was lucky as the ensemble arrived an hour earlier and she saw him in their luxury coach. She waved and shouted his name out but because they were listening to the music inside couldn't hear her. She tried everything she could to get closer to them but wasn't possible until the show began. She due to transport couldn't wait until the show ended as it'll be too late for her to board a train back home. She went back home to tell her mom and dad that it indeed is him but couldn't get close because of the security detailing around the venue.
A year passed and one day at a mall in Dimapur, Chopra met his former classmate who gave him information on the state of affairs at home. He was glad to know that they were still okay and his father's condition didn't worry him. His classmate asked for his contact number and he gave it to him. Chopra was by then celebrated wherever he went as he dreamed about it every night and day, was joyous of its every minute of it.
The same night his former classmate called him and asked for him to hold for a second, and heard a voice that made him freeze for a jiffy and came back to reality, his sister. He asked she drop so he call back and he did, and they talked until their battery went dead. He told his stepsister about that and she encouraged him they go to visit them the following morning, and they did. Getting home his first point of contact was his former classmate who couldn't believe it and met them at the village entrance. He got into the car and they headed to his home and sent him in first to prep them and wait for his signal to get out the car and into the house.
After some minutes they were ready and from his signal drove into the yard and into the house. The reunion brought everyone to tears. He found that his sister was a homestead farmer, his twin brothers were too not doing fine, one as a village mechanic and the other a liquor bootlegger. They were ashamed of their positions but he cared less. His sister was engaged to a fellow farmer and both brothers still single. They were happy to meet Aadhila who gave them a lot of money in cash which Chopra didn't know about but was glad for. On their goodbyes, his brothers apologized to him and said it's nothing, they're family. His father refused to come out of his bedroom and didn't want him to step into his bedroom, of which he obliged and was away from it. They spent hours with neighbours coming in to touch him and celebrate him. It was a touchy affair.
At sunset they drove out and went home. As he reversed saw his father peeping at them through his bedroom window. It was a joyful day for both of them and from that day Chopra had them set up an account to send them money every month. After five months of his visit his father passed away and he didn't want to go but his stepsister and stepfather forced him and went with him. They finally met the man who turned the life of Chopra around, though told them he did it all on his own and him just carried him on through the process until he found his feet. They were grateful regardless.
When asked to say a word about his father, refused to, same way he did him to his very end and instead wrote a note he gave to Aadhila to stand on his behalf. It read: "Dear Mr Venadran, thanks to you I got to know the power of wishing bad away, known what the result of being listened to can do, knew the importance of a parent's love to a child, and living in feel the experience of a big dream and its meaning. The mercy of the Lord guided me through my gods to meet my Angel. Go well and hope not to meet again." It made his mother cry but she knew the pains they suffered by him. She later told coach Adi that she's not bitter at all and no grudge held against Chopra for the hell they suffered was unbearable. He nodded and pat her, said nothing and recused himself.
After the burial coach Adi hooked the twins with a friend of his for employment prospects and it was reported a month and a half later that they were working decent jobs. Chopra and Aadhila started visiting often since there were no bad vibes anymore. It was rather unfortunate that his mother couldn't claim him back, he was a Venadran-Madhi and they learnt to live in celebration of. What chased him out of home made him be.
As time passed, Chopra was recruited to play with a mega classical music star, Gilead o'Fanarossa, and his star rose to higher levels as he always made mention of his players before his performances end. One thing unique about Chopra was that he couldn't read the score sheet but gelled and in tune all the time, and that's one attribute he loved about him. Chopra played big events for years until his peaceful death in sleep of his stepfather and inherited a huge fortune. He but kept the same position his stepfather kept for continuity sake and a solidified growth momentum.

Chopra played big events for years until his peaceful death in sleep of his stepfather and inherited a huge fortune. He but kept the same position his stepfather kept for continuity sake and a solidified growth momentum.
His stepsister was never married and never bore any child. It forced Chopra to adopt a child too. He found this young lad in the rain after a day at the cinema and had him followed to the restaurant. Through the window he saw him and he asked for leftovers of which he kindly asked the waitress to call him in. They ate together and before they went home together, asked him his name. He told him he's Hitesh. Hitesh was a bit darker than they were and very shy yet silently naughty.
Chopra taught him the same way he was by his stepfather. He grew him up with the values of obedience, humbleness, sharing unreservedly, teaching the lost, voicing with reason and empathy, being kind and gentle with self and others, celebration of self and others' achievements no matter their type. The difference with his stepson was that he became a famous international e-Formula1 driver who learned to grow up in acknowledgement of his source and embrace of his roots, with awareness of finding his joy in self first before needing someone to fulfill his contentment.
He made Chopra and Aadhila proud when he married a girl he knew from the streets, Kanci, and aged 52, four years after their wedding Chopra died in a jet crush on his way from Nepal. After that, his aunt took over and lived with them. Aadhila was very close to Kanci and very protective of her. It was worse when she bore twins, a boy and a girl and had them named after her and his father, Advik with the promise that they'll name their next born will bear the name of Chopra. After seven days she had her last breath with baby Advik in her arms...dp
Q_would you adopt a child for inheritance? Why didn't Chopra acted on his feelings of being? What did coach Adi actually coached? What is a family mark?

Scenario 134
Famis bin Sahel-Khan is the executive leader of a company that's a license holder of a newly registered express airline called Mhiel Air. Their jets carries a minimum of 18 passengers to a maximum of 40 passengers. Their flights are non-connecting, they fly straight. The only catch about this convenience is the price, flying Mhiel Air is very costly.
The news of him being the face behind the new company made his profile be busy on all his online platforms. He was suddenly the lady's favourite and he was loving every minute of it. His right-hand man, Odhin Remirai, was up in arms with him over his new found fame that's turning him into a superficial hero of the Casanova islands. Famis was unstoppable and not prepared to take orders from anyone. At some point it was reported of his recently developed penchant for orgies where he's the main bull in the kraal. Famis was living lavi da loca.
Mhiel Air started out with a fleet of five leased jets and within eight months were on two extra. Their straight flights were a hit with business execs as it was quicker and hassle free to fly Mhiel honestly. The courtesy they were slowly accustomed to was also a secret weapon to climbing numbers. The airline had a mix of flight attendants, and they were serving their passengers with due care. Male attendants wore tight pants and same went for females.
There was a big plus about Mhiel that other airlines couldn't copy, and that was aboard entertainment for special groups, especially high paying ones. For them there's a specific plane set for that kind of treatment. Business execs, politicians and celebs were the biggest money spinners for that service. The cabin was a haven of champagnes and other expensive fluid ounces which were availed. The intoxicating accustom driven experience was so addictive that many companies' entertainment budgets were spent in that on-air set up. Mhiel got away with that secret because their clients were mum about the true gluing ingredient.
Famis grew the airline and the board grew fond of him though not knowing the exact sales generator. By year end, they did good and were on time with payments, taxes and other deductibles for a startup. Seeing that their bookings for the special plane were up, Famis ordered another plane and have it customized to the latter detail. Not long he introduced time share for their private clients. The service opened a whole new cash pier for the airline.
Because they were cautious about the target audience, they reserved the usuals for their regulars. The next step, they introduced a cloud card and with it the holders were grouped for entertainment aboard. The one thing that surprised Famis was the fact that the private clients could book a plane for an hour's hover flight just for entertainment and be out the next minute for the next to fly out.
Famis bin Sahel-Khan is the executive leader of a company that's a license holder of a newly registered express airline called Mhiel Air. Their jets carries a minimum of 18 passengers to a maximum of 40 passengers. Their flights are non-connecting, they fly straight. The only catch about this convenience is the price, flying Mhiel Air is very costly.
The news of him being the face behind the new company made his profile be busy on all his online platforms. He was suddenly the lady's favourite and he was loving every minute of it. His right-hand man, Odhin Remirai, was up in arms with him over his new found fame that's turning him into a superficial hero of the Casanova islands. Famis was unstoppable and not prepared to take orders from anyone. At some point it was reported of his recently developed penchant for orgies where he's the main bull in the kraal. Famis was living lavi da loca.

The one thing that surprised Famis was the fact that the private clients could book a plane for an hour's hover flight just for entertainment and be out the next minute for the next to fly out.
The airline was busy and their flight attendants were split into two groups, the public attendants and the private attendants. The second year cut its tail in count of eleven planes branded Mhiel Air. Indeed the world of flying was good for bon Sahel-Khan and his partners. Famis was never a numbers man, but a thinker, and Odhin the man about digits.
Seeing that Famis didn't want to learn and also that he had turned against him because of the attention he was getting from the netball league surrounding him all the time, Odhin opened up a stash account in his only daughter's name, Letia. The airline was growing everyday and by the 30th month they were celebrating 200 000 passengers. In his speech, Odhin praised the whole staff and hinted at a big move that's about to happen soon. The sentiment left even Famis shaken as he never had heard anything about the airline being said. It bugged him until he made time alone with Odhin to zero in on him but he said he wanted for the staff to be in suspense so they perform better. They both laughed about it but he had a hunch Odhin's up to something and was hiding it from him.
As time goes, Famis contracted HIV/AIDS. He was diagnosed with it after suspicion by one doctor friend during a booze binge. The world of Famis came crushing right in front of his eyes. The company was growing in a rapid pace and him now on a standstill with regret that bred self-hate and envy over his right-hand man. Sadly though for him, he chose to keep it to himself but Odhin got tipped because he had to be careful as he shared a lot with him.
He started losing weight, his skin changed, his legs swollen and painful, he asked for some time off and Odhin took over. He ran it for only a month and asked to be excused so he be with his ailing brother and friend. He did a noble thing that touched everyone. Out of denial, Famis refused to go and consult as he was angry at self for having not heeded to Odhin's calls for ease on ladies and now the results put him down. He was weak, deteriorating healthwise and no longer handsome. He started drinking non-stop and constantly fighting and mocking Odhin who ended up giving up on him and went back to running the airline. On the sixth month the big ben rang for him and he answered the call. He was buried on the third day.
Famis' family elected to having one family member seat on the board to look after their interests. She was not a loud and upbeat person like the late, but were cousins. The two developed a relationship and soon they were an item. The board was not approving of it though. Odhin had a baby with a woman he was separated with. He was left with his daughter to tend when she ran away with another guy twelve years ago.
Under Odhin the airline grew even faster and doomsayers busy calling it a bubble that's about to burst but he did that two years in a row and in the third year of his reign, which was the sixth year of operation. He had his right-hand man by that time called Mushka. He and Mushka were doing wonders. Odhin married Famis' cousin and got the family choose another person to represent them as she was now looking after her family business as a spouse to Odhin. He had Mushka befriend the new family representative to have him vote with them.
The fleet kept growing and they leased an old abandoned navy airport and refurbished it. Their flights were now from their very own private airport. Soon other smaller airlines followed them and had to be permitted by them for landings and take-offs. They were raking it in. The move became their model. They refurbished old airports and took over operations. They ended up with three airports in Maui, Popoia Island and O'ahu, and their fleet now dominant.
The bin Sahel-Khan family didn't know what to say at the growth the airline was as they celebrated Famis on the tenth anniversary of the airline. With Letia now eighteen, Odhin introduced her to the inner workings of the business and sent her to school to learn anything she felt in love with at the airport or airline. It took three years and Letia was back and but came back in a state that set his father's plan back, she graduated pregnant and gave birth two months after. She had to care for her child for six months before coming back to join the airline business.
She did an Advertising and Marketing degree. She realized that the profiling of the company was not on par with the rest in the airline industry and their fleet wasn't market relevant. She helped engineer a new way of knowing about the airline, and it worked. Their airports started making money as she turned every spot a touch point. She started campaigns to run awareness of their open spaces to brand. Their fleet started advertising highline products and their profits rolled fourteen fold.
In her twenty-fifth birthday she was a director of marketing, and Mushka as CFO with Odhin the Chairman of the company. As if it wasn't enough, Odhin made his wife the Customer Relationship Officer. Letia got married and her husband was appointed as the head of security. Not long, Odhin bought their business agency and had it serve internally to grow the business further.
The next move was buy the tickets printing company that printed tickets for them. They extended their services to printing tickets for buses, cruise ships, events and for shuttle services operating from their facilities. Odhin turned the business into something of a morph entity. Then he bought part of the company that caters their passengers, AirFoodies, and bought a restaurant steak to put that food into those airport restaurants.
After twenty years of Mhiel Air and him having ran it seventeen years full, he won an award for best airline businessperson of the decade. They also won the most innovative company of the year. He felt it was enough and he shifted to being president and group Chairman. Mushka ascended to CEO and Letia appointed as the COO and her husband now the Chief of Staff.
At twenty-seven the fixed stash account her father had set up for her when she was twelve matured, and as she was earning enough, she passed it on to her son, Elmona. On her twenty-eighth birthday, her mother surfaced frail and tired. She asked for forgiveness and told her she was sick. She took care of her for two and a half weeks with disapproval from her father. She died in her care and had to bury her alone...dp
Q_why did Odhin open a stash account? Is it worthy investing in Letia?
Scenario 133
Lessons out of best regret learned, that's how to sum up the Munich based Frankfurt born archivist turned knowledge broker, the all famous baragouin despiser, Dimitris Belafonte's grandson, Uwe Bergmann. He alone beladled the stereotyping of information sourcing, storing and usage by his fresh and different way of its monetization. Uwe was an archivist at a now defunct news publishing company in Munich.
Knowledge brokerage came to him during his time at the publisher in that there were a lot of unused stories that some where canned and others non-conclusive to can put out. On its last day of closing down he approached the Editor-in-Chief to ask for the pile of boxes in archives, and she said to him, "knock yourself out if you please" and he hired a truck to move the hoard in 3 loads full. He rented space for them and started sifting through the stuff as his new job. By training he is a journalist and as an intern got into the world of archiving, something he regretted for long but with time had an 8 years' productive career out of till his last.
The process of recapture of that coded information was in two ways, first was scan the copies printed and sort them by date of publishing, and the second was group information per category and per contributor (columnists, guest writers, features, etc). It took him almost 3 years of doing that as he was alone. Sad thing that was by the way a blessing to his side was that after he lost his job his fiancee decided to quit for a better soul mate to provide for her. Uwe is a beta male and he's patient, passionate and attention to detail driven. The day he wrapped up his project, he started with uploading data on the grid for commercialization purposes and that took a long 2 months to set right in his website, which he was assisted by a web technologist.
After website set up, they got to the e-commerce side and mated the site with a new e-commerce and m-commerce payment gateway called Snapdeduct for all their transactions. It took a month and was ready for the market. It wasn't a bang as anticipated and but he pushed for awareness before sales through edu-selling until he met someone who was in the same frame of mind, and they struck a deal that saw the website gets traction. The site, named #informante, was given a new lease of leap through Uwe's new partner, Finn Weber who renamed it #info.pal. In its second year it started generating interest from academia as a platform they can use to disseminate information.
The excitement was starting to fill the room in that he was no longer sure about his next move. For Uwe, being with Finn was slowly turning its wheels of fortune. It was taking time for people to catch up to the wake of their service. The money invested wasn't showing as yet where it'll be coming from. What he did to push his dream was finance it through his payout and savings in the start, but proved not enough and had his furniture pawned. The project seemed promising but had to be marketed. He sold his car and took a loan with his apartment as collateral. None understood what he was selling to them and as such had to see it through on his own until he met Finn who ended up ditching his rented flat to go stay with him and pushed for growth with him.
In its third year #info.pal hired an intern, a research specialist who added to the team a dynamic that brought with it the ability for the website to now have access to scientists and other academic institutions and personnel. They through her built a database of valuable sources to engage with for updates on published information and classifieds availed for private and public institutions use. From then the traffic on their website started to pick up and boosting their reputation as well. There were former colleagues who were skeptical at first and now starting to give him calls as they saw a window of opportunity the platform brings.
Not long their intern, Katrina Koch, netted them another intern who was good at school in illustrations, his name is Arnold Muller. He reworked the look and feel of the site and left it's UI appealing to its visitors. It caught more interest. Arnold roped in a friend of his who excels in digital marketing, Matt Pfeiffer. With 3 interns the main men were glad with the sales turnover. In just 8 months with the young 3, the first advertisement appeared on the website and attention drawn was enough given the feedback the marketing manager had for the team. He was so happy that he even wrote a recommendation to his ex boss to visit the website and try it, of which he did and was satisfied in a month.

He was so happy that he even wrote a recommendation to his ex boss to visit the website and try it, of which he did and was satisfied in a month.
Seeing that their interns were making an impact to their growth, Uwe asked Finn if they could make them permanent staff. Finn warned him that they may start to relax should it be like that as he had proof of the younglings' behaviour once they get given such a lifeline. He instead suggested they sign employment memos first and after a year sign an independent contractors agreement. It made awful lot of sense to Uwe and did as advised. The 3 were happy for that.
#info.pal was making serious inroads into the knowledge brokerage industry. It was now getting to that level of being mentioned in other websites and media pages. After their 4 year stint they finally got to celebrate their break-even-point. It wasn't an easy feat to get there but was a worthwhile investment. With his 40% to 30% and 30% reserved, they felt it was time they made their stake available. Out of the blue, a well-known respectable giant in information management technology systems, M I Tech offered to acquire the whole stock and it was time they grew, so the offeror got a platinum shake to it.
Through partnership with M I Tech, they got 2 big research contracts from 2 big corporations, the first in pharmaceutical industry and the other in mining. In mining, they were working closely with R&D team and they got to learn a lot out of that. In pharmaceuticals the pace was different from mining and their reporting methods were tested and but adapted earlier on that the challenges they faced a breakthrough of tomorrow. Reality struck them that they won't cope with the linear staff they kept, and prompted their young staffers to source their subordinates in fields they deemed necessary. They had 7 new members in without interviews and but with the lecturers' recommendations.
They were in as interns and whilst them were furnished with permanent employment contracts, and Katrina alone refused to sign it in favour of her current earnings as they weren't going to improve except for benefits only of which she had already a medical aid, retirement plan, vehicle insurance, car allowance already in place, and so she was sorted. In hearing from her argument, the whole team reversed their minds in favour of the current employment regime. To show their appreciation, Finn and Uwe made them associate director partners with a stake of 2% each to Arnold and Matt, and Katrina 3%. Thus left Uwe with 35% and Finn 28%. The gesture fired up the 3 in a way they'll never forget.
They pushed the interns like hell and each gave their all to see their 3 bosses smile. Slowly Finn and Uwe were giving reign of their company to the 3, who kept showing they're worth more. In their first ever AGM, they went in nervous but their seniors carried them along until they got onto the wagon and started whistling at their wagon pullers. The partners loved them and wanted their more engagement with other matters as well. They pushed like they were not own bosses unlike most youth would do if were in their shoes that Finn shared his dividend with them as a token of recurrent appreciation.
#info.pal was soaring and generating more revenue through cloud data storage for big data associations and for state organs. The money they were making was steadily turning Finn into an arrogant parader of wealth. On social media he'd post his family on their outings, his cars, their 2 houses and clothes price tags. And, 1 bad day on a cold winter's morning, their offices got an unpleasant surprise from 4 demanding visitors who wanted cash they saw in bags online. As they harassed the staffers, 1 said straight that: "I won't die because of 1 arrogant bastard, best you kill him once and leave Uwe alone, he's good to us." The thugs at that time collecting accessories and other personal belongings of all staffers at gunpoint.
Thinking they're done, they shoved Uwe and Finn into Finn's office and demanded the 2 to give them bags of money Finn flashes on the internet. Uwe was hit with the back of a gun after last long 2 in 1 to Uwe, and leave them on his bed top.

Thinking they're done, they shoved Uwe and Finn into Finn's office and demanded the 2 to give them bags of money Finn flashes on the internet. Uwe was hit with the back of a gun after last long 2 in 1 to Uwe, and leave them on his bed top.
Back into the garage he climbed a baby step ladder and with the mallet broke the ceiling gently to tie the rope against the cable tie and make a knot to put round his neck. He stood still for some few minutes, said his prayer of forgiveness and slowly kicked the step ladder and 2 minutes out it was over, he crossed over. Finn was gone for good.
The car outside wasn't suspicious at first being parked outside overnight, but the following morning was still out with no movement. The neighbor went to check on him and found the doors not locked and went in. He called out but no answer and quickly went into the bedrooms and toilet but the whole house was sole-less. He went back home to try his phone only to discover it was left at work. Uwe promised to come, but first he called his wife and was shocked to be told by her that she didn't care where the fool is, then called the police with a directive to make a round at Finn's home. He rushed there to meet with the neighbor.
Before they got out of the neighbor's house, the police vehicle pulled up and they welcomed them and briefed them on their encounter. The police together with them went inside the house for a thorough inspection and drew same result as the neighbor's claim. And then, the police officer asked if he checked in the garage seeing that he parked outside. They went in and found him hanging. Still trying to process it all, the other officer came with the letters and asking them to come and see. She showed them the papers he bared so they don't struggle with finding them. Uwe gave the police the wife's phone number and she started off but jammed upon hearing the harrowing news.
She phoned back after a couple of minutes and said she's coming. She came with her sister whom after seeing his hanged shame made her turn against her sister for her wrong advice. She never wanted for things to end like that, she was pushing him to do better for their family and now because of her sister's ill advice she lost him for good. She started apologizing for her ill manners on the phone to Uwe who sat on the doorstep reading the letters quietly with tears of self blame for having failed his partner.
When asked for a statement inside, his feet locked and couldn't stand up, he was distressed. He was perplexed by what he just witnessed and also the secrecy of his partner and pride to ask for help from him or his family. The letters said quite a pen full. He vowed to trace the new holder of the shares and get them back. After the burial he typed an online notice of all shareholders of #info.pal to come to an urgent dissolution meeting of the entity. He invited the police to be present so they be able to solve the mystery of the shares.
The following morning the meeting convened. All parties present were called and those not were requested to introduce selves. Controversially, there were 2 surprise elements of interest in the room whom introduced selves as holders of the deceased's lost shares. As the chairman of the board, Uwe softly in a dry tone asked if they cared to explain how they got hold of those shares. The 2 said they got them through a sale from a broker by the name of Loch p/k/a Hector Elloch of a little known brokerage firm, Henffa & Zimmerman. A call was made to them to ascertain the claim by the 2, and it was checkered. The brokers emailed them the share sale agreement and the shareholders' agreement with a certain A P Fischer.
The IO interjected and directed they call to establish the gender of the seller, and it was confirmed as a female. The IO set to brief Uwe and whispered to him they know what had happened. He told them to adjourn for an hour and he'll be back to clear the air. They drove to Finn's home and picked his wife and told her to take them to her sister. Upon getting there, it was found that she was readying herself for a flight to Latvia. On the floor Finn's wife asked what her birthday gift to her husband was doing there, and she cried and asked to explain.
It emerged that Finn had an affair with his wife's sister and had promised to buy her silence by purchasing a house for her in beautiful Latvia, of which made Finn's wife hurl insults at her. It was regret that was causing her reaction, thinking how her sister was advising her to leave him alone, fully knowing what she was doing with her husband. She couldn't handle the pain, remembering how she used to tell her about how envious she was over her catch whenever she referred to her man. And about the robbery she said it was all not planned and but knew that there was money in the office and at home but not sure where. The videos Finn posted gave her a clue where to find the safe. As for other valuables in the news she heard reported of were new information to her. She was arrested on the spot and taken in for further questioning.
Uwe went back and explained everything to the attendees what actually transpired. The new shareholders sold them back to avoid loss. They were pained at the way they lost a good investment. Later on, he went to check on Finn's wife to put the record straight. He had a letter from him in his hand and gave it to her to read. She got answers that gave her closure, and thanked him.
A twist was the revelation of his knowledge about what her wife did in lying to him about the pregnancy as it's not his child they grew together, this he got from her wife's sister, something she admitted regretfully. Trying to explain it to him he softly said: "no need to justify, he's late and I can't be his ears and mouthpiece. You did what you had to to keep your husband." What Uwe hid from her though, coming from the second letter, was that Finn had a child long before their marriage and his child is actually their first intern, Katrina. This was sad as Katrina didn't know, and but to ascertain the claim he probed her and after asking her mother got ticks that it's true though he couldn't disclose as the deceased never intended to, so he left it at that.
The bullion bars and jewelry were never recovered as the thugs were never traced due to A P not knowing their true identities and background information. A P Fischer was sentenced to 6 years jail term and Finn's wife got a cash payoff of €4.55 million once-off to have her walk away for good.
A year later, Uwe dated a smart divorcee correspondent associate professor, Thalia Bauer, who's a mother of two boys, 3 and 7, and 8 and a half months after hit the alter to exchange vows with her elegant self. Not only a professor, she was also a director at a Berlin based malware detection and blockage startup called, TotalGuard Virus Protection or TGVP. Immediately post their vows, Thalia Bergmann put forth a proposition for their startup to be amalgamated with #info.pal or form an alliance with it. It took 4 months to set in to Uwe, but after carefully looping over the intents and made it official. In only a month it was wrapped in. It finally made more sense as consumers approved by higher subscriptions, especially now with an all new improved Snapdeduct, transactions were secure in real time and easy. Their growth was a dream come true. Uwe secretly bought 2% of TGVP for Katrina via a friend to have the transaction untraceable to him...dp
Q_how long did it actually take for Uwe to realize a profit from his business? Was Finn wrong for being quiet about Katrina? Is Thalia's intentions in good faith? Why did Uwe buy shares for Katrina?
Scenario 132
When it comes to spotting time wasters in one's life, Nancy Pareira was the top contender for the honours. Nancy had a boyfriend, Eddy Mendoza whom together graduated with just a little less than a month ago. They met at varsity 3 years ago in their first year and told selves they were in love with each other.
Sadly, Nancy fell in love with him and his dream of starting his own gaming farm after completion of his studies. The whole time when with Eddy she wasn't too deep into it and only had serious commitment to it towards the end of their last year. Eddy's parents are government employees together with his eldest sister. They're 4 and he's the third born and the only boy between them. Nancy is the first born of 2 girls and a boy who's the last born from a single parented family. Her mother is a rail track changer.
During the start of their partnership as they had planned, Eddy bought a new cellphone with a new number and used it for all correspondence during formation. 2 weeks in he got into an alleged brawl and lost that new phone, of which he bought another and but without informing her, changed his phone number. It was only after numerous attempts from her to contact him that she got to know he's changed his phone number. They argued about it and she retraced their contact points to change the contact details for him and she saved it.
In the first week of their second month in the partnership he went quiet all of a sudden only to hear from his friends that him and another friend are in hospital with shackles by the Choloma police because they were caught after being involved in a fight with some guy and his friends over a girlfriend of his friend's and won the fight. They fought outside a club and an hour later the guy found them at his friend's cottage and confronted them of which another fight broke out and the guy's friends who hid behind joined in and harmed each badly. Eddy and his friend out of revenge torched the guy's brother's car. A few days later he made bail and had a phone number changed again. Nancy simply dumped him and on her own pursued the dream.
She took a year working as an intern at a vet clinic and learnt a lot and, the following year she worked at a hotel and saved further atop the savings she made from the previous year. After that year she had enough to qualify for a loan as per the bank's website. Just a day before her going to apply, her younger sister gave birth to a baby boy and her mother asked if she could kindly chip in to assist with early days costs as they were still waiting for the boyfriend to put something in. The move set her back and had to find a job again. She was employed as a clerk at Cruz Roja Hospital and ended up staying in employment for 19 months and left to try her luck at stock trading to double her savings and discovered a year and a half in it that it's not for her and quit.
Going to the bank she was disappointed to learn that she wasn't having enough security and that the business wasn't yet generating anything. Again if operational, she'd have to have the repayment amount made minus liabilities and other deductions, meaning it should be out of her profit. She realized she was far off the mark in making it. But one thing good out of her visit to the bank was that the small business affairs consultant advised her to find someone with land at an ideal location and get in touch with organisations in their industry and be an affiliated member. That way she sure will be close to her dream. Nancy was grateful for that enlightenment.
When it comes to spotting time wasters in one's life, Nancy Pareira was the top contender for the honours. Nancy had a boyfriend, Eddy Mendoza whom together graduated with just a little less than a month ago. They met at varsity 3 years ago in their first year and told selves they were in love with each other.
Sadly, Nancy fell in love with him and his dream of starting his own gaming farm after completion of his studies. The whole time when with Eddy she wasn't too deep into it and only had serious commitment to it towards the end of their last year. Eddy's parents are government employees together with his eldest sister. They're 4 and he's the third born and the only boy between them.

That way she sure will be close to her dream. Nancy was grateful for that enlightenment.
She hit the internet and researched further and found one forum for game farmers and made contact. It took 96 hours for their response to reach the sender and they had new affiliate application forms attached, and she filled them. On the other hand she was busy looking for a person whom she could partner with albeit unsuccessfully. She obtained provisional membership and got a badge.
She sought employment and that time it wasn't easy as she stayed for over a year before she secured one in a mail center. She immediately went again at it and it took a full 2 years until she got response from someone who was keen to meet but trouble was she was working at that time. She told him and asked they postpone, and that man read it otherwise and went cold on her and next thing he was not taking her calls to avoid being scammed. One day a friend mentioned her in a chat with her boyfriend and the guy got interested and asked for her to connect him with her as his brother is a business agent and could be of help to her and make her rich. The mentioning of rich in one sentence with her friend's name from a boyfriend of hers didn't sit well with her and a good day later told him that Nancy said she's fine.
Time was going against her dream plan as she planned to be running her own business and stable at 28 and painfully she woke on her 28th birthday still working to sort mail. She was so sad that she felt hopeless and still motherless and alone that she started contemplating suicide. That day she didn't go to work to try heal. She went out late to the park. By chance she met this middle-class middle-aged man who was alone and she went to join him for a chat and to her surprise they were in the same boat and they clicked. His name was Patrice Gozo and was too celebrating his birthday but just that he was 4 years more celebrated than her.
At the time he was on the verge of being homeless as he lost employment and his debt eroded all out of his possessional worth. It didn't take long and he was out on the streets with bags. She met him at a filling station and asked for her to shelter him for a couple of days and before he went further she said yes. She helped him carry them. Her mother already knew about him and welcomed him. Their first night was a staff out of novels. They had a connection only those in true unashamed love knows. They talked the whole night and covered each's life and love syllabi. The following days was an eased omnibus.
Nancy was surprised to find out online that Patrice is a qualified pharmacochemist but worked mostly as a prescription drugs administrator. When asked about it said he never heard anyone interested in it, and that it wouldn't allow for him to retire at 45. She said she's not everyone and that she was interested. They got into her vision and he loved it. The next morning she felt empowered to pen her letter of resignation. After cashing in on her benefits she assisted him to get certified as an independent practitioner, and they partnered. They started a company that produced ready made food for animals, wild and domestic ones. It started small and with trial and error picked up. It didn't do anything much in its first and second year. In the middle of their third year her affiliation came in handy when she was made a full member as she was active.
One member introduced her to a journalist who writes about gaming and agri-biz, and she profiled them. Since the article they started seeing a difference in their fortunes. Orders were now coming in and as per advice by the journalist to place an ad in their mag, they did and it sure added to their business growth. The dream of owning a game farm might be off but having a chain stores a plus that's better she thought alone. Patrice was on the way to being the man he was and neighbors started respecting him since Nancy's mother showed the article to some and word got out.
By year 5 they were having 2 stores. To her wildest dreams' surprise she got a slap of her bad past walk in to congratulate her in the shape of Eddy. He was a bottling plant rep and enjoying it but complaining about growth prospects being nil. She cared never to even introduce him to Patrice. Nearing her 34th and having moved out, they tried for a baby and soon they were lucky. Their brand, Encita, was growing but considering its market was very mild, were overjoyed that they ended up owning the factory where they manufactured their products from.

Their brand, Encita, was growing but considering its market was very mild, were overjoyed that they ended up owning the factory where they manufactured their products from.
At late 34 she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. To Patrice it was his third child. He has 2 with 2 different mothers and a good thing was his support for them. The very same month Nancy welcomed her first child, Eddy was reported to have been arrested in Tegucigalpa for theft of a company vehicle full with stock. He wanted to go and start his own business. He was after 3 months sentenced to 8 years. The friend who once closed the door on her for help stopped visiting and cut connection after her giving birth. When she hit her 40th, they were having 5 stores and content thus far with their milestone. Patrice celebrated his 44th by marrying her and on the eve of their anniversary the following year got shot during a robbery in one of their stores. Nancy met his 2 sons on the day of the burial and never seen or heard from them again...dp
Q_was it justifiable for Nancy to dump Eddy for his behavior? To you, was Eddy serious about their plan? Did Patrice loved Nancy for real and not been with her for benefit? Who's responsible behind the robbery and murder of Patrice?
Scenario 131
Riprot Group's worst performing brand was its clothing retail chain, TruSports, and as it's giving them headaches, have brought in the expertise of retail space specialist. With just over 33 years of success storyboarding to her name, Uiko Kosoyama, came in as a stranger into fashion retailing as she's been into Tokyo's industrial, automotive and telecommunications sector retailing. She's revered for streamlining a business.
51 years old, having started her career at a tender age of 18, she holds no tertiary qualification but armed with lots of insight into retailing. She told herself she could do it. With her name made she was yet to start again and build afresh. Riprot Group CEO asked for just one thing that he didn't want to know how but when, and that's sales turnaround. She put her neck on the guillotine and said she'll try in 12 months and if failed be 18, but if not, can be fired. She was sure of her success.
She visited the outlets anonymously a week before the formal announcement made. She made notes and knew where to slice first step in. On the day of the formal announcement she whispered to him that it wouldn't take much to reshape it. After the media divergence she went home to rest for the last time before long hours again. She's used to 14 hour days and that's her maximum, period.
Her first day was in her office to invite store managers to a casual conversation with her. All in all the group had 38 stores of TruSports. She had a frank talk with all of them and asked them to keep inventory to the minimum and let it point itself what sells and not. She asked they kept record of them and together they'll work through the stats what to keep and what not per region. That was a simple solution to the problem the stores had, a pile up of inventory that gets either parked in-store or stolen.
To management she advised they invest in automated inventory management system software for bettered tracking of their stock. Again, advised that they also invest in customer shopping trolleys that had budget check on them that are linked to the counter to make purchase from. Once the customer tabs or swipes or paid in cash at the designated cash paypoint will the packer know what to pack for them. Only cash paypoint gets a cashier as others don't have as they are automated. She lastly recommended for 3 more warehouses to push for speedier per region specific inventory availability.
At first it seemed a bit steep for their pockets but made sense. She engaged Human Capitals Director for a list of all the employees and sort them out by age. She made them invest in lower aged employees for new systems training and refresher training for the older ones. The HCD saw the benefit upon hearing her and assured management they're going to see reversal of unproductivity to best performance levels ever. He was excited about working with that woman. Uiko beat all other strategists that were recommended to them as being very qualified for the job, but nothing changed after pocketing big bucks. She was soft spoken, clear to understand, listening to others' views, better rounded, well read and travelled, approachable and proactive.
In just 5 months with all her recommendations adhered to and applied in the past 3 months, the Group CEO was hopeful. In 9 months customers were the dictators of what to stock, how much of it and where. The inventory was now manageable and with all that wasn't fast out pushed out through clearance discounts. The brand was picking up and the group hinted its support for the CEO in their AGM during her month 10 with them. They weren't profitable as yet but recovery vivid.

The brand was picking up and the group hinted its support for the CEO in their AGM during her month 10 with them. They weren't profitable as yet but recovery vivid.
Instead of using celebrities in TruSports campaigns, she drove it differently by inviting all those who wrote positive suggestions in their "Build Me 4 U" book to change minds of others. They were her top dictators in the brand's dictatorship programme instead of ambassadorship. Through that the stock gets picked by customers not fashion buyers wholly, fashion buyers supported what's dictated for and add to that with what they tailored for seasonal inventory, which was kept to the minimum and working wonders.
Adverts were truer to the customers as it were they whom were stars of the show. In 15 months TruSports was the best performing brand in the Riprot stable of brands. She went back to the Group CEO to assert herself. She but told him she won't be reviewing her employment with them as the challenges are getting lesser by the months and staying longer won't serve her any good. Her contract with them was for 3 years only and she was on 70% of her job already, in short it was an easy job and she won't survive going forth with idling on 'sustain status quo' mode or as she called it SSQ mode. She wants to work hard.
The Group CEO was now stressed out and made Uiko's feelings be known so in future he be not blamed for her departure from the position. He understands what she meant, the job wasn't that exciting going forward, and the ball thrown into the court for Riprot to add to her workload. The board sadly had nothing more exciting for her post the tenure. The Group CEO then pulled an old project put on ice for its cost and rightful candidate to see it through. He told them Uiko was to likely stay if she were to be thrown into the deeper ends of starting a totally new brand and lift it. They unanimously agreed.
At 25 months Uiko was starting to receive offers from different groups but felt nothing moved her. By then TruSports was the best sportswear retail brand and having just signed a major deal with the Japanese top tier football league, J1 League, to be their new outlet partner to merchandise their league's teams gears. TruSports was the sportswear merchant of choice and the shares of Riprot skyrocketed. Riprot bosses were flabbergasted by that deal. It was never imagined at all and she pulled it off to make them not only the leaders but giants at that.
Riprot reverted to her with a proposition to have her start a new chain called OGs which is targeted at older market. She was plain in her answer to them, "I just had a meeting with a new petroleum products manufacturer who's looking at a brand new retailer brand for their products and it sounds like what I can't resist". Asked whom they're, she said her lips were sealed by the NDA that she had already endorsed. The group was ruffed
up by the revelation.
With failure to get what makes her tick, the management called her back without informing the Group CEO and offered her a counter offer. She told them they clearly missed the mark, and asked where the Group CEO was as he gets her all the time and that they weren't winning her with their approach. To her it became clear that even if she were to consider their opportunity as an option, they didn't cared to know her the way the Group CEO displayed his valuing of her. She later called the Group CEO to inform her of her final decision and with regret apologized and secured a timely appointment with her the same evening.
The two had a work dinner and he gave her an answer as to her question of why's he different from his board. He told her that him and Uiko were of the same woolen frame and class, thus he's underestimated at times and same done to that day given how they handled her matter. They had other plans for her outlined to her by him but all landing on deaf ears however he tried. Uiko got to understand that the Group CEO was used to that bad treatment and she can't stand it at all. It was out they didn't care about her but for lining their own pockets. They after their work dinner parted.

They after their work dinner parted.
She then the following day after making up her mind called the petroleum company. The HCD was busy evaluating the staff morale during the whole tenure of Ms Kosoyama, and happy with the progress thus far and thinking of drafting a request for her contract renewal given how staff performs currently vs previously, how leave forms were filed less, whilst warnings, day-offs and disciplinary hearings, were all a thing of the past. Her approach was clearly a skill of admiration. He called her to ask her to check her email of the progress before sending it to management, and she said she was aware of good inter-relations between colleagues and but was shocked and proud of what they had achieved collectively. She before saying bye, prepped him to the shock that's coming in the coming weeks regarding her career. He thanked her and promised to keep it under wraps with enthusiasm.
A good 10 weeks before expiration of her contract, surprised everyone at TruSports and other brands of Riprot Group when it was announced that Uiko Kosoyama is leaving TruSports and joining a newly founded investment house, Premium Tag Holdings (PTH) as its President and Jean-Pierre Rinau, the now outgoing Riprot Group CEO, as its Chairman. Uiko had to self a lushy stake of 54% to celebrate the fall of her 53 years in to her 54th year. Chairman Rinau held onto 16% to cement their majority shareholding in it. The other 2 partner parties split the 40% in 25/15 spoils, 25% to Prodan Bank and 15% to Yamato Family Holdings.
The news were devastating to the group as they were using the Group CEO to set them up with suitable talent for their high level placements, and was working well hand in glove with the HCD who by then was eyeing a position in that vibrancy promising environment. As the Group CEO of the day still at Riprot, Jean-Pierre sourced for them a good replacement for Uiko in Luis de Leyo of Zipit and a possible starter of OGs in Hini Zo, the top earning female CEO in Asian listed companies.
Namekua Sowamo, ex COO of Tokyo Bay's based Delta Petroleums was appointed as the CEO of U Recharge docking stations, which was a new age filling station but only for EVs and hybrids. Each station has 24 docking plugs for 18 cars and 6 for lorries. Due to the time spent recharging, the station has different outlets for various activities and are all owned by PTH. You find pre-paid showers called U Wash, U Wear which sells their own branded apparel, food outlet called U Eat, U Play where you find a host of gaming machines and other time pushing entertainment, and U Bet (which generates the most in the U Outlets pool). U Outlets was headed by Oda Tanaka who's the ex M.D. of Trill Hop, an Osaka fashion startup.
HCD's JPX IPO was set at JPY 4.58 and by first day their intra-day trading trended upwards to the North region of JPY 11.06 by closing bell. It rose because in just 6 months the group hinted at its own crypto coin, PremiumTag coin or PT coin, and another winner for their model was crypto token convertor which allows you to cash your part or all of your crypto value to cash or virtual cash, while services were paid for in all payment methods including crypto swipes. They revolutionized the energy sector in a way never thought before and were awarded with respect and consumer loyalty.
Riprot Group finally understood what a gem combination they had but just didn't put in much effort into retaining. But then again, their thinking was too big for their vision, hence Uiko put it to them it's not as exciting for her to stay longer. They were grateful she graced their hot seat and brought in sustainable changes that left a huge difference to their status and growth.
As for HCD, their growth surpassed all expectations and predictions by the all knowing analysts as they grew with upper double digits m/m. In just a space of 2 years, U Recharge and U Outlets were expanded from the initial launch of 6 docking stations to 17 and still developing. They strategically embarked on a plan to morph up and had managed that growth rapidity by buying into realty developers per their footprint pathways. Uiko Kosoyama was in 4 months from then reported to be a US$ billionaire and with Jean-Pierre Rinau as playing in the region of US$ 650m by Forbes rich list rankings, and HCD worth a bulging US$ 8,63 billion.

The news were devastating to the group as they were using the Group CEO to set them up with suitable talent for their high level placements, and was working well hand in glove with the HCD who by then was eyeing a position in that vibrancy promising environment. As the Group CEO of the day still at Riprot, Jean-Pierre sourced for them a good replacement for Uiko in Luis de Leyo of Zipit and a possible starter of OGs in Hini Zo, the top earning female CEO in Asian listed companies.
Namekua Sowamo, ex COO of Tokyo Bay's based Delta Petroleums was appointed as the CEO of U Recharge docking stations, which was a new age filling station but only for EVs and hybrids. Each station has 24 docking plugs for 18 cars and 6 for lorries. Due to the time spent recharging, the station has different outlets for various activities and are all owned by PTH. You find pre-paid showers called U Wash, U Wear which sells their own branded apparel, food outlet called U Eat, U Play where you find a host of gaming machines and other time pushing entertainment, and U Bet (which generates the most in the U Outlets pool). U Outlets was headed by Oda Tanaka who's the ex M.D. of Trill Hop, an Osaka fashion startup.
HCD's JPX IPO was set at JPY 4.58 and by first day their intra-day trading trended upwards to the North region of JPY 11.06 by closing bell. It rose because in just 6 months the group hinted at its own crypto coin, PremiumTag coin or PT coin, and another winner for their model was crypto token convertor which allows you to cash your part or all of your crypto value to cash or virtual cash, while services were paid for in all payment methods including crypto swipes. They revolutionized the energy sector in a way never thought before and were awarded with respect and consumer loyalty.
Riprot Group finally understood what a gem combination they had but just didn't put in much effort into retaining. But then again, their thinking was too big for their vision, hence Uiko put it to them it's not as exciting for her to stay longer. They were grateful she graced their hot seat and brought in sustainable changes that left a huge difference to their status and growth.
As for HCD, their growth surpassed all expectations and predictions by the all knowing analysts as they grew with upper double digits m/m. In just a space of 2 years, U Recharge and U Outlets were expanded from the initial launch of 6 docking stations to 17 and still developing. They strategically embarked on a plan to morph up and had managed that growth rapidity by buying into realty developers per their footprint pathways. Uiko Kosoyama was in 4 months from then reported to be a US$ billionaire and with Jean-Pierre Rinau as playing in the region of US$ 650m by Forbes rich list rankings, and HCD worth a bulging US$ 8,63 billion.
Their executive vision was simple, invest in alternative energy and less energy consuming projects, and also in 4 - 5 star green energy developments. They challenged the norm of thought and encouraged innovation. HCD elected to not renewing his contract with Riprot in favour of greenhouse pastures at HCD, of which he was welcomed and placed still in talent management and human capital development department. He was lost for a sec but in a minute caught on...dp
Q_to you, what was wrong with Riprot Group's board members' attitude? What's your innovative idea that's funding ready? Is there a future in HCD's payment gateway method?
Scenario 130
"Silence from a competitor a loud alarm to your flat footedness or your moves are read as important to their next take" said one partner at Hyff, during a presentation to a client which was proposing a merger with the other. Their client was torn between a 50 each split or a 51/49 split, and about whom to be the majority and whom the minority.
As the executive partner, Candoe Al Ahmad went through the background of their predicament and also pros and cons of their stalemate on the deal. He showed them that in their situation they are faced with two value carrying wagons that are but not easy to see as of value same in that the client has hoards of cash pile while the other less cash but in possession of valuable assets. Again, the client is struggling with penetration into other markets, which is the main reason for the major, extending footprint. But then, not having time and expertise to penetrate.
On the other hand, the target has the market, store presence, sound reputation but with debt still to pay up for their offline outlets presence. The solution Hyff came up with was that the two go 49/51 in favour of the client, and but to appease their shareholders by retaining the full corporate stripes of the target with theirs as a highlighter. The client's CEO to be its Group CEO while the target CEO to be the Group M.D. The client loved that and instantly got to a video call to start with the negotiations, which to their surprise, all terms agreed to in just a first-round call.
The next issue was to strengthen their balance sheet, which Candoe introduced his partner Deviar Hussein for debt origination structures and were faced with three options; 1_via proceeds of equity issuance in the form of ordinary or preference shares, 2_ via cash generated internally, 3_via incurring interest-bearing or non-interest bearing debt. The client went for debt option is expensive and maybe require re-financing. Their offer to the client was all of the money with suretyship assurance mated to a conditional 7.5% equity deal.
The next morning Candoe and Deviar were prepping for their fly out to Dubai for a meeting with the target's legal and corporate finance team to iron out finer details. Per normal, Candoe starts his day at 5 a.m while Deviar a bit later at 6:15 when his alarm clock rings as he stays near their workplace. But today's a different province to stroll:

The following morning he went to the office late, reason being a visit for update on the latest to his muse at Sednaya Prison where his brother is a ghost detainee. The house in which Candoe stays in in Ghouta, Damascus, belongs to him. He left it under his care when he was detained. His brother is mostly joined by fellow ghost detainees, whom together make the number of his musae to 9.
In there they live well and the rest don't get any visitors as their families don't even know whether they're still alive or dead. His brother belonged to the Dead Awoke Coders Society, the deliverer of his fate. He was the society's leader and the only survived member. They used to break codes of government and big corporations and intercept intelligentsia communication. All members were eliminated and left him for use by state to fight against other hackers. As a corporate lawyer, he fought tooth and nail to gain access to him until he got it.
Other detainees are highly intelligent academics from various backgrounds and countries. The government of Syria spared them too for the same purpose as Candoe's brother. What's comforting to him is that he knows he's got a chance to be with his ghost family one hour once every second week. And also, to his less worries is the care they're given in there. They stay in decency, comfortably and with all amenities that they need to stay abreast with current technology and new trends so they remain useful to the state. He knows there's no way they'll be taken out of that circular quay.
Through his brother's directive, Candoe went to do a commercial law degree to be a debt originator of difference. He can assess the applicant's financial status and structure a deal that puts him in and negotiate for the applicant a win-win solution to make him cash for free, like be a surety instead of lender while be also an equity partner in the lower end of the value link. He's learned to be good at smoothing relations and forging a way to paying self for doing that.
After the visit he'd normally pass by their mother's gravesite but today couldn't because of the heavy rain. He's a lone wolf that but leads a vicious pack which to them cardinal sins are a quality virtue not a qualifying vice. He has no life partner, no friend, no close kinship bond, and no confidant, only a business partner he puts near for idea bouncing and gray tension relief, thus knowing nil about his life.
One bright Sunday afternoon while at a park, he saw a beautiful figurine and out of interest waved at. She was a hottie. He introduced himself and had a long flowing conversation. He asked her out if free the following day and they had a good time. Her name, Eilema El Hadi and worked as a shale gas extractor in Kuwait, and was home on annual plus compassionate leave after the loss of her mother. He lost himself in her because of their common loss, and for the first time in his life cried for his loss for his mother. Eilema loved him irreversibly, for it was a first for her and him too.

He asked her out if free the following day and they had a good time. Her name, Eilema El Hadi and worked as a shale gas extractor in Kuwait, and was home on annual plus compassionate leave after the loss of her mother. He lost himself in her because of their common loss, and for the first time in his life cried for his loss for his mother. Eilema loved him irreversibly, for it was a first for her and him too.
As a natural demisexual he fell for her, the feeling which went mutually attested. With passion growing by the retirement of newness to one another, Eilema asked Candoe to not judge her for what she kept from him in wait for the perfect moment. She told him that she's androgynous. Said for the whole of her life she struggled with having friends because of her penumbra identity. Just for that, he went numb and knelt down slowly with eyes closed in quietness. She was lost for words, regretful and retracing her footsteps. She was about to burst in cry and then turned around when she heard his voice say, "so, why's she leaving me now? Or maybe she's not the one?" and she ran to him with a big hug and a first time kiss.
On that evening they never left each other's side, and Eilema for her first-ever time in her life unwrapped her cotton leaf from her waist and freely paraded her fullness in front of the eye that judged not and glowed with happiness. He on the other hand never had sighted a prim bared sole. The night aged harmoniously in unison with the sampladelic effect strummed to no end.
They woke up late and the day was last for her in Syria. She promised she's coming back for him. It was clear she was fully head over heels for him. Candoe was too deep into her that he gave it a week of calls with her that he flew to be with her for the weekend, something that was unusual of him to do as he was ever at work. The two were so into each other that they married in just four weeks of knowing each other. Their emotional connection was too deep for anyone to understand, they loved honestly and without shame and pride.
Eilema through connections of Candoe got a job back home. They stayed together and one day negotiated for her to go in to meet his brother, and he loved her instantly. A last minute decision to look into the faces of all her husband's musae Eilema was shocked to discover that her first-year professor wasn't dead and was healthier and well. The two had only three minutes to catch up, her regret. They got out and vowed to tell no sole to let Candoe keep seeing his brother. The detainees were hopeful that one day they too will get to meet someone whom they know.
Hyff was growing and Candoe slowly got a wife to go home and a different life to live aside from work, but having her by his side sharpened him more than ever to chase and close bigger and better deals. Eilema got cred by staff for being the only woman who conquered the heart of the Hyff center of power. The couple, in their early thirties adopted a son and over the years together groomed him for the role of CEO one day.
Eilema resigned later on to go into business as a gas refill and supply depot operator and named it after their son, Cisau. Candoe kept sealing deals and financing debt until his son disappointed him by following in the footsteps of his mother and joined Cisau Gas Depot, but happy he was still within family confines. A sad day came when upon his visit to discuss a cross-cultural deal with his brother to find that he passed on. That very week, he resigned from Hyff and went on to join his family in their smaller business and together grew it while using dividends from Hyff to boost its hybrid growth...dp
Q_can you define debt origination concept? How was the relationship between Deviar and Candoe? Why did Eilema regretted selling self out to Candoe? Why did Candoe resign after his brother's death?

Scenario 129
Her yellow pencil heels, with a hotsteppa light was everything to get her the spotlight she wanted to create for her label, $U$ ($tepUp$is). White, orange, yellow, red, sea blue, zebra print and leopard print, her 7 bright colours in her range. $U$ shoes can be recognizable quickly by the translucent heel bottom before the sole, which gets lit when you step. The range is indeed one of a kind for the industry.
Bernice Sousa is an alpha female and a brunt feminist. She is a divorcee with two boys who blame her everyday for leaving their father and letting him marry someone else after. Bernice is fighting so hard to get her label out there as she got no one to push for her. She put all her life savings into the startup with the hope of making it in two years at least, but now in year five, her sales still not attracting any investment decision to back her.
The position she's in is sad and trying with all her might to cover it. The factory space she manufactures from is kept by a shaming arrangement with the owner of the property. At first she wanted to give him a piece of the pie in the form of a 20% stake but he declined and had her agree to a different piece of the pie instead. Bernice out of desperation agreed to the arrangement. She has a kife affair with the property owner who was supposed to be her lessor. She's just grateful that she pays a third of what was her initial rent.
As it worked out with the property owner, Bernice thought it could work everywhere, a mistake she made when one curious broker expressed his interest in her startup. On the day of the meeting she went without any garment under so it be easier for her to dizzy the broker with her mounted assets. When the guy asked tough questions she started spreading her legs and pulling her skirt up to expose the golden goodies. What she missed was the man was gay and gave her a compliment and asked if they could reschedule if she's feeling otherwise.
With shame she apologized for her bad behaviour but to her surprise the broker told her she's got a good structure. The broker played it professionally. He told her he thought she might have forgotten to wear her undies and her moves to him thought to be part of what she was to show as her modelling routine to show off her heels fully. She was amazed at how he spun it off. Still not seeing he's not moved by her moves, she told him they can be a formidable team and she'll reward him satisfactorily if he agreed to her offer. He got up and told her that her desperation is the reason she's going no where fast. Told her he doesn't eat fish full time, and drools at dips in shallow ponds between two rounded hills, making it clear he's no longer interested. The broker was wishing to invest but she blocked that.
Left alone in her office, still reeling from the mess she put self in, the landlord came in without a knock and thrown himself at her. He told her how he missed her smell and gentle touch, and that he's got 40 minutes to spare with her. His hand rubbing allover her body, he whispered, "I can tell you've been long ready for me" and started caressing more. After those minutes he left her sad, empty and wanting out of that arrangement as it is a damage to her success. It made her think it's the only way but today saw it's not.

After those minutes he left her sad, empty and wanting out of that arrangement as it is a damage to her success. It made her think it's the only way but today saw it's not.
She dressed and went out in search of that broker. Her mistake was not take his business card when she had the chance to. She came back with no success. She went online and found him through social media platforms. She learned a few things from his accounts what he does, where he's from and what he wants to do next. She sent him a direct message and he responded in real time. Bernice didn't know what to say forth as she didn't expect that. He showed again what a seasoned professional he was and fired the convo that ended up lasting 84 short minutes.
The broker, Djalma Iglesias a.k.a DI, felt it in him to give her a second try. They met in two days time and the meeting was directed and they got a way forward. She was hopeful. DI was a partner to a bi-guy, Hornely Squno, a Wicca at heart who was eager to meet her. The next meeting was in the coming week and Hornely couldn't wait and went online to chat to her for a down low meet and greet. It happened and ended up with her in his bed the very same afternoon. It remained their taboo till the official meeting in which they pretended to be seeing each other for the first time, and but DI didn't buy it.
The meeting went well and they agreed on scooping 35% of the business and had it move premises to an upmarket and trendy industrial site. It became clear to her that they were now seen as big cargo trucks frequented the area and the traffic generating walk-inns. Proper branding also did wonders. Soon she was invited out to meet with other apparel manufacturing players in the country. Her life was starting to take a different shape and approach.
After coming back from the second fixture, she sat her partners down and told them she's reconsidering their setup and wishing they were equal partners. The partners didn't answer same time but promised to call her later though never did. She thought they'll do the following day but again no. On the third day came to be with her and reminded her it's her pride and joy, her legacy, and should think of her kids too before entertaining some thoughts, especially ones like that one. It became apparent to her that they were fine with the stake they held. They told her that they however after reviewing her tempting immature and rushed offer, were considering it it were 40 to 45, so she retain majority. With a sad face she shook on 45% to them.
The partners understood it came from a good place but not sustainable for her. It was a good day at the office. One day DI followed Hornely with a hired car and saw him enter the factory and went through the backdoor to eavesdrop on them. He was vindicated by that and out he got. Days went by and he started an issue that forced Hornely to take his side but couldn't and instead left him hanging on the fence. He asked what was on as he knows Hornely's position on such issues in business. No answer came forward.
He told them his suspicion and both denied without looking him in the eye. He told them he's pulling out because they both aren't to be trusted. The partnership was going up in smoke right before their eyes and only them can save the situation by a confession. Bernice nodded and Hornely shook in denial, and DI bid his farewell to them and in the next hour forwarded his corporate divorce papers to show his seriousness. Hornely still didn't want to say and a half hour later he called her asking for their signatures. She was broken as she knew that the head for their business was with DI not him and now it got to her having to choose between the two of them. She called back and told him she'll sell the rest of her shares to him as he had the head for that business not Hornely, and that DI can have another partner with any loaded person like Hornely and push the business forward. Hearing that, he upped and left after signing the papers. Bernice was full of regret for what she did with Hornely as she figured they too had a kife of their own.

Days went by and he started an issue that forced Hornely to take his side but couldn't and instead left him hanging on the fence. He asked what was on as he knows Hornely's position on such issues in business. No answer came forward.
He told them his suspicion and both denied without looking him in the eye. He told them he's pulling out because they both aren't to be trusted. The partnership was going up in smoke right before their eyes and only them can save the situation by a confession. Bernice nodded and Hornely shook in denial, and DI bid his farewell to them and in the next hour forwarded his corporate divorce papers to show his seriousness. Hornely still didn't want to say and a half hour later he called her asking for their signatures. She was broken as she knew that the head for their business was with DI not him and now it got to her having to choose between the two of them. She called back and told him she'll sell the rest of her shares to him as he had the head for that business not Hornely, and that DI can have another partner with any loaded person like Hornely and push the business forward. Hearing that, he upped and left after signing the papers. Bernice was full of regret for what she did with Hornely as she figured they too had a kife of their own.
Days later, Bernice called DI for a proper meeting around how they should handle the split and how the transfer would be. DI told her he's still in the process of finalising his separation from Hornely, as he's starting his own investment firm, Capital Vestments. Bernice waited until he was done and he showed up for her beseech. On the day she said a mouthful beating round the bush in regret and DI all the time showing no sign of emotion, and in a turn of events asked her why she was quitting.
She out of being perplexed freezed for a sec and said that it's because she heard him say he's quitting. As if she didn't say anything, asking her what she really want to happen for her? Said she wanted to be a successful entrepreneur and have her sons look up to her. He lastly asked how she planned to be that, and she cried. He reminded her that crying won't give her that, and only what she knows best will help her achieve that, and she held his thigh aggressively and with a soft tone whispered to him, "this is the best how for me" with eyes locked into his. He was quiet and watched her do her best to secure her success story.
She struggled with him but in the end got him warmed up. She revved up with reverse lights on and the rear view magic happened. He couldn't resist. They had a productive session and new history was written during that capriccio unconjugal communion commerce episcene in recta ratio. She knew to like his hood and blanket the newness to her grounds sledged by a sheathed scorpion leg. The experienced hosting bore a new retake on the venture as ink coloured paper for a founding merger of creativity versed coupling. $U$ got a lift it didn't enjoy in the first half, and developed into a brand that sold tons of shoes the continent over beyond Paraguay as originally envisioned. Capital Vestments didn't grow much because of DI's focus on $U$.
Q_is an equity deal for space a viable option when starting out? Do you blame or condone Bernice's behaviour? Was is the sexual orientation of DI?

Scenario 128
Juan Panaikos is a very favoured man by any standards of measuring wealth. He had a string of ties with numerous small business owners because his institution was a consultancy to many in Greece. As a senior consultant in his firm, he made connections with brokerage firms, banks, bridge financiers, debt originators, serial investors, etc, big players in the pool of financial powers to help his clients. Juan was but still to an average person an approachable listener who empathetic, polite and patient.
He married a good leader of a woman in Liz Bretnakov who never changed her last name for security related reasons. On their honeymoon they spent half a day at the ship wreck at Zakynthos white sands before flying out to catch mysterious and breathtaking views of Mount Roraima in Guyana and later to Shanghai. Their matrimonial ceremony wasn't an "out of the ordinary" one, they'd splashed on their honeymoon, it was unforgettable for her. They went alone leaving their two daughters, Raika and Elina behind.
Instead of buying luxury cars, yatchs and pvt jets, he bought a big bold silver-grey lorry that he pimped. The vehicle had a home trailer. The second big mobility property he bought was a 40 meter long 8 bladed Russian helicopter that's rated as the last number in helicopter sizes. He had it fully customized. It's interior was designed for work, family and group stay and that made it unique and desirable. By nature, Juan loved big things and his wife supported him in that. Liz unlike him, drives an SUV and a twin cab bakkie. She loved driving and he enjoyed flying.
Tired of staying in their hotel, the middle aged couple bought a long avoided and abandoned island, Satakta, which to date known as "the feared island of death" just a stone's throw away from the shores of coastal land to renovate and convert into an income home. The once state owned wrestling powerspace boasted an old dilapidated 168 000 capacity arena with a 20 400 capacity hall on the side, 36 underground holding cells for wrestlers, a large-scale boat docking berth, traders' stalls, and an acres forest where they dumped the lifeless bodies of the losers. During its days none except knights who stood guard all night and prisoned fighters spent the night there. It was regarded as sacred.
After 2 years of work on it, their mega structured home is without doubt one of a kind in the world. The self-cleaning roof is a dome shaped bi-powered retractable glass shell structure with opulent office space for rental, a block for Satakta only exclusive premium brand stores and the hall converted into a one-of-a-kind club and bar that has a setup like no other in the world, in the outer sparsely patched space a lodge built to reduce forestation and an underground restaurant where patrons dined in rusted cells. Their home which maketh part of the lodge, gives splendid 3 storey 360° panoramic views of the ocean and other islands and islets, plus eyots as it rotates twice in 24 hours. Power grid is a mix of solar energy via panels on the rooftops and wind turbines for times of mega power usage, while fresh water supply is via a new high tech desalination plant.
They stand to make money from their home through tourists, tenants, shopping space, advertising space, high impact events, broadcasting rights and name selling rights, sponsorship deals, and the huge parking extended to accommodate 7 000 cars at once and a huge helipad court for up to 44 landing zones. The island was connected to the coast via a 715 meter lightweight interlock floating bridge with controlled access system. At completion, the project left them as near start multi-thousandaires. Juan was glad in that all the contractors who partake in the renovation were from the database of his clients and none disappointed in their timelines. He was proud of them.

Juan was glad in that all the contractors who partake in the renovation were from the database of his clients and none disappointed in their timelines. He was proud of them.
On the day of the official launch, famous faces graced the blue carpet and media came out in numbers to cover the spectacular wonder of a home. Liz was busy with guests especially the media as she enjoys attention naturally and Juan on the other hand was into thick of things with finalizations of deals. By fall of day into night, Juan and his team were celebrating 95% in banked considerations from all signed and sealed deals. One offer was declined from one billionaire who wanted to fork out € 1,5 billion for the island. It was a dream for them as owners same as it were for any attendee on the day.
The sales made on the first day showed to them that it was all worth it. In the coming weeks different signage boards were donning brands for advertising and other awareness related campaigns. The island was slowly coming back to life. In 3 months they were going through proposals for tv shows, movie sets, live stream events, advert shoots, extreme sports gaming, etc, and that Juan let Liz lead in that. She drew a projects sequence schedule and he was okay with her judgment.
They hosted events that were out of the ordinary. Satakta events were superb, be it sports based or fashion or party, they just nailed it. Per quarter they could easily make € 64 million in net revenue. It became the new powerhouse of the rich and famous to meet and have meetings in the underground restaurant plus there was a newly discovered and converted space underground too which was a bunker now a mega boardroom that seats up to 80 at a go. Its bespoke carved polished Walnut S-shaped table had an individual mini-hologram projector for each chair. People flew from far as UAE for their experience there. A design endogenous was the cow dung mix with alkaline that was highlighted by clear gloss finish to give it a glass look. It was a dream meeting haven indeed.
Satakta had a lot to offer. Liz has a studio engineer stepbrother, Nikioni a.k.a Bittos, who worked at String Bar Studios, suggested they build a post-production studio they'd make serious money. With no hesitation, a titanium structure was fabricated at a factory in mainland Greece and an opening dug for its plowing into the sandy ground. It only took a week and a half to construct everything and equipping it. The studio was up and ready for public recordings in just two weeks. It's design was simple, in the ground 95% and the remaining 5% was for the base of building a volleyball/tennis 2in1 court atop the studio.
The day the studio had its first official recording session, there was a wager game on which genre the first song would be. The whole moment was captured and streamed live in real time. It was exciting to see and feel. Satakta Studios trended through that, especially on the day a week later when it was reported that Jrugov was confirmed to be having a date at Satakta Studios. The equipment in there made men cry with overwhelming excitement. The outboard gear, dubbed "The naked rack" was transparent throughout with themed background lights coming through was just magic, an other world on its own. The sound quality, the quietness inside, you could easily forget that out there exists a court atop the studio.
When working you won't run out of your poison sort, legal and illegal you were in a safe creative haven. To access the studio you have to enter into a cavernous passage found behind the artificial waterfalls feature on the pool side. The hype around the studio saw bookings set for international stars to have their projects edited, mixed and mastered there.
The 8,96 km x 5,13 km island gave birth to the culture of people buying islands and islets for pvt commercialization. For many it was discovered it takes a lot to make success out of that and gave up, but neighbors started mushrooming. By the first half of the 2nd year Satakta was raking in a cool massive € 28 million in a month. For their marriage to stay strong, Juan let Liz manage the entire affairs of their household, and on their relationship front it did wonders.

Named J68 Consulting, 68 was the total of their ages combined, 32 and 36 when it was established. The consultancy was doing better than ever, given the profiling of Satakta that made him an interestingly hot property in the industry. Everyone wanted to give him their slice's share so as to afford the time in his eyes and space. Investors in securing their favours' worth were saying yes to 85+% of Idea Plans he drafted for his clients, while that in turn meant he was becoming more and more expensive to consult with, but the results were his bet. J68 grew not only in revenue, but so was its footprint. They opened branches in all major and minor cities and towns of Greece.
Liz wasn't caring of that growth traction Juan was making until the day she saw on the news her husband appearing as a guest in the Fin Zone, a programme she knew he loved watching and dreamt of appearing on. She was wowed, proud and excited for him living his dream. She was also taken aback by the claim they put on her husband's own worth before that of his consultancy. It on that day emerged through live broadcast that her husband's personal worth was just below the € 430 million mark and his firm at € 1,97 billion mark, at the time of business on the day. She from that day learned to respect her children's father more as he was making serious moves towards his principal goal of being a billionaire. As for her, she just wanted a soft life with a husband who's loving and caring for her and their kids.
Q_would you turn your homestead into such a place? What's your ideal place of comfort for you and your family? Does owning an island sound to you?

Scenario 127
When you think of packaging and distribution, Oddron Pack & D comes first to mind. The Oddo family were the leaders in that field. Their main offices were rooted in Netherlands, at Oud-West in Amsterdam. The family's mansion is on a hill and built in an O shape, and took a whole 16 months to complete in 2010 just before the Fifa World Cup tournament in South Africa. Its construction is of concrete, steel, wood, rubber and glass, with titanium trim finishings. The level of opulence charging the luxury fittings in there a dream caught in afined fixtures.
Their wealth was a fourth generational catchment and not showing any signs of failing anytime soon unless the fifth generation decided otherwise. The Oddos were generating their wealth from their distribution network and warehousing services. The good thing about their distribution is that they cover logistics via a mixed fleet of leased rail, flight, shipping and heavy road transport. All those modes gives them peace of mind in that they shift maintenance to the owners. The movable property inventory that they own are local delivery motor bicycles only.
Oddron Pack & D just got into e-commerce sales and making some serious meal of it in that they now charged for their entire value chain. Their warehousing services charged for storage facilities, sorting and prepping of goods like ironing of apparel and packing, packaging and dispatching. Distribution was good as goods were moved in bulk yet paid per item and that was profitable. The online sales were really proving to be recession proof.
As a family business, with majority share held by two families, the conticent Oddos with 42.5% and the witty Effrons owning 19.5%, the Effrons are the pre-war friends of the Oddos. What's striking though, is the fact that the Effrons are in charge of their brand. All the three boys and one girl in the Oddo family don't want to be part of the daily running but are all on the con board. The Group CEO is Elias Effron while the CMO is Lisa De Vries nee Effron. Elias grew up in the Oddos household and it was a given that they will favour him over Lisa for the CEO job, plus having her married a dynamic that threw her out worse.
Their great-great grandparents were from an agricultural background and saw the opportunity that layed bare in supply of their produce to the market in that they depended on one rail company to move their cargo. The two families teamed up and bought a truck after the Oddos started the revolution with two wagons and the rest is history. Skipping to today, 389 year-old Oddron Pack & D is a big company that is trusted and recognized globally with 71 346 strong staff with operations in 52 countries in all continents.
The mood of festivity was reigning as the company was turning 390 in two months. The pressure was mounting on what's next for the upcoming decade into the 400 years milestone. What Elias did was creation of an app for multiple OSs for mobile, STBs and desktops devices. It was launched on the day of the big bang celebration. The app was simply named OddronApp. Another cool addition was to the website, it was added a mascot for improved contact with users and clients. In just twelve hours of launch, change eclipsed hype as strong show of sales became an order of the new rise.
Seeing that their company was now into the new age, the eldest in the Oddos said he's ready to be part of the day to day setup. Elias with excitement sat down with him to find the suitable position for him, and they both agreed with him being in the group executive directorship suite as the Group COO as already the Group MD position off shelves. Obvious to Elias, after hearing his plans and strategy to be implemented, he was at the rightful place as they'll sprite formidably. Known to his family, at that level, their heads were spinning. The Oddos weren't happy at all. They knew trouble was brewing where Espen was involved. Sad thing was Elias never grew close to him because of age gap, as he grew up close to Ludwig who's the third born.

The Oddos weren't happy at all. They knew trouble was brewing where Espen was involved. Sad thing was Elias never grew close to him because of age gap, as he grew up close to Ludwig who's the third born.
Espen was naturally an easygoing person but loving to cut corners in all that he did, hence the stress attacking the family. He did a tour of all their facilities and that was at a hefty tag as he slept in expensive hotels and choosing to fly with private charter planes. He made his notes to his team and rallied everything to Elias who was against some of the points touched on for review. He started noticing that he made a mistake putting him in that position. His recommendations alone were a heartbeat raiser.
Elias engaged the Group CFO and she too wasn't happy about the report from the new man around town. She called a sit-in with him but it wasn't to be, the man was dead sure he's got a winner in his bag. The following day the Group CFO tendered her resignation and started serving her notice. Elias was now worrying at a much higher rate. Espen wanted to use a new thinner box for packages, to stop wrapping up some items with bubble wrap, to stop ironing and packing apparel and centralize the command center and the nerve center. The cost of that move a serious commitment to consider but then he wasn't the person to reason with. He was always about staff reduction and marginal increase.
Because of his respect for him, Elias was too forced to tender his resignation and so did his sister, Lisa. The consumers were never at the top of the new main man's priority list, and he fought the board to assume the position of Group CEO. Putting their feet down, they had their choice and that person for the first time in their history, was from outside. The company was quickly deformed and via his changes, the traffic was declining and sales volumes trending in nose dive mode and still he was unfazed. The new Group CEO didn't last long, just five months in she was out with immediate effect.
The giant player was becoming a shadow of itself. Complaints were coming in all directions for quality of goods couriered to them, wrong colours and sizes, billing errors and other operational flops. He slowly brought to the fore appointees that agreed with him and demoted those not. It took only a space of two years and Oddron was starting to frustrate him as they were no longer meeting datelines for payments and the Effron family elected to officially bow out by selling off all of their shares in the company in favour of buying a new disruptive tech start-up, RiffUpp.
RiffUpp was so thrilled to have both Lisa and Elias in their team. At Oddron, shareholders sold en mass and 400 years was a dream flying away from them. Staff was at 34 670 and staff turnover a shock to those close to them as the number was busy spiralling down. It was at the end of the first quarter of their 394 years that they decided to force the bull out the kraal by firing their brother, albeit a late order to be honest. None on the board could turn the business around and at only 26 037 staff by then, the best possible solution being to surrender and sell the business to those who're capable as they didn't attract any new sharp appointees into the team.
Within a week they were in talks with an Arab consortium and an agreement was inked. It was a sad day indeed for the family as they failed the next generation because of one wrong deployee whom they were having enough trouble to deal with and now out into the job market themselves. With his cut, Espen bought out a struggling media house and folded his arms and stood content in the corner as its Chairman only. His name held cred to the blind and worthless to the economically woke. He was quiet and through sheer luck thanks for his recap it grew and his family name saved face by that. Lucky for him was that he bet on people who were his direct opposite. The Oddos family remains a wealthy family through silent holdings here and there, and but it was obvious being billionaires a pipe dream stuffed smog wishes escaped out of.
In three years RiffUpp was challenging the big players and enjoying global stage attention. With pressure from the Arabs, the CIO of Oddron jumped ship into the RiffUpp camp and a revolution was now mobilized. Oddron was just another player and its heritage kept it afloat but new players like RiffUpp and Flipcom were wreaking havoc.
The Effron family remained friends to the Oddos but not that close as before, and due to his bright side, Elias availed an opportunity for them through stock dilution to rescue their family history and relationship. It indeed worked and but as for Espen, his pride wouldn't let him be a part of the renewed undertaking going on. The Oddos were staggered to discover that the Flipcom outfit is the brainchild of Elias and Lisa, and were 70% holders thereof. It turned them into billionaires in four years while the impact of RiffUpp also a whole lot of money spinning occurring in their midst, and were grateful for. They bought 15% and set the Effrons back at 50% of RiffUpp.
With both entities, the Effron empire grew from €438 million to €17 billion in just a space of eight years. The stress dogging the Oddos is the tax bill after the Group CFO, as she was never replaced and the fin compliance left to tend itself. It was a real mistake Espen got to be included in the team. But thanks to Elias and Lisa hope is in the horizon.
Q_why did the Oddos not voice their worries behind-the-scenes about Espen's appointment? Would you do what Elias and Lisa did to save their families relationship? What do you think Flipcom do?
The Effron family remained friends to the Oddos but not that close as before, and due to his bright side, Elias availed an opportunity for them through stock dilution to rescue their family history and relationship. It indeed worked and but as for Espen, his pride wouldn't let him be a part of the renewed undertaking going on.

Scenario 126
Her uncle's wedding went as planned and everything done the way she promised in their agreement. Elinah Menjez is an up and coming wedding planner of note. Her clients were recommending her after her successful hosting for them. Her boyfriend, Leno Ozarro is a known craps man. He doesn't know anything else than that, and he does it well. Good thing to their relationship is the support they give one another without judging or pretence.
Leno met Elinah at an adult shop and by then she was still working there. Because of liking what he saw then started frequenting until she made time outside of work and met with him. After work she worked as the late night queen and Leno started off as a buyer and soon became a regular. Then one night he bought time to be with her for a talk and nothing else. It was on that night that the two became a pair.
Leno is a gambler, he rolls dices and line up bets to make his living. Once he and Elinah were an item, he doubled his efforts so as to make killings that'll make him afford her and uproot her out of that life she's in. The thought of him and her in a setup together motivated him every other day he woke up and went out. He really loved her with all his heart and soul and wanting to be with her.
Then, one good rainy day he felt like not having the courage to go out and place a bet at the betting center. He called Elinah and it came out that he didn't have the courage to go out to bet and she said why can't he do it online then, and that's the turning point of his fortunes. She introduced him to a world of betting he'd never imagined before, it was awesome. He thereafter put his dice rolling on ice in favour of the new way of gambling. He was lucky or maybe it was that he got combinations worked out from during his trialing days. It started off with low wins and with days built up courage and confidence to wage higher stakes and one day it paid off. He ultimately won a 6 figure dot.
He started off with what he wished for in a long time, and that's moving in with the love of his life, and she accepted. He bought a studio apartment in Ponce and then kept some for making her achieve her goal of running a wedding planning business. He gave her the capital and remained with enough for more betting. He was happy to have done what he wished for, to get her out of that life and have her all to himself alone. The wedding planning business wasn't as Elinah thought it would be. The challenge was she didn't know how to run a formal business and realized that very late in it.
Elinah had no background in business and that worked against her. She failed to attract business and at times when she's not getting her way trying seduction as it was normal to her, but made her lose even worse. She complained to Leno and as he too knew nothing about business, suggested she hire someone to teach her and everything will work out for the better in the end. She did and hired an assistant who came with a host of changes for her liking though proved to be on point and a hit with prospects.
The assistant introduced trendy titles that resonated with clientele and became the wedding director while herself remained the planner. One day she sat Elinah down to school her about finances and showed to her their losses and potential growth. It was a wake up call to her. As wedding director, Onica Panetta advised her to buy equipment of her own to avoid hiring again in future. She stopped her also from outsourcing deco, she recommended some girls she knew and the house gained appraisers. She was no longer a link and was then doing events that went into parties and funerals. Leno was proud of her and telling her every second he had a chance.

She stopped her also from outsourcing deco, she recommended some girls she knew and the house gained appraisers. She was no longer a link and was then doing events that went into parties and funerals. Leno was proud of her and telling her every second he had a chance.
Elinah was picking up and bookings were constantly showing an upward trajectory. As they rose, Leno on the other hand wasn't slowing down, he's been winning smaller amounts and had again hit the big time and bought a truck for her to move her equipment with ease as her business comes mostly from San Juan, Bayamon, Carolina and Guaynabo. He also bought catering equipment to make her business a complete money making machine. After that win, Leno started going out to roll the dice with his buddies again knowing she's sorted. He did the online betting later when home and also on days he's not out with the gents.
One day Elinah went home for her aunt's funeral arrangements. She left Onica being in charge of everything, and she knew that she'll be away for some days, four at most, and went to give Leno a report on their past two days. He told her she should communicate that to Elinah as she's the one running the business and him clueless. He but asked how much did they make? She said it's US$ 786.00 and Leno was happy for them as it showed they were doing fine.
On the sixth day Elinah was back and Onica didn't tell her about her visit to her home and neither did Leno. It wasn't a deliberate move but just a coincidence of sort. Leno out of interest sake asked her how they were doing and to his dismay perturbed by her answer that it's still early days, and he said nothing. He asked himself why she said that while Onica informed him they made such a good figure in two days only.
He started keeping quiet about his wins as he suspected that he was being lied to by Elinah. The relationship between them somehow was taking a dip but neither at first sensed that until Elinah was vocal about it while also pointing out that she's pregnant. To Leno it was good news that came at the wrong time.
They pushed and time came that she go into labour and Elinah got surprised why his child's father wanted to assist in the business, and assumed it was just fatherhood kicking in. She nevertheless was chuffed that he's taking interest in the business. He was allover the place and was only after how much was made everyday that it got Onica unsettled and told Elinah about that. She didn't worry and asked Onica to understand that he was new in business and doesn't know the ins and outs of it.
A few months later she noticed they were drifting apart and she challenged him for an answer and though evasive about the true issue, raised his worries about her intentions with the business. She was so relieved to hear that and said he should've asked a long time ago. Issue was there wasn't too much money in the business account. She quickly realized he's not being honest and she directed him to the envelope in their lowest drawer of the dressing table to answer that.
He opened it and found invoices for all the transactions from the start and the total to date injected into the business and told him to go through the sheet to see the answer he's actually looking for. It was embarrassing for him and asked why make so much yet not have a lot in the bank and she said, "the cost factor is the answer before going into return on investment" and he laughed in cheer of her, the now sounding business woman, and they laughed together.
He established that Elinah was only a few thousands short of returning the capital to him and start running at profit. He forgave himself for lack of trust in his child's mother. The following month he proposed and she asked if it's out of guilt or a genuine gesture? Again, if he's doing it to ask for forgiveness because if it's out of one of those the marriage won't last. He was again embarrassed as it was true. He was apologizing with a proposal to marry. Realizing it wasn't the right way of going about it, three days later he apologized and she was happy and yes she said to him.
One day Elinah went home for her aunt's funeral arrangements. She left Onica being in charge of everything, and she knew that she'll be away for some days, four at most, and went to give Leno a report on their past two days.

He was again embarrassed as it was true. He was apologizing with a proposal to marry. Realizing it wasn't the right way of going about it, three days later he apologized and she was happy and yes she said to him.
The first thing she did afterwards was ask him about the dream he sold to her about wanting to own a casino one day, he rolled his eyes and laughed that she still remembered that. He told her he got over that a long time ago since it took a lot of legal hurdles to go through before obtaining its license to operate. She told him she knew someone who was operating it and had once told her about the difficulties he went through to finally get it and the capital to start also been a challenge, and understood Leno's plight.
He but said he's now into increasing his money through gambling and wishing to some day teach his daughter how to so she knew she's got another way into wealth creation that others overlook and could also teach her succeedants. She was numb at the sentiment and loved him more for his unconventional thinking into a different organic model of unorthodox path to investing. Elinah loved their idea of hybrid income model for their household as she's is the mainstream and him offstream. It made her realize how right she was for sticking with him.
The next morning she started working on her vows and Onica working her magic with the dress, it was all exciting. Leno by then was on the other hand working on self to prep for a life as a husband and a father who'll be a pure career gambler who wouldn't be seen rolling dices in the streets anymore. He was bidding his buddies farewell and but promising to be a face they won't take long to see in their space though be for base touch going forward. The guys were inspired and well wishing of his new life as a husband and a smart gambler.
On the wedding day he wore a special cut suit with a dice imprint in the front and an @ symbol imprint to the back, symbolic of his days as a dice roller gone and in with online gambling, a message only those close to him caught loud and clear. Post their wedding Elinah opened another business with the winnings Leno had put aside during their drift moment. She added it with the returned capital and bought a Tick-a-Bet franchise and left it in the capable hands of Onica to run it. She bought it to suffice for her husband's long time dimmed dream.
On the wedding day, Onica was spotted with a man who was distant. Then one time at the betting center they bumped into each other and damn,,,she recalled how she knew him as he was frozen to be caught in the same space again as she though on different setting. He was one of her often in a while regulars during her night shifting days. She told him to relax as it's all in the past. Just after uttering that to him Onica approached already having established that the two knew one another, and asked where they knew each other from, and Elinah said he knew him a while ago when she used to clean the streets but didn't know what he actually was doing in life. Onica said Tino was a zoo keeper and got recently promoted to zoographer. He was embarrassed about that while Elinah showed interest of which Onica sensed was more to that.
While together Onica asked Elinah why she was surprised at what Tino was working as, and she said she thought she heard him say something about moving loads of something she never recalled and assumed he was in the logistics services sector not the zoo. They both laughed about men and their lies and agreed it'll stay between them. The same night Tino called thanking her for saving the day, and Elinah asked him to never call her again for civil relations sake and he apologized and dropped. It was a simple smoke down and life went on.
Q_why did seduction make Elinah lose business back then? Did Elinah buy a betting center franchise because she caught her husband in a lie or out of love? Does Onica know or pretend to not about Elinah's past life? Can gambling be a responsible way of building a legacy?

Scenario 125
On his welcoming day his speech wasn't what you'd claim to have heard before. He striked a conversation with clients and staff with no care of management as if they weren't there. He got from the board what he wanted on that day, creating a division. The staff and clients raved about him while those in suits left wrestling each other over the decision they took and choice made on him. The next evening he was called in to be questioned about his loyalty and position of his allegiance. His lawyer was all out with laughter reading the stress of the board. Mao told them he's the thorn they signed a devil's deal with for 5 good years of good devil's pie returns, and thanked them for the honour and got out. Stress levels grew worse.
When his first day arrived, everyone was on time to welcome him personally as he asked to have a handshake with him one by one to introduce each formally. He was a different CEO indeed. The experience was like no other and the way he talked to them shook a lot. To him any member of staff is a friend and as such should know them and build a relationship with. In just a day results the management was already dropping their jaws. For the first time in a long time the staff worked overtime without any complaints. They all agreed to covering the first hour they had of introduction. He established a rapport no other CEO had ever done on a first day.
At their homes they were hearing about him and that was his intention, the spread difference. The following days he did visits to clients to introduce himself formally, and with them too, trust was immediately established. The board was no longer sure of their tune with him but forced to support him. He never was the one to be in his glass meets steel and concrete office. His PA got to study him and quickly adapt to his style. He wasn't too demanding yet very expecting of her to be on point in all fronts. She found it stressful working with him and asked she be moved elsewhere because her usual tendencies weren't entertained.
What he did was call all the staff to ask them whom they'd like be his PA and had names suggested and voted upon, with the top 2 names being of Dan Vargas and Jhon Soto. Same time in that instance took them to his office for interview. His first question to each was: "what's your true sexual orientation, star sign and religion?" and "what does a passing glance mean to them, and who between them and him was it referring to?" with eyes fixated on the calendar on his desk. He never cared about their past experiences and skills sets. He went with the first candidate over the second one but chose none of them.
The only rule to them was ask them to tell the truth of the interview and their answers. He knew that showed how open he was. He went on for 3 days without a PA and started getting other suggestions. He called them again for another round of nominations. He asked them: "what do you think of someone who hides their sexual orientation?" and saw he threw a smoke screen and they said he's not honest, and he said: "thus I came back to you for help again." The list this time was short and he went with the top 3 then. He opted for the second candidate and the other two lost out to a bisexual guy by the name of Nils Lobo. He told him that anyone who's truthful about their sexual orientation is trustworthy and again for him that type is his choice as they tend to be honest naturally. The staff cheered him as they partook in the decision in part by nominations. They felt that they were listened to and that they were handed back the power other CEOs and management took from them.
As Nils was new to that space, he took him to City Mall for shopping at the company's expense. Due to his entrant status the company saved a lot in that he cut his salary and benefits by half and still to him was 3 and a half more than he received monthly. FaidSteel has never been revved up like this ever. The management didn't have control over staff anymore but productivity at its utmost best. To make matters worse he made them choose their new uniform and team leaders to cut unnecessary meddling by supervisors in their affairs. He practiced a style never experienced before but that was working as the staff was pleased and selling the company wherever they were outside of work, something that unlocked more value for FaidSteel.
Everyone wanted to do their best to shine for his attention. After 17 months of doing that he realized that those who had received ex gratia were starting to relax a bit and before it could be a new normal, he revisited one staffer's family and it revived their spirits. One day he received an accolade that's monetary based and instead of bagging the reward alone, used it to subsidize their lunches for 2 days. Mao was unbelievably good with staff. The board was from time to time not knowing what to say to him. The awards they were now amassing thanks to his different style of management, were vindictive of his position. He was out there, talkative, humble and approachable for a person of his position.
Time went by with the company growing in double digits. With a blink of an eye his tenure was coming to an end in 6 months time, and before the board said anything to him, staff members called management to plead with them to renew his contract. He was flattered by the move but declined. The board did it in his style and fashioned their communique with him openly, and as he wasn't the type to succumb to surprises, played it to his favour. He said that he won't be continuing his journey with FaidSteel as it took a lot from his pockets to keep the staff happy and them never cared to take notice of what it took for him to grow the company with his staff to the level it was currently.
Seeing the conversation getting deeper and going West, they muted the openness, and that prompted the staff to ask them what are they hiding. They chose to then engage them through supervisors and it showed foul on their side. It worked in 2 ways for him. First, the staff felt guilty and bad about the rewards they accepted from him at his own expense to buy their productivity, while on the other hand feeling the management was trying to cover up for the low pay he was getting and asked the board increase his remuneration package. Secondly, the board couldn't afford to have another CEO who'll not gel with the staff and in order for them to keep them happy to retain their familiar favourite by renegotiating a better package for him.
With 5 months to go, they requested that he sit in for a new revised deal for his renewal. He told them he's not their best man in that he now was coming at a big cost to them, while someone new would maybe outdo him with the same package adjusted to industry standard. To his delight, heads were in disagree with his utterances and but reminded them he's not their best pick as they weren't happy with their choice after his appointment, and also that they want him not for likes but their pocketbook projections.
He's a bloody good intrapreneur they couldn't do without sadly and innate each knowing it. He asked they name their figure for his head and its contents, and they with relief laughed and asked if he got any suggestions. He told them his lawyer advised him to always abide by the employer's grading of him and plead only where possible, and as such should be hearing from them or adjourn for his next appearance with his lawyer, and they quickly asked he be recused for a minute and be called back. Going back in he got double his current take home since he declined their shares. He was the best-paid CEO in the steel manufacturing industry in the whole of Costa Rica.
Half-day off he went home and relaxed that afternoon and soon calls from Nils and staff members were coming in fast. His PA was in jovial mood as his salary was scaled up by 25% instead of the normal 7.5 he's used to. He even asked if Mao was free for a visit to his place and he said yes but if be for a short while though. Nils instantly hurried there.
He put all parties in a catch 22 which is hard to attempt as it may upset garnered clientele. He was too powerful yet easy to forget that of him because of his "you have it but don't use it" attitude. The board felt him regardless and good in suppressing it to avoid his cockiness should he notice. It was embarrassing to Nils how blind the board was to the fact that Mao knew his weight. He admired him with all that he was and ever grateful for his choice of him over others to can work beside him. Nils understood that in the new tenure Mao would be on the recovery mode. But then, he wasn't sure if that was a strategy all along or a genuine move out of an honest result he's positioned in financially. For him, Mao was too hard to conclude upon at times and but glad he'll be a millionaire come the end of the new term thanks to him still keeping him, and whenceforth vowing to self that for him he'll keep being useful and purposeful...
Q_what sexual orientation is Mao's? Is it true that homosexuals are trustworthy or just a reasoning behind preference? What's his style of management called, and can it be replicated?
Scenario 124
Jetlaps was a jet engine building company from Sweden. The company was an established player in the industry for 32 years. The founder appointed his second born son to succeed him. The other 3 weren't interested in their family business. The new leader, Eumond Veach, was a thinking mill and a believer in approachability. He was worried about the position that they are in. For him there wasn't enough to brag about their family business as it was only that, a family business.
He asked for the details of each shareholder and had meetings with their offerings behind-the-scenes. He was lucky to have had a possible offspring of each that he could work with. The company was crying out for a new way of doing business and with the shareholders' successors a way was clear as they all saw his point and wanted in. He called an urgent meeting with the board to discuss that issue, and luckily for him they all saw his point and allowed to have the new faces take over from them. The eldest on the new board composition was at 39 while the youngest at 26.
He gave them capacitation lessons from directorship to control. They were patient enough to undergo his program. The classes were at times not making sense to the most but attended regardless. The day he said to them that they were ready to go into business was the day they got to know their titles and roles. Their board was composed of 11 directors who sat on it actively involved in the running of their business. With 32% he was the majority holder and its leader. He shared his new corporate vision with them and asked for inputs. They attacked the vision until they got out a mission to run with, something he made them laugh at selves for, for how he handled them. He got them in wholly.
The brand was refreshed, repositioned, offerings reviewed and the model reworked. The old Jetlaps was slowly making its way for the new one. The company was divided into 2, technical side and operational side. The strategy worked and clients were more happier with the new way of things done in the business. They involved clients and staff on almost all decisions about the new faces in lead.
Jetlaps extended its product offering to ship engines, car engines and generators. The day they read out that statement the old guard felt they were delaying growth of their business. Seeing that they had a good capital floating they acquired a majority stake in a small EV batteries maker. They made a mistake for a long time and now having to play catch up. All debts they had were renegotiated debt-to-equity deals and they were in the black and enabled to look into the future with assurance that the horizon is promising. The last next step was merge with a new player in the EV production space, Futron Automakers, and a deal was struck and in 2 months signed. The new name was Laptron.
Laptron because of its spree of changes in its entire business model, became one of the players to look at and talk about, something that it didn't have for the last 20 odd years as it was left behind in the ushering of 2IR. They now had to bring it into the thick of things into 4IR by any necessary means in order for it to be in sync with the new economic systems and market transformation. Orders for ship engines gave Laptron access into submarine territory. They were visible once again. Their engines represents speed and the aviation industry is also in the quest for speedier planes above comfort. Saving time and cost of flying is what makes sense to them currently, and that's the language at Laptron. Being relevant begins with such information. The team was happy they were delivering to varying industries unlike then. Auto industry also grew by leaps and bounds as their ready for market engines and batteries gave manufacturers a space to innovate with the knowledge that they already have an engine to mate with their shells. They only worked on specs. The same was with EVs, it helped paddle sales of EVs as they were no longer talking long waiting lists.
Their formula was working. They were now seen as a solutions provider than the previous position they were in of being seen as stop gap product offerers. The old guard felt proud of the shift they were witnessing. It quelled doubt in those who secretly recorded scepticism in their mental reserves. The dividend was paid in a long while after disappeared hope for that as they recorded surplus in the Q4 of their second year. Contracts were coming in, their products were what they wanted for their developmental needs.
Eumond Veach wasn't like Elon Musk, he was the quiet shy type that was out into crowds but not selling self or their brand. But one thing good to him was hearing his family name and their brand being mentioned in the circles. Their engines were fitted into multiple modes of transportation, and what's more impressive was that the rich were very awoke to the inner workings of their cars, jets and yatchs, and a small pool was the owners of cruise liners, submarines and jumbo jets. Their engines fit into all those segments. In Y4 they had to find another space for production, and what they did was forward thinking. They secured 2 locations, 1 for aeronauts production and the other for aquatec production.
Due to the brand strategy, the face of the company was Thalia Mazzone, a loud spirit that pumped life into the brand. She captured the hearts of the industry and so was that of Eumond. Because of the company policy he took his time to say his piece but she made it easier for him by availing countless opportunities for him to be alone with her. With a perfect timing he finally did it and relieved that she was well aware of his feelings for her since the beginning. They were together for a year and a good 5 months before they announced it to the board and in 7 more months were tying the knot.
Their ceremony was a very private and intimate one, with journalists making twice the number of guests. They were well published and was good for the image of the company. Thalia continued doing good for the brand's growth plan when she scored a scene for a movie that gave them a good chance of their brand visibility and a mention. Instead of Eumond making a cameo, gave the opportunity to Thalia who did justice to it though lacked the weight they wanted for their publicity and the producers had to sadly do away with it in favour of another car manufacturing brand that its head of design and the CEO had no problem with appearance in. Sad for them was Thalia letting it be known they weren't the first to come to their thoughts as they had approached them first. That scored her interviews with an array of publications on why they didn't do that gig. She mentioned their inside info policy and other trade secrets to be protected and as such couldn't shoot with the CEO but herself and but felt it a compromise so had to pull out. It sold the brand safely and more petrol heads started following the brand for its protected tech.
The producers of a rival production house scored an appointment with the production head and brand manager to secure rights of a part production in their production space and they agreed to that. The following day it made news that they will be rolling cameras with Eumond Veach in their upcoming movie "The Tax Code Spy". The news created hype and Eumond started attending to guest appearances as he saw how easy you can lose a publicity awareness stunt just like that. Due to the hype, the cameras had to be rolled 6 months prior to schedule. They rode the wave and it had a huge impact on presales.
After the movie, it became cool to make engines instead of cars, ships and planes as the taxman can miss you, especially in scene where a tax official was given a birthday present in the form of an orange painted engine stuffed with a million € notes as a bribe, which he used as money safe that investigators missed all along after knowing he was bribed. That prompted a trend that had people scout old discarded engines to clean and use as their safe or safety box.
The movie also came with an about turn to have the company sell their engines directly to the public. There was just no way they couldn't cash in on that craze of a trend as they did so in the other scene. People bought colour coded engines from them for display. In a few months bucking the trend also, Laptron crafted and sold engine safety boxes and it became a money spinner. The movie did wonders for them than it did the production house. Eumond bragged to the old guard how good the new board is for their brand. His father died happy a short while later. The innovative team they had inhouse made them wealthy.
The engine safety box opened a stream of other products to sell like engine block tool wallets and other cool related stuffs. The boom was 1 Eumond never imagined in a faint moment. Sweden was the new economic hub for engine manufacturing in the world. Thanks for the old guard board that made way for new blood to take over and grow the company, and make it a valuable synonymous brand. A decade ago none cared about the components that goes into a car and but today they do because they now know.
Q_was the first opportunity going to give the brand the pool of creative thinking as the second one did, and why? Is it worth it investing in any manufacturing industry, and how? Between Thalia and Eumond, who's more bankable than the other, and why?
Scenario 123
The world of football hasn't for long been hit by that kind of transformation in a long time. A team that is run by women only. The only trouble is that the woman at the top is a covert androphobe as opposed to the rest who are androphile. The first by women management team was bought 3 games left to the end of the season and faced with a relegation axe. The sale turned its fortunes around.
The team's fans were aversed to the sale at first and became attentive during the 1st of the last 3 games as the coach gave a switch to what the game was used to. She played with the substitutes as her starting 11, less the goalkeeper as he was on top of his form. They were 3 in their favour when going to halftime. Back into 2nd half added 1 more as they finished 4 - 1 to Stacerfield. The result gave them hope as they were then only 5 points away from being relegated. The fans were reserved in their celebration.
The next game on the fixture was the toughest yet and they were against the log dominator and league title holder, G F Doles FC, and they by last minute mistake converted the chance to a never thought of win. The fans ran wild with craze as they made history in 9 seasons. The team has never won against G F Doles in 9 years. No captain was ever proud than Eric "J ball" Harris on that day. He's never been so emotional like this in a long while. With 2 points from relegation, there was no choice but another win to finish in.
That Sunday was the most nerve wrecking of them all as all the remaining games were played at once. It was a nail biting moment. Everybody was on their side on that one. Though thought to be a given win, it wasn't obvious, the opponents fought tooth and nail to evade relegation too. The 1st half went by at locks on 0 each side. The coach, Emelda Jones, was out of character that day that she even got booked off the field for swearing at assistant referee. Her assistant kept her cool and kept the boys together to their most important win of their careers yet. It was tough and a well deserved penalty awarded set the winners apart from the losers.
The man of the match, Desmond "Dezman" Rowling, thanked the coach, the chairwoman, his teammates and the fans for their belief in them and him as most of the season the previous coach used him less and but today fielded and made dreams come true of both himself and every stakeholder in the team. The assistant coach, Lisa Torres, was ecstatic with the result and a point in the safe zone.
The team's chairwoman, Nia Adams, was the first team owner and leader to ever engage the fans in a meeting and sell them in share her vision and their inputs noted. She did that after the win and got a backing last enjoyed just over half a century ago by the then founding chairman, Rodovan Igov, in its glory days. The team's name was again revered in Moscow, Russia, Mr Igov's birth city. Known as "the city's hope" by some and "gray wolverines (gulo gulo)" by most, was now that hope again in its second and permanent home, Belfast. Mr Igov bought status and since then it never disappointed.
The team, FC Gulo, was profiled more than any other team in the league just during the off-season and that gave them an edge in being spotted by sponsors in that it lacked serious financial backing prior to the new faces behind its success. The team was a fresh breath of air into the scene. It brought the element of never been before, first ever, never heard of, etc, and kept on delivering. Up from only the last sponsor they had, they got a record breaking 12 new ones.

Up from only the last sponsor they had, they got a record breaking 12 new ones.
Nia was an accountant by profession, and holding an MBA. As the majority shareholder and leader of the board, naysayers gave her just one season and she'll be out of action. A lot of men never believed in an all-women administration in any sporting code setup. In the upcoming league matches, FC Gulo showed them flames as it lifted twice tournament trophies and in the league finished 5th on the log. The following season 2 trophies again and finished 6th. The team's performance was consistent and in the 3rd season under her reign, surprisingly in a momentous turn of events, kicked G F Doles out of the seat as the new title holders.
The team became the most sponsored ever in the history of the league and the first women led to achieve that status. It was but not enough for Nia, who at that time was one of the most celebrated ever football leaders in the country and the Great Britain. She made a blunder by running for Sports ministry post as she entered the fray. Due to popularity she won and quickly juggling the 2 jobs took its toll on her. The team was no longer at their optimum level and the attention other sporting codes needed atop their belief in her, left her exhausted. Just 5 months on the job she was drained.
As a result of her starting to miss games and other important team meetings, it was evident she's failing. The season drew to a close and the reigning champs were limping. Sponsors were starting to worry and letters expressing their waning favour were coming in fast and starting to unsettle the board. She was later given an ultimatum to either exit her ministerial post or exit her seat at the club. She with no haste tendered her step down from the ministry post and back into the saddle at the city's hope.
The vibrancy was once again felt and the team flipped its success erasure to more hope on the walls of hype. One thing the boys missed about her was locker room briefings she got them accustomed to. They enjoyed her praisings of their thicketies and endowlings. Her wettie wit humour always lit the room and lifted the mood. It was known she's not into any of them but made special remarks at the rightful of all times everytime. She is a crazy daughter of mess. Her spontaneity remains to their best of experiences the 1st in their bests. She's that type who'll undress and take a shower with them and laugh at their tents pitched, and leave them high and shy to finish what they're supposed to do when in that state and alone, she's that type.
Nia had one child, a product of rape, whom she spent most of her time far away from to quell her memory of that trauma. What none knew about her, was how brave she is. After her rape, she did something none could pinpoint her for, and to this day none suspected her of that. She gave her rapist a strong alcohol and administered poison into it. When knocked out, dismembered him and shoved his privates into his mouth and left him bleed to his death. She avenged her pain in her own satisfactory way. A few weeks later packed her bags and left the country side for city life where she's today making history.
To her son, she's a stranger that happens to be closer to him in a materialistic way yet distant in affection. What none also didn't know about her was that she was in a nefarious lustcraft with the team's doctor, Alaine O. They weren't a couple but joying crussy sparringships in their spare moments of companionship mongering. They both were busy but there with each other for those times of want if not in need. They were compatible in more deeds than deals that met the grace of one's retinal spark.

The league came to its sunset and once again The city's hope showed them how the Gulo gulo devoured its prey. G F Doles came out 2nd again and its coach showed the exit door. The women's team was doing wonders. Not long, the club registered yet another first-ever when FC Gulo became the team with all its players and some key staff signed endorsement deals personally with various brands as they couldn't bag more due to their reached ceiling of sponsorship deals permitted by the league.
The club was ingeniously collecting 15% from each player as they signed with them. The team's condition of managing players' life and career affairs, which many saw the positive benefit of and in droves signed with them, set the club apart from the rest since there were many more organic benefits tied to the deal when managed within like interest free loans, housing subsidies, accidental and family covered funeral policy, provident fund, lock-in club shares, study allowance, fuel and grocery discount card, among others. They were the most progressive in the league and attracted the best there is out there. The move borne headaches for the board as every star player wanted to play for them.
In the next round of elections for the football association, the name of Nia Adams featured in the list and she warmly requested she be removed from it as she won't be available for the appointment. She was already reading the minds of her detractors and that they wanted to take her focus off the team and capitalize on that. She was ahead of their plotting schemes. To further fuel the already raging fire in her camp, she diverted 4 sponsorship deals into the development side to make them earn better so they come into the A-team already used to the lifestyle and status, to avoid missed level headedness that's required in that space.
The development players drove flashy wheels and were the envy of their families. That but meant it was more harder to be picked for a spot in the development side during trials as those in were playing wholeheartedly to retain their lifestyles and opportunity to play for the league side. Even in the reserve league, FC Gulo painted scoreboards lime, orange, white and black. They were the leaders in all aspects of the fraternity.
Nia was secretly lobbied for a position of an advisor to the sports minister and she took it up, and ever since announced, changing waves were eminent for all involved to feel. As a country, United Kingdom was printing history for decades to come. That very year, FC Gulo made another never heard of when it won the league with 14 points ahead its trailer outfit, Yamitz Sportec United, with G F Doles in 3rd. They continued their streak as they scooped 60% of the awards that year. The sponsors piled bonuses atop bonuses as they were seeing the benefits of their relationship with the team.
Not known to be having an offspring, Nia made a startling move when she ran a certain sponsor brand's signature campaign with her son as the face of their brand. With wrong turn speculations by ill wishing media backlashers, the campaign saw the brand grow more than double the digit they hoped for in the region of 18% against the 7% initially thought to be. Another brand wanted to spring onto the board but wasn't to be as it was for gratitude to the brand for sticking by the team when others shun them before she took over. Her son was a millionaire overnight and from then on sighted her as that closely distant carer he should adore.
Knowing the truth, her son became more attached to his mother and became an activist for rape survivors but without any reasons divulged for his course to protect both him and his mother. FC Gulo made something that melted the hearts of fans when they opened the gates of their village for a special occasion to celebrate the team's founder's family and friends who supported them during that time. The 6 families got £100K each and the utterly emotional Igov family a thank you £1 million cheque.

That very week again they gave away all tickets to their registered members for the team's 10 001th official league game. The next day membership registration clogged the website and the match attendants' numbers grew by as much as 48%. On the day of the 10 003rd game match, gave members free meal, courtesy of Porki Likkit and Copa Soda. And, before kick off on the day of their 10 007th match, they gave members free auto-upload unicode data, supporter jersey, and discount voucher coupon for the next game. It surely was paying to be a "Gulo gulo". The team's apparel remained the most sold out for 8 consecutive years.

Q_is Nia Adams' feminist approach justifiable? What failed her as a sports minister and team chairwoman? Is she a good mother to her son? Did Nia reach her ceiling?

Scenario 122
He formed Iridoidus Dental Care with the sole aim of making money whilst doing what he loved. Arad Bodhao fell in love with Greece during his holiday season in Athens and decided to stay there for good. Today he's a known figure in dental practice in and around Athens.
When he left Afghanistan he had a wife of 2 years and a 7 months old baby girl, Feida. He worked hard to establish himself there for 8 years and went back to bring them with to Greece. The two were happy and in love. His wife, Nadia, was a stay-at-home mom. They had a good time and as a young couple were faced with new and different from home challenges that saw Nadia having to attend night school to prep herself for the world of employment though she's never worked before. She was 29 and a slow learner.
At 33, Arad's 34th was fast approaching and he wasn't happy comparing his progress with those of his peers. 8 months later Nadia was better in Greek and ready for the world of job hunting, with the promise of continuing with her program until 12 months. Arad organized a job for her at a local pharmacy. She felt welcome and as usual a bit out of place the first few days in that she's never been exposed to the world of work. As days went by she got to grips with the staffers and was fine, and the salary helped.
Arad worked hard to be one of the best in the industry and he was recognized. He had a wish of growing beyond Athens but had to partner with someone. It didn't take long and he was mixing vibes with an English consultant dental surgeon, Keith Lawson. Keith was a very different thinker and not the conformity type of a practitioner. He suggested they open a dental macro-surgery. They had to have more than enough funds to establish that, so they brought in JY Capital Partners to realize their dream. Registered as Iridoidus Dental Care and trading as IriDeCa Macro-Surgery, IriDeCa's surgery was upmarket, accessible to all publics and not expensive as they charged clients via packages, which was a hit with pensioners, students and younger life starters.
The revolution in dental care practice was founded in their model. They set up a blog and a podcast, and that was the start of its big. In 14 months they opened two more surgeries, one in Piraeus and the other in Thessaloniki. Arad was starting to be home for a short time and more of his time spent working. Nadia was beginning to feel lonely and she advised him to employ him so they can get to see each other more. Arad did as she asked and she was hired to manage bed bookings and she failed, tried her at being the assistant in their dispensary which still she couldn't be effective, and lastly as a patients minder, and she did well.

In 14 months they opened two more surgeries, one in Piraeus and the other in Thessaloniki. Arad was starting to be home for a short time and more of his time spent working. Nadia was beginning to feel lonely and she advised him to employ him so they can get to see each other more. Arad did as she asked and she was hired to manage bed bookings and she failed, tried her at being the assistant in their dispensary which still she couldn't be effective, and lastly as a patients minder, and she did well.
Due to Arad's constant praises of Keith, Nadia developed a sense of curiosity that created a need for her to be near him and know him better because Arad is so fond of him. Keith didn't see that one coming, until she accidentally dented his coat and shirt to allow her to see what's underlying those clothes. Unawares, he went into the consulting room and asked for her to iron a new shirt for him. She did and she was drooling over what she feasted on visually.
The next thing, Nadia was beginning to draw, something that she's never done before since met Arad but a long time dropped passion of hers. She was busy drawing shades and shapes of him. Keith one day while with Arad asked him when his wife developed the love for drawing and if she even painted. Arad had no idea what to say about that as he was clueless on that front with her. Reason for that was that Keith loved art, and was an avid collector of art pieces.
He, a short time later asked Arad if he can commission a job for his wife, and with no thought spared said yes. The following day they both set Nadia down to let her understand she'll be doing that only after work. Nadia had no studio or a creative space to work from, so she had to rely on a favour from Keith to give her that. The first work was an abstract painting that was hung in the main entrance of the main building. It was a quirky yet undeniably a focal point of the surgery. So, Keith gave her another challenge of painting for the other two surgeries.
As she was still new to big commission jobs, she started communicating with Keith more for guidance on the progress of her works. She was secretly attracted and that tore her apart as he was everything she wished for in Arad but just that it's not him, and quickly falling for his partner. Pity for her, Keith wasn't even into her a bit, his thoughts on their assignments solely and she could tell he was not on. Nadia didn't know that her tutor was staying at the same residence as Keith, with his sister and brother-in-law at the Rewkon Towers, eighth floor.
The tutor met with Nadia and insisted on going to see what she's talking about and upon unveiling the painting to him, said to her that she must just allow him to breath and devour the beautiful creation made by a wingless Angel planted in his presence. Nadia was charmed and for a minute forgot about her feelings for Keith and transported them down the flow lane with her tutor. He saw how mesmerized she was because she desperately longed to hear such serenading words from a male species, and there she was finally finding them in the tutor. Though he didn't come close to second vs Keith, he was but kind and lovely, and better than ever busy Arad.
They kissed and ended there. Nadia went home and spent the rest of her night in deep thoughts of the tutor. Though 3 years younger to her, he did make a huge impact. She was imagining him bare as she felt his throb during the kiss. To her it wasn't a russian sausage but rather a vienna. She wasn't that crazy about him sadly, just that he could fill the void.
Keith and Arad were pushing like they're dying today and Keith stopped practicing so he be the marketing director for their business. A month later they opened two more surgeries in Patras and Heraklion. They stuck to dentistry and that made them trusted specialists. In the coming 3 quarters they opened a new surgery which made them be running 8 macro-surgeries in 3 years. Arad was starting to slow his pace. His wife and kid were now his first priority in a long while. By then his wife's fangs were deeper into another man.
A partner who happened to be running one of their surgeries was parking his soft rod in his boss partner's reserved lot. It was a secret service agent affair at first but because of being young, he started gauging his boss whenever he got the chance and that quickly made Keith to probe the background of his behaviour, and found out about them. He reprimanded him in camera and later had a moment with Nadia, who unashamedly blamed him for ignoring her then but told her he's learned and mastered self-suppression and so should she. Nadia honestly said she can't, and he told her it'll one day backfire on her and he won't be in her corner when anger hit the fan.
Since things were going right for IriDeCa, Arad bought a newly built amphibious house at Lake Pastira to thank her for the years she gave him to follow his heart. The tech house had hidden surveillance cams in strategic places that he was advised to never tell a sole about for his and their safety. Due to 4 more surgeries in line, she was assigned to paint 8 works for entrance and exit of each as going forth their structures were now different.
One midmorning while away, Nadia called in sick and asked for her to work from home. The young dental surgeon had an appointment with her to meet at their home. He was with her the most part of the day until around 2 pm. She was painting from the loft. They cuddled and played silly doing things that only lovers do. He left immediately after they had lunch together on the roof deck.
All those happenings were caught on cam. He came back the following day and they were together in the evening and to Arad's shock was when calling the young surgeon, his calls were ignored. He then called Nadia to tell her he'll be late. She told him how tired she was and readying self for steam bath before going to bed. Told her he loved her and she giggled, and when asked what's funny said she's thinking of something naughty they can do when he's back. He was playing with her during the call and he was seeing everything.
With disappointment he knocked off and called Feida to hear where she was, only to know she's not around as her mother sent her to her best friend for a sleepover. Armed with a smuggled unlicensed firearm he got from a former soldier friend, he went straight home and parked far from home and walked. He got in unnoticed and found them in their lounge and with a gun silencer he asked why and she just freezed. He shot her at close range and pointed the gun at the young dental surgeon, pushing him to the window where he made him choose between jumping off from the sixth floor balcony to his death naked or gun shot, and he chose to jump out with the hope of making it possibly, but was not to be.
He took his wallet and phone and left, threw the phone into the bush and back into his car and drove away for an hour or so, then came back after receiving a police call asking him where he was and telling him to come home quickly. Told them he was already on his way home and soon arrived. He was counseled to be brave and got into the house. He acted numb and heartbroken, and the police bought it. The media was there and he asked for a night cap at the cop shop but the commander arranged for alternative place. He switched off his phone and had a peaceful night's rest.
The following morning he made calls to relatives and some had already seen the news. In the sidelines, Keith out of pity for his partner, spilled the beans on what he knew about the two and to his statement made fingers point to the dodgy life the young surgeon lived. Said he suspected one of the guys he slept with their lovers might have followed him there and it made sense, and was ruled as that. He saved the day without knowing it. Out of thanking him, Arad as he knew Keith was pseudohomosexual and had hots for him, made himself vulnerable one night and had him have his way with him. They had their sorry moments a day after and both promised to never repeat that. Keith became the Chief gatekeeper and to date still hoping on another one night stand with him but will never happen again unless there's a huge favour or another big thank you.
At work he'd stay most of the times staring at the paintings quietly, publicly convincing that he fails to move on and still putting the pieces together of what really happened. He looked depressed. Keith was not knowing what to do for him but hard to be there close to him as he feared he'll be hurt by his rejection, so he just gave him space yet putting a caring eye on him.
He spent a year alone until his family arranged for him someone whom they thought he'd love. He was hard to hook up, twice he rejected the women he got set up with. The third was the lucky one and they were unstoppable. Nadia's family remains ashamed of what had happened. Arad's daughter loved her stepmother dearly even though was a volcanologist who was ever away from home, they nevertheless clicked. After losing Nadia, Arad showed lack of interest and signs of giving up emerged that he had one day suggested to Keith his retirement from it all and focus on the blog and podcast. Keith understood and set him free...db
Q_between Arad and Keith, who's actually bicurious and why? What's a macro-surgery? What's iridoid? Will Keith grow IriDeCa alone?
Scenario 121
His birthplace of Gikondo became too small for him and secondly the locals weren't that supportive. Dawson Jean, known as DJ everywhere, is a barber who started out with a pair of scissors and two combs plus a brush with a mirror at the back. It took him a full year to save for a battery operated barber machine and a cape. He cut his customers under a tree just a stone's throw away from the local market. Two years later he bought a new bicycle.
With the bicycle, what he had in mind and did was go to customers' places of comfort and cut them. For that type of service he charged extra and none had an issue with except for those who were just wanting to demoralize him, but failed. DJ saw that he wasn't making enough at home and decided to go to the city. The market was vast yet competitive in Kigali than it was at Gikondo.
It took him a month of scouting for a perfect corner to establish himself at. Not long he found one, though was a bit far from where he stayed, and but a spot he can grow from. He knew that even though he saved enough for his move, his living arrangement wasn't comforting and as such had to work harder for a bettered space to rent. He negotiated with the woman who was a fellow vendor there for a share with her and she was more than happy as that would help a great deal. Over the days they built a strong relationship and DJ started seeing customers trickle in bit by bit. Her name was Keza Ngabo.
As months went by, a third vendor joined in to add to the aid of their customers and a market was established. One thing good about that corner of theirs was the fact that it was along the pass to the college. DJ made a connection with a lot of people there and one of them was his regular customer, Kwizera Bosco, who was a college student. Kwizera was doing his last year and planning to further his studies in university. The year came to pass and he truly went on to varsity but kept coming every second week to have his cut. Their bond grew stronger and stronger and for three years they were like that.
What DJ liked about Kwizera was how he treated him, like a brother especially in that he called him as that. One day he came to him asking for him to accompany him to his graduation ceremony with his family. DJ declined because of inferiority to his standard and Kwizera picked it up quickly and offered to buy him something decent to wear on the day and he accepted. Graduation day arrived and they went. Meeting with his family was a different experience to what he was used to being told about middle-class families. Kwizera's family was warm and very accommodating. He had a good time that day. The following day he told everything to Keza who was happy for him and started respecting Kwizera more for how he was to DJ.
Then one afternoon Kwizera passed by and gave him a birthday gift. Opening it up he found it was a ddwebbFone. He was over the moon and the next morning he passed by again to get his phone number and exchange his with him. They connected on social media platforms and at times on the new chat service on the social network block, ddwebbchat. Kwizera got a job and in his few months of employment, fulfilled a long time ago promise of partnering with DJ to open a barbershop. But this time around, what he did was to only finance him.
DJ moved from his corner stall into a formal rented space that he got to pick its furniture for. He couldn't believe it. He knew from then that only the best will follow if he work harder to impress his investor friend. Starting out wasn't easy at all but Kwizera made things better by installing an automated system to assist with daily runnings. On the side, he was busy rebooting DJ about the ins and outs of business from their talks back then. DJ learned an ocean's worth during that time, just that with a store the levels were up.
He started alone and in four months he was forced to hire help. Month nine called for an extra pair of hands and for some time they pushed satisfactorily with their clientele returning more than once and happy. All this time he was still servicing Kwizera as usual. Then trouble emerged when Kwizera got a promotion to be a CEO of some new company that was following him, and him going to DJs for a good chat and a cut got the business booming as there was too much hype around him. He was the youngest CEO of a multinational company ever in the country and among only seven in Africa. The Rwandan flag was once again flown higher because of him.

Then trouble emerged when Kwizera got a promotion to be a CEO of some new company that was following him, and him going to DJs for a good chat and a cut got the business booming as there was too much hype around him. He was the youngest CEO of a multinational company ever in the country and among only seven in Africa. The Rwandan flag was once again flown higher because of him.
He helped DJ obtain a loan for expansion as it warranted that. A day before he was granted the loan, he rode home for a visit as it's been long since he saw them. There was a buzz in the village that made him skip out to avoid further noise. It was boring because they never embraced him then but now asking for favours and some asking for employment. His profile was raised by a newspaper article about his brand DJs Barbershop. He got the loan and he set on three branches at a go from there. Kwizera gave DJs Barbershop business in a way never imagined. He took corporate friends there and at times used his top-of-the-range ddwebbFone to shoot vids and upload online which made people want to be there as well.
And because of that publicity received, DJ got a shock of his life to answer a call coming straight from the Presidency for an appointment to go and do the President's hair. Not sure what to do or say, the caller gave him time for the appointment. Appointment day came and he was there but because of an emergency engagement, missed the President. The head of communications in the Presidency took a selfie with him and posted it instantly. The post trended and created a big stir. DJ wasn't ready for such high profile life honestly. Getting back he was flanked by his staff and his life was quickly experiencing a dramatic change while he hadn't planned and prepped for a shift instead.
A few hours later another call from the Presidency asked him whether he could squeeze in a late booking and he said yes. Fourty minutes after then a convoy led to his main branch and a tipoff was already given and with less hassle the President had his cut and a good chat with DJ about life, business plans and current affairs. He was done and off to his last engagement for the day. It was scooped and was in the news and Kwizera gave him a call to go somewhere with him the following day. To his surprise he wanted to know his family as he never got around to know them.
The meet up was emotional and DJ thanked him for that. Kwizera talked him into building his parents a better home right there after hearing his mother's expressed wish of not wanting to leave her ancestral home. Three days on and the first team arrived on site and in five months it was completed and ready for his family to move in. One CEO friend of Kwizera and a regular at DJs, Manfred Ndimba, donated 80% of the furniture courtesy of his company, Primifurn. His parents were awed by all that they witnessed stepping in for the first time. The very same night, they had their first meal together for the first time as a family on one table. They never had that ever as a table was a luxury that was for the moneyed. It was emotional too for all of them, especially for his mother as she was the one who gave him money to buy his pair of scissors and a brush with a mirror at the back.
In a good space of ten years, DJs Barbershop had a head quarters office and with just over sixty branches allover the country. As an advisor, Kwizera was too expensive to afford by them as their CEO, and had that bestowed upon DJ himself though he was a tough nut to crack. DJ loved being in action and had the head quarters make space for the best barbershop in the country to use as the showcase branch for all things new to be introduced in their outlets. DJ was its manager self. He just never knew to stop. At 34, he was on the cover page of the most revered executive magazine in the world, 'Thee C-suitors' as the owner of Africa's largest barbershop chain, and also as the top sitter at position eight on Africa's top 100 list of influential people making impact on the continent.
Still mesmerized by that, the President came by per chance with the President of Gambia for a hair treatment on their way to the Aldango Ltd's gold refinery plant in SEZ. The joint humble servants of the people left enough for the whole staff to share as reward for allowing themselves to be the support base for Rwanda's and Africa's best barber, DJ. It was so humbling to DJ that he didn't know what to say for his gratitude to the two giant patrons. In the midst of that very moment was the chairman of Ring Tel, who too added something atop that which was already given by the Presidents.
The gesture spread throughout and even the haters started cheering. He soon had good news from his father telling him they're having visitors coming over to spend a weekend with them. Asking who, they said Kwizera's family. He called him to thank him. The weekend went as planned and on Monday he drove them back. It was a rainy day and after dropping them off, rushed off to a meeting with their company's prospective affiliate partners. Because of the visibility not clear, he got involved in an accident on his way there. It was a head-on collision with a bus.
During the accident he was on a call with his PA, who alerted the associates of what he just heard happen. They upped and got into the car and headed his direction. Upon getting to the scene they found him still being attended to by paramedics inside the wreckage. What they did next left the emergency personnel and other attendants shocked. They without any greetings and shame sent for the PA to jump in and take the deal file so they could go back to sign with the affiliate partners. He refused and the driver did that and back they headed minus the PA, he was left at the scene to report to them how it goes. He cried and hated his company that very instant. When Kwizera was out and put into the ambulance, the PA hopped in.
Not long calls for report back on the situation by his bosses came in and he didn't answer any. Fortunate for him, Kwizera made it and after a month got dicharged to sad knowledge of what transpired during the accident at the scene and without hesitation, quit. He contacted his former PA, Nshuti Jean, who also quit on that day, to come to the head quarters of DJs and was hired on the spot as the company assistant. With Kwizera now full-time in, the fortunes flew in worse. The combo saw the biz go from sixty three branches to over a thousand in four months through franchise model strategy. Month after month the figures rose and interest from parties outside borders saw the brand stand at seven thousand in Africa and the Middle-East.
DJ thanked his friends' globalised market thinking and continued growth shown. Then one day a familiar face was seen on the internet about it having shot a wife in a heated argument. With disbelief, Nshuti made contact with a journo friend and was true it's his former boss who shot his wife after an argument over his failure to pay for cable tv subscription. He discovered that he was unemployed and doing a scholar patrol job at an affluent primary school. After hearing that, Kwizera went to bail him out. Because of shame, he ran into oncoming traffic and a truck hit him and died on scene. The wife cremated him and his family took all of his remains. DJs by then was reported to be celebrating its first two outlets in Europe and five in South America.
At 37, DJ was a chooser in an episode of Take You Out and picked his favourite. It was the highest rated episode of the year. He later in his early 38s married his 29 year old political science graduate sweetheart whose startup agency saw its curtain fall quietly as she joined her husband in following suit of multinational companies hiring DROs (Diplomatic Relations Officer) but with her dubbed the Director of International Relations (DIR). New to the game, she failed hands down and got her lecture on board to do that with her for a year. She was too agile for the position that they ended up handing it over to the lecture and indeed did a stellar job at it. A few months later, his wife wanted out of their marriage after citing her opinions not being valued by DJ and that he was too charitable for her liking. She couldn't deal anymore with lots of people coming in their home for this or that, and all the time given something to eat for free. She was tired of feeding useless and lazy leeches with a smile. The divorce was uncontested.
DJ with a heart broken, went to visit Keza to catch up at her store. Still there, he saw an angel coming through the front door on to the back door. He gazed at her and said "my long lost wife" and astonishingly was that she was Keza's first born daughter, Malaika. He dated her for six weeks and knew he was at the right station. They got married and for the first time he was supported by both his parents and the family of Kwizera. They liked the simplistic view of hers on life and her respect, love for him and the relationship DJ had with her family with its solidity rooted in humble beginnings. Keza was the best mother-in-law. To reward her he assisted her with her long term dream of owning a dry cleaning biz. They had two girls that he loved dearly...db
Q_can you do what DJ did to get to where he is today? Have you had or currently having a supporter like Kwizera in your life? Is it true DJ made it because without a woman in his life got him focused? Would you help someone who left you on scene for dead?
Scenario 120
It started from the day he was born, the legend said, he was slyly arrogant. It's a story everyone in his neighborhood of Corat in Sumqayit, knows and tell about him to date. This built him into a man they today cheer in respect. It's true that a name can be a curse or a builder to a child. Coy Cel Tradat grew up reserved and secluded, yet smarter than his siblings. As the last born, he grew up very much detached from his family except his mother because she read him well.
After secondary schooling in his home country of Azerbaijan, he went to further his studies in Romania, where he met up with a very exclusive girl in varsity, Cici Relia Eder, who was in her second year and contemplating dropping out because of having realized she's already on her way to her dream. Relia is from a family of business and she learned a lot from her mother and uncle. Her father is a renowned violinist who plays at concerts and banquets for the affluent while her mother and uncle are running a string of a pub & grill franchise.
Coy's mother was a stay-at-home mom and his father a police officer and an AFFA referee. Coy grew up seeing football stars frequenting his home, and that alone made him the main man at school yet not close to many. He was close to Tunar Abbasov and they only separated when he went to tertiary. Coy's father, Marcel, couldn't afford his son's education and but the players made it possible to, and as such made him feel burdened to continue with studies unlike his friend.
Relia's minimalist home accessories and fixtures, Romanza Furnitures, was a supplier to two exclusive stores in Bucharest. Her products were expensive and simple to manufacture but in stores charged very high. Relia taught Coy almost everything there is to know since he told her that he wanted to break into the very market of premium and luxury goods. He told her he was into perfumes, and she fixed him a meet and greet with one of her friends who's a perfumer called Murad Barbaneagra of Wekker Fragrances.
Murad encouraged him to drop out as he was doing a course far from what he wanted to pursue while he's got a chance to get there with him. He did and within 9 months he was polished. He used the cash he was sent from home to establish his own small perfumatory and named it Coyy Perfumes. His first range 'Pusmaq' was a beginner's luck as he had no advertising or proper marketing. He caught the eye of a big distributor and signed a deal that relieved off him everything that had to do with the business side so he focused on creative side. Their splits were not favorable but was better than what he could do alone.
Coyy had a revamped container design and was sold in translucent plastic with its fragrance bottle transparent. His range came in 7ml, 25ml, 50ml, 75ml, 100ml, 200ml and 250ml (dubbed "tay size") which meant it was for couples to share. He sold unisex blends and his entry price point was € 85.00 and topping scales at € 695.00. His second release was "Dirge-ale" and it took a lot to sell as the public felt its name was dark and its scent offish. After that he came up with many products that sold well but for him to give up on Dirge-ale wasn't an option.
He approached the association of funeral parlors and sold them the idea of them adopting a uniform scent for coffins. Where's a coffin there's going to be that deathly sweet scent. The association bought the idea and had Coyy make special bottles for the industrial market. He made them 700ml and the cost was passed to clients who opted for top packages. Soon it became a hit and had to produce a scent for lower end market called "Goth-like" as it became standard for a coffin to have a deathly sweet smell. Its scent was dry and not sickening. The whole of Europe led the revolution and during Covid-19 first wave Coyy Perfumes ran out of stock and but during the second wave they produced enough and piled stock in anticipation of demand for the third wave. Coy had to triple his staff and warehousing to meet that demand.

His second release was "Dirge-ale" and it took a lot to sell as the public felt its name was dark and its scent offish. After that he came up with many products that sold well but for him to give up on Dirge-ale wasn't an option.
He approached the association of funeral parlors and sold them the idea of them adopting a uniform scent for coffins. Where's a coffin there's going to be that deathly sweet scent. The association bought the idea and had Coyy make special bottles for the industrial market. He made them 700ml and the cost was passed to clients who opted for top packages. Soon it became a hit and had to produce a scent for lower end market called "Goth-like" as it became standard for a coffin to have a deathly sweet smell. Its scent was dry and not sickening. The whole of Europe led the revolution and during Covid-19 first wave Coyy Perfumes ran out of stock and but during the second wave they produced enough and piled stock in anticipation of demand for the third wave. Coy had to triple his staff and warehousing to meet that demand.
Whenever he was home for a visit, Coy, who on social media handles used @kingcoyy was treated as such, like a king. His arrogance was warranted, especially after he had a collabo blend with Murad called He4She (written with gothic alphabets and a bold gothic numeral 4 in-between) by Coyy&Wekker that even the well-heeled had to budget for it first before purchase. It was sold only in two sizes 125ml & 225ml, retailing for €10 125.00 and €20 225.00 respectively. Expected to sell in the region of 1 000 units per annum, it sold at an average of 83 per month. Its shape was round and hollow in the middle for easier grip when using it. They used baudruchage sealing technique and an amethyst cap to preserve the scent's purity. His father arranged for him to play during one of his launches, and they did. A week after he passed on. Coyy Perfumes continue to grow despite pandemic letdowns...db
Q_was Coy really into perfumes or he saw a gap while in Romania? Is a perfumatory for producing perfumes or storing perfumes or both? Can you buy a fragrance of that price? Are tertiary dropouts more successful in business than graduates are?

Scenario 119
Head Hunters Universe (HHU) is a long trusted exclusive placements partner to large corporations in and outside of the US. HHU does labour law advisory, human capital management, candidates assessment, and periodicals contributory work. This company is a network of HR practitioners through its long list of absorbed labour law firms and labour exchange specialist organizations.
HHU is headed by Gerald Pearson, an Industrial Psychology specialist and a BBA holder. His sisters, one a nuclear engineer and the other a branding marvel, while his half-brother an F1 racer. His girlfriend is a certified marriage broker. None in his immediate family was a part of the thriving concern he runs. He is the only one left unmarried in their family yet the happiest of them all. The reason for his status a call by Xenia Cantrell, his endearing girlfriend, who is opposed to marriage for wrong reasons. Despite that, she is for the idea of family.
Xenia works for the state and comfortable there with the honorarium she receives monthly. Her boyfriend is a top earner in their company and worships money. He is the direct opposite of his girlfriend, maybe another reason she doesn't fancy herself as Mrs Pearson. She however remains the centre of his power. She learned him to be a better manager than the controller he was, something that boosted his fortunes as the favorite to run their organization. He's feared by most but neutral to her.
One day after a radio show as a random guest, a fan told Gerald how she follows and loves his work ethic and style of management. As he wasn't in a hurry, he invited her for coffee. They had a good time that left an impression on him. The next morning he called her to ask what she does for a living and if ever there's a chance they can get together again and discuss a look into her future, and she wanted for that and they met for lunch.
Lunch was super and both joyed the company. Discovering that she has a diploma in sports management, he found her to be a fit for expansion into the sportbiz. He asked she furnish their head of recruitment with her resume for an appointment with her panel for an interview. The very same afternoon before close of business the email of the recruitment director was flashing. She received it and after reading its cover letter called Gerald for more depth and his thought of the prospective candidate.
A background check was carried out and red flags found in social media platforms and from a few neighbours who complained about her lifestyle. She was a heavy drinker, party animal, provocative by her standard, a loud Aries, and a proud wantoner. As for the working side, all that was there to follow up on got checked. Her too colorful social life wasn't encouraging to say the least. Nonetheless they called her in to see and hear what ticked their leader. Her dress sense, make-up, look at others vs her body language, tonal confidence and time taken to answer were oceans apart. It was tough for the panel as they too found what he was after though a big deal compromise she was.
They moved to the next stage, which was an assessment test. She wrote well by hand but failed in typing as she never cared to take much time on her grammar and used upper caps as she was chasing after time, she wasn't strong in her articulation of facts, her favorite song/music & artist/actor/movie/radio station/magazine/newspaper/sporting code & personality/choice of colours were all screaming "release me now!" to be honest. She wasn't ready and never will be the material. Their report didn't please Gerald as he hoped for positives. He asked she be put to character vs personality test to conclude. She was given a day with a crew to spend the day after her with a sports personality of her opposite behaviour. She was bored and most of the times was spotted busy on her phone than entertaining her. The following day they gave her a sports fan and she became alive.
Whilst in her element, she showed that she's not the type that cares about anyone as the crew had put some extras to perform certain acts that she wasn't even aware of. Things like an elderly struggling to cross the street alone, boys hurling vulgarity at a girl in her presence, how she reacted to the fan she's with when littering, their conversation about climate change, last night's game score of her favorite team, which sports journo wrote better, and she flatly failed to redeem herself. Her flirtatious remarks too, were strongly not a winning combination.

Her flirtatious remarks too, were strongly not a winning combination.
There was nothing better to say of her and he couldn't do anything either. The team gave her her scorecard and she was bitter. When she left, she didn't even think of thanking them for the opportunity to learn and grow herself after that invaluable experience. She was rude. And since she had the contacts of Gerald's, she called for a meet up so she could explain herself. Gerald went and but this time felt the vibe was different and she was availing self for a piece of ass with him of which however tempting it was, decided on postponing it. She cried for an opportunity as she really needs a big break just as big as the one she messed up on and he told her it wasn't his call to make as his best being a recommendation to the senior panelist like he did. They later parted ways with his parting shot being that he'll see what to do to convince them for a second try.
That night when he got home, had a talk with Xenia about the whole thing and she said to him that it's beyond him and that he shouldn't have thrown a clean bone at her. She alerted him of dangers of dangling a carrot you're not prepared to share or give away, and the next morning he called her to let her know it's not going to happen at all and signed off with an apology for having given her false hopes. She thanked him for his honesty and most importantly his apology as it told her she truly didn't belong as it was the first time ever in her entire life hearing a high ranking official say an apology to a low class person as herself. Told him he's different indeed and thanked him for growing her indirectly.
Just after that call, he knew how nothing he is again without her girlfriend, and he called her to let her know that for the umpteenth time and they laughed. It made him see that she's actually risking losing him given how at times other women experience him and expressing it. To his surprise late that night, Xenia put her hand on the table and said to him: "this I'm going to say once and if you ever don't get it, it's off forever! Yes,,,I will,,am ready" and he jumped with joy and said "let's get married" with eyes watering.
What he didn't know was that the lady he was busy with was paid by her to do that and is one of her live test characters from her unit at work. That's what they do in testing married couples and those who are ready to commit. Her man passed her tests thrice already. Gerald doesn't cheat, lies honestly and gives people his character more than he does his personality, something that lacks in many marriages. Good thing sad though is he'll never find out as the tests aren't ending and that he won't see or hear from her ever again.
Xenia knows a lot about everyone in their family and in her in-laws side also. The problems they're encountering are purely on dishonesty, miscommunication on hits and misses, in-laws dynamics, trust deficiency, time apart not invested in each other's growth, stopped playing because of seriousness of marriage life, unspontaneous sensuality and mating techniques, failure to upgrade each's appearance for fear of outside competition, daily spousal financial competition, wrong type of support system in friends/family/colleagues & community. She knows about the dangers of pride, openness, lost love, continued commitment, not being confidants, role play & planning, and a host of other red flags that are hurdles in any relationship between lovers. In their case, she thought enough work has been done.
Within weeks a candidate for the proposed division of sportbiz was found and passed their assessment. He was from L.A and but a good match for everything in the concrete jungle NY is. He took it off slowly and gradually picked up pace. It didn't perform as expected but kept it as an injector of stability for HHU's core business division. What he didn't know also was that Xenia was responsible for unearthing the candidate. She helped him with modeling the company and its easy for her to pick for them what to use growing forward...db
Q_do you believe in love and marriage? Is your spouse as supportive as Xenia? As a leader, can you apologize to someone below your class?
Scenario 118
Anaqi bin Ibrahim and Zohan Duad were from Kuala Belait in Brunei. The two had been friends since primary school. Anaqi comes from a family business background while Zohan studied business but jobless. As they grew up in discovering selves, they grew into each other in a way more than a friendship allows. They eventually under carpet became an item at 20 years. Their parents at first didn’t read much into it until months later seeing how they behaved when together.
By sheer luck, both of their families were liberals, so they didn’t have any problem with their romantic relationship though still a taboo subject in their neighbourhood. Zohan wanted to establish a business in the city and his lover wanted to be part of it, and to show his commitment to it and him he put in the much needed founding capital. To thank him for the opportunity to invest on him and his dream, Anaqi invited Zohan to his apartment for a dinner and sleepover. The night was filled with a festivity mood and lots of hugs and kisses as they went through plans on how to go about entering the market. And because of Anaqi’s biz cred the two uncovered a gap that was less risky and affordable than Zohan’s initial idea plan. They then agreed to pressing on with coffin manufacturing and distribution and called it a night.
In the morning it was on from their last night’s cuddles warm up. Anaqi, the usual fire starter, made his move by caressing Zohan. With the pleasuring build up calling on him, he turned to look at Anaqi, the naughtier of the pair with a subtle smile that settled his nudging. They were so into each other that getting away from one another was near impossible at times. On that very jollied day, Anaqi asked if Zohan could move in with him and he said yes without hesitation. In two days’ time they were re-flip circles setting up Anaqi’s apartment anew to make space for Zohan and creating room for home office and a corner for nude yoga and meditation.
Day and night they were busy with plans and strategies on how to launch the new business. It’ll be hard they realized and but hand in hand they were prepared for the thrill of their trials journey. To step into the game wasn’t a thing to be taken light. Zohan finally came with the name of the startup entity and it was called Coffin Bar. The name got Anaqi revved up in hype over its freshness and distinctive positioning in the market. It pushed them to come with the floorplan and layout design for their parlour. It proved a bit challenging to come up with the proper look and display setup that’ll go with their concept and name. They worked tirelessly on different layouts until they agreed on one. And to afford their vision, Anaqi approached his family for a top up on funds already invested in. The amount was a premium to transfer but they did top him up. The following day the pair shook on equal partners basis.
All the compliance requirements were met to satisfaction and they sought a suitable workshop space to work from and the other for display and sales. Anaqi then bought machinery, equipment and stock for the manufacturing process. Zohan had a team of artisans that he started out with. With them they created magic as Coffin Bar specialized in your not average coffins, theirs were made of plain and plated aluminium, brightly coloured fibreglass, and hard plastic. The unusual coffins were beautifully designed and built. Coffin Bar didn’t do caskets, they produced slayets. The aluminium slayets are a two-piece item with a body sink or a bink and a lid, while the fibreglass slayet is a full body tilting coffin fitted with cheapest hydraulic lifters due to their short-term use and light weight material fibreglass is, and plastic slayet is normal shape casket that’s but made of hard plastic.
With a slayet the body gets refrigerated via the thin layered film spread on the coffin base that’s connected to a switch underneath which once pressed makes the base cold and keep the body cool even in high and extreme heat. Their invention earned them certified status as the only ideal coffin for repatriation process in that the coffins have two layers with which the battery is laid in-between the inner base layer and the outer base layer. Also, the inner base layer is mated to a perfumed lining. The coffin could have an unembalmed body put in it without decaying for up to 3 days.
It took some time for people to get used to the idea of those slayets. In the first half of their founding year they had piles of slayets stacked as sales weren’t at expectations level. On month 8 they were forced to lay off some of their staff to be able to remain operational. After a bad year of start they realized that they actually had no market in their territory, and they instead set their sights on overseas markets for prospects and growth. As a result of that move, Anaqi reached out to his contacts for assistance for access to outside of their region markets. He made contact with his close-to-people politician family friend of long time, Luke Layo, for connection. Thanks to Luke, in a space of a week they were already in talks with Kaj Hurraz, a big Greek import and export agent who not long ago was on Interpol’s red notice after an entanglement in a ghost nets saga with maritime officials. His help was a return favour to Luke for his role in squashing the charges through his network of politically connected figures in his fracas. Kaj requested they send him a sample of each item and they did that. He further forwarded them a form to furnish and return to him together with particular documents, of which to his delight they did in a speed of light. He developed a very appealing e-commerce website for them and launched it.
With the fantastic product samples that he gotten from Coffin Bar, Kaj took pics that sold the slayets in a big way never imagined before by the team. The website gained traction by traffic generation in the form of a well known commercial pastor called Ugly Bishop. He name dropped their product to the point of every follower searching the product he kept mentioning from time to time. One day he had a VR conference and invited Zohan and Anaqi and did a formal introduction of their products during that event. The overwhelming response instantly online left them flabbergasted. After the event, they thanked him and said to them that they will talk later.
In 3 days they had him enlisted to help them set up a sound distribution network and link it to Kaj’s pay gates. Ugly Bishop had a system of referrals that he used and it was effective. Adding him to their team seemed like a justified gamble that showed signs of a take off that was bigger than he promised and had them anticipated meagre margins. Within months they were gaining more ground and to their surprise realized that their footprint was taking them back to their own territory, home. Seeing how rapid they were moving, with the brand now making serious inroads into other markets, with advice from Ugly Bishop, they appointed Luke Layo as their Diplomatic Relations Officer and they thereafter regretted never their heed to his call. Luke connected the brand in a different way that complemented the referral system and built on that. His touch was above their combined knowledge and expectations. He moved the brand with buy-in from sectors that weren’t normally traditionally aligned with the “grief sector” as he now coined it, and it caught on.
To cement Coffin Bar’s blow up was through a slayet donation for a globally acclaimed human rights watch icon and philantrophist, Adv. Heidi Herbst-Eling, whose favourite colour was Orange, and had her made that in signature Burnt Pepper Orange high-gloss finish. The fibreglass slayet became the most ordered coffin in the business. And since then, state dignitaries started ordering from them, and so did celebrities and other famous influential figures. In many states their slayet became synonymous with high ranking officials while in some the slayet became the official coffin for send-off of high ranking statesmen and women.
Luke slept never on the presented opportunity and kept peddling apaced unapologetically on the back of the wave of hype created by the warming up to them by politicians the world over. In having him, Coffin Bar rewarded his efforts in all directions his stripes were painted. His position in the business elevated him to salivation by bigger players and governments because of his good work and ethic. He was given a seat in the higher ranks of government in his home country of Oman. The ministry of international relations appointed him to the portfolio of advisory to the state in that level.
Their coffins were gradually gaining more value and but sold more than standard coffins in the market yet being pricey. Instead of expanding their business on the manufacturing side internationally, they expanded strategically by buying more shipping containers to build capacity and ramped up export numbers. It made sense to them and but as they continued to grow it became apparent that they clearly needed to think otherwise in shift from that current strategy. They again still remained locally based and acquired a local warehousing services company, Intraspace, to bring their costs down for storage.
In 4 years they were big players who were then invited to international events in their country and neighbouring ones for their input on matters of the grief sector and related industry. Coffin Bar grew phenomenally over a short space of time and had only one addition to their range which was a glass coffin. The coffin was in two options, the see-through smoked glass and the frosted glass. The smoked glass, being the classy and premium one, sold lower than the frosted one. The smoked glass coffin was highly fashionable as it had leather clad handles instead of attached traditional handles. They made a statement and clients chose their colour from an array of availed sortment thereof.
The pair soon had a challenge arising from the home front. Their relationship was tested when Zohan was caught with his pants down in an awkwardly compromised position with a light-skinned tranny on top of their sheets. But, thanks to Anaqi’s maturity and graceful level-headed nature, got the situation professionally handled and off-camera woven an amends mat to roll over on for their re-unification. As new-age millionaires, such will happen and Anaqi as the calm sole and the oddo alpha of the pair, had to lead maturely regardless. After some time it was discovered that shim was a hired home wrecker who failed at the assignment procured for. The break-up could’ve caused the demise of Coffin Bar or seen it weakened to its fall. The move was orchestrated by their arch-rival Le Morr’s Burial Concepts. Anaqi and Zohan forgave them and moved on with business but ceased referring their below-bar prospects to them and started a new pact relationship with Rafael’s Funeral Home, which they in a few months bought majority stake into to tap into the casket market and drive aspiration for slayets through from.
In no time, they added the assorted coloured body bag range as the new offerings into the market which created a big stir that took the market by storm. Low-end target market families could now bury their loved ones with dignity and affordably in style with a body bag. The body bag was soon up-scaled through extended offerings which were now with either a synthetic leather or pure leather (high end in the range), a hard denim fabric, cotton fabric or rubberised polyester as the entry-level offering. The body bags are made with two linings of thin foam and foil. Rafael’s overtook its rivals in the market as it increased its market cap while making its shareholders more richer. To date, the industry revolutionaries remain as business partners who live as life partners who are cohabiting, with their success making their families proud...db
Q_are you in favour or opposed
to same sex romance and relationships, and why? Is the business world fully
embracing homosexual counterparts same as with heterosexuals? Was Le Morr’s
move a pure business move or plainly a hate based motive? Would you fancy self
buried in a slayet, especially the see-through one and why?
Scenario 117
On their family trip back from Japan they brought along 8 zabutons and some containers for proper storage of x-cat-ik for their pabular Yucatacean cuisine. Rinoul and Jacinta Vaccaro are an envy of many dreamers. Their soft life is a classic stuff of many a couple's wish. Rinoul is a commercial and corporate lawyer and his wife Jacinta is a commercial pilot while their 2 boys Kaiden (22), whom he had with Leliah Tabora, his late ex girlfriend and Gaddim (19) as his second child and only child to Jacinta.
Life is good in that household honestly and but there's no marriage without any challenges, so is theirs together with their family secrets. When their children turn 18 they buy them a car and a bank card loaded with C$18 million, and a key to their own house in their vast yard. And, to ensure their friends don't become threats to their children, they sit them to choose best 2 of their friends and give them C$180K each to buy their loyalty to their boys. When it was Gaddim's turn, his friends got C$188K to offset the 3 year gap between his and his brother's friends.
Happy and happening as the family may seem to an outsider, something scandalous hit the household. Jacinta was disturbed to witness a somewhat oddity in their boys' behaviour. This was an answer as to why Kaiden abandoned his house and stayed at Gaddim's. At first it made financial sense as they sourced a tenant to occupy the house and shared their space at Gaddim's. They plan to let the place for 3 years and have the house converted to an office for their joint venture which is still in its infancy as it's heard said.
One night Jacinta was periscoping the views around their stead as usual when she stumbled upon an obscene act that quickly made her jump to her binoculars to be sure her eyes weren't deceived by the periscope. She had a viewing room with a telescope, periscope and 2 pairs of binoculars. She saw her boys having a mating session with the same girl at once. She alerted her husband about it and promised to reprimand them when he gets back home.
Later that evening Rinoul paid the boys a visit to give them a piece of their mind on what they are doing as wrong, especially their mother's concerns. They surprised him. They talked to him still undressed and told him the act was an innocent experiment for their upcoming business, and he left with mind heavily pregnant with curiosity, something the boys did plan deliberately. He told their mother but she wasn't satisfied with that explanation and pity for her was that early at 4 a.m she'll be out to the airport for a busy 17 day schedule and to rest at their 3rd holiday home in the Sultanate of Oman before she be back in Canada.
They have other holiday homes in Egypt, Germany and Taiwan, with an apartment in India and Australia. On the eve of a big deal to finalize between 2 multinational corporations in telecoms and 1 in IT for his private equity investor clients, the best of his curiosity got the better of him. It took him to the boys' house to get a bettered understanding of their plan and their pilot project. He found them free and they rejected his untimed fact finding mission by informing him if it were yesternight or the following night, they'd do it. He made an appointment with them for the next afternoon or evening. He flew out the next morning to Miami and back very late and tired, which made him miss his appointment with the boys who went to him an hour later instead after having seen his car lights coming in but no show up.
They knocked and but was no answer. As they have the password, they let themselves in. They found him in the Western wing bedroom already asleep. It didn't bother them a bit, and they wrote him a note to extend their invite anytime on his wake up. That night they left doors unlocked for him. The boys in the meantime arranged for Diffa to arrive in the morning. By looks alone, shim was an undisputed queen of Z-listers. Them is a Japanese tech whizz trans and a partner to his sons. Their X-certificate category partnership is in the hospitality industry, of which they're busy with though still in its conceptualization phase. When he woke, he read it and readied self for a meeting with them.
Going in he was met with a manly female who welcomed him and ushered him to his reserved seat. He was thrown aback by that and still puzzled, a projected vision popped up for a presentation. He was for 4 minutes taken through a journey into an adult fun haven. Project "X/Y Cumpy" is a hit tomorrow any investor who isn't negative as he himself admitted to it them after the presentation. It's a partnership with 2 hotel groups who're on the verge of a merger, where there'll be a dedicated section in their hotels where every gender is welcome to express self freely without judgment. The section will be a premium paid space where service is 0-human as there'll be robots to accompany you.
The humanoids will do whatever you want and will remain a secret. Be it a massage, chatting or anything else that may bring satisfaction to you, they'll cater to you. This is ideal for business travelers as they get lonely at times and needing a company of a stranger for the time being or otherwise, and also a solution to cheating, and lastly a savior of couples in that divorce rates will be lowered as a result. The humanoids will be of both genders, the patron will choice the X or Y suitor. A card will be bought online after screening and credits uploaded for use at all their hotels where the section will be.
Then, Rinoul asked what's the role of their partner Diffa, and they said them is the developer of their humanoids, and a personal stimulant for both of them. He asked how, and they said if he's ready and free to explore be their guest, and he said instantly "yes of course" and Diffa went on to him and started them's magic. The boys slowly undressed as they weren't sure of his further response. He was tense at start but within minutes was relaxed. His boys got him turned into something he'd never been or done before, a massage by a trans and an incestuous foursome. During the inbreeding, he did wonders to Diffa and his sons cheered him. Post the session he formed a pact to swear to their secret and had them sing a "pacta sunt servanda".
After 3 nights he went back to ask his boys to organize another session and to his illfared cravings, found that his sons were out and Diffa was alone to tighten some flaws in the dialogue program as they wanted to make it accommodate trilogue as per the trilemma put to them by their investors. Diffa jumped onto him and did their do quickly before them's bosses got back. When Jacinta came back Rinoul told her about Kaigaddif Tectronins and she backed the initiative. To the Kaiden and Gaddim it came as an unthinkable move when their parents wanted to invest as well in their venture. It gave the venture enough to push and also having Rinoul represent them a bonus.
On the next meeting with the investor partners, a lot of matters were raised and ironed out. The twist of events led to the investors rescheduling for another set down for finality, and it came to closing as they agreed to all terms and an agreement 5 times originally set at prior signed on. The merger was then effected in that huff as well. With celebrating spirit in order, the 4 flew out to Taiwan for a befitting celebration. This time around they went overboard and together did things to Diffa. They flew back to Canada a night after.
A year later the mega hospitality group '#y@yv hotels' was launched and the section introduced to potential clients only. The section was a millionaires' hit and in no time the idea raked in big figure dots. On the other hand, Diffa was busy with enjoying the continued attention of the boss partner and his sons on the other side.
Q_how long can this secret last? What'd happen when Diffa gets tired? Does the idea of humanoids appeal to you?
Scenario 116
Saah was a very proud woman. She was lucky to have met a very tolerant rich man who ended up marrying her, with the hope that through marriage she'll be a better person but not. His love for her made him an outcast in his family. Saah didn't care less about her husband's sad battle with his family for choosing her over them.
Saah's husband, Zayn De Bona, was a mall manager and a preacher at their church. One day Saah came home with a boy called Teri and told her husband how he needed assistance and a shelter, and that she thought of him staying with them if it's not a problem. Zayn asked why him as there're others who do need such help like him, and she said the boy's sob story is similar to the one about her friend, and Zayn accepted him.
Saah had a business and she suggested to Zayn how about Teri be their assistant at their home and her business to pay back for the help he received. Zayn loved that idea and they put him on probation, of which in just three weeks was like a glove to a hand in their lives. Zayn started being hard on him and then realized he was respectful and humble. He was so proud of him that he even gave him his heart. Teri was twenty, and very slim framed, with a beautiful smile that complemented his young flowy face. He was so reliable and trustworthy.
As the adopted son now, Zayn taught him to even drive, so he can take his younger brother and sister to school, shopping and at times drive him to work and church. Then one day their church cleaner came in because of seeing Saah's car parked outside. She knocked but there was no answer and she decided to go knock in the back door. Passing by the bedrooms, she heard funny noises and checked what was wrong, only to peep on Saah and Teri in bed together through the small opening on the curtain. She took out her phone and recorded the portion of their act and went back.
The following day she went to their household again and as usual held a prayer session together. They're used to holding hands when praying, and on that day the church cleaner chose to hold both Zayn and Teri by being in between them, and Saah became angry and started fighting her behind to get her not to hold Zayn's hand. Zayn suspected their animosity but got no answer when asking both aside. The church cleaner a few days later confronted Saah and battle lines were officially drawn.
In the morning the church cleaner came by to find Teri reversing Zayn's car to ready it for him on his way out to work, and had a small chat with him. Saah saw her through the window and went out to attack her, telling her how ashamed she should be for trying to abuse and pollute the mind of a young innocent worshiper. With guilty eyes, Teri quickly got out of the car and went straight into the house to hand Zayn his car keys, and into his room. He wasn't comfortable anymore. Outside, as Saah was also on her way out, promised to come back to deal with the church cleaner after work, and got into her car and drove off. Out of spite, the church cleaner went into the house and asked for a minute from Zayn and showed him the footage, of which he froze and fell. His laptop bag dropped and broke the glass table in their sitting room. He was taken to the hospital and spent five weeks there.
Out of hospital, the first thing he did was file for divorce. With shame she had no nerve to contest it and they went separate ways. But, because of children, they kept contact. The divorce lasted nine years until they got back again for the sake of their children to try and start over again, though was hard for him to be fully in as he still had flashbacks of their first failed attempt. Reason for that being that they separated without a sorry ever uttered by her except Teri who did so after being told what transpired, and into the thin air he was, a history wished away by the hurt man who put his whole in it. He too was hurt by what they did to Zayn but was late and no circumstances were in favor of such sentiments.

He too was hurt by what they did to Zayn but was late and no circumstances were in favor of such sentiments.
Saah kept her business on but because it was partly a success due to Zayn's influence on people, without his face and voice behind the marketing of it, things didn't go as before but she kept on regardless. Defying his family again, he got Saah move in with him to win full love from his children. It was no longer about him but for their children. The good thing was none actually moved on during the separation.
As he never got to fully heal and recover from the betrayal by his ex wife, he went to his lawyer to seek advice going back in. The lawyer advised that he do a prenuptial contract and he'd help him going forward, and they agreed. Saah, because of pressure to make amends the second time around, agreed to Zayn's terms and had his lawyer come in to sign the marriage contract. They slowly worked on their lives as a couple again but was different from all angles. Zayn took some time to really get warmed up and but finally got gelling in the end of their third year together. During all that time Saah was patiently well behaved and so loving. Zayn fell in love again and still failed to fully erase the experience, he was always on guard.
Years on into their cruise Saah got seduced by another younger business manager for a company she was a client to. The young man happened to be the son of the owner. One day she met with him and he was with the father and Saah couldn't resist the power that hit her in an instance that she ended up crossing floors to the older one and but kept her younger lover pampered, though in smaller pipes than been before. The son found out and ended his involvement in the loop and but never said anything to his father about his new love interest.
The business owner was friends with Zayn's boss, and one day sent him a pic of him and Saah. Zayn's boss purposely made him aware of what his wife does with other men. In a week's time, Zayn's boss arranged for a meeting with Saah and passed a remark at her that made it clear to her that her husband is suspicious of their relationship. Saah out of trying to work it out poisoned her daughter against her father to concoct a story that he sexually abuse her but that never worked. On the other side, because he was a divorcee, the business owner mentioned a talk of wedding bells after reliably been told of her marriage regime and that got Saah to boldly tell Zayn she's about to file for second divorce on their marriage.
In the fall of days, the lawyer made time and asked for Saah to come with her lawyer, but she didn't and instead brought her young cousin whom she claimed to be knowing all about the law. He asked for him to record the whole session with his video camera, and she agreed. The lawyer asked her to bring her copy of their marriage contract and she went upstairs and quickly back with it. He asked she give it to her cousin to peruse and then discuss its contents, of which he did. He then said he's done and ready to assist his cousin. The lawyer pulled out a small piece of paper and they saw was an affidavit from their daughter stating in it how her mother tried poisoning her against her father for her own selfish gain. She said nothing and asked they skip to the divorce terms in their marriage.
The lawyer told them to look at the contract and tell him what's written on it, and they each told him it's written prenuptial contract of marriage between the two, and he repeated that three times in a row. Not getting it, Zayn asked why is he doing that and the lawyer said there was never any marriage between the two and the know-it-all cousin should've picked that up by then if he were good as he claimed to be. The statement infuriated him and demanded the lawyer to explain himself.
The lawyer calmly asked them to read the watermark in the document, and that got him swearing at his cousin about how foolish she was to have signed a sample document of their marriage as it's written "specimen" in underlying bold. Retaliating against her cousin, said he too was nothing more than a small dicked lowlife wannabe who siphoned off thousands of dollars from her for nothing. The cousin said she was glad to open up her parliament to him and that she was never his type and also that his dear girlfriend is waiting for him at home, by then upping and leaving her to deal alone with her shenanigans.

The cousin said she was glad to open up her parliament to him and that she was never his type and also that his dear girlfriend is waiting for him at home, by then upping and leaving her to deal alone with her shenanigans.
Saah was reminded that the house she sheltered under belongs to Zayn and as such she'll have to pack and leave that very minute and she said she's going to her new home that's triple the size of his boxy shack in Malibu. And again, the big car she's driving was deposited by her and the instalments paid for by him and as such should settle that too before she drove off. She took her phone and asked how much and she transferred it same time. She stormed out without her children as they by then wanted nothing to do with her.
One week exactly passed, and she was full of regret as the love of her life wasn't really into her but her assets, and had dumped her after it emerged that the alleged cousin was found to be a toy twink of hers who happened to have coughed out a bucket full of sins on what transpired on the day of the divorce set down. The man got to know about how her business is bleeding from her profits burn and how she survived through alimony all along and now on her own, so, he didn't want a burden into his fruitful life. Saah was frustrated and had to sell a large portion of her business and some group of investors bought it and within two months wanted her fully out as she added no value at all, and she took the money. She invested it in a small hair care products manufacturing and distributing company.
She bought a two roomed flat and stayed there with a much younger blood and a very small car that strikingly reminded her of the day she asked her sister and mother how they were breathing inside a moving coffin with her three kids in there, but despite all that she was happy to be sad away from the eyes of those she knew in LA. She got by but life was different and tiring with her constant fights for her young bear with milfs baying for his youngling blood. She lived in regret while on the flip side things were up for Zayn and the children.
Q_if were in Zayn's shoes, would you have gone back with Saah after that betrayal? Do you think Saah will dare to go back to Zayn in future? Has Saah ever loved Zayn? What was she not getting in Zayn?
Scenario 115
Growth Tenure is a big business coaching organization that has more than 470 business leaders under its programs. It's DG, Leonard Penuel Forrester, is an incumbent CEO of a global shipping company, Crossx Shipping Co or as popularly known CSC. Better known as LP Forrester, he is a raw emotional speaker who never hides his feelings about anything that bothers him.
LP Forrester has a speech writer who is responsible for all his public briefings and other related information conveyed on official capacity as DG. His speech writer, Amelia Henley, is a former teacher who's strict on grammar, something that made her and LP Forrester to sometimes clash over his speech deliveries. She's a communication specialist. The two often have some squabbles also over his use of her words as CEO of CSC without any consent sought from her, but they were a very tight pair regardless.
One day an invite came in from one of Growth Tenure's sponsors, Vari-Gas Ltd, to grace the occasion as a guest speaker of honour on the night. As usual Amelia prepared a speech for him. Going to the event, his brother called congratulating him on making it past the Fortune 200+ into the 150+ league at 188 from 234. It showed that he's practicing what he's preaching unlike former Crossx's bosses who failed to pick it up to that level. He is celebrated in silence for fear of having him unleash his arrogance. He do wonders wherever he gets appointed.
En route to the event he called Amelia to go through the speech again and he was all set for the do. Him arriving was half the main course of the event as he was a better proposition than Growth Tenure's chairman. His usual free spirited shine lit the whole ballroom.
The event got underway and award recipients went on stage one after the other. And then the host's speaker gave a celebratory speech and to close off was LP Forrester. He sent Amelia a text message to alert her that he's going to deviate from the speech and speak from his heart, and Amelia panicked. Amelia called the VP of CSC to inform them she's got nothing to do with the speech he's about to deliver. Once stood up, a loud minute ovation worn him dignity. He looked at his wrist watch and laughed, to which everyone did alike. He told the packed venue that the joke's on him and you (pointing at men). Said: "you won't get me now but you'll understand when I finish". The whole place went dead to pay attention to the speech as he's known for incredible statements in his deliveries all the time. He lastly said: "this might prove to be the last speech I make as the chairman of Growth Tenure or even as the CEO of CSC. And again like I said now, you'll understand when I finish".
By saying that he was giving them a chance to record him. His speech was as follows: "It's a worry to me today what we witnessed. Of all figurines that collected accolades, something significant happened. Male figurines wake to your close out! Almost 80% of all recipients were your opposite. Gone are those days a woman used to cheer for you and bragging to everyone that that's my man up there, as today it's a man doing that. A male figurine cut a sorry figure of former merit to its glory as his better half is now the assumer of the pole position. But then, how do you enter a figurine? Let me phrase it in this fashion; How do you enter a fairer figurine? And also, how do you enter a macho figurine?" and the audience went dead silent.
He continued: "The keys to soteria are in the direction of the well chiseled figurine and once power gets densified as a dress code for that figure, rivers will be cried by you the macho figurine. A doctrinal aura of gender equality an equity stake you'll walk dead a long mile in, it won't be easy to return for even a bogus 50/50 but a non-negotiable pro-rata against you. You are by nature a soteriophobe but giving that away. A chiseled figurine when put on the podium won't hesitate in croqueting you in favour of their homogenous type. I know it's not comfortable to your lovey-dovey setup you're in presently, but just my obsession with undetectable shifts.
The sin of the macho figurine is its act of denying the regime to vanquish their intact state for its favour with opportunity unlike the chiseled figurine. Or is it maybe because of the number of gates to unlock in enter of? One has two while the other just one, with which is hard to strut out. Trust me, the master keyholder himself struts haughtily about the entire sectors dangling his keys to the power kingdoms of one's desire. The truth is, the chiseled figurine has long figured it out that the power to their desired kingdoms is up for grabs, and closing all vivid gabs. Macho figurine, you're failing the breed you are. Rise to the occasion again and erase the old doors you drew closed, draw anew open ones with handles only you can use. Transformative approach they preach is a repackaged replacement of key placements that once wrote in bold your gender. Look today, all Italized and underlined to no longer attract but accommodate the beauty spotting eye. Everything is soft, ask yourself why? It's to make it less appealing to you any more.
There's a reassignment of gender roles that if not weeded out having a chance of repeating itself, and should it be not, a probable generational rebind that's sure to write a dogma. There's a good reason our bulges differ, and it was for the difference each can be in their role. Time is now we resign from the auto-pilot mode we drifted off with and go back to us. This whole detachment isn't taking us anywhere. Your inferior loyalty is getting overtaken by premium loyalty enshrined in them. The choral formation is no longer asame, baritone and tenors are the frontliners now.
In this capacity I stand before you but knowing what lies ahead. This speech isn't a rosy stimulus but a thorny colloquium mired in quotation marks that'll be contextually mismarked. Talk about people wanting transparency until you give it, and then bucket loads of empty approvals be ditched for you to deliver them alone. Lastly, well done to you all our recipients for the stellar stimes you've shown you're. Your raised hands were seen and with these accolades a gesture to same. Hope it not be a hiatus to your promising start. And always remember that, 'no matter how hard life could be for you dear child, strive to be the hero in your mother's eyes; let none tell you otherwise for in her that's where your blessings are securely bellied'. Thank you for having honoured me with such an appointment to confirm your receiving of them." He recused himself quietly in a mood of bitter sweet fair. An applause registered only after he sat on a chair that was now repositioned to be distant from both Growth Tenure's chairman and Vari-Gas's president. It was obvious to everyone he's out.
Going out of the building he switched his phone off. The next morning he went to work and switched on the phone to a flood of beeps. His email inbox a same scene. Amelia was awaiting him and told him what he knew. She told him about the board's disappointment in his speech yesterday and are contemplating on firing him. He never once flinched and said it's not about him but rather the caged men in sidelines lacking a voice of reason to say that it's not okay, and he solely offered self as that. Amelia asked him if he hates her, and he said he's fighting against the dominionism a female is implanted with for male opposition so the select few of the already leveraged elite can amass more deitihood.
Two hours later in came a letter via the board's secretary from the board of directors about his suspension for putting the company name into disrepute. He responded by a resignation letter and 45 minutes afterwards a press statement was released. By 3 pm he was all packed and bidding adios with a limo ready outside. At 4:47 pm it was allover the biz news that LP Forrester is the newly appointed COO of Transpedit, a bank that gives loans to industrialized companies. And to the pressure for CSC now was that it has a loan application to Transpedit that's pending. Amelia at 5:02 pm called him alerting him about the stress levels of the CSC's board as they worry he may derail their plans for expansion. LP Forrester assured him he's onto another page in that hour and closed the CSC one. Amelia was relieved.
In rankings, CSC was now out of the 150+ league and back into the 250+ in just 2 quarters. In contrast to that, Transpedit was moving up. CSC was slowly turning into the laughing stock of the industry and quarter to quarter a new CEO came in from the door one just got out with. It was chaos until he recommended to them his secret weapon in the form of Amelia as their MD. She learned a lot from him and she's got a BBA that none cared to take notice of. She did well in stabilizing the company and bit by bit stepping up.
21 months into his contract with Transpedit it was rumoured CSC is offering LP Forrester a free 3% stake for him to be back, a recommendation by his friend Amelia. It was unfortunate in that it came an hour late as he had just agreed to be part of an Electronics conglomerate that has 16 multi-billion dollar subsidiaries and had 2.5% of it. He was an hour into serving his notice at Transpedit. Signing that contract will make him a billionaire. It left Amelia disappointed but happy for him. She was a millionaire by then, something she's never envisioned self a day in her life being.
Q_would you sabotage your ex employer if you happen to be in a position that allows you to? What does the speech say to you? What's an incumbent executive?
Scenario 114
VP Cirq is a textile manufacturing company that specializes in soft denim jeans. VP Cirq is part-owned by two Arabian twink twins, Vafa and Pason Mahmud of Deira in Dubai. The jeans brand formerly known as Sheikh Jeans, never got anywhere until the pair approached its owners with a proposition for the brand to give them an equity in exchange for a rebranding and repositioning deal. Though sceptical about it the owners in the end agreed for a hefty 30% stake to them.
Vafa and Pason Mahmud were social media darlings since they were 14 when they used to do nude yoga in a dark room which took the internet by storm. Their vids left viewers building for themselves their pics mentally of them naked. Not the type to be limited by anything and anyone, they reintroduced Sheikh Jeans to the world as V&P Jeans and 2 years fell with the new brand identity not making any inroads as thought and promised. The twin Sagittarians met the textile magician in the guise of Hosni Isias Mohammed of H.I.M boutiques via a friend. The seasoned salesman was struggling to secure global appeal luxurious apparel brands exclusive enough to shelve in his boutiques.
It wasn't easy to get to sit him down and hear them out until their friend told them they must be willing to do anything and everything to secure a spot in his office so he could have them say their piece to him. They said they'd do whatever it takes to have him all to themselves. 10 days later the friend sat them down and laid the way the appointment with Hosni's will be. Told them he's into their type and if are wanting to do business with him will have to be rubbing sensual auras with his. At first they weren't agreeing to that but Pason said it's fine he'll do it. The friend made a call to him and fixed an appointment with Pason but Hosni asked about the other and he said he's not sure if he's going to make it. Hosni asked who the majority is between them and got told they're equal partners, and said that makes it a trio meeting. Pason had no choice and nodded so their friend seal it for them.
Pason asked what actually transpires during such meetings. He told them it goes in three parts, the pre-session, session and post-session, and off-session engagements afoot revivals for their commitment to the deal. Vafa asked how the hell does their friend know all about this and he said it's because he's close to Hosni's business manager, Dayi Amin via his sister. He further added that they will have to have a practice before they meet up and he'll be happy to assist them if they're open to that. Seeing that they had no choice, Pason said it's fine. They went to his apartment and had a crash course with him.
Day came and they met with Hosni at his home in Al Bash 2. He's not as intimidating in person as opposed to how he's portrayed in news. He even admitted to that. The meeting was fruitful for the first leg, and for the second leg had his manager recused so they begin with non-formalities of the formal deal. He asked if they knew what they were about to engage in and they affirmed. To their surprise, said they do the warm up to show they were there for what they want. Vafa said that it is but an incessant act and Hosni said the core part of their sacred engagement. Vafa threatened to walk out and tell the whole world about it and but got worried when he showed no sign of worry. Then asked them if they're saying it's their way of pulling out, and Pason quickly said that their in, just that they weren't told this will be part of the deal. He said every deal has its tweaks and in that one it's that. They braved the trivial brace and he joined in later after being sure how seriously they want it. After that he signed with the twins.
As he directed, after 3 days they got a call from his business manager for a meeting with them. They met and they were told to change the brand to VP Cirq from then on. Dayi took them to one of their outlets in Palm Jumeirah and the twins were serenaded by the display with "VP Cirq coming soon" on brass shelves, with an opened blank paged catalog reading "Soon to know more about me when I arrive in 30 days" which they were told that everyday a new one with days counting down will be put. They were impressed by that teaser.

Day came and they met with Hosni at his home in Al Bash 2. He's not as intimidating in person as opposed to how he's portrayed in news. He even admitted to that. The meeting was fruitful for the first leg, and for the second leg had his manager recused so they begin with non-formalities of the formal deal. He asked if they knew what they were about to engage in and they affirmed. To their surprise, said they do the warm up to show they were there for what they want. Vafa said that it is but an incessant act and Hosni said the core part of their sacred engagement. Vafa threatened to walk out and tell the whole world about it and but got worried when he showed no sign of worry. Then asked them if they're saying it's their way of pulling out, and Pason quickly said that their in, just that they weren't told this will be part of the deal. He said every deal has its tweaks and in that one it's that. They braved the trivial brace and he joined in later after being sure how seriously they want it. After that he signed with the twins.
As he directed, after 3 days they got a call from his business manager for a meeting with them. They met and they were told to change the brand to VP Cirq from then on. Dayi took them to one of their outlets in Palm Jumeirah and the twins were serenaded by the display with "VP Cirq coming soon" on brass shelves, with an opened blank paged catalog reading "Soon to know more about me when I arrive in 30 days" which they were told that everyday a new one with days counting down will be put. They were impressed by that teaser.
The next morning they received a video clip of other flagship stores in the whole of the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen, S.Arabia, Oman and Iran. Soon there was hype around their brand while in the background things were happening. VP Cirq was being manufactured and a relaunch worked on in that 30 days. In that whole dusting noise, the twins were told to just be busy handsoming themselves for the relaunch, thus meaning they were absent throughout. In the last 7 days to the relaunch, Vafa and Pason were having hectic schedules for shoots and appearances across the country, a life they so longed for and promised to the bosses of their brand. They had not even once met Hosni ever since until the business manager sent them to his office on the last day before the relaunch. He wanted for them to perform the rebirth of their being and their brand. It wasn't a big deal anymore as they were then seeing what their risk has panned out.
On their way back they asked the manager what couldn't have been hadn't they performed the rebirth, and he said to them that by tonight there would've been two new faces signed on to appear as the faces behind the premium brand VP Cirq. He reminded them that they did the photo shoots and appearances as trailer teasers and not as the forces behind the creation thereof. They got to understand that they've still got a long day in their career to learn. When they said so aloud, Dayi told them that's why it's important for them to have a business manager. They were by then more of brand ambassadors than business owners thanks to the contract they signed with H.I.M as the takeover managers.
The relaunch went well and the orders skyrocketed despite the price hiked up 1 675%. VP Cirq sold for a cool hefty AED 5 000.00 a pair and yet were snapped up like they were given for free. The pair were for the first time seeing and feeling their brand during the relaunch. The owners were overwhelmed by the wild reception of the now brand and no more doubtful of the twins. In just 3 weeks the brand was destined for overseas markets. H.I.M was raking it in as they were the sole distributor globally and in control of the price, buying stock at AED 850.00 and AED 800.00. They paid the owners their asking price and they resold at their own set price. The jeans were nothing asame any in the market worldwide.
The jeans were sold as "gloved jeans", meaning they had a lining inside and were into two types, the first was the tight glove and the other a loose glove. The lining was of rubberoid. The tight glove had the lining sewn one side and when worn tightening the wearer's leg to their shape but not showing out. This material made them feel warm during winter and in sunny season cool as the jeans provided shade to the lining covering the leg. The loose glove was a lining that formed a rubber layer between the wearer and the jeans. It too made for a comfy wear but not giving the experience like that of the popular tight glove. The A-list celebrities endorsed the brand freely and peddled sales worse. The good thing about it was that the twins were already social media influencers of sort and as such had none to pay for endorsement as they did it self.
The gloved jeans won international awards for innovative design and evolut concept in textile industry. Because of the success of their brand, manufacturing had to be in 3 more geographies and they chose India, China and Brazil. Demand was still not met but was better. With success came fake versions but the original still stood the test of hype.
Thinking that they've now made it, Vafa told Hosni that he thought it was time they parted ways and Hosni reminded him there'll be consequences for such a call to move on. Thing is Hosni is that type who never tells you straight but do so by asking close-ended questions more than open-ended ones. With that, Vafa came to understand what they got selves into and he solely offered self to him to calm his nerves as an appeaser. Again, was because it became clear to him that they've got nothing except him for their sustenance and survival.
Dayi was ever busy with granting rights to sell in retailer agreements. As time goes, there were some improvements to the tight gloved jeans. The gloves were given a tweak. There were now punched glove and plain glove, and sales were revived by those wanting to have the second tight glove. The gloved jeans are still doing well in the market. The twins remains loyal to H.I.M as their sole distributor globally and a partner to them.
Q_why would you buy a pair of gloved jeans? How would life be for the twins outside of H.I.M? Was Dayi truthful when assuring them that he's got their backs? How can brands best deal with counterfeit goods of their products?

Scenario 113
Pirex Fau, Edrin Onnaro and Alsinah Novi were a very interesting trio in business circles. They ran a bended wood furniture factory in the belly of Marlborough in Wiltshire, England. Their factory, oFn Creations, was a beautiful business that's failing to grow. The challenge was their major client sells furniture in the mainstream and their contract with them not allowing them to be in competition with them unless with a different product.
In the six years and their marriage with DRG Furnitures they went from a small unknown firm to a know yet strangled supplier of bended wood furniture. Edrin was the marketing director while Alsinah was the graphic designer. Pirex was financial director and the majority shareholding partner of oFn. oFn had nine employees on its payroll less its three top employees, the bosses.
Quite a lot of other bigger players were keeping tabs on the business of oFn for some time. Pirex was a troubled sole as he realized that they weren't playing dice trap to DRG but instead them played. One day he went out to sit down the majority shareholders of DRG to renegotiate their marriage terms but were too thick for his penetration. He appointed a business lawyer to assist in their debacle and the lawyer, Samantha Rengitala of Yeev x Ginaro Corporate. From then the game bade bubble feast to freedom of being in just one consultation and instruction.
Samantha directed he forward to her the contract they had with DRG together with all minutes and resolutions thereto for perusal. She unearthed some discrepancies and loopholes that but she chose to ignore as she saw an opportunity for herself in the solution she had for her client. She called in Pirex and proposed to buy a stake in oFn Creations, and asked he go back to think about it and to sit again for it before she came to a solution for him in 96 hours. It took just 18 hours for Pirex to request for their day in office again.
Pirex played the game same as her by asking she came up with her solutions to allow him to decide whether he wants her in or out. Samantha told him they can opt for a termination and or continue and have a new business that does same thing but not be a subsidiary and rather a new established brand. He dived in and said yes to partnership with her and had him reduce his promise to paper. After a week they had everything wrapped up and she was prepping for the boardroom with DRG lawyers. In the meeting she introduced herself on record as the lawyer for oFn Creations.
She then put in an unusual offer to acquire a portion of DRG and they rejected it straight away, and she left. The next step was have a new company incorporated and buy oFn. She informed DRG and they immediately requested to meet same day and they honoured that call. In the new meeting she introduced herself as the partner and director of legal affairs for Bendex Furn. They were specializing in curved minimalist furniture. The acquisition meant that it's either they renegotiate the deal or it's off in that it was never shielded from future sale of the company and the exclusivity clause was also done away with. The Bendex team gained flexibility and independence from the clutches of a big corporation.
Edrin was now at liberty to sell to anyone their brand which now expanded into glass, concrete, wood, aluminium and leather. It was amazing how Alsinah brought shapes from paper to screen to finished article piece with so much elegance. Bendex Furnitures became thee best of the best and the well heeled were made to acquaint with it as their new found penchant.

Bendex Furnitures became thee best of the best and the well heeled were made to acquaint with it as their new found penchant.
Not long, Samantha gave up the legal practice rat race to join the business fulltime. Being not the one to be left behind trends, Samantha dropped her short-term lover for a brighter future with Pirex to become the power couple she's been dreaming of. She had long wanted a man who is loaded, influential and known in corporate America, and with Pirex she just couldn't miss that for anyone. She found a macho and handsome figure that can turn her life around for the better. She was head over heels.
One thing about Pirex was that every woman was eyeing him and sadly he never afforded any of them into his pants and she was the first. It didn't mean he's a virgin. He did played back then before his rise to his power. Attaining more power was in how he branded himself. He was attractive to both genders and never had self committed to either side, but had some private BDSM voyeurism sessions with paid adult industry professionals. He was kinky and calmly wild spirited. What Samantha fantasized about wasn't a set perfect possession she thought was.
Pirex introduced Samantha into his dark world of sensual pleasures, and because she was already in and publicly traded as her tout, had to suck up the surprises and ride the pleasurism wave. In the short run she was enjoying the secrecy and being one with oddity attached. The couple was rising in power to stardom in business as Bendex was growing. The Faus were in control of 52.5% of Bendex and they made a decision to sell to the partners their stake but they failed. Samantha and Pirex then sold their combined stake for a staggering £ 318m to some French consortium.
With no wish to ever work a day in their lives, they invested £ 205m and had tax deductibles taken care of from the remainder, and toured Africa and ultimately settled there. Because of pressure in rough relationship with the new bosses, Alsinah and Edrin sold their shares and went back to revive oFn to rebrand as on Creations, but didn't quiet cut it and had it too sold at a loss. Post that deal the two decided to split to try individually. Edrin was hired by a retail bank and Alsinah opened a small design agency and push.
Q_how many other solutions could oFn had if you were a lawyer for it? Why didn't Alsinah and Edrin grew together as partners? Will the Faus remain happy with their choice according to you, and why?

Scenario 112
Pegenda Udinkpe and wife, Ngozi, are partners in a game ranch called Ikokodji Game Reserve in Bauchi state, Nigeria. The elderly couple had a deal with an aviation company that has helicopters in its fleet for hire, and they leased two of their helicopters for aerial trophy hunting ease. The two helicopters were attractive to the target audience.
One day, whilst on air, a guest hunter with a rifle in his arms lost grip because of his excitement of a big catch he made. He was celebrating and the pilot made a swift turn that saw him thrown out of the chopper with no emergency gear or any safety equipment on him, straight to the surface of the earth and died upon impact. Paramedics and police were called to the scene and a case of culpable homicide was opened. The police needed some statements for their investigation.
It was embarrassing to find out that the pilot manning the chopper was reeking of alcohol. The fallen hunter who was using the game reserve's rifle, wasn't licensed to hunt. There was no third party liability insurance cover for their service as well. With matters stood like that, the parties involved where charged.
Q_who's actually to blame for the death of the fallen hunter? What's your view on trophy hunting?

Scenario 111
Black Vermilion chocolate is LaVida Nolis' best bet, their sales were proving to be growing quarter after quarter with an average of 6.7%, all thanks to their incumbent CEO, Lars Forrett. Half Scandinavian with French origin from a divorce family background, Lars got roped in at a point when the company was in the red and slowly turned the tide in their favour. His magic, black vermilion chocolate.
When it hit the market, sexy was out in chocolate and he tamed it back there to capture the essence of its glory with dense curiosity. None was waiting for it, even executives at LaVida Nolis, Ecuador's new best exporter of premium chocolate. Some were criticizing his new blend because of his lack of experience in that industry but with the unwavering support from the company Chairwoman, Luz Flores, showed why she wanted him for this. In order for him to win it, he pitched to her about a Belgian chocolate expert who's not being well taken care of where he's plying his trade at. The young free spirit soul is dying to do wonders for the industry and he's ready to spring out since his blends weren't being considered.
The only challenge with the chap was that he suffers from sleep enuresis (bed wetting) and is pinning his hopes on him to assist him in dealing with it for good, and he had that promised already in exchange for him being his ally. At 28, he's still single and sensually pure. He fails his plug because of that condition. An appointment with a Urologist was guaranteed with the condition that he sign with him and he'll be attended to by one of Quito's best. He indeed signed for a 10 year term with him and it's paying off while his progress on the personal front also going right.
Lars' muse, Olaf Leekens, who learnt about chocolate making in Switzerland, is glad to be having his own space to work from. He worked anonymously for the first assignment as probation which was the vermilion and it's a bomb. He's not the relaxing type, he's ever trying this over that and that after that. With black vermilion chocolate being the number one seller in all markets, the world is putting its eyes on the master chocolatier LaVida Nolis.
The next blend was the wine chocolate and it too stopped everyone and gave them a reason to talk chocolate anew in a fresh way unlike done with chocolate wine. Wine chocolate was not a blend for everyone but made them want it. Olaf was delivering as promised and made Lars the king of the market. Back in Belgium, Cytrogaris, the chocolatier that underused Olaf, was busy in talks with his family to have him come back home to work with them, but it was not to be as they knew his reasons for going with Lars, unbroken promises.
Olaf was now running a unit and was the leader of 8 epicurean experts from various food processing industries and coming with new ways of conching, blending and tempering. They came up with a "sexuative blend" as they called it, and the result was zygochoc. This made the world of confectionery stop and for a sec opinions were split on the truth about the blend. Sales went up 1 340% in just two days of its launch. For two months, LaVida Nolis was forced to concentrate only on production of the zygochoc. At last, chocolate was commonly thought of in a sexual way.
Because of blown up demand for the zygochoc, expert scientists were debating whether the sperm dies in fermentation or having any effect on the consumer upon eating it. It created a huge stir. The worst thing that peddled sales was Lars's non-revelation of the source for their sexuative blend. A week after deafening speculation, Lars held another press conference to reveal the source and said it's from a mammal with high protein in its seminal fluid, and turned away. New following day news reports were mentioning cow, some sperm whale and speculation was more rife. Luz Flores was clapping all day long in cheer of the genius Lars Forrett was.
From then, Lars took no more interviews to allow wave ride longevity and for the first time the name of Olaf made the news. It emerged due to his cousin gloating to friends about him in a pic on the website of LaVida Nolis. She leaked the info unawares and but it had no impact as he went to media conferences and but wear a zip lock mask and put his finger on it to show he's either not allowed to speak or not willing to talk. The story was a headliner for weeks and shares were rallying. Month end came and the last one to out office was Olaf. He got a fat bonus of US$ 950K, which was what he signed up for in his deal with Lars for his tenure at LaVida Nolis.

He got a fat bonus of US$ 950K, which was what he signed up for in his deal with Lars for his tenure at LaVida Nolis.
Upon getting to his apartment, which was by then at a secret location due to paparazzi following him, phoned his boss Mr Forrett to thank him, and after that to his father to break the news that he's going to send them US$ 150K. They couldn't believe it and his father for the first time asked from him the contact numbers of Lars Forrett, and sadly only allowed to give out his PA's numbers and email address, of which his father chose the email as it'll be personal. The very instant he hung up, constructed an email and sent it to him for his disappointment in self for having failed to support his own son and today ashamed to be collecting a large sum of money he just got promised by his son. He thanked him over and over. And lastly, asked they keep the convo between themselves.
The next morning Olaf asked him what he'd got to say to his father when he calls him, and he said: "Oh!! about that? Got an email from him suggesting a goat urine, and name it in a Scandinavian accenture." They laughed about it and bang, the next month G.O.A.T edition was borne out of that joke. They had Orina (urine) Stoners (cannabis) blend, and damn, it sold. Lars tipped Olaf's father about the joke and a surprise that's to follow. They developed a friendship that was stronger than that of any of his friends.
Luz Flores, the widow to the founder, Isai Yared Flores, was converted into an addict after tasting it. Her CEO was unbelievably growing value of their brand in a big way. On his birthday, Luz herself called into a hotel to book him and his wife a presidential suite for the weekend, and into his account US$ 52 million to celebrate his years. He never slept that night. And the next day, each of the 8 experts under Olaf was showered with US$ 1 million each and other staffers a staggering US$ 500K each and entrants half as a token of appreciation. Luz was celebrating her status as a multi-billionaire over a stretch of 6 and a half years, and the company from US$ 6billion cap to US$ 2,871 trillion. The duo did wonders for them. On the 1st of January the following year, Olaf couldn't believe it, a key to a palatial mansion and a bank notification of US$ 9 million. This time he sent a cool heart stopping US$ 1 million home.
The hype around Olaf was a thing of the past, and as such he was out all the time having a good time. He met a beautiful belle who made him feel he's reached the end of the world, with her. After introducing her to Lars, it was discovered she's a given up model. They worked on upgrading her while Lars told Olaf to not continue with her as his lover. He without doubt did so and soon she was taken to the team to be suggested as the face of LaVida Nolis, and she was approved even by the Chairwoman herself. The campaign started and Olaf got swept off his feet by the copy writer and Lars gave him thumbs up. On his birthday, as a gift, the model sent him a gift of a golden frame with a line separation of text in it. It was a list of positions she wanted for him to try out with her and on the other side was a list of pornsites to check out those positions.
Olaf ran to Lars with it and he said to him that that's what he was saving him from, he saw familiarity in her face but wasn't sure where he knew her from and but got the answer. She used to escort tycoons and entertain them, that's how he knew her, as a bed friend. He had a steamy encounter with her during his hey days in the footwear industry. She wasn't the right material for him it proved. As a face of the brand she excelled as she helped in sealing some of the deals. She didn't regret her move to being the face of LaVida Nolis.
Olaf started focusing much of his time with the girlfriend turned fiancee that it got in the way of business as he forgot what he was there for. The creativity spark went a bit down because of that. The fiancee was filling his head with conspiracies that ended up with him demanding US$ 2 million per annum for his genius. Lars thought he's joking but month end demanded his fair share of worth and he gave him US$ 165K. The next morning he received a call from the travel agent asking him as to when will he be flying out to Ghent in Belgium. He was dumbstruck and not sure what to say back and said he'd call back to do a proper arrangement. He called Lars but he didn't pick up.
Stressed out he rushed to his place and to still be not opened for. He went to work to seek an appointment with the Chairwoman but was told he's got no outright right to do so. His office was now in the name of his protege, Marco. He was full of regret and shame. With tears streaming down his face a call from his mother came in asking how far he was as his PA informed them that he's coming back. He told her he's not coming on that day or tomorrow, and that he's still working on something big first before visiting them. Walking out he met Lars who asked him if he's sorted out, in passing. Trying to stop him, got told he's on his way to announce the new head of his old unit. He was left numb.
He had no choice but to head back to his place. Upon getting there he asked for his fiancee to leave as she destroyed his legacy. Still in that verse a notification dropped in, his sale of shares amounting to US$ 161 million. He froze and sat for twenty minutes without a word to her. He was rich but won't make it himself again to that level. At 35 with that huge number to his name was mind boggling, more so being the fact that he could've made more had he not pulled a stunt he pulled. The next thing he did was call the agency for arrangements home.
Getting there he received a king's befit of a welcome. Days later asked his father what Lars said to him and said he told him he was taking a break before opening his own business. He wasn't sure if it's true or his father nudged him to business now that he was jobless. Just after their convo he heard his father's laughter and went to eavesdrop. He was on call with Lars telling him he's okay and his son not yet bought the company he so keenly was interested in buying. He was sad it's not a prank as he hoped it to be, and started thinking otherwise.
He after the call boldly sat his father down and narrated to him everything, and to his surprise wasn't shocked as he told him about his resignation. Said he was not in his rightful state of mind to do so but nothing he could've done or said to reason with his talented son. He finished the last part and still his father said to him that he should've known his place and that Lars wasn't wrong in releasing him for he turned himself into an unruly bastard.
Lastly, wished his son good luck without his master keyholder on his new journey. Said: "You weren't supposed to be here today but because you don't have sorry in your new vocab, and you thought you understood him better, but you failed to know him, that's why he was easy to forget about you. Son, talent alone is nothing without one's humbleness. You were only 19 months from being an additional member to the company's board but you messed it up. In your future endeavors, bear that in mind; offer comes after opportunity, and you should respect your opportunity bringer more than the opportunity itself. It doesn't take only one opportunity to put you up there, but one specific believer in you who'll be prepared to go with you step by step to your glory, unfortunately you missed your refinery in Lars, I blame myself". He pat his son's shoulder and left him with crystals dancing in his corneas. He got what his father said but not fully understood what he meant. Sadly, he knew by then his father was disappointed but not angry.
He quickly sent a message of an apologetic tone to Lars and was relieved getting his response same time and that he was missing him, just but he can't bring himself down more than he had to serve under a big extraordinaire sole like him. Olaf was pained by the now painted picture of their relationship. Lars couldn't contain himself and called him to say he's eternally grateful for a thankful tenure of magic with him. Said he was humbled by his apology and his picking up of his call to accommodate him in his busy schedule as his ex PA put it to him, whence it took long to get back to him. He wished him well and asked to hang up to avoid losing him money via a useless call from a useless nobody. His ending teared deep at him.
Olaf returned the call to tell him how his little life was and but nothing else Lars could do or be for him as he did it self soberly. He hung up and cried for he's the envy of peers but not fulfilled, he's stuck. Truth was he knew nothing about running a business. Indeed the world of business is a cruel jungle; cut a tree down from its trunk's internal node and there's no way it'll grow back because of the poison on the saw blade. And so, he realized he was that kid who made noise inside the church and got quickly taken out. Under Lars and Marco, LaVida Nolis continued to thrive at a slower pace but remained the leading chocolatier of note. He ventured into freelancing but his hopes of working on LaVida campaigns were dashed as they never secured his services. Indeed, "cruelty a reward for inviting it". The hard knock lesson he got...
Q_was Lars harsh in dealing with Olaf? Was the father really clueless about the whole truth? What should Olaf do next? What does the expression about business jungle mean?
Scenario 110
It all begins when he answers a call en-route Erina's school and telling the person on the line with that today he's going to have a very different day from all his days. When they got to her school, after she climbed off he rolled his window and said: "daddy won't stop looking after you with love, my precious Angel,,,enjoy your day and wish me well" and she said good luck and good bye to him.
Idmir Pfautz is a motivational speaker who's starting out in that field. A seasoned psychologist by profession, retired from 9-5 to be on his own at Social Solutions, an industrial psychology and motivational speaking agency. Today he's heading to Provia Juvenile Detention Center in Galway to do a motivational talk there as a favour to a veteran clinical psychologist, Mr Ciann Walsh, who runs a youth restoration program called 'I Correct Me'. The initiative is sponsored by the Irish government via The Department of Justice & Equality, in collaboration with the Department of Education. This wasn't Idmir's daily dose but took it up to challenge himself.
Getting there he quickly realized it's a different day indeed to pen in his diary. He took a tour of the center to get a feel of it and after some minutes he was settled though his friend warned him not to. They're young but not fragile. At most, danger comes from the newcomers as they're still raw and fresh from outside. They started out with breakfast and shortly after was the day's work commenced.
Their juveniles sat in assembly and had a different day of learning once Idmir took the platform. It left some quiet while others in tears. In his talk he focused on hope. He said: "One fact; remember your status,,,you're nothing special but just a statistic to our national register of young offenders. Do know again that you're a young criminal. You're in here because you chose wrong and its consequence in full know of right and its benefit, with the main ingredient in your vanity of regret being opportunistic freedom. Realistic hope in you is scarred by choosing between doing whatever it takes over doing anything it takes. The secret in here is to be frank to self about your will to be that channel of your dream and ride in your lane. In here you're reminded that you are alone in a mix of discarded scum you chose to be as and be living among. Nelson Mandela's long walk to freedom was a thorny and murky path. If you want out to be the best 'YOU' not your accomplice or family want you to be, start your long walk now." At that point faces buried in shame, ears receiving the revolution untell'aliesed (untold in lies).
He carried further: "Your greatest danger is you failing to question your God given talent and purpose. Doubt and hate in self comes from that. Being here says you're loved, favoured, supported and given a chance to correct yourself. Be kind to your failed past and take your yesterday out of it to your successful start today for your tomorrow going forth. Want for yourself to be given hugs not bad looks, reward your purpose for its dreams of you all the time. Truth be told, we're all criminals, just that we're of different classes. We all commit wrongs that we are at times not caught out for or be that social standing bails us out, but yes, I'm just better because my wrongs didn't put my name on the register as yet. This, don't remember, but know.
I came here as an excuse for there's no reason for me to be found here, this should tell you that you're not important enough when in here 'cause it ain't serving anyone any good if you go out and be back again. Ask yourself this; are you worth an excuse or a reason. Let people find reason to be with YOU. Today we're standing on two nevers, forget the 'never say never' rhetoric now. The first never is for you telling yourself that never shall it be that you'll walk back in here as an offender but rather as an appreciative rehabilitatee to pay homage in various ways up to you, and the second is mine that never shall it be that I'll meet any of you in here again except under uncontrollable circumstances. Let's meet outside doing our bit to strengthen our social fabric in restoration of our moral fiber. Tell yourself that you're here to experience hope and pick abundant wisdom to another side of life. And with this, say this in repeat: 'I don't belong in here! My only hope is correcting my wrongs. My hope is in me and starting now I entrust only myself with it, I hold and count on myself. And, forever it shall be." He stood for a second looking at them, and said he thank them for being a better excuse, and that they grew him.

And, forever it shall be." He stood for a second looking at them, and said he thank them for being a better excuse, and that they grew him.
When he got back to his seat, Ciann held his hand and thanked him for having gotten through them. Reason for that was that none had come in and got their attention same as he got audience in them. They're used to being treated special but he told them they aren't. He commanded their dominance by telling them what they aren't used to being told. He spent half his day there and by 14:11 said his goodbyes, and as he turned he heard a question: "what took you so long to come for us. Where were you all along?" and he turned back to see whom it's from. He answered by saying he had no excuse by then until only today. The trouble was none showed it was them asking. He walked away.
Driving out the gate at 14:16 the guard passed him running back to the main building. He got curious and when he looked into his mirror realized there's a fight that broke between juveniles. He stopped, got out and ran back to help break the scuffle but it was serious. In the middle of him trying to pull them apart, he got a big hug from someone from the back. Trying to grab the young person to pull them to the front, felt the hug tightening and suddenly everyone diverged but the one hugging him didn't. Thirty seconds later the hug was weak and the person fell to screams.
What he was seeing shattered him. The young one pulled an Irish goodbye on him and he was saved in the process. He knelt and said to her: "though not have your name, thank you and goodbye long lost beloved daughter. I now found the reason why I'm here, thanks to you." With tears flowing, Ciann pat his back and said to him that he told him he had an impact on them. He rose and said he shouldn't have came, or he shouldn't have said the things he said because clearly it enraged others to an extent of wanting him dead.
Hailey Pilkington, her name, he was told. It changed his day. Helpless and shocked he sat quiet looking at the juveniles and the lifeless blood soaked Hailey. The EMS certified her dead and police took a statement and at 15:48 he received a call from his daughter asking where he is and whether he's on his way to pick her up, and told her to take a bus. At 17:52 he was getting into his car and driving home. Getting home he hugged his daughter for a long time and went upstairs to go lie before telling them what transpired but it wasn't to be, he didn't wake up until the next morning to tell them. His wife cried and all of them took a day off. Idmir received calls from the center and numerous others from those close to his family.
The media covered the story and expert analysts teared Ciann for allowing a corporate shrink to address juveniles and for Idmir to accept a gig beyond his expertise was irresponsible. Interviewed, one social worker present during his talk praised Idmir saying he managed a breakthrough they struggled with for long, and that last night the juveniles' behaviour was different from the usual. The wrongs they're blabbing wouldn't help the situation in that for the first time ever, the juveniles voiced and gave the name of the perpetrator instead of protecting one another like they always did. Said he hopes it doesn't stop Mr Pfauzt from accepting an invite from them or other institutions of their type in future because of ill sayers who are clueless.
Three days later, the Minister of Justice & Equality paid the center a surprise visit and was indeed awash by the orderly manner things were there. The same day they called Idmir for an appointment with him. The following day the Minister got a proposal for him to run all the juvenile centers in the country but he declined though agreeing to his agency being a partner to the institutions. He was a hero overnight and his agency grew to levels unimaginable. The first addition he made to all centers was establishing Hailey Pilkington activity rooms. Since Social Solutions got involved, Ireland experienced low repeat offender numbers. The adopted 'I Correct Me' program made a significant difference in their lives and social workers' lives were now safer than before as they were now less attacked.
Ciann changed Idmir's fortunes and their friendship grew stronger. Hailey was celebrated annually and a member of her family would come to say a word and partake in activities that Hailey loved engaging in. The foundation was also set up in her name. Her family remains grateful to date to Idmir while him is eternally indebtefor her bravery. He felt that he came too late for her and she came in time for him.
Q_to you, what really changed the behaviour of the juveniles? Whom do you blame for Hailey's untimely death? Can you safely say it was Hailey's voice that asked why he came too late for them?
Scenario 109
"Hi, may I borrow your pen?". Without hesitation he did and he thanked him. He was slow in filling the form out, so he answered a call and got out of the building because he was rushing off to somewhere connected to that call. After the call he remembered about the pen. He wasn't yet finished and when telling him he's going to need a pen where he'll be, he politely asked him to wait a bit and he'll take him wherever he wanted to go.
He didn't take long and he finished, gave it to some woman and asked to take the guy somewhere as promised. The lady wanted to hand him some weird thing with a car logo on it and but told her to drive back herself as he had arranged for alternative transport. His right hand man was already parking when they got out. Just in, he asked where he's off to, and he said Potsdam. With a sad tone said he's sorry for he won't be able to take him there himself, and asked if he's got a driving license in possession and he said yes. He asked if he's okay with driving self there with that car, and he laughed and asked if he's that trusting.
He said that they don't know each other but already giving him his valuable possession. He said you trusted me with you possession as well, and he again laughed and said it's only a pen. He said a pen you need where you're going, so it shows its important to you as it did for me back in there. He asked for his name and he was gobsmacked and intrigued by that question, he wasn't used to being asked for his name. He gave him his business card and asked he write his name and number at the back, and give it back. He did so without having seen his name inverse. "Oh, Uwe,,,thanks and nice to knowing you. And Uwe said it's a pleasure for him too. He said he'll give him a call tomorrow morning to arrange for it back. They got out and he took the driving wheel and off he was.
The following morning Uwe readied himself for the call but nothing came through until midday. He was asked if he's free and he said not at the moment but later will be. He was told to drive to Mitte District, Berlin, where they are whenever he's free. Uwe stored the number by the car name. When free he drove to the place and when he called was asked to come back later as they're still in a meeting.
Later he drove back and but this time not alone, he was with a friend as it was late, so he came with him so they go back together. He got to meet with the guy who came driving the car, which made him believe he's the owner. He told him to drive behind him as he can't drive both cars alone. Getting to the destination he was charmed by the area as he never got to be in Charlottenburg or in that side of town as he knows none there. Uwe and his friend, Boris, got out and said it's getting late and they have to get going. Andreas, the right hand man asked if they knew where they were going to catch their ride home and they laughed and said no, but were going to ask people they met. Andreas asked for them to come in. To Uwe's surprise, the pen guy got out of the front passenger side and greeted them as they went in.
They were treated to a dinner feast and as they were to go home, told them he's De Chiel Von der Leyen, and said that he realized Boris knows him and he nodded. He offered to drive them self back home. Boris was clumsy and acting strange, and Uwe knew from the onset that something is up. The conversation flow wasn't an award winner to say the least, but okay. Uwe was caged as he's never been in the presence of an affluent somebody and but Boris was an opposite gig. He dropped Boris first and Uwe after. He told him if he ever felt like a new pen, can write him to that number on the card, and he laughed and got off.
Exactly a month later, he got a call from Uwe and asked to get back to him. Some few seconds later Uwe received a text message saying: "Disappointed. I expected you'll write but it's fine. Come to my office if you are free". Uwe said it's fine. In 40ish odd minutes he was told there's someone by the name of Uwe asking to see him, and asked for him to wait for him downstairs. He said he can come in. He was happy but contained his excitement to see him again. Uwe told him he's impressed and proud of him. He was in the presence of a multimillionaire.

To Uwe's surprise, the pen guy got out of the front passenger side and greeted them as they went in.
They were treated to a dinner feast and as they were to go home, told them he's De Chiel Von der Leyen, and said that he realized Boris knows him and he nodded. He offered to drive them self back home. Boris was clumsy and acting strange, and Uwe knew from the onset that something is up. The conversation flow wasn't an award winner to say the least, but okay. Uwe was caged as he's never been in the presence of an affluent somebody and but Boris was an opposite gig. He dropped Boris first and Uwe after. He told him if he ever felt like a new pen, can write him to that number on the card, and he laughed and got off.

He said he can come in. He was happy but contained his excitement to see him again. Uwe told him he's impressed and proud of him. He was in the presence of a multimillionaire.
They took a tour of his office and Uwe loved his office. It had an en-suit chamber with a closet, kitchen, toilet with shower, study room, media room and boardroom. It was plush. They went out and everyone showed him respect and Andre came from outside to come greet him and only him call him with his first name, De Chiel. Uwe wasn't at ease and to his surprise he drove to the back of their building and up the elevator back into his office through the back. They had a long chat and he had already picked up positive vibes between themselves.
They enjoyed each's company and spent some time also on the deck balcony. The two got out very late. His PA, Nadine Geis, is a decoy as there's a rumour that they're romantically involved and but no. Their relationship glowed and one day Boris found out through a text while using Uwe's phone and not long it was a rumour that splashed online. De Chiel wasn't the one to be allover the internet for matters of the heart but not this time.
It was hard at first for Uwe as his family was new to everything, the news of Uwe's homosexuality, media saying bad about Uwe's forced seduction on De Chiel, and Uwe's family plan to get rich quick through him loving a millionaire. How the public was unto them put pressure on their relationship. In passion collision he was still raw and he was gentle with him. One day Uwe's parents arranged for a photo of themselves with a belle and said it's Uwe's girlfriend. The mother was frustrated because she promised a friend's family that their daughter will marry Uwe when they come of age. They hated De Chiel for having ruined everything.
As Uwe was unemployed and Boris was working in some casino, De Chiel created a ghost post for Uwe to receive a salary to sustain himself. He was earning an equivalent of a designer as he designated that for him, as part of Pan-Euro Concepts design team. De Chiel's designer furniture manufacturing company started to dwindle in sales. As a result the Pan-Euro board wasn't happy about the drama their CEO is involved in. They wanted him out but failed.
Two weeks after that Boris met with Andre and they went to De Chiel's place. He got his wish granted asked for a moment of intimacy with him and they did. Due to Boris being discreetly experienced, De Chiel started organizing with him from time to time to give him his pink slash. It went on for 8 months without Uwe's suspicion. One day Uwe went to De Chiel's place without any call to surprise his man. By sheer luck, Andre was in and notified De Chiel who quickly made Boris go into Andre's chamber.
As De Chiel was busy entertaining Uwe, Andre was showered with shock as Boris wanted his anafeltaz. Out of fearing his main man, got out of his room and whistled to signal to De Chiel that he's downstairs. Boris followed him and forced himself on him until he aubergined their synergies. After Uwe left, Andreas drove Boris home. Later he told De Chiel at home and he decided right there to cut him off, and so did Andreas. Andreas sent him a verschwinden tilgen, and he erased self. Boris was officially their history.
The following morning there was a surprise board meeting and De Chiel was asked about the rumour mill spreading nonsensical romantic relations with some schlecht gay floozy? He said yes and he's not a penurious floozy, his name is Uwe Schulz. He told them how he's ready to take it out publicly. From then he started be seen in public more than before with him but not being showy as they're both naturally shy and reserved. For a good four and a half months sales were low and dramatically just bounced back stronger.
Their relationship was somewhat dubious in that they never stayed together, rarely held each other's hands in public, never changed the lifestyle of Uwe but just a minor shift, it was not adding up, even those close to Uwe were sceptical. Uwe and De Chiel discreetly bought some shares in a company owned by his nemesis and cut his allowance from the ghost post and went to work in it as a manager. For him to ace the ropes, De Chiel prepped him for two months and continued doing so.
Uwe later bought his family a better house in Pankow. Three months later bought a beautiful sedan for his family use before a year later when he bought himself a big 6-in-line sedan. Again, they were never spotted riding together. They always met where they agreed to meet. Their relationship was a symbol of clean public respect. De Chiel organically transformed Uwe into a shadow of better self. Boris started going after moneyed men who some used him as their after 9 toy or stress reliever pill. He never got what his friend had in De Chiel.
As time goes, he continued building an empire around Uwe and one thing good about him was that he never disappointed, even Andreas' stamp of approval made it to De Chiel's plan. On the other hand, for his friendship with Andreas, he transferred him 10% of his 57% stake in Pan-Euro Concepts. Their relationship remained stable until Andreas met his untimely demise in a car accident. His daughter inherited everything, since her parents never worked out.
Q_why are rich people always seeing the worst in those financially disadvantaged? Was it fair for the board to want to oust De Chiel because of his sexuality? Did creating a ghost post a good governance move or a bad act of desperation?
Scenario 108
Onnogannon is a venture capitalist firm in Oporto City, Portugal. It's CEO and founder is none other than K R, a secretive billionaire investor living in a bunker just below his headquarters' Onnaggo Towers in the outskirts of the city. None knows where he actually resides except his confidant.
His livetorium as he calls it, is a huge bunker right under his firm's main office. What's sad is that everyone who partake in the construction of the bunker died soon after it was completed, while some died along the process of its build. K R is to this day not giving away his full names and surname, which makes him a ghost in some instances. He is not married and is not known whom he's dating.
K R is a feared figure in the Portuguese fin circles for his aggression on his targets and his ability to turn nothings into somethings, like a two branch cheese making biz he acquired for next to nothing and in a term of 30 months had it morphed into a 15 branch operation turning over €9 million annually from a measly €85K it stuck on for 3 years. He opened its own stores and added other dairy products through alliances with farmers nationwide. Today D'ongul is the third recognized dairy brand in the market.
K R has just spotted a new target and he's arranged a meeting with its management board before seating with the control board to have majority of its stock. He realized that cars are a mess to the environment and are a headache for both its owners and shareholders as a result of greedy politicians who set unrealistic emissions targets and unreasonable timelines for them to get in return kickbacks for extensions and test cheating.
With every next rich person showing off their pockets with owning or leasing a yatch or pvt jet, Onnogannon is eyeing a takeover bid for a helicopter manufacturing company, Pingisil Aeronautics. Its board of directors got shivers down their operational spines the day he requested for an appointment with them. The issue was job security and whether he'll allow some to invest in the company aftermath. His arrival settles none.
He went in with the mind of taking it global and as such had a Diplomatic Relations Officer (DRO) included in his consultory. His team is limited to only a corporate lawyer, political analyst, financial accountant, mediacrat, systems analyst, and himself the scalability specialist. One thing funny though, none knows what he holds academically due to his vast knowledge of topics. Knowing Pingisil's structure, they wasted no time and requested they organize a bigger audience in the style of a joint meeting. They asked to meet with both the management board and the shareholders as one the following day.
The following day in the afternoon the boardroom was packed to capacity. To some it was the first time they met him in person. K R has a way with mind games, he plays them all the time to both his opponents and team. None in there was relaxed except him. He asked they be free so his team be free and feel welcome instead of the thickness of tension weighed on them. It made the hosts think that they are terrified of them and started failing their guard against them. But then, his team was also not certain of his next move but next thing he said and did wasn't expected from him as it was unusual of him to.
He started by throwing the boardroom off its rails by requesting the meeting be opened by prayer, and the attendees went silent struck. He knew that, and quickly set his eyes on their COO 'til he emboldened and directed all to close their eyes and led in prayer. The boards' uncertainty grew quicker than they anticipated. For K R, it was exactly as he planned. After statutory formalities he congratulated the shareholders for their backing of Pingisil and introduced his team before they took the reins again.
Onnogannon is a venture capitalist firm in Oporto City, Portugal. It's CEO and founder is none other than K R, a secretive billionaire investor living in a bunker just below his headquarters' Onnaggo Towers in the outskirts of the city. None knows where he actually resides except his confidant.
His livetorium as he calls it, is a huge bunker right under his firm's main office. What's sad is that everyone who partake in the construction of the bunker died soon after it was completed, while some died along the process of its build. K R is to this day not giving away his full names and surname, which makes him a ghost in some instances. He is not married and is not known whom he's dating.
K R is a feared figure in the Portuguese fin circles for his aggression on his targets and his ability to turn nothings into somethings, like a two branch cheese making biz he acquired for next to nothing and in a term of 30 months had it morphed into a 15 branch operation turning over €9 million annually from a measly €85K it stuck on for 3 years. He opened its own stores and added other dairy products through alliances with farmers nationwide. Today D'ongul is the third recognized dairy brand in the market.
K R has just spotted a new target and he's arranged a meeting with its management board before seating with the control board to have majority of its stock.

He started by throwing the boardroom off its rails by requesting the meeting be opened by prayer, and the attendees went silent struck. He knew that, and quickly set his eyes on their COO 'til he emboldened and directed all to close their eyes and led in prayer. The boards' uncertainty grew quicker than they anticipated. For K R, it was exactly as he planned. After statutory formalities he congratulated the shareholders for their backing of Pingisil and introduced his team before they took the reins again.
After the main issue of their agenda was opened for discussion, he asked them to tell him what they think won't be a possibility of the aerospace industry in the coming 60 months. Seeing them still digesting that, he asked them why they failed their investment through stale decisions made by both tiers of the boards. Still perplexed by his utterances, said his team can each point out one loophole in their respective operational model and but said before they give them answers to first determine if they self suit the company's future or not. The CFO rose on a point of correction that none has agreed to any offer, also that there's no tabled offer as yet. Turning to his board directors became unsure himself of his statement as they were motionless.
K R answered in reaffirmation of his statement by referring to the name as Pingsil Aeronavals instead of Pingisil Aeronautics, and it woke something in the boardroom. They all lifted their faces and started looking at each other, some with nods. He further said, "if you want to be filthy rich, give us that swing and we'll make it rain q/q. The CEO asked what they were thinking and K R said they're not flying out there without their board giving them protective gear first. The CEO then turned to his team and pressed them for answers in front of them. Reading their presence a discomfort to them, asked they be recused for 15 minutes so they realign themselves with their position for a united front stance. He furthermore reiterated that they gathered there fully knowing what it is that they came to them for and they went out.
The checkmate gave the boards a bone to fight over and time bought for them to each come up with short-term and medium-term teasers for the now future and near future. Knowing that the time they gave them was too short, he sent the DRO to ask if they could be back in and they asked for 30 minutes or so more. He laughed when he got back, and told them that they aren't in control and the lawyer should field that to them. An hour later they sent someone to call them in.
Back in, K R kept quiet and so did his team. Their act intensified uncertainty in the boardroom as the CEO was now looking at the shareholders for dignity retention but wasn't to be. One shareholder asked how much they were willing to put in as they sure know the valuation of their business. Onnogannon accountant said that €60 million should be what's put into shareholders pockets not be a turnover, and stopped. That alone caused murmurs and he knew they have stirred a divisive cyclone.
The other shareholder asked what the hint of their name change actually meant, and now answers were coming from his team. The systems analyst said that it meant that the new range of their products will be a combo of air and water to net new markets and expand growth potential. This made scalability and capacity dominate their minds momentarily. The same shareholder asked further what growth should mean to them in Onnogannon's vocab. The DRO mentioned conversion of transport mode for diplomats and the high net worth indivos, innovative designs that appeals to the haves and aspirant to the have nots. The mediacrat intervened by raising a point of price point of a helicopter compared to a limo, looking at the value hold presented by the helicopter over that of a car. Damage probability comparison of both also unequaled.
The systems analyst came back in to close by saying that the safety of an aeronaval far outstrips the current range produced in the market, and Pingsil Aeronavals will be the first and only in the mid term, which guarantees a mainstay in the lead. K R also concluded the show off by mentioning that they should think of flexible seating configurations and the potential revenue from personalised niche the new range promise. Accessorizing the units comes highly recommended and more to rake from. The boardroom went shut.
A major shareholder asked two questions; safety point and production readiness. K R said their helicopters will have shock absorbers and glide blades for moving in water. Also the safety comes in that they'll install airbags and provide fireproof suits as optional extras for any safetyfailure in a crush eventuality. He lied about the readiness of their plan that they've set up a team that is finessing the last aspects of design for production to avoid many unnecessary delays. For that, he knows they'll keep playing it by reporting test fails until the prototype is fully production ready. Also, there's no Design & Production team in place.
He went back to the issue of price point to emphasize the need to engage insurers for attractive covers for their products given their safety proposition. It was a super proposal they just couldn't let pass. When CFO asked who else was in the know of their bid, the lawyer reminded him about some confidentiality piece of paper called an NDA and that presently none other than him and the rest in there except for some journalist who was in the last 3 minutes probing what they are doing as she was tipped they were seen at Pingisil corridors, which he guess was when they were recused, and if not a problem to him can answer her. He was jumped on by shareholders cutting him short of such thoughts, they wanted it it was obvious.
The CFO said once more that they should assure them that they are the only ones to be discussing that with them. By that point, a reprimand from their legal advisor was registered in note that it's of no importance to stress that as the offerer has the right to try their luck anywhere they so wish, and also that it's been cleared already, meaning they were to decide on the offer and nothing more. The legal advisor asked what they are offering. Before they aired their figure, he refuted the €60 million mentioned earlier on as that not a reflection of their value in count of a numerous assets he read out itemized with day book value and future going value thereof i.t.o future yield margins vs depreciation of each, putting the valuation figure at €345 million. K R's team clapped for him and left him not sure if he did good or bad.
The accountant whispered to K R and he smiled in nod. For a full 90 secs they kept quiet with all eyes fixated on K R, and out of the woods emerged the accountant with a staggering figure they whistled for of €690 million and said it's non-negotiable. The legal advisor was together with the CFO taken aback. And for the second time the mediacrat proposed for the second recusal. The board allowed it.
As they were ushered out the lawyer said he needed to make that call to the journalist. Just when they sat down, they were called in and he was asked not to touch his phone. K R knew it's done, and they went back in. When about to go in the mediacrat said they shouldn't have called them back in so quickly so they could have had time to call the accountant to order for such an astronomical number. The messenger was sure they were not in the same boat any longer, especially after the systems analyst incurred.
The messenger quickly whispered to his bosses about his staged intelligence. The CEO looked pleased and so was the rest of the shareholders. Without hesitation with formalities the CEO expressed their acceptance with any conditions. Realizing the soft spot K R shook on the deal before the legal advisor could say anything, and making him hang himself said: "you accept with any conditions, thus same as all conditions" and he just nodded. He realized he made a mistake.
The legal advisor rose to ask what they have on their menu of conditions. The only five were that they will take over 65% of Pingisil and change it to Pingsil Aeronavals, two was that they will have equal access to current and past copyright and any other intellectual property rights owned in place, that the holding ratio shall apply likewise over future copyright and all intellectual property rights to be held and owned going forth, and three was that they'll install their own operations board that'll work in par with the management board as peers. Four, the company shall be run via three board tiers, the con-board (control board), the ops-board (operational board), and the ad-board (advisory board), and there'll further be an ECC (ethics and conduct committee). Lastly, the share classes would be split in three, Class A, B & C. Class A would be for company owners, B for equity holders, and C for capital raising. That meant Class C will only be 10% as its holders to be counter investors who'll be like retail investors but will differ with them in that they'll be on lock-in agreement term. Thus translated to the fact that Onnogannon will be in control of 55% at all material times during the course of their marriage, with 10% floating for in and out direct investment. That way there'll be no need to ever borrow from banks again.
The Onnogannon lawyer asked if there's any other secret apart from the €21 million liability in the books of Zenn de Industriae Bank, and the €488,7K owed in corporate levies. The legal advisor rose and put it on record that he had personally saw the resolve to that matter, and confirmed the trueness and accuracy of the bank loan without mentioning further details pertaining to it, and rested the raised concerns as the only ones known to him and the entire board.
They shook again but this time with a less firm handshake. In his speech, K R said that the deal will cause a market intifada. The lawyer by then pretended to be in a call with the journalist, mentioning the conditions agreed upon to bind the Pingsil board. Just after that, they set the date of deal endorsement and left. The reason was they were in a hurry to publicize the deal and to also celebrate. The following morning as the news broke through an interview with the mediacrat, he told of how the skyways are ready and free of congestion witnessed on our roads, also that there's an opportunity for rental, aero dealership chains and pilot jobs. To add sugar to the cup, it was unbelievable to the old team of Pingsil that they were now worth €2,095 billion just by denoting 'i' in the new name, having new owners and all copyright held, before the new range of products hit the market. The reporter mentioned how refreshed the name is and how it's easy to roll off the tongue.
The former CEO called K R but his phone was off, and tried the second number only to find that it's for his right hand man and surprised to hear he doesn't own a cellphone. He asked for him and they were on for a minute and thanked him for changing their lives. He said they were receiving calls for orders from celebrities, biz moguls, politicians and courier companies already. K R said to him that he's going to register the first billion to his name in four years and asked to hang up. The old CEO was worth €92million at that time of the call, and just now €140K more.
Q_is K R a scary somebody? Does K R's team have a weak link, and who's that? If were a shareholder of Pingisil, would you have agreed to the offer unanimously?
The same night a man with a gun visited the given address. Not knowing Q was on a bait, the man knocked and heard no answer from inside. He then broke the window next to the door and forced in. It was once he was in that he got a nasty surprise. The man was ushered into the arms of the law officers and same time confessed to being an illegal immigrant who's been hired by madam to take care of her problem. Immediately he was taken to the police station to make a statement and be formally arrested and charged. They made him call Q to tell her the job was done and when will the balance be paid, of which she unknowingly confessed in a recorded call that tomorrow morning she will effect it.
Twelve minutes later she was answering a door knock to her arrest. She tried calling her lawyer but said to her not to cause any drama and go with them as he will follow soon. Once there, there was nothing he could've done for her except help her with a statement. She was detained. The time news broke of her arrest and detention, headliner was new info that surfaced about records of social media chats in Francis' phone revealing deception via leaks anonymously. It was brought to light that Q was cheating on her late husband with the late husband's late cousin, Francis, who was the owner of a well known security company.
Also, adding to the damage was a text from Q to Francis telling him to write an SMS in his cousin's phone asking for forgiveness for laying a hand on her so she could siphon something out of him as he had a problem of forgetfulness. It emerged that she used to do such with her friends on him. Fake accusations were always levelled against him but because of love for her never said anything to anyone with the hope that she'll change albeit for the worst.
Her case, was high profile and she was convicted. She got into the hole for life. With none left to continue, Pierre's family took over the business of design and but failed at rescuing it as in five months they gave in to their failure. The business was bought by a foreign national for its fraction and rebranded it 'Guy n Design'. Q's mother thought her matured dermal layers of booty will appeal to the parole board. Dhiar seduced those men and had them have their way around her seasoned curvedonias, but didn't come back with anything out until she accepted her daughter lost. Because of pressure inside, Q was allegedly reported as having had committed suicide.
Guy n Design failed to grow as per projected forecasts, and on the fourth year was sold to an affluent family and struggled to scale up but held on to its position. If only Pierre were still alive, the growth plan could've been drawn. The business is to date as just one of the many design outlets to go to at Eden Plaza in Seychelles.
Q_can wearing two ties at once be a cool fashion statement? Who took the phone at the crime scene? Before Guys n Design, which name would you've given it to that business?
Freynada de X is a fierce film industry player. Known as de X, she is executive producer of Xd Pixels. de X is married to Dublin's popular pharmacist, Carl Oisin Gallant. de X had her problem caretakers who were ever ready to do whatever she said must be done to whoever she said should be dealt with. Their first born was her favourite, Clodagh.
Xd Pixels did movies, music videos, tv programs, vid ads, brandcasting, and still clips, and bulk of their revenue was from music videos and bulk of their work was on tv programs. Xd Pixels pushes agenda that isn't part of the programme of the Eire Media and Information Guild (EMIG), which controls the gender empowerment, racial quota, content advision, code preservation, mastering and enforcement, and industry gatekeeping. She's the only female decision maker on the guild board while the only second woman being the board secretary, Adina Reris.
de X has two nemesis elements who're to her not deserving their seats in the guild and fighting tooth and nail to see her off but just not having her served in their dish for a chew and spit. The two are Regan Walsh and Jaylen Fitzpatrick. The two hate that she's been dominating the charts for six years running and with no sign of punching out. One of Xd Pixels managers was struggling to secure a clearance for an actor who's contract was expired, went to de X to express his stress about that situation. It was Jaylen's agency that was causing headaches for her staffer.
She went with the actor to Jaylen's agency, ManyCan Casting, for a negotiated path to a resolution and he didn't barge. She gave Jaylen the contract release papers and he said he won't sign, de X and the actor left his office. She dropped him off at Xd and drove off slowly showing that she's thinking, and she was. She called her main caretaker to organize himself and a backup caretaker as she's on her way to collect them. She did and they made a U-turn back to ManyCan.
Getting there she barged into Jaylen's office and found that he was on the other side of the building, in their boardroom. They were directed to the boardroom and it was obvious it's going to get ugly in there looking at how the two guys were in her back. Through the glass wall Jaylen saw them and jammed as they opened and straight to him she went with her guards on the doors. She was holding an iron ball in her hand and the minute he wanted to question her coming in there she dropped the iron ball onto the glass table and smashed it. She told him she's there for a release he doesn't want to sign. He quickly demanded she give it to him and she said it's in his office where he chose to leave it.
The guests in the boardroom were still and quiet, and she ordered Jaylen to go out with her to hand to her the signed release clearance. Trying to calm her down she broke the display cabinet and he apologized, and followed her out. The second they entered his office he tried to fight her but she swiftly pulled out a gun. Jaylen froze and signed without further questions. She told him to never mess with her. After they left, the meeting was adjourned. He was still shaking with disbelief. Jaylen got to understand why others don't stand in her way.
The following morning he called the guild president to inform him of his decision to resign from EMIG, but was reminded about rule 31 (1)(d). As per that rule he must appear before the board and state his reasons for pulling out if not expelled by the board. He was told that the meeting will be at 3 p.m.
The board convened and Jaylen showed up as summoned. He was at pains when the President unpacked their timeline with him, his passion and invaluable inputs over the period, to now what went wrong? The cabal was cracking. Jaylen frustrated them as he was his unusual self on the day, and worse was when de X asked him when was it that he took the decision to resign. Before he could utter a word, he phone flashed and eyeing it was a text message from his ex actor who was thanking him for the release. He dropped a tear but then again what he witnessed yesterday a reason good enough to drive one out of the cabal. The guild had no choice but to let him go and explore other opportunities the world of business has to offer.
Later that day it got to Regan what had actually transpired to lead his friend to exit the cabal. He went to check on him in person to understand what the cause was. Regan was flabbergasted. Trouble was he knows the reaction from de X stems from him and his treatment of her from the day she came in. He cut his stay short so he go through his clientele to ascertain none is intending on crossing the floor to her side. As if she's in his thoughts, Regan received a call from the villain herself, and it was for the first time ever that he was shook by her voice over the phone. She wanted to come over but he quickly opted they meet at the guild's offices as it was about the guild's work. She sensed stutter in his tone and made her fall more in love with herself.
During the meeting she noticed the thick aura of fear and she danced to it softly as if she's unaware of it. After they finished he felt like iced tea poured on him when she asked if he's been to visit Jaylen and he briefly paused and said yes, in his mind popped up the thought that she saw him or knew about their encounter. She told him to thank him on her behalf for a wise decision made, and stood up before thanking Regan for his time. He was gushed in a threaded blush.
Months passed and elections for a new board fast approached, and Regan was in the race for a President chair until he was informed that she was gunning for it too. He hit the brakes and because she was preaching transformation and gender representation quota, won on the day. She was unstoppable. Regan exited the guild on the following day with the understanding that all of the big contracts will be taken by Xd Pixels. The very same day de X paid him a visit to understand the reason and to introduce Clodagh to guild members individually, and found him shaking uncontrollably with fright of her. She told him to come back so they can grow the industry together, encouraging him to go call Jaylen to come back. He nodded and she was out...
Q_how will Clodagh act around all the members of EMIG? Do you think de X is a bully even at home? Can you work with such a leader?
Just after signing he received a call from Alisha asking him what he's doing with Xavier. Surprised, he asked where she was at that particular point, thinking she was working there now since it's in her career line, and she said she's at work and assured him she doesn't work at XC but rather personally close to the founder of the company. Harris dropped her and called Xavier for an appointment with him. To his shock, he gave him his home address that was familiar to him and it then sunk in that he was signed to the man who is his daughter's stepfather. He was shaken but manned up and honoured the invite regardless, but having had told his wife to be with her phone close to her all the time just in case.
Once there, Noella welcomed him warmly and showed him in. They met and had a jovial time together until Alisha arrived and froze. Xavier told her to relax and that Harris is a friend of his and father to his stepdaughter, which left both jittery with his calm nature. Trouble was Harris was in his space and didn't know him at all while Alisha on the other hand had never witnessed Xavier tested, it was densely tense and he joyed it but cut through it gently. He called Noella to be with her father before they went into the game room alone this time, making Harris aware they go play together most of the time. They did for about 20 minutes or so and asked Xavier they go to the game room as he was not sure what awaited him in there.
In there he was impressed by the sheer size of the room and the games played in there. He worked him until his guard was fully down and sat him down. Xavier told him he was not in the life of his ex by mistake or for play, but for stay and that he doesn't want them to be strangers and enemies but co-parents to Noella, and as for Alisha, now that he was in the picture for good should respect that space and they'll together make good friends. Harris respectfully requested they extend their friendship to his family as well and Xavier responded warmly to that.
Because of the soundproof Alisha wasn't sure what to make of the lengthy stay of the two in there. After an hour and a half they emerged all smiles with Harris pouring self a glass of whiskey to show how relaxed he was. The two organized joint family outings and the friendship grew stronger than ever. At some point Harris was in a situation where he failed to pay for his children's school fees and asked for help from Xavier. He helped him and asked him for such arrangements to stay between them. He even made it a point to voluntarily throw in a 10ner or 12s to 15s his way so he patch his holed responsibilities. Through Xavier, Harris was slowly transformed into a better father and husband, a man any woman dreamed of snatching from his lucky wife.
One day when alone with Xavier, Harris asked him why he cared so much about him and his family, and he told him his life's story and atop of that gave him a lesson about what democracy is in relation to free market system in the economy. To him democracy has two sides to it, the dependency system and the capitalist system, and that he wanted not for their daughter to be forced to choose between them. As such, had to root him out of the dependency system into the capitalist system to diminish any gap in between. Said to him, "you're a man and any woman would kill for a type you are now, not what you used to be, and women love competition and where would it have put you had it gotten to that. You're now a man your wife secretly wished for, and it wasn't by me but by you Harris yourself in positioning self well. I thank and applaud you but the bottom line is you're now somebody and ahead lies how you'll keep her mesmerized. I can't tell you how but trusting you'd do a good job".
Zet is a 25 year-old neuter who wants an investment for his/her startup. He/she is from the Pefk family, who're known for their lithium economy domination through their company, Lithalinx Industries, leading supplier of lithium for battery manufacturing, power generation and, treatment for bipolar disorder and manic depression. The quarter century old had a challenge on how people should address him/her. This happens on every first time encounter with everyone as it's hard to tell wether he's male or she's female.
Zet had a business partner called Yaqja Singh, 27, who is a eunuch. Yaqja is a twin to Yaduan who was born first and Yaqja was sadly desexed to be the default family leader. As that, it meant Yaduan was the one given all benefits as the family leader and Yaqja as the hidden cast away in the family. His sin was being a twin boy in a time when his family was in serious need of girl children.
The duo formed a startup that started off having many difficulties as both their families weren't supportive of the venture from the onset. The duo made an agreement with a tyre maker company to sell them off-cuts of tyre rubber. Per kg, they agreed upon paying INR 195,50 and they had an other deal for processing and manufacturing at another company. Their company, Pesingh Thots, took the world by storm when they got an interview from an online friend.
Pesingh Thots made a device that was a revolution in its own. Their device was for babies. It read a child's electromotives and detect what they want when they cry, and show it on the device screen. Because it's for babies, they made it out of repurposed rubber. How it works was in that when a baby cries you take it and apply a sanitized lotion on its inverse and place it anywhere on their head and it instantly picks up what the baby is stressed about. Per your selected response setup mode, it then reflect the symbol or word on the device screen.
Named the diStressa, it changed their lives in just a matter of hours after their profiling. They received INR 2,8 billion for 45% they hinted as their availed stake. Their asking tag was INR 45 million and but it wasn't to be. In just a day they were billionaires. It was a shock to Zet's family as he had overtaken them by worth. The only problem with Zet that proved difficult to work with him/her was that he/she had never been in the presence of people more than 10 at once. He attended school online and all friends had never been in physical contact with him/her. The mystery of his/her nature fuelled the value of Pesingh Thots.
The odd duo where something else. Their relationship was that only read about in fairytales. A eunuch and a neuter together and succeeding. Yaqja's family didn't know how to handle their messed up relationship going forth as they have mistreated him. After just a false start of 60 000 units that were scooped up in just hours, they were inundated with a huge order of 4 million units. They bought a plastic manufacturing company and converted it into a diStressa manufacturer and also bought the factory they produced first batch of diStressa orders.
Because of his/her unworkable beauty, Zet's was mated to their brand as the face. Four months after much hype and sensationalism around their relationship Yaqja went out and for the first time ever in his life received tantamount attention that he got tired of smiling and signing autographs. He felt like a superstar.
In the fall of that year diStressa had sold just over 394,262 million units, and the turnover at a tipping point INR1,5 trillion. The investors stopped doing anything except be at Pesingh Thots to keep witnessing the magic created. When they opened the new year, both Zet and Yaqja were asked by the board to address their staff and motivate them.
Zet isn't used to big numbers of people in the same space. He did force and was a bad experience for him/her. To staff it was a momentous occasion as they never got to catch the sight of Zet. They cheered for over a full 80 seconds while for him/her a torture as he was dizzy. It was his/her first time in the same space as that. Their staff was a good 126 strong crowd. Zet said nothing except wave to them and kept quiet dismayed by the number of their own staff.
Yaqja's speech was a powerfully disappointing 24 seconds long message of thanks to you all, we are humbled by your hard work and dedication. Hopefully the same will be this year, we love you, and he was done. Taking a step back, some cheered and while others fainted with failure to contain their feelings for the duo. Worse was when Zet took a step towards the edge of the stage and say a simple "thank you all" that his/her aura left men down to their knees with weakness over his spellbound beauty. Some couldn't help it but cry. The power the two had was magical. Truth is, even board meetings with the two were an occasion all the time because of their graceful presence.
Due to the fact that media wasn't invited and also that it wasn't made public that the two will address the staff, none felt like going. Some lucky staffers got the chance of their livelihood boosts as they got offered big numbers for pictures of the two bosses together. In the following year's eve fall, it was reported that the sales of diStressa had touched 701,023 million, which translated to INR 2,769 trillion turnover.
Their solo investor, Ragunath Kumar, was the only one who understood the dynamics to working with the duo. Even his board was trained on how to handle their boss partners. He risked his all and put it on diStressa, and now jubilantly thankful he listened to his gut. He established a very tight global destruction network that saw the diStressa being a product that every single major retail chain store have it in its shelves. When he came in, he pooled his resources with another private equity investor, and he kept 25% of the availed stake. His investment firm is now one of India's most valuable private investments operators after only his partners, Zet and Yaqja's newly formed ZY Fund.
The two decided to stay together, and as they weren't crazy about brick and mortar structures, bought an Airbus skyliner for dwelling. It was ideal for the duo in that it allowed them to be anywhere in the world they may dream of waking up at. Life was a friend to them.
Q_will you live in a jumbo jet if could afford one?
Ve had a change to her life that wasn't expected ever. She lost her son and husband in a plane crash. Now left all alone and bored, she spends most of her down time with her sister in law, Hendrica. The coffee shop they were running for the past 16 years was sold in a huff because of unmanageable debt.
With Hendrica, she enrolled for a part-time course and together graduated with flying colors. At school they met with a Moroccan foreign national by the name of Ania. Ve and Hendrica became friends with Ania and even invited her to stay with them as Ve had already asked Hendica who's now living with her. Ve's home is a big 5 bedroom house on Valdemar Poulsens Vej in Aalborg, Denmark.
Ania is a smart woman who after hearing about Ve's financial crisis, advised her to have meetings with them as a clique to come up with solutions. They dubbed the sessions as crown gatherings. They held sessions twice a week. After 2 gatherings, Hendrica invited a friend over and a solution was found. Hendrica's friend, Xalla is a broker for underground essentials that she never categorically mentioned. Said her brokerage deals are done over the internet via crypto tokens, bidding apps and encrypted one time PIN transactions. She was a very connected somebody who got the 3 curious about her job especially after she promised them a breakthrough should they supply her with the required cargo.
In the next gathering the main topic was Xalla. A call was then made to her to get exactly what she'll want them to provide and she said she's not at liberty to say anything over the phone, then opted to setting an appointment with them for the day after tomorrow. That day came, and she was accompanied by another woman who wore biker kit with a helmet on. She asked they pray first and thereafter told them her organization was looking for some new blood, of which the 3 thought she meant them at first until she said they must choose the one who'll do the job. The guarantee was a cool €325K soon after delivery, and she left them for a decision.
Hendrica wanted out. Ve and Ania agreed to do it. Instructions were sent to them on where they were to drop the virgin boy and what they should give to him along the way to drink. They were given 48 hours to identify, secure and deliver the cargo. They found a charming 17 year old lad from Egholm by the name of Idebia whom they managed to rob and have a cruise with. On the way they gave him a drink that knocked him out until they reached their destination. They exchanged cars and drove back without any questions asked to the masked one.
In between Norresundby and Aalborg they received a call from Xalla telling them where to drop the car and take the bag in the boot. They did and was a safe and clean easy job with all the money found in the bag when they got home. The money was split between the 3 of them. Hendrica was given €50K and Ania €100K, with the rest to Ve. The next day Hendrica called Xalla asking if there's not another job. Sensing greed in her tone, she said yes, and it pays far better than the first. Asked her if she's with the others and she said no, then Xalla said she could do the job alone if she's up to it and stand to make a whistling €1million if done properly. The only catch with this one being that she'll have to be brave. And also, if she nailed it, to be given more jobs. But if not, she qualifies a reset, meaning she'll be given an exit life consuming assignment which is the best score ever, just that she'll have to do this one first as trial. She agreed and made arrangements without understanding and involving Ve and Ania.
She went and was horridly tested. She was directed to drive into the forest and deliver the cargo herself, and follow further instructions once there. She did as per instructions. Once there, two men offloaded their unconscious cargo and tied it. The poor girl woke up after several minutes and cried. She was given a bowl, surgical gloves and a small cooler box. The girl was laid atop a stretcher and got her clothes torn with a sharp knife to expose her body.
Hendrica was told to be ready to collect as much as possible for her bonus. Before she could ask, the man's hand was pulling the young girl's breasts and cutting them with blood gushed allover and her being shouted at to collect the flooding blood. She was trembling and crying with disbelief for what she's got herself into.
Thinking it was over, she was given the cut breasts to put in a translucent plastic bag and into the small cooler box full of ice cubes. As she was about to stand up with expectations of being released, was ordered to stretch her wide so they cut her lower part and she fainted. The assignment carried on despite her tossed aside. When she woke up, screamed seeing the young girl's lifeless body fed to lions in a den.
She was ordered to drive back and leave the car where she made the second last turn at before the one into the forest. Trying to reverse, she hit the tree, which made them realize she's shocked. They assisted her and once out the men called Xalla to inform her about Hendrica's state. She immediately called her to check her up, and felt indeed she's still shaky in her voice. She realized she's qualified herself for the exit.
She got the money and when at home she couldn't even count the money. She was bloated, crying and trouble was she couldn't sleep that night. Regret had the better of her. Same night, Ve called Xalla asking her what's wrong with Hendrica as she's locked herself in the bedroom and screaming, calling for them to stop cutting, but Xalla said she too is not sure.
The next hour Xalla sent Hendrica a text message telling her to drink a light vodka and the next early morning come to the filling station to meet up for her to go together somewhere for her to undergo a memory wipe ritual so she could proceed to the life consuming assignment with a price tag of €9million tax free. She couldn't believe it.
Out of suspicion Ve and Ania called her the next morning after she went out without a word of how she was doing or what was wrong with her. She didn't answer and then called Xalla. She answered and told them that she didn't know where Hendrica was. With global satellite position tracking app they found that the two are registering same positions and knew they were together.
Hendrica, as they were travelling asked how much she's making actually and with much curiosity on the current. She said she makes only 10% of the job put out. When they got there, a short ugly man pitched and welcomed them. He said he's Dark Soul and that he's the friend of the league and Xalla. With a growling voice said he takes and bank souls, sell them to the highest bidder. Worrying was when he said that today he's taking one more. Hendrica didn't catch that as they were ushered into the greenery background for her ritual.
With her in the middle, Dark Soul said he smells fear and it's fighting with his power burners. Xalla quickly asked for forgiveness and whispered to Hendrica to relax. She was reliving the horror of yesterday. The fact that the ritual is for wiping the trauma made her fight the pictures in her head. She failed to piece together that Dark Soul takes souls, and that the last assignment is the life consuming assignment, while the ritual is for memory wipe. The whole thing meant she's going to die and nothing knocked sense into her skull.
The ritual started and she was made to wear red wrappers which she was told were in the colour of her great grands. She drank a sapid yellowish sap that made her drowsily tranced and powerless. They centred her with candles and put before her a jar-like object that she was ordered to spit into, circle her face six times over and blow twice into. Her soul was surrendered and declared claimable. Suddenly the space felt breezy as it was now congested with ethereal Zephyr clade elements. Nodding alone and stomping the ground, Dark Soul turned with arms raised open and said: "another feast ready for YOU Ramamanih." He quietly signaled for Xalla to bow and turn.
Scenario 107
Qwertna Rose or Q, loved money from the day she was born, and that taken after her mother Dhiar. The two were inseparable. Q was a very known yoga dance girl who frequented strip clubs as an exotic lap dancer. She loved dancing with all of her heart and soul. Her moves one time freezed some quiet and naughty guy by the name of Pierre Payet.
One day he made advances to her and he court her. She wasn't a tough crush to claim, and soon they dated and within months the 26 year old was tied in a knot with the 23 year old. Their relationship was not a complicated affair, they were simply married friends who loved partying. They were out to party every single weekend. During the week both went to their work and met later in the day. Time together wasn't that much for them.
Pierre ran a designer studio, was a model and conducted classes at the local college and also at the community center. He was passionate about passing on skill and knowledge to the newer breed. He was the man responsible for the two tie wearing trend. He set trends in the past but this elevated him. Today, allover the world people are wearing two different ties at the same time because of his craze. His trend took the corporate world by the horns and shook it to no same. Just yesterday, the president of the sports federation was wearing a blue tie over the maroon tie, and he looked elegant.
His wife, Q was a chef. Pierre had a playboy cousin, Francis Vidot, whom Q strongly disliked of all his relatives reason being his behaviour of breaking girls hearts and not seeming to care. When together with Pierre you could tell there's a dense dislike of each. Francis has a security company that's doing well because of the pandemic regulations imposed. Lockdown meant more security personnel to safeguard assets and other valued possessions both by private and public sectors. F was coining it with brown sacks on the low.
Because of her husband's financial struggles, Q decided to act up on her strong desire to be alone with Francis, and for long Francis been biding his time for it. On their first date Q's younger brother, Roy, saw them and to his amazement they were too friendly to each other and decided not to even go and greet. It wasn't clear if Pierre was with them or not. One day Q's brother passed by and mentioned that incident which took him by surprise why Pierre didn't know about it yet everybody knows that the two are oil and water.
They played it safe for a long time until Pierre caught them red handed and out of panic Francis jumped out of her car and fled on foot. Afraid their secret will be exposed, Francis paid an illegal immigrant to take Pierre out of circulation and he did. When going to the scene to verify, to his discomfort, the assassin came back and demanded his balance right there on the scene. He transferred it and soon a bullet went straight into the back of his head, and he was gone. When Q arrived on scene to collect his cellphone, got stressed as it was nowhere to be found. She saw that the assassin didn't take anything after the hit but only Pierre's phone was there.
Rumours started spreading and that made the stress levels clock the upper knots of unhappiness. Not long the police became regulars at their home and but with many missing pieces of the puzzle in that Q never went to claim any benefit from any insurance company as if she's clueless about them. Only Francis' fiancee and family claimed. The police after some serious digging cooperated with the insurers to set the bait for Q as they made contact with her for the unclaimed policy benefits, and she said they can keep them as they won't bring back her man. But then, after the other insurer said there's a woman who lodged a claim on the benefit, she changed her tune and wanted the funds to be processed and transferred to her quick. The insurer denied her that and she demanded a set down with the woman. Unbeknownst to her, the woman was an undercover agent. The meeting was arranged.
On the day, the insurance agent was there to facilitate the meeting. Due to strict regulations, they couldn't get close to each other and Q was throwing threats like they were going out of fashion, vivid she was baying for her blood. She demanded to know where she stayed and twice never wanted to say until with assurance from the insurance agent that nothing will happen to her and her son. The insurance agent who also happened to be a police agent, got the woman to give Q her address and without a word Q upped and left in a huff.

The insurance agent who also happened to be a police agent, got the woman to give Q her address and without a word Q upped and left in a huff.
The same night a man with a gun visited the given address. Not knowing Q was on a bait, the man knocked and heard no answer from inside. He then broke the window next to the door and forced in. It was once he was in that he got a nasty surprise. The man was ushered into the arms of the law officers and same time confessed to being an illegal immigrant who's been hired by madam to take care of her problem. Immediately he was taken to the police station to make a statement and be formally arrested and charged. They made him call Q to tell her the job was done and when will the balance be paid, of which she unknowingly confessed in a recorded call that tomorrow morning she will effect it.
Twelve minutes later she was answering a door knock to her arrest. She tried calling her lawyer but said to her not to cause any drama and go with them as he will follow soon. Once there, there was nothing he could've done for her except help her with a statement. She was detained. The time news broke of her arrest and detention, headliner was new info that surfaced about records of social media chats in Francis' phone revealing deception via leaks anonymously. It was brought to light that Q was cheating on her late husband with the late husband's late cousin, Francis, who was the owner of a well known security company.
Also, adding to the damage was a text from Q to Francis telling him to write an SMS in his cousin's phone asking for forgiveness for laying a hand on her so she could siphon something out of him as he had a problem of forgetfulness. It emerged that she used to do such with her friends on him. Fake accusations were always levelled against him but because of love for her never said anything to anyone with the hope that she'll change albeit for the worst.
Her case, was high profile and she was convicted. She got into the hole for life. With none left to continue, Pierre's family took over the business of design and but failed at rescuing it as in five months they gave in to their failure. The business was bought by a foreign national for its fraction and rebranded it 'Guy n Design'. Q's mother thought her matured dermal layers of booty will appeal to the parole board. Dhiar seduced those men and had them have their way around her seasoned curvedonias, but didn't come back with anything out until she accepted her daughter lost. Because of pressure inside, Q was allegedly reported as having had committed suicide.
Guy n Design failed to grow as per projected forecasts, and on the fourth year was sold to an affluent family and struggled to scale up but held on to its position. If only Pierre were still alive, the growth plan could've been drawn. The business is to date as just one of the many design outlets to go to at Eden Plaza in Seychelles.
Q_can wearing two ties at once be a cool fashion statement? Who took the phone at the crime scene? Before Guys n Design, which name would you've given it to that business?
Scenario 106
Freynada de X is a fierce film industry player. Known as de X, she is executive producer of Xd Pixels. de X is married to Dublin's popular pharmacist, Carl Oisin Gallant. de X had her problem caretakers who were ever ready to do whatever she said must be done to whoever she said should be dealt with. Their first born was her favourite, Clodagh.
Xd Pixels did movies, music videos, tv programs, vid ads, brandcasting, and still clips, and bulk of their revenue was from music videos and bulk of their work was on tv programs. Xd Pixels pushes agenda that isn't part of the programme of the Eire Media and Information Guild (EMIG), which controls the gender empowerment, racial quota, content advision, code preservation, mastering and enforcement, and industry gatekeeping. She's the only female decision maker on the guild board while the only second woman being the board secretary, Adina Reris.
de X has two nemesis elements who're to her not deserving their seats in the guild and fighting tooth and nail to see her off but just not having her served in their dish for a chew and spit. The two are Regan Walsh and Jaylen Fitzpatrick. The two hate that she's been dominating the charts for six years running and with no sign of punching out. One of Xd Pixels managers was struggling to secure a clearance for an actor who's contract was expired, went to de X to express his stress about that situation. It was Jaylen's agency that was causing headaches for her staffer.
She went with the actor to Jaylen's agency, ManyCan Casting, for a negotiated path to a resolution and he didn't barge. She gave Jaylen the contract release papers and he said he won't sign, de X and the actor left his office. She dropped him off at Xd and drove off slowly showing that she's thinking, and she was. She called her main caretaker to organize himself and a backup caretaker as she's on her way to collect them. She did and they made a U-turn back to ManyCan.
Getting there she barged into Jaylen's office and found that he was on the other side of the building, in their boardroom. They were directed to the boardroom and it was obvious it's going to get ugly in there looking at how the two guys were in her back. Through the glass wall Jaylen saw them and jammed as they opened and straight to him she went with her guards on the doors. She was holding an iron ball in her hand and the minute he wanted to question her coming in there she dropped the iron ball onto the glass table and smashed it. She told him she's there for a release he doesn't want to sign. He quickly demanded she give it to him and she said it's in his office where he chose to leave it.
The guests in the boardroom were still and quiet, and she ordered Jaylen to go out with her to hand to her the signed release clearance. Trying to calm her down she broke the display cabinet and he apologized, and followed her out. The second they entered his office he tried to fight her but she swiftly pulled out a gun. Jaylen froze and signed without further questions. She told him to never mess with her. After they left, the meeting was adjourned. He was still shaking with disbelief. Jaylen got to understand why others don't stand in her way.
The following morning he called the guild president to inform him of his decision to resign from EMIG, but was reminded about rule 31 (1)(d). As per that rule he must appear before the board and state his reasons for pulling out if not expelled by the board. He was told that the meeting will be at 3 p.m.
The board convened and Jaylen showed up as summoned. He was at pains when the President unpacked their timeline with him, his passion and invaluable inputs over the period, to now what went wrong? The cabal was cracking. Jaylen frustrated them as he was his unusual self on the day, and worse was when de X asked him when was it that he took the decision to resign. Before he could utter a word, he phone flashed and eyeing it was a text message from his ex actor who was thanking him for the release. He dropped a tear but then again what he witnessed yesterday a reason good enough to drive one out of the cabal. The guild had no choice but to let him go and explore other opportunities the world of business has to offer.
Later that day it got to Regan what had actually transpired to lead his friend to exit the cabal. He went to check on him in person to understand what the cause was. Regan was flabbergasted. Trouble was he knows the reaction from de X stems from him and his treatment of her from the day she came in. He cut his stay short so he go through his clientele to ascertain none is intending on crossing the floor to her side. As if she's in his thoughts, Regan received a call from the villain herself, and it was for the first time ever that he was shook by her voice over the phone. She wanted to come over but he quickly opted they meet at the guild's offices as it was about the guild's work. She sensed stutter in his tone and made her fall more in love with herself.
During the meeting she noticed the thick aura of fear and she danced to it softly as if she's unaware of it. After they finished he felt like iced tea poured on him when she asked if he's been to visit Jaylen and he briefly paused and said yes, in his mind popped up the thought that she saw him or knew about their encounter. She told him to thank him on her behalf for a wise decision made, and stood up before thanking Regan for his time. He was gushed in a threaded blush.
Months passed and elections for a new board fast approached, and Regan was in the race for a President chair until he was informed that she was gunning for it too. He hit the brakes and because she was preaching transformation and gender representation quota, won on the day. She was unstoppable. Regan exited the guild on the following day with the understanding that all of the big contracts will be taken by Xd Pixels. The very same day de X paid him a visit to understand the reason and to introduce Clodagh to guild members individually, and found him shaking uncontrollably with fright of her. She told him to come back so they can grow the industry together, encouraging him to go call Jaylen to come back. He nodded and she was out...
Q_how will Clodagh act around all the members of EMIG? Do you think de X is a bully even at home? Can you work with such a leader?
Scenario 105
In his Panama weave was bananas and pineapples, but he was eating coconut apple. It was a very beautiful day for this witty trypophobian freak. Prof Chinnox Gustafson was a youthful 63 year-old omenophobic gynophobe virgin from LaPalma in Panama. He believed that if someone sees your bare natural form, they become tainted thinkers that in future will want to poach your purity, thus he slept alone, bathed alone, dressed alone, exercised alone. He saw copulation as a gender blind cacodemonic activity that was an intent of the creator to make it an agathodaemic enchantment that results in a reward of engagement in it.
Prof Gustafson was a very interesting article of humanofficiancy (ruler of own being). He likened his life to the reticulated glass frog of tropical Panama. His agathist livity made him a subject of curiosity among his peers in academia. In every circle that he spun into, his doctrine became the main center of discussion, he was an accessible auxiliary of mystery. His thinking and behaviour was like no another's, it made peers seem like epithite brainbenchers. He exuded an accentuated aura of ultimacy in infra-perma excellence.
At some point he developed a collaborative relationship with a fellow colleague at the university he lectured part-time. He full-time worked as an associate mathematician and director who headed an elite unit at a medicotechnical company, Protochemo Industrials Ltd, that traded as C-chem Pharmaceuticals. He specialised in research, development and archivals. He also contributed to a tech periodical as a columnist called Lab-orgy.
One day after his lecture on algorithms and alphanumerics, he touched on a subject of omegala and questioned his class of their perversion to finitive envisioning. He crossed into numerolatry and asked what they think when he calls out numerons and omeganumerics? The lecture was like no other they've ever got to be in and fed off its exposition. They were left in awe of his lucidity on the new subjects to them.
The fellow collaborator came in to sponge on the palatable communicator's conduit of knowledge. His shine saw the university receive a plethora of sponsors and funders seen never in any institution in the Americas. The fellow collaborator was so intrigued when she heard him refer to male students as fimo caudates, and how he addressed every of his ears his way. There was no way you'll never be attentive to his lessons, he elegantly commanded active audiencing. After the class she handed him a note with her big smile and walked out. She was asking him to denote the Prof from her name and just call her Zelda instead of Prof Aggano, but didn't go unquestioned by Prof Gustafson.
Zelda was a 54 year old single mom to a 26 year old womanizer who was running a painting workshop in El Casco Antiguo de Benidorm known as Panama Colors. When home he called her to express his discomfort in calling her by first name. The following week in their lab Zelda asked him to accompany her home to check up on her son as she left him a bit under the weather. Once there with him, her son Marco praised him for the person he is and he was chuffed as he read genuity in him. They spent some time together and found Marco to be an easy going young man he could gladly spend some time with. He later went back home.
Their four month long collaboration project won an award for best invention. Three weeks after, Marco bumped into Prof Gustafson at the same complex his store was and he took him there where he introduced him to his girlfriend Catalina. A week and a half later they met again and he was with another girl whom he said was a friend, but the lady cut into their conversation and reintroduced herself as Tina Fonteno, the girlfriend to Marco. Prof called Zelda worried and to his surprise found her to be casual about it, and he was lost for words. In the same breath, she asked for a date with him the same night and he declined.

A week and a half later they met again and he was with another girl whom he said was a friend, but the lady cut into their conversation and reintroduced herself as Tina Fonteno, the girlfriend to Marco. Prof called Zelda worried and to his surprise found her to be casual about it, and he was lost for words. In the same breath, she asked for a date with him the same night and he declined.
Zelda got it and kept her distance, she understood her son's ways offended the learnered colleague. She scolded him and screamed at him that he doesn't know what Prof Gustafson meant to her and he's jinxing it.
The following morning she went again to attend his class, he was teaching about molecular dynamics where he was talking about atomic bonds when one student asked about attraction and repulsion in compounds. He chucked the subject away and said it's easy only for someone who knows about the fatality of attention than for the one who knows it for they'll feel it better. Zelda interjected and asked about attraction and reactions. He said calmly that: "It's like reading about love vs being in love. Love attracts and love repels, if you react it's a choice and if respond still a choice, but what matters is the experience of it from reading it or out of being in it. The end line is that both have experience of love felt or not felt, just that the feeling won't be same. It's just but some memory captured in captions of words or acts by either you or someone."
After that, Zelda realized that she is on the other side of love experience in contrast to Prof Gustafson's. She exited. She later visited him at C-chem and asked him to teach her anything new. He said: "anything you say?" and she nodded. He said: "Salary comes from Roman times when salt was a mark of wealth, considered so valuable that a soldier's pay was originally in salt." She laughed and told him she thought he's going to continue with his earlier lesson so she could ask something, but, wow, it was nonchalantly profound. She was now more informed about what she'd have died having had none tell her about. She told him that he's special. He said he's just a lecturer and it's his job to inform those thirsty for knowledge, alike her.
Zelda struggled with him as he didn't seem to notice any of her signals. For a man nearing 64, he was a case study of rawness for her. Prof Gustafson was playing hard to get or plainly playing for the other team, or he's on the other side of the ground alone, of which to her fear seemingly the case. She wasn't the easy to give up type, she pretended to go home and followed him home by tailing him.
Two minutes in, she knocked and with a dumb face let her in. It was convenient for her as she used the heads up story to stay. She told him about the letter of endorsement for his project at the varsity from an Asian company still not revealed as yet but about to hear it the following day. They celebrated the good news and she left.
The following morning he got called by the VC to congratulate him for the big deal he brokered for the university. He was perplexed and caught it later. The university got a joint endorsement with him for the hospital theatre suits. To protect both medical personnel and operated patients, his varsity team made a connected suit specifically for theatre. The team wearing the suit could communicate amongst each other via a localized network without risking the safety of theirs and of patients. His project was applauded by overseas institutions and local ones. The university was at the time negotiating legalities involved, and millions to be made from it, and the millions Prof Gustafson stood to gain.
The Asian company wanted for their name and logo to be on the suit's right hand. And for that the university stood to make millions if agreed to that, of which they signed for. Before replication the university had already PAB 180 million banked and Prof Gustafson PAB 24 million richer, and his 19 students having scored PAB 250K each. He was known for being sharing when any proceeds were realized from their inputs. He was a fair academic of his time.
He never got to enjoy his fattest cheque to date. On that jubilant day he arrived at home to a cacodemon awaiting him with the root widely spread. He rubbed his eyes to open them again as he thought he was in a dream. Hisbreathing fast and loud, by then Zelda was playing with her river between. Prof Gustafson had never seen anything so fleshly flowered and uniquely sounding when rhythmically slapped. He had burning palpitated flushes of coitus forebode, his body was calling for what it had never known yet his mind was calling for rescue from that situation too devilish to endure.
Zelda worsened matters when she made her fleshly flower burp in a weirdly seductive way by forcing her fingerprint custodians deep inside. His mast out of his control oozed plankton seed debris. He wanted to escape the temptation as he was ashamed of the demon that abruptly hijacked his being and influenced his wiring to abnormality. She wasn't the normal Zelda he once collaborated with, she was possessed and he had no powers to exorcise her at that point else the devil in her will devour him. He chose to run away from her.
Prof Gustafson ran out of his house and with car keys nowhere to be found, sprinted down to the sea side. He saw her bare natural form and he wasn't ready to know it. Getting to the viewing platform, he paused and surveyed the surrounding. Satisfied he was alone, quickly rid self off the covers and took a leap jump as his sacred purity was tampered with. He gave his nature's best to the nature's worst. She saw him never again, his body never recovered and no trace connection made. She elected to stay yill sled to what actually transpired between them. One good thing that came out of that takeover was a young inquisitive sole she named Gustava, a miracle she loved more than anything in her world. To date, his family jointly with the university holds annual lectures in his commemoration.
Q_was Prof Gustafson proud or ashamed to publicize his virginity? On which side was Zelda's love compared to Professor's?
Scenario 104
As a 42 year old fatherless executive leader of a pvt equity company as its CEO, Xavier Vonz only knew that his mother wasn't his mother but an aunt at his mature age of 20. He rebelled against the deception from his family that they ended up buying him back. His mother was a hopeless wanton drunkard who is to date not caring where her son is and how he's doing. His mother, Onika Dimil, a woman who was very much in love with a Miwok descendant whom she chose to elope with over caring for their son.
In buying his love back for them, the Vonz bought him a car which he sold after driving for two months to invest in a friend's birthday wish, starting a small pottery barn. Their relationship was not as strong as it should have, and started crumbling after a year and a third. He exited with close to nothing and but with passion still intact.
He took a two year gap to grow self. That he did by reading anything from the dictionary to the bible to courseware obtained via multiple courses registered for with the aim of receiving first year material to learn from. He did research on various topics throughout the internet and libraries, and was satisfied with his thought of going for pvt equity. The following day Xavier registered his company.
It started off with just one investment. He fixed deposited his money in the meantime for a bit of interest and indeed it gave something. Registered as Xavionz Capital (XC), was a tad more than your usual normal capitalist entity. XC did three in one, bridge finance, equity investments and consulted on general business aspects. Eight months in, XC risked by partnering with two experts in the field of tax and brokerage. The two were Ernest Middleton and Selina Medina. Selina, a broker and Ernest, a tax consultant.
Years went by and XC made it big and by then Xavier Vonz's name was a sought after personal brand. What was intriguing was that he was still single and without any shade registered to his name. That made him be every available middle aged woman's fantasy catch. Despite his less average looks, he still made girls go crazy over him. One day he went to work with a group of executives at a venue where they'll be hosting a charity gala dinner. Whilst there he worked with this very polite and apologetic hotel manager. She made it clear she's aware of whom he was and attended to him well. Her well crafted persona swept over Xavier's soul and felt longing for more time with her privately elsewhere afterwards.
It didn't take long and his wish was realized when she called to share her team's gratitude for the successfully hosted event, and before she could have her hung up, asked her out and she said it's inappropriate but unless he joined her at the gym. He did and it flew from A to L and to Z quickly. Her name, Alisha, was now turned to babes. They moved in together at an apartment of her choice. Alisha had a girl child by the name of Noella. One day Alisha on a call with an anonymous person told them to not come because he'll ruin things for her with him, and Xavier overheard that and also the name.
The same day he went to see her cousin Roxanne, to know who actually Harris was only to discover that he was his step-daughter's father. The puzzling thing was that Alisha said they had no much contact and that he comes once in a full moon to visit his daughter for hours and leave. What was pleasant to him was being in the know that he's married. The following day Xavier went to Harris and he sat at the grandstand and studied him. A day passed and he went again to the sports academy to know him on the off-record basis. He told him of their CSR unit, Tout Alms, that would love to be a sponsor for his development side. Harris was ecstatic about the good news. They exchanged contacts and Xavier recused himself.
The very evening Xavier received a text from Harris thanking him for the opportunity and that he won't disappoint. Xavier responded by an email and after he replied it, left his laptop open purposely so she sees that. The next day he asked Tout Alms manager to call Harris to inform him he'll have to come in to sign a two year deal with the unit as their sponsor. He went the same day and signed.

The next day he asked Tout Alms manager to call Harris to inform him he'll have to come in to sign a two year deal with the unit as their sponsor. He went the same day and signed.
Just after signing he received a call from Alisha asking him what he's doing with Xavier. Surprised, he asked where she was at that particular point, thinking she was working there now since it's in her career line, and she said she's at work and assured him she doesn't work at XC but rather personally close to the founder of the company. Harris dropped her and called Xavier for an appointment with him. To his shock, he gave him his home address that was familiar to him and it then sunk in that he was signed to the man who is his daughter's stepfather. He was shaken but manned up and honoured the invite regardless, but having had told his wife to be with her phone close to her all the time just in case.
Once there, Noella welcomed him warmly and showed him in. They met and had a jovial time together until Alisha arrived and froze. Xavier told her to relax and that Harris is a friend of his and father to his stepdaughter, which left both jittery with his calm nature. Trouble was Harris was in his space and didn't know him at all while Alisha on the other hand had never witnessed Xavier tested, it was densely tense and he joyed it but cut through it gently. He called Noella to be with her father before they went into the game room alone this time, making Harris aware they go play together most of the time. They did for about 20 minutes or so and asked Xavier they go to the game room as he was not sure what awaited him in there.
In there he was impressed by the sheer size of the room and the games played in there. He worked him until his guard was fully down and sat him down. Xavier told him he was not in the life of his ex by mistake or for play, but for stay and that he doesn't want them to be strangers and enemies but co-parents to Noella, and as for Alisha, now that he was in the picture for good should respect that space and they'll together make good friends. Harris respectfully requested they extend their friendship to his family as well and Xavier responded warmly to that.
Because of the soundproof Alisha wasn't sure what to make of the lengthy stay of the two in there. After an hour and a half they emerged all smiles with Harris pouring self a glass of whiskey to show how relaxed he was. The two organized joint family outings and the friendship grew stronger than ever. At some point Harris was in a situation where he failed to pay for his children's school fees and asked for help from Xavier. He helped him and asked him for such arrangements to stay between them. He even made it a point to voluntarily throw in a 10ner or 12s to 15s his way so he patch his holed responsibilities. Through Xavier, Harris was slowly transformed into a better father and husband, a man any woman dreamed of snatching from his lucky wife.
One day when alone with Xavier, Harris asked him why he cared so much about him and his family, and he told him his life's story and atop of that gave him a lesson about what democracy is in relation to free market system in the economy. To him democracy has two sides to it, the dependency system and the capitalist system, and that he wanted not for their daughter to be forced to choose between them. As such, had to root him out of the dependency system into the capitalist system to diminish any gap in between. Said to him, "you're a man and any woman would kill for a type you are now, not what you used to be, and women love competition and where would it have put you had it gotten to that. You're now a man your wife secretly wished for, and it wasn't by me but by you Harris yourself in positioning self well. I thank and applaud you but the bottom line is you're now somebody and ahead lies how you'll keep her mesmerized. I can't tell you how but trusting you'd do a good job".
With that said, he asked him why he's saying that as their sponsorship deal is on the brink of its lapse and he pat him and said that's been the plan all along. To his dismay, asked him what he's feeling honestly and why, and he said he's disappointed that Xavier played him but not sure why. He nodded to his remark and told him there'll be no point to renew the deal as he'll be backing it himself, and he was lost. Told him he's secured him a stake in the company that produces their gear. He asked Xavier if that is what being in the economy system meant? He shook his head and said that it's not about the meaning but rather about the feeling thereof. Seeing his friend teary when handed him his share certificate issued a day before, he gave him a firm handshake of welcome, and departed.
Just when he was about to touch his car door handle, he sensed someone behind him and turning it was him, and he said to him: "who are you? Where would I've been hadn't it been for your true brotherly love? Who I am to become a 20 year fold advancement I couldn't afford. Thanks" and told him how he loved him. With a coarse voice said he should be careful of what he says and together hugged and laughed. He told him to remember that he now afforded his family's happiness and that's what matters the most and he'll be doing that from then on. When leaving said he loved him too. And to also check his email and confirm his availability for his first board meeting appearance tomorrow morning.
Breaking the news to his family he followed the script as Xavier told him to tell them he bought his shares through his provident fund. Xavier told him to buy a better car with his payout should he decide to resign and do home upgrade to be in sync with the part he was now. Harris spent the whole night tossing and turning in disbelief, reminiscing of the very first time they met.
The following day he was perplexed by the news that the company he partly owned has bought the team and its academy, and that it was under control of Xavionz Capital. He was a partner to his friend. He couldn't contain his feelings and during recess ran to the mens room to thank God for the good he had done so far for him through Xavier. He had 3.5% of a US$468 million worth company. Though Xavier wasn't in, he was impressive according to those in attendance as reported. His life was now interesting. He couldn't believe it hearing from his son that his name was in an article in the business section on an online newsfeed site, something that is a usual thing for Xavier. Nothing melted him more than seeing how changed his family was at his presence, really nothing beats that.
Q_ is Harris captured or well cared for by Xavier? Are Xavier's intentions innocently pure? Is this the ideal co-parenting compromise? As a man, would you invest in such a relation with another man for the sake of your kids and your out-of-wedlock child?

Scenario 103
Zet is a 25 year-old neuter who wants an investment for his/her startup. He/she is from the Pefk family, who're known for their lithium economy domination through their company, Lithalinx Industries, leading supplier of lithium for battery manufacturing, power generation and, treatment for bipolar disorder and manic depression. The quarter century old had a challenge on how people should address him/her. This happens on every first time encounter with everyone as it's hard to tell wether he's male or she's female.
Zet had a business partner called Yaqja Singh, 27, who is a eunuch. Yaqja is a twin to Yaduan who was born first and Yaqja was sadly desexed to be the default family leader. As that, it meant Yaduan was the one given all benefits as the family leader and Yaqja as the hidden cast away in the family. His sin was being a twin boy in a time when his family was in serious need of girl children.
The duo formed a startup that started off having many difficulties as both their families weren't supportive of the venture from the onset. The duo made an agreement with a tyre maker company to sell them off-cuts of tyre rubber. Per kg, they agreed upon paying INR 195,50 and they had an other deal for processing and manufacturing at another company. Their company, Pesingh Thots, took the world by storm when they got an interview from an online friend.
Pesingh Thots made a device that was a revolution in its own. Their device was for babies. It read a child's electromotives and detect what they want when they cry, and show it on the device screen. Because it's for babies, they made it out of repurposed rubber. How it works was in that when a baby cries you take it and apply a sanitized lotion on its inverse and place it anywhere on their head and it instantly picks up what the baby is stressed about. Per your selected response setup mode, it then reflect the symbol or word on the device screen.
Named the diStressa, it changed their lives in just a matter of hours after their profiling. They received INR 2,8 billion for 45% they hinted as their availed stake. Their asking tag was INR 45 million and but it wasn't to be. In just a day they were billionaires. It was a shock to Zet's family as he had overtaken them by worth. The only problem with Zet that proved difficult to work with him/her was that he/she had never been in the presence of people more than 10 at once. He attended school online and all friends had never been in physical contact with him/her. The mystery of his/her nature fuelled the value of Pesingh Thots.
The odd duo where something else. Their relationship was that only read about in fairytales. A eunuch and a neuter together and succeeding. Yaqja's family didn't know how to handle their messed up relationship going forth as they have mistreated him. After just a false start of 60 000 units that were scooped up in just hours, they were inundated with a huge order of 4 million units. They bought a plastic manufacturing company and converted it into a diStressa manufacturer and also bought the factory they produced first batch of diStressa orders.
Because of his/her unworkable beauty, Zet's was mated to their brand as the face. Four months after much hype and sensationalism around their relationship Yaqja went out and for the first time ever in his life received tantamount attention that he got tired of smiling and signing autographs. He felt like a superstar.
In the fall of that year diStressa had sold just over 394,262 million units, and the turnover at a tipping point INR1,5 trillion. The investors stopped doing anything except be at Pesingh Thots to keep witnessing the magic created. When they opened the new year, both Zet and Yaqja were asked by the board to address their staff and motivate them.
Zet isn't used to big numbers of people in the same space. He did force and was a bad experience for him/her. To staff it was a momentous occasion as they never got to catch the sight of Zet. They cheered for over a full 80 seconds while for him/her a torture as he was dizzy. It was his/her first time in the same space as that. Their staff was a good 126 strong crowd. Zet said nothing except wave to them and kept quiet dismayed by the number of their own staff.
Yaqja's speech was a powerfully disappointing 24 seconds long message of thanks to you all, we are humbled by your hard work and dedication. Hopefully the same will be this year, we love you, and he was done. Taking a step back, some cheered and while others fainted with failure to contain their feelings for the duo. Worse was when Zet took a step towards the edge of the stage and say a simple "thank you all" that his/her aura left men down to their knees with weakness over his spellbound beauty. Some couldn't help it but cry. The power the two had was magical. Truth is, even board meetings with the two were an occasion all the time because of their graceful presence.
Due to the fact that media wasn't invited and also that it wasn't made public that the two will address the staff, none felt like going. Some lucky staffers got the chance of their livelihood boosts as they got offered big numbers for pictures of the two bosses together. In the following year's eve fall, it was reported that the sales of diStressa had touched 701,023 million, which translated to INR 2,769 trillion turnover.
Their solo investor, Ragunath Kumar, was the only one who understood the dynamics to working with the duo. Even his board was trained on how to handle their boss partners. He risked his all and put it on diStressa, and now jubilantly thankful he listened to his gut. He established a very tight global destruction network that saw the diStressa being a product that every single major retail chain store have it in its shelves. When he came in, he pooled his resources with another private equity investor, and he kept 25% of the availed stake. His investment firm is now one of India's most valuable private investments operators after only his partners, Zet and Yaqja's newly formed ZY Fund.
The two decided to stay together, and as they weren't crazy about brick and mortar structures, bought an Airbus skyliner for dwelling. It was ideal for the duo in that it allowed them to be anywhere in the world they may dream of waking up at. Life was a friend to them.
Q_will you live in a jumbo jet if could afford one?
Scenario 102
The affluent suburban estate of Rypta was the playground for the money lords. In this prime opulent space resided only 30 families. The trouble with the nature of the well heeled is that they are always in competition with the other and that a good way of knowing each other, but not this one particular fella, Riss McRadiv. All the residents where known as they were constant news headliners, but not Riss.
Riss McRadiv is a new identity after a pseudocide offence by Devin Lamnokoff, a former Yugoslav assassin turned businessman. He now resides in England with his mother, wife, Trisha and double twins. His identity was a must as he was at some point his country's most wanted fugitive. His brother-in-law, Elisius Mirad, a politician and businessman, helped him escape to the UK through diplomatic immunity under the assumed name of Theo Hester and to Riss McRadiv once landed there. It was later reported that he got arrested and a week after that hyped propaganda the media revealed that his body was found among three dead inmates who hanged themselves.
Elisius bought high-end properties and businesses and changed their ownership statuses to Riss to legitimise him. Riss is now an owner of a 167 suites 5-star hotel in Scotland called Rissiv Hotel, a pottery in Leeds called Lencast Earthenware and a 10% stake in NewAir. New Air owns a company that manufacturers pyroballogic equipment and hypercopters (minicopters) called Aerobuilds, and a sports car dealership for his wife called Trishiv Auto dealers. Riss couldn't risk being seen in papers or media, he was ever careful. He, for safety reasons underwent a skin tanning procedure for full 10 months and thereafter went under the knife for two cosmetic surgeries for earlobe reshaping and nose flattening. The procedures did wonders indeed, he was different, nothing suspicious at all. He was now ready to mingle but never befriend just about anyone.
Riss met up from time to time with Elisius to afine his story since there was pressure for him to be profiled. He was at last seen and but at Rypta he wasn't that accessible except to one family, the Corfu natives, the Sideris. They built a solid friendship as he studied them and picked up that they were struggling to fit in. The husband, Leonidas dealt in mines and creative industries, with galleries, music company, radio stations and two cruise liners. The trouble with most of their conversations were a convolute for Riss as he doesn't know a thing about business. Leonadis was understanding of him as he was told and read about him as having inherited the empire from his late brother and having a consultry that runs his businesses. They envied him for he wasn't working hard but smart, though costing him dearly.
What Riss didn't know was that his friend was an ex-conman and during their chats busy zeroing in on him. In good time he could tell something wasn't put in the right pot, or Riss was a blatant liar. He was a patient man. One day he came with a proposal for him and left it for him to check it out. The business opportunity was in the region of £30 million and Riss sent it to Elisius who told him a week later to not invest in that scam, and made a promise not to. Going back to Leonadis, he was not sure what to say to turn him down because of their friendship. He took a leap of faith and agreed to the deal.
The following day, Leonadis told him he's off to meet up with the board of the company they were investing in and will be back in three days. As promised, he didn't come back but called to tell him he's coming back the day they finalized the finer details, of which he can't tell as of when. Three days in and a knock is heard and on the stairs was Leonadis with a bottle of 0% champagne to celebrate the conclusion of their brand new deal. Riss was relieved and they celebrated.
Two days later, Leonadis told him to deposit the money into his account so they combine it to make it £ 65 million. Riss instructed his financial consultant to effect the transfer but turned him down citing bad move. The next move he made was to fire him and instructed the banker who raised red flags over the transfer but because of him threatening to switch banks, effected that in packets to try get a chance of convincing his client it's a lot of money that's going into an overdrawn account. Not even understanding what's been advised, he furthered the instruction by telling him to available funds for a big plush SUV in the name of Leonadis.
Leonadis signed without hesitation and arranged for the car keys to be handed over to him. Still with such behavior, Riss read not much into it. A week passed and Riss as he was promised to be in a meeting with the partners together with Leonadis, got a huge surprise of his life to discover that there was a new property listed that morning and sadly was that of Leonadis. He was as told, scammed. He couldn't believe it. He tried his two numbers and they all went straight to voicemail. He didn't know what to say to Trisha because she didn't know, and can't go back to Elisius as he warned him afore.
With a heavy heart he rehired the financial consultant he fired and without apology told him to give him detailed reasons for turning down his instructions. The consultant drew a conclusion that he got burnt. He was now only £6 million afloat. He tasked the financial consultant to trail the transaction and told him it's possible to find the trace but getting it back near impossible. He said as long as he could know the last account it landed in it's fine by him, he'll take it from there.
It took two months to finally get the final destination, and it was in Comoros. He organized his underground friends and they flew there using minicopters. They landed on a deserted field and took their time searching for Leonadis until they found a connection to their lead after eighteen days. They followed up on it and bang there she was, his wife at the market. They tailed her and took them to their mansion. He was living like a king. He had gateguards and maids and a butler.
They armed themselves and the three of them made a successful get-in where they pounced on him. Because of anger he forced him to repay him and Leonadis said he used some of it to pay off his debts as his companies were heavily indebted. The only money he could transfer back was on £11.8 million. After transfer, Riss blew his brains out. Due to the gunshot heard, the police were called and a shootout occurred. They after one down and a couple of armed forces hurt, Riss and his accomplice surrendered. News broke and Elisius was dumbstruck as to what his brother-in-law did.
With that arrest, Riss was cocky thinking Elisius would come for him, but no, he in fact organized for a call to silence the two for good. The move was orchestrated by his diplomatic plugger and it was over with Riss. Elisius called his sister to check if she knew where he was and found that she's clueless, and he told her he was arrested in Comoro Islands and that he was that particular morning found hanging in their cell together with his accomplice. He then distanced himself from the whole saga until it died down. He then ran the businesses with the consultry and after a while returned them to himself.
Q_what is pseudocide? Who carries a diplomatic immunity? Can a minicopter be the solution for low air flying transport?
Scenario 101
She had to come full circle with
what she is. The only hurdle that Maya couldn’t run away from was being put on
the edge and her ego roughed up just to remind her who runs her life program.
She had people who made her and they were the master key holders to her good
life, so she had to do her all and anything to hold her position in the refined
geography she was planted in. Her family had to see her as successful and to
maintain that she had to keep the master key holders happy no matter what may
come. As a hotstepper in the world of design and manufacturing, she had to put a
plaster on her windscreen and project an aura of unsuperficial intelligence all
day long so she could be revered. Her chorus of life was being an inventor and
curator, and routed to ply her trade at a multinational babies essential goods
manufacturer, Tottee DaDa. The company’s best seller in their stores is their
diaper, the Tottees’ diapers.
Maya Scheepers, a South African born Londoner was the Chief Innovations Officer, and had studied graphic and multimedia design. She was a master at graphicacy, and that made her special to the head hunters. On the day of her interview she wowed the interviewers with her perennial creativity as she answered all their questions through a graphic novel. It was a magical and a eureka session that I believe was a first and possibly the last for all of them. Her line of answering adopted a stance of mute that compelled the interviewers to also get into her mode and made the interview a fun filled session of expressive and carefree creative art affair as they too ended up all questioning her on digiboards like she did her answering on one. This caught the attention of the company’s simple yet misunderstood chairperson, Ms Ellena Bowlingham, a non-conformist Aquarian and a mother of designed 11 year old surrogate triplets, upon hearing about her. To date, none had done such ever in their boardroom. Her lit ingenious wit cajoled them into appointing her on the spot and had her assigned her executive role’s duties and responsibilities right there and then. There was no doubt she’ll deliver
Her division entailed product concept, research, design, development, IP archiving and creative support. The head hunters had tabs on her since her establishment of a niche design firm, SpotX Creative Consulting, a London based creative and intellisulting firm. She did ground-breaking projects that had a trail of quirky conceptions. On her first day, she had no induction lined up for her since she was way above that, and the first thing she did was interrogate the name of the company’s stores. She flipped it from Tottees’ to T>B>E (The Baby Emporioum). The name carried specificity, expanded purpose and strangely the last thing she said was that it added a bold concepcion to the nakedness of the name, which in contrast gave it abstract character. Her creative support was ceremoniously cemented at first hearing of it. Her next step was to morph the product range and other related services never offered before in their stores. Maya’s fresh stroke of genius was unquestionably felt by all other divisions’ heads.
By the end of the week she was done with assisting in redesigning the logo and having it put as new signage and the inside from outside visibility improved by removing vinyl wraps on store front to all of their stores in London alone as a pilot. Their new positioning shifted them to competing in the same market pool as upmarket brands like LittleKings&Queens, Smallies, and Baby Keeps. In just two days the store managers reported changes of foot traffic and a new breed of customerbase into their stores, accompanied by the sales figures pointing north. The management knew from that day that she must never be let out of their hands.
The boss took her out to lunch the following day to pick on her rush and feed off her energy. She seemed unsettled at first but soon got her reminded that she is same as her just that the winds of control blow from the other side of ownership, and that she unreservedly liked her and expecting unconditional loyalty from her. Ms Bowlingham was fascinated by how this late twenties Gemini was different to her in approach and ethic workwise. She is a stubborn non-believer in hard working while the millennial afore her did. And again, for Maya’s age, it made her special that it occurred to her that they did good in finding her the very time she just got her cheque deposited for the sale of her firm. Asking her why she sold it, with a sweet charismatic voice said that she never believed in making other people attain their goals without achieving their dreams. That was so profound and astounding to the boss. Said, she started out with her wished dream of helping people be reflections of their own brands but no,,,so, she resolved to quitting when realizing that she wasn’t achieving her desired end goal. With her, the corporate brand overtook her personal brand, her novellus mistake.
Before the boss probed further, she interjected by asking her how it feels being her and having her out for lunch on that dry summer’s midday? The boss gazed at her with seriousness but ceased as she read no fear of her in her eyes but rather patent concern. She quickly knew the Gemini was already weighing her options post the current agreement and as a result should swiftly play to her strengths and align herself with her, else she won’t be with them as initially planned. The boss was by then regretting her gesture and unperculated move. The youngling proved to be too sharp for her though a striker to keep in her game plan given that she was wryly fielding her as a defender. In just a tick, everyone to her was overcrowding the middle-field with minimal blue ticks. In an instance, she fearfully loved her enthusiastically. She is the omnifit material beyond any reasonable doubt. After lunch, she dropped her off at the office and drove straight home to read her chart slowly.
After three weeks the HR manager called Maya to his office. To her dismay, she was asked if she’s elated with her revised package. She was struck but not clueless as she got a notification about her payment but hadn’t checked the amount as yet. The manager asked her to look at it and give him an answer as of then so he could revert to management on her answer. She did and her eyes rolled with disbelief and calmly said to him that she thought she was worth something else without saying out how much and walked out, of which left the manager cringing with uncertainty as to what to say of her remark. Hearing her response, Ms Bowlingham paid her a visit herself to unpack the remark. Maya acted surprised by her nervousness and assured her she’ll learn to grow in that amount. It was another riddle the boss had to dissect and conclude on. Maya showed she wasn’t keen on discussing her payment and switched the topic to her short-term ideas instead that worsened matters as to Ms Bowlingham a clear sign that Maya wasn’t planning for her long stay with them. She fabricated a parting shot and quick quick was she out of her space.
Given the way Maya was, Ms Bowlingham made Maya her project and had her followed to collect some insights into her. It took a month and a week to gather vital armoury against her and soon started plotting her plan. She discovered that Maya was owing some group a favour as they were the ones responsible for her education, upskilling and lifestyle, and to her delight were navigating a path to penetrate Tottee DaDa in the coverup of recapturing her. She found out that her behaviour was resultant from her freedom from their clutches, so, she tapped into her merkhaba staticity and joined forces with them.
Three months later, an
announcement was made and Tottee DaDa was 45% owned by her worst nightmare, the
Riggd Drim Group. The group controls everything in all aspects of her life.
Having being her direct bosses made her life a living hell and soon her
creative juices went flat. She then earned a portion of her salary, due to them
taking their bite off it. She still was earning a decent executive’s salary but
just not the same. Her wings were literally clipped and was frustrated again.
Her life was back to when she was undergoing their plugging. She had to sell
her firm because her having control wasn’t ideal to them and had to set her
free so she scout for them the next hive. She is good they know, and using her
an easy and unsuspicious entry into any entity they can advance their cause
through. She’s not informed of their moves and her trying to be herself a
potential ruin to their plans, so have to keep her in the right lane by
throttling her spirited nature.
As a token of her appreciation to them she was forced to sign a long-term contract with Tottee DaDa to reinforce her ties with the Riggd Drim Group as they have a lifetime pact with her. She cries for help but none understands. No matter how much she earns she will have to have her left with half of it and the group a half. Her not giving straight answers a way of protesting but to those not knowing seeing her as arrogant and ungrateful. Her salary was a silent killer as it’s a real dream in reality fantasized by the admirer distant to the truth of her life. To her family she’s an achiever that’s a pride and a blessing, a breathing aspiration they blew existence into, and a symbol of their collective progress. She rated among the top paid creative executives ever in the UK.
With her being the star child of the family, pressure got worse with time. Maya was living beyond her means. She was rewarded too much according to industry peering measures but earning just enough. Depression banged into her sadness and left her empty as a shell and, to her detriment her colleagues poured more sorrow to her dead spirit. She had to keep up facets hiding her tormented soul behind mirrored storyboards she featured in. She was at her lowest and none noticed yet cared to remind her of her reason for being there in that position. She then understood it when she was learnt during her training that there’ll be a point of your lost shine where you’ll be made to feel you’re worthy just to your creator but not valuable to the master key holder.
One day she graced the summoned appearance of her boss for a return lunch with her. She got into her. Ms Bowligham couldn’t bear her own offsprings and had to hire a womb to do that for her. Her triplets were designed in a lab through a jab after a two-week long procedure with some tedious list of donor sperms wrapped around layers of details after details to get the right outcome. She had a vision of how she wanted almost every detail on them and she wasn’t disappointed. And, for Maya to not upset her masters, had to do same as a female got no permanent stay guaranteed in a position of power because nature throws catch-up delays that plays the “freeze her fortunes to toss out” that sees them out of action for good if unlucky at times, in ref to an online article from Bloomberg’s Kathleen Hays and Michael Heath in Companies & Deals titled: Women can be fired for pregnancy in 28 nations, says World Bank’s Reinhart. On that day she had a lesson that revamped her hope at happiness and promise to her fulfilment. From that day she cared less what they did but slay with humbled obedience silently knowing she’s learnt something they won’t break into, her own designed family, the shades that’ll restore her worth, the eternal gift she’ll hone self and extend herself through without them having a hand of control over.
A week later she was back to her saddle with a range of baby outfits that matched pets clothing and accessories. She gave also a mockup model of the future store layout that’s divided into four spaces. She showcased: 1; space for baby usables and clothes, 2; in-house paediatric clinic with dispensary and pharmacy, 3; Tottees’ Own space (for kids’ own clothing and toys designs), and 4; kids food bar (confectionery, bakery and vital meals) which promised to be a hit. In nine months the company realized a whopping threefold growth and Maya with her earnings doubled. By that, the boss grew closer and closer to her. Her masters eased their grips on her and made her part away with only 35% worth of her earnings to them as she was single-handedly upscaling the brand and driving their investment’s growth. Since then, every division head wanted her sit in during their seatings as her scope covered divisional support. She was a marvel to watch, a kinetic figurine Ms Bowlingham herself struggled figuring out how it did it with composure at that level with such consistency.
And, for the first time in her captured life, Maya felt she was comfortable inside her own freedom cage, felt being genuinely respected, and deeply appreciating her masters for the choice they made in her even though it took her years to realize the yields of SENKRITA. At the end she earned her mark atop her chorus of life. She got the docked scrolls of the code decoded. Overjoyed by the prospect of the only shade she plans to have, her psyche was at peace with her bubbly contentment. To them sadly, she’s been that rarefied parrot that schemed with every sneaking type visitor for it to be stolen so it can get to experience freedom, forgetting it’ll still be caged at the new owner’s house.
Q_what is Maya really fighting
for in her life? Is it true that boardroom politics are harsh towards women’s
nature? What’s SENKRITA? What does being made mean?
Scenario 100
Day came to pass and the Dunilla sisters were very angry at the service provider who over-promised but under-served them. The undertakers came to them the next morning after the announcement of their father’s death. The publicity craving funeral parlour’s manager, Ms Nadia Forrester, was dead sure they will handle the whole process without any hurdles as they do that all the time and report timeously on all matters arising as they go. Camilla Dunilla, the eldest daughter to Morris Dunilla, the deceased CEO and Chairman of Britalia Breweries, with brands under it’s line-up being D’illa Lite, D’illa Draught, D’illa Pilsener, Kucaros Alcotea and Laslova Premium Cider, was the fire starter of the trio.
The bone of contention was that Nadia promised to report only to them but switched allegiance when the widow contacted her about her blank cheque, something the sisters failed to dangle before Nadia’s eye. She started arranging everything with their mother, Reinet Dunilla, who’s estrange to them. Reinet was staying apart from them for four years, a secret kept by the family to this day. She kept saying she wanted to divorce Morris but never made any move along those utterances.
Her being hated by her daughters resulted from the day she was caught in the shower with her driver and instead of apologizing said she felt dizzy and asked Aaron to bathe her in his nude. The problem was that all of her daughters had a crush on the obviously well endowed driver as he loved adorning tight slacks. Their mother as well couldn’t resist the then 28 year old’s heavy bulge.
On the day of the funeral, the world got shocked in disbelief of what Reinet did. She chose a Modena see-through glass coffin that was revealing the coffin contents. It comes in two styles, clear or frost smoke, and she wanted clear, flown all the way from Emilia-Romagna. As Morris was a popular nudist among his circles, a known fact to his family, Reinet made the send-off be same to commemorate his liberated spirit even in his death. She also defied Covid-19 regulations by not wrapping the coffin arguing that her husband didn’t die of Corona but lung cancer. His body was bare in the revealing glass coffin and made everyone who came close to it to see his wholeness. The funeral theme was clear and simple: ‘A life lived in glass’. His funeral service was streamed live and the perverted camera operator kept zooming the coffin. At two occasions the full frontal view was captured. The live capture set the online streaming channel ablaze with views that surpassed any that they’ve ever had to date.
As the board sat a day after the funeral, she was there online and was unanimously appointed as the new CEO and the then COO as the new Chairman. Her daughters were green with envy and red with rage. Fact is, their mother is a marketing marvel who slay guru minds with her charming wit. The coffin drama gave their company and brand products exposure mileage. With more than 1,43 billion views and 876 million searches online on the late CEO and Chairman, the company website saw traffic jump from 225 000 visits a year to 91,06 million overnight. In just a week, Britalia Breweries was attracting serious investment propositions.
Britalia Breweries changed face under the stewardship of the Queen Brew Bitch as she was now called. Reinet caused another stir in her family when she proposed for Camilla’s husband, Hector, to be the group’s master distributor. This meant he’ll be flying out from time to time and will be close to their mother, so, she may snatch him from her. Camilla has only 3,5% and her younger sisters 3,25% each, while their mother a whopping 38% combined with the 30% she inherited from their father. She was too powerful and frightening for them, hence her disapproval of her husband’s proposition from her mother. Her threat in chief was news that he’ll be earning 11 times what he earns currently.
The power takeback didn’t cease
there, Reinet approached also the boyfriends of both her younger daughters to
be robed into the company’s fold. Their salary packages were going to up by 8¾
times and 6 times than current earnings. The stir worsened when one of them
revealed how their mother operates. They heard that she took them to her
palatial homestead and got them pampered then later taken to the theatre where
they were entertained by strippers. This happens to other executives too.
Reinet was a free spirited person. This made her daughters fight nail and tooth with her for the freedom of their spouses from her domination over them. What they all omitted was the fact that they did have some nice time and hidden moments with those strippers and only Reinet and them knew. This made them fail to back out of her deals for them. She assembled a very talented team of like minded aspirants. In total they were 9.
Due to pandemic downturn on revenue, Reinet made Britalia Breweries withdraw all its sporting codes sponsorships to save on the remaining coffers they were to lose out as the returns were too low to justify continuum of their sponsorship program. The board convened and her neck was too stiff for them to turn to reconsideration. She reiterated the need for variable-cost-reduction capex to increase leverage.
The following week she announced to them that there’s a new member to the brand, which made them think she’s introducing a new addition to the product line-up. She told them to brace themselves and unveiled an investment wing of the company. Still reeling with amazement, introduced to them the team behind the new wing, also making them choose between two names for the wing. The name BritaCap won over BrewCap. One thing funny though was that her team had already gone for BritaCap under her persuasive guide and, for the board made a mention of the alternate fully aware they’ll too go for her favourite and if not been the case, having had a way routed out for her choice. She even presented the list of potential targets to go after, to entice them more. The board was wowed. They suddenly saw new frontiering that will add immensely to the bottom-line. They applauded her unreservedly.
Within three weeks of setup, an
IPO was publicised. The investment wing, BritaCap, was set to list at 0.50
pence. In the weeks leading to its listing, BritaCap managed to secure a
minimum of 15% in each of the prospective targets they approached starting from
online betting brand, Zennbet, at 24% to the leading premium condom brand,
Translusex, at 18,5% and two top-tier football teams at 15% apiece with one in
English PL and the other in Spanish LaLiga. She was never gunning for any LBO as
it attracts loss and shifted responsibility their side. Her intent isn’t nanny
investments but rather co-parenting ones, hence the 25% ceiling for each
investment made. With Britalia Breweries’ net value of £ 106 billion, BritaCap
was allocated a crazy £ 71 billion that vividly pointed to clouds of certainty
that they will cash in big time, the need for listing was swept under the
carpet. Reinet briefed them to prioritize on targets that will prove pandemic
proof, recession proof and also are dot
connection based. Condoms, games, telecoms, television, tech device
manufacturers, food processing and retailing, pharmaceuticals, soft drinks,
glass and plastic manufacturers, etc, and in 6 months the board was loving her
more.
The investment wing yielded a return rate never seen in the company’s 33 year long history. They made a revenue of £ 31.240 billion or an ear deafening 44% ROI. In her short ever speech said to them that, “It’s no beginner’s luck. This is an opportunity you’ve been missing all along you kept me silenced” to a round of applause after a brief pause. It became vivid that them with her, Y2K20 lockdown hadn’t yet reached their vicinity.
To save employees’ jobs, she negotiated a reduction in earnings for Britalia Breweries stay at home staffers and negotiated with Glaccos, the glass manufacturers who supply them with their products bottles, and having BritaCap as a shareholder, to design new bottles that will be sold as lockdown souvenirs that they’ll sell empty for people to collect. They loved the idea and did that. The bottles had no bottle caps and had one letter, digit or character symbol of dash on them, with either Y2K20 or Y2K21 printed below each bottle to show in which year it was manufactured. For a full collection one had to buy all those bottles that will in total line-up written CORONA VIRUS COVID-19, meaning a total of 19 bottles.
She even suggested a competition in which only the first 19 fully collected same year corresponding bottles will receive £19 000 buy back prize. The price of each bottle was equal to a full bottle unit they sold prior to the lockdown. The ingenious idea raked in more revenue than they did selling full NRB units. Reinet was really the ace of brewing industry. Some bought the bottles to use as vases, others as replacement for tumblers (especially those bought in bulk by liquor license holders), and others as displays for deco. Reinet to date is coming up with out of this world ideas and joying her work and silently gaining respect and affection from her daughters.
Q_what can you do to profiteer for your entity out of the pandemic? Do you agree that the board’s decision to shut Reinet was out of fear she’ll topple Morris with her brilliance? Guess Reinet’s zodiac sign.
Scenario 99
Ve had a change to her life that wasn't expected ever. She lost her son and husband in a plane crash. Now left all alone and bored, she spends most of her down time with her sister in law, Hendrica. The coffee shop they were running for the past 16 years was sold in a huff because of unmanageable debt.
With Hendrica, she enrolled for a part-time course and together graduated with flying colors. At school they met with a Moroccan foreign national by the name of Ania. Ve and Hendrica became friends with Ania and even invited her to stay with them as Ve had already asked Hendica who's now living with her. Ve's home is a big 5 bedroom house on Valdemar Poulsens Vej in Aalborg, Denmark.
Ania is a smart woman who after hearing about Ve's financial crisis, advised her to have meetings with them as a clique to come up with solutions. They dubbed the sessions as crown gatherings. They held sessions twice a week. After 2 gatherings, Hendrica invited a friend over and a solution was found. Hendrica's friend, Xalla is a broker for underground essentials that she never categorically mentioned. Said her brokerage deals are done over the internet via crypto tokens, bidding apps and encrypted one time PIN transactions. She was a very connected somebody who got the 3 curious about her job especially after she promised them a breakthrough should they supply her with the required cargo.
In the next gathering the main topic was Xalla. A call was then made to her to get exactly what she'll want them to provide and she said she's not at liberty to say anything over the phone, then opted to setting an appointment with them for the day after tomorrow. That day came, and she was accompanied by another woman who wore biker kit with a helmet on. She asked they pray first and thereafter told them her organization was looking for some new blood, of which the 3 thought she meant them at first until she said they must choose the one who'll do the job. The guarantee was a cool €325K soon after delivery, and she left them for a decision.
Hendrica wanted out. Ve and Ania agreed to do it. Instructions were sent to them on where they were to drop the virgin boy and what they should give to him along the way to drink. They were given 48 hours to identify, secure and deliver the cargo. They found a charming 17 year old lad from Egholm by the name of Idebia whom they managed to rob and have a cruise with. On the way they gave him a drink that knocked him out until they reached their destination. They exchanged cars and drove back without any questions asked to the masked one.
In between Norresundby and Aalborg they received a call from Xalla telling them where to drop the car and take the bag in the boot. They did and was a safe and clean easy job with all the money found in the bag when they got home. The money was split between the 3 of them. Hendrica was given €50K and Ania €100K, with the rest to Ve. The next day Hendrica called Xalla asking if there's not another job. Sensing greed in her tone, she said yes, and it pays far better than the first. Asked her if she's with the others and she said no, then Xalla said she could do the job alone if she's up to it and stand to make a whistling €1million if done properly. The only catch with this one being that she'll have to be brave. And also, if she nailed it, to be given more jobs. But if not, she qualifies a reset, meaning she'll be given an exit life consuming assignment which is the best score ever, just that she'll have to do this one first as trial. She agreed and made arrangements without understanding and involving Ve and Ania.
She went and was horridly tested. She was directed to drive into the forest and deliver the cargo herself, and follow further instructions once there. She did as per instructions. Once there, two men offloaded their unconscious cargo and tied it. The poor girl woke up after several minutes and cried. She was given a bowl, surgical gloves and a small cooler box. The girl was laid atop a stretcher and got her clothes torn with a sharp knife to expose her body.
Hendrica was told to be ready to collect as much as possible for her bonus. Before she could ask, the man's hand was pulling the young girl's breasts and cutting them with blood gushed allover and her being shouted at to collect the flooding blood. She was trembling and crying with disbelief for what she's got herself into.
Thinking it was over, she was given the cut breasts to put in a translucent plastic bag and into the small cooler box full of ice cubes. As she was about to stand up with expectations of being released, was ordered to stretch her wide so they cut her lower part and she fainted. The assignment carried on despite her tossed aside. When she woke up, screamed seeing the young girl's lifeless body fed to lions in a den.
She was ordered to drive back and leave the car where she made the second last turn at before the one into the forest. Trying to reverse, she hit the tree, which made them realize she's shocked. They assisted her and once out the men called Xalla to inform her about Hendrica's state. She immediately called her to check her up, and felt indeed she's still shaky in her voice. She realized she's qualified herself for the exit.
She got the money and when at home she couldn't even count the money. She was bloated, crying and trouble was she couldn't sleep that night. Regret had the better of her. Same night, Ve called Xalla asking her what's wrong with Hendrica as she's locked herself in the bedroom and screaming, calling for them to stop cutting, but Xalla said she too is not sure.
The next hour Xalla sent Hendrica a text message telling her to drink a light vodka and the next early morning come to the filling station to meet up for her to go together somewhere for her to undergo a memory wipe ritual so she could proceed to the life consuming assignment with a price tag of €9million tax free. She couldn't believe it.
Out of suspicion Ve and Ania called her the next morning after she went out without a word of how she was doing or what was wrong with her. She didn't answer and then called Xalla. She answered and told them that she didn't know where Hendrica was. With global satellite position tracking app they found that the two are registering same positions and knew they were together.
Hendrica, as they were travelling asked how much she's making actually and with much curiosity on the current. She said she makes only 10% of the job put out. When they got there, a short ugly man pitched and welcomed them. He said he's Dark Soul and that he's the friend of the league and Xalla. With a growling voice said he takes and bank souls, sell them to the highest bidder. Worrying was when he said that today he's taking one more. Hendrica didn't catch that as they were ushered into the greenery background for her ritual.
With her in the middle, Dark Soul said he smells fear and it's fighting with his power burners. Xalla quickly asked for forgiveness and whispered to Hendrica to relax. She was reliving the horror of yesterday. The fact that the ritual is for wiping the trauma made her fight the pictures in her head. She failed to piece together that Dark Soul takes souls, and that the last assignment is the life consuming assignment, while the ritual is for memory wipe. The whole thing meant she's going to die and nothing knocked sense into her skull.
The ritual started and she was made to wear red wrappers which she was told were in the colour of her great grands. She drank a sapid yellowish sap that made her drowsily tranced and powerless. They centred her with candles and put before her a jar-like object that she was ordered to spit into, circle her face six times over and blow twice into. Her soul was surrendered and declared claimable. Suddenly the space felt breezy as it was now congested with ethereal Zephyr clade elements. Nodding alone and stomping the ground, Dark Soul turned with arms raised open and said: "another feast ready for YOU Ramamanih." He quietly signaled for Xalla to bow and turn.
Just after that, Hendrica held her neck and started kicking, to which Dark Soul started clapping, followed by Xalla's ululating. In a minute they halt and placed their palms on her head, said go well. After a brief moment of silence, through gestures of eating, did so for full 6 minutes and after she upped and left the remains with Dark Soul, singing 'I'm full of power'.
Ve and Ania heard nothing ever again of Hendrica and never heard from or seen Xalla again. In her bedroom they found the bag and money, but surprisingly this time around, that money disappeared from the bag in which it was. It was a miracle. None ever dreamed of her and their both families asked never about her. She died and to date no closure to Ve and Ania, but to the families seemed she never existed.
Q_what's the worst thing you've ever done to make money quick? Why did Xalla entice Hendrica for her own death? What do you think happened to Hendrica's remains? Why have the families forgotten about her?
The guys at TopDrop made his circle bigger and soon he was spinning in their world of glam and made dreams. He had gigs lined up where he did pluggins for various labels and artists. Not so long he was signing a single-a-year deal with his choice of music label. He was living the dream peers only hallucinated of. With his deal, when booked, it depended on who made the booking. He was booked as either an influencer, a plugger or an artist. If booked him for influence he'd appear on stage or visual for a fee, if be for plugging would play that booker's track, or be for his single and out the stage after that performance. He was not expensive at face value but was in practical terms, just that a lot looked at the hype around him. He was also silently the busiest artist in that era in that he could be booked in 15 events every week and 2 to 3 profiles a month.
He became the cash cow for the label and soon he was a regular on a web series and doing show hosting gigs, he was everywhere but managed perfectly as he was allowed to continue being himself by not making rounds in public too much. He never stayed long at gigs, loved indoors and not too much on social media platforms. He was wise in heeding to his managers' advise all the time. When recording his songs, he never did collaborations and was also not accepting any collabo with anyone. This made him very exclusive yet very out there for access.
The only collabo he was won over for was with 7hefinest & LucyX, his younger brother's favorite artists, a hit they performed even at his graduation ceremony and 6 weeks later at the marketing and advertising awards. The single, 'Mea uno (ab alto)' quickly turned out to be a classic collector's item as he was honest about it as his only work ever as a featured artist, so was the performance evidencing that fact. The single broke records and gave him access into the African music scene. The single fuelled his popularity as it blazed the markets from his hometown to South Africa and beyond.
In 3 years fame was still experienced in a big way by him. He was still so relevant and signed another deal for 4 years. The aim was to conquer continent after the other, and it worked. He became the only artist in the music industry to be producing 1 song a year yet made money year long. He was heavily sponsored by big and reputable brands with products like 1 Mile sneakers, one track insurance policy for creative industry personnel by Rediff Sure, Chovo tyres launched their new range 1C with his track '1nce', Fire Blade heater's 1 bar range, Gwyneth Air launched 1+1 seat for plus sized passengers with him, and 5 other ones as he only did one endorsement deal at a time for a year and multiple sponsorships to avoid dilution of the brand endorsed. Despite that, he remained rarely sighted in public yet a regular interviewee on many shows. His songs were different from each other as they targeted a specific market each time they got released. He was friendly in social circles but not friends with any players in intimacy levels with the entertainment industry space.
Copying him was The Featured Artists, a young duo who didn't do own songs but did through featured collabos with others. Their buzz was waned by their too much circulation in the market. Again, their claim that D1T wants to feature them to boost sales didn't work as he was quiet as usual and kept on doing his campaigns without dignifying them with an interview as they thought it to be. His management blocked them cold and dried the hype with ignorance choke. They later apologized later after media started calling them destructive copycats. Controlling fame is hard and mastering limelight urges a winner already against any fame seeking strutters.
Dj1Track's management team did what a lot of management agencies only wish but failing because of picking every single cent they come across. The relationship between them and him outlasted their professional relationship and continued even after. 7 and a half years into the game D1T retired from the scene still relevant and celebrated whenever he was in public. He was still endorsed by 8 brands 2 years on and still booked to grace events. A university signed a 3 year deal with him to appear and say a few words in their biannual open days exhibitions. His staying power was the result of a good management team and completion of his dyemantry scrolls with the label manager.
Truth be told, TopDrop has never had an artist as diversified as he, and as well as profitable as he. Through D1T alone, the team grew from 4 staff members comprised of MD & label manager, bookings agent, artists manager and office administrator, to now with driver, bodyguards, carry buddys, media consultant, brand consultant, content creator, 2 ghost lyricists, provincial activists, bloated to a 29 heads strong dominant team. Their earnings were up there since Bluddy Blu quit singing to focus solely on the label's business. On the other hand, Jadon was a millionaire and still raking it in. One thing good about him was that he never even for once longed for the days before fame, he knew it was destined for him and him the material of that stuff...
Q_was D1T's move a betrayal of trust to Feel Nagano? Is Bluddy Blu a ruthless or brutal businessman to you? How many songs did D1T released?
As the newly appointed Group DRO (Diplomatic Relations Officer) of the QuadValuta Group or QV Group, he learnt immeasurably as the CCO (Chief Compliance Officer). His position meant he's got no boss either than the Group MD, the Chairman and the President of the conglomerate.
Kim, better known as DRO Nambu, is a close friend of the company leader, President Jeong, and in the same alumni association with him and the Group MD, except for Chairman Cha who studied actuarial science in the UK. DRO Nambu holds a B.Com Law from a university in Suwon and an MBA from KUBS. He worked for brief stints in several institutions before starting his corporate law firm, Nambu & Associates, to later be reunited with his friends back home in Seoul. They were accepted and initiated into the academic elite cult called $e'nnights £egato by President Jeong's father. The three are the triangular forces that shields QV Group's pillar of power.
President Jeong's father vacated the position because of his struggle with his Rhinophyma. He felt the laser treatment on him didn't do best to contain it after his attaint traditional treatment methods didn't pass the test. He still runs the show from behind the veve curtain. His stress is caused by his son's un-alpha male behaviour. He discovered that later on into the season of combs that his son chose the unorthodox hand to uncurl the mast shrubs of his co's, DRO Nambu, Chairman Cha and MD Jae-han. His son's gentle rollup and down of one of his co's therapeutic rubberized mast hoodie was his a fortiori give away to his suspicion. His worry was for how long had it been and whether his co's are like him or maybe not noticing that, 'cause if they do, chances are they have been long fielding the weeds outside of the cult's confines.
His suspicion was not vague but unable to be confirmed. In the veil of power corridors lurked a heavy taipo aura that surrounds the four's realm. They were the perturbation of the conglomerate, the element streaks of double air, fire and earth. In camera they ripped each's expensive soft leathers with velvety canine companions and proding their yester stars like they're primal enemies. Their back entrance at Axajk Bar an engraved sacred tunnel. As a team, MD Jae-han is the tamed spirited animal, while President Jeong, Chairman Cha and DRO Nambu are the wild spirit chasers. Most of their moments away from frosted panes are arsoned there into each other.
DRO Nambu's wife, Won-kyung, has a son that she came into their marriage with, Jung, 18, before the second and last born, Hong, 14, whom he's very close to. He is busy learning him the ropes so he'll take over Axajk Bar one day. The two are so close that Jung even takes his dual persona and already shadowing him. He also approve of his stepfather's veil of secrecy and asking to be in, though still a bit of a challenge for him.
At school he isn't one of the best but his stepfather is paying the university for him to have a leeway. His love for his stepson a heart melting affair for any mother. With his stepfather in check, Jung at 19, appointed his crown cleaner and started prepping him for the veil of secrecy. Jung is ascending slowly and but humble still.
To be in, the top 5 must chanel their own business' revenue as a pledge into the conglomerate's funnel to secure their group executive position. That meant the Group CEO, Group CFO, Group DRO, Group MD and the Chairman. Out of them, three gets chosen by the cult to join the President as joint crown cleaners with the DRO as the sweeper, and together form a triangular force around the crown ruler, the President. They become bound by pact in the kitzu before the fane council of $e'nnights £egato, that'll last 7 to 14 years before they be part of the council.
A few days on a letter of demand was received by the P5 team, and to their surprise, their lawyers took days waiting for response which drew nil til the last day of validity. A call was made to the P5 team and they acknowledged having seen the letter but was not at the rightful company though the address was right. The lawyer asked where they should've sent it to, and he jokingly said to court instead, and but gave them their legal team's address and firm name without any details.
The three were demanding 30% worth of the deal as they weren't yet signed out of the incorporation certificate as yet of the company, P5 Petroleums. The redrawn letter was sent to the lawyers who too ignored it and did nothing with it. Then after 10 days a call was received by the lawyers and they didn't agree on anything as according to the three's lawyers, they were playing dumb to avoid paying fairly what's due to their clients. The next thing summons were received and then day came they headed to court to hear what really is it that the P5 prodigals are demanding from their clients.
In court, the three's lawyers were left with an egg on their faces as they had to discover the money that bought the land was entirely from Matt Zeblon, that the three had signed their break-away from the company and evidenced by minutes of the meeting, that the day they walked out the name P5 Petroleums was ditched and a new company was formed and incorporated as 2P Petroleums (Pty) Ltd, and lastly that their clients actually deserved no cent from the deal, which was concluded at ZAR 62.5 million. They lost with costs and their lawyers wanted nothing to do with them thereafter.
The next days a letter of apology was dropped by hand at 2P's address, and both Matt and Stanley read and laughed at it loudly. The three prodigals were asking for forgiveness and praying for a come back if they were still in need of their services. 2P bought four filling stations and six tanker trucks to deliver fuel with and some shares in the fuel making company they deliver for and bought franchises of for a whopping ZAR 59.077 million. They shared ZAR 500K equally and the remainder was for their working capital. Their partnership was for 65/35 split.
Stanley never thought he'd be a Rand millionaire that soon and remained loyal to the partnership as they were revamping their filling stations to cater for EVs as well. The six tanker trucks soon added two more to the fleet. Because of his selflessness, 49 year-old Matt gave the 16 years younger Stanley 7.5% free transferable shares in his family holdings company. After learning that from Stan's brother-in-law, Lynnette went on a surprise visit to him to formally apologize and offer him anything he may want of her including herself. Stanley told her to offer him her self-respect he knew her for and he'll see what to do for her.
Q_was the court's verdict fair on the matter to the aggrieved parties? Would you have sold that land if were Matt? Is 7.5% a token of appreciation or a bind? Is Lynnette's behavior out of pressure or an act of her true nature?
Rodran Blivindev, the Chikokta based chairman of BeLivInDev Group (BLID) as popularly known, is a well entrenched figure of fear and power in Russian corporate circles. He's a dirty corrupt wealthsmith who robs all of the companies he's invested in and put a reward out for successful leads, while same time putting a price on the head of whistleblowers to tie all loose ends.
BLID makes billions each year through its way of scheming. They invest in a business and within months rob it and claim their cover. His wife, Kitavni, a smooth operating crook, owns a private army company, AvniPubliGuard (APG), that had wings for private prosecutions, mass weaponry procurement, and a data bank. Kitavni had no friends and was ever at work if not with Rodran. The Blivindevs' had a big coded printery hub, Oditav Print, which did work for government and big corporations like banks. They made civilians' ID cards, bank cards, license cards and now smart birth cards that replace birth certificates for newborns.
Oditav did something remarkable when they came up with a UI Card or universal identification card. It was the only card that all will be issued with and be carried wherever they go and use for personal vital stats, access, identification, driving license, banking, credit, medical aid, academic info, tax info, transactions, and for each field applicable punching a PIN and a slash code for access.
The revolutionary intellicard had many in media spreading propaganda over. To quell that, two main spreaders where eliminated and snap lapses sent to others. A snap lapse is a one click message that once opened and read self erases, meaning it deletes itself before you can take any action, which still if can try saving it or screenshot it won't allow your device to. The snap lapses put brakes on the rumour mill instantly.
The intellicard came in after the initial shock of intellidote which was in the form of a pill or jab to put a chip in bloodstream of all civilians, but its horrid details where leaked before federal approval. The deal will turn them into trillionaires with an estimated RUB 1.38 trillion. Rodran and Kitavni had a bit of trouble in their pockets that seemed to be a potential future sting to their wallets, and as such had to be eliminated, and that was their advisor, Nikolai, who had been given a percentage in the project as an incentive. His 7.5% was just too much to part away with. They planted a bomb that was tied to the speedometer cable.
News of his mysteriously unfortunate accident left them with 97.5% to them in the contract. Then there was this journo who was probing circumstances around the death. They staged an interview for her with a bogus company and booked her flights and everything. On the day of the flight, her phone got stolen at the airport. She was assisted by police officers who took all details of where she's going. The interview was in France. Her ticket was rendered used and her boarded. Two days later her family was starting to make noise about her phone being off and her having had not called upon landing that side.
What happened to her was that since she was an hour earlier, she could go with the police to the cop shop just outside the airport to do a statement. Just outside there, a call came in saying the thief was caught. They drove her to the outskirts of the city where she was shot and put inside a cow carcass that was eviscerated and with an iron rod stitched back to hide her inside. None suspected a thing as she was registered as a visitor in Paris. The two officers were shot and killed the next day and buried in a shallow grave at their reserve plot while the foreign hired assassin was also shot dead by Rodran himself and fed to lions in a cage. A search party was on in France for the journalist and the other in Russia for the police officers. As for the foreigner nothing was ever said and heard again of him as he was not legal. It was a clean break operation.
He set aside his week to wrapping up other projects so he be fully hands-on on this new one. After a week indeed his desk was cleared. His team got down to its details, working long hours to come up with a never heard of feature for their client's new flagship model, the Torah 'Xzekta'. What the client did was do what they did to them 4 years back when they tasked them with designing a new shape for their dashboard for Torah 'Tripkah'. He knew they still expect such surprise result. Pressure was mounting.
After many blank canvas shoot downs, a groundbreaking idea came from him at 1:34 a.m one morning and he called his right-hand-man to work on it still hot off the mental press. He drove to him and together beat the thoughts out their heads until they had enough and satisfied with it at 5:37 a.m, and went home. At 10:30 he was clocking at work and ready to throw it at them. The entire team loved it and unanimously scrapped all ideas and focused on that as it sure was the one. It took them only 15 24/7s for concept finesse and they were on revert mode to the client. The boardroom was reserved same time for their presentation in the next coming 14 hours.
With excitement brimming to seams at Torah Automobili, Ya Boom team was having a different experience all together. They flew for 12 hours and drove for 30+ minutes. After setting up it was on. The importance of that presentation was evidenced by attendance of the group's Chairman (GC), Finn Vogt. Ronin and his right-hand man, In-sik Hwang briefly met with Torah's director of R&D before their stepping into the boardroom for the tone and touch theme advice in there. After shaking hands, clear he was confident of his turning up.
During the presentation it was all smiles and that pumped up his team. The mood was jovial throughout, the representatives of Torah loved it and gave them a go ahead for prototyping. Ya Boom came up with an earth shutter of a concept feature. The director of marketing told them instantly how he's already thinking of the angle for selling it. The Group Chairman even offered them an outing to show his approval. The team flew back with enthusiasm and raring for the prototype.
A month later, they were halfway through to the prototype. Ronin had a meeting with their COO about the progress thus far and the informationwas rallied to the client for update. 3 more weeks and they were done and ready to fly back to Torah head quarters for delivery and fitting into the 4 test cars. The component was compact for installation but then challenge lied in the communication of it with the entire system of the vehicle. The component uses a tab sensor system that runs atop the electronic system. It took 2 weeks to get a breakthrough. It finally communicated with the system and they tested with one car first and some teething problems emerged once twice, but in the end they got it right as it connected with everything.
It took a week more of rigorous testing and they installed the other 3 cars with it. One thing good was that they went into testing phase within the seventh month, and testing done for a month full to their satisfaction. Torah got the standards authority officials check it out and did 3 crash tests which came back positive and same. The hype was getting thicker by the day. The launch was then scheduled for a month earlier.
On the day of the launch, the first show car was driven in by the Finn Vogt himself, and that alone pointed out to the press and attendants how much he believed in the model. The Torah 'Xzekta' was lauded by everyone who came close to it in metal. It was told that the 'Xzekta' is the first and only vehicle on planet earth to have an OCB or Occurrence Collector Box. An OCB is an equivalent of a black box in the plane. In an instance of an accident the OCB will tell the real story of the actual happenings leading to the accident. It will lock the speedometer, switch the ignition and cut power from the battery terminals and any other power storage hub, and post the record straight to the on-board device for a fully detailed report and automatically send the shadow copy to 3 connected outbound system devices of the owner's choice, with a notification of the accident and its location at real time.
The OCB report will give everything from individual tyre pressures, occupants number and their weights per seat individually, seat belts info, luggage mass, last speed clocked, lights and indicator info, fuel left in tank during accident, anything that concerns the car including your driving mode and style plus any faults in the vehicle's system. The insurance industry cheered louder than everyone in that it gave them a technicality edge over claimants after accidents. It was a good thing that but bad for drivers as there'll be no lying anymore after accidents. The South Korean government was happy for the feature as it'll encourage responsible driving.
The OCB is a central nerve mate to the computer box. The device wasn't welcome by some who even called it a secret spy device but it didn't fly as it was proven time and again how it will be a guardian angel during road rage disputes and accidents. The traffic and police officials also gave it thumbs up. The media was abuzz with debates over the software and device with pre-sales orders but telling a different tale. In a week when it hit dealership floors sales and test drives were record breaking.
The GC of Torah as a token of appreciation, handed over a new Xzekta to the owner of Ya Boom with a word of advice for him to tie the shining twins before someone snatched them from him. Torah from then kept briefing Ya Boom Auto Concepts, and word got out about their good record. The climate of earnings felt ever warm for them to can complain of bad weather as outsourced creativity in the auto industry grew from a niche into a standalone industry on its own. The engine of the new auto sub-industry's leading company was Ronin and In-sik. Ya Boom's catalog was impressive by any standards.
3 years later after doing their homework, Torah invited Ronin and In-sik to their head quarters for a special proposition. The proposal was about them coming into their fold and run a subsidiary called X/Y Tech which will feed intelli-features exclusivelyto Torah Automobili and its new sports car sub-brand 'Vidan Sport' for 10 years in exchange for €300K per annum to Ronin and €200K to In-sik, and they signed same day. Ronin was gettin KRW 76,32 million per annum.
When the "awesome twosome" as they were called at Torah delivered the news in person to the CEO and owner of Ya Boom, his head spun in thought of the warning from Torah's boss himself and never paid attention to that and now it had come to eventuality. To close the room for any reasoning and negotiation, In-sik told him they had signed and will be serving notice. He sat down and gave them his blessings. After the door shut he hit a high brain rev and stroke came quick to accompany the feelings to his numb sunrise. He was found in his office trying to stand up but failing.
A span of 7 months fell and a proposal to the awesome twosome was received from Ya Boom for a merger of their startup with them but an alliance was agreed upon instead. Stress was that over 65% of their margin was generated by the office of the outgone CTD and the current one far off from matching the awesome twosome. Their emerald touch was highlighting the edges of Torah and Vidan Sport's green action thirst. Overall sales of the Torah Automobili Group were skyrocketing. The group was on 640K annually pre-entry of the awesome twosome and clocked 900K in 6 months.
Ya Boom on the other hand was quickly becoming a shadow of self, so, the awesome twosome struck a deal with them for projects that are important and that they won't be prioritized as their baby needs them more than they need Ya Boom. The other condition was that they won't be copying anything from TAG for creative process, as such everything will be new and different from what they will be working on. They shook firmly on that and soon the CEO of Ya Boom was feeling better.
With just one project it was suddenly interesting to hear from Ya Boom what's new on their cabinets. The company was in a huff back to life. To worsen the case, Ya Boom heeded to the awesome twosome's advice of leaking the yet to be released upcoming product just once and fanatic spirit will keep close tabs on them once again, and it worked as curiosity bug hovered over them. It was a pic of the awesome twosome with the CTD of Ya Boom, Ae-Ri Gyeon holding something like a steering wheel but not clear. It was back to busy as usual on Ya Boom's website and social media handles trended once amore.
It was followed more when a collaborated on product was released with a German auto manufacturing company of something totally different from the steering wheel pic circulated. A statement was released later that evening that the project was canned. Ae-Ri was learning but on the social front and on the technical front not as they were working at their premises less. It became clear to her that creative process an autosoliton pulse she lacks yet in tactus to her reach of access. She soon resigned still on a high after the success of their first collaboration. The awesome twosome were the kingpins of auto industries creative outsourcing space. She used that as reference in her other endeavors.
Q_can mi_ddwebb's song Dilong make you want it after hearing it once? Was Torah's conduct a good industry practice? Would you've resigned too if feeling pressure of greatness?
His name, Samfli Yendow, was stamped on everything that he worked on or touched. He was the master keyholder's hole into the world of any small life liver and the family they're rooted in. Samfli's nationality was always questioned but unanswered intentionally by him and his block. By profession he is a lawyer and holding also a diploma in journalism and a second year drop out in psychological science. He is a powerhouse himself.
Samfli married a varsity administration clerk, Vasni, and expecting their first child together as Vasni has one from her past relationship with a lecturer at the same university. He went into partnership with architects and builders and rebranded it Samfli Yendow & P F G Associates. The new age firm became the first to do construction, architecture, consult on construction affairs and hire out light plant.
The partners from PFG were awoken to the reality of how much they missed out on in terms of money making avenues. Thanks to Samfli they now are running a money making entity. They were now making money from advisory and after sales, hiring out excess equipment and selling plans for new developments, and also by compliance. Samfli once brought in a client for inquiry into consent before work being commenced at her site. She paid for consultation and consent form. They started giving out services to public as well. The pool was growing from time to time with this man,,,it was easily crazy to them.
Avni after giving birth decided to stop working at the varsity to come in to join the team as project administrator for their projects. Her inclusion made a huge difference as they started getting work for administration of others' jobs and also doing project reports gave them an upper hand. Samfli Yendow & P F G Associates quickly rose to the level of fighting for the same slices of the bread with big players and permanently banned their existence in the league of bread crumbs pickers.
Unlike the usual practice of having calls go to reception, their landing line is the sales dept so they sell you their services and refer you. The strategy worked wonders and in their second year the firm was turning in double the figures made in their first year together. Avni felt the love and appreciation here that she never knew at her previous job. She was so busy that she ended getting an assistant to relieve her. The staff of 5 quickly moved to 11 and soon they were in their Y3 together and with staff grown to 13.
It was a good feeling about the profiling they had thanks to Samfli's knowledge and connections. His 35% stake was gaining weight per quarter. In the fifth year their staff stood at 20 and their net turnover at 71 million per annum. In that year they extended their services to construction bookkeeping and but it didn't draw in much revenue. Seeing that their additional service didn't do much, Samfli suggested they introduce advancement on building materials at 10% atop and it boosted their job roll and sales. Their model was now copied by the top tier leaders to render them as the new leader in construction by trend. They kept the lead role for a long time.
Q_which service could you suggest for an industry leader such as this? At their pace what wrong could slow them down? Why did Avni quit her job at the university?
Coyy had a revamped container design and was sold in translucent plastic with its fragrance bottle transparent. His range came in 7ml, 25ml, 50ml, 75ml, 100ml, 200ml and 250ml (dubbed 'couples size') which meant it was for couples to share. He sold unisex blends and his entry price point was € 85.00 and topping scales at € 695.00. His second release was "Dirge-ale" and it took a lot to sell as the public felt its name was dark and its scent offish. After that he came up with many products that sold well but for him to give up on Dirge-ale wasn't an option.
He approached the association of funeral parlors and sold them the idea of them adopting a uniform scent for coffins. Where's a coffin there's going to be that sweet scent. The association bought the idea and had Coyy make special bottles for the industrial market. He made them 700ml and the cost was passed to clients who opted for top packages. Soon it became a hit and had to produce a scent for lower end market called "Goth-like" as it became standard for a coffin to have a sweet smell. The whole of Europe led the revolution and during Covid-19 first wave Coyy Perfumes ran out of stock and but during the second wave they produced enough and piled stock in anticipation of demand for the third wave. Coy had to triple his staff and warehousing to meet that demand.
The following day it became vivid to her that their relationship wasn't healthy and she dumped him. When demanding reasons for the breakup she told him it's for her future outlook, he didn't fit in her new dream. He then asked if James had a space in that future and she said as an employee yes he was. The tall light skinned one was riled. He proposed they iron it out the follow day.
When he got to her home found out he was late as she had left for the central region to go join the workers there. Seeing that he had no money on him, he went back home and borrowed his father's bicycle and rode to there for the better half of his day and got there by 19:45ish. He heard her say it's a job for fitting cabinets and doors for a new government complex in Lilongwe. He asked around until he got the direction right at some intersection filling station. At exactly 20:23 he arrived at the site and got mad to not find them there. He asked for their whereabouts from the security personnel but drew nil out of them as they weren't permitted to give off any information without authority.
He was forced to wait but was told he couldn't do it there and to go elsewhere like a police station for safety, and was directed there. He got there and told them his story and was given a cell to sleep in and something to eat. One officer asked him why follow them if not her, and what his intention was as he sensed a bad feeling about the whole story. The following morning he was up early and went back. Getting there he didn't find them and waited there but no show up. He started doubting he was at the right place and rode around asking if there's another new building except that. He went to all other sites in that part of the city in early afternoon when his mind set him back to that first site. He was angered as he got lost going back. At the end he was back on track and arrived.
To signal to him that they were there he saw by the giggles from the security personnel. They didn't allow him in and called James instead of Macy. Upon seeing him his blood boiled and told him he doesn't want anything to do with a cheater and wanted to see his future wife not him. James with due respect apologized and went to call Macy who got angry seeing him. She began by asking what was he doing there while him demanded to know why they were hiding from him since morning if not from yesterday? Security personnel got to intervene and asked for him to leave or face their forceful action of removal from site. He shouted for lunch money but his request fell on deaf ears.
Inside, she narrated to James what went on. The last thing was when she heard him and asked he repeat himself on and that was that he wasn't having a relationship with Rose but that they were cousins. Startling to her, she told him how she wasn't sure of how to break it to him but he interjected by saying "I know and I love you too" and held hands after a hug dry of a kiss, saved for later when off from work. She also asked if it would make sense to work as business partners moving forward? He said it was long time coming.
They went back to work and forgot about the obsessed psycho waiting outside. On knocking off their taxi came and took them to the hotel. They weren't aware he was following them. He could tail them thanks to high traffic volume at that hour. Macy was so happy and feeling she had wasted her time but time wasn't right maybe. She pinched herself over and over. Just on arrival at the hotel he got in and jumped on her. With a jab the new recruit who was a boxer knocked him down.
Unawares, the hotel staff out of ignorance gave Kalushi a chance to run after James and with a pair of scissors stabbed him twice from the back. He bled profusely internally and by the time help arrived was late. He died on the scene. Hearing her cry after told they lost him, Kalushi ran out and forgot his father's bicycle and relied on his feet to take him where nobody will find him. He was later arrested and charged with murder at the very police station he slept at the previous night.
The police officer that spoke with him came in to talk to him after calming down and shivering. He listened to the events of his day's version leading up to the end with him getting arrested. He put it to him the true happenings that left him full of regret and shame. He got to learn that they came in late on that day because the tiling job was finished late and to have them come in at 13:00 to check if they have dried and fit doors. Again, it was a shame to him to know and be informed that the security footage is there to refute his claims about James cheating with his wife as they were sleeping in different sections of the hotel and that the hotel was booked for them by the government as opposed to his claim of Macy having done that so they could have a nice time.
Kalushi asked for forgiveness and blamed Macy for the breakup that now had led him to where he found himself shackled for murder. On hearing from Macy the sad news, Alice felt guilty and apologized. They both knew that he at least died happy and in love though was for some hours. On his court appearance he pleaded guilty and never wanted to be represented by a lawyer so it be a quick process. His father wanted nothing to do with him whilst his mother never wanted to speak to him in court. He regretted.
Macy kept the business running and to avoid going under again, sought help from an accounting firm and had a virtual bookkeeper for her business. She hired James's mother to be their cleaner at their newly opened office. She did fine until she too collapsed and died on the scene four years later. Alice took over and continued with the business but never grew it as focus was on her agency before the carpentry one. Kalushi's father died later on and on her visit to inform him, his mother couldn't recognize him as he was disfigured. His teeth were all gone and one ear torn from results of constant inside fights he had with fellow inmates. Her mother didn't take long after her husband and too followed. His siblings buried her without his knowledge and went on with their lives as if he was non-existent.
Q_was Alice wrong to advice her younger sister like that? What actually made Kalushi hate James? What may be the cause of Macy's death?
Saah was a very proud woman. She was lucky to have met a very tolerant rich man who ended up marrying her, with the hope that through marriage she'll be a better person but not. His love for her made him an outcast in his family. Saah didn't care less about her husband's sad battle with him for choosing her over them.
Saah's husband, Zayn De Bona, was a mall manager and a preacher at their church. One day Saah came home with a boy called Teri and told her husband how he needed assistance and a shelter, and that she thought of him staying with them if it's not a problem. Zayn asked why him as there're others who do need such help like him, and she said the boy's sob story is similar to the one about her friend, and Zayn accepted him.
Saah had a business and she suggested to Zayn how about Teri be their assistant in their home and her business to pay back for the help he received. Zayn loved that idea and they put him on probation, of which in just three weeks was like a glove to a hand in their lives. Zayn started being hard on him and then realized he was respectful and humble. He was so proud of him that he even gave him his heart. Teri was twenty, and very slim framed, with a beautiful smile that complemented his young flowy face. He was so reliable and trustworthy.
As the adopted son now, Zayn taught him to even drive, so he can take his younger brother and sister to school, shopping and at times drive him to work and church. Then one day their church cleaner came in because of seeing Saah's car parked outside. She knocked but there was no answer and she decided to go knock in the back door. Passing by the bedrooms, she heard funny noises and checked what was wrong, only to peep on Saah and Teri in bed together through the small opening on the curtain. She took out her phone and recorded the portion of their act and went back.
The following day she went to their household again and as usual held a prayer session together. They're used to holding hands when praying, and on that day the church cleaner chose to hold both Zayn and Teri by being in between them, and Saah became angry and started fighting her behind to get her not to hold Zayn's hand. Zayn suspected their animosity but got no answer when asking both aside. The church cleaner a few days later confronted Saah and battle lines were officially drawn.
In the morning the church cleaner came by to find Teri reversing Zayn's car to ready it for him on his way out to work, and had a small chat with him. Saah saw her through the window and went out to attack her, telling her how ashamed she should be for trying to abuse and pollute the mind of a young innocent worshiper. With guilty eyes, Teri quickly got out of the car and went straight into the house to hand Zayn his car keys, and into his room. He wasn't comfortable anymore. Outside, as Saah was also on her way out, promised to come back to deal with the church cleaner after work, and got into her car and drove off. Out of spite, the church cleaner went into the house and asked for a minute from Zayn and showed him the footage, of which he froze and fell. His laptop bag dropped and broke the glass table in their sitting room. He was taken to the hospital and spent five weeks there.
Out of hospital, the first thing he did was file for divorce. With shame she had no nerve to contest it and they went separate ways. But, because of children, they kept contact. The divorce lasted nine years until they got back again for the sake of their children to try and start over again, though was hard for him to be fully in as he still had flashbacks of their first failed attempt. Reason for that being that they separated without a sorry ever uttered by her except Teri who did so after being told what transpired, and into the thin air he was, a history wished away by the hurt man who put his whole in it. He too was hurt by what they did to Zayn but was late and no circumstances were in favor of such sentiments.
Saah was reminded that the house she sheltered under belongs to Zayn and as such she'll have to pack and leave that very minute and she said she's going to her new home that's triple the size of his boxy shack in Malibu. And again, the big car she's driving was deposited by her and the instalments paid for by him and as such should settle that too before she drove off. She took her phone and asked how much and she transferred it same time. She stormed out without her children as they by then wanted nothing to do with her.
One week exactly passed, and she was full of regret as the love of her life wasn't really into her but her assets, and had dumped her after it emerged that the alleged cousin was found to be a toy twink of hers who happened to have coughed out a bucket full of sins on what transpired on the day of the divorce set down. The man got to know about how her business is bleeding from her profits burn and how she survived through alimony all along and now on her own, so, he didn't want a burden into his fruitful life. Saah was frustrated and had to sell a large portion of her business and some group of investors bought it and within two months wanted her fully out as she added no value at all, and she took the money. She invested it in a small hair care products manufacturing and distributing company.
She bought a two roomed flat and stayed there with a much younger blood and a very small car that strikingly reminded her of the day she asked her sister and mother how they were breathing inside a moving coffin with her three kids in there, but despite all that she was happy to be sad away from the eyes of those she knew in LA. She got by but life was different and tiring with her constant fights for her young bear with milfs baying for his youngling blood. She lived in regret while on the flip side things were up for Zayn and the children.
Q_if were in Zayn's shoes, would you have gone back with Saah after that betrayal? Do you think Saah will dare to go back to Zayn in future? Has Saah ever loved Zayn? What was she not getting in Zayn?
The same night a man with a gun visited the given address in Don Bosco. Not knowing Zjarrta was on a bait, the man knocked and heard no answer from inside. He then broke the window next to the door and forced in. It was once he was in that he got a nasty surprise. The man was ushered into the arms of the law officers and same time confessed to being an illegal immigrant who's been hired by madam to take care of her problem. Immediately he was taken to the police station to make a statement and be formally arrested and charged. They made him call Zjarrta to tell her the job was done and when will the balance be paid, of which she unknowingly confessed in a recorded call that tomorrow morning she will effect it.
Twelve minutes later she was answering a door knock to her arrest. She tried calling her lawyer but said to her not to cause any drama and go with them as he will follow soon to Drejtoria e Policise. Once there, there was nothing he could've done for her except help her with a statement. She was detained. The time news broke of her arrest and detention, headliner was new info that surfaced about records of social media chats in Fisnik's phone revealing deception via leaks anonymously. It was brought to light that Zjarrta was cheating on her late husband with the husband's late cousin, Fisnik, who was the owner of a well known security company.
Also, adding to the damage was a text from Zjarrta to Fisnik telling him to write an SMS in his cousin's phone asking for forgiveness for laying a hand on her so she could siphon something out of him as he had a problem of forgetfulness. It emerged that she used to do such with her friends on him. Fake accusations were always levelled against him but because of love for her never said anything to anyone with the hope that she'll change albeit for the worst.
Her case, was high profile and she was convicted. She got into the hole for life. With none left to continue, saban's family took over the business of design and but failed at rescuing it as in five months they gave in to their failure. The business was bought by a foreign national for its fraction and rebranded it 'Guy n Design'. Zjarrta's mother thought her matured dermal layers of booty will appeal to the parole board. Dhiar seduced those men and had them have their way around her seasoned curvedonias, but didn't come back with anything out until she accepted her daughter lost. Because of pressure inside, Zjarrta was allegedly reported as having had committed suicide.
Guy n Design failed to grow as per projected forecasts, and on the fourth year was sold to an affluent family and struggled to scale up but held on to its position. If only Saban were still alive, the growth plan could've been drawn. The business is to date as just one of the many design outlets to go to in Tirana.
Q_can wearing two ties at once be a cool fashion statement? Who took the phone at the crime scene? Before Guys n Design, which name would you've given it to that business?
The next morning, the grumbling hypercar came again to collect his wife. He jumped out of bed and luckily Onika was a bit late and got a chance to chat up the driver, and discovered he's the test driver for all their cars. He gave him a business card. Onika came and they were off to approval for its suitability for the European market.
In the coming days Titus called the firm for an appointment, and they met. They had no plans to hire another person as there been no opening, so he asked to volunteer. Qwerky is a smart yet small car and speedboat manufacturer that produces sports cars and quirky speedboats. They have 4 models in their catalog namely A-Shape, B-Shape, C-Shape and D-shape (a hyper lorrytruck that is a 7 seater convertible with a hardtop), and for the boat side only one model, the Q Glide (with regular base or long base). Titus was welcome though the HR Manager said he won't be of use to them but can see what he can do to make self useful.
Titus spent his first day taking observing and spotting his slots. From the second day he was on helping with this and that, and the staff over the days warmed up to his usefulness. On the day of celebrating the new B-Shape launching, told media and colleagues the history of the car and the Qwerky brand. He is a true aficionado. It went on for four months and his sick mother-in-law who needed someone to care for her came to stay with them. As a result, he asked at work to stop so he could take care of her. The HR Manager said: "it's fine, you won't be sorely missed. Bye" and both laughed.
Within the first week the HR Manager's office was busy fielding staff questions about where he went and why they let him go, because he helped a great deal. The HR Manager didn't follow-up on their concerns until Production Manager tabled his report in the preceding quarter about low productivity since Titus went away, and the curve also showed that he brought with improved productivity. The two managers met with others to find out what they were missing about Titus' role and the HR Manager interviewed TEAM leaders to find out what is now wrong.
One thing they all pointed out was that Titus ran the whole floor from reception to dyno to despatch relieving those pressed and introduced water to stations touch, always asked how one is doing every other time he came to each's post or station. Only Titus knew how many sugars each pour into their tea or coffee, when to bring one medication, all about their family situations and solutions; every little thing he did, saved them time, kept spirits up and knew everyone by name, something the management didn't display. He cared. He was a friend they never had in the workplace, hence the low morale after he left without a word.
Without hesitation, the company's management contacted him to come back and found that he's still taking care of his mother-in-law. They arranged for him to have a maid at the cost to company and he was back as an employee this time with a title. He signed in as the Employee and Production Support Manager. To management's surprise, all service providers and guests applauded the company's move. The morale was back to where he left it and gradually increased as he now had authority. He was literally the care giver of the company.
The public loved and praised him for the angle he put his piece. He wrote questioning him why quit while a his vice-chancellor he could've supported him in any area of difficulty like he did with the outgone chancellor. Said also that he could've at least opted for the position he was in of vice-chancellor with him as the chancellor. The best part in that article was where he mentioned that he's blaming himself for having failed to restrain self from doing his best at his work as it became a hindrance to his dear friend and former learnered colleague. The public went bonkers about it and spirited his popularity. When approached for interviews, he declined, citing he doesn't want to be defaming his former colleague as he knew he was called for that, and that sent a good message to the public. Robert was good.
His article made Eckson hate self and left him more bitter. There was nothing he could do, he got no influence in the publishing world. To date, Eckson remains the best none wanted to know more about even though he was the most decorated lecturer to ever grace any auditorium in any university in the whole of America. He died sad with many regrets that his wife was tired of hearing about.
On the day of Eckson's memorial, Robert wasn't invited to speak, and but was the former chancellor. When asked why he wasn't invited to speak, said he chose not to avail himself. He angered the late's wife but couldn't do anything about it. She started understanding what her husband was saying all along.
Q_what wrong did Prof. Curtis do to end up dying sad and bitter? Was Eckson right in giving in to Prof. Yates?
Getting out, they headed straight to the cop shop to press charges against her. It later emerged from her husband's confession that she never liked Rita and was in fact helping Sikano as he was the one who really deserved her help. On the fund, it further emerged that it was not the first one she did, she does that to maintain their lifestyle. Pity the husband was never a part as he knew his wife as a partner in the fund that helps distressed people rebuild their lives. They forgave her as she indeed helped rebuild their lives though did it wrong but were still thankful. They decided to make a U-turn on pressing charges against her.
Rita was pained that her friend was her enemy. It was reported that the whole donation figure was S/2 436 million whilst their house cost S/1 017million to rebuild. When permitted to be alone with her in the dock, her friend told her that she stole Sikano from her as she fell for him and he kept ignoring her from high school. It was a shock to hear since Sikano never even mentioned her.
At home she asked Sikano about it, only to realize truly that he wasn't even seeing anything from her. He remembered her after she narrated everything, and started remembering her. It was pleasingly assuring to her that she stood no chance at all with her man. They were awarded the money left over from the donated money and thanked everyone who helped, especially the hardware that sold material at cost price and the contractor who charged only for his equipment less the labour cost.
Q_would you forgive a friend who tried to shoot you dead? What is your ideal honeymoon destination? How can you hold a fundraiser accountable for the donations made into the set up fund account?
Hanaji introduced new ways of making money into the business and gradually their bottom line improved and she was given a bigger responsibility title but never told her husband about it at first until she was a month into her new title. As a tv presenter, Riskos used to interview a lot of businesspersons whom some of were from showbiz and sportsbiz, and as a known face took advantage of that. His wife knew nothing about business either, hence her push for her husband to pursue the path. They thought his intel from those interviews was a sure bet. He used to think that fame is the core ingredient of success until reality showed him otherwise.
Hanaji came to Poland on a contract as a project administrator for the government tender to build four commissioned 5 green-star government structures. The structures were a court, a public hospital, a ministerial office complex and a police barracks with a connecting bridge to the main road next to the cop shop. It was a big contract that saw her based in Poland for 5 years.
Hanaji met with Riskos during an interview with the project manager and a couple of times later as he came to sites to report on progress made. They became close and Hanaji fell for him. She made him aware of her availability and Riskos took her up on that offer and two years later they were husband and wife.
Riskos had a bit of his own challenge going on that was troublesome to him about his take home compared to his wife's. Hanaji earned 2.4 times than he did, especially in that the money she sends home monthly make up 73% of his salary. To her it was not an issue as what mattered to her was the love between him and her, all else aside, but to him a big deal.
Seeing that he had self-esteem, she encouraged him to start his own business and be able to support his family. It grew into him to the extent of him resigning and going into business. A year and a half after, he was dry. He was up to his neck with bills and costly demands from his wife. What was laughable though, was the fact that Hanaji got a promotion and was then at 4 times the salary he made as a tv presenter, and now worse as he overpaid himself to close the gap, but got him out of the game entirely.
Down and out, she bought him a ddwebb sports car. He couldn't afford the car and but she did and she bought it for him. Riskos was bitter and feeling less of a man sitting at home doing nothing all day while Hanaji was working. As such, he didn't take the car, a move that had significant consequences for their marriage. Hanaji was now bitter too, for she bought him something expensive so it could cheer him but turned otherwise. She was sad.
The whole setup was affected and they were no longer the envy of town. Hanaji got him a job at some friend's company but he didn't take it as it was organized by her, said he wanted something that comes on merit. Day by day he became impossible for her to deal with. One day she overheard a telecon between Riskos and his former boss, and she decided to go visit her and talk woman to woman with her. The following day the former boss called him about an opportunity for him on temporary basis, and he quickly took it.
On the other hand, to save their marriage, Hanaji bought a stake in some big steel manufacturing company in Morocco and resigned. She opted for being a stay at home mom to boost Riskos' esteem as the breadwinner and it worked as he even started driving the ddwebb sports car to work. In her sabbatical, she learned about business. In seven months she bought a stake in a small construction company so she earned lesser than Riskos as by then was just given a permanent position as a content advisor.
Due to his long stay in hospital he's now out of means to afford his medicare. He asks for a loan from Jean as he had exhausted his medical aid, personal savings, company loan and car sold. Not knowing how much he may need, Jean contacted his wife to find that out. She told him to put forth at least BYN 342 000 for the time being, of which Jean had only BYN 161 000 at his disposal. Wanting a clarity from the doctor, Jean went to the hospital to hear from Cedric's doctor how long it'll take and the chance astute of him making it.
Cedric introduced him to his patient doctor who explained to him that Cedric is diagnosed with a very rare condition that is a dangerous yellowish-red blood turning virus which to date had attacked 29 patients since its discovery in 1983, and the danger of it not being treated fully can infect the brain and cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) which is from a brain-eating amoeba called Naegleria fowleri. Of the 29 only 14 had successfully survived it by undergoing a Repulsion Treatment. The RT medication comes in the form of two pills namely Contradolicon and Vitonomorphine (VM). The only trouble is the cost of the medication of which Contradolicon costs BYN 11.7 000 a pill and VM at BYN 3 000 a pill, and should both be taken 3 times a day, while there's an RT injection that needs to be administered twice a day every other four days at BYN 6 000 a shot, called the Quadripia Pritura-ject.
As per their observation and condition of their patient, it may take up to 22 days minimum for his partner to fully recover. With all those exorbitant fees plus BYN 1.800 a day for his bed, with drips and meals charged aside, the doctor said there's an RT flush droplet that will be administered daily once before sleep for seven days after discharge to boost immunity and restoration of his bloodstream system at a flippingly staggering BYN 9 940.00 a day.
Reeling with shock, Jean went to the admin desk for payment arrangement and failed to get the hospital to start with the treatment immediately as it'll need a deposit of BYN 300 000 to get the treatment rolling. Also was that the hospital will require settlement of balance within 3 months after deposit. Knowing he won't manage to secure the much needed deposit, Jean called Esther to come to the aid of their business partner as she's capable financially. In spite of them not seeing eye to eye, Esther pledged to pay the whole amount at once and add BYN 65 000 to cover future expenses, of which Cedric rejected citing that he hates Esther for her unGodly lifestyle she leads as a lesbian.
As if it was nothing, Esther went to the hospital to visit him before settling the bill and have Cedric sign the debt liability papers. Cedric's behavior shocked everyone when he said he's rejecting her offer and that he'd rather get a loan from God than from a tainted agent of Sodom and Gomorrah, and that his God will see him through. After a brief pause, Jean asked: "what now?"and Cedric continued by saying "why would he let Esther help him while she's got her roving eye on his wife? Why would God allow for a sinner to afford his life? His soul is not for sale."
Looking him straight into his eyes Esther burst with laughter and said she'll be thankful to have the dying partner's wife all to herself without competing with him as he's about to die hopeless, helpless and penniless. Said she'll keep the money to bury him so she could comfort his wife and secure her, and also take good care of her plus their two lovely daughters. Said she'll have countless tribadal experiments with her and at times with them all. Teary and fists clenched, said he'd rather die clean with his bible rested on his chest, with no dirty money painted his name.
With uncontrollable anger he slipped into a seizure. It was suspected it might occur if he takes longer to start RT treatment as it will definitely turn to comatose. With such a situation on their hands Jean called Cedric's wife to come sign the papers. His wife out of knowing how her husband feels about Esther, asked what had transpired and after gathering all facts too rejected the offer because of respect for her husband, affirming that she won't defy him and their belief.
Q_with payment ready would you block your spouse's treatment because of religion? If are in the position Jean finds himself in, would you pay part of the bill with your last?
Q_how would've you handled HeBlu's rapid growth? At what point do you think they got it wrong? Was selling the business the best idea? What could you've done better than them?
Norloth Seleme was at a Bishop Pastor's home, whom is a friend, when he got an invite to join them on a special trip to Mundatzana in Mozambique. The invite was presented by the Bishop's wife, MaMaduna after hearing that he admire their lifestyle, possessions and fellowship numbers. The Bishop, Phunyuka "Demystified Angel" Maduna, at first was against the idea knowing that he's not their member as yet and also not a church person but just a businessman who comes to him from time to time at church for prayers to turn his fortunes around, and today at his home for a recruitment dinner. As such, currently him being a part of the trip wouldn't befit the help he sought.
Seeing that Norloth was keen on embarking on the trip with them, DA, as he's popularly known as, ended up giving in though still with reservations. After the dinner, MaMaduna informed Norloth to come to the house again twice for two prep sessions before they go there. Not knowing that the maid overheard their conversation, Norloth said his goodbyes and got out. Two steps out, he hears a soft whistling before opening his car's door. Turning to the direction of the whistling, found that it's Morongwa, the maid. With no word quickly gave him a piece of a cloth. Trying to ask, she said: "just wanted to hand you this anointed handkerchief." Norloth thanked her, got into the car and drove off.
3 days later a call from an anonymous number rang and upon answering it he was asked if he's read the message on the handkerchief? Trying to play his usual mind games, the anonymous caller said that he should read it as she knows he didn't seeing that he was 2 hours away from his first session with MaMaduna. The caller dropped before he could say anything further.
Realizing he was at work and the car he drove to the Maduna's not the one he was driving that day, understood that the message was in the garage at home in the car. He drove home in a huff only to find that the car was taken to a nearby car wash by his wife's younger brother. To make matters worse, the car wash he took it to is is not his favorite as it's where drug users hang out and most of them were in the habit of stealing items from people's cars.
Getting there, he found the car was still being vacuumed, and asked to check for that handkerchief. Not finding it, got told that his brother-in-law gave it to some nameless junkie who loved it. Disappointed and with time no longer on his side, chose to go home to change from his formal wear to casual and head there. During the session he got told about acquisition of his miracle powers and the sacrifices that goes with those attainable powers sans revealing more details. He was told he'll go there alone. Out of worry and regret that he had already told his wife about it, got a long stroke of palm against his lips and told she won't remember anything he said about the trip. Before he knew it, the session was over.
Two days after he was to go for another session again before the trip and he went. The second session was a bit intense and shaking. He was given instructions for obedience of the oracle and Mandoro (the spark of the oracle). He was soaked and bathed in some fish smelling water in the dark, drank some mermaid urine and oil tasting liquid, made to swallow a stomach turning pill called the Lion's brain, and lastly given four brand new outfits to wear for the trip.
Day came and they boarded the plane and flew together. Once there, taken by different cars to Mundatzana, a very small village in deep rural Swengcwiwo plantation in Gaza, the patch of Mozambiquan land that doesn't appear on the map and navigation system. The sad part was that he never spent even a minute with them there for the whole 4 days of his stay. Worse was the language spoken not understandable and but miraculously a voice (Songwani) out of nowhere translated every word to him. At night he was not allowed to wear anything when he sleeps. Every morning when he woke up, felt slimy and tired.
On the 4th day he was instructed to go into the jungle and stroll naked. All of a sudden he was joined by a squad of 8 striking naked belles. To his awe, he was there with them yet his eyes failed him to see what he desired to, and also was his prime section failed to pitch a tent. Going out of the forest, he noticed that he was by then left with 6 belles as they met villagers who surprisingly seemed to not even once cared looking at their prime sections as if they weren't undressed. Arriving at the hut and stepping in, boom,,,he was by some magic now fully dressed with the last outfit while all those he worn gone, and so were the belles disappeared.
With none to question and none to answer, the Songwani directed him to the oracle to go collect his gifts. Getting there he found a very heavy bag that he was instructed to take it and throw away, and to not go back home with as it's been the burden of his whole adult life. And unlike the way they travelled to there, Norloth was instructed to step into an illuminated spot where he saw a circling wind and bang,,he was back home where he didn't even know.
Hearing no noises or any sound of anything, he started going through rooms in that strange house and discovered he was alone. Still puzzled, a call came through and though didn't know who's phone it was, answered and learned it was MaMaduna congratulating him on his newly found status and that he'll from then on be called "the money minter" as it pleases the Roumatina Kwe Merkabah. She further told him to fetch his power pack at the ground floor of his new home. Told in there is his power contract and should be signed so he'll be fully out and be visible to world people. To his frustration was hearing that he'll have to choose where he'll want his new 4 storey mansion be placed together with his new family and businesses. The call ended with MaMaduna wishing him luck.
Everything was now changed. In his power pack he found pictures of his fleet to choose only best 8 of, from double cab bakkies to sedans to SUVs and hypercars. His life has suddenly turned out to be perfect yet imperfect sans his old family. Startled still about the new family, the Songwani came and said to him that his old family was sacrificed for everything he's now having and that they were in the heavy bag he threw away. The new family was part of the gifts he collected from Mandoro when he transformed, and that they won't bother him ever as they were wiped.
Songwani informed him that 8 is his power number. It came from the bank balance as he had only ZAR 8 000.00 in his account on the day of the trip and that he was now ZAR 8 billion wealthier. Further known to him was the fact that 8 was his mark that is written allover his body, and that he had 8 powerful companies worth a billion Rand each, 8 business accounts, 8 everything he had. Lastly, was commanded to each day eat 8 meals to feed the power source within as he is now on no longer alone in him.
He was told to undress and sign his power contract so he could take his mark officially. Out of curiosity he asked what'll happen if he rejects the offer. Songwani calmly whispered to him that:"if you don't sign, you'll be back to where you were with nothing but just dead hope and no family. Nothing good will happen for you ever should you forego the offer by Mandoro. Try him forrr your self."
What was displeasing to Norloth was suddenly seeing his mark put on his prime section as a sign of warning by Mandoro. A core stress issue was that his holy wife had an 8 shaped key to his body and that no other woman shall share him with her and also that none should see his nakedness as that will see him lose his power to the one who saw it.
Still excited about the money, the waiter came to thank him for the generous tip. He said it's fine, and choked when told the tip was £1000.00. The waiter kissed her business card and the ex asked to see it. He almost fainted seeing it written CEO of RPC in gold engravings on a rubberized material. Just by that business card, he understood he's way below her level. He reminisced about how they used to dream together and she used to call herself Mrs CEO, and here it is today, it came to fruition.
Q_how does it feel seeing your ex struggling? Would you upgrade your spouse for your dream? Where is Eritrea?
Blank,,,a serene spot synonymous with Hollywood deal makers. Sally Oettl came with a very different approach to selling space. She created a spot where people can meet for rendezvous, or interviews, or for any particular reason in peace and quiet. With Blank she hit the market right with none in competition to her.
Blank is situated right in bustling downtown Los Angeles and but once inside a world apart. She has constructed it with triple layers of sound deadening material. It's so peaceful and quiet in there and that's what she's in business for, selling space for people to meet at within the city centre without noise and disturbance. At face value it isn't expensive, $12,50c per fifteen minutes. No refreshments or water or anything, just space and WiFi connection that's all. For a lot of deal makers it's ideal as they get enclosed in a cubicle and do their business discreetly.
Sally is a smart woman who intimidates most average men as they can't keep up with her witted nature. A lot don't understand that she's a business woman and as such she's wired differently, while she's also independent and self-sufficient in her own right. The other business she runs is a night club that she doesn't operate but rents out in rotation of days. She owns the shell and license, and all fixtures inside and outside are by competing breweries. If you rent to host for the night, it means you have to make sure you sell. Because of her exposure to celebrity bosses, her club was used as a set for music videos and movies, and currently shooting a talk show in it. Her club is a tourist attraction that she cashes in on via her club vlog.
Thanking her only daughter and child, Kim, for making her vision real, she bought her a superbike she always nagged her for. A month after she was involved in a collision and died. Because of the nature of their business, celebrities and some Hollywood executives attended the funeral. Just that was enough for some gossip mongers not having a clue of what they do for a living, a rumour mill paddled news that she is one of the Illuminati and that she used her daughter as sacrifice to syphon money from celebrities.
Thing is, Kim knew her mom is a very private and reserved person who doesn't want the spotlight, so she told people she's working for someone so she could shield her. Sally asked Raul, Kim's boyfriend to continue running the businesses as he did with Kim. Due to his frequenting Sally's residence, rumours spread that the pair killed her so they could be together. To make it worse was a visit by the police to ask her questions pertaining to her closeness with Raul. That put a strain on their business relationship and mutually decided to end the arrangement.
Sally hired a celebrity manager and that made more wonders for her business. The new manager, Ziffen, commissioned an ad shooting at the club for a big wrestling star, "DaRespirator" and bookings for the club hosting more than doubled. The rumours weren't dying down though as doubt got renewed when Sally's sister got involved in a tragic hiking trail accident and died. To them, it was Sally using them as sacrifices for her to again syphon more money from celebrities.
Some few months later, Sally became closer to her late sister's husband, Darryl Heidegger. It became clear to everyone in the family on the day they were celebrating her posthumous birthday that the two are close. The family had no problem with it and in a year's time they tied the knot in a low key event. Her business profile was revealed as her stepchildren wanted everyone to know about their family life, something that Sally just tolerated. That helped as now people knew she's been running a business and not taking money from celebrities using rituals and sacrifices.
Q_why was Sally quiet all along even with such allegations against her? What's your understanding about rituals and sacrifices? Did Sally kill her sister for her husband?
Dakhone Yarun is a food designer and technologist. He went to McGill University in Canada. He is popularly known as Dakh 1. He is extremely handsome and but failing to catch what he wish for because he's by nature so quiet that he even prefer using sign language to communicate than say anything.
Dakhone had a younger sister, Rahina, whom was very very close to and loved with all of his heart. She committed suicide after suffering all kinds of gender based abuse and violence against her by their stepfather. What drove her to that decision was the fact that their mother was not supporting her throughout the whole ordeal and when she voiced it out her mother would tell those concerned that Rahina and her brother were blackmailing them, then none continued lending them their ear.
Everything became clear on the day she died and the stepfather beat the hell out of their mother for advising her bustard to kill herself whilst knowing fully well they won't afford her burial. She couldn't bury her as she was still in hospital. Dakhone by then was quiet and watching as everything unfolded in front of him. The burial day was then he vowed to keep quiet as a remedy for his pain.
The man used to beat him with anything at his disposal when trying to side with Rahina. One day he strangled him until he soiled himself and helped by Rahina through offering herself to him and then he stopped, concentrated on her and was that the last day he saw her alive. Since then, Dakhone channeled his energy and pain to drawing and spending most of his time in the kitchen trying to role in her sister's place.
After high school, a social worker by the name of Clara assisted him and found a scholarship program that Dakhone got slotted in, in Canada. He studied Food Design and Technology. During his schooling, in the last year of their course, they had to do a business plan of the business they'd like to have once graduated. His was the second best that year, and the seventeenth best in 41 years.
Going back home he got a job in a candy making factory but didn't stay long. He had another at a supermarket but quit and stayed home at Clara's. He kept applying until he got a job of his dreams exactly two years in search. During his interview he told them about his business plan from school, and they took him on the spot. The company, Ladila Foods, is a big Italian based factory for processed foods, based in Port-au-Prince. Ladila Foods loved his business plan and bought it from him through a deal that gave him a position as a participant on the projects team. He was just a step above the line management team, responsible for guidance and projects planning.
This meant he had to grow up fast and he did. What his employers didn't know about him was that he is a dancehall music fan and also its aspirant singer. His Dark1 nickname is actually for his dark complexion and is a pseudonym in the circles. This started in high school but subsided because of his pain as love for food took over. Now that he was there on the food side, his music love knocked back and he opened its doors.
He started attending dancehall clubs and started collecting music again. While doing that, he went back to writing. He bought studio equipment and set up a home studio. In no time he released an EP that got the club scene crazied called Tinkaria. It's vibe had Italian influence vibe to it and one colleague leaked it to the management and they loved it. Soon Dark1 was the face of Ladila Foods, and his beat used in all ads internationally.
In no time the words "Ladila Ladila tinkaria" were allover the internet. His mother, who drifted apart from him was regretting her actions of past and ran away from her love nest with the cruel stepfather. It was a rainy day when she sat on the doorstep of the plush block of flats where Dakhone resided. She braved the cold weather and waited till he arrived to a nasty surprise. She asked for forgiveness and both went in.
Nineteen months later she died a sad woman. Two weeks before her death, she was telling everyone that Clara came to see her and said that she won't find her son as she's got him all to herself, and that Clara made tea for her that she never wanted to drink herself but she did though tasted funny. This allegations grew stronger after the postmortem report confirmed food poisoning. It soon became a lead story in entertainment industry and confusing in that Clara died of poisoning herself three weeks prior to Dark1's mother's claims. It became clear there was foul play somewhere. Dakhone was torn apart that he didn't even go to bury his mother because of the embarrassment left behind by her toxic tendencies. He went back to being quiet again.
Q_what actually happened to the fate of the two mother figures in Dakhone's life? Whom should he side with? Why?
As the security guy knows Mr Saitoti's password because of him letting him do some of his work on his behalf in exchange for lunch money on it, he opened the computer so he can go online to download all the weekend results from the KPL website. Once the browser opened, the last page visited was displayed and he went on to open a new tab to download from the football site. After downloading, he discovered a folder in downloads section called classifieds, that he also out of curiosity downloaded as well, closed the tab and went out.
Once at home, the security guy, Nuru, checked the folder. Yoh,,,he found some mindblowing stuff that he then blackmailed Mr Saitoti with. Mr Saitoti secretly dealt with it with the fear of him exposing his secret, doing business with the state without disclosing it. The other misconduct is that the content is downloaded at work with the company's computer and internet connection. After a month and a half, he asked for a favour from his friend in BFUI to deal with it. He arranged for a warrant to arrest Nuru on the grounds of extortion. Nuru got arrested and a day later his wife told her neighbours that her husband's arrest is associated with the fraud at Airgace Holdings. It caught on very fast.
With a sigh of relief and thinking he got rid of the thorn, a serious scandal hit the current affairs boulevards of Nairobi that frightened to sweep Airgace's image and reputation like dust in the wind. The secret recording between him, Mrs Nafuna and Mr Mwololo. He had no recollection of himself sharing the folder with anyone, stressful was that the other two didn't know he has such in his possession as he recorded them secretly. The other two were puzzled by that when it emerged that the information was in the hands of Mr Saitoti.
The company's executive board seated and tempers flared as the canvas lid was opened on two major corporate secrets leaked and the third being that of a secret recording of executive incumbents plus Mr Saitoti's non-disclosure in doing business with the state, not mentioning abuse of company resources.
At the end of the day, two resolutions were reached and moved on. The first was for the Chief Communications Officer to release a statement in conjunction with the Chief Compliance Officer to challenge allegations levelled against the company, and the second be to suspend Executive Directors Mr Saitoti, Mr Mwololo and Mrs Nafuna with immediate effect. The following morning Mr Saitoti and Mrs Nafuna resigned jointly.
Adv. Mshabula was challenged as the whiff was still strong and his image was tainted by Mr. Mwololo when he said he was ill advised by the advisory board when he asked what'll happen should the information be out when they said they're there for such to be prevented. Also why Adv. Mshabula wasn't vocal about firing them instead of the recommendation they made for them to be suspended. Asked if he is failing to do so because he was often seen with Mrs Nafuna after church services as they fellowship at the same church. Lastly that he should've advised the CCO to admit the company's wrong and apologized to the public than blaming suspended incumbents with the hope of pinning them down with golden handshakes they publicly undeclared so for them to take blame. Where was Adv. Mshabula's integrity and good governance in that?
At home Adv. Mshabula was not having it easy. His wife demanded he resign as his association with Airgace is compromising her position because Airgace funds the College's ethics and morals program. His children also not having it easy as he is caught up in between making money, clearing his name first and redeeming his reputation before any drastic move. He ended up resigning due to family pressure.
Mr Ragovorelo expressed his disappointment and regret in having appointed an advisor who jumps ship immediately after the company hits a minor hurdle, said he shouldn't have been gullible in the first place by rhetorical masquerading of a weak hearted loud mouth.
A few moments after the fouled public fulmination, a post by Fodike on social media was shared in response to what got said about his father. It read: "at least he had the guts to stand against what's wrong unlike you who protected it from the beginning and now acting as if it's news to you. Something big about where you're from is on its way, and soon enough the true weakling shall be revealed to the public."
The media was abuzz and an hour later he responded by saying: "what do you know? Who fed you lies about me? I never said anything about your father. The media misquoted me." Fodike never responded and kept conversations with others online. Mr Ragovorelo finally apologized to Adv. Mshabula and also admitted to having known for a long time and that it happened before he was even appointed to the advisory board. He then distanced himself from Mr Mwololo's tasteless utterances.
Fodike surprised his family as he gave his father power again. From that day on, his father never treated him asame, more so after his media profiling.
Q_what's the first wrong committed by Mr Saitoti? What was Adv. Mshabula supposed to do at first instance? What's most pressing issue about the situation?
She was in a bus when the conversation about investment opportunities cracked wide open. Reila Guzman was on her way back from a church conference in Santiago del Estero when her friend Catalina Navarro introduced to her an investment scheme. After hearing that Reila was interested, and Catalina recommended that Reila talk to her son about it.
Catalina's son, Thiago, took her to Vinushi who is a forex trader, specializing in pensioners funds. He impressed Reila and transactions were concluded sans Catalina's knowledge. Weeks went by and she went to Catalina to talk to her and her son about Vinushi. Truth is that Vinushi has disappeared with her money and Catalina's son has to know. Thiago claimed to not knowing where he was and that he's actually not his friend but a random guy he knew only by seeing.
Not believing that, Reila went to the cop shop to lay a charge against the two. They were arrested as part of the syndicate that scams pensioners. Catalina, out of fear of her and son going to jail for what they don't know, cut a deal with Reila to pay her back all her money. Getting out, word was already out that they are scammers and they tried scamming her friend Reila but failed and got arrested for it. Others who were scammed started giving her nasty looks.
She was now a bad person for trying to advise a friend. When trying to explain herself to people, was evident none saw it her way and for how it is. Her son on the other hand constantly blaming her for advising people on things she doesn't know. It was tense. She spent 4 years and five months working hard to pay off the debt she didn't benefit a thing from.
Q_what lesson did you get from this? What would you do if it were you in the shoes of Catalina?
DX didn't hesitate after being back, he proposed to her and she said yes. They got engaged for five months then married. She thanked herself for the leap of faith she took with him. She was asked to leave her job to join the hospitality industry but she refused, and kept her job. Two months later, an offer from a private hospital was sent to her and she accepted. It was from her husband's associate, and she was immediately promoted. DX didn't want for her to be too comfortable and soon bought into the idea of introducing hospitality nurses services as a bait to have her run the program as its head but still refused.
Whilst in bed, one evening, she asked DX what his plan was with that program, she got sold because he was honest about wanting her up there and running a program not the business as he understood she's not the business type. She loved it and started developing it further. They launched it and was a hit. People flocked to their hotels as a result especially the older generation for that service.
They ran also a corporate program with which they disrupted the status quo of the industry. It now became a norm for French executives to meet over gym and eat healthy after sessions in the morning and late. On capitalizing on the success of that service, Fellina advised him to rebrand their hotels and call them by one name as it was expensive introducing the service because of the many hotel names they had. In all they were 24, and with each having its own name. She suggested du Notropis Hotels and, the board cheered for it.
It wasn't easy to soften DX on that, but got to see the benefit of one name one advert campaign and liked it, though he loved the group of hotels name than hotel chain as it sounded mega to him. To his surprise, the rebranding exercise saw his business grow by 26%. By then he knew Fellina has got it in her, just that she needed in through what she loves and now got hooked. She eventually out of her own will quit her job to run the service full-time.
Out of happiness, he bought a chopper for Fellina and she advised him to build helipads in all their hotels so she could be in many spots with ease. After two months of construction, she introduced a service to executives to fly them over for meetings and it paid for the price he bought it for. He was overjoyed by how she was thinking. Soon they were the trendsetters in the hospitality industry. After seeing how good Fellina was, Gaspard left the group to start a BnB to attract another woman of Fellina's stature.
Q_would you have stayed on after your boss stole your lover? Which idea in here can be used in your business? Why and how?
In the background, soft sound playing in lowered volume of Lucky Dube's 'Romeo & Juliet', she opened her eyes and he asked: "What do you see?", and she said: "opportunity for diversification". He gazed for a moment into her and she smiled; in his mind she's the first to react the way she did and said what she said, she's one of her kind. That's how the Limpopian architect saw his soon to be fiance, a woman who saw a ring as an opportunity for business growth not as a Valentine's surprise present or marriage proposal. Gobsmacked by her utterance, didn't get what she really meant, but was fresh air cycloned in his ears.
The architect, Tefo Ramere, was thrown aback by his Xhosa girlfriend, Zintle Tinara. They were 3 and a quarter years into their relationship and for some time been talking about taking it to the next level. Judging by his actions, Zintle knew she had no choice but to clear the mist quick, before he spins further out of it. Her man is too fragile, so, she told him she'd better have him take his lobola savings and invest it in his dream for she was sure he now had enough saved. She didn't want her family's happiness be at the expense of her man's happiness.
Tefo told her he saved enough but she said, "let's borrow from it, multiply it, then shave off the residue and give it to my family, otherwise it's going to kill our vision. Mind you, the dream you sold me, my vision too. It's for us, our future,,,let's establish it first, my love. Valentine's Days will come and go but not our dream. Let's also venture into jewellery design and manufacturing". Taking her hand, he shed a tear drop into her palm as a sign of adoration. He was used to her logic but this time she climbed a mare on it.
Zintle is an interior designer, and together they work wonders as a team. Their company, D Zyna Smarts, has local and international clientele. Zintle wanted for them to get married knowing they'll be honeymooning in their own paradise, not back to a rented apartment like now. She so much believed in her man's passion and talent, hence she bought in wholly and be his partner. Since then she never looked back even once. She wants him to marry her being a content businessman.
They pushed the new venture and seven months in, they got a promise of joining hands with an Egyptian design house. A few weeks later it was a done deal and they were now working with the Egyptians. Their startup was swallowed by the new name, Ikna's Jewellers, owned by an Egyptian Billionaire designer and investor, Jabari Fouad Ezzat. Through the partnership deal, they got to oversee operations of five Ikna's Jewellers stores here and come up with ways to grow its fingerprint.
Jabari knew about them through a Moroccan friend of his, Waahibah El Filali, who was a new client of D Zyna Smarts. Eight months more, Tefo did what Zintle stopped him from doing, he paid lobola to the Tinara's and a month later tasted their wedding cake as they cut and fed each a piece in celebration of their love for one another.
Their empire was showing signs of growth potential. They joined the cream of the ZAR's lords at Tippant Estate in Joburg North. The estate boasts a horse race course, car race track, golf course, and an enclosed private airport with helipads catered for. Only 32 families stay in there, where the lowest valued property is at ZAR 265 million and tipping the scales at ZAR 966 million. Funny enough, the lowest valued property was theirs, and was financed by Jabari to cement his belief in their partnership with him.
They managed to pay him back in six years, and forever they kept growing both companies. On his interview with a business journalist, after being asked what his success in life, business and marriage was, said you just have to sell her your dream and if she doesn't bite, clearly not a fit for your vision. Probed then what? Said: "and just move on to the next until you find the match for your purpose."
Q_why did Zintle risk the first chance of getting him pay lobola for her? What does a fragile man look like?
Kweku interviewed her and was impressed until when asked about her background that everything changed, he discovered she was the daughter of the man who denied him information six years ago. He scored her and told her to come to the side with him. He asked she give him her paper to write a note for her dad on. Chuffed was her daughter and off she headed home quick to hand the note to her dad.
He wrote Estrid a reminder of what he did to him and attached to the note was the scorecard of his daughter, she missed an opportunity she had because of him. It was obvious if the scorecard was with him she was out. He cried alone remembering the day now as per the description of the man and the incident. Olga came back to find his eyes red and asked why. Estrid told her everything and they together sat down and cried. Her father's behavior had cost her an opportunity of a lifetime like the time he denied Kweku and others, and now she's paying for that. She then yelled, "it's not fair but maybe I deserve it because of you Papa, and but,,,know that I hate you with all my heart" and their relationship took a nosedive.
Q_what would you do if you were in the position Olga was in? If you were Kweku, would you do that? Why? What did you learn?
Q_why was Stanley not happy? What would you've done if it were you? What did you understand about this scenario?
Yeva went amok and left the very day. She went back to her family home, taking away their two last sons with after telling them everything. Sheemah was speechless throughout. The next day after the funeral his friend pulled up driving a brand new Ferrari and answered him about that he found a blood stained flight bag with 500 and 200 hryvnia notes full in a bin. What surprised him was that there was a note saying there's more in other bins around the city. Before he drove off, Sheemah ran to the next bin screaming "my money!!,,,,my money!!" and that was the end of his sanity. His lies cost him dearly by a jealous friend.
Q_was it good for a friend to do what he did to Sheemah because of jealousy? What did you take away from his tragedy?
Reminiscing about the days he was still big in business in the early 2000s while in Norway, eating his favorite scampi+nantua dish, Jorge Nolands was back home in Poland and having started over again. He now owns a performance tyre manufacturing company called F2 Tyres.
Jorge used to be a franchisee of a seafood outlets chain. At his peak, he ran 41 across the territory through his investment company, JN Funds. His no.1 enemy back there was non-tax compliance. The taxman wrote him many letters to ask him nicely but he failed to listen until they froze his accounts and troubles came flooding. Trying to be a good boy after playing nasty never seen anyone get back the courtesy they were afforded first time, and so was the case with him. He went bankrupt and finally filed for a divorce to his Norwegian wife of 13 years and went back home.
JN Funds was no more, and now 9 years into tyre design and production. He was growing it organically unlike his first time in Norway. In F2 Tyres he has a partner who's also his wife, Erika Posada, the 2nd daughter of a retired building inspector. Her mother was a housewife the whole of her marriage (something that took away her radience and content). Her daughter vowed to never end up like her and worked hard at school to obtain a bursary but nothing. Her hopes were deferred and thanks for her meeting Jorge that she was revived in spirit.
Jorge met Erika in a saloon where she was a waitress. He was intrigued by how she always had a book with her to read during breaks. She behaved in a way that showed in there she didn't belong, and that's what he wanted, a woman fighting hard to pick herself up. He felt she needed a fresh start same as he, and here they are building together.
He is a numbers guy and she a psychology freak who never knew college but better than most who did, just by passion. F2 Tyres was a result of their combination. Now they were at crossroads after an offer by a car manufacturer wanting a 20% stake in their company for €23 million. The last they knew was their company valued at around €5.5 to €6 million. They rejected the offer in a blink of an eye after hearing the plans of the offerer.
What they did was unthinkable and stupid to a lot in the auto industry. They went to the bank with the plans and secured a loan. At the bank, their private banker advised and connected them with a lesser known business consultant. Reason for that was because he'll seize the opportunity and put in more hours in their company than it would be with a busy consultant who will cost more but with no much time and effort into their company, also take them up sans involving them in the process and thus denying them the opportunity to learn. With Ralph Gjellerup, the whole process was naked as a jaybird leading to the campaign. They took 8 months working on the plan of action and relaunched. The relaunch was a success that led to their brand signing major deals with lesser known car manufacturers and with a mixed bag of tyre distribution dealers and direct retailers.
Ralph had connections in Russia, India and Japan. His strategy was not of capturing the hyped Western world mainstream market. His focus was building a solid profile with huge silent volumes to learn the international space sans repute distortion. Indeed it was revealed in the process of their growth plan. His plan was two sided, establish the brand as a global citizen and quietly amass storage facilities for warehousing. Seeing that his contract with them was nearing its afternoon, Erika and Jorge appointed him as their Group CEO and tie him down with a 10% stake in the company.
He took the company from producing 18 600 unit sales to 44 000 in a month, and to 135 000 unit sales in 3 months. To them it was a big thing that to him was humble beginnings. In 12 months he was maintaining 148 500 mark of which was remarkable. He kept overlooking the hyped Western and European markets still in the name of enforcing capacity and it paid off handsomely.
After 4 solid years of experience and bigger players having given up on them, their tyre was a true performance contender that was rated among the best after their Trenium run-flat range was the 3rd best selling after Pirelli and Bridgestone. They were now looked at and started their phase of expansion, and started taking orders from the bigger players. Their order book was running a push out of 312 000 on average a month now in each of their markets, with China leading the pack with a consistent 326 000. They were low on debt and having built a commendable cash pile in their reserves that whistled a smooth mid 9 figure dot thanks to allowing Ralph roping in their private banker, Yves Von Rundstedt on full-time basis as their CFO. Everybody wanted to wear their shoes because of their clever signature on their tyres that was intuitively highlighted in their advertisement.
Their key differentiator was the signature F2 on the center base of their tyres, making it known you're wearing an F2, unlike the rest putting theirs on the side wall. Their tyres were also one of a kind in that they were designed in such a way that when driving in water the water don't take the direction of the car. The water escape sideways instead and thus making your car perform better in wet conditions. The tyre tracks were running laterally unlike the horizontal norm. They won because during hard braking their tyres responded better due to that technicality and other hidden patented technological aspects of innovation like improved cornering.
After finding out about a secret deal between Ralph and Yves of him having Yves take 2.5% of his dividend to keep him, Erika suggested they gave him that officially. Yves was awarded 5% in preference shares and Ralph retained his initial shares with added benefits. And to celebrate that, F2 released F2 Aaws (Active all-weather-shoe), which became an instant hit with celebrities and fashion personalities. F2 Aaws was rubber shoe with F2 sole that was comfortable for running, walking, trekking, working, and mostly driving. They were like no other in the world.
The pair comes with a plastic feet cover for wet conditions and a sheep wool feet cover for cold weather. It was cool to wear. In their 10nth month they sold their 1 millionth pair. The very same year F2 Trenium won Best Global Tyre award and Best Performance Tyre award. Those news spiked sales to 1.63 million units a month in sales. After success of Aaws, they made Aawmbrella. It was an umbrella that was made of tube rubber as it's thin and all-weather proof. It became the new who's who fashion item and sold in droves.
Within a year, they were valued twice the figure they were and the Nolands decided to quit and give Ralph, now affectionately known as 'Tyre Nerd' in auto industry, the ship to sail on as the Chairman and Yves as the Group MD. The move made him blind worse to poachers as he was where he never dreamt he'll ever be. His loyalty was unshakable. To seal their ascendance they released a performance bike tyre range dubbed F2 Glider and in India released a Tuk Tuk (rickshaw) tyre called F2 Tukium range and busy homologating in China for the same range.
With 17 and half years in auto industry business, the Nolands were well off. At 54, Jorge was grateful for his failed stint in Norway as his success wouldn't have made him the man he is today, the envy of industries and peers, the President of an auto industry giant. Yves and Ralph to this day continues to make them super wealthy.
Q_how many shares would you've given to Ralph and Yves? Why?
Rev Hore was a popular strip joint of choice for the big boys of tech industry. It's owner, Ms Iki, a retired ramp queen from Singapore. Rev Hore's famous regular was Mr Qiqoti, known also as "Daiquiri king" because that's what he drank only. Ms Iki and Mr Qiqoti were secretly dating and also partners in the world of adult entertainment.
They together owned pornography sites, studios for adult video shootings, an adult resort, a porn casting agency, and adult stuff outlets. What they did was ruthless in that they made money from their friends and family plus staff. They turned them into porn addicts by surrounding them with pornographic material everywhere they were.
At his home, the Daiquiri king had spy cams in every corner of the entire house. He saw the nakedness of everyone who has ever been to his home and used the toilet or slept the night or took a shower. His bedroom was like a control center. He was having 124 screens to track every saucy moment at his home, office and establishments. He was more than creepy, he was obsessed. His tablet and laptop weren't meant for anyone's use except him alone as they had multiple cover passwords to secure his material.
His IT guru was his mistress, her pseudo Pinkabell, was the editor and producer of all the material he captured. She was a quirky piece that had a quirt in her hand all the time. They made money by the minute. If you disagree with Mr Qiqoti, he sends a clip of your dirty acts and gets whatever he wants. He was feared as none knew what is bugged and what's not. It made everyone around him agreeable until one day he met his match in S-wold.
He was a Jamaican pornstar who signed under his adult entertainment empire. S-wold was bisexual and possessing a chiseled body that every girl dreams of laying her hands on. Screenwise he wasn't the business but didn't matter much. Trouble started with Pinkabell developing some temptatious tendencies in S-wold when editing his material. S-wold was good at selling himself and every boy on set was envious of him as every girl wanted a piece of action with him on and off set, and so did gay boys. As such, why won't Pinkabell feel the same?
Pinkabell made it a point she create her chances of bumping into him and get to know him better off the spy space. She slowly started being active in directing scenes so she can feed on his oozing appeal. But being close to the man made her veins stretch to almost burst with lust especially after the day she massaged him before going on set. She then gave him her number so they meet.
They had only 3 encounter sessions and Pinkabell didn't want to let go and whenever she's with the Daiquiri king would yeppadiyap about him that it ended up driving Daiquiri king mad. He organized a hit squad to scratch him off. On the day they got there, the 2 boys got into his pad and found him naked. What they saw was unreal that they forgot what they were there for and wanted to touch his body and ended up captured in moment of intense session with him. Thereafter they got out and committed suicide for their shame.
Seeing no results, he order a she perk on him that Pinkabell countered by attaching a bomb underneath the hood and exploded, rendering the mission foiled. The Daiquiri king was now getting frustrated as S-wold's ratings were skyrocketing and now dating openly with Pinkabell. Daiquiri king finally cracked and threatened Pinkabell, which made her tell S-wold about the threat.
S-wold was a bold and daring young man who went into his office and confronted his boss. He undressed and read his boss's reaction. Seeing that he was fixated on his lower front, started playing with it and getting closer to him. They were now compromised and suddenly he said okay okay you can have her. He went out still with clothes in his hands and out into Pinkabell's car and off they were.
The next day his encounter with S-wold was an online hit. The young brave Jamaican fought with what he had and won.S-wold was a bold and daring young man who went into his office and confronted him. He undressed and read his boss's reaction. Seeing that he was fixated on his lower front uncomfortably, started playing with it and getting closer to him. They were now compromised and suddenly he said okay okay you can have her. He went out still with clothes in his hands and out into Pinkabell's car and off they were.
The next day his encounter with S-wold was an online hit. The young brave Jamaican fought with what he had and won. Unfortunately for Mr Qiqoti, the confrontation was streamed live using his own cameras though muted because of content sensitivity. Pinkabell was using his resources against him sans his knowledge and consent, with the threat of releasing and unmuted version should he try anything funny.
Now that he had no Pinkabell to do the work for him, he was left with selling part of the empire. Pinkabell heard about it through Ms Iki and called him to not, and if not give her 50% cut of the whole Adult Scene Ltd, would expose him for what he was. Also, if he tries anything, she'll release all the material on adultleaks.com and have passwords destroyed. He was finished and left with nothing more to say except agreeing to her terms. She knew too much and had a lot of data that once out he'll be dead by noon the same day. The empire grew and Pinkabell got married to S-wold who never stopped being a pornstar.
Q_what were you going to do if you were in the position of Mr Qiqoti? What lesson did you take from this scenario?
The next day he got there and was taken to the main office of the forum where he was introduced to his staff and his car ready to take him to his new home. He went to see it and asked to be taken to his wife. On his way asked to pass by the stalls. Getting there, Kuakonda couldn't believe the transformation of his friend. He told him he wasn't dreaming, and that he'll employ him some day as his jokes man (he's used to calling comedians as such). Told him how he got there, and how he is in is place, Kuakonda fainted as he left to the cheer of those witnessing it all.
As if it was nothing, the very night Aron was on television for an interview where he fumbled a bit but did well for a tyro. All liked him and so did the organisations affiliated to the forum. Next morning was his face on front page of dailies and the next week on business periodicals. His win was that, unlike his friend Kuakonda, he understands people and business, he listens and is impartial.
Day of elections came and the hall was brimming unlike in past AGMs. He emerged victorious and was announced that Aron Mchingu is the new president of Rwanda Small and Medium Enterprises Forum. Smelling a rat, Aron asked Khelina Mutapa (the headhunter) why they gave him a house and called him president at the office before elections? She said: "You appeared less as the one but carries qualities of the one, so I were mandated to find the forum's next president not a floozy, and here you are,,,muPresidente". They both laughed and waved her byes as Aron receive a call from President Kagame to congratulate him and wishing him well.
Out of scorn, to teach his friend a lesson, he hired his enemy Simason Ufareseka to be his People's Representative on the National Hawkers Committee. 10 months later, it was rumoured Kuakonda is separated from his wife following her advice.
Q_is is right for Aron to not thank his friend at least for him surrending the opportunity that he took on? Why?
Soon they sold the company for $ 3,975 billion to the firm though Vincent insisted they stay on with her as still the Group CLO and Nia as head of Innovation. Evita got out a cool $ 1,950 billion and Nia a full bloated $ 1, 510 billion, which left the twins with$ 515 million, that's a split of $ 257.5 million each (enough to make it rain a whole year long). At the tender age of 19, they were the coolest kids to hang out and roll with. The twins and their mom were set for life.
The twins' dad, Roddy, who got laid off for bad behaviour where he used to work at the Yellowstone National Park, emerged out of nowhere and started using media to grab their attention and he got it. Media loved the drama he came with. His kids didn't give him a piece of any of that under the sun and got him riled with anger. He then one day followed the couple on their way back from the mall after trying to talk to Nia who gave him none of her time.
When they got home, he forced his way in and a scuffle broke out. He managed to break out of it with his gun and aimed his gun at Nia with an intent to shoot her, and Evita jumped in and shielded her with her back and down she was with blood rapidly soaking her back. She was bleeding profusely. She took a bullet for her. Reality creeped into Roddy and he ran away. The ambulance this time around came immediately and but with all the helping hands on the scene, Evita Morrison passed on. It was the second time Nia witnesses an incident of that nature. A day later Roddy was caught after a high speed chase. Evita was buried like a heroine she was and her wealth left to the twins. As per Evita's wish to open an investment company, Nia and the twins did so and named it after her.
Q_if the scenario was to be named, what would you call it? How would you have ended the storyline? Why?
In his space, Rodrigo likes wearing thongs with tabis. He stayed alone in his 13 room plateau top mansion. The only person who's close to him besides his family and clique members is Leandro Zonos, nicknamed Fillip, his servant who stays in his yard in the servants quarters. Fillip was in fact more than his servant, he was a confidant, the clique's scroll decoder and counselor, and his sultry predilection.
The clique has its own year of 33 weeks, and hold meetings once every 11 days. They had no month but only weeks with 11 days. And on the eve of each 11th day, Rodrigo has to realign his potentate realm with his sultry predilection until before sunrise. In the realignment, Fillip was the controller of energies and Rodrigo the harvester of the churned energies via a passage only they connect through but never link on orally. The session starts upper north with brain shower and to the lower north before spread of his coagulated exabit from his pubic tower on his mid-edenal section, after the temple curtains dropped to his lower left and right south. He alone knew Rodrigo's ocean and rub his planets according to his warm bull's eye tunnel, warranted by the dictator messengers of their tenebrific forces. Only him knew his pigment imperfections and perfections.
Q_is it fair what Udin did to Sino? If it were you, how will you have handled the relationship? Why?
Irv Norwood was a lecturer at one of Los Angeles' finest business colleges. He went to Harvard himself. His classes were conducted both electronically and by contact. To his family, his career path of choice was a disgrace given that 3 of his siblings were doing big things with fancier titles; chartered accountant, ship captain, and vehicle designer, and him an MBA holder who chose lecturing.
Doing good unto others a good way of creating own luck. Few years done the line, a surprise visitor asked for his time and he availed himself. When meeting the stranger he was dumbstruck to find that it was a former student of his, Terence Townsend, nicknamed Double T.
It was obvious his visit was not for casual chats and so asked straight up what the purpose of their meeting was about. Double T laid it to him about wanting him on board for a start up he's part of. It was a pharmaceutical company that specializes in packaging and storage. He told him they are 6 and left with finding the last piece of their puzzle, and that's him, to make it the magnificent 7. The only condition being that he must come in full-time, thus leaving his job.
Each member in the start up had a background with at least 3 years experience for the least experienced. He checked the idea plan and the profile and skipped to the resumes with interest in their gender quota, of which he discovered it would be 5 males to 2 females. Asking about relations he found no romantic links of any to the other. So, he liked it and said he's in.
The company, Brown Dot PharmaPacks was founded. It took 2 years of grinding to realize traction. They were very reliant on him and Raymond to see them signing contracts and the pair delivered. Their contacts saw Brown Dot popping up here and there in conversations. Irv's student list was forever interrogated and it paid off in that most of his contacts were from his former students and were very helpful because of their liking of his humbling attitude and respect for him.
Jackpot was hit the day he received an email from the Senate's office by someone who happened to be one of his most memorable students, Bradley Stevens. He gave him mileage none has done so far by connecting him to the oval office. After just 4 major contracts signed, the partners unanimously approved for an adjustment to his percentage in the stock and gave him an additional 5, which made him 12.5% heavier. The gesture saw him push even harder.
In year 6, they grew to the level of listing on the stock exchange with an IPO of $2.31. Irv was now his family's favourite. In total Brown Dot was commanding $ 3 billion to its reserves before the listing. A year later their market cap was 8 times worth. Irv couldn't have made that much had he stuck to his first love, teaching, he kept telling himself most of the time when alone. He was on his way to being a billionaire, having what he secretly yearned for, fame, and commuting by air like he did in his childhood dreams.
He was living his own American dream and loving each moment of it. He was the crush of many women as nothing of his was ever mentioned about his life outside of business, he was too clean and too perfect, and for that got rewarded with the title of first Chairman of the company. Though he didn't fancy himself as such, he embraced it with reservations in that his face would be too out there, something he despised.
He made sure to push his CEO to the front whenever there's a probability of spotlight. He loved his invisible power. He understood the game, and also the code of power. 17 months later, boom!!!,,,,Brown Dot hit its first $10 billion mark, and him worth a cool $880 million. The company saw it fit to rebrand and their start was buying a newly built skyscraper with 26 floors. The new name was BD PharmaPacks Ltd, and was in bold atop the building. In the following months they were on $50 billion. That cemented everyone in their group as a dollar billionaire.
The competition came to an end and they split after a photo shoot with the winners. Weeks later it was revealed through Mona's contact that his mother was a judge in the competition and that her contact details were at the host college. To him was a sign and a blessing they never acted on the connection between them. The woman, Petra Horvat was full of herself, something strongly disliked by him.
Q_how will it feel knowing that you finally met your mother? What will you do going forth?
Liam is a very quiet and reserved guy from a very wealthy family that owns an armoury manufacturing and distribution company in Netherlands. His father is grooming him for his succession in a few years to come seeing that he's 58 and planning to retire at 60 or 61, depending on Liam's readiness. He worshipped his father and wanted nothing to do with him that will upset him.
Quiet as he is, he's but popular with ladies. Because of his withdrawn nature, it's easy for girls to get what they want out of him. Liam is a very deep loving music person who most of his times spent at Museum Speelklok. Funny though is that he only started frequenting the building after knowing it was no more a church, formerly Buurkerk. One thing that Liam doesn't like is church, and his family are an opposite of that.
One Thursday afternoon he met up with 2 lovable characters, Tess and Liv, who both are studying at Utrecht University, on his way out of Speelklok. Tess is a fun loving person who but is too loud for Liam's liking, while Liv on the other hand is more Liam type and worse was that she is a fan of dance music and, her favourite dj is Miss Djax. Liam was smitten with her as they shared a lot in common that it got them closer.
The club scene in Utrecht City hadn't yet discovered them and it stood that way as they partied alone in his apartment. Hearing how good Liv was in business, he introduced her to his brothers and father whom too loved her. After a brief encounter with her, the father felt his son made the right choice. As a token of his satisfaction with her, he told him to invite her over to his office to try her if she'd be a fit in the family business, of which he did to disbelief of her to.
Day arrived and she knocked off early at school. She got there, waited at the foyer until she could be attended to and asked for Liam, who enthusiastically informed the receptionist to let her into the lift so he can meet her upstairs. They did and spent some time with one of the most important personalities in the country's business landscape. He even took her around alone sans Liam, to get her mind and heart for his own conviction. He was sold with her that he selfly told her if she doesn't find space for internship can come work for them 'cause after all they'll be family with her.
Suppressing her joy, she kept her cool until she was alone. She departed earlier to be with her friend for celebration. Tess was happy for her. As days fell, Liam told her to come do some time with him there on her free days and she did. Seeing her focus and determination, Liam's father offered her a permanent position that she accepted.
On the day of her signing, Tess asked to accompany her and she said yes. Upon arrival, it was obvious to Tess that everyone was noticing Liv. Into Liam's office first, and he wasn't sure of what Liv was onto and he brushed it off and but told Tess she'll remain with him in his office. Calling his father to instruct HR director to prepare the contract as Liv was there, Tess asked for the toilet. She did that purposely knowing that Liam's office doesn't have one, Liv had told her it's close to his father's office.
In there she timed Liv's inning into Liam's father's office. 30 seconds later she got out and knocked on the big boss's office and pretended to be lost. The father, hearing that they knew one another, said it's fine she could wait in his office while sending Liv and the director out to finalize everything in the director's office.
While busy with a conversation, out of the blue Tess's legs are wide open and her side zip on her skirt is up and exposing her private section of her body. She took off her underwear while in the toilet with the intention of seducing either the director or the father so she too can have the same opportunity as her friend's.
With maturity he played dumb and SMSed the director to cancel the contract if they had already signed. Then after summoned his son to his office.
Coming in he was perplexed by what he witnessed and called security to escort her and her friend out. Liv didn't connect what they did wrong as Tess was quiet and pulling her to the lift while Liam was tearful and not saying a word. Immediately she received an SMS telling her it's over.
Starting to cry, she asked her friend what happened and she lied to her that Liam's father wanted to rape her and she fought back, that's why they're chasing them out. On their way back she kept telling herself something is not making sense and tried calling Liam who kept ignoring her until he blocked her. The following morning she went to see Liam but security denied her entrance. Asking why, the guard told her after the stunt they pulled none will ever forgive her.
Going back to school with more confusion and broken heart, a lecturer called her to the auditorium where he advised her to also advise her friend that after their failed attempt to blackmail a person of power as Liam's father, their futures are bleak as their qualifications will be worthless in the whole of Netherlands and as such should try elsewhere abroad. Lost and numb, he quickly told her that they shouldn't have seduced him and rather asked for his help where needed.
Turning her back from laughter by others on her, one of them showed her online their trending story. Not knowing what to do, thinking it's her final year, her single parent's student loans she took with hopes pinned on her, the shame on her; it was too much given that she couldn't face her friend after all and that Liam's done with her, and can't bear her family's disappointment in her. She committed suicide. Tess then later concocted a lie that made Liv take the fall and everyone believed it except Liam who but kept quiet with regret and self-blame.
Q_what would you've done had you been in Liv's position and how?
Pinnata was a dying restaurant that is owned by a very jolly couple, Nikolai Verkovetz and Sinnah. Pinnata is an Italian restaurant that was the brainchild of Sinnah. She worked as a business administrator and later as business development manager at a national bank in Milan, Italy, before getting married to her professional carpenter Russian sweetheart who moved with her to settle in Perth, Australia.
Thanks to Marta, an easygoing Italian cook who plied her trade in many restaurants and hotel kitchens under the guidance of senior cooks and in some cases serving under local chefs around her home province of Emelia-Romagna. She was skilled in Italian menus, carte du jour and other foreign menus. Through her, the business picked up.
While still enjoying good sales, Marta didn't inform them she was pregnant until it started showing at month 7, by her local Aborigin boyfriend. Sinnah got bitter and started treating her and the boyfriend bad. Soon after giving birth, Marta decided to call it quits as her boyfriend got a good paying job as a bookkeeper for a medium sized accountancy firm.
Back at Pinnata nothing seemed rosy for the couple's business and relationship. Nikolai was ever blaming Sinnah for ill treatment of Marta, her own homegirl. Then as the situation worsened, patrons started ditching the restaurant slowly until sales were to the level of 10 dishes only sold a day and 16 to 20 on a good day. When with Marta they sold an average of 60 meals a day and 70 to 80 drinks.
Nikolai decided to drive and search for her, and on day 4 was successful at finding her and begged for her to reconsider coming back. Asked who was cooking for them, he said a local girl who couldn't get it right. Asked also about the guy whom she taught her menus before leaving, and he said that he left a week after she left. Lastly asked what she'll do with the baby as she had no one to care for her? Nikolai said: "I already have that sorted out in case you said yes."
Understanding the ex boss's plight, said she'd come back to him after talking to her man, of which she did. Glad to hear that, he sat Sinnah down and set some new rules that had ultimatums. She gave Marta a call and apologized for the way she treated her, promising she won't be the same again if she were to return. Damin, Marta's boyfriend, said it's fine 'cause after all she came to Australia to do what she loved and that's cooking her specialized menus. None could replace her.
On the first day back at work, a regular who stuck with them said to both Nikolai and Sinnah that, "food, not only Italian, goes with the preparer's hand, and that Marta has that for their liking." And that he'll spread the word about their favourite chef being back. The Australians never bothered to even care to listen to the couple's rectification of her status as a cook not a chef as to them she surpassed even some of the chefs they tasted their hands.
The surprise awaiting Marta for her baby was a baby corner prepared for her baby boy and a minder to allow her to be close to him during work. The thoughtful move touched Marta so much that it saw her vow to stay forever after seeing even the changed attitude in her sister boss. The second and last surprise was that she'll get a 25% commission for every meal sold daily that passed the 80 mark. She was over the moon for that extra daily cash insensitive.
Q_do you concur with the regular patron's words or not? Again, don't you think the insensitive is shooting themselves in the foot? Why think so?
As the manager of her clothing label, Paballo was full of enthusiasm and hopes of growing her small business, WearYu. She was ever knocking on doors, some banged to her face and others left ajar with idled promises.
One Wednesday afternoon changed her day. She received a registered letter telling her about the follow up to an email sent a month ago to her. It was about a deal memo contained therein that she must inform them if she's keen or not on and that they were prepared to reduce the pages to 6 with but items number required still same for her range. They assumed she wasn't able to meet the quota, thus reduced.
The actual reason was that Paballo was not checking her emails for business as she lost hope after countless daily checks that drew nill. She quickly opened it and perused the memo. It required her to do a 8 page spread of at least 2 items per page collection. The catalogue to be accompanied by her resume and the label's portfolio.
With excitement she called immediately the fashion buyer who promised to guide her where necessary if she proves to be a listener and executor of instructions. 'Don't run, walk your ground; that's how the surface will notice and tell it's you' her first advice to her. Paballo did as guided and got the consignment deal memo signed by the chain stores.
Paballo's excitement got cut short when she realized the money needed for her samples was a hefty sum. She was to deliver 4 sizes of each of her 3 items in the chain store's footprint of 261 in South Africa alone, with a possibility of 178 more within the SADC bloc. She had no staff and no factory to work from. Luckily a friend recommended to her a business manager by the name of Kgotso. On top of it upon the first day of contract signing, connected her to a factory owner who grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
WearYu delivered all the batch as agreed though 2 days late, but the buyer turned a blind eye to that glitch. The sales took longer to pick up as anticipated and the lenders started worrying. Kgotso realizing the upcoming mishap, roped in a business consultant who swiftly rescued the situation by converting the lenders into equity holders. Pressure was ultimately eased.
The business consultant advised Paballo to create a webpage to drive traffic into the chain store's outlets through. Within a month it had shown results. WearYu was starting to get marketing budget from the chain store as it was selling in droves. The business was growing and so was that of the factory doing the work for them.
Paballo got an advice from the equity holders to cancel the contract she had with the factory and have hers to maximize profits. Kgotso was sceptical and as such involved the business consultant who was against her move, but the call was hers to make. The equity holders were gunning for a warehouse they just had taken away from a defaulting borrower in their loan book. The space was big enough for workstations, office, boardroom, kitchen, and showroom.
As loan people, they inflated the book value of the property to squeeze more out of WearYu. The sale went through sans any hurdles. Now, she had the building acquired, what about the machinery? The business consultant recommended to her to lease the space rather and buy the machinery. Now she was faced with the dilemma of leasing working equipment or acquiring it via availed credit facilities offered by the equity holders. Their primary aim was to tie her with credit so they extend their holding and ultimately take over the business.
Going against Kgotso's advice and the business consultant's recommendations of leasing the working equipment to avert liability plus distance from her to be factored during crises and when working late, she fell for the equity holders' debt trap. In 12 months she wasn't out of the credit trap as per their repayment plan as they experienced a strike that caused her to default. That automatically made the equity holders grow their holding of the business.
Luckily due to her good relations with the fashion buyer, the matter of non-delivery was dealt with highly and squashed with the aid of their in-house counsel. The fashion buyer reiterated her words that Paballo made a mistake of running instead of walking, and that the chain store will not make business with her again in future no matter what, and that she should've listened, but it's all in her reality passed and to focus on her future.
Q_after this, would you trust any financier's intent with your business ever again? What actually transpired here?
There was a 27 year-old man who was an aspiring publicist, who met the best-paid publicist in the game. The mega publicist was 29 year older than him and 21 years senior to him.
The 56 year-old man had seen years of seeing his age and name inked and echo as a spokesman for the presidency, government departments and as publicist for many a company's heavily decorated directors and Hollywood's A-listers. His mistake though; making others feel more important than he is at all material times.
He got to be close to the youngling through a friend's wife about him not cracking it even with a PR degree. He instantly agreed to see him and on the spot agreed to have him shadow him as an observer for 6 months only. The 27 year-old was excited and did come to the party for the opportunity.
Together they got on and soon they were seen everywhere and him being introduced to numerous key mattering persons in various industries and diverse fields. He was shaking the right hands and rubbing shoulders with the well heeled and powerful. The chap was into thicks of opportunity and cream of unself created lucks. His day started running out of hours, he hardly slept. Looking how far he got in just four months, couldn't believe it.
In the fifth and sixth months his face was starting to make appearances in social media and he was loving every minute of it. The PR guru started trying to coach him on how not to make your name and how to, and the youngling slowly showed him he didn't care. The senior wanted him to start spotting money making gaps to fill but he wanted something else and that was fame, and he got plenty of it.
Six months arrangement came to its retirement and they departed. A month later the youngling saw his fame wane and but fought to hold on. In 3 months he was getting lesser and lesser views and realized it too that with a month left to turn 28, he did something wrong. He went to the senior publicist's friend's wife for postmortem of his stint and he was lucky to have her give him time and help with fixing and appointment with the senior publicist. The reason he didn't have his number was because he only communicated with him via his P.A, knowing he wouldn't be bothered in times like these.
He went to see him there. Getting there the youngling didn't receive the warm reunion hug he anticipated. Reality was that the chap was an outcast and as such won't treat him like an insider. He was straight to him. He made him realize how he threw away his opportunity at end of month 4 when he started wanting to be himself and hogging publicity unto himself. The lesson was that a publicist operates from behind-the-scenes that's why he is popular by name not face, a different case with him.
Again, he only mattered to the right powers that be as an entertainer than a publicist, hence they met him only in social spaces not in corporate space. He was only known in that side not within corporate circles, as such he was never in, reason enough nobody wanted to procure his services as he failed to sell himself when he got the chance, as he chose pictures with them and to them nothing more than the picture crazy boy they saw in him.
He was coldly told to his face that he got the degree but not the material. He tried begging for another chance with the promise that he won't behave the same as then but was told he was never an easy manage and that he lost revenue that he'll never regain thanks to being shadowed by an ungrateful and self-centred opportunity waster that deserves no chance again with him. He didn't care to learn the cost of his days next to the old timer. He cared only about his next appearance in social scenes.
He asked for references from him and he laughed saying, "even if I give you them, they are worthless than the ink and paper put on them." Truth was, it was already spread out of how he won't be a good campaign runner as he craves the limelight. A publicist's face is of no importance but a his name. Also, his mischeck was not sticking to the script after being too comfortable. Robert Greene wrote, 'never outshine the master' and that, the worst mischeck ever for any aspirant to commit, for once stepped into that territory there being no telling what the future holds for the transgressor.
It was painful to witness his tears rolling down his cheeks in cruise control. Seeing that, the old crock stopped short of informing him of how prepared he was to offload some of his non-core clients for his start of 25K a month to build from. His last words were that, "don't be lost to the spotlight for the limelight loves you and in it you're found. Fortunately, you got the code to the closed open world of glam. Hope to sight you framed soon." Knowing him, the friend's wife thanked him for honoring his promise and level up with the failed aspirant. He left and that was the last the young man was ever close to him.
With eyes fixated on his, the publicist's friend's wife nodded her head (wiping the young man's tears) and said to him: "he's not mad at you, just disappointed. But so is life my boy, no guarantees if you run on rehearsal mode. Good luck." She showed him out.
Q_to you, what does the last words to the aspirant publicist mean?
The legal consultant showed two representatives whom she always consulted with about the trouble that lies ahead. According to the papers that they signed as founding statements and other articles of incorporation, there's a policy and that policy is in complement to the constitution. The two men didn't understand what she was actually meaning when she said there was trouble brewing. Seeing that they don't get her, she opted to keeping quiet.
During the night, she received a voicenote from one of the representatives asking for clarification since he can't sleep not knowing what she meant. The legal consultant showed it to him that it's not an obvious thing that they will be elected to the committee just because they are doing the ups and downs for the union. She further alerted him to the fact that their union is rapidly growing membership here at home and outside at the rate of 14 a day and are fast approaching the 250 mark.
Still not sure as to how bad such good news is for them, she said: "your union is attracting SADC drivers as members and when nominations come there'll be nasty surprises for them in that the committee will have to have representatives of each country that has its citizens as members, thereby coining it a pan-African union, so chances of being at the helm post elections are slim. The representative hung the phone with sadness filled in his heart.
After 3 days of not taking anyone's calls, he decided to go to check on his buddying representative, only to be told he's at the office of the new union, the union he founded with him and others. The time he decided to switch his phone off was the time there was a need for his blessings to a special seating to form the committee for the union. After several attempts at getting him to avail himself, it was decided that the elections go ahead.
Of the first 26 members, only 3 made the cut to the top 9 who are the committee. With an achy breaky heart, he started demanding answers from the 3 of the top 9, which had his buddying representative installed as the spokesperson and convener. The chairmanship went to a Malawian national and his deputy a South African. The deputy chairman whispered to him that it was his position but due to his unavailability, had to opt for someone else.
After learning of the developments, he called the legal consultant who said she knew and was an observer, and asking him to not question her loyalty and other guilt-tripping innuendos because she went to his place and knocked until she had it enough. As such, nothing is below board, and has only himself to blame.
Q_after working so hard for nothing, which course will you take? Why?
Scenario 98
Frank Luxta, Randall Forbes, Sinol Gambola and Arid Yuno met through work as colleagues. Frank and Sinol as buddying brokers, Arid as Personal Financial Advisor and Randall as financial markets analyst at a local brokerage firm in Ontario, and became business partners in GLYF Investments. They retired in pursuit of golden dawns promised by a source document from a trusted client. It was about a proposed oil rig that's to be in Greenland. It was to be one of a kind in the world.
The proposed oil rig was to extract iced crude oil, not ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) but literally iced brent crude, something that was unheard of. The iced crude results from the cold weather of that island. The proposed main office of Black Ice Resources was to be in the Canadian city of Iqaluit. GLYF Investments was the first in line to put a stake into the new age oil rig with C$3,3 million. As GLYF's director of risk and compliance, Arid raised a flag on brochureware displayed by Black Ice but his partners played it down and confirmed their stakes waged. BI's website gave lesser info than was in their prospectus. The pair reminded him about their experiences in startup opportunities such as that, and that he should go with their instincts while Randall said they must call BI directors first thing in the morning.
Since they had C$4,2 million in their call account, they pooled it on a mining equipment manufacturer and C$135K splurged on forex. Their portfolio sounded balanced until Arid called very late after hours heading them up on the latest on Black Ice. BI was reported to have stalled its operations and as such to him a risk factor to consider for their commitment. They told him to stop being paranoid and that they will decide in the morning where his paranoia place them.
Arid had no sleep and called two contacts to seek advice on the suspicion he's feeling. The first was to a law professor friend who gave him a simple legal advice which was for them to pull out while they still can to dodge the disappointment bullet, and also asked for him to forward him the brochure via email so he could peruse it quickly for him and he did same time. The second was to a financial news editor whom recommended he sell their stock as of that minute, but because of partners didn't exercise that.
In the morning he was first at work and looking like hell. He tabled his suspicion and recommendations from the two trusted sources of support. Still in discuss of it albeit late, the news editor called and told him he did well by selling as it's about to be published that Black Ice collapsed and investors lost it all as a result. He dropped the call and fainted. The two brokers made follow ups on that and found that they were late. The feedback from the law professor was that they invested on a probability in that it's clear in the brochure that there's basis of possible extraction and the calculated value extraction was from only their internal auditors without any report from external auditors. Again, truth was that BI stated therein that they don't own any extraction equipment and with their investment to build offices and quash debt burden. He said they shouldn't have committed that much before proper due diligence. Their loss further resulted from failure to move the position in time.
They realized that their ignorance of red flags alarmed had cost them, and Arid's trust in them questionable. He was taken to the nearest hospital where he gained his consciousness. He felt failed and pained how casual his warning bells were dealt with. It was a severe unrecoverable blow. His next move was to walk out of the park before he got out in a casket, but it wasn't to be as they had nil to buy him out with.
Arid got out of hospital and the relations between them were no longer the same as he felt failed. A week later he resigned from the firm and started a consultancy firm with his wife. Frank, Randall and Sinol went on regardless and had a few blunders along the way still.
Frank Luxta, Randall Forbes, Sinol Gambola and Arid Yuno met through work as colleagues. Frank and Sinol as buddying brokers, Arid as Personal Financial Advisor and Randall as financial markets analyst at a local brokerage firm in Ontario, and became business partners in GLYF Investments. They retired in pursuit of golden dawns promised by a source document from a trusted client. It was about a proposed oil rig that's to be in Greenland. It was to be one of a kind in the world.
The proposed oil rig was to extract iced crude oil, not ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) but literally iced brent crude, something that was unheard of. The iced crude results from the cold weather of that island. The proposed main office of Black Ice Resources was to be in the Canadian city of Iqaluit. GLYF Investments was the first in line to put a stake into the new age oil rig with C$3,3 million. As GLYF's director of risk and compliance, Arid raised a flag on brochureware displayed by Black Ice but his partners played it down and confirmed their stakes waged. BI's website gave lesser info than was in their prospectus. The pair reminded him about their experiences in startup opportunities such as that, and that he should go with their instincts while Randall said they must call BI directors first thing in the morning.
Since they had C$4,2 million in their call account, they pooled it on a mining equipment manufacturer and C$135K splurged on forex. Their portfolio sounded balanced until Arid called very late after hours heading them up on the latest on Black Ice. BI was reported to have stalled its operations and as such to him a risk factor to consider for their commitment. They told him to stop being paranoid and that they will decide in the morning where his paranoia place them.

Four years after being apart from each other, the three GLYF directors made a brief appearance in court over charges of fraud. Their lawyer told them about some financial risk and security placements specialist firm that the court at times use as experts in such matters as their possible saviors in solving their case. They were found to be in possession of fake mineral rights certificate they bought from some dubious guy for discount. As a friend of the court he advised the legal practitioner and the court, and charges were dropped against them. At the lawyer's office they got to see the name of Arid Yuno and they asked for a meeting with him to thank him but he politely declined.
Since then they started seeing Yuno&Associates here and there. One day at a gala event they met in person and still Arid avoided them. He was also listed on the line-up of speakers. When starting his delivery he said: "A wound from one's carelessness not of yours, stays painful longer, and that rioting to feelings makes it harder to forgive and forget even ages aftermath." He was looking at Sinol and Frank, and they were low key after event.
Randall made a call to the lawyer's office and asked for Yuno&Associates' contact details and called for an appointment. He went there a day after and Arid welcomed him warmly. They had a blast to an extent that he postponed all his appointments for the rest of his business day. Just before they parted, Randall asked him what he's thinking? He told him that he's thinking of recruiting him and they laughed, shook hands on it and drove off.
The next morning, Randall received a call from his new PA as courtesy to bring him to speed on what his first day would look like, and that to his surprise was the day after tomorrow. He quickly penned his resignation and flew out of GLYF to Y&A's stable. Randall's retirement payout was used to open a new branch and he flew to Quebec city to start out afresh with much fanfare. He was given a media briefing the same day. Life changed forever for him.
Q_ is there a difference between a brochure and a prospectus? How long can you stay angry at someone? Was Randall's move calculated?

Scenario 97
As Dj1Track, Jadon Centeno's influence on both the local and international circuit was not ignorable. His pseudonym was saying it without any explanation and many wanted to see him in action. D1T as he is fashionably known, is actually not a disc jockey per se, but a song plugger, that's where he founded his selling point and tapped into a market everyone had been sleeping on for long.
He gained his popularity by hustling djs to play just one track he'd ask for to be played. Once played, he'd give a performance of the show and leave immediately after getting his CD or USB back. People would talk about him long after that event and slowly he got noticed and as he got known would get attention of djs telling him to request a track during their set. He was selective and that on its own made him a hot property in the dj arena.
One day one dj called him during his practice to show him how to operate the decks, and to invite him for that very 1 song he'll be plugging to then come on stage and play it self. That excited Jadon and he went as invited. To his surprise, when called on stage during set, the dj called out "Dj1Track" and though not sure was him climbed the stage and approached the decks. The crowd went wild and he pulled out his stick and inserted it into the CDJ. The dj, Feel Nagano, paused his played track to allow for the one D1T was to play, and it was on, the song lit the mood. In Nicaragua you can't go wrong with Marimba, Folklorico, Bachata and Soca music. When the song ended, Feel Nagano unpause and done, the highlight of both his set and show was witnessed by Managua. Their partnership did wonders for Feel Nagano as well as 1Track himself.
Music labels' A&Rs and artist managers and agents started contacting D1T to help plug their artists and it worked. His name and face were populating the offline and online platforms, thus meaning he was starting to rake it in. Seeing how he was, Feel Nagano agreed to a mutual term agreement to manage his affairs. 5 months down the lane a booking agent gave him a business card for him to be his agent. Being a fair and honest person he is, showed that to Feel Nagano. The attempt failed.
Feel Nagano, because of being a Dj first himself, failed D1T at times as he wanted to mate himself and him as a package so they never separate. The strategy didn't work in that some promoters wanted to procure the services of D1T alone and that became a threat and a subject of jealousy on his side. One time after his plugging, D1T got a breakthrough never imagined before. He met with TopDrop's MD and PoppaHerbalDroppa's lead vocalist, Bluddy Blu, and had a lengthy convo with while Feel Nagano was still busy with his set.
They set an appointment at his office in Las Colinas and 2 days later went and didn't find him. 4 yards back he received a call from him asking him how far away he was and apologizing for his wrong. Jadon was melted by his warmth and humanity and he was sold on working with him, and he said to himself that he's a TopDroppa from then forth. He went back and he got capacitated on how they differ from his mutual partner, what a manager is and their role, and why he blindly needed it deafly. He signed on the spot and took his copy home. He was ecstatic and revved up. His new manager said to him that he must remember that he's the material, and should never forget whom he was coming through that door. He was taught a lot and but saw the gap between the two oceans of management. Feel Nagano deserved loyalty but lacked growth element that care eclipsed. His mother was chuffed that in the morning her son went out a divided house and came back in a big open planned mansion. He was alive, especially post his dyebath.
Feel Nagano received a non-negotiated amount as a release fee for Dj1Track. He tried fighting it but the gatekeepers of power domes played him trimea and dundee tunes to show him how it's played. That taught him to spot the underlining of music industry player vs music business player. He made peace with it and moved on with power in his pocket and a sidekick radio dj job.

That taught him to spot the underlining of music industry player vs music business player. He made peace with it and moved on with power in his pocket and a sidekick radio dj job.
The guys at TopDrop made his circle bigger and soon he was spinning in their world of glam and made dreams. He had gigs lined up where he did pluggins for various labels and artists. Not so long he was signing a single-a-year deal with his choice of music label. He was living the dream peers only hallucinated of. With his deal, when booked, it depended on who made the booking. He was booked as either an influencer, a plugger or an artist. If booked him for influence he'd appear on stage or visual for a fee, if be for plugging would play that booker's track, or be for his single and out the stage after that performance. He was not expensive at face value but was in practical terms, just that a lot looked at the hype around him. He was also silently the busiest artist in that era in that he could be booked in 15 events every week and 2 to 3 profiles a month.
He became the cash cow for the label and soon he was a regular on a web series and doing show hosting gigs, he was everywhere but managed perfectly as he was allowed to continue being himself by not making rounds in public too much. He never stayed long at gigs, loved indoors and not too much on social media platforms. He was wise in heeding to his managers' advise all the time. When recording his songs, he never did collaborations and was also not accepting any collabo with anyone. This made him very exclusive yet very out there for access.
The only collabo he was won over for was with 7hefinest & LucyX, his younger brother's favorite artists, a hit they performed even at his graduation ceremony and 6 weeks later at the marketing and advertising awards. The single, 'Mea uno (ab alto)' quickly turned out to be a classic collector's item as he was honest about it as his only work ever as a featured artist, so was the performance evidencing that fact. The single broke records and gave him access into the African music scene. The single fuelled his popularity as it blazed the markets from his hometown to South Africa and beyond.
In 3 years fame was still experienced in a big way by him. He was still so relevant and signed another deal for 4 years. The aim was to conquer continent after the other, and it worked. He became the only artist in the music industry to be producing 1 song a year yet made money year long. He was heavily sponsored by big and reputable brands with products like 1 Mile sneakers, one track insurance policy for creative industry personnel by Rediff Sure, Chovo tyres launched their new range 1C with his track '1nce', Fire Blade heater's 1 bar range, Gwyneth Air launched 1+1 seat for plus sized passengers with him, and 5 other ones as he only did one endorsement deal at a time for a year and multiple sponsorships to avoid dilution of the brand endorsed. Despite that, he remained rarely sighted in public yet a regular interviewee on many shows. His songs were different from each other as they targeted a specific market each time they got released. He was friendly in social circles but not friends with any players in intimacy levels with the entertainment industry space.
Copying him was The Featured Artists, a young duo who didn't do own songs but did through featured collabos with others. Their buzz was waned by their too much circulation in the market. Again, their claim that D1T wants to feature them to boost sales didn't work as he was quiet as usual and kept on doing his campaigns without dignifying them with an interview as they thought it to be. His management blocked them cold and dried the hype with ignorance choke. They later apologized later after media started calling them destructive copycats. Controlling fame is hard and mastering limelight urges a winner already against any fame seeking strutters.
Dj1Track's management team did what a lot of management agencies only wish but failing because of picking every single cent they come across. The relationship between them and him outlasted their professional relationship and continued even after. 7 and a half years into the game D1T retired from the scene still relevant and celebrated whenever he was in public. He was still endorsed by 8 brands 2 years on and still booked to grace events. A university signed a 3 year deal with him to appear and say a few words in their biannual open days exhibitions. His staying power was the result of a good management team and completion of his dyemantry scrolls with the label manager.
Truth be told, TopDrop has never had an artist as diversified as he, and as well as profitable as he. Through D1T alone, the team grew from 4 staff members comprised of MD & label manager, bookings agent, artists manager and office administrator, to now with driver, bodyguards, carry buddys, media consultant, brand consultant, content creator, 2 ghost lyricists, provincial activists, bloated to a 29 heads strong dominant team. Their earnings were up there since Bluddy Blu quit singing to focus solely on the label's business. On the other hand, Jadon was a millionaire and still raking it in. One thing good about him was that he never even for once longed for the days before fame, he knew it was destined for him and him the material of that stuff...
Q_was D1T's move a betrayal of trust to Feel Nagano? Is Bluddy Blu a ruthless or brutal businessman to you? How many songs did D1T released?
Scenario 96
As the newly appointed Group DRO (Diplomatic Relations Officer) of the QuadValuta Group or QV Group, he learnt immeasurably as the CCO (Chief Compliance Officer). His position meant he's got no boss either than the Group MD, the Chairman and the President of the conglomerate.
Kim, better known as DRO Nambu, is a close friend of the company leader, President Jeong, and in the same alumni association with him and the Group MD, except for Chairman Cha who studied actuarial science in the UK. DRO Nambu holds a B.Com Law from a university in Suwon and an MBA from KUBS. He worked for brief stints in several institutions before starting his corporate law firm, Nambu & Associates, to later be reunited with his friends back home in Seoul. They were accepted and initiated into the academic elite cult called $e'nnights £egato by President Jeong's father. The three are the triangular forces that shields QV Group's pillar of power.
President Jeong's father vacated the position because of his struggle with his Rhinophyma. He felt the laser treatment on him didn't do best to contain it after his attaint traditional treatment methods didn't pass the test. He still runs the show from behind the veve curtain. His stress is caused by his son's un-alpha male behaviour. He discovered that later on into the season of combs that his son chose the unorthodox hand to uncurl the mast shrubs of his co's, DRO Nambu, Chairman Cha and MD Jae-han. His son's gentle rollup and down of one of his co's therapeutic rubberized mast hoodie was his a fortiori give away to his suspicion. His worry was for how long had it been and whether his co's are like him or maybe not noticing that, 'cause if they do, chances are they have been long fielding the weeds outside of the cult's confines.
His suspicion was not vague but unable to be confirmed. In the veil of power corridors lurked a heavy taipo aura that surrounds the four's realm. They were the perturbation of the conglomerate, the element streaks of double air, fire and earth. In camera they ripped each's expensive soft leathers with velvety canine companions and proding their yester stars like they're primal enemies. Their back entrance at Axajk Bar an engraved sacred tunnel. As a team, MD Jae-han is the tamed spirited animal, while President Jeong, Chairman Cha and DRO Nambu are the wild spirit chasers. Most of their moments away from frosted panes are arsoned there into each other.
DRO Nambu's wife, Won-kyung, has a son that she came into their marriage with, Jung, 18, before the second and last born, Hong, 14, whom he's very close to. He is busy learning him the ropes so he'll take over Axajk Bar one day. The two are so close that Jung even takes his dual persona and already shadowing him. He also approve of his stepfather's veil of secrecy and asking to be in, though still a bit of a challenge for him.
At school he isn't one of the best but his stepfather is paying the university for him to have a leeway. His love for his stepson a heart melting affair for any mother. With his stepfather in check, Jung at 19, appointed his crown cleaner and started prepping him for the veil of secrecy. Jung is ascending slowly and but humble still.
To be in, the top 5 must chanel their own business' revenue as a pledge into the conglomerate's funnel to secure their group executive position. That meant the Group CEO, Group CFO, Group DRO, Group MD and the Chairman. Out of them, three gets chosen by the cult to join the President as joint crown cleaners with the DRO as the sweeper, and together form a triangular force around the crown ruler, the President. They become bound by pact in the kitzu before the fane council of $e'nnights £egato, that'll last 7 to 14 years before they be part of the council.
For DRO Nambu, his firm's direct inflow is 72% of its net revenue per annum. MD Jae-han's family hotel chain contributes 39% of its bottom line into the conglomerate, and Chairman Cha's consultancy chain pours in 54%. As Group DRO he travels a lot and with him by his side is Jung, meeting state Presidents, prime ministers, ambassadors, lawmakers and political party leaders. He is in Europe most of the time after they sold their operations in the US in favour of UAE, Europe and UK, and recently operating in Russia and West African bloc as well.
In some closings, as his shadow, Jung has to entertain some of their target attendees. At some instances he'd dust the flags for his glory and allay tumultuous emotions with his finely trimmed ramming shaft. Given his age and physique, his pace matched his ram punches and that a sweet spot for any receiver.
He's extremely good though, and already his mileage on attendees commanding a loggable catalog. He quickly became the nooblet tzar in deal sealing. With 17 years younger to him, Jung's vigour was felt, and many a diplomat requested for their republic to do business with QV Group so they can have a taste of what is being touted as the sort after delicacy, 'cause unlike his stepfather he plunge into any cave as long as there's a prospect of an award for digging it out. Jung was now a key tool. It became clear when he managed to make some attorney-general cease pursuing a case against QV that he's into doing the big league stuffs.
He was the crown cleaner he always wished for, every hobnob envied him but issue was it hit home that it's his stepson who's miling the mills for him. Jung was now sharing everything with him like he dreamed of it but was no longer his sole attache alone, he was the conglomerate's aide. His main concern was that the life he's leading is heading to suffocation, and Jung is too big for his everyday's new wish.
Jung was too seasoned for a son his age to a father this youngly old. DRO Nambu and Jung were the combo that was the ideal subject of admiration but the raging storm inside Kim was uncontainable yet had five more years to endure watching him perform wonders to much delight of azazel himself. He wished daily for the death of President Jeong's father, but proving too strong for his prayers. Truth be told, his son isn't like him, and for him to be himself has to bury his father first. QuadValuta kept growing under their pact and on the seventh year were denied their motion of disband, and the cult mandated them to run for three more years, of which Jung by then 25, was beyond his run and replaced by his own crown cleaner for the remainder of their tenure, which gave him a bit of relief.
Q_is Jung old enough to be in a cult? Is the DRO important for any business? What caused Jung's run out?

Scenario 95
Stanley Bloze, Lynnette Eller, Terrence Wilner, Matt Zeblon, and Angelique Moss, were partners in a newly formalized business, P5 Petroleums (Pty) Ltd. They have just obtained a license to operate, which was secured by Stanley. The capital to be provided by Matt wholly solely. The first meeting after incorporating their company was at Angelique's place and they resolved on having to acquire a vacant land for their development.
The following day Matt released funds to do so since they had a site identified for their development. He transferred funds and signed all papers necessary for the transaction. The land was theirs legally and could start with site development any day from then. As the appointed contractor started excavating, something bizarre occurred. There were human bones discovered and after notifying the police the site was closed for investigations. A week into that, it was reported that they may have to wait for at least two months before they could carry on with their development.
Matt became frustrated, then a meeting was called to discuss a way out. During the meeting Terrence, Angelique and Lynnette voted against waiting for the report from the police and further opted out of the project citing superstition reasons behind their move. Matt was left with Stanley to find a solution out. The next thing the three did was write to Matt notifying him of their pulling out of the partnership for good. The very same time Stanley told Matt that he has procured services of a private anthropologist to fastrack the report so they be back on track with the development. The anthropologist found that there's more bones and that they could be of some tribe that used to stay there about 600 odd years back and that proving to be their mass gravesite. This attracted a lot of interest and in particular of one big fossils collector, Mr Raymond Gayle.
Raymond arranged for a meeting on site with both gentlemen and put an offer for their site at a non-negotiable ZAR 60 million. When asked what's to be of his intention for the site, said he would like to build a block for administration and a museum to make the land a heritage site. Thinking that he spent ZAR 2 million on its sale, Matt said he'd only shake hands on a deal if it be for ZAR 62.5 million, and Mr Gayle shook his hand on it. The deal gave him a cool ZAR 60.360 million when factoring the price for land and ZAR 140K for excavation. He took ZAR 360K and split it between the three as buy-out and they accepted.
In the evening, Lynnette saw on the news that the fossils collector paid millions to acquire that land, and called her significant halves about what she saw on the news. They went online for more information about the depth of the deal and couldn't find the exact figure. The three called for a meeting with the remaining two for clarity on the deal but came back with zilch as they weren't entitled to any courtesy after walking out.
Stanley Bloze, Lynnette Eller, Terrence Wilner, Matt Zeblon, and Angelique Moss, were partners in a newly formalized business, P5 Petroleums (Pty) Ltd. They have just obtained a license to operate, which was secured by Stanley. The capital to be provided by Matt wholly solely. The first meeting after incorporating their company was at Angelique's place and they resolved on having to acquire a vacant land for their development.
The following day Matt released funds to do so since they had a site identified for their development. He transferred funds and signed all papers necessary for the transaction. The land was theirs legally and could start with site development any day from then. As the appointed contractor started excavating, something bizarre occurred. There were human bones discovered and after notifying the police the site was closed for investigations. A week into that, it was reported that they may have to wait for at least two months before they could carry on with their development.
Matt became frustrated, then a meeting was called to discuss a way out. During the meeting Terrence, Angelique and Lynnette voted against waiting for the report from the police and further opted out of the project citing superstition reasons behind their move. Matt was left with Stanley to find a solution out. The next thing the three did was write to Matt notifying him of their pulling out of the partnership for good. The very same time Stanley told Matt that he has procured services of a private anthropologist to fastrack the report so they be back on track with the development. The anthropologist found that there's more bones and that they could be of some tribe that used to stay there about 600 odd years back and that proving to be their mass gravesite. This attracted a lot of interest and in particular of one big fossils collector, Mr Raymond Gayle.
Raymond arranged for a meeting on site with both gentlemen and put an offer for their site at a non-negotiable ZAR 60 million. When asked what's to be of his intention for the site, said he would like to build a block for administration and a museum to make the land a heritage site. Thinking that he spent ZAR 2 million on its sale, Matt said he'd only shake hands on a deal if it be for ZAR 62.5 million, and Mr Gayle shook his hand on it. The deal gave him a cool ZAR 60.360 million when factoring the price for land and ZAR 140K for excavation. He took ZAR 360K and split it between the three as buy-out and they accepted.
In the evening, Lynnette saw on the news that the fossils collector paid millions to acquire that land, and called her significant halves about what she saw on the news. They went online for more information about the depth of the deal and couldn't find the exact figure. The three called for a meeting with the remaining two for clarity on the deal but came back with zilch as they weren't entitled to any courtesy after walking out.
A few days on a letter of demand was received by the P5 team, and to their surprise, their lawyers took days waiting for response which drew nil til the last day of validity. A call was made to the P5 team and they acknowledged having seen the letter but was not at the rightful company though the address was right. The lawyer asked where they should've sent it to, and he jokingly said to court instead, and but gave them their legal team's address and firm name without any details.
The three were demanding 30% worth of the deal as they weren't yet signed out of the incorporation certificate as yet of the company, P5 Petroleums. The redrawn letter was sent to the lawyers who too ignored it and did nothing with it. Then after 10 days a call was received by the lawyers and they didn't agree on anything as according to the three's lawyers, they were playing dumb to avoid paying fairly what's due to their clients. The next thing summons were received and then day came they headed to court to hear what really is it that the P5 prodigals are demanding from their clients.
In court, the three's lawyers were left with an egg on their faces as they had to discover the money that bought the land was entirely from Matt Zeblon, that the three had signed their break-away from the company and evidenced by minutes of the meeting, that the day they walked out the name P5 Petroleums was ditched and a new company was formed and incorporated as 2P Petroleums (Pty) Ltd, and lastly that their clients actually deserved no cent from the deal, which was concluded at ZAR 62.5 million. They lost with costs and their lawyers wanted nothing to do with them thereafter.
The next days a letter of apology was dropped by hand at 2P's address, and both Matt and Stanley read and laughed at it loudly. The three prodigals were asking for forgiveness and praying for a come back if they were still in need of their services. 2P bought four filling stations and six tanker trucks to deliver fuel with and some shares in the fuel making company they deliver for and bought franchises of for a whopping ZAR 59.077 million. They shared ZAR 500K equally and the remainder was for their working capital. Their partnership was for 65/35 split.
Stanley never thought he'd be a Rand millionaire that soon and remained loyal to the partnership as they were revamping their filling stations to cater for EVs as well. The six tanker trucks soon added two more to the fleet. Because of his selflessness, 49 year-old Matt gave the 16 years younger Stanley 7.5% free transferable shares in his family holdings company. After learning that from Stan's brother-in-law, Lynnette went on a surprise visit to him to formally apologize and offer him anything he may want of her including herself. Stanley told her to offer him her self-respect he knew her for and he'll see what to do for her.
Q_was the court's verdict fair on the matter to the aggrieved parties? Would you have sold that land if were Matt? Is 7.5% a token of appreciation or a bind? Is Lynnette's behavior out of pressure or an act of her true nature?
Scenario 94
Profity app was gaining momentum week after week with download numbers saying all is going well. Profity is a newly launched app for the software developer company, SPACEware, which has two other subsidiaries under it in Cookpit and wedway. SPACEware grew sporadically.
The app drawn attention to the owners to an extent of them starting to attend not only interviews but also invited to tech events as guests and guest speakers. An app they never planned much around did wonders for them. The partners, friends from a tender age, Yn Pei and Chia-Hao Xiong, are taken aback by their success. The challenge on their side comes as a result of them not having a plan for their business as they took its idea from a former boyfriend of Chia-Hao's when still in school. The boyfriend was studying software development and information management. Chia-Hao dropped him after stumbling across his notebook and got busted after having copied his notes.
What Yn didn't know was that Chia-Hao was a serial copycat and plagiarist. The issue with their idea plan and the business plan was that they didn't have a growth plan in place. They reached their very low ceiling quick and were forced to now sit back and learn from others how they respond to their operational flops and thumbs up so they could be well on the right track again. Yn suggested they sell shares so as to secure a strategic growth partner, but Chia-Hao wasn't of the same view. Another try for Yn was getting a business consultant or gather a consultry, and but still Chia-Hao wasn't of the same position as Yn. She knew it'll expose her.
As time went on, with Profity app trending on various platforms, a friend of Yn's suggested they sell the app to other tech giants and develop a new one. Yn took that to head and saw the thinking of her friend behind that, she understood that they can switch their model and be app developers and sell them off than developing and administering them. She engaged Chia-Hao and for the first time in a long time that they were on the same position on a topic of discussion.
A week after they were met with a heavy worded email from a major Japanese tech giant wanting a majority stake in SPACEware. They didn't know how to respond to that and enlisted the help of a business and legal consultant who took over their corporate affairs and started to engage the Group on their bid. Their consultant, Minzhe Kanaan, disventured from his client's brief as he discovered that they had no founding statement with minutes of it. Again, some of the notes were missing answers. He was struggling to evaluate the company.
Yn was very co-operative and wanting for Minzhe to speed up the process but it wasn't to be as Chia-Hao was giving them the runaround for more details on info provided. Chia-Hao was of the view that the company would be sold in a day without any hassle. Minzhe was becoming a nuisance to her to an extent of her wanting Yn to buy her out, reason being that she felt they were ganging up against her.

Chia-Hao was of the view that the company would be sold in a day without any hassle. Minzhe was becoming a nuisance to her to an extent of her wanting Yn to buy her out, reason being that she felt they were ganging up against her.
Seeing that it was hard to extract info out of Chia-Hao, he suggested they reject the offer and continue with their business as usual without any party in. The Japanese weren't aiming for a beg down. They had a meeting with their legal team and instruction was given for a scrapping out of the due diligence procedure in favour of a hostile takeover. The tech giant, Two4Tyms, wanted SPACEware so much that they put down an offer believed to be five times its worth.
Two4Tyms was moving into the app and gaming market and SPACEware made a good sense to their urbanized modern theme for their new strategy. Chia-Hao wanted to up the amount but was put on ice when she understood the Japanese weren't acting alone but with her ex boyfriend. It became clear to her that they won't last long enough in their fight and accept the offer.
To Chia-Hao it was a nightmare in that the plans outlined by Two4Tyms were clear and so aligned to what SPACEware should be and as such should allow for their existence to be eroded. SPACEware was acquired in a sale fashioned like no other in Two4Tyms' history of mergers and acquisitions. To this day, they referred to the transaction as an over-the-counter acquisition. What that said was it was an easy and hassle free transaction and but in business terms a damage to the two former owners.
And because of how their relationship was in the last days of SPACEware, Yn went her way into business with their business and legal consultant, and Chia-Hao bought herself a seat in one tech support startup at which in a few months down the line had self exposed her ways when it was revealed how she stole a student's idea and presented it as her own to the board. It was a big tech world scandal that left her recusing herself from the board and cubare her career.
Two4Tyms was growing in leaps and bounds looking at their like-to like stats, and with that made two subcutaneous acquisitions, buying out the tech support startup Chia-Hao was at and bought majority stake in the chatbot development startup Yn is at called Skrinchat. Chia-Hao's ex boyfriend got back with Y as a partner and a oddo friend. A year later, Yn got engaged to her senior partner at Skrinchat, and but still remains in an oddo relationship with her partner at Two4Tyms. The last they heard of Chia-Hao was when she updated her online profile as a production line manager at a shoe making factory. A title none expected she'll even be proud of. She drifted apart from everyone and did her thing away from the previous glory she was accustomed to.
Q_clarify this: what Chia-Hao committed was plagiarism or copyright infringement? Was Yn a good friend to Chia-Hao? Are you in an oddo setup or a supporter of?

Scenario 93
Rodran Blivindev, the Chikokta based chairman of BeLivInDev Group (BLID) as popularly known, is a well entrenched figure of fear and power in Russian corporate circles. He's a dirty corrupt wealthsmith who robs all of the companies he's invested in and put a reward out for successful leads, while same time putting a price on the head of whistleblowers to tie all loose ends.
BLID makes billions each year through its way of scheming. They invest in a business and within months rob it and claim their cover. His wife, Kitavni, a smooth operating crook, owns a private army company, AvniPubliGuard (APG), that had wings for private prosecutions, mass weaponry procurement, and a data bank. Kitavni had no friends and was ever at work if not with Rodran. The Blivindevs' had a big coded printery hub, Oditav Print, which did work for government and big corporations like banks. They made civilians' ID cards, bank cards, license cards and now smart birth cards that replace birth certificates for newborns.
Oditav did something remarkable when they came up with a UI Card or universal identification card. It was the only card that all will be issued with and be carried wherever they go and use for personal vital stats, access, identification, driving license, banking, credit, medical aid, academic info, tax info, transactions, and for each field applicable punching a PIN and a slash code for access.
The revolutionary intellicard had many in media spreading propaganda over. To quell that, two main spreaders where eliminated and snap lapses sent to others. A snap lapse is a one click message that once opened and read self erases, meaning it deletes itself before you can take any action, which still if can try saving it or screenshot it won't allow your device to. The snap lapses put brakes on the rumour mill instantly.
The intellicard came in after the initial shock of intellidote which was in the form of a pill or jab to put a chip in bloodstream of all civilians, but its horrid details where leaked before federal approval. The deal will turn them into trillionaires with an estimated RUB 1.38 trillion. Rodran and Kitavni had a bit of trouble in their pockets that seemed to be a potential future sting to their wallets, and as such had to be eliminated, and that was their advisor, Nikolai, who had been given a percentage in the project as an incentive. His 7.5% was just too much to part away with. They planted a bomb that was tied to the speedometer cable.
News of his mysteriously unfortunate accident left them with 97.5% to them in the contract. Then there was this journo who was probing circumstances around the death. They staged an interview for her with a bogus company and booked her flights and everything. On the day of the flight, her phone got stolen at the airport. She was assisted by police officers who took all details of where she's going. The interview was in France. Her ticket was rendered used and her boarded. Two days later her family was starting to make noise about her phone being off and her having had not called upon landing that side.
What happened to her was that since she was an hour earlier, she could go with the police to the cop shop just outside the airport to do a statement. Just outside there, a call came in saying the thief was caught. They drove her to the outskirts of the city where she was shot and put inside a cow carcass that was eviscerated and with an iron rod stitched back to hide her inside. None suspected a thing as she was registered as a visitor in Paris. The two officers were shot and killed the next day and buried in a shallow grave at their reserve plot while the foreign hired assassin was also shot dead by Rodran himself and fed to lions in a cage. A search party was on in France for the journalist and the other in Russia for the police officers. As for the foreigner nothing was ever said and heard again of him as he was not legal. It was a clean break operation.
Four months after the noise quietened, Oditav launched a translucent data device that companies went crazy over. It was sold industrially. You can get any vital info on any employee or person who enters into your business via that. The insurance industry went head over heels with it as it gave them an edge over prospects and clients in terms of their health statuses. It gave them your personal data, work data, health data, age, siblings and offsprings, a lot without you giving any. No company boss said anything about it. It was a revolutionary spy item that's sold on the harsh harsh. The marketing industry also grew fond of it in that it promised boundless analytics because their costs on efforts were to be cut by almost 99% on searches for suitable prospects. It was super ideal.
The device was snapped internationally in droves and it generated almost RUB 643 billion in just 9 months. In the midst of the wave ride of the data device, BLID acquired equity stake in two companies, one that manufacture forged glass and the other producing factory made food. BLID was growing rapidly. Instead of being robbed in the usual manner, cyber crime experts were roped in to collect the details of clients in their systems. They went the stalkerware route and hacked clients data and sucked on instantly the very night by effecting transfers into an offshore account that was connected to multiple accounts and ultimately into the account of BLID.
Three weeks later, the intellicard deal was signed with the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media (MinTsifry Rossi) at a cool RUB 1.41 trillion. That made the Blivindev's more powerful than any of their hobnobs. With a whopping value of RUB 2 trillion, they were unstoppable. In the following seven months they applied for a commercial retail banking license that they within four months obtained and took three months setting up their branches. The difference with their bank was that it opened its doors to 156 smart branches on its first day.
BLID BANK was a high-end tech setup institution. Inside upon entering, you arrive to automated cubicles to welcome and direct you to the correct section to be helped at. There are less humans but the space still not feeling awkward. The walk-inn experience in there is like no other bank you've ever been to. There's this aura of "your presence is important to us" kind of vibe, so pleasant you feel bad when done in it, you just want to hang around some more. At BLID BANK you are issued a tablet once you activate your account to assist you with anything you may want to know or do. The device can be either operated manually or by voice only. If are a whizzy nerd, can opt for VR services instead.
In each branch you get assistance with or without physical ID as through AI your data can still be retrieved. There's no bank advanced as this. Instead of safety deposit boxes, they had PVs (personal vaults) which are unlockable and lockable by fingerprint or brain or facial recognition. Once seated inside, you get your ticket and when it's called, your seat vibrates to alert you that you're moving. The seat will take you to the relevant desk where you'll be assisted without you doing anything. Once done, it vibrates again and take you to the door where you will stand and walk out. It took time to catch on as a lot of older people were doubtful and questioned the technology which was all too much for them because of robotics and automation in the branches. But, contrary to that, those aged between 18 and 45 were the main make up of account holders.
The Blivindevs were instrumental in key economic growth and development decisions made by the government. They went on to become the government themselves. In three years time they attempted a presidential run campaign but it wasn't to be as the citizens feared suppression may follow given their too much power.
Q_with so much power, how would you behave? How much is a trillion? Would you vote such a financially musceled person into a governing position?

Scenario 92
Time was flying in Nanjing as the market was gripped by sensation of cryptographic era. Mao Xin and Ping Li were long time rivals who were misunderstood by a lot in their vicinity for their commonity. The two were considered slow and unintelligent as they were slow to catch the grasp of things. With time, they decided to cease their archrivalry after realizing that they are one of a kind and treated alike, and working together a good day for their week.
One thing that is good about the two is it takes them long to understand someone or something, and after getting it right, will be onto reinventing it if it's interesting to them. They worked on a couple of projects together and luck not in favour of their trials. The company they co-own, Jiaoheng Ensoftic, has for 6 short years been trying to break apart a ferroliquid. It was hard for their company.
The company kept on pushing into the dusk of their 4th year. In the dawn of year 5, a magical moment sprung into their lives in the form of a door knock from a Japan based bicycle manufacturing company executive to want Jiaoheng Ensoftic to sell them their wooden quadcycle prototype for a large sum of money. Their quadcycle could carry two passengers facing backward. They sold their design to them and they cashed in on a huge pay cheque never thought of before.
The two were soon introduced to crypto investment opportunity by their banker and they bought in. Half of their money was put into the virtual account with the promise of 12 months maturity payout. It made sense in that by that time their money would be 18 to 22 times the price bought for today. Every month they received a statement showing them their investment worth, and everything was promising.
Mao met a very witty beautiful girl whom he was smitten with instantly. The belle, Nin, got Mao in too deep that he ended up telling her about their investment and also showed to her their statement. Nin's head rolled when she understood that the money will be split into two for both of the guys as partners. She created a wedge between the two by spreading rumours about the two that ultimately would see them separate but not. It frustrated her and she planned against the two for a clean swipe.
Maturity date arrived and they got their returns 21 times their initio. She told her boyfriend, Mao, to invest in property as there's a new property development agency that has a side for investments in properties they develop. She gave them their brochure and they loved it and set to invest in it. She arranged for a meeting with an agent that can assist them. The agent gave them an account number to transfer their funds into and they did that. In a month they found out the agent wasn't with a true agent for the agency and they together with Nin searched for her and found where she was hiding. Nin told them she knows of a police officer who will assist with the arrest and they went there.
Once there, a knock was answered and they got in. Getting in they were met by a barrel of a gun mated to a silencer for a muted shot. The two were silenced for good and wrapped with rugs and thrown into a river. The money was never heard of and never recovered and Nin was nowhere to be found. They were found a few days later and buried next to each other. Their company was later dissolved.
Q_what condition were the two suffering from? Was Nin's way into Mao's life coincidental or orchestrated? How does a company gets dissolved?

Scenario 91
"What's awesome if goodness isn't part of the main? On that evening I got home, hugged my son and told him that: "never go into business with a politician my child, politicians don't know honour and business to them is half of everything to them. Don't repeat my wrong take." They literally tied me up and left me in a desert to die. It's a miracle I survived their mischeck but with costs." After those words with tears running, every woman respected her more, especially when she said she had a lesson to share and but never again will she be in that space even in her next lifetime.
Those were the words of a tossed out Austin congresswoman wannabe to her son and the youth after being dealt a huge blow with a loss that saw her lost politically and economically. She was warning him. She was used by politicians with a promise of having state partner with her entity to equip all the hood parks with kids play gear but nope never materialized. It became clear to her that her dream was just that, a dream, when her name was replaced by one of a man at the last minute after financial pledges she made to the organization. She was played. It was then that she understood in politics there's no permanent friendship and no certain gains that lasts.
Zeina Moss is a German born US based single mother of three boys and a gullible businesswoman. Her move to the US came through a contract she had with an early childhood development organization to have her company install smart toys in city parks around major cities. She was supposed to stay for two years but to date it's eight years. Her business saw a gap and now during the pandemic had proposed a deal to supply play gear for kids to help them not get infected.
As a businesswoman, Zeina had an idea for the national government to have kids in all American parks have play suits to prevent them from getting infected by corona virus and other infectious diseases. They sent her to the research experts at the National Communicable Diseases Centre to test her play suit but it was failed. Before she could give them feedback, they let her know that they already knew. After using her business to campaign they dropped her and went on with a seasoned politician for her position. She started afresh and worked on other ideas.
In the following year, a luxury car maker brand contacted her through her home business agent, Althus Hennmann, to meet. They agreed on a date that suited Althus and but ultimately bought her an air ticket to fly home. They met and they heard about the failed play suit and they wanted it for their addition in 'activ lifestyle gear'. They wanted it for older people as well. When she asked about tests, they said it passed in US but her friends didn't want her to make business with the state for their own selfish reasons.
The exclusive deal was structured and at the end of the second day Zeina was all smiles and ready to rumble. This deal is a retracement to her family name in that it's not foreign to automotive industry by history. The car maker was getting teams ready for mass production in four weeks time. Zeina turned one bedroom in her apartment into a studio and started working seriously. She hired two friends and they produced ready for mass production samples. She couriered them and they were given a thumbs up. The news flew fast and out of the blue came her political friends with fake congratulatory hugs. The next morning she was on Leila Swaggz to paint for the world her new swag. Her phone never stopped ringing.
The following month her social contact suit was a hit in the automotive industry and the car maker drawing crowds to its dealerships. The social contact suit grew in popularity and sales surpassed those of their cars. In her interview on Good Morning America she was reminded how not over 14 months ago she was crying tears of pain and flip to today tears of joy, and she opened up about what those vultures did the minute they heard about her new deal. She was now feeling the American dream living.
A film production house also approached her for her suit and but couldn't assist with that as they had to buy them via the dealerships. The film industry was in regret for having not taken their time to listen to her cries from the beginning. The social contact suit was the in thing. She's busy working on another idea that is meant specifically for the film industry. Having a statement out from her on that was assuring for the industry.
Q_to you, what could be the next big thing to hit the film industry? What do you think connects the family name Moss to the automotive industry?

Scenario 90
Mathematics has always been Ronin Yin's favourite subject since primary school. Today as the newly appointed Chief Technical Designer at Ya Boom Auto Concepts, he does what he loves all day everyday. A then weirdo a maestro today. He is an associate director in the company. And to celebrate that he flew to Scandinavian countries with his partners and two long time friends. The party animal in him was unleashed on that vacation.
The music scene and clubbing culture that Northern side of Europe is different from the rest of the countries he had visited before, especially in Oslo and Copenhagen. He got to know and love a lot of music tastes from many parts of the globe in one weekend. He was hung on one specific tune that was played in one of the clubs he visited, played by Dj Zawadi called Dilong. He loved it so much that he even made friends with him after his set so he could hook him up with the link on where to find it, and said he should use the link https://youtu.be/SR0x5wVuKrI to check the video or download the track at https://soundcloud.com/user-735242. For two days he never slept as he went from one club to the next.

For two days he never slept as he went from one club to the next.
On Monday back at office in Seoul, he got a brief from a Berlin based client about wanting something that will be a ground shuttering feature of future in automotive industry yet usable today. The feature they wanted was one that they'd be able to infuse with an already market ready hybrid-powered vehicle. They wanted to set a trend. Their budget was a serious commitment. He after perusing it, gave the client's VP of Design a call to relook at their timeframe but got resistance as they had a new model that is a flagship to be released in 11 months and them given 8 months of development and one month of testing.
He set aside his week to wrapping up other projects so he be fully hands-on on this new one. After a week indeed his desk was cleared. His team got down to its details, working long hours to come up with a never heard of feature for their client's new flagship model, the Torah 'Xzekta'. What the client did was do what they did to them 4 years back when they tasked them with designing a new shape for their dashboard for Torah 'Tripkah'. He knew they still expect such surprise result. Pressure was mounting.
After many blank canvas shoot downs, a groundbreaking idea came from him at 1:34 a.m one morning and he called his right-hand-man to work on it still hot off the mental press. He drove to him and together beat the thoughts out their heads until they had enough and satisfied with it at 5:37 a.m, and went home. At 10:30 he was clocking at work and ready to throw it at them. The entire team loved it and unanimously scrapped all ideas and focused on that as it sure was the one. It took them only 15 24/7s for concept finesse and they were on revert mode to the client. The boardroom was reserved same time for their presentation in the next coming 14 hours.
With excitement brimming to seams at Torah Automobili, Ya Boom team was having a different experience all together. They flew for 12 hours and drove for 30+ minutes. After setting up it was on. The importance of that presentation was evidenced by attendance of the group's Chairman (GC), Finn Vogt. Ronin and his right-hand man, In-sik Hwang briefly met with Torah's director of R&D before their stepping into the boardroom for the tone and touch theme advice in there. After shaking hands, clear he was confident of his turning up.
During the presentation it was all smiles and that pumped up his team. The mood was jovial throughout, the representatives of Torah loved it and gave them a go ahead for prototyping. Ya Boom came up with an earth shutter of a concept feature. The director of marketing told them instantly how he's already thinking of the angle for selling it. The Group Chairman even offered them an outing to show his approval. The team flew back with enthusiasm and raring for the prototype.
A month later, they were halfway through to the prototype. Ronin had a meeting with their COO about the progress thus far and the informationwas rallied to the client for update. 3 more weeks and they were done and ready to fly back to Torah head quarters for delivery and fitting into the 4 test cars. The component was compact for installation but then challenge lied in the communication of it with the entire system of the vehicle. The component uses a tab sensor system that runs atop the electronic system. It took 2 weeks to get a breakthrough. It finally communicated with the system and they tested with one car first and some teething problems emerged once twice, but in the end they got it right as it connected with everything.
It took a week more of rigorous testing and they installed the other 3 cars with it. One thing good was that they went into testing phase within the seventh month, and testing done for a month full to their satisfaction. Torah got the standards authority officials check it out and did 3 crash tests which came back positive and same. The hype was getting thicker by the day. The launch was then scheduled for a month earlier.
On the day of the launch, the first show car was driven in by the Finn Vogt himself, and that alone pointed out to the press and attendants how much he believed in the model. The Torah 'Xzekta' was lauded by everyone who came close to it in metal. It was told that the 'Xzekta' is the first and only vehicle on planet earth to have an OCB or Occurrence Collector Box. An OCB is an equivalent of a black box in the plane. In an instance of an accident the OCB will tell the real story of the actual happenings leading to the accident. It will lock the speedometer, switch the ignition and cut power from the battery terminals and any other power storage hub, and post the record straight to the on-board device for a fully detailed report and automatically send the shadow copy to 3 connected outbound system devices of the owner's choice, with a notification of the accident and its location at real time.
The OCB report will give everything from individual tyre pressures, occupants number and their weights per seat individually, seat belts info, luggage mass, last speed clocked, lights and indicator info, fuel left in tank during accident, anything that concerns the car including your driving mode and style plus any faults in the vehicle's system. The insurance industry cheered louder than everyone in that it gave them a technicality edge over claimants after accidents. It was a good thing that but bad for drivers as there'll be no lying anymore after accidents. The South Korean government was happy for the feature as it'll encourage responsible driving.
The OCB is a central nerve mate to the computer box. The device wasn't welcome by some who even called it a secret spy device but it didn't fly as it was proven time and again how it will be a guardian angel during road rage disputes and accidents. The traffic and police officials also gave it thumbs up. The media was abuzz with debates over the software and device with pre-sales orders but telling a different tale. In a week when it hit dealership floors sales and test drives were record breaking.
The GC of Torah as a token of appreciation, handed over a new Xzekta to the owner of Ya Boom with a word of advice for him to tie the shining twins before someone snatched them from him. Torah from then kept briefing Ya Boom Auto Concepts, and word got out about their good record. The climate of earnings felt ever warm for them to can complain of bad weather as outsourced creativity in the auto industry grew from a niche into a standalone industry on its own. The engine of the new auto sub-industry's leading company was Ronin and In-sik. Ya Boom's catalog was impressive by any standards.
3 years later after doing their homework, Torah invited Ronin and In-sik to their head quarters for a special proposition. The proposal was about them coming into their fold and run a subsidiary called X/Y Tech which will feed intelli-features exclusivelyto Torah Automobili and its new sports car sub-brand 'Vidan Sport' for 10 years in exchange for €300K per annum to Ronin and €200K to In-sik, and they signed same day. Ronin was gettin KRW 76,32 million per annum.
When the "awesome twosome" as they were called at Torah delivered the news in person to the CEO and owner of Ya Boom, his head spun in thought of the warning from Torah's boss himself and never paid attention to that and now it had come to eventuality. To close the room for any reasoning and negotiation, In-sik told him they had signed and will be serving notice. He sat down and gave them his blessings. After the door shut he hit a high brain rev and stroke came quick to accompany the feelings to his numb sunrise. He was found in his office trying to stand up but failing.
A span of 7 months fell and a proposal to the awesome twosome was received from Ya Boom for a merger of their startup with them but an alliance was agreed upon instead. Stress was that over 65% of their margin was generated by the office of the outgone CTD and the current one far off from matching the awesome twosome. Their emerald touch was highlighting the edges of Torah and Vidan Sport's green action thirst. Overall sales of the Torah Automobili Group were skyrocketing. The group was on 640K annually pre-entry of the awesome twosome and clocked 900K in 6 months.
Ya Boom on the other hand was quickly becoming a shadow of self, so, the awesome twosome struck a deal with them for projects that are important and that they won't be prioritized as their baby needs them more than they need Ya Boom. The other condition was that they won't be copying anything from TAG for creative process, as such everything will be new and different from what they will be working on. They shook firmly on that and soon the CEO of Ya Boom was feeling better.
With just one project it was suddenly interesting to hear from Ya Boom what's new on their cabinets. The company was in a huff back to life. To worsen the case, Ya Boom heeded to the awesome twosome's advice of leaking the yet to be released upcoming product just once and fanatic spirit will keep close tabs on them once again, and it worked as curiosity bug hovered over them. It was a pic of the awesome twosome with the CTD of Ya Boom, Ae-Ri Gyeon holding something like a steering wheel but not clear. It was back to busy as usual on Ya Boom's website and social media handles trended once amore.
It was followed more when a collaborated on product was released with a German auto manufacturing company of something totally different from the steering wheel pic circulated. A statement was released later that evening that the project was canned. Ae-Ri was learning but on the social front and on the technical front not as they were working at their premises less. It became clear to her that creative process an autosoliton pulse she lacks yet in tactus to her reach of access. She soon resigned still on a high after the success of their first collaboration. The awesome twosome were the kingpins of auto industries creative outsourcing space. She used that as reference in her other endeavors.
Q_can mi_ddwebb's song Dilong make you want it after hearing it once? Was Torah's conduct a good industry practice? Would you've resigned too if feeling pressure of greatness?
Scenario 89
His name, Samfli Yendow, was stamped on everything that he worked on or touched. He was the master keyholder's hole into the world of any small life liver and the family they're rooted in. Samfli's nationality was always questioned but unanswered intentionally by him and his block. By profession he is a lawyer and holding also a diploma in journalism and a second year drop out in psychological science. He is a powerhouse himself.
Samfli married a varsity administration clerk, Vasni, and expecting their first child together as Vasni has one from her past relationship with a lecturer at the same university. He went into partnership with architects and builders and rebranded it Samfli Yendow & P F G Associates. The new age firm became the first to do construction, architecture, consult on construction affairs and hire out light plant.
The partners from PFG were awoken to the reality of how much they missed out on in terms of money making avenues. Thanks to Samfli they now are running a money making entity. They were now making money from advisory and after sales, hiring out excess equipment and selling plans for new developments, and also by compliance. Samfli once brought in a client for inquiry into consent before work being commenced at her site. She paid for consultation and consent form. They started giving out services to public as well. The pool was growing from time to time with this man,,,it was easily crazy to them.
Avni after giving birth decided to stop working at the varsity to come in to join the team as project administrator for their projects. Her inclusion made a huge difference as they started getting work for administration of others' jobs and also doing project reports gave them an upper hand. Samfli Yendow & P F G Associates quickly rose to the level of fighting for the same slices of the bread with big players and permanently banned their existence in the league of bread crumbs pickers.
Unlike the usual practice of having calls go to reception, their landing line is the sales dept so they sell you their services and refer you. The strategy worked wonders and in their second year the firm was turning in double the figures made in their first year together. Avni felt the love and appreciation here that she never knew at her previous job. She was so busy that she ended getting an assistant to relieve her. The staff of 5 quickly moved to 11 and soon they were in their Y3 together and with staff grown to 13.
It was a good feeling about the profiling they had thanks to Samfli's knowledge and connections. His 35% stake was gaining weight per quarter. In the fifth year their staff stood at 20 and their net turnover at 71 million per annum. In that year they extended their services to construction bookkeeping and but it didn't draw in much revenue. Seeing that their additional service didn't do much, Samfli suggested they introduce advancement on building materials at 10% atop and it boosted their job roll and sales. Their model was now copied by the top tier leaders to render them as the new leader in construction by trend. They kept the lead role for a long time.
Q_which service could you suggest for an industry leader such as this? At their pace what wrong could slow them down? Why did Avni quit her job at the university?
Scenario 88
Mumbai's Oricana Hotel is a newly renovated 4-star hotel that was formerly known as Fendia Spa Hotel. Under new management it's owned by Hanida Reddy, who has in the two years of running the hotel seen no growth from the previous owners books. She has tried two qualified hospitality experts as managers with 1 year each but no impact. She found one aspirant who had no prior experience in the hospitality industry but did the unthinkable by giving him the chance of 1 year too.
Ranedra Kumar knows sleeps in hotel rooms as a guest, that's far he gets in any knowledge of his to the industry. He first started out by getting in and out of every suite in the hotel and writing notes about them. The next thing he did was taste as many meals they offer as possible, outside he checked at the parking space.
Ranedra told Hanida that they needed to redo the linen and curtains, cut kitchen orders by half and improve parking security for guests and business will be good again. Hanida had a discussion about his recommendations and he said that they should use plain colours for their bedding and curtains as their florals aren't inviting for male guests, food stays too long in the freezer and during the last stock the chefs fail to maintain the quality of texture and taste, and would help if stock be in every specific day of the week.
He further went on highlighting the need to have guests assured their cars are safe during their stay at Oricana. She was surprised as this man had no prior experience but spotted such in just his first week in his office. Hanida did as he requested and the day the new look was pushed online phones started ringing. He gave her a call to inform her the lighter airy look is working and visible security personnel at their parking lot is truly assuring.
Bookings came in numbers and the kitchen was busy again as their food was now ever fresh. By the end of the first quarter with Ranedra, Oricana had already broke record of Q4 projections. He was not happy with the turnout and told Hanida they lacked something big to draw bigger numbers. He organized with local and abroad artists an open gallery every second Sunday of the month where they displayed their works in the foyer and the restaurant, and it boosted Oricana numbers and artists made good sales out of that day. He also made them own Wednesdays by giving 50% off on everything for anyone who's celebrating their birthday each and every Wednesday. In the eighth month scored an advert shooting in their bar. Hanida was very pleased with his profiling of the hotel.
Time ran out fast and soon his 1 year was up and by the time Hanida was ready to sit and review the year with him was too late, a bigger competitor had beat her to securing a longer term contract. Hanida cried the whole night and good that she blamed none but herself for having waited until the last month to negotiate a renewal while she saw how good Ranedra was by the very first week. Ranedra worked until his last day and left without saying goodbye to any guest to protect Oricana. Managers after him never made an impact as he till the day Hanida decided to sell it in pursuit of another venture outside of the hospitality sector.
Q_do you think Ranedra's recommendations were spot on? Why do you think the previous managers failed? What is Ranedra protecting Oricana from by not saying goodbye to guests?

Scenario 87
Warrior 1: "Eni plombi ani plomba?"

Warrior 1: "Onke yifya xere emu likanti."
Warrior 2: "Arama kontzi kharra, ahem!"
And they bowed out as a sign of surrender to the ruler. This was a (praisement) by the Mausa clan. According to the historian, the Mausa were the most peaceful clan in African history. When they were found on their land, they were poisoned. Of the whole tribe, only two cattle herders and one messenger survived to tell the tale. They left behind their designs and equipment used to produce battling materials. The Mausa were the artisans and suppliers of weaponry of their then times.
Today's auction was different and so was the security detailing. The artifacts that were the main stars of the show were a bow and arrow, ironclad hide and copper shield, elephant tusk knobkierie, and a spear belonging to the last king of the Mausa clan, Ntofanga. The auction attracted deep pocketbook listers from Hank Ford of Fure Chatz to Linda Chi of Bean Fizz to mention but a few. At close of auction, Linda was the top collector as she took home the elephant tusk knobkierie, shield and the bow at $ 1.87 million, $ 2.64 million and $ 1.19 million while Hank took the slingshot at $ 155K.
Pinen Wotsi flew back from South Africa to Namibia a happy man after the auction. His family has been in possession of the artifacts for little over 22 decades and today they will get to share $ 8.93 million. His father had two brothers and one sister, and all those families took $ 2.2 million each. The $ 193K was given to him as a bonus and a token of appreciation for his honesty and love for the family. He was the only one who kept telling them to do something about those items but they just wanted nothing to do with them until he showed them the figures they could make at an auction. His wife's friend suggested he buy the artifacts from his family and auction them alone but he said the articles belong to the whole family.
After the auction, an author from a well known publishing house wanted an interview with him about a book he's writing on role players in pre-colonial African civilization. He proposed for a deal with him for $ 170K and he agreed to it. He informed the family and they were happy, and they resolved by pooling that into an investment account or go with it into a family business. The author came back with his people and had him and other two family witnesses sign. The money was transferred into a joint account.
Four months later they had an investments company registered, Wotsi Family Investments. They bought a patch of land next to where it's earmarked for a new settlement development and have it touted for mall development. In just a day they received the first call from a development bank and they found that the family business wasn't sure of how the deal was to be structured. Pinen did some research and found that if they lease the land they stand a better chance, and reworked the online listing.
Within a few weeks a group of investors requested a meeting and they sat. In just 40 minutes they were having a good outcome. The land got a developer who'll build a mall and in return for their land had them keep one store for life. The deal was good. Within two months they signed. It took a year and ten months to complete the building and by then the estate already fourteen months in development. A filling station was also built and was completed a month after the mall. The official opening ceremony was held and the mall was occupied 82% and Pinen asked if they could be assisted with finding a tenant for their store and in a space of two weeks they had a supermarket franchise moving in.
The Wotsi family agreed to share only 60% of the monthly rental with 40% and annual royalty left for future generations. Pinen made his family live a soft life ever after...
Q_do you think Pinen's family would've done same as he did for them? Is the store deal the best for their land lease?

And they bowed out as a sign of surrender to the ruler. This was a (praisement) by the Mausa clan. According to the historian, the Mausa were the most peaceful clan in African history. When they were found on their land, they were poisoned. Of the whole tribe, only two cattle herders and one messenger survived to tell the tale. They left behind their designs and equipment used to produce battling materials. The Mausa were the artisans and suppliers of weaponry of their then times.
Today's auction was different and so was the security detailing. The artifacts that were the main stars of the show were a bow and arrow, ironclad hide and copper shield, elephant tusk knobkierie, and a spear belonging to the last king of the Mausa clan, Ntofanga. The auction attracted deep pocketbook listers from Hank Ford of Fure Chatz to Linda Chi of Bean Fizz to mention but a few. At close of auction, Linda was the top collector as she took home the elephant tusk knobkierie, shield and the bow at $ 1.87 million, $ 2.64 million and $ 1.19 million while Hank took the slingshot at $ 155K.
Pinen Wotsi flew back from South Africa to Namibia a happy man after the auction. His family has been in possession of the artifacts for little over 22 decades and today they will get to share $ 8.93 million. His father had two brothers and one sister, and all those families took $ 2.2 million each. The $ 193K was given to him as a bonus and a token of appreciation for his honesty and love for the family. He was the only one who kept telling them to do something about those items but they just wanted nothing to do with them until he showed them the figures they could make at an auction. His wife's friend suggested he buy the artifacts from his family and auction them alone but he said the articles belong to the whole family.
After the auction, an author from a well known publishing house wanted an interview with him about a book he's writing on role players in pre-colonial African civilization. He proposed for a deal with him for $ 170K and he agreed to it. He informed the family and they were happy, and they resolved by pooling that into an investment account or go with it into a family business. The author came back with his people and had him and other two family witnesses sign. The money was transferred into a joint account.
Four months later they had an investments company registered, Wotsi Family Investments. They bought a patch of land next to where it's earmarked for a new settlement development and have it touted for mall development. In just a day they received the first call from a development bank and they found that the family business wasn't sure of how the deal was to be structured. Pinen did some research and found that if they lease the land they stand a better chance, and reworked the online listing.
Within a few weeks a group of investors requested a meeting and they sat. In just 40 minutes they were having a good outcome. The land got a developer who'll build a mall and in return for their land had them keep one store for life. The deal was good. Within two months they signed. It took a year and ten months to complete the building and by then the estate already fourteen months in development. A filling station was also built and was completed a month after the mall. The official opening ceremony was held and the mall was occupied 82% and Pinen asked if they could be assisted with finding a tenant for their store and in a space of two weeks they had a supermarket franchise moving in.
The Wotsi family agreed to share only 60% of the monthly rental with 40% and annual royalty left for future generations. Pinen made his family live a soft life ever after...
Q_do you think Pinen's family would've done same as he did for them? Is the store deal the best for their land lease?
Scenario 86
It started from the day he was born, the legend said, he was arrogant. It's a story everyone in his neighborhood in Sumqayit nows and tell about him to date. This built him into a man they today cheer in respect. It's true that a name can be a curse or a builder to a child. Coy Zadeh grew up reserved and secluded, yet smarter than his siblings. As the last born, he grew up very much detached from his family except his mother because she read him well.
After secondary schooling in his home country of Azerbaijan, he went to further his studies in Romania, where he met up with a very exclusive girl in varsity, Luminita Ratu, who was in her second year and contemplating dropping out because of having realized she's already on her way to her dream. Luminita is from a family of business and she learned a lot from her mother and uncle. Her father is a renowned violinist who plays at concerts and banquets for the affluent while her mother and uncle are running a string of a pub & grill franchise.
Coy's mother was a stay-at-home mom and his father a police officer and a APL referee. Coy grew up seeing football stars frequenting his home, and that alone made him the main man at school yet not close to many. He was close to Adil Taskin and they only separated when he went to tertiary. Coy's father didn't afford his son's education and but the players made it possible to, and as such made him feel burdened to continue with studies unlike his friend Luminita.
Luminita's minimalist home accessories and fixtures, Romanza Furnitures, was a supplier to two exclusive stores in Bucharest. Her products were expensive and simple to manufacture but in stores charged very high. Luminita taught Coy almost everything there is to know since he told her that he wanted to break into the very market of premium and luxury goods. He told her he was into perfumes, and she fixed him a meet and greet with one of her friends who's a perfumer called Ionut of Wekker Fragrances.
Ionut encouraged him to drop out as he was doing a course far from what he wanted to pursue while he's got a chance to get there with him. He did and within 9 months he was polished. He used the cash he was sent from home to establish his own small perfumatory and named it Coyy Perfumes. His first range kölgə was a beginner's luck as he had no advertising or proper marketing. He caught the eye of a big distributor and signed a deal that relieved off him everything that had to do with the business side so he focused on creative side. Their splits were not favorable but was better than what he could do alone.

Coyy had a revamped container design and was sold in translucent plastic with its fragrance bottle transparent. His range came in 7ml, 25ml, 50ml, 75ml, 100ml, 200ml and 250ml (dubbed 'couples size') which meant it was for couples to share. He sold unisex blends and his entry price point was € 85.00 and topping scales at € 695.00. His second release was "Dirge-ale" and it took a lot to sell as the public felt its name was dark and its scent offish. After that he came up with many products that sold well but for him to give up on Dirge-ale wasn't an option.
He approached the association of funeral parlors and sold them the idea of them adopting a uniform scent for coffins. Where's a coffin there's going to be that sweet scent. The association bought the idea and had Coyy make special bottles for the industrial market. He made them 700ml and the cost was passed to clients who opted for top packages. Soon it became a hit and had to produce a scent for lower end market called "Goth-like" as it became standard for a coffin to have a sweet smell. The whole of Europe led the revolution and during Covid-19 first wave Coyy Perfumes ran out of stock and but during the second wave they produced enough and piled stock in anticipation of demand for the third wave. Coy had to triple his staff and warehousing to meet that demand.
Whenever he was home for a visit, Coy, who on social media handles used KingCoy was treated as such, like a king. His arrogance was warranted, especially after he had a collabo blend with Ionut called He4She by Coyy&Wekker that even the well heeled had to budget for it first before buying. It was sold only in two sizes 125ml & 225ml, retailing for € 10 125.00 and € 20 225.00 respectively. Expected to sell in the region of 5 000 units per annum, it sold at an average of 2 810 per month. Its shape was round and hollow in the middle for easier grip when using it. His father arranged for him to play during one of his launches, and they did. A week after he passed on. Coy Perfumes continue to grow.
Q_was Coy really into perfumes or he saw a gap while in Romania? Is a perfumatory for producing perfumes or storing perfumes or both?

Scenario 85
Train surfing gone wrong was what made Ian Roodt and Kgetho Mutsi meet. Kgetho missed his timing on the roof of a moving train and fell to the side, which happened to be near Ian's parents fields. He found him with his ankle swollen and gave him a ride to the farm clinic for attention. When asked whom the black chap was, said he's a new friend. By then Kgetho was mum and concentrating on his pain. Reading from their disconnectedness, one nurse said he'd better not be helping a harbored criminal.
After feeling better and discharged, they had a proper conversation and Ian was so taken by the adrenaline rush. Anything dangerous bound was his thing as he's by nature daring. He took him to his room and he rested. It didn't take long before his parents heard about a criminal Ian's harboring. His father came and thrown himself in to see if it's true. He found him sleeping in Ian's bed and wanted to know who he was and how they met. Kgetho just said they're new friends and Ian stepped in with a fat lie that Kgetho's there to check if his grandmother wasn't buried at their farmstead. His father bought it and left.
They later went to the servant's cemetery to allay concerns and suspicions and it worked. Ian and Kgetho somehow clicked to an extent of Ian asking him to call home to inform them he's fine and if be, stay a day or two. Kgetho wasn't that sure about him but just gave it a benefit of his doubt and Ian didn't disappoint. At the end he ended up staying for two weeks and drove together to his home.
Ian enjoyed a warm welcome and stayed the night. The two became friends. Kgetho was studying plumbing and had already helped Ian with stopping leaks in their irrigation system, something that Ian thought hard about. He proposed they provide services for irrigation system in nearby farmsteads and Kgetho dropped out to pursue that with him. Access to the target market was made easy by the fact that the Roodts were long time farmers and were respected among the farming community, including in Orania. Asking Ian why wanting to do that with him, said he knew there was more to their finding each other and this maybe the reason why, and only fate will tell. They shared his cottage.
They worked as partners and in time Ian's sister fell for Kgetho and Ian was happy and supporting their relationship but their parents weren't. Roodt senior furiously said he knew it from the beginning Kgetho was up to no good, and today was showing his true colors, a criminal that sneaked in to steal his sensually untempered daughter. His daughter was by then head over heels with Kgetho and him too showing same feeling.
The issue tore the farming family apart and was left to Ian to restore everything to the used norm. He had a heart to head with Kgetho and arrived to a conclusion that they separate and Kgetho take the whole amount in their joint account, and go it alone. With tears, Kgetho asked if they maybe continue and him end things with his sister, but Ian said the damage is irrepressible sadly. He packed his bags and left without saying goodbye. The next morning his sister heard about what happened and called Kgetho, who said he had no choice but to leave for the sake of peace and normalcy in their home. Said he'd go back to school with the little Ian surrendered to him. That alone, turned her off and asked him to never call her again, and dropped...
Q_what is train surfing? Why was Ian's sister turned off during the telecon? Are the Roodts racially discriminant?

Scenario 84
By year end it was not taking her calls to push her message out but bulk notifications to populate her services. She was shown the best and most affordable avenue for selling her business by her sister Alice. It didn't bother her before how her sister got her ground covered so quick in marketing of her agency. Her advice really did good for her too.
Macy Kaunda is a carpenter who has been trying so hard to establish herself but not been able to. After a full year and no luck, she went back to her college chat group to check and find who may be willing to work with her, and unfortunately the first and only person who was free in the group was James Dikangwe, her crush since high school days. The duo complimented each other as James did business management while Macy a carpenter and helped a great deal because she struggled with bookkeeping.
Macy had a very insecure boyfriend, Kalushi Ozinne, who was jealous of his girlfriend and making James feel his presence whenever he was around. As a fast learner, James learnt from Macy a lot in a short space of their working together with the view that they won't last given the boyfriend's behavior. In just a few months they were starting to be noticed. Macy was good at drawing, a skill she afined after technical drawing lessons.
One evening she drew a guy and put his portrait in her notebook. In the morning Kalushi passed by to check on her and see if she may need him to accompany her. They had a talk about purchasing a new laptop for their administration work to be done everywhere James was. And she opened the notebook to show him her budget. Kalushi saw the portrait and quickly realized it was not him drawn but someone who fits that being James, and voiced his suspicion of that. She laughed it off and told him she drew it out of boredom and that no, it's not James.
Days later Kalushi found out that James has a girlfriend called Rose Kalimba and with observation of how she'll react told that to Macy who looked disappointed. When he asked why she's having a long face, she said she's thinking about work stuff. It was obvious she's not happy about what she heard. When they were about to depart she received a call from James and she wasn't her usual bubbly self, and after dropping Kalushi asked what's wrong. He was glad and rubbing salt to the wound.
Macy's business was starting to turn a profit and with that Kalushi was advising her to invest it while James told her to buy more equipment in preparation for her growth. The differing opinions made her weigh the thinking of the two and in the end felt James was right. Kalushi felt angry with her decision that she went against him and listened to a worker who doesn't know anything about business. It became clear to her that he wasn't going to accept defeat from James and he one morning paid him a visit to warn him to stay away from his girlfriend otherwise he'll deal with him. James took it light and said nothing to her employer as he knew there's nothing between them. Then a big job came in from a different province that needed them to be away for a couple of days, about two weeks to be exact, and Kalushi wanted to go or Macy cancel it if not going have to go with her. Macy sent James alone and quickly hired a person to go work with him to avoid trouble as she was starting to read more into her boyfriend's behavior.
After a week and a half James and the new recruit were done and on their way back another job came from an other different province. It was showing they're doing good. James advised that they should start saving for a business vehicle so in future they have flexibility and better access to some places with ease and on time, but Kalushi told her James wants a car for his own selfish reasons and as a result shouldn't have it at that point. Macy's sister said to her that she best have James as partner since he was good in thinking than her insecure control freak of a boyfriend, and that if it were her, would've long left him for someone like James.

Macy's sister said to her that she best have James as partner since he was good in thinking than her insecure control freak of a boyfriend, and that if it were her, would've long left him for someone like James.
The following day it became vivid to her that their relationship wasn't healthy and she dumped him. When demanding reasons for the breakup she told him it's for her future outlook, he didn't fit in her new dream. He then asked if James had a space in that future and she said as an employee yes he was. The tall light skinned one was riled. He proposed they iron it out the follow day.
When he got to her home found out he was late as she had left for the central region to go join the workers there. Seeing that he had no money on him, he went back home and borrowed his father's bicycle and rode to there for the better half of his day and got there by 19:45ish. He heard her say it's a job for fitting cabinets and doors for a new government complex in Lilongwe. He asked around until he got the direction right at some intersection filling station. At exactly 20:23 he arrived at the site and got mad to not find them there. He asked for their whereabouts from the security personnel but drew nil out of them as they weren't permitted to give off any information without authority.
He was forced to wait but was told he couldn't do it there and to go elsewhere like a police station for safety, and was directed there. He got there and told them his story and was given a cell to sleep in and something to eat. One officer asked him why follow them if not her, and what his intention was as he sensed a bad feeling about the whole story. The following morning he was up early and went back. Getting there he didn't find them and waited there but no show up. He started doubting he was at the right place and rode around asking if there's another new building except that. He went to all other sites in that part of the city in early afternoon when his mind set him back to that first site. He was angered as he got lost going back. At the end he was back on track and arrived.
To signal to him that they were there he saw by the giggles from the security personnel. They didn't allow him in and called James instead of Macy. Upon seeing him his blood boiled and told him he doesn't want anything to do with a cheater and wanted to see his future wife not him. James with due respect apologized and went to call Macy who got angry seeing him. She began by asking what was he doing there while him demanded to know why they were hiding from him since morning if not from yesterday? Security personnel got to intervene and asked for him to leave or face their forceful action of removal from site. He shouted for lunch money but his request fell on deaf ears.
Inside, she narrated to James what went on. The last thing was when she heard him and asked he repeat himself on and that was that he wasn't having a relationship with Rose but that they were cousins. Startling to her, she told him how she wasn't sure of how to break it to him but he interjected by saying "I know and I love you too" and held hands after a hug dry of a kiss, saved for later when off from work. She also asked if it would make sense to work as business partners moving forward? He said it was long time coming.
They went back to work and forgot about the obsessed psycho waiting outside. On knocking off their taxi came and took them to the hotel. They weren't aware he was following them. He could tail them thanks to high traffic volume at that hour. Macy was so happy and feeling she had wasted her time but time wasn't right maybe. She pinched herself over and over. Just on arrival at the hotel he got in and jumped on her. With a jab the new recruit who was a boxer knocked him down.
Unawares, the hotel staff out of ignorance gave Kalushi a chance to run after James and with a pair of scissors stabbed him twice from the back. He bled profusely internally and by the time help arrived was late. He died on the scene. Hearing her cry after told they lost him, Kalushi ran out and forgot his father's bicycle and relied on his feet to take him where nobody will find him. He was later arrested and charged with murder at the very police station he slept at the previous night.
The police officer that spoke with him came in to talk to him after calming down and shivering. He listened to the events of his day's version leading up to the end with him getting arrested. He put it to him the true happenings that left him full of regret and shame. He got to learn that they came in late on that day because the tiling job was finished late and to have them come in at 13:00 to check if they have dried and fit doors. Again, it was a shame to him to know and be informed that the security footage is there to refute his claims about James cheating with his wife as they were sleeping in different sections of the hotel and that the hotel was booked for them by the government as opposed to his claim of Macy having done that so they could have a nice time.
Kalushi asked for forgiveness and blamed Macy for the breakup that now had led him to where he found himself shackled for murder. On hearing from Macy the sad news, Alice felt guilty and apologized. They both knew that he at least died happy and in love though was for some hours. On his court appearance he pleaded guilty and never wanted to be represented by a lawyer so it be a quick process. His father wanted nothing to do with him whilst his mother never wanted to speak to him in court. He regretted.
Macy kept the business running and to avoid going under again, sought help from an accounting firm and had a virtual bookkeeper for her business. She hired James's mother to be their cleaner at their newly opened office. She did fine until she too collapsed and died on the scene four years later. Alice took over and continued with the business but never grew it as focus was on her agency before the carpentry one. Kalushi's father died later on and on her visit to inform him, his mother couldn't recognize him as he was disfigured. His teeth were all gone and one ear torn from results of constant inside fights he had with fellow inmates. Her mother didn't take long after her husband and too followed. His siblings buried her without his knowledge and went on with their lives as if he was non-existent.
Q_was Alice wrong to advice her younger sister like that? What actually made Kalushi hate James? What may be the cause of Macy's death?
Scenario 83
Saah was a very proud woman. She was lucky to have met a very tolerant rich man who ended up marrying her, with the hope that through marriage she'll be a better person but not. His love for her made him an outcast in his family. Saah didn't care less about her husband's sad battle with him for choosing her over them.
Saah's husband, Zayn De Bona, was a mall manager and a preacher at their church. One day Saah came home with a boy called Teri and told her husband how he needed assistance and a shelter, and that she thought of him staying with them if it's not a problem. Zayn asked why him as there're others who do need such help like him, and she said the boy's sob story is similar to the one about her friend, and Zayn accepted him.
Saah had a business and she suggested to Zayn how about Teri be their assistant in their home and her business to pay back for the help he received. Zayn loved that idea and they put him on probation, of which in just three weeks was like a glove to a hand in their lives. Zayn started being hard on him and then realized he was respectful and humble. He was so proud of him that he even gave him his heart. Teri was twenty, and very slim framed, with a beautiful smile that complemented his young flowy face. He was so reliable and trustworthy.
As the adopted son now, Zayn taught him to even drive, so he can take his younger brother and sister to school, shopping and at times drive him to work and church. Then one day their church cleaner came in because of seeing Saah's car parked outside. She knocked but there was no answer and she decided to go knock in the back door. Passing by the bedrooms, she heard funny noises and checked what was wrong, only to peep on Saah and Teri in bed together through the small opening on the curtain. She took out her phone and recorded the portion of their act and went back.
The following day she went to their household again and as usual held a prayer session together. They're used to holding hands when praying, and on that day the church cleaner chose to hold both Zayn and Teri by being in between them, and Saah became angry and started fighting her behind to get her not to hold Zayn's hand. Zayn suspected their animosity but got no answer when asking both aside. The church cleaner a few days later confronted Saah and battle lines were officially drawn.
In the morning the church cleaner came by to find Teri reversing Zayn's car to ready it for him on his way out to work, and had a small chat with him. Saah saw her through the window and went out to attack her, telling her how ashamed she should be for trying to abuse and pollute the mind of a young innocent worshiper. With guilty eyes, Teri quickly got out of the car and went straight into the house to hand Zayn his car keys, and into his room. He wasn't comfortable anymore. Outside, as Saah was also on her way out, promised to come back to deal with the church cleaner after work, and got into her car and drove off. Out of spite, the church cleaner went into the house and asked for a minute from Zayn and showed him the footage, of which he froze and fell. His laptop bag dropped and broke the glass table in their sitting room. He was taken to the hospital and spent five weeks there.
Out of hospital, the first thing he did was file for divorce. With shame she had no nerve to contest it and they went separate ways. But, because of children, they kept contact. The divorce lasted nine years until they got back again for the sake of their children to try and start over again, though was hard for him to be fully in as he still had flashbacks of their first failed attempt. Reason for that being that they separated without a sorry ever uttered by her except Teri who did so after being told what transpired, and into the thin air he was, a history wished away by the hurt man who put his whole in it. He too was hurt by what they did to Zayn but was late and no circumstances were in favor of such sentiments.
Saah kept her business on but because it was partly a success due to Zayn's influence on people, without his face and voice behind the marketing of it, things didn't go as before but she kept on regardless. Defying his family again, he got Saah move in with him to win full love from his children. It was no longer about him but for their children. The good thing was none actually moved on during the separation.
As he never got to fully heal and recover from the betrayal by his ex wife, he went to his lawyer to seek advice going back in. The lawyer advised that he do a prenuptial contract and he'd help him going forward, and they agreed. Saah, because of pressure to make amends the second time around, agreed to Zayn's terms and had his lawyer come in to sign the marriage contract. They slowly worked on their lives as a couple again but was different from all angles. Zayn took some time to really get warmed up and but finally got gelling in the end of their third year together. During all that time Saah was patiently well behaved and so loving. Zayn fell in love again and still failed to fully erase the experience, he was always on guard.
Years on into their cruise Saah got seduced by another younger business manager for a company she was a client to. The young man happened to be the son of the owner. One day she met with him and he was with the father and Saah couldn't resist the power that hit her in an instance that she ended up crossing floors to the older one and but kept her younger lover pampered, though in smaller pipes than been before. The son found out and ended his involvement in the loop and but never said anything to his father about his new love interest.
The business owner was friends with Zayn's boss, and one day sent him a pic of him and Saah. Zayn's boss purposely made him aware of what his wife does with other men. In a week's time, Zayn's boss arranged for a meeting with Saah and passed a remark at her that made it clear to her that her husband is suspicious of their relationship. Saah out of trying to work it out poisoned her daughter against her father to concoct a story that he sexually abuse her but that never worked. On the other side, because he was a divorcee, the business owner mentioned a talk of wedding bells after reliably been told of her marriage regime and that got Saah to boldly tell Zayn she's about to file for second divorce on their marriage.
In the fall of days, the lawyer made time and asked for Saah to come with her lawyer, but she didn't and instead brought her young cousin whom she claimed to be knowing all about the law. He asked for him to record the whole session with his video camera, and she agreed. The lawyer asked her to bring her copy of their marriage contract and she went upstairs and quickly back with it. He asked she give it to her cousin to peruse and then discuss its contents, of which he did. He then said he's done and ready to assist his cousin. The lawyer pulled out a small piece of paper and they saw was an affidavit from their daughter stating in it how her mother tried poisoning her against her father for her own selfish gain. She said nothing and asked they skip to the divorce terms in their marriage.
The lawyer told them to look at the contract and tell him what's written on it, and they each told him it's written prenuptial contract of marriage between the two, and he repeated that three times in a row. Not getting it, Zayn asked why is he doing that and the lawyer said there was never any marriage between the two and the know-it-all cousin should've picked that up by then if he were good as he claimed to be. The statement infuriated him and demanded the lawyer to explain himself.
The lawyer calmly asked them to read the watermark in the document, and that got him swearing at his cousin about how foolish she was to have signed a sample document of their marriage as it's written "specimen" in underlying bold. Retaliating against her cousin, said he too was more than a small dicked lowlife wannabe who siphoned off thousands of dollars from her for nothing. The cousin said she was glad to open up her parliament to him and that she was never his type and also that his dear girlfriend is waiting for him at home, by then upping and leaving her to deal alone with her shenanigans.

The cousin said she was glad to open up her parliament to him and that she was never his type and also that his dear girlfriend is waiting for him at home, by then upping and leaving her to deal alone with her shenanigans.
Saah was reminded that the house she sheltered under belongs to Zayn and as such she'll have to pack and leave that very minute and she said she's going to her new home that's triple the size of his boxy shack in Malibu. And again, the big car she's driving was deposited by her and the instalments paid for by him and as such should settle that too before she drove off. She took her phone and asked how much and she transferred it same time. She stormed out without her children as they by then wanted nothing to do with her.
One week exactly passed, and she was full of regret as the love of her life wasn't really into her but her assets, and had dumped her after it emerged that the alleged cousin was found to be a toy twink of hers who happened to have coughed out a bucket full of sins on what transpired on the day of the divorce set down. The man got to know about how her business is bleeding from her profits burn and how she survived through alimony all along and now on her own, so, he didn't want a burden into his fruitful life. Saah was frustrated and had to sell a large portion of her business and some group of investors bought it and within two months wanted her fully out as she added no value at all, and she took the money. She invested it in a small hair care products manufacturing and distributing company.
She bought a two roomed flat and stayed there with a much younger blood and a very small car that strikingly reminded her of the day she asked her sister and mother how they were breathing inside a moving coffin with her three kids in there, but despite all that she was happy to be sad away from the eyes of those she knew in LA. She got by but life was different and tiring with her constant fights for her young bear with milfs baying for his youngling blood. She lived in regret while on the flip side things were up for Zayn and the children.
Q_if were in Zayn's shoes, would you have gone back with Saah after that betrayal? Do you think Saah will dare to go back to Zayn in future? Has Saah ever loved Zayn? What was she not getting in Zayn?
Scenario 82
The farming community and family together with some friends of her parents weren't happy with the decision she made. Hardly a year ago, was she waving to them a goodbye for the last time. Yenna is an adopted child to both the deceased Lawrence and Ellen Pattini.
Yenna's been left a farm that her parents used to farm commercially. The farm has been in their family for some time now, about two decades. Yenna is a different thinker as compared to her late parents. She dropped from her studies to run the family farm. At first the family was happy and proud of her. The only trouble was that she was single and having failed the adoption criterion with the agency citing stability and family model setup not ideal for the child adopted.
As time went on, the family arranged for a marriage between her and Abedi. His family is respected in the community as his father, Thabiti Omondi was a school principal and his mother a nurse. His twin brother is a chef who travels the world preparing edibles in cruise liners. Yenna was the only child, something that is not a norm where they lived. Abedi is third in six of two girls born before him.
Abedi is a new age sculptor. He worked mostly with malleable materials for 3D sculptures. His dream was to have an art gallery and a woman who'll understand and support his career path. In Yenna he found that. Sadly she wasn't in love with him, she just tolerated him as he was her family's choice. But as days gone by his charm rubbed on her. She loved that he never meddled in her business and she in turn respected his space. They were good together but not in love.
Slowly Yenna fell for him and he noticed that. What she didn't notice was that he had already fallen for her, pity he never got to initiate intimacy with her, biding his time for the ripe season and that was now showing. Yenna grew to respect him just for that, not imposing himself on her. Abedi was gentle and patient, a rare trait lacking in men she lost bits of her heart for, but now beating comfortably in the rhythm of Abedi.
One day while at the library, Yenna stumbled upon a piece of information that interested her about her country's lack of energy in its power grid. Eyeing it as a dye to her opulence hungered brain balance, she followed up on it until she met up with a source that directed her to the lead roler of that piece. A month later she was signing tailored papers defined in reign pages as land lease for a coues quarterly dividend to her and the family in an APPLUS (Alternative Power Production Land Use Scheme) deal with the national power supplier and the Kenyan government. In the deal she gets to keep half the money and give half to the family, but they didn't know. As a benefit to them, their household will be re-electrified and remain powered for free forever.
She called a family meeting to inform them about the next chapter of the farm and they got out with insults one after the other. Abedi was pained by some of the utterances his wife received that he ended up exchanging bitterness with them. She acted tough but felt stronger thanks to her husband. That strengthened her bond with him. She was madly smitten with him and for the first time saw him in a different light, and from then on knew she's in love with him, and the reason being that she's got a hero she can surrender her fears to and entrust her vulnerable fragility with. Abedi was doing his bit as a husband and not knowing he scored big in the process.

Abedi was doing his bit as a husband and not knowing he scored big in the process.
That very night the oasis of merit became an age old choice only an alter alma could let nature have it's own with. She surprised him with her uncovered expression of her private bareness. Her bewildering endearment pulsated a catchment of vibrato none could haul out of a sleepy soul as hers. Abedi was left augured in virtual reality of their actual scene, losing himself in the walls of sacrecy unburred by palatic ilia. His girth shrunk to the comfort of a velvety snuggling cuddle-passage decorated in his swarf. For a moment time froze on them and skipped to future. It was so perfect for both of their droughts.
Since that day their love was unlocked. It became obvious to everyone they were no longer asame. Three months came to fruition and the family received its first payout and, miraculously emerged ululating with smiles now calling her their clever child, no longer a waste of scrub semen their brother should've looked over for better others.
Nine months later she welcomed a healthy beautification of a she sole that was named after her mother, Ellen. Abedi and Yenna had another girl and was named after his mother Wawira. With the proceeds they had the chance to travel the continent and invest in art projects in support of Abedi's passion. A few months later Abedi started a podcast where he taught his craft and sold his art pieces on. They were living their lives happy and in a fulfilling marriage.
Q_if it were you, would you have shared your inheritance accruals with your family? Would you adopt a child if you're qualified to do it? What do you think is Yenna's passion?

Scenario 81
Zjarrta R loved money from the day she was born, and that taken after her mother Dhiar. The two were inseparable. Zjarrta was a very known yoga dance girl who frequented clubs with dancers in them. She loved dancing with all of her heart and soul. Her moves freezed some guy quiet and naughty by the name of Saban Hoxha.
One day he made advances to her and he court her. She wasn't a tough crush to claim, and soon they dated and within months the 26 year old was tied in a knot with the 23 year old. Their relationship was not a complicated affair, they were simply married friends who loved partying. They were out to party every single weekend. During the week both went to their work and met later in the day. Time together wasn't that much for them.
Saban ran a designer studio, was a model and conducted classes at the local college and also at the community center. He was passionate about passing on skill and knowledge to the newer breed. He was the man responsible for the two tie wearing trend. He set trends in the past but this elevated him. Today, allover the world people are wearing two different ties at the same time because of his craze. His trend took the corporate world by the horns and shook it to no same. Just yesterday, the president of the sports federation was wearing a blue tie over the maroon tie, and he looked elegant.
His wife, Zjarrta was a chef. Saban had a playboy cousin, Fisnik, whom Zjarrta strongly disliked of all his relatives reason being his behaviour of breaking girls hearts and not seeming to care. When together with Saban you could tell there's a dense dislike of each. Fisnik has a security company that's doing well because of the pandemic regulations imposed. Lockdown meant more security personnel to safeguard assets and other valued possessions both by private and public sectors. Fisnik was coining it with brown sacks on the low.
Because of her husband's financial struggles, Zjarrta decided to act up on her strong desire to be alone with Fisnik, and for long Fisnik been biding his time for it. On their first date Zjarrta's younger brother saw them and to his amazement they were too friendly to each other and decided not to even go and greet. It wasn't clear if Saban was with them or not. One day Zjarrta's brother passed by and mentioned that incident which took him by surprise why Saban didn't know about it yet everybody knows that the two are oil and water.
They played it safe for a long time until Saban caught them red handed and out of panic Fisnik jumped out of her car and fled on foot. Afraid their secret will be exposed, Fisnik paid an illegal immigrant to take Saban out of circulation and he did. When going to the scene to verify, to his discomfort, the assassin came back and demanded his balance right there on the scene. He transferred it and soon a bullet went straight into the back of his head, and he was gone. When Zjarrta arrived on scene to collect his cellphone, got stressed as it was nowhere to be found. She saw that the assassin didn't take anything after the hit but only Saban's phone was there.
Rumours started spreading and that made the stress levels clock the upper knots of unhappiness. Not long the police became regulars at their home and but with many missing pieces of the puzzle in that Zjarrta never went to claim any benefit from any insurance company as if she's clueless about them. Only Fisnik's fiancee and family claimed. The police after some serious digging cooperated with the insurers to set the bait for Zjarrta as they made contact with her for the unclaimed policy benefits, and she said they can keep them as they won't bring back her man. But then, after the other insurer said there's a woman who lodged a claim on the benefit, she changed her tune and wanted the funds to be processed and transferred to her quick. The insurer denied her that and she demanded a set down with the woman. Unbeknownst to her, the woman was an undercover agent. The meeting was arranged.
On the day, the insurance agent was there to facilitate the meeting. Due to strict regulations, they couldn't get close to each other and Zjarrta was throwing threats like they were going out of fashion, vivid she was baying for her blood. She demanded to know where she stayed and twice never wanted to say until with assurance from the insurance agent that nothing will happen to her and her son. The insurance agent who also happened to be a police agent, got the woman to give Zjarrta her address and without a word Zjarrta upped and left in a huff.

The insurance agent who also happened to be a police agent, got the woman to give Zjarrta her address and without a word Zjarrta upped and left in a huff.
The same night a man with a gun visited the given address in Don Bosco. Not knowing Zjarrta was on a bait, the man knocked and heard no answer from inside. He then broke the window next to the door and forced in. It was once he was in that he got a nasty surprise. The man was ushered into the arms of the law officers and same time confessed to being an illegal immigrant who's been hired by madam to take care of her problem. Immediately he was taken to the police station to make a statement and be formally arrested and charged. They made him call Zjarrta to tell her the job was done and when will the balance be paid, of which she unknowingly confessed in a recorded call that tomorrow morning she will effect it.
Twelve minutes later she was answering a door knock to her arrest. She tried calling her lawyer but said to her not to cause any drama and go with them as he will follow soon to Drejtoria e Policise. Once there, there was nothing he could've done for her except help her with a statement. She was detained. The time news broke of her arrest and detention, headliner was new info that surfaced about records of social media chats in Fisnik's phone revealing deception via leaks anonymously. It was brought to light that Zjarrta was cheating on her late husband with the husband's late cousin, Fisnik, who was the owner of a well known security company.
Also, adding to the damage was a text from Zjarrta to Fisnik telling him to write an SMS in his cousin's phone asking for forgiveness for laying a hand on her so she could siphon something out of him as he had a problem of forgetfulness. It emerged that she used to do such with her friends on him. Fake accusations were always levelled against him but because of love for her never said anything to anyone with the hope that she'll change albeit for the worst.
Her case, was high profile and she was convicted. She got into the hole for life. With none left to continue, saban's family took over the business of design and but failed at rescuing it as in five months they gave in to their failure. The business was bought by a foreign national for its fraction and rebranded it 'Guy n Design'. Zjarrta's mother thought her matured dermal layers of booty will appeal to the parole board. Dhiar seduced those men and had them have their way around her seasoned curvedonias, but didn't come back with anything out until she accepted her daughter lost. Because of pressure inside, Zjarrta was allegedly reported as having had committed suicide.
Guy n Design failed to grow as per projected forecasts, and on the fourth year was sold to an affluent family and struggled to scale up but held on to its position. If only Saban were still alive, the growth plan could've been drawn. The business is to date as just one of the many design outlets to go to in Tirana.
Q_can wearing two ties at once be a cool fashion statement? Who took the phone at the crime scene? Before Guys n Design, which name would you've given it to that business?
Scenario 80
Titus heard by the tailpipe acoustics that today his wife, Onika being dropped by a supercar or hypercar. As he peeped out the window, saw the button-grey monstrous e-hybrid 9-pot offset 5.2L 8-speed quick shift manual Qwerky B-Shape pulling off. The car has a semi-detachable half moon flat bottom steering wheel with boost buttons on each end (green on left for eco drive) (red on right for sport mode) and if both disengaged leaving the car driving in default mode.
The hyper seats are made of plywood base and surfaced with thick treated rubber with carbon fibre inserts with underlying sponge for comfort support. The sprint to 100 kph is in 2.89 secs flat. The car weighs 1,22 ton laden. Instead of the usual 8-speed ZF transmission, it deploys an asymmetric 8-speed quick shifting optitronic-manual. Instead of the gearlever, there's a 25° tilted touchpad with hologram shiftmap that lights up on starting the car. The handbrake is replaced by two pins, one for flat surfaces and the other for uneven ones. The powerplant is a unique 777kw, 1104 n.m dubble Z configuration 9-cylinder 48valves. Front tyres are 295/35/19 and 335/30/20 at the rear. A car reinvented indeed. It drives like no other in the world. Onika is part of the team that does homologations at UntimedLimits Gmb, an agency that is contracted to CEN.
Before she knocks, the door opened and out with excitement Titus shouted "what an organised piece of engineering,,,the B-Shape" straight to the street to see it disappear. Came back to ask her how it drives and she said it's a noisy solidly built car she wouldn't ever dream of making it her own. Said it's flipping rapid, 8-speed manual, with her only cool feature being the breathalyzer on the steering wheel center. Other than that it's just a big flat car.
The next morning, the grumbling hypercar came again to collect his wife. He jumped out of bed and luckily Onika was a bit late and got a chance to chat up the driver, and discovered he's the test driver for all their cars. He gave him a business card. Onika came and they were off to approval for its suitability for the European market.
In the coming days Titus called the firm for an appointment, and they met. They had no plans to hire another person as there been no opening, so he asked to volunteer. Qwerky is a smart yet small car and speedboat manufacturer that produces sports cars and quirky speedboats. They have 4 models in their catalog namely A-Shape, B-Shape, C-Shape and D-shape (a hyper lorrytruck that is a 7 seater convertible with a hardtop), and for the boat side only one model, the Q Glide (with regular base or long base). Titus was welcome though the HR Manager said he won't be of use to them but can see what he can do to make self useful.
Titus spent his first day taking observing and spotting his slots. From the second day he was on helping with this and that, and the staff over the days warmed up to his usefulness. On the day of celebrating the new B-Shape launching, told media and colleagues the history of the car and the Qwerky brand. He is a true aficionado. It went on for four months and his sick mother-in-law who needed someone to care for her came to stay with them. As a result, he asked at work to stop so he could take care of her. The HR Manager said: "it's fine, you won't be sorely missed. Bye" and both laughed.
Within the first week the HR Manager's office was busy fielding staff questions about where he went and why they let him go, because he helped a great deal. The HR Manager didn't follow-up on their concerns until Production Manager tabled his report in the preceding quarter about low productivity since Titus went away, and the curve also showed that he brought with improved productivity. The two managers met with others to find out what they were missing about Titus' role and the HR Manager interviewed TEAM leaders to find out what is now wrong.
One thing they all pointed out was that Titus ran the whole floor from reception to dyno to despatch relieving those pressed and introduced water to stations touch, always asked how one is doing every other time he came to each's post or station. Only Titus knew how many sugars each pour into their tea or coffee, when to bring one medication, all about their family situations and solutions; every little thing he did, saved them time, kept spirits up and knew everyone by name, something the management didn't display. He cared. He was a friend they never had in the workplace, hence the low morale after he left without a word.
Without hesitation, the company's management contacted him to come back and found that he's still taking care of his mother-in-law. They arranged for him to have a maid at the cost to company and he was back as an employee this time with a title. He signed in as the Employee and Production Support Manager. To management's surprise, all service providers and guests applauded the company's move. The morale was back to where he left it and gradually increased as he now had authority. He was literally the care giver of the company.
As EPS Manager he had a company phone, tablet and vehicle. In his first year with Qwerky, it became the European employer of choice and won an award for the best company to work for in Germany. Onika was so proud of him and followed him everywhere he went whenever she was free.
Q_do you think Onika loved Titus the same way she does now? Is everyone important in the workplace? What title can you give this scenario and why?
Scenario 79
Her new business, XZX Bodyscaping is a symbol of her spirit, energy and being. It is so close to her heart than the other three. The name, as usual, in terza rima, follows the pattern as in 121 Beauty Spa and SOS Gym, and Hair n Her Nails. Her life partner, Larry Higgs, is an incumbent director at a sugar mill, Sweeta. Florence Rinaul, better known as Flo, is now living her passion.
For Florence and Larry, their history is one of dreams. The two met in a police station where they sat next to each as they await to be charged. Larry was in for traffic violations and Florence for harboring illegal immigrants, a charge she was later acquitted on. Larry paid his admission of guilt and was off the hook.
Four years later they're stay-in mates with one year old girl child, Iris. Flo's new venture, XZX Bodyscaping, is a adult grooming business. She does body wash, oil bath, nude yoga, body shaving and skin 2 skin rub which includes tension relief if needed. It became popular in the underworld than it was originally thought as their clientele opted for body shaving and skin 2 skin rub, and almost all of them where men. Performed in sound dead squircles, it has kinky benefits to it that made it a hit, the pleasantries of the session ending.
XZX saw her power rise as she serviced men and women of different statuses and descents, she became connected to the influencers and powerholders. She made sure none got to be involved sexually with her. She trained her staff to be like that so the clientele kept coming back, and they did in droves. To retain her staff, she had multiple incentives which the most rewarding being the daily target exceed. Should you reach your daily target, the rest you make gets shared in 50 each split with the staffers.
Steadily she became close with decision makers in government that it became easy for her to push her thinking towards some non-core decisions. She enticed but not engaged. She knew how to use sensuality in a low key manner. She once had an important engagement with a very highly placed official in the presidency that got so hooked that he even secured Larry a spot. Larry couldn't believe it the day he stepped into his new office where he worked with a ministerial team as a PA to the Chief of Staff.
Larry was now an important figure in family and political circles that he forgot who placed him there. He started being less intimate with Flo as he had a severalfold of affairs. He thought he was powerful. It got to a point where Flo made her inroads into the pants of the deputy president and after a steamy scene, agreed on reversing Larry and, in just a matter of days a scandal hit the press and he was forced to step aside.
Realizing her hold on the powerful, Flo got her claws in on the prime target and earned seriously as he brought his peers to the party to join in the fun. Larry got a job at a small company and none remembered anything about him. Seven weeks later he got involved in a car accident and was declared dead on the scene. Upon investigations, it was clear he purposely veered off into the gorge to end his life.
His family blocked Flo from burying him and she never fought them as they weren't married and not understanding in acknowledgement their arranged living. She even wanted for them to keep their home to compensate for the unclaimable life cover due to the nature of his death, but they were too embarrassed to act on that. Flo kept on regardless and flourished.
Q_what does terza rima mean? Why did Larry choose to commit suicide? Was Florence right in wanting to give Larry's family their home?
Scenario 78
Prof. Robert Yates Jnr never liked being second best at whatever he was into. He was a very competitive man. Robert was a vice-chancellor of Fick And Broudsn University of Human Sciences. He was an impatient yet tolerant academic. The university's chancellor was on his way out and him already eyeing the position as he endured for 4 years as his senior though he's more qualified than him. Robert had three degrees while the chancellor had two.
The university's board announced there's a specific person that they were looking at as the possible candidate deserving the top spot. The news were not good for Robert as the suggested candidate was an academic who was a threat to his ambition and whom was also supported by the university's senate. The suggested candidate was none other than Prof. Eckson Curtis. Eckson was giving him sleepless nights because of three reasons; 1) he had 7 degrees to his name, 2) he was 6 years younger than him, and lastly, he was the first black candidate to be suggested for the position,,,he was the pride and hope of the black community inside and outside campus.
Robert wasn't racist, but genuinely worried that the odds were against him as he couldn't punch above his weight any longer. But one thing up his side was that he was very connected. Robert tried discouraging Eckson to continue with his acceptance as the nominated candidate and but stiffened his neck.
Through his connections, Robert found something to use against him to make him consider pulling out of the race 15 weeks before election day, a campaign to close taps on Eckson's akins. They were losing their jobs like it was fashionable to do so. All his siblings and in-laws were then dependent on his lone salary as a professor and that of his wife as a despatch manager at the local hospital.
With pressure 5 days before election day, he secured an appointment with a priest who arranged for a prayer circle session to break the chains of his family's curse. The following day a psychic told him he needs to mute his wishful ambition as it comes at the cost of his siblings and their spouses' happiness. He got told that he too won't enjoy his stay up there as he'll experience the coldest winter of his career.
3 days before elections, Eckson visited Robert to inform him he's no longer in the running, and asked for his and his family's mercy. Robert said he will restore his family situation upon Eckson's withdrawal with a speech that endorsed him as the perfect candidate. On election day Eckson did as promised and to everyone's surprise resigned from his position as a lecturer at the university. He angered everyone when he said he was never good at curriculum development and also that he never planned for the coming 4 years as it all came too sudden for him.
To date, Eckson remains as the only man to have been that qualified as a candidate and a professor in America. It was in the family front where things went from bad to worse. Eckson made a move that cost him. He tried explaining why he resigned, and things got out of hand as it appeared as though he wanted to control his siblings lives and none wanted anything to do with him anymore.
Out there, starting from the most of black students and staff members who were proud of him and supportive of his nomination, out of embarrassment and disappointment, wanted nothing also to do with him, and so did everyone. The media wrote damning stories and what to him made sense was to close himself indoors and find his peace there to avoid his shame. Thing was, wherever he went he got nasty looks from the general public that weren't comfortable for him. None understood his position and none was willing to hear him out. Everything was just too much for him to bear.
The better part was that all his siblings' lives went back to normal. None of them saw that as his sacrifice. A year and a half later, he wrote an opinion piece about his ordeal titled 'Black child, know your place'. The controversial reveal article was the only piece he had ever written and the best article to sell that newspaper in its history. The paper was selling 3,79 million copies a day, but because of that article sold 11,42 million. Sadly none got to buy and read it.
The public loved and praised him for the angle he put his piece. He wrote questioning him why quit while a his vice-chancellor he could've supported him in any area of difficulty like he did with the outgone chancellor. Said also that he could've at least opted for the position he was in of vice-chancellor with him as the chancellor. The best part in that article was where he mentioned that he's blaming himself for having failed to restrain self from doing his best at his work as it became a hindrance to his dear friend and former learnered colleague. The public went bonkers about it and spirited his popularity. When approached for interviews, he declined, citing he doesn't want to be defaming his former colleague as he knew he was called for that, and that sent a good message to the public. Robert was good.
His article made Eckson hate self and left him more bitter. There was nothing he could do, he got no influence in the publishing world. To date, Eckson remains the best none wanted to know more about even though he was the most decorated lecturer to ever grace any auditorium in any university in the whole of America. He died sad with many regrets that his wife was tired of hearing about.
On the day of Eckson's memorial, Robert wasn't invited to speak, and but was the former chancellor. When asked why he wasn't invited to speak, said he chose not to avail himself. He angered the late's wife but couldn't do anything about it. She started understanding what her husband was saying all along.
Q_what wrong did Prof. Curtis do to end up dying sad and bitter? Was Eckson right in giving in to Prof. Yates?
Scenario 77
She couldn't perform the CPR correctly because of her fright. She thought he left her for good. Of a sudden relief was her hearing from afar of an ambulance siren. She prayed hard he makes it. The EMS personnel did what they knew best and brought him back. They before taking him to the hospital, told her to in future in such an incident to let the injured person lie on their side rather than their back, to avoid them choking like she did with him.
Seven months later, Sikano, was back to his ways of extreme motorcart cross racing. Their racing gravel terrain was a stone's throw away from Vilcabamba, and accessible via the Churnberry Link. He was by then also interested in hoverbarge racing. As a storm tracker, it came natural to him.
His wife, Rita, crime scene cleanup and memorabilia broker, enjoyed being with him in all his endeavours. They were practically siamesed by love and common interests. Rita has for eleven years never stopped falling for her crush even after being in love with him. Before they dated, she reserved her side of the bed as his from the day they met. She would put and hug her pillow, and say goodnight Sikano to it every night and say good morning on every wake. To her, it's easy and true loving her man; she's in love with her love for her husband.
Their first day on their honeymoon was at Malecon beach in Havana, Cuba, which is renowned for its picturesque sunset. It was beautiful. Today, they are a decade older together, still madly in love and still supportive of one another.
Rita has a spine chilling business and Sikano worked for the Peruvian Meteorological Agency before Rita turned him into an online site contributor. He chases storms and report about his encounters with wild and raging nature's phenomena. He was making lesser money but happy to have time on his hands for more quality time with his wife.
Their decade also brought in a rough hour into their marriage as they one day received a call in the middle of a prayer meeting in Loja. Their home was on fire. It wasn't known what the cause was. They got back to find ruins. It was burnt to ground. They weren't ready for such a disaster and sadly they hadn't insured their property, only insured their incomes.
Rita operated from home, which meant she was stuck and Sikano's equipment was also charred. They were set back by this disaster. They were confused and hurt but left with either squatting with one of their families or go rent elsewhere in the meantime or build a shack in the yard. For the first two weeks they rented at motel and went back to their home where they had a shack erected.
Five months after, a friend of Rita passed by only to find ruins and promised to get them some people to rebuild their home. Said she'll take care of it if her business goes right, as long as they promise to pay her back in time, and took some pics of their place. Three months fell with no call or anything from her, and out of the blue she appeared with a new approved plan for their new home, with a building contractor to view the site.
A week after the visit, ruble clearing and excavation started. From time to time she'd go there for progress check and more pics of their place. The couple was thrilled and grateful for her help as they had no hope of building again with Sikano's salary alone. In just 102 days their newly built from ground up house was completed. When they were to go buy furniture, she said she'd loan them S/150 000 and they agreed.
Seven months into their repayment plan with her it emerged from a stranger at a supermarket they regularly shop at, that the money they're paying back isn't hers but theirs, just that Rita's friend facilitated it. She set up a fund to receive money fordonations into in the names of the couple without their consent and knowledge. It was a shock to them.
Getting out, they headed straight to the cop shop to press charges against her. It later emerged from her husband's confession that she never liked Rita and was in fact helping Sikano as he was the one who really deserved her help. On the fund, it further emerged that it was not the first one she did, she does that to maintain their lifestyle. Pity the husband was never a part as he knew his wife as a partner in the fund that helps distressed people rebuild their lives. They forgave her as she indeed helped rebuild their lives though did it wrong but were still thankful. They decided to make a U-turn on pressing charges against her.
Rita was pained that her friend was her enemy. It was reported that the whole donation figure was S/2 436 million whilst their house cost S/1 017million to rebuild. When permitted to be alone with her in the dock, her friend told her that she stole Sikano from her as she fell for him and he kept ignoring her from high school. It was a shock to hear since Sikano never even mentioned her.
At home she asked Sikano about it, only to realize truly that he wasn't even seeing anything from her. He remembered her after she narrated everything, and started remembering her. It was pleasingly assuring to her that she stood no chance at all with her man. They were awarded the money left over from the donated money and thanked everyone who helped, especially the hardware that sold material at cost price and the contractor who charged only for his equipment less the labour cost.
Q_would you forgive a friend who tried to shoot you dead? What is your ideal honeymoon destination? How can you hold a fundraiser accountable for the donations made into the set up fund account?
Scenario 76
The downtown was busy as usual, and to date the drug eradication unit still fails to hammer four drug lords ring with a permanent nail. The market was swelling with influx of import and local drugs. The club scene is showing the enforcement units dust when it comes to distribution network as they are in partnership with the pharmaceutical industry’s crooked elements. The four main drugs distributed are yaba (locally produced), krokodil (Ukraine import), cocaine (Mexican import), and nyaope (South African import).
Locally, the drug taipan is Pyae Suu Kyaw, originally from Yangon in Myanmar is a former disposer of human tissue post surgeries, and has ties with other foreign taipais from Mexico, South Africa and Ukraine. The other three gets in and out of the capital without being detected because they have an underground pipeline canal that is 67 km long they use from neighbouring Myanmar that start alongside the Three Pagodas Pass and ending in a secret caved opening. The shipment takes 3 and a half days in transit to reach the caved opening where it gets sorted and distributed.
All the parties involved are into business. Nyaope is an operation by a former navy ship captain, Admiral Jenifer ‘Nanifa’ Mpendulo, krokodil under a notorious business family, the Orban’s and in charge have put Pixov Nikol Orban while cocaine is the project of a very brutally heavy-handed brotherhood known as Los Pelo Wego, which has Elkano de Lorenzo heading Asian markets. As a syndicate, they’re known as Xux in mainland Thailand. In pharmacies they push for codeine in cough suppressant called Sienpadol and a painkiller called cordterpin. They are ingredients used for drug variations.
Pyae is a heartless boss who is capable of killing snitches and under-performing foot soldiers, and deskin them himself with the purpose of transporting their cargo through their embalmed flesh. As the queen taipon, Nanifa is a very gentle soul and less intimidating for an ex-marine soldier. The danger with her is just that when she retaliates, her scorpio genes comes to the fore and deform the low voiced serenader into a vicious predator bug. Pixov is an unfine gentleman who is trigger happy and a financial crackhead of both organizations. Elkano is the sweetest of them all. A cheerful loud mouth who parties all night long and be the first to wake up and check out the surrounding before checking with the foot soldiers. Of them all, he’s the one who never carries a gun on him and is the most heavily guarded of the quartet.
Elkano and Pyae are the ones liaising with authorities for safe and smooth operation of Xux in all CBDs they distribute at. And whenever he’s in Thailand and other Asian territories, Elkano appears in public spaces pushed in a wheelchair. Even those they deal with know him as a wheelchair bound mafia, while Pyae is always disguised. He’s not the same person twice to random ones, only those in the circle knows him. Those who are tailing him are never sure of his shape shifting technique and always fighting over his rare sight spotted in public. He’s known as the man with a thousand faces and hundred shapes. His disguise artist has fun with him all the time as at times playing pranks even on those akin to him, they’re never sure it’s him all the time. That’s how good his make-up artist is. Some believe he’s got a stunt double but to date still untested.
The syndicate’s operation was booming and they expanded into Laos. In that territory they found it hard to penetrate as the turf owners weren’t warming up to them and using the law enforcement best way they could. They were losing merchandise with every attempt they tried their hand at. The turf owners sold them out at every chance they got, it was a territory too hostile to be giving roses to. As a result they devised some means and worked with a vaccination passport machines distributor and they got a way in.
They were back to their plan. The warehouse security company boss was roped in and the cargo was safely secured all the time. In good time the pile was enough and they hit the streets with taxi operators to avoid being at corners. Club owners were also cornered and Xux soon took over the club scene with a bang as they had a variety that the turf owners hadn’t yet laid hands on. Because of pressure they were forced to negotiations for a market share as they had no choice. At first the deal was for merchandise swap but it didn’t work and at the end agreed upon a share of 70/30 on all profits made by Xux. The trouble for the turf owners was that the network of Xux wasn’t too clear to understand as they were visible but with nothing on them.
What Xux footsoldiers did was sell via word of mouth and once hooked their bitetaker hit their marked taxi and give them their fix from a bag moving with the taxi. The foot soldiers keep their ledger and so did the taxi operator as they were not opening the bag to one foot soldier. The mobile operation gathered steam to a level that the turf owners started fighting back. To avoid war, Xux agreed to another round of negotiations. This time around, they merged with the major three syndicates of Laos. The move was a win for Xux and a compromise for the major syndicates as Xux gained vital contacts in the territory and more market to tap. Again on the other hand, they could suss the territory for virgin turfs and explore new undetectable ways of moving their snow golds with ease.
Xux made more than they ever thought they’ll make. They opened a corner in the market which was a lying mine waiting a eureka moment. They entered churches and started first with one chain niche and growing it. It was the safest place to operate from. Top earners in the mix of politicians, celebrities, HNWIs frequented churches and their profits soared exponentially. They ended up having the vital contacts turned against the turf owners and them now reporting to Xux. They kept the pro-rata 25% market split deal but on their niche operations left them all out.
To win the whole market, Xux pulled in Nanifa to play all the three bosses against each other and it worked. That was the camel back breaker and the pact was left shaky and the deal was put on ice, which meant Xux was on top and controlling the rates. The move saw ex-territory owners selling each other out to gain leftovers. Two bosses went to jail and the last one turned himself in and become an affiliate of Xux. Though it was rough for him at first, he found it better than nothing as he still kept his shine and made more than before. Xux grew more and more in Laos while in other territories held their own as well. He was later on promoted to running Xux operations in his territory under supervision of the vital contacts who were now raking in more than then so they be more loyal than before, and it worked as they were not penetrable.
Q_what strategy can you name that Xux used to penetrate Laos? Is Xux safe with Nanifa’s talent?
Scenario 75
From the way his personal trainer was pissed you could tell that he was having second thoughts about their arrangement. Donnell asked for a chance with this highly acclaimed star trainer, Roulf Olson. It wasn’t surprising seeing him this impatient with his new assignee, Donnell “Bomb drop” Meyers. He couldn’t get to keep his house in order. He would make rounds at all pubs after their session to collect a dose to fix his wanting body.
Roulf has a reputation to keep and with every of his undertaken assignments he push for another clean sheet. Trouble is, the one who brought him to his training centre didn’t care about the ill behaviour of their target and him to shut and do what’s best for the fee he charged. He isn’t getting any younger and his new assignee is too fast for his pace to be tracked all the time. “Bomb drop” was a young promising extreme sporting athlete who’s been spotted by a scout who’s an agent for many other athletes in eastern Russia. He was spotted in Canada during the All-Nations-Tournament when he won gold in both skating and paragliding, and a silver in dune skiing.
The only trouble with him that seem to be a challenge to Roulf with him is his weird and crazy addictions that he seem to fail to control, which are public finger21 pop out and squeeze (he’d pull out his finger21 and squeeze it publicly or strip and scratch his crotch and squeeze his finger21), naked parades (charged numerously for public indecency) and czexvog fix (a urine mix in an empty clear glass bottle with a blue cordial pill to make a quick intoxicating drink). Thing is, both the addictions he displayed were in public. At times he’ll buy urine from strangers at pubs and out in public just for a dose of his czexvog. This behaviour made him be so unattractive to many a trainer in the extreme sporting fraternity.
The next tournament will be hosted in Hong Kong, so he’s being kept there for special training under pretence that he’ll be competing in the next A-N-T. The client that brought “Bomb drop” to the scout are planning to use him to spy for them there. There’s a big operation that they want to infiltrate and upset operations of its syndicate. Even Roulf didn’t know about that mission and so did the agent.
After two months and discipline instilled in him, the scout paid Roulf a visit to check on his athlete and leave an incentive to motivate them both, with a promise to come back two days before the event. Days went by and true on the third last day before the event came back and with a twist of events gave the athlete a quick surprise press conference that profiled Roulf too without him framed in. When done, paid Roulf his balance in full and left with his tuned athlete to Hong Kong.
Upon arrival they were wined and dined at a very expensive hotel. The agent was introduced to some guy who ordered him to drop the athlete at some old military base and leave him there, and to collect him at the same place after the tournament. When asking questions, he was shoved HK$ 40 000 to do as told, and so he did. “Bomb drop” was taken in for an intense workout with military rookies and taught the new techniques of paragliding and given a new gear. He was promised a sponsorship deal from the group of hotels he was hosted in if he performed best and followed their every lead as ordered. He was better to use than they originally thought, Roulf did an excellent job, they praised him.
On the day of the event “Bomb drop” wore that gear not knowing that there’ll a bomb attached to it and a release lever that is linked to his gloves is a lethal knob. There was a radio control that was used to instruct him and did as ordered, and indeed did wonderful tricks assisted by that gear he worn. Due to the low spectator turnout they had to abort their mission. He qualified all stages until the finals stage when he got to wear the best aerodynamic paragear which somehow weighed more than the one he worn before. This one had a camera added to it.
When it was his turn, in his
earpiece he got ordered to press a white button written boost and also the
yellow one written turbo power some few second after. From his paragear he
noticed something drop that made his gear feel a bit lighter and a few meters
back he saw an explosion and everything going ablaze. He knew he did that and
but wasn’t his intent. When landed, he was quickly shielded by some men in
black suits and ushered into an SUV sped out of the stadium where there was
chaos. He was told to celebrate as he did good and that the bosses were happy
with him for a mission accomplished. He got no time to ask questions and no
time to be made aware of what the situation is and who all those people were.
The bombing was allover the news and making headlines was his name. It was reported that he released the bomb that caused the massive explosion and that it was evidenced via a video footage in possession of the broadcasting station. Minutes later, a call was received that made everyone in that SUV turn to him with sad faces and threw him out of the moving vehicle. He was scathed, confused, afraid and disorientated. Next thing there was a price on his head for what he did. Sadly, he didn’t know the name of the place he trained at, no names of the military rookies he was with and not paid a cent for the mission.
Within a few hours he was found by the roadside exhausted from walking. He was taken to some old dilapidated building for questioning. He told them the names of Roulf and Viktor his agent. As for others he didn’t know. A few calls made and confirmation was made that Roulf did train him and had a press conference with him. Word got out to the underworld that Roulf is running a counter underground program and is suspected to be working for Viktor and as such should be eleminated.
Before it could be executed, Roulf was arrested for running an underground training program and was found dead from poisoning in his cell the following morning, Viktor was shot dead and Donnell vanished without a trace after learning that the military rookies he trained with were a private army who’re bodyguards for a ruthless underworld arms dealer named Wuji Xing. Some days later it was reported that a mildly decomposed body of a man fitting his description was found near by the runway fence at Hong Kong’s international airport in Bangkok.
Him brought in was to facilitate the bombing via orders by the clan that is fighting for a turf with Wuji, and bombing his manufacturing facilities would put his family out of business and they’d be able to push their merchandise into his territory. The three happened to be the perfect decoy and they paid dearly with their lives.
Q_what did you learn from this? Who’s responsible for their fates? Who’s life would you’ve spared between them?
Scenario 74
Tinzalo was very envious of her friend,
Minenhle. Minenhle had a smart and loving boyfriend, Skhumbuto, who had just
started his small business in the bustling city centre of Mbabane. Tinzalo’s
relationship on the other hand wasn’t going right at all. Her boyfriend was
cheating on her with high school going girls. But then, what Tinzalo didn’t
tell her friend was that she once got asked out by Skhumbuto and she refused to
because he was unemployed by then. Skhumbuto chartered forth and two years
later met and dated Minenhle without knowing she and Tinzalo were friends. What
he did always was give them space when they were together even though she
seemed fine about everything, he was still anxious about it.
As time goes, Skhumbuto’s
start-up failed and he within a space of weeks found a job at an IT company as
a tech support agent. Eight months into the job he bought a car. The progress
showed by the businessman turned employee turned Tinzalo green with envy that
she ended up telling him that he mustn’t get used to the idea of him owning a
car. As it sounded too casual to be a warning, he just laughed and said nothing
about it to anyone, not even to Minenhle.
Tinzalo learned Skhumbuto’s
route to Minenhle and one day waited at one of the stop signs and asked for a
lift from him, of which Skhumbuto did and dropped him off at home and
proceeding to check on his girlfriend. A few days later she did same again but
with a bit of a twist at the end of the lift affair. Just as he stopped the car
to drop her off, she did the unthinkable. She got out of the car screaming
“don’t touch me, don’t touch me there!!” to much surprise to Skhumbuto. Her
father was outside and so was the neighbour witnessing the act. Seeing that
it’s getting out of hand, he tried to reverse, but got blocked by concerned
passers-by with some already calling out “rapist” at him. He was showered with
some slap blessings by some who are quick to lay a hand on wrongdoers.
The police came and he was
taken in. It took longer for him to make bail, so got out only to be informed
he was sacked for AWOL. The painful part was that Minenhle believed the whole
story and wanted nothing to do with him, especially after he admitted to him
having had a history with her friend before they met but chose to never mention
it. He couldn’t fight it, he had no strength in him left for that.
As the trial started, he lost
his car to bank repo. Days later Tinzalo dropped the charges against him. The
following day she passed by his homestead and greeted him with a loud cheer.
Riled by her behaviour, he snapped and went out to the street to confront her.
He worsened his situation when he ruined his chances as there was an oncoming
car that was coming to him for his aid, a friend of his brother's whom was in the
car with his manager to offer him a chance at their firm. The manager got
pointed at their guy and demanded they pass. He later called to inform him of
that mishap, and to his surprise was told he got re-arrested after threatening
to kill Tinzalo, something that he too witnessed but not attest to.
He was bailed and someone
assisted him with a deposit of SZL 2000.00 for a lawyer’s fee, painted the
picture to the lawyer who quickly promised to get back to them in a week’s
time. What the lawyer found out was staggering. Tinzalo had a history of
dropped assault and rape cases and a further juice to the findings was that she
had three guys locked up for raping her. Truth was, they were in fact innocent,
just that they didn’t have the money she wanted from them so she cried rape and
they were arrested, tried and found guilty. He even approached the prosecution
authority about his findings and having someone who’ll assist them pro bono.
He sued Tinzalo and her
family was left with no option but to sell their house as they acted as her
surety. They moved back to their home village of Mahwalala. Minenhle went back
to him for apology which he never accepted as she never cared to give him a
benefit of doubt.
Q_was the manager wrong for not stopping to understand what was happening? If you were Minenhle, would you have gone to apologize? What do you think Skhumbuto will do with the money?
Scenario 73
Berfin "Riskos" Nubitto, a former business news presenter on tv, had failed not only as a businessman, but also as a married man. His wife, Hanaji, nee Es, who is a Moroccan born structural engineer, drove him to his untimely fate, losing his money trying to be a mogul she said he must be. The couple stay in Gdynia, in the province of Pomorskie województwo.
Berfin "Riskos" Nubitto, a former business news presenter on tv, had failed not only as a businessman, but also as a married man. His wife, Hanaji, nee Es, who is a Moroccan born structural engineer, drove him to his untimely fate, losing his money trying to be a mogul she said he must be. The couple stay in Gdynia, in the province of Pomorskie województwo.
Hanaji introduced new ways of making money into the business and gradually their bottom line improved and she was given a bigger responsibility title but never told her husband about it at first until she was a month into her new title. As a tv presenter, Riskos used to interview a lot of businesspersons whom some of were from showbiz and sportsbiz, and as a known face took advantage of that. His wife knew nothing about business either, hence her push for her husband to pursue the path. They thought his intel from those interviews was a sure bet. He used to think that fame is the core ingredient of success until reality showed him otherwise.
Hanaji came to Poland on a contract as a project administrator for the government tender to build four commissioned 5 green-star government structures. The structures were a court, a public hospital, a ministerial office complex and a police barracks with a connecting bridge to the main road next to the cop shop. It was a big contract that saw her based in Poland for 5 years.
Hanaji met with Riskos during an interview with the project manager and a couple of times later as he came to sites to report on progress made. They became close and Hanaji fell for him. She made him aware of her availability and Riskos took her up on that offer and two years later they were husband and wife.
Riskos had a bit of his own challenge going on that was troublesome to him about his take home compared to his wife's. Hanaji earned 2.4 times than he did, especially in that the money she sends home monthly make up 73% of his salary. To her it was not an issue as what mattered to her was the love between him and her, all else aside, but to him a big deal.
Seeing that he had self-esteem, she encouraged him to start his own business and be able to support his family. It grew into him to the extent of him resigning and going into business. A year and a half after, he was dry. He was up to his neck with bills and costly demands from his wife. What was laughable though, was the fact that Hanaji got a promotion and was then at 4 times the salary he made as a tv presenter, and now worse as he overpaid himself to close the gap, but got him out of the game entirely.
Down and out, she bought him a ddwebb sports car. He couldn't afford the car and but she did and she bought it for him. Riskos was bitter and feeling less of a man sitting at home doing nothing all day while Hanaji was working. As such, he didn't take the car, a move that had significant consequences for their marriage. Hanaji was now bitter too, for she bought him something expensive so it could cheer him but turned otherwise. She was sad.
The whole setup was affected and they were no longer the envy of town. Hanaji got him a job at some friend's company but he didn't take it as it was organized by her, said he wanted something that comes on merit. Day by day he became impossible for her to deal with. One day she overheard a telecon between Riskos and his former boss, and she decided to go visit her and talk woman to woman with her. The following day the former boss called him about an opportunity for him on temporary basis, and he quickly took it.
On the other hand, to save their marriage, Hanaji bought a stake in some big steel manufacturing company in Morocco and resigned. She opted for being a stay at home mom to boost Riskos' esteem as the breadwinner and it worked as he even started driving the ddwebb sports car to work. In her sabbatical, she learned about business. In seven months she bought a stake in a small construction company so she earned lesser than Riskos as by then was just given a permanent position as a content advisor.
Hanaji introduced new ways of making money into the business and gradually their bottom line improved and she was given a bigger responsibility title but never told him about it at first until she opened a third account which she diverted some of her earnings into by stop order. One day purposely left the balance statement of her main account for him to see, and that made Riskos more happier as she had far less than he had in his savings, an evidence that he's now earning more than her. Unbeknownst to him, Hanaji was still far above him.
The steel manufacturing company was paying her quarterly into an inter-bank account and by year 3 Hanaji was a millionaire and couldn't afford to show it. She then hatched a plan and bought a franchise that she ran to disguise her earnings from. She later pretended to be failing and asked for him to assist her. That was another big move in bolstering their marriage as this time he had more say and it showed signs of liquidity thanks to his recap injection. They were more happier and were back to where they were. They grew their footprint with disguised loans that Riskos didn't want to know about as long as they were growing.
Q_will you sacrifice your status and worth for marriage the same way Hanaji did? What does this scenario say about men on their earnings?

Scenario 72
1000tymz changed her fortunes and outlook on life for the better. Her mother and two sons didn't believe her life could be turned around and have her live a clean positive life of impact. Uchenna Ozwokwo lived a life of poverty for 43 years until a year ago after meeting Femi Anuka.
Femi is an import and export startup agency owner who was in the market for a PA. He struggled to find anyone as he stated that the person would be working for free as an intern. Uchenna has long failed to complete her secondary education and gave up knowing she's got zero chances of tasting what employees experience as workers, which saw her settling with selling naija-buja stock (prostitution). Femi picked her up for a talk and not interested in her stock as he was stressed about not finding anyone to assist him. Uchenna showed interest and Femi convinced her to quit the low life she's living and go be his flatmate. It took four days of sleeping on it before she took him up on his offer.
Uchenna was at first too slow to grasp everything she was taught by Femi, but as days went by got to grips with how things were done. Femi worked night and day, and with support from Uchenna had a good reputation for timely delivery times. Soon word was out about him for his professionality.
One day a meeting was set between him and a fiercely competitive Lagos based businesswoman called Asa Nyauda who is a big player in the import and export enterprises market. She was fascinated by the way 1000tymz changed her mind on how she viewed smaller operators in their space. Asa wanted to buy a piece of the action with her brother Jendu in mind. Femi didn't bite and out of scorn established an agency to rival 1000tymz and let it be run by Jendu with one goal in mind, to make 1000tymz lose their grip of the market.
The rival agency, Nairaport, took over quickly and but even with Asa mobilizing for it, failed to capture the whole market. The next spin was to have Jendu poach Uchenna from Femi. For a second it promised to materialize when Uchenna accepted a dinner date with Jendu at Kada Plaza in Benin City, with the hope of sweet talking her to jump ship but didn't work.
1000tymz was still holding tight to their market share with low bout term casualties while Jendu was distracted by his side project of 1000tymz must fall campaign. Nairaport lost its clientele due to that. Asa dug deep into the pasts of her rivals and found that Femi used to work for a development bank and resigned because of accusations of sexual harassment levelled against him by a junior staffer though was cleared after. She then paid a young woman to have a job interview with Femi and claim he made sexual advances to her in return for a job. She did so but after sensational headlines Asa dropped her and so went back to say she was paid to frame Femi and but didn't catch on as Jendu went first to the media to state that the girl was framing his rival and the police booked her in for federal perjury charges.
The next move was to expose the shady past of Uchenna's days as a street hooker. The media ran with it but Femi arranged through Uchenna's friend to have her speak at a rally about gender based violence (GBV) to say how rough it is out there for naija-buja sellers and it won her sympathy. Their plan once again failed. Asa saw that their attempts swayed more business to the rival side and abandoned the agency. Jendu failed to sustain it and ran it to the ground.
The following year Femi made Uchenna a 25% holder. Out of excitement she read it wrong and took it that Femi was infatuated by her but no. She discovered that after inviting Femi to a hotel and made him go to the room where she unwrapped some 2-year long untouched stock of naija-buja prepped specially for him and declined to grab. He was rather flattered instead and continued being colleagues and partners.

He was rather flattered instead and continued being colleagues and partners.
Nine years later, Femi bought into a freight company and sold his shares to Uchenna at a crazily discounted price. The move turned Uchenna into a Naira billionaire instantly overnight and her name and face were now a symbol of it's possible if you believe in self and work at it. Her sons were now living in the lap of luxury and gracely proud of their mother who loved them unconditionally.
Femi went on to be a humbly glorified Naira multi-billionaire mogul of note who four years later opened a school of business and taught there full-time. To everyone's surprise close to him was when he employed Asa's brother, Jendu, as the school's principal. A few months after the school received a big sponsorship deal from Asa's holdings company, Nyandu Family Holdings, out of sheer respect for the self-made man.
Q_if it were you, will you forgive Asa? What actually made Uchenna turn to the life she led before 1000tymz? How old is Uchenna now

Scenario 71
Cedric Aristano is a very religious business partner of Esther Giordano and Jean Perez, in a bottling plant they co-founded called Infrafill in Minsk, Belarus. After a tiffin with fellow seance attendees during one weekend, he felt dizzy and asked to be taken to the nearest hospital where he was diagnosed with a very rare terminal disease called Vaggarhomicytes, that but could be reversed if he be put on a special radiation extraction treatment.
Cedric Aristano is a very religious business partner of Esther Giordano and Jean Perez, in a bottling plant they co-founded called Infrafill in Minsk, Belarus. After a tiffin with fellow seance attendees during one weekend, he felt dizzy and asked to be taken to the nearest hospital where he was diagnosed with a very rare terminal disease called Vaggarhomicytes, that but could be reversed if he be put on a special radiation extraction treatment.
Due to his long stay in hospital he's now out of means to afford his medicare. He asks for a loan from Jean as he had exhausted his medical aid, personal savings, company loan and car sold. Not knowing how much he may need, Jean contacted his wife to find that out. She told him to put forth at least BYN 342 000 for the time being, of which Jean had only BYN 161 000 at his disposal. Wanting a clarity from the doctor, Jean went to the hospital to hear from Cedric's doctor how long it'll take and the chance astute of him making it.
Cedric introduced him to his patient doctor who explained to him that Cedric is diagnosed with a very rare condition that is a dangerous yellowish-red blood turning virus which to date had attacked 29 patients since its discovery in 1983, and the danger of it not being treated fully can infect the brain and cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) which is from a brain-eating amoeba called Naegleria fowleri. Of the 29 only 14 had successfully survived it by undergoing a Repulsion Treatment. The RT medication comes in the form of two pills namely Contradolicon and Vitonomorphine (VM). The only trouble is the cost of the medication of which Contradolicon costs BYN 11.7 000 a pill and VM at BYN 3 000 a pill, and should both be taken 3 times a day, while there's an RT injection that needs to be administered twice a day every other four days at BYN 6 000 a shot, called the Quadripia Pritura-ject.
As per their observation and condition of their patient, it may take up to 22 days minimum for his partner to fully recover. With all those exorbitant fees plus BYN 1.800 a day for his bed, with drips and meals charged aside, the doctor said there's an RT flush droplet that will be administered daily once before sleep for seven days after discharge to boost immunity and restoration of his bloodstream system at a flippingly staggering BYN 9 940.00 a day.
Reeling with shock, Jean went to the admin desk for payment arrangement and failed to get the hospital to start with the treatment immediately as it'll need a deposit of BYN 300 000 to get the treatment rolling. Also was that the hospital will require settlement of balance within 3 months after deposit. Knowing he won't manage to secure the much needed deposit, Jean called Esther to come to the aid of their business partner as she's capable financially. In spite of them not seeing eye to eye, Esther pledged to pay the whole amount at once and add BYN 65 000 to cover future expenses, of which Cedric rejected citing that he hates Esther for her unGodly lifestyle she leads as a lesbian.
As if it was nothing, Esther went to the hospital to visit him before settling the bill and have Cedric sign the debt liability papers. Cedric's behavior shocked everyone when he said he's rejecting her offer and that he'd rather get a loan from God than from a tainted agent of Sodom and Gomorrah, and that his God will see him through. After a brief pause, Jean asked: "what now?"and Cedric continued by saying "why would he let Esther help him while she's got her roving eye on his wife? Why would God allow for a sinner to afford his life? His soul is not for sale."
Looking him straight into his eyes Esther burst with laughter and said she'll be thankful to have the dying partner's wife all to herself without competing with him as he's about to die hopeless, helpless and penniless. Said she'll keep the money to bury him so she could comfort his wife and secure her, and also take good care of her plus their two lovely daughters. Said she'll have countless tribadal experiments with her and at times with them all. Teary and fists clenched, said he'd rather die clean with his bible rested on his chest, with no dirty money painted his name.
With uncontrollable anger he slipped into a seizure. It was suspected it might occur if he takes longer to start RT treatment as it will definitely turn to comatose. With such a situation on their hands Jean called Cedric's wife to come sign the papers. His wife out of knowing how her husband feels about Esther, asked what had transpired and after gathering all facts too rejected the offer because of respect for her husband, affirming that she won't defy him and their belief.
Q_with payment ready would you block your spouse's treatment because of religion? If are in the position Jean finds himself in, would you pay part of the bill with your last?
Scenario 70
Arryta Messih was a very competitive and brave Olympic volleyball superstar. Her best position was 3. Her medium height worked for her in that position.
She used her earnings over the years to decorate her face with countless tattoos so she could be easily recognized when in the court and off. She was indeed recognizable due to her unusual face.
She started doing tattoos at the age of 17 in Curitiba, but by then she hid them as they were on the body. Arryta has been a tattoo freak that was but muted by fear of what parents will say or do. Later on in life she blew the fuse of fear and went wild by splashing tattoos allover her face to boost her career.
One day her father asked her if those tattoos were permanent and she said yes. He said to her that her type in their career fall a lot of times end up being references of how not to go about it, and she laughed at him for being too backward thinking.
Eighteen years later, in the evening of her career, she started remembering the words of her father. She was old by then, no job prospects that favours her as she was not lookable. None wanted to hire her with so much tattoos afielded her face. One day she met up with an old classmate and to her surprise she couldn't recognize her because of all those tattoos. Said to her that she was looking for salespeople at their company but with her now look she won't qualify. Still on that meet up, she hit Arryta with another stone when she blocked her from coming too close to her child. Seeing her frown, Arryta asked her friend's daughter why that expression, and her friend quickly said you're scaring her. They parted with her weeping inside.
That very night she stood for long in front of her mirror and asked herself what got into her to make her do that to her once perfect and beautiful face? She was growing alone, no children, no real friends and no money to reverse her regret. No normal man would love her at that state and no child would love and pride themselves with a parent like her. That mono Q n A left her scarred, hating self and feeling hopeless and empty. She vowed to herself that come tomorrow morning she's going to make a change to how she is. She had to put a stop to her shame and misery...
Q_what do you think she'll do? If it were you in her position, what would've been your action? Can she restore her former self?

Scenario 69
Jules Thetar was a poor hardware store employee monegasque who depended on government subsidies to afford his status as a citizen of Monaco. His ex-fiance dumped him because her parents found her the perfect man who can afford her dreams. Money buys you love it's true, and Jules succumbed to the saying's harshness.
Jules has never felt so betrayed and humiliated like that. He started frequenting pubs to quaff away his pain with the aim of drowning his sorrows. On the second week of their separation Jules wanted to have a taste of luxury liquor at one boutique hotel. He only had €100.00 and it bought him just two 25ml shots. He ordered them and as he was about to out, heard someone say something about trying their luck in the ruffle.
He went back to the waitress to ask about it and was told it's closing in the next six minutes, and your entry is your bill. By sheer luck he had his still on him and quickly rushed into the ballroom quarters to dip his in. The announcement gets made in between a myriad of dance activities, and the moment arrived. His name was drawn and he was startled to be told he's a millionaire. He was € 4.5 m richer. His win was not published as he opted for a silent win as opposed to an open win. It was allowed in the ruffle rules book.
He bought a bachelor flat in Monaco-Ville and a € 6 000.00 car, and advertised online for any interested sellers of stores in the hardware retail sector. He evaded Monaco due to its expensive nature and bought two different stores. The two stores were renamed as Buildas Corna and Hardware Candy. He opened the two hardware stores and made them compete against each other.
For him to pull it, he poached a longtime crush of his from a communications agency to work with her. The crush, Fina Potellou, declared her feelings for Jules on two occasions without any success. It all turned on upon hearing that she's been followed by some secret millionaire who fancies her talent, by the name of Jules Matteo Thetar. She jumped ship instantly.
The pair created serious disruption moves to the sector that every big player had no choice but to notice and take a leaf out of their game plan. His ex, Katrina, was now starting to make contact with him trying to remind him of their yesterdays, but that was a closed chapter for him with her and into the picture was Fina. Katrina was no longer happy in her marriage to an older divorcee tycoon. She was merely a trophy wife to done-it-all and now tired husband with low libido and highly annoying obsession but not controlling.
The growth strategy from their growth plan was simple, start first apart and grow together alongside. Thus meant going from the rival brands trading apart in physical locations, in growth they'll be opening doors neck to neck, which also said that there's no way the other will open a store without the other. The strategy worked wonders as it carried a dual benefit outcome that not only netted them staunch rival loyalists, but also huge discounts on their stock as their warehouse was one in each geographical setting they rolled into. That translated further into customers winning because of the staged competition.
In two years they were married and happily growing their empire. By year five, they were on 21 stores each brand, with Hardware Candy the bigger brand by sales and foot traffic. It was worth € 24m whilst Buildas Corna at €19m. Their growth was by then stifled by rival poaching of star employees but slowly learnt to retain them to avoid negative perception of staff turnovers, which had a revenue knock effect as wages took a larger chunk, but they were happy they were still on upper single digit growth year on year.
Q_had Jules been in a relationship with Fina given him that luck? Does Jules owe Katrina any royalties? What's your growth strategy from your growth plan?

Katrina was no longer happy in her marriage to an older divorcee tycoon. She was merely a trophy wife to done-it-all and now tired husband with low libido and highly annoying obsession but not controlling.
The growth strategy from their growth plan was simple, start first apart and grow together alongside. Thus meant going from the rival brands trading apart in physical locations, in growth they'll be opening doors neck to neck, which also said that there's no way the other will open a store without the other. The strategy worked wonders as it carried a dual benefit outcome that not only netted them staunch rival loyalists, but also huge discounts on their stock as their warehouse was one in each geographical setting they rolled into. That translated further into customers winning because of the staged competition.
In two years they were married and happily growing their empire. By year five, they were on 21 stores each brand, with Hardware Candy the bigger brand by sales and foot traffic. It was worth € 24m whilst Buildas Corna at €19m. Their growth was by then stifled by rival poaching of star employees but slowly learnt to retain them to avoid negative perception of staff turnovers, which had a revenue knock effect as wages took a larger chunk, but they were happy they were still on upper single digit growth year on year.
Q_had Jules been in a relationship with Fina given him that luck? Does Jules owe Katrina any royalties? What's your growth strategy from your growth plan?
Scenario 68
Redissan Mapfumo is a popular humorous figure in and around the village of Bopoma in the province of Masvingo in Zimbabwe. He's affectionately known as "Amprofaya" for his dance moves at liquor joints and gatherings. The 56 year old is always carrying a radio on one shoulder and listening to music, of which should he spot the opposite gender eyeing him, capable of unleashing a series of dance moves to impress them. A colourful ladies man I tell you.
What's good about Amprofaya (which literally means amplifier) is that he's a committed family man who paid school fees for his three daughters with his craft. His choice of wardrobe not down my lane but suiting him. He is good with jokes as well, hence the name. He never stopped talking.
Amprofaya had a sister-in-law who likes him very much, Vembai, who surprisingly stood by him tirelessly. Vembai knew people in places that matters. She took video clips and audio recordings of Amprofaya and published them on Zimbabwe's new social media craze, zimotube, which pics, gifs, vids and audios of any interesting Zimbabwean are uploaded and viewed for comments.
Two videos of Amprofaya were uploaded and through Vembai's friend got a treat to SEO assistance and in a week both of his videos were trending. An intrested online tube tracked him down and wanted to work with him. The next month Amprofaya was doing his renowned moves on livestream. He became recognizable wherever he went. Not long he was organized a manager by Vembai to run his affairs.
He was now booked at events and was a household name in a space of a year. Family members were allover him all the time asking for this and that, and soon had to finally be burying some and helping some marry. Amprofaya was the main man in the clan, and was benefiting nothing from the love he was receiving. He had a good run and the second year fell, and in the late months of the third year received a letter from ZIMRA. He was owing tax.
By then he had just bought a beautiful house he made a home, and visitors flocked day and night. He had no time to follow up on his affairs and had his manager do everything for him. The third year fell and so did the fourth, but then in the beginning of the fifth year's third quarter received a call from ZIMRA informing him about his tax returns bill. He was made to relax by his manager that he'll look into it. He did nothing to work the situation and instead elected cutting ties with.
Time went by and in the beginning of the sixth year, Amprofaya received final warning with arrears having snowballed and not knowing how to deal with it. He went to the bank to have them settle the tax bill. The banker did as instructed and without negotiating with ZIMRA for a settlement before payment, effected the deposit. He was already in the tax year meaning he had another year to pay come tax returns season.
Amprofaya's star was quickly meeting its morning and people were now diverging. He was starting to struggle with making ends meet. Gigs were shying away from his shadow and on social media he was no longer a hit, especially after the tube contract wasn't renewed. His possessions were slowly swallowed by his lavish lifestyle maintenance and soon had to sell off everything and bought a smaller house. He now was without a car and a driver, his children were back to the old life they led then prior to Amprofaya's stardom.
Q_what's the lesson about Amprofaya's story? How was he supposed to tackle the tax bill?

Scenario 67
Nick Scolari had no choice but to befriend his abductors' guard. He had to be in the loop on what's going on out there, and the best way to achieving that was through someone close to his abductors. His guard was Leroy Pelosi and he gave him the files on his abductors and about where they took his merchandise and what they did with his yatch.
Over the period of 4 weeks Leroy and Nick became good down low friends. Nick's family received a ransom note that demanded they pay €35 million. His abductors are fellow Ponzi schemers like himself, and have been running a counter get-rich-quick scheme to his. They both were into bitcoin and Nick's scheme was more successful than theirs. Nick runs Bitsecure which offers dubious safekeeping and insurance on bitcoin earnings. His abductors, Timothy Pol, Dolph Kroussmeratov and Morris Fadigk, who are Italian, Russian and Azerbaijan national. Their scheme, Crypto Premium, offers insurance on virtual accounts of crypto gamblers on their winnings. They charge 1,75% on each banking of gains transacted.
The three operate nerve centres in their respective countries and holding their abductee in Armenia. Their failure to hook as much as they hoped for gamblers led to their move to abduct Nick as Bitsecure was winning the market while them were not. For 4 months nothing was reported about the disappearance of Nick Scolari until his wife, Nimaco broke down and told her sister. Her sister, Erica informed the private investigator she had an affair with, and soon it became news.
Seeing that it was becoming more risky to negotiate for a lower ransom, Nimaco arranged for a quick payment to the abductors and Nick was released. During his abduction, Bitsecure was running smooth and its subscriber base kept growing until it slowed by breaking news of its founder being abducted.
The publishing of his abduction killed his business and his wife failed him by her involvement of her sister Erica. He was of the view that his wife will treat it with care and silence so it be a smoke down affair, but then it brought more attention to them and their main hustle. Her apologies were met with silent treatment. In the following week the media was on his case about legitimacy of their business after the private investigator tipped off some in the intelligence community. It became clear that they were under the spotlight of the special crimes unit.
The other thing that was in the process was Nimaco and Nick's wedding ceremony which was two weeks away. As days fell, progress was being made by the police on building a case against them. Three days before their wedding information was leaked about their shady scheme. The news kept Nick busy and obstructed.
On the wedding day's eve rumour swamped social media platforms about warrants of arrest for both Bitsecure and Crypto Premium executives. By that very hour withdrawal requests jammed their system as the panick withdrawal and subscription cancellation syndrome kicked in and none wanted to loose out on their gains. Nick proposed for their wedding cancellation but Nimaco put her foot down, leaving Nick with no choice but to go on with the wedding as planned the following day. Just after that failed attempt, Nick picked the phone and ordered for a freeze on withdrawals and cancellations, and draw final premiums with penalty added for all cancelled subscriptions so Bitsecure be left with a few millions to float from.
Proceedings went on but failed to meet their graduation as the officers arrived and stopped the wedding ceremony with an arrest. Nick was taken away and Nimaco given a date to appear alongside him. Hearing news flash in the wake of Bitsecure boss's arrest, the Crypto Premium bosses tried fleeing Armenia only to meet their plan foilers already at the airport and took them in. The bogus executives were each adorned a shiny and lengthy sentence suit of 15 years while Nimaco got 5 years.
Q_why was it important for Nick to know what was happening out there? Was the war between them not staged?

Scenario 66
It took just three calls to get attention of the party leaders by the city manager. All the data from Baku households to that of Azerbaijani government ministries, illegally captured in a special hard-drive disk shuttle leaked by a disgruntled top former intelligence employee. It's the biggest data heist ever by any standards. The command centre was questioning the reliability and integrity of their nerve centre personnel.
The demand in return for the data was a daybreaking economy shredding AZN 2,2billion, payable in crypto. The introduction of a new crypto currency, Rola, and its payment platform called Tytpay, has caused a spike in extortion activity in many markets the world over as its virtual accounts generates a pass-account for receiving deposits and transfer of funds. Thus meaning you never give out your actual virtual account number to anyone as the pass-account automatically expires instantly after the deposit or transfer is effected. As such, there's no tracing of funds deposited or transferred and that making it the safe haven for criminal activity. It's safe in that nobody gets to know your virtual account details.
Rola, developed in South Africa by Witty Appz, a software development agency based in Polokwane, is responsible for other controversial intelli-apps that are hits in app stores today. The movement that's demanding the ransom for the data is a newly formed group of hackers called He/Yox Fondu.
The Baku's city manager, Orak Viktor Douf, engaged the foundation's leader, Isupl'a Gkekov, and got informed that the amount of data in their possession is a hefty 1.064 Yottabyte, with13.7 Terabytes of it occupied by Azerbaijan data. He was worried to also be told that some of the classifieds are in their possession too. Orak tried negotiating for the reduction of the asking price but drew nil. He further involved the president's advisor, Aleksandrovich Marx, but still failed. In 72 hours they were already answering questions from AzTV news on the very issue. The challenge was to not jinx it, as such they denied the news and labeled it as unfounded and baseless hype by the neo-liberals to destabilize the capital city and the ruling party.
Realizing that Orak was winning in allaying fears, Isupl'a Gkekov turned the heat by sending a hint to Europa Plus without mention of names and the state immediately paid it in six transactions to try figure out how to catch them but couldn't. The hint left a dent in the state as the voice in the 15 seconds tape was of a then key figure in the ruling party and is of the day the FTD (aka Lone bats) was secretly formed. The Lone bats were the ones responsible for the shaping of Azerbaijan economy into being a consumer state instead of a producer state.
It left distrust and plowed divisiveness as internally it was denied that there's existence of such an underground pact between member states, which to date on still fully not known whom they are but embezzling state coffers.
A lot started questioning who Isupl'a Gkekov is as they were unable to unearth anything on her. To play heroes, the state through intelligence agencies reported a fabricated lead story about He/Yox Fondu's Gkekov being arrested and detained in a secret location. They did that confidently as they gathered the group doesn't do anything after getting paid. Nothing was ever reported of her again, just that she's being questioned.
Q_how much is a Yottabyte? In what way is Rola good or bad?

His workshop the envy of many in competition with. His company, Ken Torque 4x4, is one of the first to come to head when monster trucks gets a mention. His love for trucks evident at his home the minute you step into their opening plan living area where you're greeted by a hole punched truck tyre chandelier, a fixture never seen anywhere before.
His wife, Eva, a bed shop manager, wants nothing to do with racing. Benjamin, who's better known as Bennyman, builds tow trucks and monster trucks, sells them and service them, while also running a towing business with his motorbike fanatic brother-in-law, Matt, called Benmatt Towing. Most of Ken Torque 4x4's revenue comes from repairs and maintenance. Both Bennyman and Matt are adrenaline junkies.
Due to growth, Ken Torque took in two interns who will assist with building trucks and tyre regrooving. The two interns were Taye and Gavin. They came in via a partnership program Ken Torque 4x4 has with Missouri College of Vocational Studies, and was in its fourth year. They'll be there for 16 weeks and to go back to school for their exit exams where they'll write about their experiences where they worked.
Taye was loving the side of repairs and tyre regrooving. Tyre regrooving helps in shaving off some excess rubber on the monster trucks to make them pick up speed quicker, especially during side by side racing and when freestyling easy to manoeuvre the truck as a result of that weight reduction. Because of the upcoming national championships the workshop is busy with maintenance jobs.
With two weeks to go to the national championships, Bennyman was invited by the local community radio station to come for an interview to help drum up the hype. Whilst there he received five calls that he ignored as he was live on air in the middle of a broadcast. After the interview he called back only to be shattered. He was told to come back to the workshop urgently as there was a terrible incident that happened. The bad news was that it resulted in the loss of life of one of the interns.
He informed the show producer and drove back quickly. Bad thing happened also in that the show producer made it a newsbreaker. By the time Bennyman arrived, scores of people were already pouring in to witness it for themselves. He couldn't believe it,,,seeing the lifeless body of hard working and inquisitive Gavin. He was lost for words. The roll cage that killed him was a project that was special to Bennyman and now this. It was to celebrate his thirteenth anniversary with Eva. It's fibreglass body panels were engraved E&B13 and been long waiting for the shell to be finished before he could fit them.
Gavin, because of lacking experience, was tasked with mating shock absorbers to the suspension but forced to be part of the team putting final touches to the superglide transmission. Instead of being gentle, he used a hammer and in the process guiding it in with a crowbar. He missed and hit the tripod, which saw the structure collapse to his side unfortunately. With fright he clung to the suspension and the heavy structure fell on him and killing him instantly.
Days later Bennyman was charged for letting staff work without proper safety gear worn, while some blamed him for making an intern work on his pet project. It was tough being in his shoes. Eva ended up not wanting anything to do with the surprise truck he was building for their anniversary. The college cancelled the relationship with him and Taye taken to counseling, a clear sign that they too blamed him. Nobody wanted to hear his side of the story. And for championships, he pulled out forever even though the monster trucks association was standing by him. He was hurt by the treatment received from some around him.
Q_if it were you, what would you've done? To you, who's to blame for the fatal incident? What's next after healing and why?

After work his wife tried reasoning with him but didn’t take it. At 22, Kotea is coming of age and should have a girlfriend. Out of pressure Kotea ended the relationship with a broken heart.
Just exactly a month before he turns 23, Kotea did the unthinkable. His mother on that fateful day felt like not going to work and lazied around at home, and decided to hit the shower in the commonal bathroom instead of in their private en-suite one. Kotea was on holidays and his blood boiling for a natural relief. His bedroom was next to the bathroom and what happened next still a shock to his mother to date.
Kotea got out of his room and knocked at the bathroom door, his mother answered and asked him to go use the private bathroom, but what he did was open the door and forced himself on his mother. With disbelief she screamed for help and their neighbour called the police and the preacher. Yves arrived first and got told what transpired, and then jumped onto him for revenge but his son proved stronger than him. Just then the police stepped in and broke them off on their arrival.
After taking the statement, the mother refused to press charges against her son in blame of her husband for blocking his son from dating girls. This riled Yves and made him hate his perverted son passionately, and also distanced himself from his wife to an extent of him sleeping in the guest room. Life changed aftermath, and haemorrhaged the soul and unity of the Montachi household. Happiness became a shy stranger in their togetherness.
A while down the line and out of loneliness and emptiness, Yves was charged with sexual assault after a patient he thought was dead came back to life while he was atop of her. He had a coitus with an anaesthetic patient whom by some miracle just sprung back to conscious state only to find the paramedic atop her and screamed. When asked by police said he was resuscitating her. Fortunate for him the victim forgave him after testing negative for HIV test as he entered her without any rubber put on.
To his surprise heard that his wife wasn’t mad at him and also was the one who went to apologize officially on his behalf at the victim’s family. The following day Yves resigned from work and filed for divorce. He struggled with a lot personally as a man, a husband, a father, a professional, and worse as a preacher, having to face everyone after him having committed that very act which he wholeheartedly advocated against.
Q_if it were you in the shoes of Yves' wife, what would you do after the incestuous rape? If you were the victim of sexual assault, would you forgive Yves? If you were Yves, what would’ve been your way forward and why?
Scenario 63
CC Congolo is the owner of a tavern called Size1. CC loves his business too much, especially his stock, which turned him into an alcoholic. Size1 is still the first choice for liquor consumers in and around the village of Nasiyaya in Phalombe district over its 9 year stint.
For many, he is a friendly person. CC used to have a challenge of being shy and quiet, and some patrons used to tease him for that, especially females. To calm his nerves he started drinking just one or two sips to smell like them. Then one day, because he didn't drink same stuff, sipped a new product into the market and things changed. Unlike the malt beers, draughts and lagers he used to sip, he loved the taste of that due to its less bitter taste and crisp liteness to his taste buds. It was an apple cider, and for the first time ever in years had a can bottomed up.
He started stock piling too much of it as he and the ladies were loving it. And bit by bit he started gulping and soon gratuated from cans to longtoms, and that was the beginning towards his fortunes reversal. He was now the flavour of the month and ladies sat on his laps for pleasure and freebies as they shared his drinks with them. CC suddenly turned to be the shadow of former strict and disciplined self.
At first he used to buy for himself and as time went on had his own discount tab that he later on disregarded. He saw no point in paying himself back and his friends followed suit. The three girls and one guy he hired saw an opportunity to pay themselves as well before payday as he is of late a people's person and stealing his own stock. He couldn't manage properly now and business is dwindling because he's got no control any longer.
Now an alcoholic, he keeps complaining to anyone who cares to listen that he used to make MK 80 000 in a day and now is bewitched by his competitors. The sad part is none tells him the truth about his failing business as he might accuse them of witchcraft or cease being friendly to them as he takes good care of his friends.
Q_how can you assist CC? Why should you do so? What to do if he rejects your advise?

Scenario 62
Earf's new range marked an evolution in the underwear market. She changed sexy to effy, and the response was overwhelming to say the least for the shy lean bodied shemale. The range was Earf's only second installment into the industry after a controversial entry with vibra-undies (an underwear that had an embedded stimulant that vibra-massage a male or female organ on a squeeze, with the gay range embedded a prod thorn to stimulate through the back). For women it had a line in between and for men a ring on the lower mid-front.
Now, after the pricey and impractical lacklustre range Earf is back with a bang, the effy-undies. The range was typically designed and produced with semi-Klinefelter's syndrome sufferers. It was inspired by the plight of a friend who suffered from Klinefelter syndrome. The range has a bulging pad to aid the sets of any male with smaller seeds. Celebrities took to social media wearing one and it sold like it's given for free. It gave men confidence when they're seated as they now had a bulge.
Earf was starting to be a trendsetter but was not the type to be wining and dining with A-listers, she preferred low key everything. On the back of the now success, Earf brought back the vibra-undies and they stole the shelf space from regular undies on display. Earf was not the type to stop after a successful product launch.
Eleven months after the return of vibra-undies, the market was wowed by yet another innovative underwear product for women. Earf launched the sanitary liner range, which was a panty with a perfumed changeable sanitary pad pinned to it. It was super thin and comfortable to wear, plus with its perfume a hit. It caused a sensation. Just after that, Earf's introduction to the military ministry's director-general through a life partner paid dividends.
Upon their second encounter Earf mentioned a concept that was tough to finesse. The underwear would be made of tube material and was with patients and oldies in mind. The trouble was that the seams were too tight and threatening the blood flow circulation. The director-general quickly thought of her ministry. The military personnel could do with such an underwear. She arranged for a meeting with the minister and Earf's presentation compelled the ministry to sign a confidentiality agreement with Earf right there and then. Within a few weeks the deal was signed and the military range was commissioned with internal fanfare.
The underwear could hold excreta for up to 48 hours. The military-undies had an excreta proof that was an unusually firm elastane which was ideal for one on the go for relief when on field. The military-undies had hip fins for ventilation, a special foam to clean it and a special chemical sprayed inversely before wearing that. The sprayed chemical slowly ate at the excreta to eliminate discomfort to the wearer. It was ingenious. It made Earf the fashion influencer and an epitome of underwear technified.
It was just exactly a day after a successful plasti-undies that a huge scandal hit the market about the skin condition that caused military personnel serious epidermal infection and worse was that of female soldiers suffering a rare side effect that damaged their foetus during their first trimester. The news was a blow never imagined by Earf, and the military ministry cancelled the contract immediately, and reporting that a lawsuit will follow.
In honesty, the news were fake, but were revered as Earf failed to provide any patent for the chemical used to spray the military-undies and its approval by the health board for human application safety. She never thought of such a technical aspect of their ranges and was now under tremendous pressure, with none to lean on except Sammie, her lesbian life partner. It emerged that there's a warrant of arrest inked Earf Phiwah, and the only solution was befriending the rope and overhanged beams in their mansion. The news of Earf's suicide baffled the prosecution authority as there was nothing of that sort.

The military ministry was left dismayed learning there were no substance to the claims that filled the market and they had already reacted with termination before verifying the authenticity thereof. The top officials involved in their dealings with Earf resigned one after the other. What's left of it was just that it's no use crying over spilt milk as a legend was gone. To avenge the injustice unto Earf, Sammie buried Earf with only four attendees, with no media allowed in during proceedings.
As a corrective measure, the military ministry ordered more military-undies and commissioned an apology advert to family, friends, industry and fans of Earf. Sammie declined any attempts to engage with her and continued with running the business in continuum of success Earf made of it.
Q_whom do you think formulated and spread the fake news? What should've been the ministry's decision upon the surfacing of the military-undies scandal? Who's to blame for Earf's suicide and why?

Scenario 61
HeBlu Food Bar/Spa was the pride and joy of their friendship. Hedon Gardner, Zenith "Celibeat" Roberts and Venon Tosh were inseparable friends from primary school. Their lifelong dream has always been to do a business together, but not sure which one. Twenty six years later, here they are running a promising restaurant and spa business.
Venon was the face and marketing guy while Hedon and Celibeat were the day to day runners. Hedon is a chef and Celibeat is a masseur. The trio had a loan from a big dancehall superstar "Tipsy" who is a friend of Celibeat, because Celibeat is a huge supporter of his and an aspirant music producer. As such, Celibeat is the principal.
The food bar gained popularity on the backdrop of Hedon's master moves in the kitchen as their kitchen was open planned. In no time they had paid back their loan and ready to expand. The trio approached Tipsy again, and this time he bought a stake in their business for JM$ 1 875 000.00 in exchange for 25% equity.
The next outlet was bigger than the first, and the star attraction still being Hedon. He did sets in a particular hour randomly that kept patrons guessing if it's passed or to come whenever they got in. Seeing how popular the sets were, Tipsy came with an idea of learning simple cooking basics and suggested he join in on those sets. It drew more attraction and big investment within 11 months. By then they had two more chefs to run the kitchens in both outlets.
With an investment from a media house that bought rights to exclusively record and air their sets, they opened five more outlets in a huff. Their growth was exponential. People watched the sets on live stream and on tv. The food channel made them more bigger than ever and then Celibeat produced the tunes they were using when cooking, which were too instant hits. His riddims populated Jamaican club scene as more big reggae and dancehall stars layered vocals on his riddims. Celibeat was now the go to guy for cooking set tunes, and Tipsy now a megastar entertainer.
The trouble with their business was that there was massive hype around their sets and outlets as growth was not planned for and cracks started showing. The trouble with the popular sets was the route taken by Venon to franchise their business. It meant that the duo had to perform sets at those outlets as well and the issue now was the fact that franchisees wanted them to perform for free as they considered them as package for their franchise agreement with them as franchisors. It was a problem when the media house wanted consent to shoot at franchisees' outlets and demanding set preps to be from the franchisor that reality of a mess they caused started creeping in.
One franchisee group that owned four of their outlets wanted a cut on the proceeds of sets as they own the set space and the franchisor owns the business format. That, created a serious headache for the trio and Tipsy. After careful consideration, they made a deal with them that failed to be a hush hush affair and soon all other franchisees wanted same deal for their outlets. Now, HeBlu was giving them more headaches and heartaches than the joy they should be sharing out of it. One thing good was that there were no infighting amongst them and but the only failure being their culture of deciding on the go on many issues arising. Had they had a growth plan, such would've been foreseen and strategized upon long before they could become eventuality problems.
Their troubles gradually affected the quality of their magic on sets and the rates started dropping drastically, and the media house pulled the plug to give them a breather to allow them space to regroup and come back stronger and wiser. Due to that, business was on a downward spiral. Some franchisees sold their businesses and patrons started complaining about food quality and the reason being because of died excitement patrons were now concentrating on the menu than on performance. The trio decided to sell the business and focus on their individual careers with hopes of starting something else somewhere again.
Tipsy made a closure drum & bass version of HeBlu with Celibeat which failed to blow up as expected, and quickly jumped to other projects, leaving HeBlu behind. Hedon got a dream job of preparing meals for an airliner, while Venon got a contract with a UK based business development agency as its new business department's team leader. He excelled in his role and soon became the department's manager before he got the contract bought by another business development firm as a director of new markets.

Scenario 60
Norloth Seleme was at a Bishop Pastor's home, whom is a friend, when he got an invite to join them on a special trip to Mundatzana in Mozambique. The invite was presented by the Bishop's wife, MaMaduna after hearing that he admire their lifestyle, possessions and fellowship numbers. The Bishop, Phunyuka "Demystified Angel" Maduna, at first was against the idea knowing that he's not their member as yet and also not a church person but just a businessman who comes to him from time to time at church for prayers to turn his fortunes around, and today at his home for a recruitment dinner. As such, currently him being a part of the trip wouldn't befit the help he sought.
Seeing that Norloth was keen on embarking on the trip with them, DA, as he's popularly known as, ended up giving in though still with reservations. After the dinner, MaMaduna informed Norloth to come to the house again twice for two prep sessions before they go there. Not knowing that the maid overheard their conversation, Norloth said his goodbyes and got out. Two steps out, he hears a soft whistling before opening his car's door. Turning to the direction of the whistling, found that it's Morongwa, the maid. With no word quickly gave him a piece of a cloth. Trying to ask, she said: "just wanted to hand you this anointed handkerchief." Norloth thanked her, got into the car and drove off.
3 days later a call from an anonymous number rang and upon answering it he was asked if he's read the message on the handkerchief? Trying to play his usual mind games, the anonymous caller said that he should read it as she knows he didn't seeing that he was 2 hours away from his first session with MaMaduna. The caller dropped before he could say anything further.
Realizing he was at work and the car he drove to the Maduna's not the one he was driving that day, understood that the message was in the garage at home in the car. He drove home in a huff only to find that the car was taken to a nearby car wash by his wife's younger brother. To make matters worse, the car wash he took it to is is not his favorite as it's where drug users hang out and most of them were in the habit of stealing items from people's cars.
Getting there, he found the car was still being vacuumed, and asked to check for that handkerchief. Not finding it, got told that his brother-in-law gave it to some nameless junkie who loved it. Disappointed and with time no longer on his side, chose to go home to change from his formal wear to casual and head there. During the session he got told about acquisition of his miracle powers and the sacrifices that goes with those attainable powers sans revealing more details. He was told he'll go there alone. Out of worry and regret that he had already told his wife about it, got a long stroke of palm against his lips and told she won't remember anything he said about the trip. Before he knew it, the session was over.
Two days after he was to go for another session again before the trip and he went. The second session was a bit intense and shaking. He was given instructions for obedience of the oracle and Mandoro (the spark of the oracle). He was soaked and bathed in some fish smelling water in the dark, drank some mermaid urine and oil tasting liquid, made to swallow a stomach turning pill called the Lion's brain, and lastly given four brand new outfits to wear for the trip.
Day came and they boarded the plane and flew together. Once there, taken by different cars to Mundatzana, a very small village in deep rural Swengcwiwo plantation in Gaza, the patch of Mozambiquan land that doesn't appear on the map and navigation system. The sad part was that he never spent even a minute with them there for the whole 4 days of his stay. Worse was the language spoken not understandable and but miraculously a voice (Songwani) out of nowhere translated every word to him. At night he was not allowed to wear anything when he sleeps. Every morning when he woke up, felt slimy and tired.
On the 4th day he was instructed to go into the jungle and stroll naked. All of a sudden he was joined by a squad of 8 striking naked belles. To his awe, he was there with them yet his eyes failed him to see what he desired to, and also was his prime section failed to pitch a tent. Going out of the forest, he noticed that he was by then left with 6 belles as they met villagers who surprisingly seemed to not even once cared looking at their prime sections as if they weren't undressed. Arriving at the hut and stepping in, boom,,,he was by some magic now fully dressed with the last outfit while all those he worn gone, and so were the belles disappeared.
With none to question and none to answer, the Songwani directed him to the oracle to go collect his gifts. Getting there he found a very heavy bag that he was instructed to take it and throw away, and to not go back home with as it's been the burden of his whole adult life. And unlike the way they travelled to there, Norloth was instructed to step into an illuminated spot where he saw a circling wind and bang,,he was back home where he didn't even know.
Hearing no noises or any sound of anything, he started going through rooms in that strange house and discovered he was alone. Still puzzled, a call came through and though didn't know who's phone it was, answered and learned it was MaMaduna congratulating him on his newly found status and that he'll from then on be called "the money minter" as it pleases the Roumatina Kwe Merkabah. She further told him to fetch his power pack at the ground floor of his new home. Told in there is his power contract and should be signed so he'll be fully out and be visible to world people. To his frustration was hearing that he'll have to choose where he'll want his new 4 storey mansion be placed together with his new family and businesses. The call ended with MaMaduna wishing him luck.
Everything was now changed. In his power pack he found pictures of his fleet to choose only best 8 of, from double cab bakkies to sedans to SUVs and hypercars. His life has suddenly turned out to be perfect yet imperfect sans his old family. Startled still about the new family, the Songwani came and said to him that his old family was sacrificed for everything he's now having and that they were in the heavy bag he threw away. The new family was part of the gifts he collected from Mandoro when he transformed, and that they won't bother him ever as they were wiped.
Songwani informed him that 8 is his power number. It came from the bank balance as he had only ZAR 8 000.00 in his account on the day of the trip and that he was now ZAR 8 billion wealthier. Further known to him was the fact that 8 was his mark that is written allover his body, and that he had 8 powerful companies worth a billion Rand each, 8 business accounts, 8 everything he had. Lastly, was commanded to each day eat 8 meals to feed the power source within as he is now on no longer alone in him.
He was told to undress and sign his power contract so he could take his mark officially. Out of curiosity he asked what'll happen if he rejects the offer. Songwani calmly whispered to him that:"if you don't sign, you'll be back to where you were with nothing but just dead hope and no family. Nothing good will happen for you ever should you forego the offer by Mandoro. Try him forrr your self."
What was displeasing to Norloth was suddenly seeing his mark put on his prime section as a sign of warning by Mandoro. A core stress issue was that his holy wife had an 8 shaped key to his body and that no other woman shall share him with her and also that none should see his nakedness as that will see him lose his power to the one who saw it.
With so much odd stuff to take in, Songwani told him that in 2 separate consecutive years he'll sacrifice 2 companies to disguise himself as a legit businessperson who lost businesses like other real business persons who at times experience losses in business to evade suspicion. That was a move that happened when he met 8 belles in the forest but came out with only 6. It was too much in a compressed time for him. He was accomplished but unfulfilled and empty.
Q_if you were in his position would you have regrets and why? What do you think was written on the handkerchief?

Scenario 59
At 6:17 a.m Wayne was already 2 minutes late but at the gate chatting with the security personnel and waiting for the beep. The factory doors opened at 6:20, lights went off and he waltzed in. His eyes still crying for sleep. He occupied a 12x6m space for his blended juice. He also did packaging there.
His business started as a hobby and in a blink of an eye was a surprise bubble that saw its sales soaring. Wayne's lack of sleep was caused by his failure to meet his demand. He was managing to deliver in cover of only 46% of his total orders. He was stressed as banks were not availing much needed working capital, his family not affording to assist him, and all that he had was poured into the starting capital.
Wayne's big offramp was his lack of business knowledge, he just got lucky and thought he was good, and behaved in a manner that cost him advise and assistance. It soon felt lonely for him. He began saying that everyone around him is jealous of his success to an extent that they want him down. His major mistake was wanting to do everything by himself and also forcing to be too much of himself.
After trying this and that, he went to the hardware and bought his way out solution. Getting home he wrote a note in his room and took it downstairs into the communal garage. He prepared his solution and used a bucket to step on. He was brave, he tied the solution round his neck and kicked the bucket. In 6 minutes it was done, Wayne was no more.
Two hours later he was discovered hanging by his neighbours on their way out to the stores. His girlfriend was called and she found the note in his back pocket. The note was short and it read: "sorry I got overwhelmed. Never thought business can be this hard. My inexperience has killed me. Sorry I disappointed you all."
Q_to you, what would've been the best solution out? How can you help Wayne's type? Is it advisable to turn a hobby into business?

Scenario 58
It was a good Liberian morning for Justin Kilner. He had a call from his agent that she's secured him a motivational speaking gig at a nearby college. To celebrate his gig he called his cocotte with a fiver left in his phone for a rendezvous later on.
Justin met up with Angelique Fendi at their usual eatery spot called Momo's. After a drink they drove to Angelique's apartment for a change, for the first time. They even used her car too so he doesn't get caught by his agent as she's his girlfriend's sister as well, and the two are very close.
At the apartment they had a good time and when done dozed off, snugged into her cozied water bed. In the heat of the evening, his girlfriend called and the cocotte dropped it and switched the phone off. Justin heard nothing. Out of anger she took all of his clothes and put them into a bathtub full of water before joining him in his sleep.
Because of feeling cold in the middle of the night due to him wearing nothing on, Justin woke up. Throwing his sight up, to his surprise, he was met with Angelique in her birthday suit with her legs slightly stretched and him below her in between. She was staring down on him, with arms to her waist and saying nothing. He got a fright realizing that she's staring down at him but seemingly not looking at him as she shown signs of lifelessness.
He called her name softly but she didn't respond and kept staring down at him silently. Seeing that emergency was by then out of the ambulance, he slowly crawled beneath her and searched for his clothes sans any luck. By sheer luck stumbled upon Angelique's tight cycling shorts and got out through the window as the keys were nowhere to be found.
He ran for his dear life to the nearest filling station and claimed to have been mugged and but failing to explain his wearing of the tight cycling shorts. They wanted to call the police but he insisted they call a cab for him. He got driven straight home as the car's spare key is at home together with the home spare keys. Getting home he found it was house-to-let. His phone is back there at Angelique's, all keys are with the girlfriend and an extra spare inside.
With regret fused with guilt, frustrated and not wanting to be seen in that strange garment, broke the kitchen window to try accessing the spare keys to no luck. Two minutes later the security and police responded to the silent call of their alarm. Trying to explain it's his place, they asked for his identification and to answer 3 security questions, and he stuttered, secondly was asked for his girlfriend's cellphone number and again stuttered because he's used to just dialing it from his phone. The officers were left with no choice but to arrest him for attempted burglary.
The following morning he failed to pitch up for his gig and his agent decided to call it quits. Justin was rescued two days after by a police officer who recognized him and paid bail for him.
Q_what would be the first thing you'd do once bailed out? What is the lesson from this scenario?

He ran for his dear life to the nearest filling station and claimed to have been mugged and but failing to explain his wearing of the tight cycling shorts. They wanted to call the police but he insisted they call a cab for him. He got driven straight home as the car's spare key is at home together with the home spare keys. Getting home he found it was house-to-let. His phone is back there at Angelique's, all keys are with the girlfriend and an extra spare inside.
With regret fused with guilt, frustrated and not wanting to be seen in that strange garment, broke the kitchen window to try accessing the spare keys to no luck. Two minutes later the security and police responded to the silent call of their alarm. Trying to explain it's his place, they asked for his identification and to answer 3 security questions, and he stuttered, secondly was asked for his girlfriend's cellphone number and again stuttered because he's used to just dialing it from his phone. The officers were left with no choice but to arrest him for attempted burglary.
The following morning he failed to pitch up for his gig and his agent decided to call it quits. Justin was rescued two days after by a police officer who recognized him and paid bail for him.
Q_what would be the first thing you'd do once bailed out? What is the lesson from this scenario?
Scenario 57
Videva knew they were there for her, and searched their spirits for weaknesses and strengths, and felt connection with only one in four of them. Sensing their energies, she raced within her powers to draw her armour. The fight between the three churches was intensifying.
As the leader of The First Star International Ministry, Videva Moonray aka Mother of God's people, didn't want anything to do with prophet Divan Bartelli, the arch bishop of The New Commandment Bible Ministries, and Rufus Astafena, of Holy Cross Church of Christ International. The three were fighting for supremacy and Mother of God's people seemed to be having larger numbers, with Holy Cross Church coming second.
The four men knocked and she stood in quiet. The second round of knock was heard and a voice said: "the deal won't happen today I'm afraid gentlemen" and she opened her door. The four were invited in. To her surprise, it was Faith Connection Magazine's editor Mr Sy Potoli, businessman Taitia Kayembe, the group leader of the multiple award-winning mega gospel group 'The Word' Mr Millen Tshidzonga, and former investment banker Mr Golden Mvula. They were there for a proposition that aims to unite the three churches.
The four have a site that they wish to build a big church that will be able to house all the three churches congregants with ease. The proposal is for her to sign up with them to be a part of the running and leadership of the new proposed church, which will be named First Command Holy Church. She didn't sign but agreed only if she be the senior of all church leaders as she commands a bigger following. The four agreed and proceeded to meeting up with the other two whom had issues with a woman leading them.
Two months after failed agreement, they commenced with construction and word of mouth marketing. Faith Connection Magazine ran a piece and the hype grew uncontrollably. In eight months the church was launched with only Videva as a part and having moved from their rented place of worship to the new premises, and First Command Holy Church swept the souls of surrounding villages and became the church of choice that'll enable them enjoy free live performances of The Word once in every quarter. Inside the church there's a huge stage, auditorium seating style, air conditioners, state of the art surround sound system, large projection screen, attached recording studio, a semi-dettached local radio station in-house, church office, a Sunday meals kitchen and a central command centre for bulk messaging of congregants' power verses, birthdays, general updates and information portal. The church was like no other in the whole of Zimbabwe.
First Command Holy Church (FCHC) gave its congregants jobs and because of its impact on the surrounding areas, the donors poured in funds to help them do more. FCHC raised enough and became the first church ever in Africa to list on the stock exchange and traded as a media house. It grew from strength to strength and in no time had others wanting to join in as affiliates and soon it took the church business by storm as it transformed how traditionally churches were run. Churches now were empowering their members for real. The listenership grew and they applied for a national broadcasting license and by the grace of the Almighty Father got it granted.
First Command Fm became the biggest radio station and an online tv was launched, which broke records by being the most viewed in the country and globally. First Command Music followed and its artists sold better than most, had successful shows alongside The Word and alone. The economy felt the reverb of revival that awaited political will to lift "The Jewel of Africa" up. Some asked they form a party and enter elections but they never aired on it, instead voicing their openness to team up with any organ of state to improve lives of ordinary citizens.

Scenario 56
Kachina Kalma was a vibrant middle-aged tribologist for a Swedish manufacturing company called Terzetto. Set in the Norrmalm Distrikt, Terzetto designs and produce giant milling machines, industrial synchromesh components and bearings. Terzetto is a triune of design, production and maintenance.
Owned by the Ozari family, it's founders are siblings Fredrik and Lars Ozari, who were an engineer and the other a diesel mechanic. Now in the hands of the second generation, under the stewardship of Klint Ozari, a software engineer. Below him are joint-MDs, Salomon Ozari and Magritte J P Ozari. Kachina was close to Magritte and trying out most of her ideas with her before she could carry out tests. Their commonities were that they were tribade and tritheists.
One day an unexpected maintenance job call came in from a printing company that wanted assistance in repairing their giant printer. The company was based in Finland and required for two of Terzetto's tech support team members to fly down there to diagnose and fix it on site. Kachina together with Eliaza Didrikson, flew there. Getting there they were taken to the printing press warehouse were things took a big turn. It was where the bible is printed, especially the version which both she and Magritte are opposed to.
Kachina folded her arms and declined to work sans giving reasons. Eliaza called the office to relay his challenge encountered there with Kachina. Kachina was put on call with her senior and said she won't touch anything that is against her belief. She explained her bone of contention for which the senior failed to understand, and escalated the matter to his superiors who directed Eliaza to just do the job alone. He did and where help was needed, sought assistance from an onsite operator who was a great deal of a helping hand. He wrapped up and they returned in the evening.
The following morning, a loud bang on the table from an argument was heard from the gate. It was Magritte against Salomon and Klint, in defence of Kachina. The argument took longer than expected and when they were done was almost ten o'clock. Magritte stormed out of the CEO's office and ordered Kachina to pack her stuff and follow her. She too packed hers and they left for good. They went on to work for an agricultural equipment manufacturers in Bromma. They never set foot near Terzetto ever again. The Ozari family never joyed another set down with Magritte again as she heard they sided with her zealotry hoodoo duo who accused her of paganism. Things were never the same for the Ozari family.
Q_was Kachina right or wrong about her behavior? Are individual beliefs respected in the workplace? What do you think was the decision of the management over Kachina's behavior? How can the Ozari family mend their family?

Scenario 55
Danika Furse is a fashion vlogger and influencer of note. Her vlog, 'Substenzia' has just landed a big account to produce campaigns for a famous outfitters brand, "3thirdy3" for 6 months. She's never had a big gig as this and wouldn't want to jeopardize that. Her usual photographer is in Belarus doing another shoot.
She had to find a photographer in two days, and so she enlisted the services of an upcoming recruitment agency for that task. The agency fixed interview sessions with available photographers on their database. The two available photographers were Santini and Robin, and she met up first with Robin and she wasn't that impressed, and then later sat with Santini.
When he arrived, he was clutching a tabloid newspaper under his left hand, and gave a month long introduction of his self. Danika asked him to order anything and soon as they hit the table, said her goodbyes and left him to eat in peace. The next morning she connected with Elmon Edwards in Belarus to be her saviour and he did organize for her, Alistair, to assist her.
Danika and Alistair had a vibe from the beginning and their chemistry worked wonders as they had an awesome time of their working lives. The models were fab and flipping amazing to work with, it was tops. The team at 3thirdy3 loved the final work and was soon published in her vlog and the outfitters' e-magazine. It caused a sensation and views skyrocketed to a massive all time high of 2,34 million in just a week. By the end of the month it surpassed 11 million.
On the follow-up spread worked with Elmon and the views were lacklustre, so they recommended she work with Alistair alone, and they did with better views per spread, with the 5th instalment having tipped the scales as it eclipsed 47 million views, 5 million more than their last instalment. The social media was abuzz with 3thirdy3 and Substenzia, and Danika couldn't be more happier as her active following stood at a rumbling 88,6 million. With 3thirdy3 done and dusted, still with fresher glory on her, she moved on to other things.
While working on her normal sets for her vlog she met with Santini who asked why she left him eating out alone and also why she made no call as promised to come back to him. Santini also congratulated her on her 3thirdy3's success run. This time they had a bit of time and found that he's actually not that bad as she saw him then. Santini invited her to his humble studio. At first she was reluctant but after his persuasive antics ended up going.
Along the way she was laughing non-stop as he's a very funny piece of work. Upon arrival, she asked if he's joking or what? If it's his studio in reality, then Santini is the son of the owner of a big publishing company called Vidory. The same company owns the software she uses as industry standard for designers in the creative industries called Andliog. Turning to him she asked: "when they talk about Santini Hauffir,,they refer to you?" and he said in return: "I never knew I matter!! And yaah, that's my name." Danika asked if he's truly him and he laughed and asked why wouldn't she see him truthful? She said he's too bland for Santini Hauffir, the son of the mighty and respected IT guru and magnate Bogdan Hauffir. He started mumbling Ye's lyrics, "everything I'm not, made me everything I am" and in the middle of her laughing at his awful singing, continued to Peter Tosh's song "l am that I am" and she started paying attention to him attentively as she picked he's somehow serious, and they went into the building.
She was icing with disbelief as she was sighting popular models whom Santini had worked with, yet never said a thing about when they met. He said to her that it's just life, what was your day's best becomes nothing when another breaks its dawn, so you have to start afresh and cater for it. By so saying he meant that he was touting. It's just that he's too simple for others as they look at the person for their class and that's why she didn't ask him what he'd done before, not who he is.
Danika apologized unreservedly but was a thing of the past to him. "If I hadn't forgiven you, we wouldn't be having this conversation here I'm afraid, so,,,it's all in the last dusk we passed over." He truly is something else. After furthering their conversation, she uncovered that she had once worked with Vidory and that they were the first who gave her a chance when none saw it fit to. She was feeling guilty how she treated him.

She was feeling guilty how she treated him.
The following month she got a call to do another campaign and asked Santini to tag along but said he's busy with a small assignment. When she probed she found out that the campaign she's doing is actually a commission by Vidory, and by then Santini was nowhere to be seen but reachable by call. The job was for a big multinational corporation and Santini happens to be an independent director thereof.
On that very day she asked for Santini to put in a good word for her so they can give her more work. To her surprise, she got a call from someone who informed her that she came highly recommended by the boss himself and that happens to be Mr S Haffir, the newly appointed CEO of Dahwoh Ltd, an international IT conglomerate.
He later on called Danika to put an offer on her vlog to bring it into the fold of Vidory and make it an e-magazine as well. She didn't waste time, and just said yes. After the deal was done and the launch which was in conjunction with 'The Land of Fields' collection of Polska Wear was on, in her speech she touched a lot on humble giant. Santini was chuffed over that and to her surprise still, he was there in the crowd like everyone else and cheering. That was the final straw for her, that man is comfortable as himself. From that day their friendship grew more stronger as she returned the respect and energy he received from him.

Scenario 54
Euphemirus Balthazar got disappointed in his late stage of life, seeing his only child and daughter getting married to a poorly educated fisherman after paying for her studies overseas. Euphemirus is a Eritrean mulatto who got married to a very lovely English belle aged 22. At the age of 43 buried her after a short battle with colon cancer, leaving behind a beautiful quadroon teen.
Euphemirus is a retired watchmaker who had big dreams for his daughter, Alea, who but had dreams and ways of her own. After studying metallurgy at University of Leeds in England, she came back after a year as an intern in Croatia. She worked for six years before getting married to a fisherman after her father's choice alma mater sweetheart disappointed her. Alea loved the tenacious Verrad Rukt for his belief in self, providing to his large family, not treating her different like others do, not traditional and being funny.
Their home was a humble fishing boat. It was cosy and spacious enough for its two occupants. A year into their marriage Alea got an offer to take up a big job as a project administrator. It was with a smelter company which partnered with a local mining company she once applied for a job at. She earned triple the amount she did previously and they bought a new home in the breathtaking suburbs of Maldon.
One night after hearing how Verrad was forced by family circumstances to become a fisherman, she arranged for him to have a tutor for his dream career of becoming a fine cost accounting specialist. He enrolled at University of Oxford for his 3 year course, which he completed in 4 years. Alea was busy planning while her husband was studying. She even registered a depository company in their names.
A month after his graduation, Alea took him to a meeting where they met with other handful of experts in mining. They were their consulting partners, and they'll be working with them in their startup. The team helped her secure funding and land to realize her dream opportunity. Within eight months they were starting to set up and it took five months to reach completion. The very same month Alea tendered her resignation and serve her 30 days notice. The employer had no grudges as she communicated her plans well in advance.
Their first client for their company, Rukt Precious Commodities (RPC), was the smelter. Them becoming their client was natural in that the very opportunity of the ytterbium depository presented itself from there. In that year Alea fell pregnant and her father asked he be named after his father as he said it's a boy. The day she gave birth, Euphemirus went to the hospital and laid his eyes on him, called him out and little one immediately fell asleep. He said goodbye to him in whisper to his ear and smiled alone looking upwards before leaving them in the ward.
The following day he passed away. On his bedside was a letter in a glossy watchmaker's almanac addressed to Hosni for her to read. She found a will and couldn't believe how rich her son was, and how her father had a collection of Torrela Watches that were designed by him and to date collecting royalties for. Also, in the letter was a directive to read a specific page that contains details of his achievements, which left her astounded. She discovered that her mother was the owner of a known hosiery boutique named after herself called Bernice Joint. It currently has 7 outlets in UK, and under management by her mother's family side.
After the funeral Alea flew to visit them to understand everything. The Palmer family received her well and told her they were awaiting her visit for a long time. It was made known to her that now that her father is gone, she's the new owner of her holding in the business. Her father lost soon after her mother's death. She was told he actually gave up on himself a long time ago and she bore witness to that as his watch designs were commissioned a while back.

She was told he actually gave up on himself a long time ago and she bore witness to that as his watch designs were commissioned a while back.
She flew back home to sit with Verrad and chart a way forward. They both agreed that the Palmer family keep running the business as they long had, and they will continue as her father did, be silent partners. Their stake was 49%.
When evaluating the shares worth, found them to be £14 million richer. According to her father's will, his original number of shares were automatically bequeathed to Hosni upon his birth. That made Hosni a millionaire by his share of 20% of Bernice Joint. As Verrad had a large family, they agreed to give them 9% of the dividends as the other 20% will be for their next born child.
Two years later they welcomed twin bundles of joy, and each received her 10% of the reserved shares, exclusive of Torrela royalties as were specifically for Hosni. RPC was by then doing well too, having made then millionaires with their 57% ownership thereof. To balance the beneficiation they gave the Balthazar family a 3% stake in RPC.
One day at the nearby mall, on her way to a meeting, saw her ex being shouted at by his kids mother. It was sad to see. The following week saw him alone at some restaurant and joined him for a drink to catch up. He was an assistant manager at a Persian rags store and the wife a bookkeeper for a local import and export company. She donated to him £14000.00 and left him soon as he started complaining about his regret of a marriage.
When evaluating the shares worth, found them to be £14 million richer. According to her father's will, his original number of shares were automatically bequeathed to Hosni upon his birth. That made Hosni a millionaire by his share of 20% of Bernice Joint. As Verrad had a large family, they agreed to give them 9% of the dividends as the other 20% will be for their next born child.
Two years later they welcomed twin bundles of joy, and each received her 10% of the reserved shares, exclusive of Torrela royalties as were specifically for Hosni. RPC was by then doing well too, having made then millionaires with their 57% ownership thereof. To balance the beneficiation they gave the Balthazar family a 3% stake in RPC.
One day at the nearby mall, on her way to a meeting, saw her ex being shouted at by his kids mother. It was sad to see. The following week saw him alone at some restaurant and joined him for a drink to catch up. He was an assistant manager at a Persian rags store and the wife a bookkeeper for a local import and export company. She donated to him £14000.00 and left him soon as he started complaining about his regret of a marriage.
Still excited about the money, the waiter came to thank him for the generous tip. He said it's fine, and choked when told the tip was £1000.00. The waiter kissed her business card and the ex asked to see it. He almost fainted seeing it written CEO of RPC in gold engravings on a rubberized material. Just by that business card, he understood he's way below her level. He reminisced about how they used to dream together and she used to call herself Mrs CEO, and here it is today, it came to fruition.
Q_how does it feel seeing your ex struggling? Would you upgrade your spouse for your dream? Where is Eritrea?
Scenario 53
Katika Sitoe, a biromantic demisexual from Quelimane in Zambezia Province, drove to Maputo just for a 30 minute session with Oyem Jiddi. She loved the experience she's left with all the time after being with him. Oyem had played a major role in helping grow the business that Katika so much dreamt of. And four years later to date, still having coaching sessions with him.
What made Oyem the hottest property he is in the market now was his switch from industrial psychologist job to that of being a business coach. He started out as that and but quickly extended it further into the personal branding space, and that's how his journey with Katika evolved. Oyem will upgrade you in a way never imagined. He is consulting for top C-suitors, celebrities, politicians, high net worth individuals, etc, and lately traveling a lot. His niche firm called OyemJIDDI Consulting.
Two days after her session with Oyem, she received a text message from an unknown number advising her to come to the police station urgently. When Katika got there, found that her first-born son was detained for possession of drugs, which he claimed where from his mother and her boyfriend Mr Jiddi. Katika has two sons, Diarello and Harambe (the quiet one and her favourite).
Katika was questioned and showed to not having anything to do or knowing about drugs. But, Diarello was adamant she and Mr Jiddi knew about them as they are the ones who sent him to sell them where they found and arrested him. Not knowing what to further say, Katika immediately made two calls. She called Mr Jiddi to apologize and explained to him what she's got him into, and asking him to come over. And the second call was to her lawyer, who was there in the blink of an eye. They waited for Mr Jiddi and he finally arrived, though after a couple of calls for his delay as he was communicating with his lawyer whom got there before him.
They were both charged formally and sadly to their surprise, word was already out about them being charged. The media was already out taking pictures of their cars and after having made police bail and going out found them waiting for them to give them their comments on the developing story. Within minutes the internet was awash with their story and images. Their news made big headlines, making them notorious.
The following morning, Mr Jiddi called Katika to advise her of their termination of their business relationship. He further informed her it's the advise he got from his lawyer and also that from now on they'll have to communicate via lawyers. Their trial commenced and drew unwanted attention that but grew the business for Katika, while a killer on the side of Oyem. Her restaurant, Marabendza, was picking up in daily numbers, especially the ready-made meals and beverages.
It took seven months and three court appearances to have charges on the two being dropped after it emerged that her son was coerced into laying his claims on his mother and business coach. He was owing a drug dealer and to pay him back had to choose from either selling drugs on the streets or being a mule for two consignments. He was saved by his friend who tipped the police and had him record their conversation about their family situation and his burnt mother's relationship with her business coach. That's then the name, "Golden Palm" surfaced, and the police swooped in on him.
Weeks after, their lawyers met again at some event and Iffy Chinonu, Katika's lawyer, managed to secure Oyem's number and called him as she heard he was in the vicinity of where they were. They met and she apologized on her client's behalf. To her surprise was the fact that he didn't react negatively, and instead asked Iffy if it was proper for him to call Katika directly from now on, and she allowed it. Katika wasn't dreaming of hearing his voice again in her life, but no, a call came through. She got a fright and not answered it right away. Shortly a text message alert beeped and saw it was from Iffy and she read it. She was begging her not to be easy on Oyem as he showed that sparkle in his eye when mentioning her name. And to not answer him until he called for the third time.
Upon the third attempt she answered and pretending to be busy, he asked to call her back after an hour and she said they make it two hours rather, of which he agreed. Oyem got purposely held up and on the third hour received a call from Katika and sent her back a message that he's unavailable right then via auto-response. Very much later in the break of evening, returned the call that lasted four hours. Truth was that Katika knew nothing about the life of Oyem and out of that telecon got to learn a novel's worth on him. It made sense what Iffy said to her and she was smitten.
Days on they were ever on calls and Katika broke it to Harambe that she's seeing someone and that it's Mr Jiddi. It puzzled him in that her mother months ago defended her position to him when Diarello said they were an item. She tried clarifying matters with him but still a brick wall block, though wished her luck regardless. Sadly it changed how he saw his mother going forth.
The doubt brought Diarello and Harambe closer than before and quickly drifted them apart as Diarello's version was a support case to that of their mother that it's only now that they are an item, not then. Also to his surprise was Diarello's confession that he did drugs just to get attention from their mother as he felt she was caring only about business, friends, neighbours and her genius business coach. Harambe felt unshakeable strokes of a conspiracy theory that there was an underlying deal between them and only him was excluded from it, given how it was. His suspicion got to the extent of him calling on her mother's lawyer to question her and still felt she's in on it after she referred him back to his mother, and again in that she's mostly the mastermind behind a lot of her mother's situational dealings.
The following year Mozambique witnessed the wedding of Oyem Jiddi and Katika Baqwa. As a sign of his anger and disapproval, Harambe opted to keeping Baqwa as his surname while his mother and brother were using Baqwa-Jiddi because she told him not first of her intent to get married again. Harambe was used to discussions with his mother about almost anything and now doing those with Oyem and Diarello, as the two were close. To him, he questioned why Oyem spent most of his time with Diarello than he did with him while he wasn't the one who got him arrested for nothing.
It took Raisa, his half-sister and the only child to Oyem to change his attitude as she too never liked Katika before and but uncovered her genuine nature that made her realize she has no intention to replace her deceased mother and that she adored and respected her father. The love Harambe had for his mother was now transferred to Raisa as he found commonity in her in that she is reservedly bitter about the whole thing. Their bond was so sinfully strong that they even incestuously sired a child and hid it from the family. Raisa and Harambe were madly in love with each other and their parents failed to see it. They were happy they got along, even read nothing between the lines when they requested to move back to the old house to stay together.
On the other hand, Diarello helped a great deal in growing Marabendza. They bought the internet cafe next door and expanded the floor space to accommodate self-prepped meals space, and Oyem's niche firm recovered and later opened two more branches in Beira and Pemba. The family was doing well on the business front and not so well together on the home front.
Q_why would you forgive Diarello if you were Oyem? Did Katika sacrifice her son for her own happiness? Are Oyem and Katika bad parents? What causes the imbalancement in this family and how?
Scenario 52
Seasonal vagaries meant fluctuating vacancy rates. The decision was now to vote on whether to keep the block of flats or sell it. The meeting started off on a high note with laughter and single voice until the core issue of the meeting was touched on and the mood suddenly became tense.
Kamaza Court was failing to attract more tenants probably because of its age and tired looks. The management didn't want to listen and instead blamed the new mall development being far from the court. After deliberating on it, they voted unanimously on letting it for 3 years and see how it goes. With no money to rent it whole, Wakanda "Waki" Murungu negotiated for him to lease the property rather with a verbal agreement to sell to him when he's ready to buy, of which it won by majority vote.
Waki started with cleaning the whole place, met with tenants over levy, and engaged the town council over water and lights issues. He made an application for a zoning certificate and got it. He gave tenants a notice of 60 days as his plan was to convert the court from residential property to commercial property in the form of an office block. The conversion took a month and got first corporate tenants in. Since then, the face of Gorowa Street was changed forever.
The benefits of his conversion sold his vision in the first month as the electricity bill was down, the lease agreements had with tenants gave him certainty for future income, wear and tear rate will be low because of lesser occupancy than in the case of residential set-up. To attract more tenants the name was changed to Eudia BizPark, and it did good.
In seven months the office block was fully occupied and with 19 of all 22 tenants having had medium term leases signed. Waki's brother, Chuaniya, who worked in Maputo came back to be a part of the running success. They worked alongside each other and making improvements here and there. After a trial run of 18 months, they called a meeting. Waki and Chuaniya wanted to buy the block from them as they showed that they were capable of running it better than them, of which they then refused. The management felt it best they signed with them a long-term lease and the two had no choice but to accept or else they lose it. They signed a 15 year deal.
8 years later, a Portuguese property development company made an offer on the property and the management accepted, thus leaving Waki and Chuaniya with no business to run. The company bought the block because of them, and so, they made them an offer of being their property managers of not only Eudia but of all their properties in the whole of Mozambique. The move knocked the old management as they thought they were out for good, but no. The brothers took the challenge head on and made success of the 13 commercial property portfolio under their guard. In 4 years they were made a deal with the company to buy them a small office block and they will pay back the loan with interest, and they got it.
They soon resigned as property managers from the company and graduated to being a portfolio management agency, and were successful at it. That saw them grow from strength to strength, and they never looked back.
Q_why did the management refuse to sell to them?
Scenario 51
She gave up her child after first birth to a
stranger who was moving to another region, so she won't have any regret
whenever she sees him or be connected to him in any way. Today it came back the
wrong way and it bit her. Fortunately for her, she's got no husband or other
children to answer to, but it pains her.
Guadalupe's plans of being a flight attendant was
a stint of only 7 years. She was forced out of work because of her love for
money that cost her the dream job she had. She was found after a sting operation
by the Mexican authorities. Guadalupe was a drug mule who got arrested,
sentenced and served 15 years term at Barrientos State Prison. She was there
for 11 years of them and got released at the age of 41.
On her day out, she was taken by sitio taxi to a
shanty village where she stayed for 5 months being trained by people she didn't
know. For accommodation, she paid with her body. She slept with young boys aged
18 to 24, and privacy not afforded as she bathed in their presence and them too
in her presence. It was painful to witness. One night she slept with a
youngling who's only 16, and she discovered the following morning when he was
involved in a fight with another who was 19. She was a good day into her 42
when it happened.
The end of her shame came to pass when she was
moved to Mexico City to stay with another woman named Carolina. Together they
ran an adult entertainment agency that they didn't know whom it is for, but
just knowing there's a boss. They were running bookings for high society class
members who were looking for one date experience or something of that nature
with the boys. To her surprise, a lot of them were popular faces that were
their staples, whom she thought of as being straight but to them not and she
can't tell anyone. The worst was a celebrity pastor and public opposer of
same-sex marriages, and a homophobic figure who was a regular and one of the
few favourites among boys as he gave them the chocolate box not like many who
dipped their sticks in them.
Guadalupe and Carolina were managing an
underground sex feed ring. The sad part was that all her dreams were now dead
and regretting her past decisions daily. The resort, La Riszme, was not big or
marketed but served the connected who made use of their blue rooms. At times
she or Carolina had to entertain the clients themselves. There was this popular
US pop star that used to fly in regularly to have her massage and close the
session with a cherry round off. She was a lesbian, and wanted only Guadalupe
to pleasure her.
At La Riszme, they dealt with ever naked young
boys who were entertaining high, mighty and powerful faces. Bankers, artists,
sports personalities, politicians, professionals, academics, you name them,
came there for their boys' services. 75% of their business was through M2M, a
clear sign that with money and power, male species want to explore and satisfy
their curiosity and others cure their guilty sins at their alter. The boys aged
18 to 28, were all bisexual and once they reach their sell-by date taken out
and never to be seen again. Almost all of them were not even Mexicans. Guadalupe
was coining it but having not much time and freedom to enjoy her pesos, and not
saving any for anyone as she was disowned by her family.
One
night when she had a steamy scene with one of the boys who was in charge of
organizing boys in the operation, told her the boys were sourced from
everywhere in the world. They are here thinking they found work. The bosses run
a jobs scam to attract them and when they're done, they poison them and
released. They don't last over 2 hours and once go to the police, they keep you
there long enough to see your end and dump you at the government's body fridge.
He told her they make approximately MXN 4 to 6 million a month. He too didn't
know the main boss as he connects with bosses who are tasked by the other
bosses who are close to the main boss. The only thing he knows is that the main
boss is a ruthless retired gay politician whom the top male earners are the
ones who gets to enjoy his company and top pleasure scenes with him. It's also
rumoured he slept with all his cabinet of bosses, first and second tiers. She
was into a life she can't get out of.
A week after she welcomed a slim medium-height
Kikapuan pilot who was there for their massage and for dessert to pamper him
with one of their newest arrival commodities who'll play with his body all day.
When busy with the massage, he pulled Guadalupe's towel and demanded she leave
it down, said it enhanced his mood. He was also enjoying his fiddling with her
genitalia. It was only until he turned and exposing his front that Guadalupe
saw a birthmark she never got right erasing from her mind, a crooked C-mark on
his abdominal area, just below the umbilical cord. Realizing she was with her
son, she tried avoiding further contact but the young pilot got more demanding
and worst was watching him masturbate in front of her while playing with her
labias. She dropped her tears and the boy thought she loved it and did more
until he had another eruption and ended the session spanking her on his way out
in his birthday suit, telling her to bring his clothes to cube 33. He was on
his way to choose his mate for the day by the poolside where they hang nude
waiting for master mates to choose whom they desire among them.
Guadalupe picked up his clothes and smelled them
for about ten minutes or so, shedding tears. She was shuttered, hated herself,
hated her job and her decision, her only child is a pilot and just played
masseuse to him. Still in there, Carolina found her crying and listened to her
story. Just after that, told her nobody cares about her personal life as to
them it doesn't exist, and that she shouldn't go to see the pilot again as she
may mess up. By then, Carolina was playing with her titties to remind her why
she's there, to entertain anyone no matter who they are. It was a
catch22 on her, go to tell the pilot he’s her son and risk her bosses dealing
with her, or get the pilot’s details and escape to him, or just stay there?
Q_what were you to
do after coming out of jail? What would've you done after realizing that the
pilot is your son?
Scenario 50
Blank,,,a serene spot synonymous with Hollywood deal makers. Sally Oettl came with a very different approach to selling space. She created a spot where people can meet for rendezvous, or interviews, or for any particular reason in peace and quiet. With Blank she hit the market right with none in competition to her.
Blank is situated right in bustling downtown Los Angeles and but once inside a world apart. She has constructed it with triple layers of sound deadening material. It's so peaceful and quiet in there and that's what she's in business for, selling space for people to meet at within the city centre without noise and disturbance. At face value it isn't expensive, $12,50c per fifteen minutes. No refreshments or water or anything, just space and WiFi connection that's all. For a lot of deal makers it's ideal as they get enclosed in a cubicle and do their business discreetly.
Sally is a smart woman who intimidates most average men as they can't keep up with her witted nature. A lot don't understand that she's a business woman and as such she's wired differently, while she's also independent and self-sufficient in her own right. The other business she runs is a night club that she doesn't operate but rents out in rotation of days. She owns the shell and license, and all fixtures inside and outside are by competing breweries. If you rent to host for the night, it means you have to make sure you sell. Because of her exposure to celebrity bosses, her club was used as a set for music videos and movies, and currently shooting a talk show in it. Her club is a tourist attraction that she cashes in on via her club vlog.
Thanking her only daughter and child, Kim, for making her vision real, she bought her a superbike she always nagged her for. A month after she was involved in a collision and died. Because of the nature of their business, celebrities and some Hollywood executives attended the funeral. Just that was enough for some gossip mongers not having a clue of what they do for a living, a rumour mill paddled news that she is one of the Illuminati and that she used her daughter as sacrifice to syphon money from celebrities.
Thing is, Kim knew her mom is a very private and reserved person who doesn't want the spotlight, so she told people she's working for someone so she could shield her. Sally asked Raul, Kim's boyfriend to continue running the businesses as he did with Kim. Due to his frequenting Sally's residence, rumours spread that the pair killed her so they could be together. To make it worse was a visit by the police to ask her questions pertaining to her closeness with Raul. That put a strain on their business relationship and mutually decided to end the arrangement.
Sally hired a celebrity manager and that made more wonders for her business. The new manager, Ziffen, commissioned an ad shooting at the club for a big wrestling star, "DaRespirator" and bookings for the club hosting more than doubled. The rumours weren't dying down though as doubt got renewed when Sally's sister got involved in a tragic hiking trail accident and died. To them, it was Sally using them as sacrifices for her to again syphon more money from celebrities.
Some few months later, Sally became closer to her late sister's husband, Darryl Heidegger. It became clear to everyone in the family on the day they were celebrating her posthumous birthday that the two are close. The family had no problem with it and in a year's time they tied the knot in a low key event. Her business profile was revealed as her stepchildren wanted everyone to know about their family life, something that Sally just tolerated. That helped as now people knew she's been running a business and not taking money from celebrities using rituals and sacrifices.
Q_why was Sally quiet all along even with such allegations against her? What's your understanding about rituals and sacrifices? Did Sally kill her sister for her husband?
Scenario 49
Judging by the labels he accessorize his body with and choice in apparel adornment, you could tell his taste is offensively expensive. He's a crazied fan of Sojourner and NurxEipeir. His wife a direct companion match as she too same as him, love exclusive stuff. They live the brands they sell.
Ronell and Lisa Mori are one of a kind match made in heaven couple who are joint owner managers of an exclusive boutique franchise, Ananita's He+She. They had two registered in their names. The chain had a footprint of 67 stores in the whole of Australia. Lisa was a modiste for a rival headgear fashion label when she met Ronell who was an in-house photographer and graphic designer for a fashion and beauty magazine. They dated for a year before he put a ring on it. Eight months thereafter they signed for their first store.
Now at a footlift launch of Sojourner's best-selling males and females footwear range. The brand did something special for the power couple. They had a deal to have their shoes go with a footcare product range in their names. Unlike anything you've seen or heard of, the footcare product range is a package of he+she padded base socks and knee high padded base stockings, footcap, foot wax and moisturizer, underfoot scraper, foot perfume, and a designer nail clipper, all branded R&L Mori. When you step the earth's surface, it's their printed names you'll be wrapping your foot with in style. The brand worked with them because of the many pics they saw of them in their stuff on social media pages. To the couple, it wasn't about money, but rather the celebration of their love and recognition from their favorite brand.
The collection of Sojourner and NurxEipeir in their walk-in closet was impressive. Instead of taking money, they opted for a new store signed to them by the franchisors. Seeing that they already have two in Sydney, they cast their net to Melbourne. The golden power couple were minting it. The ingenious footcare range was a success that made Ananita's a popular yet exclusive name, especially the much talked about R&L Mori footcap and foot perfume.
In four months the brand's estimated sales were met two months earlier and by the seventh month surpassed the year's target. The couple was rewarded with a weekend getaway and them mentioning it in social media drove sales more as it showed the gratitude Sojourner had for the two. As a sub-brand R&L Mori helped Ananita's He+She retain the market positions of both Sojourner and NurxEipeir as exclusive premium brands yet driving foot traffic through R&L Mori, and it worked out better than it was planned.
The sales kept a massive growth of double digits for 4 years running before dropping to singles in maintenance of 7,8% minimum, with counterfeit replicas the main culprit. By then, the footcare range was sold also in China and Europe through a network of other fashion stores and Ananita's online store.
Ronell and Lisa never relaxed, they grew with the brand to the extent of them opening their tenth and last physical franchise store, double their initial plan, and rounding it off with renewed vows in their new mega mansion along the coastline suburb of St.Kilda in Melbourne with their adopted son, Elon.
Q_which brand are you fond of? Do you wear it for the love of it or for attention from it? What will you do if they don't notice you? Is franchising a rewarding business plan for you?

Scenario 48
Dakhone Yarun is a food designer and technologist. He went to McGill University in Canada. He is popularly known as Dakh 1. He is extremely handsome and but failing to catch what he wish for because he's by nature so quiet that he even prefer using sign language to communicate than say anything.
Dakhone had a younger sister, Rahina, whom was very very close to and loved with all of his heart. She committed suicide after suffering all kinds of gender based abuse and violence against her by their stepfather. What drove her to that decision was the fact that their mother was not supporting her throughout the whole ordeal and when she voiced it out her mother would tell those concerned that Rahina and her brother were blackmailing them, then none continued lending them their ear.
Everything became clear on the day she died and the stepfather beat the hell out of their mother for advising her bustard to kill herself whilst knowing fully well they won't afford her burial. She couldn't bury her as she was still in hospital. Dakhone by then was quiet and watching as everything unfolded in front of him. The burial day was then he vowed to keep quiet as a remedy for his pain.
The man used to beat him with anything at his disposal when trying to side with Rahina. One day he strangled him until he soiled himself and helped by Rahina through offering herself to him and then he stopped, concentrated on her and was that the last day he saw her alive. Since then, Dakhone channeled his energy and pain to drawing and spending most of his time in the kitchen trying to role in her sister's place.
After high school, a social worker by the name of Clara assisted him and found a scholarship program that Dakhone got slotted in, in Canada. He studied Food Design and Technology. During his schooling, in the last year of their course, they had to do a business plan of the business they'd like to have once graduated. His was the second best that year, and the seventeenth best in 41 years.
Going back home he got a job in a candy making factory but didn't stay long. He had another at a supermarket but quit and stayed home at Clara's. He kept applying until he got a job of his dreams exactly two years in search. During his interview he told them about his business plan from school, and they took him on the spot. The company, Ladila Foods, is a big Italian based factory for processed foods, based in Port-au-Prince. Ladila Foods loved his business plan and bought it from him through a deal that gave him a position as a participant on the projects team. He was just a step above the line management team, responsible for guidance and projects planning.
This meant he had to grow up fast and he did. What his employers didn't know about him was that he is a dancehall music fan and also its aspirant singer. His Dark1 nickname is actually for his dark complexion and is a pseudonym in the circles. This started in high school but subsided because of his pain as love for food took over. Now that he was there on the food side, his music love knocked back and he opened its doors.
He started attending dancehall clubs and started collecting music again. While doing that, he went back to writing. He bought studio equipment and set up a home studio. In no time he released an EP that got the club scene crazied called Tinkaria. It's vibe had Italian influence vibe to it and one colleague leaked it to the management and they loved it. Soon Dark1 was the face of Ladila Foods, and his beat used in all ads internationally.
In no time the words "Ladila Ladila tinkaria" were allover the internet. His mother, who drifted apart from him was regretting her actions of past and ran away from her love nest with the cruel stepfather. It was a rainy day when she sat on the doorstep of the plush block of flats where Dakhone resided. She braved the cold weather and waited till he arrived to a nasty surprise. She asked for forgiveness and both went in.
It was for the first time they met in six years, and for the first two hours he was crying and so was the mother. Dakhone got to know the reason for his stepfather's root of his anger, he couldn't bear children. That night they never slept, they talked and talked until the morning. He called in sick and spent more time with his mother.
On the career fronts Dakhone was doing fine. Within four months he bought a free stand house in the city of Port-au-Prince. Dark1 released follow up singles and became a household superstar who performed alongside the likes of his idol megastars, Wyclef Jean, Qwote, Emeline Michel and Sweet Micky. His growth meant that of Ladila Foods too that they ended up with him signing an endorsement deal with them for G 30million. Odd thing was he kept his job.
Day came that Clara reunited with Dakhone and his mother. Instead of her being grateful for her troubles with her son, she acted otherwise but Clara handled her professionally and they parted. She understood it was guilt eating at her failure to give her son the key to his door of abundant living he's now in.
A few days later, he received a call from a friend of Clara's, advising him to review his deal with Ladila and enter into a swap deal for equity. Knowing he can't do it alone, asked him to come over and assist him with that. He did, and they had a fruitful meeting with the company representatives, concluded with Dakhone owning 2,5% of Ladila Foods (Western Caribbean). The relationship with the advisor grew into entertainment industry and the two wreaked havoc. D1B Media grew phenomenally.
Seeing some negative behavior from his mother as she talked evil of anything that had Clara's name to it, Dakhone decided to buy his mother a small house in the outskirts of the city in Cite Soleil (The METI Project) and deployed a maid for her. He slowly relapsed to the very position he was with her and in a year's time they were lost from each other as he sold his house for a bigger one in Petion-Ville sans telling her. Whenever he communicates with her was through a third party.

Whenever he communicates with her was through a third party.
Nineteen months later she died a sad woman. Two weeks before her death, she was telling everyone that Clara came to see her and said that she won't find her son as she's got him all to herself, and that Clara made tea for her that she never wanted to drink herself but she did though tasted funny. This allegations grew stronger after the postmortem report confirmed food poisoning. It soon became a lead story in entertainment industry and confusing in that Clara died of poisoning herself three weeks prior to Dark1's mother's claims. It became clear there was foul play somewhere. Dakhone was torn apart that he didn't even go to bury his mother because of the embarrassment left behind by her toxic tendencies. He went back to being quiet again.
Q_what actually happened to the fate of the two mother figures in Dakhone's life? Whom should he side with? Why?
Scenario 47
Adv. Mshabula is a very known thought leader who is firm and a staunch believer in good governance. His wife, Zuwena, is a lecturer of Theological studies at Daints Bible College, which is attached to Daints University. Adv. Mshabula is also a business executive, but not running the business, a role some outside the circles failed to comprehend at times.
He is a non-executive-director who seats on the board of a company on advisory level. All those who are with him on the advisory board are same as him, except for the board chairman who is the Company Chairman and Group CEO, Mr Ragovorelo. He advises on matters of governance. His two daughters and son, Emendy, Shembi and Fodike are nothing like them. Emendy is a livestock ranch farmer who started out with arable farming, and Shembi is a broadcast journalist, while Fodike is still trying to find his place in the spaces he frequently occupies. Their family was very progressive with just him being the dark horse in their stall, and but still loved regardless.
Airgace Holdings, a mega multinational Kenyan company that Adv. Mshabula is a board member of, just got entangled in a lawsuit that revealed a bottling contract scandal that is making headlines across the country and internationally via social media. The news of the scandal involves big names in Madagascar's corporate circles. The likes of Mike Gottfried, Thelma Kalemba, Gappy Ndoro to mention those thought to be clean on the executive board, and worse was the main man, Madagascan chartered accountant Mr Dino Immet Ragovorelo who knew but chose to keep quiet, and that touching also the integrity of the advisory team seated on the board, especially the much popular Adv. Mshabula. It is a shocking revelation to hit the country.
The kick back scandal came to surface after one of the security personnel stumbled upon a secret recording of a caucus of three executive incumbents, Mr Mwololo, Mrs Nafuna and Mr Saitoti. It was inside a desktop that Mr Saitoti left downloading tender bidding material on the PPIP when he experienced a power cut. The head of security then came in as usual to chat about football results after Simba wa Nairobi lost to Coast Stima. Because of power cut, they sat doing nothing and just before it got back on, a sudden loud bang was heard after tyre screeching. It was an accident just outside of Airgace's gate. Mr Saitoti went out to check what happened. In a matter of few seconds the power was on.

Mr Saitoti went out to check what happened. In a matter of few seconds the power was on.
As the security guy knows Mr Saitoti's password because of him letting him do some of his work on his behalf in exchange for lunch money on it, he opened the computer so he can go online to download all the weekend results from the KPL website. Once the browser opened, the last page visited was displayed and he went on to open a new tab to download from the football site. After downloading, he discovered a folder in downloads section called classifieds, that he also out of curiosity downloaded as well, closed the tab and went out.
Once at home, the security guy, Nuru, checked the folder. Yoh,,,he found some mindblowing stuff that he then blackmailed Mr Saitoti with. Mr Saitoti secretly dealt with it with the fear of him exposing his secret, doing business with the state without disclosing it. The other misconduct is that the content is downloaded at work with the company's computer and internet connection. After a month and a half, he asked for a favour from his friend in BFUI to deal with it. He arranged for a warrant to arrest Nuru on the grounds of extortion. Nuru got arrested and a day later his wife told her neighbours that her husband's arrest is associated with the fraud at Airgace Holdings. It caught on very fast.
With a sigh of relief and thinking he got rid of the thorn, a serious scandal hit the current affairs boulevards of Nairobi that frightened to sweep Airgace's image and reputation like dust in the wind. The secret recording between him, Mrs Nafuna and Mr Mwololo. He had no recollection of himself sharing the folder with anyone, stressful was that the other two didn't know he has such in his possession as he recorded them secretly. The other two were puzzled by that when it emerged that the information was in the hands of Mr Saitoti.
The company's executive board seated and tempers flared as the canvas lid was opened on two major corporate secrets leaked and the third being that of a secret recording of executive incumbents plus Mr Saitoti's non-disclosure in doing business with the state, not mentioning abuse of company resources.
At the end of the day, two resolutions were reached and moved on. The first was for the Chief Communications Officer to release a statement in conjunction with the Chief Compliance Officer to challenge allegations levelled against the company, and the second be to suspend Executive Directors Mr Saitoti, Mr Mwololo and Mrs Nafuna with immediate effect. The following morning Mr Saitoti and Mrs Nafuna resigned jointly.
Adv. Mshabula was challenged as the whiff was still strong and his image was tainted by Mr. Mwololo when he said he was ill advised by the advisory board when he asked what'll happen should the information be out when they said they're there for such to be prevented. Also why Adv. Mshabula wasn't vocal about firing them instead of the recommendation they made for them to be suspended. Asked if he is failing to do so because he was often seen with Mrs Nafuna after church services as they fellowship at the same church. Lastly that he should've advised the CCO to admit the company's wrong and apologized to the public than blaming suspended incumbents with the hope of pinning them down with golden handshakes they publicly undeclared so for them to take blame. Where was Adv. Mshabula's integrity and good governance in that?
At home Adv. Mshabula was not having it easy. His wife demanded he resign as his association with Airgace is compromising her position because Airgace funds the College's ethics and morals program. His children also not having it easy as he is caught up in between making money, clearing his name first and redeeming his reputation before any drastic move. He ended up resigning due to family pressure.
Mr Ragovorelo expressed his disappointment and regret in having appointed an advisor who jumps ship immediately after the company hits a minor hurdle, said he shouldn't have been gullible in the first place by rhetorical masquerading of a weak hearted loud mouth.
A few moments after the fouled public fulmination, a post by Fodike on social media was shared in response to what got said about his father. It read: "at least he had the guts to stand against what's wrong unlike you who protected it from the beginning and now acting as if it's news to you. Something big about where you're from is on its way, and soon enough the true weakling shall be revealed to the public."
The media was abuzz and an hour later he responded by saying: "what do you know? Who fed you lies about me? I never said anything about your father. The media misquoted me." Fodike never responded and kept conversations with others online. Mr Ragovorelo finally apologized to Adv. Mshabula and also admitted to having known for a long time and that it happened before he was even appointed to the advisory board. He then distanced himself from Mr Mwololo's tasteless utterances.
Fodike surprised his family as he gave his father power again. From that day on, his father never treated him asame, more so after his media profiling.
Q_what's the first wrong committed by Mr Saitoti? What was Adv. Mshabula supposed to do at first instance? What's most pressing issue about the situation?
Scenario 46
Caroni Water Care n Treatment (CWCT Solutions) is a traditionally run regional business. Darwin Blanco has been with the company almost from inception, that's why he thought of himself more as qualified to take over the position of Director of Operations from his currently occupied of Project Manager for 11 years now after being an Operations Manager for 6 and a half years.
After being with CWCT for 22 years of its 26 year history, he was thought to have the experience necessary to be the D.O by even some of his colleagues. On the day of the interview he was questioned standard interview stuff, but one question that puzzled him was the one about whether or not he's prepared to do anything to be a director, and to what extent? He said he was prepared to forego a higher bracket and willing to take the minimum on the starting notch as long as he can be the director. So, they asked for the sake of clarity if he was willing to compromise his worth for a title, and he said yes.
Then, four days after the interview, Darwin was called into the boardroom to be informed that he didn't make it. The reason which was given to him was that he doesn't have what the family wants. He stormed out of the boardroom straight to the parking lot and sat in his car for a long time, then made a cellphone call before driving out slowly. Few minutes later, called human resources department to know who's been appointed and got told it's Sebastian Zavala, a rookie technician with 2 years experience in first line management. Sebastian is the nephew of CWCT's board chairman.
He took the legal route to challenge it, and dragged on to the level of labour court. On the second appearance, the judge was visited in private over the matter. The HR manager showed him something from the chairman and the judge changed his tune when delivering his verdict.
After losing he resigned to go and start a water care and treatment consultancy in Ciudad Guayana. His wife, Ainett, also quit her marketing job and became part of the consultancy. Their son, Diego, who did IT was assisting with the tech stuff for researches and soon their consultancy gained popularity. All competitors of CWCT went to him. On the other side, Sebastian was not having it easy without the experience of Darwin by his side.
One day he surprised Darwin with a visit. The challenge was he's failing the family and their business, and not wanting to be a disappointment. So he did a deal with them to do his work and he takes the glory and pays them for that. Darwin and Ainett raised the bar for Sebastian and all of a sudden got appointed the COO.
After seeing the value of Darwin and Ainett, he decided to appoint them officially but the board disapproved. The reason was that he was doing a stellar job and should keep his momentum as he may be deviated from his track by the appointment of an outside source. The real reason was that the board knew about his deal with Darwin and Ainett, and was benefiting the company free of charge. What sold him out was his failure to check the style of writing and give it his touch. It was clear from the first report that he was getting help from outside, and after looking closely into the delivery style found it to be that of Darwin. He did that for 3 years until he quit and joined Darwin so he could learn from him, but he put him far from himself so he won't take anything from him and go back to CWCT with. After sensing mistrust from the team at Blanco Consulting, Sebastian ended up quitting after 10 months of getting nothing out of Darwin especially from the Orinoco Midlands water project which was never made known to him what it's actually about. He went back to school.
Q_what do you think was shown or told to the judge in the chambers? Is the deal Sebastian had with Darwin fair? How would you've treated Sebastian as your employee? Why?

Scenario 45
It was on that day when she had to ask herself about her position to her husband when a marriage counseling expert asked if she's near him, next to him or close to him, given the state of their marital challenges. She failed to give a straight answer and but the husband said he's of late reduced to being a known stranger and that he wished he were a familiar stranger to her at least, as everything changed the night he knew her. Said further that he should have uncovered his root too quick to parade for her validation.
There was a talk out already by her friends about their troubles in paradise. It was bad for business in that their staff were caught in between the drama. Their two years of marriage was now a sensationalized drama that was denting the business and their personal images, especially his. Worse was the fact that the husband was in love with her wife but the wife not into him sadly. The problem was that he came to the ploughing field with a chisel while others used to come with pickaxes. How will he work his land?
The last nail in the coffin was the day he left his car at the car wash and head home by foot. Unaware of him, he overheard his wife, seated with a friend in the lounge where they were having a silly talk and her friend asked where George (unknown to him) was and his wife said he was there the day before yesterday when the jackpot was at the racecourse. They laughed and clapped hands. She went on to say that George is different from the jackpot, he is a machine, he's the real thing. Said his hips are flexible as a spring, unlike the rusted suspension she's subjected to by the jackpot, with a burst of revved up laughter this time. Before they heard his footsteps, he turned and went out to the nearest bar to grab one. He knew it was over.
Not wanting to fight her, called his lawyer to draft papers for divorce, and but the lawyer set for them an appointment with a marriage counselor to be sure if there's no way they may reconsider. The session report came out clear that there's no turning back. He wanted nothing from the estate except their business. Without a contest, the woman settled for taking the house and three sleek cars while him the business and one ugly delivery truck.
Q_woman, does size really matter compared to love, success and security? Man, is sex after marriage an advisable principle? What was wrong and what was right here? Why?

Scenario 44
She was in a bus when the conversation about investment opportunities cracked wide open. Reila Guzman was on her way back from a church conference in Santiago del Estero when her friend Catalina Navarro introduced to her an investment scheme. After hearing that Reila was interested, and Catalina recommended that Reila talk to her son about it.
Catalina's son, Thiago, took her to Vinushi who is a forex trader, specializing in pensioners funds. He impressed Reila and transactions were concluded sans Catalina's knowledge. Weeks went by and she went to Catalina to talk to her and her son about Vinushi. Truth is that Vinushi has disappeared with her money and Catalina's son has to know. Thiago claimed to not knowing where he was and that he's actually not his friend but a random guy he knew only by seeing.
Not believing that, Reila went to the cop shop to lay a charge against the two. They were arrested as part of the syndicate that scams pensioners. Catalina, out of fear of her and son going to jail for what they don't know, cut a deal with Reila to pay her back all her money. Getting out, word was already out that they are scammers and they tried scamming her friend Reila but failed and got arrested for it. Others who were scammed started giving her nasty looks.
She was now a bad person for trying to advise a friend. When trying to explain herself to people, was evident none saw it her way and for how it is. Her son on the other hand constantly blaming her for advising people on things she doesn't know. It was tense. She spent 4 years and five months working hard to pay off the debt she didn't benefit a thing from.
Q_what lesson did you get from this? What would you do if it were you in the shoes of Catalina?
Scenario 43
Fresh out of her e-class straight into an interview to get to the depth of her claim, and still said it. "Eating bones a risk to human health as the chemicals used to fast track the growth of today's animals rest there, in the bones. What the chemicals do is develop their flesh and strengthen their bones unorganically. To make them have appeal to eye and added weight, they inject brine into them after slaughter before packaging, eating deboned meat with first water drained after being half cooked your chance at eating better though not entirely healthier meat" and when asked about brown sugar, maintained it's not as healthy as they say. "It's bad for your bowel system but a topic for another day."
The media was abuzz with her unfazed statement as the meat industry was turned upside down. Them trying to pour cold water to her claims made the whole republic be in support of her. Taiwan was now rallying behind the youngest female professor on its books, Yi-Wachem Chuang. She was vocal and fierce, thus the medical association riled at their so-called untenable claims. They even threatened to struck her off the roll of medical professionals and practitioners if she continues. To that, she pressed on.
Those in support of her from within ranks were silenced immediately. Interestingly, international media was keeping tabs on developments of her campaign. It only got worse when the meat industry association called a press conference to allay public fears that the direct opposite was realized. The media took their statement and read it back to them, and mess created when they themselves started changing their position in go against their very media statement. That sparked chaos.
In just 45 minutes the contradiction was trending on social media and by then them choosing to keep quiet with fear of messing up further. Everything was against them. Worse was the health ministry's decision to endorse the diplomacy adopted by the meat industry association by not commenting. The story was snowballing too quick for them to keep, that's why their approach.
In a week's time, calls from business were now heard about answers from the Taiwanese international relations ministry. At least them, with their admission of having heard from insiders they engage with are waiting for a report on the young professor's claims. Closing the lid was their further acceptance that there's definitely a smoke where there's fire, and as such they need to verify if indeed the fire came from the suspected source.
Just after that statement, the media moved to new headline scoops and the young professor's claims were now a thing of the past. After gathering evidence to support her claims, nobody was still interested. But what one restaurant chain did though, was run an advert thanking her for adding a new item to their menu, de-boned meat, which was a sensational hit. Her awareness was poorly orchestrated given her age, left her image bruised and doors not only closed on her but locked only for her. A year later after loud inactivity she was married to a journalist and reduced to being a stay-at-home mom as she was expecting her first.
Q_as a meat consumer, what do you make of her claims? To you, was the international relations ministry truthful about their engagement with experts? How should the professor's approach been? Why?

Scenario 42
On his latest sensational book launch, titled "Experience: the mind and heart IP", he was surrounded by the publishing world's very own royalty in the likes of David Cameron Fischers, Sahir Moodley, Thelma V Gibson, Yukon Xi, Reynold Sepp Bunyan, Lisa El-Marie Scheepers (Africa's best selling author) to mention but a few.

The launch dominated the headlines as it did the diaries of the affluent. It made for the record of the most A-list attended book launch ever in the history of the publishing world. Day later, his office line was ringing non-stop. He was scheduled to appear in a dozen libraries and halls a day for the coming 66 days countywide. His sponsorships and endorsement deals were overwhelming that he had to decline some that were duplicates. His success wasn't anticipated, therefore nothing major was planned from his manager's side.
His turn of tide was the result of his new PR agency, ListOn PR, owing it's existence to underrated publicist Liston Shakur-Omar. Liston got a simple brief from the author's Manager, Eric Jones, to give the author a befitting unup chapter of his writing career, themed 'brain your memory to bank' and he just did that. Liston partnered with a business consulting firm, DOTcirq, to deliver his unup magic. DOTcirq specializes in scalability management, hence they were ideal for his task.
The author, Rashan Davis, an MBA and PHD graduate with Jamaican roots, is a man of less action but with many words. When asked for a speech he said less and opened by saying: "thanks I heeded to the calls of her flowing silence, Mississippi the river of my crying blessings. Finally, Kingston unearthed a soul that listened to the power that word has to ink the American way" and when ending said this: "a mind of a man must pay him handsomely and if not, should sell reserves of his thinking, for knowledge of his not used a wasted resid to his capacity.

He gained popularity and amassed respect from the high ranking personalities.
At age 51, after having had 6 other books published in a span of 18 years, Mr Davis never had seen such happening in his life. He was used to low turnouts and sales of 10 000 copies and less. Today alone, pre-orders were in the region of 43 000, making this a two-third of his all time sales achieved thus far. This book was his last, the only he wrote and finished at home in Minneapolis, his finest.
The following months saw the rise in sales of his previous books through archive reviews by ListOn. He didn't know what to expect more and what more to say to them whenever he went into briefings with them, he was ever emotional and humbled for they uplifted him. American and global academia were making noise over the quality of his work, he poured starch to paper, as they put it. He was now the pride of his own shadow and clan. He was living his longtime dream and having a blast of his existence.
He made enough in less than half-a-year than he did in his entire publishing career. Approached with an offer for another title to succeed Experience, said he's fulfilled by his achievements and is not going to ruin it with something that won't supersede his best work ever. He was the now crowd puller and raking it in and a guest speaker in many a corporate function.

Scenario 41
The winter cold blanketed the windows with dancing mist drips. Fellina was singing along to the tune of 'Dilong' by mi_ddwebb ft Djamiki & 7hefinest on non-stop repeat after having consumed a lot of Amapiano. The beautiful French girl is deeply in love with South African music. Fellina stays in a commune in Vesoul with 7 other Paul Morel Hospital nurses and 3 others who were not their colleagues.
At 28, she was already experienced at her work. One day on her way back from work she got a lift from her senior colleague's cousin who's the manager of Hotel Du Notre Argent, by the name of Gaspard. He got intrigued by how versed Fellina was about business and how single she was for a smart and beautiful woman as she. He dropped her at their gate and left. They did that thrice and on the fourth time got invited in for a drink. On that day they declared their interests and love for each other.
She is a simple suburban Taurus from a middle-class family of a chaplain and a teacher, while Gaspard is from a poor background. His mother a cleaner at a hospice and father a retired taxi driver. The two dated for four months and Gaspard asked her to accompany him to a work gala event in Avignon and she said yes. In her mind, she was thinking that Gaspard is going to propose as a surprise.
Day came and they were chauffeured in a company limousine. The table they were seated was that of executives and having her as his partner Gaspard knew he won't be embarrassed. The bosses liked her and were all in favour of her being an ideal prospective executive's wife material. There was one small issue that Gaspard didn't anticipate at all, a duel with his boss for a spouse, and that was brewing. Fellina impressed Gaspard's boss so much that he even made him feel his power time and again. His remarks and behavior were intended to unsettle him in front of his partner.
To put Gaspard out of the race instantly, he realized quickly how Fellina was mad about South African music and in passing mentioned his wish to find a partner to fly to Durban with in two weeks time. Then, he asked intentionally where Gaspard would love to go for Honeymoon, and he said Paris with pride. With a burst of laughter, told him how domesticated he is, and said further that what a partner of Fellina's stature needed to make her happy was something adventurous and out there than local thinking. By then he was winning, judging by how blushing Fellina was at every glance from the boss.
On their way back home Gaspard tried to revive himself by talking about his goals and dreams but was late. Fellina's head was filled with the boss. Worse was when Gaspard confirmed to her that he is for real single as he claimed in the conversation. Fellina's mind was then made up and heart done with Gaspard. The following day she dumped Gaspard for her availability for his boss. She made a call to his office and was directed to his PA who fixed an appointment with the boss's right hand man. She spoke to him thinking it was the man she wanted to talk to. After hearing that, the boss, DX, called her from his office line not his private line to arrange for their rendezvous.
They met after her night shift and spent some time together. He thought she was a groupie type but realized she really is a rounded person. Immediately after dropping her off he could tell he's ready to spend the rest of his life with her. Funny though, was quite the opposite with her as she felt he came on her too strong with probing questions. And to her surprise, he did arrange for them to go to South Africa. They were happy for the two weeks before flying out. They had a blast of a week together in South Africa and she got to meet a lot of interesting people there thanks to his connections. It was a dream come true for her. She collected a lot of music through an online friend she finally got to meet in person, called Kgageng, who sourced new tunes for her. She got her 18 gigabytes of music to go home with. They flew back a happy woman.

She got her 18 gigabytes of music to go home with. They flew back a happy woman.
DX didn't hesitate after being back, he proposed to her and she said yes. They got engaged for five months then married. She thanked herself for the leap of faith she took with him. She was asked to leave her job to join the hospitality industry but she refused, and kept her job. Two months later, an offer from a private hospital was sent to her and she accepted. It was from her husband's associate, and she was immediately promoted. DX didn't want for her to be too comfortable and soon bought into the idea of introducing hospitality nurses services as a bait to have her run the program as its head but still refused.
Whilst in bed, one evening, she asked DX what his plan was with that program, she got sold because he was honest about wanting her up there and running a program not the business as he understood she's not the business type. She loved it and started developing it further. They launched it and was a hit. People flocked to their hotels as a result especially the older generation for that service.
They ran also a corporate program with which they disrupted the status quo of the industry. It now became a norm for French executives to meet over gym and eat healthy after sessions in the morning and late. On capitalizing on the success of that service, Fellina advised him to rebrand their hotels and call them by one name as it was expensive introducing the service because of the many hotel names they had. In all they were 24, and with each having its own name. She suggested du Notropis Hotels and, the board cheered for it.
It wasn't easy to soften DX on that, but got to see the benefit of one name one advert campaign and liked it, though he loved the group of hotels name than hotel chain as it sounded mega to him. To his surprise, the rebranding exercise saw his business grow by 26%. By then he knew Fellina has got it in her, just that she needed in through what she loves and now got hooked. She eventually out of her own will quit her job to run the service full-time.
Out of happiness, he bought a chopper for Fellina and she advised him to build helipads in all their hotels so she could be in many spots with ease. After two months of construction, she introduced a service to executives to fly them over for meetings and it paid for the price he bought it for. He was overjoyed by how she was thinking. Soon they were the trendsetters in the hospitality industry. After seeing how good Fellina was, Gaspard left the group to start a BnB to attract another woman of Fellina's stature.

Scenario 40
A year later after having decided to cut himself off from preaching and being active on other duties in the church, except still being involved in running the reach out program with church youths, Xolani learnt the sad truth about his business partner now estranged wife.
Xolani Shongwe, a media and tech industry businessperson, was married to a human capitals specialist, Sindisiwe "Sindi" Dhloti, who was also a partner in his now defunct startup school of media and technology he started during their marriage tenure. They had a good run on both the business and the church side, but with a marriage life full of explicit stints of emotional wrecking stuff. A perfect couple on the front and an imperfect beauty on the inside of it all.
It all started beautifully when Xolani was a participant delegate to the branch where Sindi was attending. He was asked to fill in for the Pastor who was late for service, and that's how they met, 13 months later they got married. Sindi left to stay with Xolani as husband and wife. The trouble with their marriage was that they met not knowing each other's backgrounds and through their commonity fell more in love. What Sindi loved more about Xolani was his status as it elevated hers. It was good for her in that she even joined in some of the sessions with the youths program.
Then, because of its nature, business took a toll on their marriage and Xolani was tested as his business just suddenly ground to a halt. By then, Sindi was doing better than him that she forgot to love and support her husband. At times she would tell him that he's useless and failed as a man. Her friends were now getting the day in their marriage and but still when out, painting a picture of rosy setup.
Then day came that Sindi left their marital home to grow her business alone. Soon after that silent split, Xolani asked to be cut off from some responsibilities in the church. He was granted his wish though with a heavy heart from the church leader. His reason being that how will he lead if he failed to lead in his family, of which was valid. That was to give him some time and space to reflect and heal from the hurt he suffered.
In his time out, he had some bit of time back on his hands to rekindle his business. He never had space to attend to any funny business aside from that. He was disappointed when one day got a visit from Sindi to show him her child, something that knocked him off his collection of self as the age of the child said in short that Sindi was with someone else before moving out. Sadly, to people, it was like and still is that the child is his. Time went on and a rumour broke that Xolani was sleeping with the youths in his program. This came out just after there been a teenager who committed suicide and leaving a suicide note stating that Xolani was the father of her new born child whom she hanged herself with on her back.
The painful thing was the fact that he wasn't aware, yet judged and been supportive towards her family. He even went to the funeral. Some weeks later, the members from that side left the church amid that rumour which Xolani didn't know still by then.
A year passed and then one church member approached him to hear his side of the story, only to discover that he doesn't know anything of that, and that she's been defending him because of knowing his character. With pain and disappointed spirit, Xolani went to visit his church leader to talk about it and there discovered that he too knew about it and chose to defend him sans confronting him over that. Also to his surprise being the fact that the whole church knew about it and so was Sindi who fuelled the rumour by adding petrol to the fire by saying Xolani was sleeping with all the girl children in his program. Having her say that about him behind his back, that he was cut off unknowingly by the church elders in absentia, and that the church lost its members because of him by the said rumours shattered him.

Having her say that about him behind his back, that he was cut off unknowingly by the church elders in absentia, and that the church lost its members because of him by the said rumours shattered him.
As it's in his nature, he kept quiet and went into his cocoon and sought solace in prayer. From then, in that weakness he learned that God broke him with the purpose of rebuilding him, and thanks to that he saw things for what they are not in the eyes of an average man, and with them according to how they are. He focused on the rebuild process of self. After some true time with himself, he moved out and left everything behind for Sindi to claim of which she quickly did and sold most and some blazed.
He moved to a new province and started afresh with new eyes to the world. His business slow to catch on, he released a four-part web documentary titled "Full in pain, empty with pride". It was about four men who lost everything to failed marriage. The doccie gave depth about their lives in four parts focused on the coming of selves, their lives with spouses, lives after spouses in dealing with in-laws family and own family and friends, and where to from there. He didn't tell his story or either featured in any part of the documentary, except that he produced it.
After it got good reviews, Sindi turned bitter thinking he was featured in there, and without watching it then retaliated with social media posts airing fabricated dirty laundry about Xolani. To her nasty surprise, her current spouse, Tirhani Biko, got worried about the obsession she had and quietly subscribed and downloaded it. After watching it, made contact with Xolani for a day in his hour. They met and got to chat about everything those featured men were talking about. Funny enough, his luck been that he found him busy shooting the same documentary about the women's side. Xolani being Xolani, allowed him to interview the woman shooting on that day.
Through that he established that his wife isn't in love with her but rather his status, and thanked Xolani, and left. Before going home, Tirhani passed by one of Sindi's faded stars in her glossy life. The ex-friend said quite a lake's brim of stuff that painted a picture that corroborated Xolani's story; things he got from her twisted. The fallout came as a result of her trying to encourage Sindi to stop messing with people's lives, especially that of his ex and her family's for her own selfish gains.
Getting home, Tirhani sat her down for her story about her life and what he got was not what she said then. Asking her why she was spreading lies about her ex-husband, she fought him through tantrums which this time frustrated her as Tirhani was calm and still demanding answers. He told her what he knows, how he sees her and how he doesn't want her anymore in his life.
He made it his mission to go to the church she used to attend and told the church elders everything. The church leader said he knew the truth, just that his hands were tied as Sindi confirmed all claims of allegations. Tirhani called Sindi and put her on loud speaker and she said some damming things about two church elders that it became obvious the type of person they were dealing with. On the following day's service, the elders publicly in Xolani's absentia, revoked their decision about him being cut off.
Tirhani showed her the door the same day. Sindi couldn't go back home and had to squad with a friend who didn't want her near her husband because of obvious reasons. She called the church's members to ask for them to plead on her behalf to Xolani and but everyone rejected her advanced attempts. She now wanted to come back into the life of Xolani. Tirhani called Xolani to apologize for having believed everything said wrong about him, asking rather for friendship with him. Xolani again, being Xolani, said thanks and accepted his request.
Sindi's call made its way to Xolani too, not for apology but about him being a good person and wanting him back in her life. Xolani, soft-spoken as usual, asked she call his new friend Tirhani to find his answer there. The last he heard was a hang-up tone.

The following day he got a visit from the church leader, who said nothing about the events, but to humbly plead with him to come back on as a full member. Told him how lost his youth flock was because of his leaving. It was really too much to ask as he was re-establishing himself and in another province, and was also a content ordinary member of a new church he's attending. When told by the church leader about how wasted as an ordinary church member there he was, said to him that he's at peace and business a better card of standing in his currency.
It was clear to him, he's still the same Xolani, but on his upper level of his life and not swayed by anything anymore from his path. He respected that and told him to call whenever he needed anything. Xolani just after that statement asked him what he'd have been up to now if it were him in his shoes. He said "Sorry I failed you", pat his back and departed.
Q_how would've you dealt with the situation? Is Xolani angry about the church elders' handling of the matter? Would you forgive Sindi?
It was clear to him, he's still the same Xolani, but on his upper level of his life and not swayed by anything anymore from his path. He respected that and told him to call whenever he needed anything. Xolani just after that statement asked him what he'd have been up to now if it were him in his shoes. He said "Sorry I failed you", pat his back and departed.
Q_how would've you dealt with the situation? Is Xolani angry about the church elders' handling of the matter? Would you forgive Sindi?
Scenario 39
The only good thing about Lucila Ulo was her way of decorating a store. Her business was picking up and getting stronger by the clients list she was adding now and then. People who wanted good quality and a bang for their buck sought her services. I too have seen some of her jobs and had no words to fault anything.
As the orders grew for her, she hired more skilled female labourers as they were now getting orders from private clients. Her business, Odd Jobs, based in Trujillo in Peru, was getting positive feedback and attracted the attention of male job seekers. Truth was they could do with four extra pair of macho hands but settled with two for starters.
The two, namely Kemal Diaz and Cisco Jalanoka, started off on shaky ground. Kemal was very handsome and charismatic to say the least. In total Odd Jobs had 11 staffers. Cisco on the other hand was hardworking, quiet and shy, and not into women like Kemal. Kemal was naturally a naughty someone and with that character managed to worm his way into every woman's heart at Odd Jobs, including the boss lady herself. Kemal at the end was the second in command after stroking Lucila the right way.
What the boss lady didn't know was that Kemal being friendly to a woman meant he got a piece of action out of her. Lucila took it he was just being a jolly colleague to them until one day when she had to break a catfight between two chibolo staffers who were fighting over him. To his luck, Lucila didn't read much into it but what baffled her was the boasting antics of Kemal. There was one cocho female staffer that Kemal didn't like and wanted gone, but Lucila failed her on as she was the top performer. That member once told her she shouldn't trust Kemal wholeheartedly.
Then day came when Lucila received a text from her father to come home quickly. On that day, Kemal was off to help his sister with some family stuff. To her surprise, her mother's old big bag was in the lounge, and she was led to the main bedroom that is her parents bedroom. In there she found her mother sobbing, half calato and worse was Kemal fully calato with his head bowed. Her father told her to ask them whatever she wanted to ask, as he was done with her pucha mother because she brought them a jugadora snake into their lives.
She was raged, lost for words, regretful, and disappointed at both of them especially her boyfriend while feeling sympathetic towards her father for it was the first-ever time seeing her father's tears. She called her brother to come fetch their mother only to hear more when they arrived with her cousin. Out of guilt and fear that Kemal may have said it or might say it, chose to break it out that she too were romantically involved with him. Lucila immediately called a family meeting and nearly died of disbelief to discover Kemal had been involved with everyone close to her in her family except their aunt who slapped him for his advances on her.
Called at work to tell them not to knock off as she'll be a bit late and wanting a meeting with them. An hour later when she gets there, got more shocking news to learn that all the eight staffers had a booth session with him excluding the one he hated. It was now clear why. She couldn't take it.
She did the unthinkable by laughing at them and released them. Once alone, sat in her office with a loud burst of cry for some time before going back home and forgiving him in front of them all and leaving together. The next morning, the early bird Cisco found Kemal cold and hard in Lucila's office, showing no signs of life. On the table was a slightly open bottle of arsenic. Cisco took it and put it in his jacket pocket, then called the ambulance and Lucila. Upon arrival paramedics certified him dead on the spot.
Q_what was the blunder Lucila made? Will you forgive Kemal? What really happened to him? To you, what did Cisco want in the office?

Scenario 38
In the background, soft sound playing in lowered volume of Lucky Dube's 'Romeo & Juliet', she opened her eyes and he asked: "What do you see?", and she said: "opportunity for diversification". He gazed for a moment into her and she smiled; in his mind she's the first to react the way she did and said what she said, she's one of her kind. That's how the Limpopian architect saw his soon to be fiance, a woman who saw a ring as an opportunity for business growth not as a Valentine's surprise present or marriage proposal. Gobsmacked by her utterance, didn't get what she really meant, but was fresh air cycloned in his ears.
The architect, Tefo Ramere, was thrown aback by his Xhosa girlfriend, Zintle Tinara. They were 3 and a quarter years into their relationship and for some time been talking about taking it to the next level. Judging by his actions, Zintle knew she had no choice but to clear the mist quick, before he spins further out of it. Her man is too fragile, so, she told him she'd better have him take his lobola savings and invest it in his dream for she was sure he now had enough saved. She didn't want her family's happiness be at the expense of her man's happiness.
Tefo told her he saved enough but she said, "let's borrow from it, multiply it, then shave off the residue and give it to my family, otherwise it's going to kill our vision. Mind you, the dream you sold me, my vision too. It's for us, our future,,,let's establish it first, my love. Valentine's Days will come and go but not our dream. Let's also venture into jewellery design and manufacturing". Taking her hand, he shed a tear drop into her palm as a sign of adoration. He was used to her logic but this time she climbed a mare on it.
Zintle is an interior designer, and together they work wonders as a team. Their company, D Zyna Smarts, has local and international clientele. Zintle wanted for them to get married knowing they'll be honeymooning in their own paradise, not back to a rented apartment like now. She so much believed in her man's passion and talent, hence she bought in wholly and be his partner. Since then she never looked back even once. She wants him to marry her being a content businessman.
They pushed the new venture and seven months in, they got a promise of joining hands with an Egyptian design house. A few weeks later it was a done deal and they were now working with the Egyptians. Their startup was swallowed by the new name, Ikna's Jewellers, owned by an Egyptian Billionaire designer and investor, Jabari Fouad Ezzat. Through the partnership deal, they got to oversee operations of five Ikna's Jewellers stores here and come up with ways to grow its fingerprint.
Jabari knew about them through a Moroccan friend of his, Waahibah El Filali, who was a new client of D Zyna Smarts. Eight months more, Tefo did what Zintle stopped him from doing, he paid lobola to the Tinara's and a month later tasted their wedding cake as they cut and fed each a piece in celebration of their love for one another.
Their empire was showing signs of growth potential. They joined the cream of the ZAR's lords at Tippant Estate in Joburg North. The estate boasts a horse race course, car race track, golf course, and an enclosed private airport with helipads catered for. Only 32 families stay in there, where the lowest valued property is at ZAR 265 million and tipping the scales at ZAR 966 million. Funny enough, the lowest valued property was theirs, and was financed by Jabari to cement his belief in their partnership with him.
They managed to pay him back in six years, and forever they kept growing both companies. On his interview with a business journalist, after being asked what his success in life, business and marriage was, said you just have to sell her your dream and if she doesn't bite, clearly not a fit for your vision. Probed then what? Said: "and just move on to the next until you find the match for your purpose."
Q_why did Zintle risk the first chance of getting him pay lobola for her? What does a fragile man look like?
Scenario 37
Their latest patient gave them a tough time, her repulsion was abnormal. It's a standard practice to prescribe Azathioprine to upstage that during transplant. With his bifocals in hand, Dr Saatchi was going up and down with cigarette after cigarette until he had to call Dr Himm Arryt to rescue them. Dr Himm Arryt, who prefers being called by his name, Himm, did arrive and spent an hour with the patient studying her.
He came out of the ward and took Dr Saatchi by the hand and whispered into his left ear; "cease surrounding her with your team, her nervousness makes for tense repulsive state. Attend to her alone, she'll relax and it'll work", then shook hands, and waved bye to the 3 auxiliary nurses stirring at him. Four days later, the patient was out of danger thanks to Himm. Dr Saatchi is one of the CMOs who rely on Himm's expertise to solve some of their difficult cases.
Himm, who's a twin to Herra, is a literal on-call doctor. He is forever inundate with calls from medical fraternity professionals seeking his opinion and refresher information as he's up to date on everything medico wise. One thing funny though, is that Himm has never practiced medicine, just qualified and chose the route others thought never existed and proved to them how lucrative it is. He consults online and offline on all matters relating to medicine. He hated the smell of hospital.
His twin sister, Herra, is a pharmacy technician, and together they form a mean team. Their medico consultancy firm is called Himm&Herra Arryt Medico, that operates from a penthouse in Sandton, in Northern Johannesburg. They operate 16 hours a day. They both take calls and are equal partners in the firm. Their parents are both businesspersons and doing what they're doing came natural to them.
Trouble started when Herra met Othaniel as her boyfriend. Othaniel is sapiosexual and was no wonder to his family when he introduced to them Herra. Othaniel works as a sports journalist for a media house not far from their penthouse. They met a couple of times before they became familiar with each other.
Othaniel was attracted by also the heavy artilleries that Herra commuted by. The plot gained its thickness when Herra introduced Othaniel to Himm. Othaniel started getting closer and closer to Himm that they started spending too much time together. At times, one could start a sentence and the other finishes it sans breaking, they had an unusual chemistry for male species for her that she began reading offish tendencies in the two. She then dumped Othaniel.
During that time, Othaniel's job was on the line because of his dropped levels of performance. He was consumed by his male crush but not knowing what to make of his feelings for his ex-girlfriend's twin brother. Things got worse when he lost his job and Himm set him up with an apartment he used as his cocoon. Time to time he'd drop in to check on him. The next step to their mixed friendship was him giving Othaniel his personalized number plate beast of heavy frosted Gunmetal Grey. It was confusing to Herra what really gotten into his twin brother for being insensitive of her history with Othaniel. Himm was slowly changing on her.
The firm started losing clientele though in small numbers due to constantly dropped calls sans return, no longer got up to date information from both of them, and Herra was trying to communicate that but was unsuccessful in getting through his twin brother's skull. He was now starting to spend most of his nights at the apartment with Othaniel. Thanks to Othaniel's sensual advance attempt that Himm rejected, that things turned for the better for her as Himm distanced himself from him and then the rescue of the firm was realized.
Q_whom is to thank for the rescue of the firm? What actually is Othaniel's sexual orientation? How was Himm relating to Othaniel? Why?

Scenario 36
Sometimes it's good for some people to remain likeable being quiet. Also, it's advisable for some to have a say only when they are told what and when to say. Lerutla Sehlooane was a very quiet somebody who climbed the corporate ladder silently. He was respected because whenever he said something, was in brief and to the point.
Lerutla was the Executive Manager of a very big company in Botswana. He was earmarked for the position of COO when he was meeting his fiance, Ntebaleng 'Nteba' Ntoki. Nteba was a human rights activist who was synonymous with organizing racial exclusions, social injustices and other human rights related protests in her home district of Francistown. For her being with Lerutla was a profile boost before anything.
Hearing that Lerutla was rumoured to take over the position of the outgoing COO, she started behaving like it's already in the bag for him. What she didn't know was that Lerutla was placed all the time on the positions he kept. He was a deployeeand as a result was told what to say and when to say it without questioning, otherwise he's out. Lerutla was a pawn for certain key figures in the company's structure. He is not qualified, just loyal.
Then time came and the day of the outgoing COO to vacate the office was then. In his speech, he did the unthinkable by off-ramping from his speech with a joke. He said, "this was supposed to be my last day and Lerutla to be appointed my successor, but I have decided to stay on for 2 more years." Nteba with a decorated blouse that matched her shoes and phone cover, started saying she knew from the beginning how jealous the old man was of her man, and even her man has been saying that for some time. Lerutla was embarrassed, and before he could run out, the outgoing COO asked him to address the staff, guests and press, as the new COO.
With shame and no script to refer to, he braved the embarrassment and said what was the worst speech ever in the history of the company. Those who put him there sent him a signal before he could finish to cut it and he did. A week into the position it was announced that he's vacating the position come month end. His position was forcing him to address the staff and media throughout and him being an airhead couldn't cope, and was on the third day ignoring all calls as he then had none to shield him. His sin was dating someone who advocated against the agency that his employer was funding for tests and he never stopped her even once 'cause her friend was one of the scientists on the program. He was put there fully knowing he won't last a day, though having had broken the record and made it to day three before being put on special leave.
He left with zero respect, zero prospects of future employment, zero bank balance as he lived beyond his means, and worse was a big public dump by his activist lover. He sold his apartment in suburban Gaborone in Botswana and invested half in crypto markets and the other half extended his parents' home and moved back in with them in Leribe, Lesotho. After some months his two swag SUVs were sold after proving too big for him, for a humble Suzuki Swift. A year later was offered a tell all book deal which proved a disaster because of typos. The publisher dumped him after the second reprint amid social media slanders, some proven while some not.
Q_would you have dated a person of Nteba's character if you were Lerutla? How can he redeem himself?

Scenario 35
Xiq Vohn Ltd (Xiq Vonh) is a very big company in Asia. Xiq Vohn has 47 years of experience in it's existence, and the new shakers coming in were very respectful and mindful about that. This business is comprising of two centres of power in the form of two families who jointly own the company. Xiq Vohn is headed by those grey haired men from the two families, with the elder positioned as the President and the younger from the other family as the Chairman. All in all, they employ 691 people.
On the stock exchange it's market cap was ¥ 3, 84 trn, with both families each worth ¥ 772 bln. Then, one day in the meeting with Chinese President, the Chairman said he was wishing to mentor a young man outside of his circle and see how that'll work out. The President of the company endorsed it, and so did the country's President. At their ages of 73 and 71, the finish line is nigh for them and in their families none worked that hard to satisfy them.
Within 4 days there was a list of top students in the country to peruse and pick the ones they feel are stronger contenders. Mr Wu, the Chairman, handpicked his choice of 5 and Mr Yamoto also picked his 5. They arranged for innerview sessions with them. What the contenders didn't understand was the fact that both men were not academics and both were dropouts, as such they prefer laid term language.
Out of 10, together settled on one young man to try out. The next day he got his hands dirty and chose to follow the entry level staff and week by week up a notch. He learned a lot and by the time he got to their level was in week 9. He got the two oldies singing praises of him wherever they went to show how smitten they were.
The young man, named Jin Zhuan, was a serious bookworm. In a car with them he got told if he be a Doctorate holder the two will give him a position below them. Him got so excited after hearing of his chances of running Xiq Vohn one day. He got onto the books like never before and even started neglecting his girlfriend to the extent of her feeling less loved and wanted that she left him. He was so focused on the goal that his health was at risk and he cared less. In no time he was given a contract that but because of his devotion to his work, became clear to the Managing Director, who's the son of Mr Yamoto that Jin's a true intrapreneur and that made him a threat to him.
The MD sat with the CEO, who's the son of Mr Wu, and gave him a lethal plan against Jin but discouraged it until eavesdropping on their parents over their big plans around Jin. He changed his stance and they agreed on keeping the pace of bait goodies over Jin's momentum and it worked. Jin's rise was so quick that it even left him lagging. He was ever tired, started being forgetful, dozing wherever he sat comfortably, he was basically not coping yet expectations of him were busy piling. One day he collapsed after pushing himself too hard and having had skipped his time to take his energy boosters. The ambulance was called and he was taken to the private clinic a few blocks away. His phone was always on and following up on everything from his bed.
The CEO and MD made it a point he doesn't rest by feeding him a lot of negative stuff going wrong that needs him personally to right. He asked to be discharged by force and went back to work. He didn't last long, on his 14th day back at work he collapsed again, and this time he was found nose bleeding. He was taken to the clinic again but didn't make it to surgery. He died as the next in charge to the MD at a tender age of 24.
During the memorial, both crooks were the ones who expressed their worst in how lost they personally are and the company, were also the biggest contributors to his family, with ¥ 2,4 mln each. They were the family's most talked about thereafter, worse was when they took the younger brother to school and funded his sister's catering business.

He didn't last long, on his 14th day back at work he collapsed again, and this time he was found nose bleeding. He was taken to the clinic again but didn't make it to surgery. He died as the next in charge to the MD at a tender age of 24.
During the memorial, both crooks were the ones who expressed their worst in how lost they personally are and the company, were also the biggest contributors to his family, with ¥ 2,4 mln each. They were the family's most talked about thereafter, worse was when they took the younger brother to school and funded his sister's catering business.
Their fathers mostly were humbled by the gestures of their sons. They converged as the board and families agreed they take over as they proved that they are ready to continue with the policy of People First Before Profits (PFBP). The following quarter they were now the new Chairman and President of Xiq Vohn Ltd. The Chairman after taking his time on Jin's sister's dedicated spirit and guilt, decided to buy her catering business and moved it in to cater the staff as an in-house division that was but positioned in a way that it obtained catering contracts from outside entities. The sister was ever grateful for the opportunity and ended up dating him. Within 7 months of dating, they got married. Their union wasn't part of the plan and that cemented move got the company's President ticked off.

Scenario 34
The crimes were a mystery until Cpt.Rusu on that lucky day got to connect the dots between them and what the police had for long wanted to solve. Bogdan's wife, Nastya, made the mistake of partnering with a friend that she competes with. The crimes committed were steadily turning them into Moldova's soon to be most wanted. The business community, especially NVSL Retalia Bank, and the police were losing sleep over what actually was happening yet not clear.
Cpt.Rusu's unfaithful husband Abner Rusu, was busted by Florin Lupasco who is a husband to Colette. Florin is a production manager at the tools manufacturing factory Porpita ProTools in Balti. Florin found Colette and Abner in bed after coming back home earlier due to Covid-19 infection case by a member in his team. Because of driving an electric car they didn't hear him come in, more so in that he's not the type to make noise upon arrival at home.
Finding them unclothed and comfortably cosy in their bed, he asked them "how long?" and got contradictory statements, so he called Cpt.Rusu, who arrived in the speed of light. Colette called Nastya to back her claims of her how long answer and Nastya said she warned her from the beginning so she doesn't want to be involved, only to be told she's put on speaker and that she must come, summoned by Cpt.Rusu. She got there quick. Sticking to her stance of not wanting anything to do with the drama, Colette said "ohh,,,it's okay for me keeping quiet about your husband's easy money and I be judged for sleeping with the man I knew because of your husband's late sister?".
Nastya suddenly changed her stance and Cpt.Rusu picked up there's something bigger than the infidelity drama, and said she want answers on the easy money. Nastya started rambling, then tried concocting a story but nothing made sense. She was taken in for questioning and Bogdan got set up and arrested. The newsbreak shocked everyone who knew him as a humble and law abiding citizen. He was actually the monster the police were not having in mind, because of the picture they drew of self for the criminal befitting the type of crime. He took the fall alone, and never wanted trial, asking they sentence him for he's avenged himself and is satisfied with the result. He was sentenced to 9 lives, but outside he left a movement of resistance to return the money from donors who were fighting Moldovan prosecution authority for their failure to recognize the government's hand in it by failing to listen to their plight, whereas Bogdan identified and proded their holes. He was to them and now to the nation a hero, just that they were restrained by the pandemic restrictions to gather and protest, but vowing to do post the lockdown.
It all started the day Yasmin died and Bogdan went to the bank to ask for a loan to bury his sister with dignity. Trouble brewed when the bank assistant slewed him with words that, "fear grief. It'll take you to the golden gate of hell with a hat in your palm" and laughed softly. After scoring him and finding him unqualified for the loan said audibly, "no amount of pity will boost your penniless state my friend. Go try others, see what they can have for you". Those who heard that laughed and Bogdan went out with a heavy heart.
Once out, he called his ex-con friend who came in a flash and waited outside until knockoff time and followed him home. Fifteen minutes after getting home, a knock was heard and they were let in by a child. They asked for her father and he emerged with boastful antics that drove the ex-con mad. He drew his gun out and they went into the bedroom together with their two girl children. The ex-con ordered the man to undress and handed the gun to his friend. He forced himself on him through the back and after did same to the wife and then Bogdan shot and killed her with the words, "lucky are those who will bury their wives and not their penniless sisters".

He forced himself on him through the back and after did same to the wife and then Bogdan shot and killed her with the words, "lucky are those who will bury their wives and not their penniless sisters".
The children were knocked out with pain and the father numb. They made him write a letter to explain what his sin was, and they left him. The bank manager told the press that the bank is not in support of what their stuffer did and will try and find the person to rectify the situation with him. The thing was that the bank assistant was told he won't live to see the funeral of his wife should he mention him to the police. He kept his word and played dumb to police questions.
The ex-con organized his ruggish friends and started robbing NVSL Retalia Bank branches allover the country with luck. With his cut, Bogdan gave his wife 50% of it and 10% for himself, the rest donated to NGOs in need sans revealing his identity. He bought duffle bags that he gave to children to go and give to specific individuals with a letter enclosed as a warning that should they use the money for their own selfish interests they'll answer to him.
With the money she received, Nastya went into a salon business with her long-time friend as partners sans revealing anything except that her husband was giving her easy money. Through the business, Colette became attractive to gold diggers like the Captain's husband and two other younger ones. They weren't aware of the money's origin and about the good it did but very aware of the spade of NVSL Retalia Bank robberies, but not connect the easy money with that, reason being the nature of Bogdan.
Q_how would you've reacted to the remarks of the bank assistant? Is Bogdan's vengeance justifiable and why?

Scenario 33
Estrid was a proud man who used to make everyone around him feel his presence. One day at his work, at the ministry of Industry, trade and Co-operatives, gave someone a tough time about information on how to obtain a business loan.
The man complained about him to his colleague and was told it's how he is and must understand for there's nothing she can do. He failed to get assisted. With a low tone asked who that man was and wrote his name down. He tried for some time here and there albeit sans any luck. But one day after two years, got a break from a very wealthy investor who put enough in his start up to make a statement. Then, it took two years to get his name out there after he concentrated on the company's name first.
After getting three profiles on television his name and face were out there. Two more years and there was a scholarship program launched in his name by his company called Kweku Rolson Jengku Scholarship Fund. It was open to all final year high school learners in Kenya. On the form there was a requirement for applicants to furnish parents and guardians details.
On the third and final month of the open time, the scholarship President took turns at some schools to observe how they wrap up the campaign. In the process he gets to do interviews and today he got to Canon Kituri Secondary School where Estrid's daughter is attending. Estrid's daughter, Olga, was very bright and was one of the top learners the school had hoped will make the cut.

Estrid's daughter, Olga, was very bright and was one of the top learners the school had hoped will make the cut.
Kweku interviewed her and was impressed until when asked about her background that everything changed, he discovered she was the daughter of the man who denied him information six years ago. He scored her and told her to come to the side with him. He asked she give him her paper to write a note for her dad on. Chuffed was her daughter and off she headed home quick to hand the note to her dad.
He wrote Estrid a reminder of what he did to him and attached to the note was the scorecard of his daughter, she missed an opportunity she had because of him. It was obvious if the scorecard was with him she was out. He cried alone remembering the day now as per the description of the man and the incident. Olga came back to find his eyes red and asked why. Estrid told her everything and they together sat down and cried. Her father's behavior had cost her an opportunity of a lifetime like the time he denied Kweku and others, and now she's paying for that. She then yelled, "it's not fair but maybe I deserve it because of you Papa, and but,,,know that I hate you with all my heart" and their relationship took a nosedive.
Q_what would you do if you were in the position Olga was in? If you were Kweku, would you do that? Why? What did you learn?
Scenario 32
VaporCount was a genius and successful newcomer into the health-care industry. The solution they brought was so 4IR for the field of lifestyle diseases. They invented a machine that treated lifestyle diseases with vapor. Just 8 months into the field they were bought wholly by an Irish hospital chain group called MediGroup for € 3.47 billion.
The sale made its 40% shareholder, Ava Nomalin, €1.38 billion moneyed. Ava Nomalin had a longtime dream of establishing a private equity firm and with this he started, and named it after himself as AvaNomalin Capital. He was creating a stir wherever he went as opportunity seekers were ever after his ear and eye, not knowing he long had been tracking certain individuals that he was busy working on connecting with.
Ava Nomalin took his billion and split it 8 ways. He invested it in 8 promising businesspersons, 6 males and 2 females. He opened doors for them himself and they went in to prove to him that he made no mistake about them. Each with €125 million they were set for win. His criterion was simple: non-smoking, non-drinking, non-gambling, not married, rough background, ready to submit and willing to give up their freedom. Initially he tracked 19 and settled with 8. He was disguised and spent 2 days with each before concluding on them.
He gave them 2 years each to double their investment and anyone who can do that will take half of what they did and he'll take 40% of their company, and those who failed, he'll take 50% thereof. They pushed and first year passed. In the second month of that year a call came in from the first achiever with € 252 million and kept his word. Word got out and more opportunity seekers knocked on his doors. By the end of year 2 , only 3 failed to achieve the set goal but all had gains. He did that with others and his initiative helped reduce irresponsible gambling, drinking and smoking as young drivers behaved in fear of losing a shot at an investment opportunity should they be chosen. He invested only in people who are healthy and well behaved, to guarantee him longer life span.
In 10 years, AvaNomalin Capital was €14.9 billion up. Ava was the most trusted and protected person as he was important to the nation than even the politicians. He made history as being the first owner of a billion euro investment firm that had no board of directors, but run through a varied consultory panel. To this day, the firm is still growing and just got filed an application for conversion to company with the same style of operation to continue.
Q_what can you influence in people if have an opportunity for them? How? Are his terms not discriminatory, and why?

Scenario 31
Mayra Qatari wasn't alone when hearing about the surge of infectious in their region of Piura. She didn't think it was something serious until President Vizcarra announced the rise in cases. It became a round tablet issue that then started dominating, behavioral patterns changed instantly, fumigation after fumigation took centre stage.
Her father was a hunter and a farmer, who took over after his grandfather and father. Her brother just got admitted and to her his condition is similar to that of her father and grandfather, but now the doctors are saying it's Corona. 4 days later he succumbed to it. He was the 17th death case to be reported as another Covid-19 statistic record. She raised her disapproval to her husband Alois and her surprise outcome of Covid-19 as the cause of her brother's death. It just can't be. Alois unlike everyone listened to her.
She was from a poor background and Alois from a middle-class resourced family. His younger brother is a DOP (Director of Photography) in the film production house, TeeFee Media, his sister a hotel manager, his older brother who's the first born is a medical investigator. He works with a TEAM of other medical and health experts to solve hard to crack cases. Their independent agency called MIU (Medical Investigations Unit) within the police department.
Mayra's family was of farmers and she was the breakaway sheep in that she was the first-ever girl in her family's history to be educated and have a car of her own. She is a specialist pattern cutter and works for a big foreign company that is based in Piura and Lima in the country. Alois told his brother about her concern and the brother called her on the spot, he was very fond of her humility and as such would do anything for her smile. From her line of answering to his questions, he could pick up two things, the land they work and the areas of hunting, or second could be shared tools. He sensed there must be a sort of an unpicked up hereditary infection. He was intrigued by the challenge.
The following day he called again for an email to be sent to him of death certificate scans of all the deceased. He involved some in the MIU and they got onto it. Alois brother's wife, knowing how fond of Mayra her husband was, created a fund to sponsor the investigation as it was private. Her company, Lite Munch, is a good processing entity that supply supermarkets and private hospitals with canned food. It was the 4th biggest in country and the 21st biggest in Europe. Hers was the leader in women owned enterprises in their industry and the 3rd biggest female owned company in the country. She was influential and steadily rising to her power status.
It took long to get to the answer. A young man who is an intern from Antenor Orrego Private University, Giuseppe, figured it out on his 2nd week of being with the team after finding them having had them working for 17 weeks on it. He was on an experimental excursion as the agency wanted to try out the role play of psychology in solving their cases. He was instantly offered an employment memo. Their answer was hidden in the boot.
Giuseppe found that everybody in the family who died as either a farmer or a hunter, wore the same pair of boots, inherited from the great-grandfather who was a soldier. It was a symbol of the family's fighting spirit that but saw their fate instead. Giuseppe's answer came after spending the day in the lives of the family's farmers and the night hunting. He discovered that the other boot was not as comfortable as the other and probed the farmer what the discomfort was and where it was. He asked to switch the pair with his and worn them self. Throughout the expedition, he was listening to his feet and asked to take the boots with.

Throughout the expedition, he was listening to his feet and asked to take the boots with.
He examined the boots but didn't arrive to a conclusive outcome. 6 days after it struck him and scanned the boots after a call to Mayra's cousin that he was feeling dizzy. That was one of the symptoms found in the cases of all the deceased.
After the scan, and having gone through the scans a couple of times, he established that there's a pin-like something in the sole of one of the boots. He showed that to Alois' brother and there it was, the answer. It was a snake skull's upper jaw bone of a pit viper. It's venom doesn't wash away from its skeletal skull bones for a period of up to 2 years after dying. If found dead should be burnt and be buried deep.
They examined the cousin and diagnosed him with the same venom in his bloodstream. Giuseppe was too checked and yes, the result was same though with Mayra's cousin was advanced. He luckily survived thanks to the team's findings. The boots were returned to the family for them to burn and dispose off. But they chose to keep them as a memoir in a glass cubicle and displayed on their family room divider cabinet. The results are still investigated to find their relation with Covid-19 findings in the death cause of Mayra's brother.
Q_who actually saved the cousin? Who saved the family? Why? What does it say to you?

Scenario 30
"Look beyond your complexion and only see them in your colour, that's how we see them and so should you; as the market. Count the rands your brand can collect from them. Let's not convert them, no, let's go in hard with shackles,,,let's enslave them to your brand." Turning to the side and wiping a tear, it then became clear to him how all they see him, and with a snide that smile for them silently disappeared. Suddenly asked for their mens, never went back in. That was the last they seen him in his old bark.
When he knocked, his mother hugged and kissed him with expectations of a breakthrough. She instantly sensed he's not in the same form as hers and looked him in the face,she whispered "sorry" and turned, going the direction of her bedroom. Her first-born's pain her always worst, for her hope is pinned on him.
Tomorrow morning he woke up and went back to sleep for there was nothing for the day to look up to. His terminus vendor mother was already out, in recumb he thought of something and quickly rolled his sponge and blanket under the kitchen table and straight into his mother's bedroom where his 3 siblings were sharing the mother's same bed, to grab his paper and pen. He penned a letter of apology to his prospective funders.
He then boiled his bathing water through the jug kettle. Because of the lockdown, his siblings were still asleep, so he bathed in the kitchen. He ate his last night's plate and out he was to see them. After 2 and half hours' walk, he found the office not yet open. He waited and waited until at midday when they showed up. They invited him in.
He gave the boss's PA the letter and she told him he's not serious about life and not worthy of their money. Hearing the deafening silence from Stanley, he called the receptionist to ask for his PA to come into his office. She went in with the letter left at reception. After a while a call was made to the reception to call Stanley into his office. The PA was immediately asked to leave the both of them alone. He asked him to explain the letter, telling him the receptionist scanned and emailed it to him and he did read it. Stanley explained the letter contents and finished sans interruption.
It's been 7 months since the boss sat down with him. He pretended to have forgotten him though he did remember him vividly. Stanley told him about his journey after leaving with a promise to give him an answer after 2 days of which he never did and rather chose to go try other funders. The surprise punch came hitting him when the boss told him the names and answers that he got from some he went to try his luck at. Told him even about his yesterday's postbode before he could say about it. Said to him it's because they work together and he booked him so he's rendered untouchable to them, though yesterday was his lucky break because he was going to be funded but unfortunately he jinxed it himself.
Bursting with anger, he said; "What kind of game are you playing with us?" The boss laughed and said, "you think others of your kind will fight for you over such an opportunity? Think about what your family miss because of your analytical racist thinking" and Stanley freezed. The boss said that if he be a good boy who wants it so bad that he'll even bow to shame in secrecy, his family will live in the lap of luxury should he sign a contract with him for funding. He further said: "success is anti-kind!! And you youngsters believe the master key comes free and more expensive is its replacement from the locksmith. You need the authority to lick the influence that'll enable you to suck the power to your rule, and I have that for you 'cause you're different from them." He now understood all this time he was darkened, now he's enlightened,,,,"The Real Exclusive Boys Club"
"Look beyond your complexion and only see them in your colour, that's how we see them and so should you; as the market. Count the rands your brand can collect from them. Let's not convert them, no, let's go in hard with shackles,,,let's enslave them to your brand." Turning to the side and wiping a tear, it then became clear to him how all they see him, and with a snide that smile for them silently disappeared. Suddenly asked for their mens, never went back in. That was the last they seen him in his old bark.
When he knocked, his mother hugged and kissed him with expectations of a breakthrough. She instantly sensed he's not in the same form as hers and looked him in the face,she whispered "sorry" and turned, going the direction of her bedroom. Her first-born's pain her always worst, for her hope is pinned on him.
Tomorrow morning he woke up and went back to sleep for there was nothing for the day to look up to. His terminus vendor mother was already out, in recumb he thought of something and quickly rolled his sponge and blanket under the kitchen table and straight into his mother's bedroom where his 3 siblings were sharing the mother's same bed, to grab his paper and pen. He penned a letter of apology to his prospective funders.
He then boiled his bathing water through the jug kettle. Because of the lockdown, his siblings were still asleep, so he bathed in the kitchen. He ate his last night's plate and out he was to see them. After 2 and half hours' walk, he found the office not yet open. He waited and waited until at midday when they showed up. They invited him in.
He gave the boss's PA the letter and she told him he's not serious about life and not worthy of their money. Hearing the deafening silence from Stanley, he called the receptionist to ask for his PA to come into his office. She went in with the letter left at reception. After a while a call was made to the reception to call Stanley into his office. The PA was immediately asked to leave the both of them alone. He asked him to explain the letter, telling him the receptionist scanned and emailed it to him and he did read it. Stanley explained the letter contents and finished sans interruption.
It's been 7 months since the boss sat down with him. He pretended to have forgotten him though he did remember him vividly. Stanley told him about his journey after leaving with a promise to give him an answer after 2 days of which he never did and rather chose to go try other funders. The surprise punch came hitting him when the boss told him the names and answers that he got from some he went to try his luck at. Told him even about his yesterday's postbode before he could say about it. Said to him it's because they work together and he booked him so he's rendered untouchable to them, though yesterday was his lucky break because he was going to be funded but unfortunately he jinxed it himself.
Bursting with anger, he said; "What kind of game are you playing with us?" The boss laughed and said, "you think others of your kind will fight for you over such an opportunity? Think about what your family miss because of your analytical racist thinking" and Stanley freezed. The boss said that if he be a good boy who wants it so bad that he'll even bow to shame in secrecy, his family will live in the lap of luxury should he sign a contract with him for funding. He further said: "success is anti-kind!! And you youngsters believe the master key comes free and more expensive is its replacement from the locksmith. You need the authority to lick the influence that'll enable you to suck the power to your rule, and I have that for you 'cause you're different from them." He now understood all this time he was darkened, now he's enlightened,,,,"The Real Exclusive Boys Club"
After a sinking moment, said that, should he leave his office with no ink of his on the dotted line, it's over for him. He thought of his family for the first time and opted in. Before signing, was told he had to seal the pact of arcanum gallantry in his chambers. He had no choice but to comply. He stepped with him into the chambers and gave him a brain shower, and before he could touch his swell for an incestra, told him that: "when you lick the elevator's boots, punch the faultline to your crack if you can for your window to opportunity starts there where your yester star sizes out your capability before grease on crease lines." Afterwards Stanley went to the North to ask for some Eastern salt, and the boss with facia rings, layered his processor to its minimum and climbed the mountain with him. His elevation was stuck on his error of comprehension. 23 minutes later he was transformed into a fop and his life was never the same. He left his self behind for his family gain life, and but his less love of self was cushioned by the whistles and greetings of salutes he received each time he got out of home. A hero to his mother's eye and a role model of the unknowing.
Q_why was Stanley not happy? What would you've done if it were you? What did you understand about this scenario?
Scenario 29
It was a good day in the office for Ndivhuho Makovhela. A received email with an attached letter of intent for a 6 year contract from a packaging company, Tekdro Packaging, the reason he's overjoyed. His company, Haswani Logistics (Pty) Ltd, was long gunning for a job big like this to see them grow. The number of trucks needed is 3. Each truck per month will be paid ZAR 81 000 before deductions and maintenance on the side of the packaging company.
Each truck will be repaid at ZAR 44 000 a month excluding the driver's salary. For him it was good enough to build from. He made an appointment with a salesperson at the dealership he frequented as he bought his first truck there, and their service excellence made them his first choice again. They did assist him and qualified for the 3 truck deal. He went to the packaging company and signed the contract.
Being his big break, he had no question to ask and out he went straight to the office to celebrate. A week after the 3 truck fleet arrived at the packaging company sans passing by his office because he arranged for them to be delivered there. The following day he was called in and got introduced to the 3 drivers and also the tracking company rep was there to fit the tracking devices. The trucks were readied for branding to match the trailers. A proud moment for the father of 2 girls and 1 boy.
The contract commenced sans hiccups and end of month got his payment. After drivers, instalments, insurance and fleet tracking deductions, he was not that happy anymore. He met with the financial director of Tekdro who advised him to find an accounting officer and have a legal advisor to help him navigate through the seas of logistics world.
He hired a bookkeeper and a lawyer who specializes in criminal law as the "company lawyer". The pair went through the books and contract with no alarms raised. The salaries of the pair ate at his profit and kept them on regardless until on year 3 when he was reminded of the second leg of the agreement, to refresh his fleet. His company lawyer didn't see that as a problem when going through the contract, especially being already in force and thinking all conditions were agreed upon after been explained to him.
The lawyer started from roof and attacked the financial director and referred to their legal consultant to sort it out. They fixed a set-down and that helped Ndivhuho a great deal in that his lawyer was allover the place and missing some of the points. After the session Ndivhuho called the financial director to explain things to him. He was introduced to the legal consultant socially and got to chat a bit about the roles of legal practitioners and from that made his mind about cutting him off, and did.
He procured services of a corporate legal consultant and his challenges were soon out of the way. The solution was to surrender the fleet in favour of the new deal by signing a lease and not buy them. Then made Ndivhuho understand the deal afresh and that he had never bought trailers, those are the property of the packaging company. Also that, he can gain more via savings on insurance through lease like he did with restructured organogram. There were services that were put out of the business array for good and some outsourced like with legal and financial services. His arrangement was of virtual legal services and that's a huge cost cut.
He was advised to buy his own trailers instead of trucks. Trailers are in service for longer periods and are his best possible investment in logistics. He entered the second leg of their contract with confidence than then and made some money from then. Now, Haswani Logistics is sure to grow thanks to his ear.
Q_have you ever had a retake in your opportunity? Can you afford to give another person a second chance if had wronged you out of not knowing what they were doing? Why?

Scenario 28
A die-hard fan of FC Kolos, Sheemah Bodnar is a successful boilermaker artisan who's married to an underdog glassmaker and younger brother's high school classmate, Yeva Bodnar nee Ivasiv. Her family is known for producing craft cheese and sold it in specially blown glass. It was afforded by the upper LSM citizens. Sheemah's family used to be their regular customers when his grandmother was still alive as she loved craft cheese and Belgian chocolate.
One thing that was making Yeva fall out of love was her husband's recidivistic lying. What made him relapse was competition that at most was not even there. Then one day when out with friends, out of impression to them said that he is a down low billionaire. Saying he made a fortune from the contract he had with the government of Crimea for designing and fitting solar geysers commissioned by Russian government. Said also that he has acquired a stake in his wife's family business.
That didn't sit well with one of the friends especially after saying nasty things about his gang "Mastiff Bat" (MB) out of not knowing was in the company of an MB member. His friend was silently protecting him from the gang's target list. And that day changed everything. He developed hatred towards him.
A few days later, Sheemah's son was kidnapped during lunch break. 12 hours after, a call from to his wife demanded a ransom of UAH 1 billion within the next 24 hours or else she loses the child. Yeva tried reasoning with them that they won't even afford half-a-billion but the gang's negotiator wouldn't take that.
Yeva called the police and the media, thus making matters reach boiling point. Then someone in the police department tipped them to call it a false alarm as they were bound to lose their child should they continue. The second call came in and this time to Sheemah. He tried reasoning with them that they can only afford UAH 100 million, of which they hung up. 30 minutes after they called Yeva and told her what her husband said about them having only UAH 100 million whilst she said a different figure, and that they know they have more than a UAH billion on them because her husband says it when with people. Yeva denied the claims saying they can put down only that UAH 500 million.
That call caused conflict in their household and the last call came in to Yeva again, instructing her into which account she must transfer the ransom. Sheemah spoke to the bank and arranged for only UAH 100 million and made the transfer. 5 minutes after the confirmation of transfer, they said where is the balance and Sheemah argued with them until they told him it's not a problem he'll use it to search for the body of his son. Hearing that, he told his wife.
In secret the wife transferred the rest in packets of UAH 50 million, leaving them with only UAH 16 million. Since the argument, they resorted to texting with a different number. Yeva was feeling it in her bones if they do anything then her son is dead but Sheemah said they won't do anything. She arranged with her family for the balance and they helped. The time she texted back was already late and she had to go where she was directed to collect her son.
They rushed there and found their son lifeless with the note around his neck that read; "You are a billionaire and don't want us to be like you. Your contract in Crimea and shares in your in-laws company, Equidistant, make you really wealthy and for not cooperating here is your dead son as i promised you Sheemah. Mastiff Bat."

Yeva went amok and left the very day. She went back to her family home, taking away their two last sons with after telling them everything. Sheemah was speechless throughout. The next day after the funeral his friend pulled up driving a brand new Ferrari and answered him about that he found a blood stained flight bag with 500 and 200 hryvnia notes full in a bin. What surprised him was that there was a note saying there's more in other bins around the city. Before he drove off, Sheemah ran to the next bin screaming "my money!!,,,,my money!!" and that was the end of his sanity. His lies cost him dearly by a jealous friend.
Q_was it good for a friend to do what he did to Sheemah because of jealousy? What did you take away from his tragedy?
Scenario 27
Standing in the queue with earphones plugged, his patience wearing thin but thanks to listening to another mix by his favorite Dj, Zawadi, Tirego chose to stay in the line. Suddenly he paused to understand what was going on. The gentleman in front of him was arguing with the home affairs official. He was told the system is offline and wanted to know what the fault might be so he could assist because he couldn't miss that day of his Visa application, because of his opportunity awaiting him in Dubai.
He was blocked by the cubicle pane and the official wasn't taking any advise from him, reason being that she was clueless. Out of anger and frustration, he went into the personnel side and demanded to talk to the Manager who didn't help. He got out of his office and straight into the booths to resolve the fault. When asked who gave him permission, said the manager. He did resolve the fault and the applications were processed again.
On going out, the Manager yelled at him and the police were called in to arrest him. Before they could come, Tirego, who is a partner in an ad agency, asked for the guy's name and contact details. His name was Sphiwe Zwane. He even told the Manager how grateful he was for Sphiwe having assisted that official with the computer, then he left. He was there for his Visa application too to go visit his son and mother in the US.
Days after coming back, got shocked to learn that Sphiwe didn't make it to Dubai and his opportunity forfeited. He was arrested on that day for trespassing and fiddling with state property and was on bail. Tirego went to the home affairs department to reason with the Manager who turned out to be a tough rodomontaded nut that was gasconade. He called his journalist friend on the spot and after that call called his son's mother, who happened to be a famous American singer. The singer called her manager to connect her with the US Embassy in South Africa and he did. The consul escalated the issue the very moment and through its consuetude the Manager was ordered to go and drop the charges. A call to the Manager was received from the Minister to reprimand her and directing her to do the right thing or else she's out if the complainant isn't satisfied.
Within minutes the Manager was wet with sweat and tears, begging him not to make her lose her job because at her age she's unemployable. She was awed to know Sphiwe is a Programmer of sophisticated systems including the one they use at the department. Sphiwe was called and informed of the good news but said it's useless because she cost him a once in a life opportunity of going to work for the world's fifth biggest tech company based in Dubai. He was now unemployed because he had served his notice. Tirego told him it's being worked on as they spoke.
The following day, his Visa was released and a first class ticket was in his name and the job he applied for no longer available except the senior one to that and was his. He couldn't believe it. He drove to meet and thank Tirego personally. In 3 days he was off to Dubai.
Q_between the 3, which actually helped in saving Sphiwe; 1. Dj Zawadi's mixtape, or 2. Sphiwe giving his numbers to Tirego or 3. Tirego checking on Sphiwe after coming back? How?

Scenario 26
Amy Clark was a different breed of a demagogue. Her Kings & Queens extramurals center's neighbours on 10th Street loved and supports her to date because of her blurred rhetoric in activism. MsClark had keratitis and after some time got worse to being diagnosed with keratoconjunctivitis. She later through a donor, undergone a keratoplasty. She then quit politics and shut the center in favour of business.
In business she took it easy and hired a PA to offload some of her workload to. Her PA, Jessica Wallace is a smart recently graduated winemaker who deserved a chance as she knew how the dynamics of that industry for a younger female employment seeker were. Jessica is a charming 25 yr old. As a PA she learned a lot so quickly from MsClark and her partners. Their business is in deal making and opportunity pluggings. What they do is connect moneyed opportunity seekers with relevant insiders direct and earn a commission upon conclusion of their first meeting. They're 3 and their agency is called Clark Fuller Clinton Brokerage (CFC) found on Vernon Blvd.
MsClark is connected politically, the other two are a retired business consultant and a legal consultant. The other two have no assistants. Jessica worked for her for 7 months, and on the 8th month because of the agency getting traction, MsClark organized for Jessica to ease the other partners as well, and had them agree to paying her the same she did for her services to her.
Month end came and so did payday. Jessica's salary was triple what she's used to earning. Out of shock rolled into MsClark's office sans knocking to alert her of the payment error, fearing it may be docked in her coming salaries. With a smile, playing her uke softly to ruminate, MsClark apologized for having forgotten to inform her of that change, that her salary would be paid three ways as she was now working for 3 partners not 1 anymore. Jessica couldn't believe her ears and thanked her with tears glazing her corneas.
That day Jessica had herself the longest lunch ever since her arrival at CFC. On knocking off, MsClark told her to email her the research she requested from her in the morning for their early appointment tomorrow morning. They were to meet with a multi-branched intercontinental hotel group that wants to enter the Russian market. Sans looking at her, she just showed her the okay thumb and out she was.
The next day, Jessica didn't show up, her work not finished, and the report not on the desk as expected. MsClark called her and when she answered, said she's at home in bed. Asked why she's not in though sounding not ill on the phone, said she's still enjoying her money, and when does she think she'll enjoy it if she'll be ever busy at work? MsClark couldn't believe it, the same girl who told her she wants to push hard to get her family out of the projects is the one behaving like that. The time wasn't allowing for them to do the research and going to the meeting sans anything a disaster. She called Mr Kepler of the hotel group and Mr Gustrovazov from the Russian Embassy to ask for postponement and got told they'll be fine and she shouldn't worry. By that response, she knew it was a miss for CFC. Her day was ruined and her reputation in tatters, thanks to Jessica.
Q_if it were you, what would you do to Jessica? What do you think caused her behaviour? How?

Scenario 25
This time around the board was really on about her leaving. Her failure to pay attention to the move made matters worse. Everyone in the industry was starting to take notice of her ousting yet she still playing blind to it. Her boyfriend on the other side, seeking greener pastures silently for his cover alone. Her wahhabism was costing her promising career dearly.
Najjat Rahal was a brilliant accountant. She was a COO of a big accountancy firm in London, called DVC & Associates (t/a DVC & A). The only problem with her was her belief and religion as it made it hard working with her. Everybody complained about her hostility but the board was tolerant as she brought in big clients to the firm. Her four clients were contributing to 28% of their bottom line in UK alone and 52% in Saudi Arabia by only nine.
DVC &A had secret meetings with clients she brought in and agreed that they don't have a problem with her being replaced by someone of their own. The clients wanted a person who understands what their needs are, communicate timely in their own language and represent them well. Najjat was not representing them well because of her rigidity.
To push her out they started involving her less and taking off some of her responsibilities to junior appointees, but she didn't react. In her mind she thought she's irreplaceable and could bring the firm to its knees should they try to offload her, as she'll be taking away her clients. The firm managed to find two competent candidates, a male and a female, and they went with the male, Bassam Kahn, because of his proven adaptability and approval of clients. He was friendly, traditional, client centric and respectful to everyone. The board dumped Najjat.
With confidence that she's got them in her bag, none of the companies wanted her any longer. Her failure to be flexible rubbed some off the wrong way too. The incoming incumbent's politeness took the firm by storm and won them more accounts as he was loved and easy to work with. Bassam was a younger, energetic and a friendly wahhabi, and a good ambassador of both his nation and those clients. Out of retaliation, Najjat went on to establish her own firm but to date heard none say a thing of it.
Q_will it be correct to allege that clients brought in by Najjat were sexist for dumping her too? Why think so?
This time around the board was really on about her leaving. Her failure to pay attention to the move made matters worse. Everyone in the industry was starting to take notice of her ousting yet she still playing blind to it. Her boyfriend on the other side, seeking greener pastures silently for his cover alone. Her wahhabism was costing her promising career dearly.
Najjat Rahal was a brilliant accountant. She was a COO of a big accountancy firm in London, called DVC & Associates (t/a DVC & A). The only problem with her was her belief and religion as it made it hard working with her. Everybody complained about her hostility but the board was tolerant as she brought in big clients to the firm. Her four clients were contributing to 28% of their bottom line in UK alone and 52% in Saudi Arabia by only nine.

Scenario 24
Reminiscing about the days he was still big in business in the early 2000s while in Norway, eating his favorite scampi+nantua dish, Jorge Nolands was back home in Poland and having started over again. He now owns a performance tyre manufacturing company called F2 Tyres.
Jorge used to be a franchisee of a seafood outlets chain. At his peak, he ran 41 across the territory through his investment company, JN Funds. His no.1 enemy back there was non-tax compliance. The taxman wrote him many letters to ask him nicely but he failed to listen until they froze his accounts and troubles came flooding. Trying to be a good boy after playing nasty never seen anyone get back the courtesy they were afforded first time, and so was the case with him. He went bankrupt and finally filed for a divorce to his Norwegian wife of 13 years and went back home.
JN Funds was no more, and now 9 years into tyre design and production. He was growing it organically unlike his first time in Norway. In F2 Tyres he has a partner who's also his wife, Erika Posada, the 2nd daughter of a retired building inspector. Her mother was a housewife the whole of her marriage (something that took away her radience and content). Her daughter vowed to never end up like her and worked hard at school to obtain a bursary but nothing. Her hopes were deferred and thanks for her meeting Jorge that she was revived in spirit.
Jorge met Erika in a saloon where she was a waitress. He was intrigued by how she always had a book with her to read during breaks. She behaved in a way that showed in there she didn't belong, and that's what he wanted, a woman fighting hard to pick herself up. He felt she needed a fresh start same as he, and here they are building together.
He is a numbers guy and she a psychology freak who never knew college but better than most who did, just by passion. F2 Tyres was a result of their combination. Now they were at crossroads after an offer by a car manufacturer wanting a 20% stake in their company for €23 million. The last they knew was their company valued at around €5.5 to €6 million. They rejected the offer in a blink of an eye after hearing the plans of the offerer.
What they did was unthinkable and stupid to a lot in the auto industry. They went to the bank with the plans and secured a loan. At the bank, their private banker advised and connected them with a lesser known business consultant. Reason for that was because he'll seize the opportunity and put in more hours in their company than it would be with a busy consultant who will cost more but with no much time and effort into their company, also take them up sans involving them in the process and thus denying them the opportunity to learn. With Ralph Gjellerup, the whole process was naked as a jaybird leading to the campaign. They took 8 months working on the plan of action and relaunched. The relaunch was a success that led to their brand signing major deals with lesser known car manufacturers and with a mixed bag of tyre distribution dealers and direct retailers.
Ralph had connections in Russia, India and Japan. His strategy was not of capturing the hyped Western world mainstream market. His focus was building a solid profile with huge silent volumes to learn the international space sans repute distortion. Indeed it was revealed in the process of their growth plan. His plan was two sided, establish the brand as a global citizen and quietly amass storage facilities for warehousing. Seeing that his contract with them was nearing its afternoon, Erika and Jorge appointed him as their Group CEO and tie him down with a 10% stake in the company.
He took the company from producing 18 600 unit sales to 44 000 in a month, and to 135 000 unit sales in 3 months. To them it was a big thing that to him was humble beginnings. In 12 months he was maintaining 148 500 mark of which was remarkable. He kept overlooking the hyped Western and European markets still in the name of enforcing capacity and it paid off handsomely.
After 4 solid years of experience and bigger players having given up on them, their tyre was a true performance contender that was rated among the best after their Trenium run-flat range was the 3rd best selling after Pirelli and Bridgestone. They were now looked at and started their phase of expansion, and started taking orders from the bigger players. Their order book was running a push out of 312 000 on average a month now in each of their markets, with China leading the pack with a consistent 326 000. They were low on debt and having built a commendable cash pile in their reserves that whistled a smooth mid 9 figure dot thanks to allowing Ralph roping in their private banker, Yves Von Rundstedt on full-time basis as their CFO. Everybody wanted to wear their shoes because of their clever signature on their tyres that was intuitively highlighted in their advertisement.
Their key differentiator was the signature F2 on the center base of their tyres, making it known you're wearing an F2, unlike the rest putting theirs on the side wall. Their tyres were also one of a kind in that they were designed in such a way that when driving in water the water don't take the direction of the car. The water escape sideways instead and thus making your car perform better in wet conditions. The tyre tracks were running laterally unlike the horizontal norm. They won because during hard braking their tyres responded better due to that technicality and other hidden patented technological aspects of innovation like improved cornering.
After finding out about a secret deal between Ralph and Yves of him having Yves take 2.5% of his dividend to keep him, Erika suggested they gave him that officially. Yves was awarded 5% in preference shares and Ralph retained his initial shares with added benefits. And to celebrate that, F2 released F2 Aaws (Active all-weather-shoe), which became an instant hit with celebrities and fashion personalities. F2 Aaws was rubber shoe with F2 sole that was comfortable for running, walking, trekking, working, and mostly driving. They were like no other in the world.
The pair comes with a plastic feet cover for wet conditions and a sheep wool feet cover for cold weather. It was cool to wear. In their 10nth month they sold their 1 millionth pair. The very same year F2 Trenium won Best Global Tyre award and Best Performance Tyre award. Those news spiked sales to 1.63 million units a month in sales. After success of Aaws, they made Aawmbrella. It was an umbrella that was made of tube rubber as it's thin and all-weather proof. It became the new who's who fashion item and sold in droves.
Within a year, they were valued twice the figure they were and the Nolands decided to quit and give Ralph, now affectionately known as 'Tyre Nerd' in auto industry, the ship to sail on as the Chairman and Yves as the Group MD. The move made him blind worse to poachers as he was where he never dreamt he'll ever be. His loyalty was unshakable. To seal their ascendance they released a performance bike tyre range dubbed F2 Glider and in India released a Tuk Tuk (rickshaw) tyre called F2 Tukium range and busy homologating in China for the same range.
With 17 and half years in auto industry business, the Nolands were well off. At 54, Jorge was grateful for his failed stint in Norway as his success wouldn't have made him the man he is today, the envy of industries and peers, the President of an auto industry giant. Yves and Ralph to this day continues to make them super wealthy.
Q_how many shares would you've given to Ralph and Yves? Why?
Scenario 23
Rev Hore was a popular strip joint of choice for the big boys of tech industry. It's owner, Ms Iki, a retired ramp queen from Singapore. Rev Hore's famous regular was Mr Qiqoti, known also as "Daiquiri king" because that's what he drank only. Ms Iki and Mr Qiqoti were secretly dating and also partners in the world of adult entertainment.
They together owned pornography sites, studios for adult video shootings, an adult resort, a porn casting agency, and adult stuff outlets. What they did was ruthless in that they made money from their friends and family plus staff. They turned them into porn addicts by surrounding them with pornographic material everywhere they were.
At his home, the Daiquiri king had spy cams in every corner of the entire house. He saw the nakedness of everyone who has ever been to his home and used the toilet or slept the night or took a shower. His bedroom was like a control center. He was having 124 screens to track every saucy moment at his home, office and establishments. He was more than creepy, he was obsessed. His tablet and laptop weren't meant for anyone's use except him alone as they had multiple cover passwords to secure his material.
His IT guru was his mistress, her pseudo Pinkabell, was the editor and producer of all the material he captured. She was a quirky piece that had a quirt in her hand all the time. They made money by the minute. If you disagree with Mr Qiqoti, he sends a clip of your dirty acts and gets whatever he wants. He was feared as none knew what is bugged and what's not. It made everyone around him agreeable until one day he met his match in S-wold.
He was a Jamaican pornstar who signed under his adult entertainment empire. S-wold was bisexual and possessing a chiseled body that every girl dreams of laying her hands on. Screenwise he wasn't the business but didn't matter much. Trouble started with Pinkabell developing some temptatious tendencies in S-wold when editing his material. S-wold was good at selling himself and every boy on set was envious of him as every girl wanted a piece of action with him on and off set, and so did gay boys. As such, why won't Pinkabell feel the same?
Pinkabell made it a point she create her chances of bumping into him and get to know him better off the spy space. She slowly started being active in directing scenes so she can feed on his oozing appeal. But being close to the man made her veins stretch to almost burst with lust especially after the day she massaged him before going on set. She then gave him her number so they meet.
They had only 3 encounter sessions and Pinkabell didn't want to let go and whenever she's with the Daiquiri king would yeppadiyap about him that it ended up driving Daiquiri king mad. He organized a hit squad to scratch him off. On the day they got there, the 2 boys got into his pad and found him naked. What they saw was unreal that they forgot what they were there for and wanted to touch his body and ended up captured in moment of intense session with him. Thereafter they got out and committed suicide for their shame.
Seeing no results, he order a she perk on him that Pinkabell countered by attaching a bomb underneath the hood and exploded, rendering the mission foiled. The Daiquiri king was now getting frustrated as S-wold's ratings were skyrocketing and now dating openly with Pinkabell. Daiquiri king finally cracked and threatened Pinkabell, which made her tell S-wold about the threat.
S-wold was a bold and daring young man who went into his office and confronted his boss. He undressed and read his boss's reaction. Seeing that he was fixated on his lower front, started playing with it and getting closer to him. They were now compromised and suddenly he said okay okay you can have her. He went out still with clothes in his hands and out into Pinkabell's car and off they were.
The next day his encounter with S-wold was an online hit. The young brave Jamaican fought with what he had and won.S-wold was a bold and daring young man who went into his office and confronted him. He undressed and read his boss's reaction. Seeing that he was fixated on his lower front uncomfortably, started playing with it and getting closer to him. They were now compromised and suddenly he said okay okay you can have her. He went out still with clothes in his hands and out into Pinkabell's car and off they were.
The next day his encounter with S-wold was an online hit. The young brave Jamaican fought with what he had and won. Unfortunately for Mr Qiqoti, the confrontation was streamed live using his own cameras though muted because of content sensitivity. Pinkabell was using his resources against him sans his knowledge and consent, with the threat of releasing and unmuted version should he try anything funny.
Now that he had no Pinkabell to do the work for him, he was left with selling part of the empire. Pinkabell heard about it through Ms Iki and called him to not, and if not give her 50% cut of the whole Adult Scene Ltd, would expose him for what he was. Also, if he tries anything, she'll release all the material on adultleaks.com and have passwords destroyed. He was finished and left with nothing more to say except agreeing to her terms. She knew too much and had a lot of data that once out he'll be dead by noon the same day. The empire grew and Pinkabell got married to S-wold who never stopped being a pornstar.
Q_what were you going to do if you were in the position of Mr Qiqoti? What lesson did you take from this scenario?
Scenario 22
Kuakonda Nyamwedzi is a street vendor in the bustling streets of Kigali. Kuakonda is a staunch supporter of President Kagame. He talks politics wherever he is and what's challenging about him is that he doesn't listen to anyone and didn't filter his utterances. This behavior got him into trouble many times.
One midday a good looking woman came to buy from his stall and found him busy debating with others about state of affairs in the country. She loved the passion in which Kuakonda exudes when he talks. The woman gave him a business card and told him to sell it to him. Being so not a good sales person, he failed. The woman said he should call her at 5 p.m the following day. She left.
When Kuakonda got home, he was intimidated by the woman's good looks that he asked his wife what she'll do if it were her. Out of jealousy, his wife said she won't do anything. And she'll also throw away the business card. Being a faithful husband he is, he listened to his wife. Tomorrow morning he told his friend who sells alongside him, and the friend asked where the business card was, and Kuakonda told him he threw it out the window of his sitting room. An hour later, his friend said he's not feeling well, he's going to see the native doctor.
He went to Kuakonda's house and found that by sheer luck Kuakonda's wife didn't sweep the yard on that day. He picked the card and went out sans being seen. He didn't go back to work, he went to buy airtime and straight home to wait for that time. At exactly 5 p.m made that call. The woman answered and asked him to be at some lodge at 7 p.m the very same night. He got prepared and told his wife he'll be back late and left. Because he didn't have sales for the day, he walked so he'll catch a taxi on his way back.
He arrived 40 minutes before and waited until it hit the time for his appointment and nothing happened. 5 past 7 he called and the woman said: "I didn't notice you going in". Catching that she was expecting Kuakonda, he briefed the woman that he is not the person she's expecting and that he's Aron. The woman said he tell her how he's dressed and someone will come take him to her. A short guy came to him and took him to her in an outside room that happened to be her office. He introduced himself properly and told her the whole story. After finishing the woman asked where his wife was and if she knew where he was? He said she knows he'll be back late but not sure about his coming there. He asked for his address and sent his messenger there to verify his claim, of which it checked out.
She asked for his clothes measurements and shoe size, and sussed him throughout their talk to see if he'll be good for the role. Though not passionate in politics as Kuakonda, the woman thought with guidance he'll get there. The woman released him at exactly 9:35 p.m and he caught a taxi home.
The following morning, Kuakonda asked how he's feeling and said he's much better. At midmorning a call came through from the woman, asking him to come by the lodge in an hour's time. He told Kuakonda he's got an emergency to attend to and left. He caught a taxi to beat traffic and got there in time. He found an array rail of clothes he had to choose from waiting for him. In the same breath was readied for a photoshoot. It was to him obvious that his life is changing in a big way and fast. After the shoot was given a script to read for tomorrow night's interview. Puzzled and overwhelmed by excitement, asked what was really happening there, got a shock of his life to know he's a candidate for president elect for a big business forum in the country. The woman is it's candidate headhunter and he grabbed the opportunity unlike with his friend. He was released and straight he went to tell his friend about it. Immediately Kuakonda saw his hair was different and complimented him. Aron told him he's the new president elect of RwaSME Forum and he laughed endlessly. Out of disgust, he left him and said he should take his stock as he won't need it anymore. Still, Kuakonda continued laughing at him and saying he'll die of starvation because of his foolish dreams.

Out of disgust, he left him and said he should take his stock as he won't need it anymore. Still, Kuakonda continued laughing at him and saying he'll die of starvation because of his foolish dreams.
The next day he got there and was taken to the main office of the forum where he was introduced to his staff and his car ready to take him to his new home. He went to see it and asked to be taken to his wife. On his way asked to pass by the stalls. Getting there, Kuakonda couldn't believe the transformation of his friend. He told him he wasn't dreaming, and that he'll employ him some day as his jokes man (he's used to calling comedians as such). Told him how he got there, and how he is in is place, Kuakonda fainted as he left to the cheer of those witnessing it all.
As if it was nothing, the very night Aron was on television for an interview where he fumbled a bit but did well for a tyro. All liked him and so did the organisations affiliated to the forum. Next morning was his face on front page of dailies and the next week on business periodicals. His win was that, unlike his friend Kuakonda, he understands people and business, he listens and is impartial.
Day of elections came and the hall was brimming unlike in past AGMs. He emerged victorious and was announced that Aron Mchingu is the new president of Rwanda Small and Medium Enterprises Forum. Smelling a rat, Aron asked Khelina Mutapa (the headhunter) why they gave him a house and called him president at the office before elections? She said: "You appeared less as the one but carries qualities of the one, so I were mandated to find the forum's next president not a floozy, and here you are,,,muPresidente". They both laughed and waved her byes as Aron receive a call from President Kagame to congratulate him and wishing him well.
Out of scorn, to teach his friend a lesson, he hired his enemy Simason Ufareseka to be his People's Representative on the National Hawkers Committee. 10 months later, it was rumoured Kuakonda is separated from his wife following her advice.
Q_is is right for Aron to not thank his friend at least for him surrending the opportunity that he took on? Why?
Scenario 21
In her office you could see 270° of the cityscape. She commanded the high end of the skyscraper Origami Towers on Doff Blvd. She was the cream of her Wyomingite family's crop. She was the aspirant's dream. She was the co-founder and Chief Legal Officer of $trap2$eal, known for its tagline "Lemmi prode ur hole..." that took American pop culture by storm.
From prosecutor to corporate conqueror, Evita Morrison made women see girl power in a different light. Her co-founder and partner, Nia Broadus, was an ex-teacher turned businesswoman who is an ex-convict. They met through a corrections officer during Nia's appeal hearing. The two had a controversial affair that saw Evita resign abruptly with no plan to continue from. She helped her out of jail after realizing she was framed.
After getting out Nia had nowhere to go and nothing to fall back on, and Evita was the only person who was there for her. She couldn't go back to Idaho. Them staying together developed into more than a friendship as Evita was a lesbian. Nia's twins loved Evita so much that they saw beyond the relationship they had. They moved in with her. Evita's life was that, she had almost all except for a child of her own.
The man who died in the arms of Nia had a business proposal she was discussing with her before unknown gunmen got in and shot him. The ambulance came an hour and a half late and certified him dead on scene. Nia got arrested for having hired gunmen to kill him for his money because he was a white businessperson. How they met was through his donations to the school where she taught. As a foundation phase teacher, her subjects were part of the man's program. He was a manufacturer of children's toys.
Since meeting Evita, she started seeing the other dimension to what the guy did and shared her thoughts and feelings with Evita. What's terrific was that Nia is a natural thinker of big ideas while Evita was the maker of dreams to be real and as a team their combination was a bomb. Nia gave Evita the whole plan and Evita rerouted it and have it a facelift Nia never thought of. With her background in law, she took a backyard room and converted it into a workspace and produced one of the best products the world has ever seen, a leakage sealant that is attached to a strap. She registered a patent for it under their both names and marketed it. It was hard to sell it but with the list of people she knew was easier to perfect the product and package it.
Soon a sample was making rounds in the offices of top decision makers. At the same time poking smaller players to stock their product. It took 2 years and 8 months to make her penetrate the ear of one special opportunity bringer in Vincent Bards of Growth Tip Industries. Vincent took a gamble and tried their product on troublesome leaks their aging jet fuel conduit had. Within a month all the managers on ground were raving about the product. Their doubts about the seal were quickly vanishing. Vincent asked if they could try it on other pipelines and it showed tremendous results. He then sang about the wonder product in $trap2$eal.
Soon orders hit the ceilings and they were out of their humble space and again saw themselves in boardrooms hearing out offers from equity holders wanting a piece of action. They settled with Vincent Bards' venture capital firm. They were now swimming in infinity pool of power. Evita's direction paid off and Nia's sceptical utterances were shut. Nia was blown off the day she saw their advertisement on television that she cried with disbelief, more so seeing her twins featured in the ad. Her love for Evita grew beyond anything imaginable and so was her twins. They were overnight sensations all of a sudden and those who ridiculed them were now eating their words in shame.
Evita didn't create a wealth machine for only her and their mom, but also for them. After the advert which made the phrase "Lemmi prode ur hole..." a hit, the twins got featured in 3 hip-hop tracks and an appearance on a popular talk show. The hood worshipped them. $trap2$eal was adopted as the new industry standard in conduit manufacturing, aerospace and mega ship manufacturing, thanks to Vincent's involvement in the process. The growth plan was bigger than the dream they initially had.

Evita didn't create a wealth machine for only her and their mom, but also for them. After the advert which made the phrase "Lemmi prode ur hole..." a hit, the twins got featured in 3 hip-hop tracks and an appearance on a popular talk show. The hood worshipped them. $trap2$eal was adopted as the new industry standard in conduit manufacturing, aerospace and mega ship manufacturing, thanks to Vincent's involvement in the process. The growth plan was bigger than the dream they initially had.
Soon they sold the company for $ 3,975 billion to the firm though Vincent insisted they stay on with her as still the Group CLO and Nia as head of Innovation. Evita got out a cool $ 1,950 billion and Nia a full bloated $ 1, 510 billion, which left the twins with$ 515 million, that's a split of $ 257.5 million each (enough to make it rain a whole year long). At the tender age of 19, they were the coolest kids to hang out and roll with. The twins and their mom were set for life.
The twins' dad, Roddy, who got laid off for bad behaviour where he used to work at the Yellowstone National Park, emerged out of nowhere and started using media to grab their attention and he got it. Media loved the drama he came with. His kids didn't give him a piece of any of that under the sun and got him riled with anger. He then one day followed the couple on their way back from the mall after trying to talk to Nia who gave him none of her time.
When they got home, he forced his way in and a scuffle broke out. He managed to break out of it with his gun and aimed his gun at Nia with an intent to shoot her, and Evita jumped in and shielded her with her back and down she was with blood rapidly soaking her back. She was bleeding profusely. She took a bullet for her. Reality creeped into Roddy and he ran away. The ambulance this time around came immediately and but with all the helping hands on the scene, Evita Morrison passed on. It was the second time Nia witnesses an incident of that nature. A day later Roddy was caught after a high speed chase. Evita was buried like a heroine she was and her wealth left to the twins. As per Evita's wish to open an investment company, Nia and the twins did so and named it after her.
Q_if the scenario was to be named, what would you call it? How would you have ended the storyline? Why?
Scenario 20
Rodrigo Gambo is a mystery of a person on many levels. His life is unlike of anyone I've come across, but do read and hear about. He's a divided house that is soft at face value and a hardened leader in the underworld, the head member of a 19 member conforth clique, Euro de Liberado, which was called Lira de Liberado before Maltese Lira got phased out in August 2008. They are a repossession syncretism that to them, hell is paved with good intentions.
The team has a casino owner, 2 bank owners, 1 railway line lessor, 1 ex-central bank governor, 1 money mint plant owner, 1 actuary and owner of an insurance underwriter and bond origination company, 1 ex-military Major-General and fleet tracking company owner, 1 commercial lawyer and telecom company owner, and 10 round the clock team of operations runners, assassins and intelligentsia.
Rodrigo's family owned acres of a hordeum vulgare plantation in Northern Malta. His father, Maffeo Gambo, a former cleric initiator and chief deflowerer in some underground cult who went into business. His mother, Merlin Gambo, a spokeswoman and senior negotiator in the international relations office of a continental NGO, P.U.A. She is a powerful and connected figure in the political sphere.
Rodrigo's brother-in-law, Fidel Zimenn, served in the Forzi Armati ta' Malta Squadron before he met his sister. Fidel is the effacer of problematic elements and loves singing fado and te deum. His military background gave him an edge over the rest when it came to leading the clique, thus he became Rodrigo's second-in-command. The two were inseparable.

His military background gave him an edge over the rest when it came to leading the clique, thus he became Rodrigo's second-in-command. The two were inseparable.
Euro de Liberado is a syndicate that operates on a simple matrix of integer figure shifting. What they do is reprint every tenth note in the mint plant and package them for add-circulation in the market. They run their night operations on odd-day counts, meaning Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And their money moved by rail on Sundays only, using their privately owned train wagon.
The money gets cleaned via casino wins and bank. The bank financed only lenders who're marginally poor at 2.5% interest whose loans are insured by their member. Their hard cash cargo in transit doesn't get delayed by anything and anyone, and any element that proves to be a nuisance taken care of on the spot. They are moneyed beyond imaginable comprehension as their latest reserve was laid in crypto piles.
It is hilarious thinking that only the Prime Minister of the country and his P.A knew the top 9 personally and the President only wishing to, yet fearing them. The Prime Minister, Marco Popodoulos had a cut in it, done through funding lifestyles of his family and other benefits. Even himself, secretly yearned to be close to Rodrigo and Fidel but the pair not budging. Both partially despises womanizers for they lie easily and while Rodrigo strongly disapproves of drunkards for they're untrustworthy, as such he stood no chance with them.

Both partially despises womanizers for they lie easily and while Rodrigo strongly disapproves of drunkards for they're untrustworthy, as such he stood no chance with them.
In his space, Rodrigo likes wearing thongs with tabis. He stayed alone in his 13 room plateau top mansion. The only person who's close to him besides his family and clique members is Leandro Zonos, nicknamed Fillip, his servant who stays in his yard in the servants quarters. Fillip was in fact more than his servant, he was a confidant, the clique's scroll decoder and counselor, and his sultry predilection.
The clique has its own year of 33 weeks, and hold meetings once every 11 days. They had no month but only weeks with 11 days. And on the eve of each 11th day, Rodrigo has to realign his potentate realm with his sultry predilection until before sunrise. In the realignment, Fillip was the controller of energies and Rodrigo the harvester of the churned energies via a passage only they connect through but never link on orally. The session starts upper north with brain shower and to the lower north before spread of his coagulated exabit from his pubic tower on his mid-edenal section, after the temple curtains dropped to his lower left and right south. He alone knew Rodrigo's ocean and rub his planets according to his warm bull's eye tunnel, warranted by the dictator messengers of their tenebrific forces. Only him knew his pigment imperfections and perfections.
Weeks went by as usual and but this first time something strange happened, Fillip vanished without a trace. Rodrigo got so stressed as he couldn't trace him because he had a while ago during a moment of intenseness, given him a burner phone with a grey SIM card embedded into it sans consent of Fidel or the clique. The only way to talk with him is only when he calls in, his SIM doesn't get identified and leaves no trace of his calls. It was only for use among the clique.
He disappeared 6 days before the next meeting. Days passed and the meeting was held with no good organization of things. It was vivid, the omnifit puzzle piece missing was pointing out that Rodrigo wasn't the sychronoscope they knew him as. Fillip was his curtain raiser in that he balanced him as he realized earlier on that leadership is a syncategorem act. The preceding meeting passed and also the following 3 with him still missing. On the verge of the 5th meeting, Rodrigo collapsed in his kitchen early one morning. By sheer luck, Fidel thought of checking up on him on that evening after noticing he's not in the right space since losing Fillip.
He called in their special doctor and within a day he was fine. But, the issue was still not having Fillip around. Fidel organized for him a replacement but didn't match the connection he had with Fillip. Fidel quickly picked that up and arranged for the return of Rodrigo's estranged son, Viroga (name derived from the ruler of soul takers in Hades), back into his life and it worked a bit. Viroga's existence and that of his mother still an odd hush hush tale as nobody had seen or knew anything about Viroga's mother, whom she was and where she was buried and by whom after it was revealed she's late.
There were speculative conspiracies of him having killed the unknown mother after complaining about Fillip's fondness by Rodrigo. Only Fillip knows the whole story and protective of Viroga. His devotion to their pledge of secrecy was the legendary of envy to every player in the clique in that neither has ever sat and discussed anything with him nor touched him. He had virtual power they couldn't fight or say a thing against, strange enough was that even his family didn't have access to Fillip but only Viroga.
Time passed and still no whereabouts of Fillip, until he asked his runners to dig up on him. On the second day their roaming router zip deciphered his code in Peru. Because of his soft spot for him, he told them not to act up on their locating of him, and but just inform him the main man is in need of him. The runners left a note in his nephew's school bag and watched his moves closely.
Fillip was terrified after the message that read; "never rob the fool you fear. You've not yet reached that choral ode in our orchestra pit. Don't play too far from my radiance. Undo this miscalculated click. My flesh is frail sans your Toucan Modality. 3 more nights of self-percolation, your exit plan will be your filum to a Lepelle croc's delicacy, only then I'll be free and healed" and decided to go back to him. Being back to Rodrigo, he apologized and honestly pointed out he wanted to quit. He was tired of being his avadavat. He wanted to claim his stolen self back.
With the new fellow in the quarters, Rodrigo sensed tension between them and ordered for him to stay in the mansion with him. Being that close to him, Fillip saw how genuinely caring about him the 18 year gapper was and changed his attitude towards him. One thing boring was that he understood he can get away with murder any day. Days later, upon noticing the edginess of his replacement, Norton, Fillip attempted to initiate him and it went horribly wrong when he refused to be secretly deflowered by him and got him coldly furious. Suddenly Fillip hated Norton wholeheartedly thereafter that he even put it to Rodrigo the newbie has to go. To Rodrigo, he was supposed to have left soon after he arrived, more so as he was initiated by Fidel not him (his sin). So, only Fillip knows his scents.

A day after, Norton was relieved off his duties and thanked with 2 beautiful gifts, a roll-on and a designer belt. On his way home there was a roadblock and unfortunately a police dog sniffed something odd and was found in his bag, that roll-on. It was tested and found to be 100% liquid crystal in it. He was arrested. The belt was tracked in case he passed the roadblock as he wasn't supposed to make it home.
The clique was back in shape, Rodrigo's health and effectiveness were on track and so was Fillip happy. Everything was how it should be. Realizing how important this nobody of a player the guy really is, they unanimously put him on the clique's payroll. His family's fortunes in Peru were changed forever, they elevated in status.
Q_who're the real leaders of the clique? In who of them do you find yourself? How?

Scenario 19
In wanting to be one of the best in the world of business, Kimberly Palmer graduated from university to become a certified industrial psychologist. She had never wished to work for anyone and but had to have something to start with.
She joined a company that her mother organized for her to be absorbed in as it belonged to a friend of hers. She did good and saved her salary for 10 months. She then called it quits. Her working was to save for her 3 months rental for the office space she wanted to practice from. She opted for a furnished office that was ready for business and had it already branded and leased an 860cc city car to go around with.
She started manning the office alone and consulting. It was awfully slow and on the last day of her 3 months didn't have anything to take from the business and pay for her rental with. She paid with the last she had and pushed on. It didn't work out still, and went to her father to ask for a loan. Her father didn't want to assist and she tried her mother and nothing too, with the reason that she had a job and chose to leave it for her to come back to them for cash. She then tried her immediate family and they too failed to assist. After failing with them she decided to close shop and start afresh somewhere.
She moved out of home and rented an apartment in precinct Toronto. She called a varsity mate to check with her in search of finding where to go from there. She told her she's a specialist in Human Capitals at some medium-sized company that manufacturer and distribute plastic ware. She did more calls until she thought of her cousin, Hannah, who's in marketing and self-employed. She agreed to meet and they sat, and discussed different models for different fields until they settled with the virtual model.
They joined forces and their combination worked wonders for the market as hard as the one they wanted to penetrate. They approached companies with their services and it got a thumbs up from the onset. Within 6 months they had 5 clients and building. In 12 months, they were on 9. They were operating from her apartment and going to prospects and clients for appointments using taxis.
Prospect companies slowly jumped in after realizing the benefits of their fresh, modernised and cutting edge way to servicing the market. In the following year the numbers grew by the weeks and to its end had them registered 87 in their books. Hannah realized that the business was through Kimberly's services, and ceased offering hers in exchange for her doing the marketing for the practice and that was the best move ever. In year 4 they stood at 292 client companies. They were on a roll.
Soon their model was replicated by new entrants who did the same with lower fees and that started affecting their business. In the midst of their bout term, at 371 clients, Hannah resigned after receiving an offer from a big marketing company that she couldn't refuse. Kimberly was left alone with no marketing specialist.
Year 5 was tough and she found 2 assistants and soldiered on. Her strategy was no more about growth but client retention and it worked. She mirrored what her competition offered and matched them. She did that for a year and a half, and got Kimhan rejuvenated by a new breed of 3 graduates who tried doing what she did but failed. The 3 asked to join Kimhan as a package and she did not think twice about that. In just 4 months, the landscape was upside down. Kimhan had a media psychologist, an educational psychologist, and a political psychologist. They had an edge again over the rest. Kimberly didn't know what to say or make of their growth. Soon they reached year 7 with fanfare. They were standing on a record 1014 clients on their books.
Kimberly and her associates were allover the news, as psychological experts and analysts. One day an email was forwarded to hers and got surprised to discover that Hannah had a hand in the 3 approaching her, and called her for an outing invite to thank her properly.

Kimberly and her associates were allover the news, as psychological experts and analysts. One day an email was forwarded to hers and got surprised to discover that Hannah had a hand in the 3 approaching her, and called her for an outing invite to thank her properly.
When together, Hannah gave her a simple answer that she left her soul behind at Kimhan and was worried about the 3 as they were introduced to her by her senior and saw them as a fit for her firm not in a company set-up. They're free spirited and their company would've wanted to clip their wings. Again, had they had funding they would've destroyed Kimhan.
They deviated from the subject and 20 minutes after, Kimberly deliberately left in a huff, leaving the key on the table with the address on its keyholder. Hannah called her about them and she asked her to deliver them at the address from the keyholder after work. She did and found her not there yet. Minutes later out of curiosity she unlocked and got in. The ambience of the apartment was a no match to where she stayed. She called Kimberly to check how far she was as she assumed was her way of wanting to show her her new place. Kimberly asked what she felt about it and what she'd add if it were hers. She said it's more than perfect. Kimberly told her it's hers and was her way of saying thank you for sending to her "the 3".
Hannah was speechless and overwhelmed by such a gesture, so unexpected. She spent some time in it and drove to the firm to see Kimberly. She gave her back the keys and told her she doesn't deserve a beautiful gift as such in that she betrayed their dream in chase of a rotten apple. Said Kimberly deserves nothing more than respect from her for her undying spirit, not herself. Kimberly interjected by saying it's too late, it's in her name and the agent awaiting her signature for finalization. Before saying more, her last for the day client walked in and Kimberly introduced Hannah as the co-founder of Kimhan. They went out and climbed upstairs. Hannah walked out slowly as if not sure about herself or something.
Q_what do you think is in Hannah's heart right now? What was Kimberly's message to her through the client? Was Kimberly genuine about thanking Hannah?

Scenario 18
I've never seen or met someone as pure and transparently fair and honest as Og Lekwele, an extrovert moPulana who hails from Nelspruit. Og, a 23 year old grounded Sagittarian virgin who is a loud thinker that never went far with schooling but naturally gifted in commercial matters. He met and befriended a struggling Cape Town based Israeli music writer cum producer called Snazzy Proxy (real name David Rouhna), at the bus station.
Their friendship grew fast and soon started doing business together in him being the creative director and Og as the business manager. They established an entertainment label called mezzoFELA. On the side, Snazzy was a Dj. The pair were clueless about the industry but pushed regardless.
Og is a resourceful somebody who mingled with the right crowds that be and got a lot of information to use in their label. He shared everything with his partner. Og tried many formulas to make the label be, and but only in year 3 started showing traction. Snazzy was learning from him. During his gigs he'd rent pluggers, give people free airtime to call on radio and television the songs by Snazzy, pay for him to appear in pics that matter, and so forth. He worked hard to get the label recognized.
Time came that Snazzy Proxy got his public profile raised when a song he never thought will hit be an anthem. Soon he was the industry's golden boy who's featured left, right and centre in multiple genres. His manager, Og, warned him of not being in every song he's asked to feature in, but he rode the wave. Seeing that soon he'll be out of flavour, he arranged for a job interview at a provincial television station. With his help he aced it and got the job.
He was now a big player, and mezzoFELA started signing other artists to cash in as continuum after Snazzy's success. On the media side, Og organized endorsement and product placement deals for Snazzy's program, and soon he was commanding huge figures to his account and moved to national radio platform. In national radio, Snazzy was the first radio presenter and Dj to have a radio show that was lined up for live performance streaming in clubs and other hosting venues. He was larger than his peers. What was troubling to Snazzy though, was that his manager and friend was not as loaded as he, and got him thinking.
Aged 29, and Og 28, Snazzy Proxy made a move that left Og teary all day long. He signed the whole label to his friend and partner manager, as a token of his appreciation for what he did for him. Mind you, because of his devotion to mezzoFELA and Snazzy Proxy, Og was still a virgin at the time.
Time went by and they drifted apart due to busy schedules. Aged 31, Og finally met the love of his life in a Lesotho-born artist he rejected signing, Pego Senao, and together grew mezzoFELA to the level of being an outernational circlet wearer. They even started artist exchange agreements with continental indies that saw the rise of mezzoFELA hitting unimagined heights. Og was killing it, raking in millions by the month. Og, then 35 and his soul mate, 6 years younger, got married but made no noise about it. As a couple, they were worth just over ZAR 163 million.
The business grew to mezzoFELA Entertainment Group, comprising of music label, radio station, television channel, advertising and publishing agency that 14 months after marriage their empire whistle an ear grooving ZAR 404 million. They were fast growing while his friend on the other hand fell out of flavour following his racial slurs towards blacks running amok on social media about how a mistake it was for monkeys to be let out of their cages by their masters and now forcing them to treat them as their equals. As a result he lost his job, al income stream deals and social media following, and no journalist afforded him an interview as no broadcaster wanted a scent of him.
He went back to his friend with a bronze jar in his hand, tied with a white handkerchief. Going against Pego, he took him in and but knowing the danger he will bring to their company, set up a charity organization and made him be its ambassador. He was grateful that he got a second chance in life and it had no taint on the business except praise for him for being brave and forgiving.
Q_if a friend did the same would you do as Og did, and why? What should Pego do going forth?

What was troubling to Snazzy though, was that his manager and friend was not as loaded as he, and got him thinking.
Aged 29, and Og 28, Snazzy Proxy made a move that left Og teary all day long. He signed the whole label to his friend and partner manager, as a token of his appreciation for what he did for him. Mind you, because of his devotion to mezzoFELA and Snazzy Proxy, Og was still a virgin at the time.
Time went by and they drifted apart due to busy schedules. Aged 31, Og finally met the love of his life in a Lesotho-born artist he rejected signing, Pego Senao, and together grew mezzoFELA to the level of being an outernational circlet wearer. They even started artist exchange agreements with continental indies that saw the rise of mezzoFELA hitting unimagined heights. Og was killing it, raking in millions by the month. Og, then 35 and his soul mate, 6 years younger, got married but made no noise about it. As a couple, they were worth just over ZAR 163 million.
The business grew to mezzoFELA Entertainment Group, comprising of music label, radio station, television channel, advertising and publishing agency that 14 months after marriage their empire whistle an ear grooving ZAR 404 million. They were fast growing while his friend on the other hand fell out of flavour following his racial slurs towards blacks running amok on social media about how a mistake it was for monkeys to be let out of their cages by their masters and now forcing them to treat them as their equals. As a result he lost his job, al income stream deals and social media following, and no journalist afforded him an interview as no broadcaster wanted a scent of him.
He went back to his friend with a bronze jar in his hand, tied with a white handkerchief. Going against Pego, he took him in and but knowing the danger he will bring to their company, set up a charity organization and made him be its ambassador. He was grateful that he got a second chance in life and it had no taint on the business except praise for him for being brave and forgiving.
Q_if a friend did the same would you do as Og did, and why? What should Pego do going forth?
Scenario 17
Nicknamed "Hitler" for his love of Wagner's music, Rian McKingsley was a lovable farmer who was in love with a veterinary doctor, Anga Lieh. Hitler was a very easy and soft-spoken while his lover was loud but not talkative like he was. The 2 lived on a farm where both worked from.
After some time with her, Hitler proposed and in no time got married to Anga. They had a child, Tanya, and celebrating her birth they registered an agricultural enterprise called AAML Enterprises as Anga never changed her last name after marriage. She never believed in that, saying what matters is your being together and staying as one forever.
On their farm they had a well-built caretaker by the name of Malvo, a very quiet and hard-working chap. As the work grew with the business growth, they employed more workers. Many of them were women. One day Anga called out for him and no answer came from the other side. So, she decided to go to the servants quarters to check for him, and her eyes showed what she long wished to see and was the sight of unclothed Malvo. He was fast asleep and she saw him through the open window and laced curtain. He was so perfect to stare at and stood there for a while until he moved and Anga ducked, and went back to the main house.
Later on after an hour or so, he emerged. She couldn't look at him straight as she was used and Malvo didn't understand why, but chose to shut and take orders. 4 months on, there was a 2 day farmer's summit that Hitler had to go to and wanted Malvo to tag along on so he could learn a thing or two about farming, but Anga insisted on him staying behind, citing safety reasons. Hitler understood and went solo.
The very same night, Anga invited Malvo to guard her. Before going to bed she gave Tanya a Ghb spiked warm soup. A minute after she fell to sleep. Anga spent half an hour in her bedroom and came out wearing a see-through gown. She went downstairs to chat with Malvo who by then was uncomfortable with the whole situation. She assured her it'll be their sweetest taboo.
Weeks after, Malvo developed some feelings for another worker, Nelly. To Malvo it was a decoy to allay any suspicions of his affair with the madam. Years passed with no one seeing anything until the time Malvo was the one in charge of operations and by then was married to Nelly. Nelly found out about them and as revenge went for their master, Hitler. She managed to seduce him though it took her a while and a blackmail to get him to do it. She pressed him by telling him she'll lie about him committing bestiality to her wife's patients and he fell to the threat.
Because of her failure to control herself, the affair didn't go anywhere as the scandal broke and Hitler couldn't handle it. The following day Anga was seen loading her packed bags into her car and Nelly approached her. She whispered about their sweetest taboo and Anga was shuttered. Asked Nelly what she wanted and she said she wanted the same status as hers. Weighing the loss of her worth to an unknown, she agreed and asked her to help her take back the bags in.
Days later she drove to town and when there, called Nelly to come sign her papers of her shares in the business and the farm. Nelly did board a taxi there only to find her not there. She sent a please call me, and she responded by saying she had to rush to some client and to be back not long. Within minutes a call came through from an unknown number to ask her to walk a few blocks from where she was and as she crossed the robot a stray car hit her and never stopped.
News of her unfortunate death came as a shock but also as a relief to Hitler who never knew about her wife's secret with Malvo and to Malvo as being with her was burdensome. Using her husband's guilt, Anga made Hitler sacrifice his 10% of the estate to Malvo for his loyalty, of which he did. The affair went on undercarpet until when Tanya was 15 and Malvo forced himself on her. Her mother was older and less appealing than her.

The affair went on undercarpet until when Tanya was 15 and Malvo forced himself on her. Her mother was older and less appealing than her.
Anga was in a dilemma; support her baby and lay a charge against him, or pay Malvo to go away? Her challenge was losing it all; her marriage, reputation, career, daughter and Malvo. If nothing gets done, Malvo won't stop and may start being disrespectful and Hitler will react, which will compromise her, and also if he gets arrested will sing and that a compromise too.

Scenario 16
The only thing known to Sino de Lorenzo was painting. His paintings were an attraction for the village he came from in Brazil. They were different from anything else they've seen or bought. His paintings were painted on wet cloth and when dry gave a distinct look and feel unlike any. He sold mostly to tourists passing by.
One afternoon when he was about to call it a day, an odd looking fella arrived and asked if he could see his entire collection. Sino told him it's late and his other stuff was at home. The fella, whose Yugoslavian accent was hidden by the good tone of his English speaking, said it's fine if he's not sure of selling to him his entire collection and left.
The following morning he went to him again and managed to persuade him to sell everything. Seeming a potential cuss to him, Sino agreed to sell him everything at once. Before collecting all the works, took a pic of his 2 most favourite. He sent them to his prospect for sample and they loved them. He took off with everything. The following week came back again to take more and even accompanied Sino home to collect those at home. He took off again.
What Sino didn't know about that fella was that he was an artwork collector and an agent to curators. He didn't tell about himself. He sold the pieces for a good fortune in Europe, Asia, Middle East and U.S. Then one Italian car manufacturer loved the artwork and wanted to collaborate with the creator of the works.
The Yugoslavian flew back to Brazil and spent 2 days with Sino. He took a video of how he did his work and studied it and understood he couldn't do it himself. He then arranged to take Sino with him to his makeshift workshop and had him experiment on different materials until they got it right. Sino signed the deal with the Yugoslavian, now known to him as Udin, as his Agent.
There's an Italian car manufacturer that just rolled out of its assembly line a brand new model called Jama (derived from IsiNdebele for stand still) because of its design language. The Italian car manufacturer commissioned a special series that but got out with the signature name of Udin, launched as The Udin Series. The Jama "Udin Series" had globally unique feature on its alacantara leather seats and upper dashboard, steering wheel and side seals. The seats and dashboard featured a permanent artwork on them while titanium side seals engraved Udin Series had glass inserts mated to them that bore artwork visible through that glass. The steering wheel was half moon with power boost buttons atop each end of wheel with its number put on the mid-shaft in the centre.
A month after the deal he got a nasty surprise hearing that the works he did for Udin were for a collector's edition car range that each fetched a whopping BRL 5 765 610.00 in Brazil. Calling Udin to confront him about it, he calmly told him, "it's my deal not yours and you got paid to surrender your rights". Udin told him to check some online auction website to see how much his works were bought for and he couldn't believe it. Udin added his signature on all of the pieces he bought from him for next to nothing. Sino took the agreement to a local Paralegal who confirmed Udin's version. Further, it specified that Udin will only be his agent in his territory, Brazil, not globally as he thought it to be. Thinking his consultation could've cost centavos compared to his loss. It was painful to see his regret in that he told him about the surrender of rights and he just signed because of wanting fame.

Q_is it fair what Udin did to Sino? If it were you, how will you have handled the relationship? Why?
Scenario 15
Irv Norwood was a lecturer at one of Los Angeles' finest business colleges. He went to Harvard himself. His classes were conducted both electronically and by contact. To his family, his career path of choice was a disgrace given that 3 of his siblings were doing big things with fancier titles; chartered accountant, ship captain, and vehicle designer, and him an MBA holder who chose lecturing.
Doing good unto others a good way of creating own luck. Few years done the line, a surprise visitor asked for his time and he availed himself. When meeting the stranger he was dumbstruck to find that it was a former student of his, Terence Townsend, nicknamed Double T.
It was obvious his visit was not for casual chats and so asked straight up what the purpose of their meeting was about. Double T laid it to him about wanting him on board for a start up he's part of. It was a pharmaceutical company that specializes in packaging and storage. He told him they are 6 and left with finding the last piece of their puzzle, and that's him, to make it the magnificent 7. The only condition being that he must come in full-time, thus leaving his job.
Each member in the start up had a background with at least 3 years experience for the least experienced. He checked the idea plan and the profile and skipped to the resumes with interest in their gender quota, of which he discovered it would be 5 males to 2 females. Asking about relations he found no romantic links of any to the other. So, he liked it and said he's in.
The company, Brown Dot PharmaPacks was founded. It took 2 years of grinding to realize traction. They were very reliant on him and Raymond to see them signing contracts and the pair delivered. Their contacts saw Brown Dot popping up here and there in conversations. Irv's student list was forever interrogated and it paid off in that most of his contacts were from his former students and were very helpful because of their liking of his humbling attitude and respect for him.
Jackpot was hit the day he received an email from the Senate's office by someone who happened to be one of his most memorable students, Bradley Stevens. He gave him mileage none has done so far by connecting him to the oval office. After just 4 major contracts signed, the partners unanimously approved for an adjustment to his percentage in the stock and gave him an additional 5, which made him 12.5% heavier. The gesture saw him push even harder.
In year 6, they grew to the level of listing on the stock exchange with an IPO of $2.31. Irv was now his family's favourite. In total Brown Dot was commanding $ 3 billion to its reserves before the listing. A year later their market cap was 8 times worth. Irv couldn't have made that much had he stuck to his first love, teaching, he kept telling himself most of the time when alone. He was on his way to being a billionaire, having what he secretly yearned for, fame, and commuting by air like he did in his childhood dreams.
He was living his own American dream and loving each moment of it. He was the crush of many women as nothing of his was ever mentioned about his life outside of business, he was too clean and too perfect, and for that got rewarded with the title of first Chairman of the company. Though he didn't fancy himself as such, he embraced it with reservations in that his face would be too out there, something he despised.
He made sure to push his CEO to the front whenever there's a probability of spotlight. He loved his invisible power. He understood the game, and also the code of power. 17 months later, boom!!!,,,,Brown Dot hit its first $10 billion mark, and him worth a cool $880 million. The company saw it fit to rebrand and their start was buying a newly built skyscraper with 26 floors. The new name was BD PharmaPacks Ltd, and was in bold atop the building. In the following months they were on $50 billion. That cemented everyone in their group as a dollar billionaire.
Their names were published and interviews were taken by his partners except him. His stance saw his value escalate beyond imaginable heights. With his now estimated worth of $6,2 billion, he started contributing to periodicals and booked for motivational speaking for a hefty fee.
He was still not seen in public until he did and on the very day reconnected with someone from his heyday of teaching. They even went to his house. With his weak social skills he ended up drinking too much and the two got wasted and slept on the sofas. Very early in the morning, his friend discovered something shocking about Irv that was the answer why Irv was asexual with them then and now.
During the early hours of the next day Irv puked on himself and forgetting that he's got company, undressed. At a certain time in the morning, his curtain blinds automatically open up by sunlight detection. Irv was still asleep and bare on the sofa and that's when the friend noticed something unusual about him and quickly grabbed her phone and took a pic of him before waking him up.
Irv still reeling in shock to realize he's not alone in the house and was undressed, jumped off the sofa and up to his bedroom. His secret is out, his blunder was his moment of weakness that now got him where he was by then. What to do? What to say? What about others knowing through his friend? How does he silence the friend and when, with what? His world was about to crumble.
Q_what is it that you think Irv was hiding about himself? How would you silence your friend about what they saw? What gender do you think is the friend? Why?

Scenario 14
The funeral of his best friend was well attended and dignified for a beginner in business. He will be remembered for his mouthwatering recipes, especially his sabayon. It was also heard that he died on the day he was to tell his friend the truth about his parents, a rumour that made rounds.
After the funeral, together with Mona, he went to observe the wreckage of his Vauxhall. He found that it was just an accident. Paul has always been a vaunty fast impressionist driver, and not a surprise he didn't survive the impact of the collision. Luckily he hit a lamp post. This happened 5 nights after a hell of a cruise down the autobahn in Germany, where he learned the truth about his best friend Harry.
Harry Koch is a food technologist and his girlfriend Mona, a road accident reconstruction specialist. The two were living together in a rented apartment in downtown Brussels. Harry and Paul were business partners in a local deli, Rasp, on the outskirts of the city. Paul died days after having not had physical contact with his friend and partner. The only person he had a lengthy chat with on that fateful day was Mona, who got told the story of his boyfriend's real roots, and met his untimely death on his way to the deli to relate to him what he uncovered about his true identity.
Harry didn't have any slight thought of him being adopted by his family until after pressing Paul's girlfriend Thea, to tell him the truth. Thea told him to talk to Mona to learn everything about himself and other developments pertaining to his true being. His name came about as a result of his unending cry. The Kochs adopted him after being abandoned by his parents as they couldn't afford raising him. He was only 11 days old and therefore got his birth registration changed, and his name from his mother retained though added with another, Moritz. The Koch family moved to Belgium when Harry was 3 years old, hence their children are Belgian. His adoptive parents had no child of their own by then before the two that came after Harry. In short, Harry was German born by foreign German nationals, one Polish and the other Croatian.
Mona used her contacts to trace the whereabouts of his parents and found that the father Wiktor Nowak, is working at a steel factory in Zabrze city in Poland, while the mother is a Slavic gourmets chef and a part-time teacher at a culinary school in Croatia. It's not yet established if they still have contact. The Kochs adopted him after his adoptive father who was a porter by then at the local hospital found him left on the bench in the still of the night and reported that to the matron he met soon after.
A day later was informed the mother had absconded and the boy child would be under foster care. Seeing that he had the means to care for a child, then arranged with the then hospital manager to adopt him and they did. He did all sans involving his fiancee, the now adoptive mother to Harry. Hearing that, Harry loved his adoptive father more and decided to name Rasp's mother company after him as a token of appreciation.
Harry applied to drop his first name and remain with the second with a vow to drive growth and be bigger and better than his Slavic mother. He had Paul's younger sister into the business and continue with the magic they created then with his brother but was never the same, nevertheless they saw growth.
Rasp was through Thea, growing in popularity around campus scene because of her strides. She had a student Rasp group she used as her vehicle of awareness for Rasp and it made Rasp a significant player in campus cafeterias and also into factory cafeterias. Though she was now with another guy, she didn't break the spirit as Alon was understanding. He got also involved in times of brainstorming and came up with good ideas. The only challenge was the disapproval of Paul's younger sister, her disliking of Alon was dense.
Alon noticed and understood her reason why, and but kept working hard at contributing towards Rasp's growth and earning trust from the younger sister. In time she eventually saw that and they got along fine. 9 years later, Moritz got invited to be a panelist in a national "creative campus food" competition. On the final leg in Charleroi, he sat next to this older chef who was a fuss to work with. She demanded to be seated on a higher than normal swivel chair, be placed in the middle and be the final sayer in the commentary. She was beautiful though. In the end of the competition, something mysterious happened. Her touch by chance to his hand had some unexplainable sensation that surprisingly got them react to it simultaneously and glanced at each other. Trouble was that she was too old for him to act up on the connection and also that he had Mona for years with him. They maintained a vacuum in between themselves and avoided touching each other again.

The competition came to an end and they split after a photo shoot with the winners. Weeks later it was revealed through Mona's contact that his mother was a judge in the competition and that her contact details were at the host college. To him was a sign and a blessing they never acted on the connection between them. The woman, Petra Horvat was full of herself, something strongly disliked by him.

Scenario 13
Liam is a very quiet and reserved guy from a very wealthy family that owns an armoury manufacturing and distribution company in Netherlands. His father is grooming him for his succession in a few years to come seeing that he's 58 and planning to retire at 60 or 61, depending on Liam's readiness. He worshipped his father and wanted nothing to do with him that will upset him.
Quiet as he is, he's but popular with ladies. Because of his withdrawn nature, it's easy for girls to get what they want out of him. Liam is a very deep loving music person who most of his times spent at Museum Speelklok. Funny though is that he only started frequenting the building after knowing it was no more a church, formerly Buurkerk. One thing that Liam doesn't like is church, and his family are an opposite of that.
One Thursday afternoon he met up with 2 lovable characters, Tess and Liv, who both are studying at Utrecht University, on his way out of Speelklok. Tess is a fun loving person who but is too loud for Liam's liking, while Liv on the other hand is more Liam type and worse was that she is a fan of dance music and, her favourite dj is Miss Djax. Liam was smitten with her as they shared a lot in common that it got them closer.
The club scene in Utrecht City hadn't yet discovered them and it stood that way as they partied alone in his apartment. Hearing how good Liv was in business, he introduced her to his brothers and father whom too loved her. After a brief encounter with her, the father felt his son made the right choice. As a token of his satisfaction with her, he told him to invite her over to his office to try her if she'd be a fit in the family business, of which he did to disbelief of her to.
Day arrived and she knocked off early at school. She got there, waited at the foyer until she could be attended to and asked for Liam, who enthusiastically informed the receptionist to let her into the lift so he can meet her upstairs. They did and spent some time with one of the most important personalities in the country's business landscape. He even took her around alone sans Liam, to get her mind and heart for his own conviction. He was sold with her that he selfly told her if she doesn't find space for internship can come work for them 'cause after all they'll be family with her.
Suppressing her joy, she kept her cool until she was alone. She departed earlier to be with her friend for celebration. Tess was happy for her. As days fell, Liam told her to come do some time with him there on her free days and she did. Seeing her focus and determination, Liam's father offered her a permanent position that she accepted.
On the day of her signing, Tess asked to accompany her and she said yes. Upon arrival, it was obvious to Tess that everyone was noticing Liv. Into Liam's office first, and he wasn't sure of what Liv was onto and he brushed it off and but told Tess she'll remain with him in his office. Calling his father to instruct HR director to prepare the contract as Liv was there, Tess asked for the toilet. She did that purposely knowing that Liam's office doesn't have one, Liv had told her it's close to his father's office.
In there she timed Liv's inning into Liam's father's office. 30 seconds later she got out and knocked on the big boss's office and pretended to be lost. The father, hearing that they knew one another, said it's fine she could wait in his office while sending Liv and the director out to finalize everything in the director's office.
While busy with a conversation, out of the blue Tess's legs are wide open and her side zip on her skirt is up and exposing her private section of her body. She took off her underwear while in the toilet with the intention of seducing either the director or the father so she too can have the same opportunity as her friend's.
With maturity he played dumb and SMSed the director to cancel the contract if they had already signed. Then after summoned his son to his office.
Coming in he was perplexed by what he witnessed and called security to escort her and her friend out. Liv didn't connect what they did wrong as Tess was quiet and pulling her to the lift while Liam was tearful and not saying a word. Immediately she received an SMS telling her it's over.
Starting to cry, she asked her friend what happened and she lied to her that Liam's father wanted to rape her and she fought back, that's why they're chasing them out. On their way back she kept telling herself something is not making sense and tried calling Liam who kept ignoring her until he blocked her. The following morning she went to see Liam but security denied her entrance. Asking why, the guard told her after the stunt they pulled none will ever forgive her.
Going back to school with more confusion and broken heart, a lecturer called her to the auditorium where he advised her to also advise her friend that after their failed attempt to blackmail a person of power as Liam's father, their futures are bleak as their qualifications will be worthless in the whole of Netherlands and as such should try elsewhere abroad. Lost and numb, he quickly told her that they shouldn't have seduced him and rather asked for his help where needed.
Turning her back from laughter by others on her, one of them showed her online their trending story. Not knowing what to do, thinking it's her final year, her single parent's student loans she took with hopes pinned on her, the shame on her; it was too much given that she couldn't face her friend after all and that Liam's done with her, and can't bear her family's disappointment in her. She committed suicide. Tess then later concocted a lie that made Liv take the fall and everyone believed it except Liam who but kept quiet with regret and self-blame.
Q_what would you've done had you been in Liv's position and how?
Scenario 12
Pinnata was a dying restaurant that is owned by a very jolly couple, Nikolai Verkovetz and Sinnah. Pinnata is an Italian restaurant that was the brainchild of Sinnah. She worked as a business administrator and later as business development manager at a national bank in Milan, Italy, before getting married to her professional carpenter Russian sweetheart who moved with her to settle in Perth, Australia.
Thanks to Marta, an easygoing Italian cook who plied her trade in many restaurants and hotel kitchens under the guidance of senior cooks and in some cases serving under local chefs around her home province of Emelia-Romagna. She was skilled in Italian menus, carte du jour and other foreign menus. Through her, the business picked up.
While still enjoying good sales, Marta didn't inform them she was pregnant until it started showing at month 7, by her local Aborigin boyfriend. Sinnah got bitter and started treating her and the boyfriend bad. Soon after giving birth, Marta decided to call it quits as her boyfriend got a good paying job as a bookkeeper for a medium sized accountancy firm.
Back at Pinnata nothing seemed rosy for the couple's business and relationship. Nikolai was ever blaming Sinnah for ill treatment of Marta, her own homegirl. Then as the situation worsened, patrons started ditching the restaurant slowly until sales were to the level of 10 dishes only sold a day and 16 to 20 on a good day. When with Marta they sold an average of 60 meals a day and 70 to 80 drinks.
Nikolai decided to drive and search for her, and on day 4 was successful at finding her and begged for her to reconsider coming back. Asked who was cooking for them, he said a local girl who couldn't get it right. Asked also about the guy whom she taught her menus before leaving, and he said that he left a week after she left. Lastly asked what she'll do with the baby as she had no one to care for her? Nikolai said: "I already have that sorted out in case you said yes."
Understanding the ex boss's plight, said she'd come back to him after talking to her man, of which she did. Glad to hear that, he sat Sinnah down and set some new rules that had ultimatums. She gave Marta a call and apologized for the way she treated her, promising she won't be the same again if she were to return. Damin, Marta's boyfriend, said it's fine 'cause after all she came to Australia to do what she loved and that's cooking her specialized menus. None could replace her.
On the first day back at work, a regular who stuck with them said to both Nikolai and Sinnah that, "food, not only Italian, goes with the preparer's hand, and that Marta has that for their liking." And that he'll spread the word about their favourite chef being back. The Australians never bothered to even care to listen to the couple's rectification of her status as a cook not a chef as to them she surpassed even some of the chefs they tasted their hands.
The surprise awaiting Marta for her baby was a baby corner prepared for her baby boy and a minder to allow her to be close to him during work. The thoughtful move touched Marta so much that it saw her vow to stay forever after seeing even the changed attitude in her sister boss. The second and last surprise was that she'll get a 25% commission for every meal sold daily that passed the 80 mark. She was over the moon for that extra daily cash insensitive.
Q_do you concur with the regular patron's words or not? Again, don't you think the insensitive is shooting themselves in the foot? Why think so?
Scenario 11
As the manager of her clothing label, Paballo was full of enthusiasm and hopes of growing her small business, WearYu. She was ever knocking on doors, some banged to her face and others left ajar with idled promises.
One Wednesday afternoon changed her day. She received a registered letter telling her about the follow up to an email sent a month ago to her. It was about a deal memo contained therein that she must inform them if she's keen or not on and that they were prepared to reduce the pages to 6 with but items number required still same for her range. They assumed she wasn't able to meet the quota, thus reduced.
The actual reason was that Paballo was not checking her emails for business as she lost hope after countless daily checks that drew nill. She quickly opened it and perused the memo. It required her to do a 8 page spread of at least 2 items per page collection. The catalogue to be accompanied by her resume and the label's portfolio.
With excitement she called immediately the fashion buyer who promised to guide her where necessary if she proves to be a listener and executor of instructions. 'Don't run, walk your ground; that's how the surface will notice and tell it's you' her first advice to her. Paballo did as guided and got the consignment deal memo signed by the chain stores.
Paballo's excitement got cut short when she realized the money needed for her samples was a hefty sum. She was to deliver 4 sizes of each of her 3 items in the chain store's footprint of 261 in South Africa alone, with a possibility of 178 more within the SADC bloc. She had no staff and no factory to work from. Luckily a friend recommended to her a business manager by the name of Kgotso. On top of it upon the first day of contract signing, connected her to a factory owner who grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
WearYu delivered all the batch as agreed though 2 days late, but the buyer turned a blind eye to that glitch. The sales took longer to pick up as anticipated and the lenders started worrying. Kgotso realizing the upcoming mishap, roped in a business consultant who swiftly rescued the situation by converting the lenders into equity holders. Pressure was ultimately eased.
The business consultant advised Paballo to create a webpage to drive traffic into the chain store's outlets through. Within a month it had shown results. WearYu was starting to get marketing budget from the chain store as it was selling in droves. The business was growing and so was that of the factory doing the work for them.
Paballo got an advice from the equity holders to cancel the contract she had with the factory and have hers to maximize profits. Kgotso was sceptical and as such involved the business consultant who was against her move, but the call was hers to make. The equity holders were gunning for a warehouse they just had taken away from a defaulting borrower in their loan book. The space was big enough for workstations, office, boardroom, kitchen, and showroom.
As loan people, they inflated the book value of the property to squeeze more out of WearYu. The sale went through sans any hurdles. Now, she had the building acquired, what about the machinery? The business consultant recommended to her to lease the space rather and buy the machinery. Now she was faced with the dilemma of leasing working equipment or acquiring it via availed credit facilities offered by the equity holders. Their primary aim was to tie her with credit so they extend their holding and ultimately take over the business.
Going against Kgotso's advice and the business consultant's recommendations of leasing the working equipment to avert liability plus distance from her to be factored during crises and when working late, she fell for the equity holders' debt trap. In 12 months she wasn't out of the credit trap as per their repayment plan as they experienced a strike that caused her to default. That automatically made the equity holders grow their holding of the business.
5 months down the line, at midnight, a call came in telling her to come to the factory quickly as there was a blaze hemorrhaging the structure. She sped to there and sadly found that the roof had already caved in. Trying to call the equity holders, they told her they don't work for her but partners of hers and that they'll come in the morning. Already regretting, she called Kgotso who immediately rushed there to console and be with her until the blaze was no more. Kgotso thought of informing the business consultant who also came after asking the station commander to open an inquest in Paballo's absentia.
Morning came and the equity holders told her they are immune from any kind of loss resulting from the business as they have an indemnity clause protecting them in such an eventuality. Also worse was the fact that Paballo had no insurance for the business (something the equity holders advised against as that'll only dampen the profitability of their return). Even if she had insurance, she wouldn't be covered due to the waiting period technicality. As a result, they had to take over the business and Paballo only left with nothing to say or do except walk away empty handed. She couldn't believe how naive she was for listening to those heartless bastards instead of her manager and consultant.Luckily due to her good relations with the fashion buyer, the matter of non-delivery was dealt with highly and squashed with the aid of their in-house counsel. The fashion buyer reiterated her words that Paballo made a mistake of running instead of walking, and that the chain store will not make business with her again in future no matter what, and that she should've listened, but it's all in her reality passed and to focus on her future.
Q_after this, would you trust any financier's intent with your business ever again? What actually transpired here?
Scenario 10
There was a 27 year-old man who was an aspiring publicist, who met the best-paid publicist in the game. The mega publicist was 29 year older than him and 21 years senior to him.
The 56 year-old man had seen years of seeing his age and name inked and echo as a spokesman for the presidency, government departments and as publicist for many a company's heavily decorated directors and Hollywood's A-listers. His mistake though; making others feel more important than he is at all material times.
He got to be close to the youngling through a friend's wife about him not cracking it even with a PR degree. He instantly agreed to see him and on the spot agreed to have him shadow him as an observer for 6 months only. The 27 year-old was excited and did come to the party for the opportunity.
Together they got on and soon they were seen everywhere and him being introduced to numerous key mattering persons in various industries and diverse fields. He was shaking the right hands and rubbing shoulders with the well heeled and powerful. The chap was into thicks of opportunity and cream of unself created lucks. His day started running out of hours, he hardly slept. Looking how far he got in just four months, couldn't believe it.
In the fifth and sixth months his face was starting to make appearances in social media and he was loving every minute of it. The PR guru started trying to coach him on how not to make your name and how to, and the youngling slowly showed him he didn't care. The senior wanted him to start spotting money making gaps to fill but he wanted something else and that was fame, and he got plenty of it.
Six months arrangement came to its retirement and they departed. A month later the youngling saw his fame wane and but fought to hold on. In 3 months he was getting lesser and lesser views and realized it too that with a month left to turn 28, he did something wrong. He went to the senior publicist's friend's wife for postmortem of his stint and he was lucky to have her give him time and help with fixing and appointment with the senior publicist. The reason he didn't have his number was because he only communicated with him via his P.A, knowing he wouldn't be bothered in times like these.
He went to see him there. Getting there the youngling didn't receive the warm reunion hug he anticipated. Reality was that the chap was an outcast and as such won't treat him like an insider. He was straight to him. He made him realize how he threw away his opportunity at end of month 4 when he started wanting to be himself and hogging publicity unto himself. The lesson was that a publicist operates from behind-the-scenes that's why he is popular by name not face, a different case with him.
Again, he only mattered to the right powers that be as an entertainer than a publicist, hence they met him only in social spaces not in corporate space. He was only known in that side not within corporate circles, as such he was never in, reason enough nobody wanted to procure his services as he failed to sell himself when he got the chance, as he chose pictures with them and to them nothing more than the picture crazy boy they saw in him.
He was coldly told to his face that he got the degree but not the material. He tried begging for another chance with the promise that he won't behave the same as then but was told he was never an easy manage and that he lost revenue that he'll never regain thanks to being shadowed by an ungrateful and self-centred opportunity waster that deserves no chance again with him. He didn't care to learn the cost of his days next to the old timer. He cared only about his next appearance in social scenes.
He asked for references from him and he laughed saying, "even if I give you them, they are worthless than the ink and paper put on them." Truth was, it was already spread out of how he won't be a good campaign runner as he craves the limelight. A publicist's face is of no importance but a his name. Also, his mischeck was not sticking to the script after being too comfortable. Robert Greene wrote, 'never outshine the master' and that, the worst mischeck ever for any aspirant to commit, for once stepped into that territory there being no telling what the future holds for the transgressor.
It was painful to witness his tears rolling down his cheeks in cruise control. Seeing that, the old crock stopped short of informing him of how prepared he was to offload some of his non-core clients for his start of 25K a month to build from. His last words were that, "don't be lost to the spotlight for the limelight loves you and in it you're found. Fortunately, you got the code to the closed open world of glam. Hope to sight you framed soon." Knowing him, the friend's wife thanked him for honoring his promise and level up with the failed aspirant. He left and that was the last the young man was ever close to him.
With eyes fixated on his, the publicist's friend's wife nodded her head (wiping the young man's tears) and said to him: "he's not mad at you, just disappointed. But so is life my boy, no guarantees if you run on rehearsal mode. Good luck." She showed him out.
Q_to you, what does the last words to the aspirant publicist mean?
Scenario 9
Osswelu Koumantarakis and his life partner, Cora Vasileiou, affectionately known as Cora Vasi, are debt magnates who jointly own 65% of Empricodivest. As a debt company, it specializes in debt recapitalization, debt to equity, debt consolidation and mitigation, and bridge financing. They are the power couple of their times in Alexandroupoli, a port city in the Northeastern side of Greece.
Osswelu is not a person who's out and about, unlike Cora who's the oxygen of any party she slots herself in. His seriousness is something else, that's why whenever he goes to an event, he brings an occasion with him. He doesn't stay long out and most of his evenings are spent at office on El.Venizelou Street. His office is the one to die for. It's on the last floor of their corporate high rise building, has a kitchenette, boardsuite with mini bar, sleeping chamber with en-suite toilet and shower plus a small closet, vaulted study room, pvt balcony, and pvt lift; reason enough he hardly leaves it.
Osswelu and Cora have 3 age differing same cut offsprings, namely; Aegeus, Ethan and Leonidas (his favorite and most quiet of is sons). Though nothing sinister with it, but their public profiles managed to be residents of almost every gossip monger tongue around the city. Their lifestyles a clash of classes that they somehow make it work. They're odd in an offishly fashionable envious way. They command your attention all the time just by sighting their togetherness. It's unexplainable yet aspiring to any pupil they grace.
Laughable is the similar character of their young ones, who take after their father, all quiet. He can be spotted in public with them less the mother, all together but not saying much at each other. Eish, truly a pack to take your time out and study, hence they never go out much as a unit.
What everyone including Osswelu himself didn't know was that he was infertile and only Cora knows. What also Osswelu didn't know was that Cora is a qualified medical doctor who chose not to practice after graduating. She also doesn't associate with other doctors. Further unknown to Osswelu was that the best friend of his life partner is not a woman, but actually a crossdresser who happens to be the father of their offsprings, who never gets to be close to his children because he too doesn't know.
Sad thing is how Osswelu adores Cora for having given him 3 handsome lads that are already rich, young as they are, and will do anything to see her and them happy all the time.
Q_if you were to know the truth, what will you do and why?
Scenario 8
A Tamil middle-aged widowed mother of 2 from Telangana, who grew up in a family of business decided to quit her job and go into business. She was taking a risk based on her first-born (Larissa) daughter's placed mind in business. The daughter was 20.
The venture started off to a promising start but few years in they lost everything. With only recapitalization the only way out, the daughter got married in a marriage of convenience to a middle-class family. The man was a computer whizz who some called a nerd.
Realizing that she failed, the mother called it a day and settled to being an employee in the business as her son-in-law revived it. A year and a half later, put her heart down and went out permanently because the business was changed rapidly for her to cope. That not a bad thing though as her son-in-law roped in a cousin who was a good administrator and together with him and her formed a formidable team.
3 years later, the business was worth enough to attract venture capital firms. It got an offer for 6.4 million Rupees. They had a software engineer guy who just joined in as their CIO and a husband to the cousin. The CIO was the main reason for attracted interest from venture capitalists on the business.
Now that the business was making waves, Larissa started developing tendencies of making others feel she's the queen of the show. That didn't make the business any stronger as she wasn't creating any value at all with her behavior. Her husband was a patient man who ended up losing it and together with his cousin and her husband, colluded to buying the company and leave her wife out.
Being a woman, his cousin didn't budge but said she's sworn to secrecy as she's never to tell a sole their hatched plan. They made an offer that Larissa declined. By then Larissa didn't know it was by her husband as they had a brokerage firm doing the work on their instructions. They then sweetened the deal and still hit the wall.
One day the head of legal in that brokerage firm said to them that he understands they really want that company so bad and can assist in them getting it. He gave them some documents to sing and let Larissa too sign, of which she did out of knowing her husband is with her in everything. A week after, the brokers called a meeting to discuss another offer. Larissa voiced her unwillingness to attend and signed a proxy for her husband. With a proxy he was armed and they voted as one.
They accepted the offer and same time tendered their resignation letters. The very same evening Larissa got informed about the husband's expression of intent to divorce her. A double blow for the high and fierce Larissa. She never cried nor beg and instead told her husband she never loved her, and her reason for being married to him. The husband told her he at times felt it and but loved the potential Larissa had, and that he but genuinely loved her though he too started out with nothing for her, and that he wanted to see how strong her love was there for him.
Realizing her jealousy had caused her dearly, she never contested anything and parted ways with him and them. The husband settled to walking out empty handed. Larissa's family was no longer in position to compete in that league they were used to and she invested everything they got from the deal in a notice account that gave them a meagre 9.87% per annum. Her mother was not happy with her behavior of late and ended up not talking to her, and so did her sibling. Her estranged husband made matters worse when he got engaged to an exact her age employee, and her mother couldn't handle it and reversed her breath for trade with gods.
At 31, Larissa was left sad, bitter, alone and broken hearted on the day of her mother's funeral to learn that her younger sister is working for her estranged husband and that the company that bought their business was his and them, and that her younger sister was a production manager who owned a 2.5% of the company.
Q_what would you have done in this situation?
Scenario 7
A woman who is a feared trigger happy nark in a lesser known township, stole the heart of a very successful consultant doctor. The doctor has on average 3 micro-surgeries in 6 provinces and planning on opening the first one in the seventh province.
The doctor met the woman at a scene where he was called upon to go attend to an unknown friend's friend who got hit by a bottle in a scuffle over what nobody to this day knows, only to find him dead. The woman was the one who did that and no one was ready to say anything due to fearing her. To his surprise, the woman confessed to him to the crime before emergency services personnel arrived on scene. But regardless of that, chose to say nothing too, reading the regret crystallized in her eyes.
The incident passed and with days falling saw the doctor falling for the rough woman after establishing she's a lesbian and him a straight-acting bisexual. They got off like a steam train and in 2 months were allover each other and the doctor so into her like a pig in mud thanks to them both being private exhibitionists (nudists). Also the fact that he spoke en clair to her unlike in the case of many doctors to their conquests.
Their sharing of backgrounds and commonality in activities poured 'faya in2 thi gasolina' day after day. When they say, 'connected luxuria will disempower you, they're right. The doctor befell so hard for this woman in a way never seen before. It is a wish for everyone to find that mate who ticks all the boxes and more, and his reality was that, the envy of any friend.
He even took unusual interest and got into the business of the woman who's now his girlfriend, which is affiliate marketing. He tapped into it and started seeing exponential growth that injected massive bottom lines to his business that it got him blinded to his core calling and business. The girlfriend took over his power and at the same time nobody could say a thing because of fearing her.
They started attending LGBTi events together and subscribing to that lifestyle. Due to neglect from him to them and his queer stigma, associate doctors exited the entity en masse and so did the staff and clients. Seeing the state of her lover's career and business prospects, his girlfriend advised him to sell the business and continue with affiliate marketing business. He sold it and forced her to take half of the money and even went to the extent of bestowing his all to her, of which secretly the girlfriend passed to his siblings as she wasn't into him for his estate but for love and gratefulness for him having saved her from going to jail and, being a soulmate she longed for her entire adult life. She was real and loyal to him.
He started his own online business and with her expertise was thriving until one day when he found a letter from his girlfriend informing him she couldn't do it any longer. His life came to a halt, and the next minute screeched off to acceleration of suicidal thoughts.
Without her in his life, success is nothing for he's never going to experience his completion from any other lover again in his life. He called several times, albeit ringing off the hook. He drove to her township and checked her regular hangouts with zero success, and to her home only to be questioned what he did with her. With his mind allover the place after finding no help from the police, ended up jumping straight into it. After all he was nothing alone. So, he sped out of the township and speedo needle flat down purposely missed a y-junction right into an embankment and died on the watery.
Attending to the scene, a paramedic found in the deceased possession a phone that rang continuously that it prompted him to hand it over to the police officer in charge on scene. The officer answered it and discovered there's a ransom demanded from the deceased and alerted his senior. They played along and by GPS tracking found the location and apprehended the thugs.
Hearing what happened, the deceased girlfriend called their lawyer and amended her will, later bought a gun from her gangster friend and went to the police station on the morning of the kidnappers' day of court appearance. Patiently she waited and established from which wing they'll be out with and go for attack. She couldn't be sure of whom the perpetrators were and went to court. Leaving the gun in the car she attended the bail hearing.
During court break, got back to the car and took the gun. This time without patience, shot and injured the police officer on guard and gained access into the holding cells and shot them to avenge her loss. Before anyone could get to her, shot herself too. Later that day, was reported that one of the shooting incident victims was an ex-associate doctor of the deceased and the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
Q_What did you learn from this scenario?
Scenario 6
An eloquent Romanian businessman from affluent yet quiet town of Oravita on a holiday in Cape Town fell in love with an exciting perchance opportunity he trampled upon. He was on a tour of a vineyard when passing information by a concerned employee grabbed his attention. It was news that the vineyard is about to be shut due to low sales volumes and high operational costs.
The employee was worried sick about their future. The thought of losing her job and going back to begging was too much for her to contain. Fortunately, what she did was a favour unto herself and others.
The Romanian quickly called his business consultant to get in touch with his consultry about the vineyard. Within 2 hours he received a report detailing everything about the vineyard and its management. To his surprise, a crucial call followed the report to sweeten his excitement to jubilation. It was told to him that the Managing Director of the management company in control of the vineyard is on his way to meet with him in 35 minutes' time, and so shouldn't move there.
In 28 minutes a call got in asking which side of the vineyard is he. He was in the Eastern side. The tall and dark Ugandan met with him and the deal was made on the spot with the board on VoiP conference call and offer accepted. The board secretary conveyed her congratulatory message over a courtesy call.
After 5 weeks, he held a wine tasting event, with the setup at the staff assembly. The event received positive PR and opened international markets. In 4 months the new wine was a hit in key markets, making the business 11 times the value it was acquired for. His success prompted the ex MD to pay him a visit to understand what they did wrong. What he got out of the meeting was phenomenal, to say the least.
The simple answer was; I arranged a famous lifestyle vlogger from AbuDabi to grace the wine tasting to attract media attention and via that repositioned the brand to the upmarket bracket. Secondly, I ditched the old brown bottle for an S.A flag transparent one to sell the content easier without tampering with the wine. Its bottle shape and chiffon wrap makes it a suo item on any stand and table in the world. Thirdly, I changed the name of the wine and logo to the name of the vineyard for its rich history and culture, and it sold. Fourthly, I gave the distribution license to your brother-in-law in his home territory (Zambia) and in yours, Uganda, knowing he won't disappoint because he doesn't want to let you down. Lastly, the second storeroom is now converted into a museum. What's good about it is that it's the income derived from the museum that pays salaries and maintenance of the equipment used, thus lowering operational costs.
The ex MD asked: "why did you ask me what I wouldn't do with the vineyard if I were a board advisor?" With a chuck the Romanian said, "I knew it would make you see less value than potential you had in your possession, hence you jumped in to take the first lowest offer ever when I mentioned I too will put in more on advisors to turn it around." To hit him hard was when asking him how many advisors does he have on his team, that he said it's only him and his consultant. After a pause asked, "Then, why my brother-in-law?" And the witty Romanian said, "because he's an orphan you took to school to finish his studies, after sacrificing your last year at Kyambogo University to obtain your degree, and your younger sister is the one closest to you between your siblings, and because of your family values they'll share with you. I know your head is in HR but your heart is in logistics, and again is my way of saying thank you because the key broker to that deal was you." With teary eyes, he said, "you did your homework I see." With a sincere tone and a nod remarked that that's why he has a consultry. Patting his shoulder, the tall and dark one said goodbye, to which he was given a complimentary bottle.
Q_what did you take away from this? And if it were you the ex MD, what would you do and why?
Scenario 5
3 long time friends and former classmates met at the wedding ceremony of one of their friend's younger sister. It was about 19 years since they sat together. As such, the reunion was an event to cherish.
When they parted, 1 of them suggested they join him in his agricultural business, OrinoGroen. The first said he can't because of his recently extended contract as a Project Consultant for the next 4 years and the other got interested and said he's in.
He immediately resigned from his current position as a Sales Supervisor at a car dealership. He worked for his friend for 2 years without any problems until all of a sudden his friend told him he's bowing out and going abroad to pursue another opportunity and leaving him to be the MD and his twins as joint CEOs, so they could learn from him. The twins were a boy and a girl aged 20, namely Riaan and Rohanna.
The decision was a bitter pill to swallow for the board as they were against the move, citing lack of maturity in the twins. But for the MD, he saw no problem in that he will guide them. He had a soft spot for both of them as they showed respect and love to clients and board members alike, and they in turn loved them.
6 days into the job, the MD was forced to take a leave for 5 days. On the third day, 7 calls of complaints were received directly to his line about changes they are making without consulting them and also about the loud noise. Trying to hear his new bosses what is going on, got a shock of his life being told they are bringing in changes that will put the business in the frontline of competition with the rest in the market.
Being a patient person he is, waited for the leave to end, though still fielding complaints. Going back, it was transformed indeed. From corporate identity to the workspace, to music played at the reception, and to boardroom swivels ditched for stools (so meetings could be shorter), nothing left unchanged, yet noting some were positive like signages, painted workshop floor, among other changes. Asking what necessitated the change, the 2 confidently said they were sexifying the industry and reining in snazziness into the business. Realizing the mess the twins caused, held a brief capacitation session with them to enlighten them on change management, brand management, interest groups' input and engagement, and his role in the business. Rounding the session off, the twins stood their ground and pointed to him that given his age he won't get it, and so said their online advisor. As the convenor, he called a special meeting to bring everyone to speed.
The next day they sat and hey,,,,things got heated from 0° to 220°C in a jiffy. His favourite twins were turned to power morphed monsters who told everyone where to get off, Riaan and Rohanna were no longer the same sweet younglings he used to love. The meeting dispersed with fingers pointed at each other and with others screaming from the bottom of their lungs. To his disappointment, was hearing from Rohanna how a pathetic poor salesman he was that her father rescued from a measly dead-end job. He couldn't believe it. Same time, got into his car to make a call to his friend about his mistake of having appointed his twins, of which the lament fell on deaf ears.
2 weeks passed and the thriving business was starting to show signs of distress and still his calls raising no alarm to his friend. The following month he tendered his resignation and left to become a partner in a startup by one of their newly former long-term client who was aggrieved by the lack of courtesy he received of late from their supplier.
Hearing that he is with Noordfluk, the startup supplier, everybody flocked there. Hardly a month in, a call from his friend rang in. He asked him how couldn't he had saved OrinoGroen and that why left so sudden to work for enemies? He simply said; "a pathetic salesman is now a promoted somebody who now owns part of a successful company, and is the salesman of. His friend quickly hung up.
After 4 days, reports flooded the circles that Rohanna shot and killed Riaan after fighting for car keys and ZAR 130.00 for petrol. This just minutes after the repo team drove off with 5 leased company vehicles they defaulted on. The very same day, your friend called again begging for your forgiveness and offering you half of his shares if you came back to revive OrinoGroen, thus meaning 32.5% of OrinoGroen vs 10% in Noordfluk.
Q_with things stood as they are, what will you do and why?
Scenario 4
Happy’s parents are not happy parents at all. Happy is a 19 yr old guy who fell in love with the world of film making. His love was fuelled unfortunately by binging on reality tv content. He always told himself that after passing matric he will parachute himself into that industry and force his content to any director he gets a chance with, and that’s what he did.
After passing matric with dull colours, Happy travelled to Jozi (Johannesburg) to pursue his dream. One thing I got to say I admire about him is his resourcefulness. Happy had no friends or relatives to squat at, and just after lending in Jozi, went straight to the nearest police station he could get. Once there, he asked to be detained for nothing and be released in the morning for the next 3 months, of which the officers denied to do but gave him a place to sleep in the interrogation room for only that night.
In the morning, he woke and thanked the officers. Out he was without his backpack, which he left on purpose. The whole day he went up and down in search of production houses with the hope of bumping into any director to show him what he had. Later went back very late at the police station where he fabricated a story and was again accommodated, of which this time he caught the attention of the station commander who took him in and allowed him a place in the changing rooms next door to the shower rooms.
2 weeks in the big city, Happy was lucky to bump into a less known director who was on the look-out for new material, and what Happy gave to him was what he was looking for in a long time. A week later, a call was made to Happy and was promised ZAR 220K for his material. Without hesitation he did take the offer and promised to deliver more hard-hitting stuff as he was working on some new material that promises to be exploding.
With that money, a halt was met when it was realized happy didn’t have consent on the recordings he made. The director then introduced Happy to his friend who is an underworld producer/commissioner of online content, who loved Happy’s material though his offer was lower to that of the first production house. Happy took it. Then, a day with the producer/commissioner made Happy the happiest person named Happy in the world when he uncovers that the guy runs an online adult content website that is streaming a web-series that is for viewers above 18 yrs of age.
Happy wrapped his other material and sold it too to the guy for online viewing. Within days the content was an instant sensation that was dual. The first one being a production about his family life and that other about peeping at women in the force. The only trouble was that the materials were without consent from those appearing in them and as such a cyber-criminal offence.
At home, in Lebowakgomo, Happy’s parents couldn’t get it why they were stared at everywhere they went until his eldest sister stumbled upon an online link sent by her friend from Turfloop, and went mad realizing that their family’s dirty laundry was viewed without their prior knowledge and that the only member not appearing in it being Happy, her second last born sibling. That made Happy’s parents unhappy.
At the police station, the station commander was not having it easy either with female officers vowing to file lawsuits against her for having allowed a pervert into their workplace and record them showering every day as he was given a place next to the shower rooms.
Q_as the station commander in that situation, what would you do?
Scenario 3
A group of 26 truck drivers got together to form a trucking union. The idea was a good one according to the legal consultant they went to. The working documents were drafted and other affiliate forms filled out and done.
The legal consultant showed two representatives whom she always consulted with about the trouble that lies ahead. According to the papers that they signed as founding statements and other articles of incorporation, there's a policy and that policy is in complement to the constitution. The two men didn't understand what she was actually meaning when she said there was trouble brewing. Seeing that they don't get her, she opted to keeping quiet.
During the night, she received a voicenote from one of the representatives asking for clarification since he can't sleep not knowing what she meant. The legal consultant showed it to him that it's not an obvious thing that they will be elected to the committee just because they are doing the ups and downs for the union. She further alerted him to the fact that their union is rapidly growing membership here at home and outside at the rate of 14 a day and are fast approaching the 250 mark.
Still not sure as to how bad such good news is for them, she said: "your union is attracting SADC drivers as members and when nominations come there'll be nasty surprises for them in that the committee will have to have representatives of each country that has its citizens as members, thereby coining it a pan-African union, so chances of being at the helm post elections are slim. The representative hung the phone with sadness filled in his heart.
After 3 days of not taking anyone's calls, he decided to go to check on his buddying representative, only to be told he's at the office of the new union, the union he founded with him and others. The time he decided to switch his phone off was the time there was a need for his blessings to a special seating to form the committee for the union. After several attempts at getting him to avail himself, it was decided that the elections go ahead.
Of the first 26 members, only 3 made the cut to the top 9 who are the committee. With an achy breaky heart, he started demanding answers from the 3 of the top 9, which had his buddying representative installed as the spokesperson and convener. The chairmanship went to a Malawian national and his deputy a South African. The deputy chairman whispered to him that it was his position but due to his unavailability, had to opt for someone else.
After learning of the developments, he called the legal consultant who said she knew and was an observer, and asking him to not question her loyalty and other guilt-tripping innuendos because she went to his place and knocked until she had it enough. As such, nothing is below board, and has only himself to blame.
Q_after working so hard for nothing, which course will you take? Why?
Scenario 2
Two men who met through their daughters who are friends, joined heads and got into business together. The first one, Mr E is a qualified builder who has years of experience in meagre jobs like erecting walls and house extensions, and Mr G a retired principal.
The venture got off on a good note because Mr G has a son who is a consultant engineer and got contacts in the industry. Within 7 months in, the venture got a sub-contract that saw them raking in a cool 6 figure dot gross that after deductions left them a whopping 867K to pamper themselves with. As a numbers guy, Mr G figured if they split 250K each, it'll leave 367K to do another job without asking advancement.
The meeting for that went well and the two departed for an early night caps. Then trouble started soon after departing through a call from another contractor requiring their services. Mr G without hesitation agreed and sealed the telecon deal on the spot. Same time calling Mr E to come back to the office. Once there, Mr E found that estimates were done and the contractor sent a guarantee for that job, of which Mr E took home with.
Mr E showed his wife two items in his possession, a statement of balance and the guarantee. Mrs E, sang hallelujahs in praise of his husband and putting the two documents in her bra for safekeeping. Knowing his woman, Mr E started sweating with stress for regret. In the morning, he had to explain every detail of the two documents of which to his wife didn't sit well, saying Mr G is robbing her man and should give them their money because his man does all the hard work alone.
Still in her gown, she ordered her husband to take her to Mr G, to which he claimed to not know where the key was. Thinking Mrs E would give up, the opposite happened when she called on her taxi driver son to drive her there of which he did under duress. Hey,,,yaah, that woman sure knows how to ruin a day for a person. She started from top demanding nearly all the profit claiming it as her family's money stolen by Mr G, and said the same should be the case with the new contract. Before Mr G could say a word, out she went rambling to cheers of passersby.
Still fuming, called his son who calmed him and said his father should buy back all the machinery he bought for half from Mr E and he'll quickly register a company for him and would gladly join him and channel more jobs to that company. Said labourers would be put on job to job contracts and won't cost much to pay them unlike with the current setup with Mr E. His son mentioned he's qualified to do all the jobs and more bigger ones thanks to his accreditations, which far outweigh their current ones, and that a wider opening window of opportunity. The phone call changed how Mr G understood and saw their business. And, just after dropping, Mr E calls in apologizing for the whole mess, saying he couldn't contain his happiness and his wife was the closest person he could break and share the news with...
Q - knowing that your wife would never do such a disrespectful thing, and also now hearing there's a better chance of you doing better alone with your son, what would you do?

Scenario 1
A very powerful woman who is the only female Chairperson of
the JSE Top40 companies is your wife and you are the househusband. One day on
her way home back from a tiring day filled with marathon meetings, she gets
involved in a four pile car accident that saw her hospitalized for two months and
three weeks.
As the world of business is cruel, the board decided to
replace her with another executive who is her arch-rival. The successor made
sure that he erased every trace of your wife.
Five months later, nothing was ever said about her any longer that it
drove her insane. Confined to a wheelchair, none in the league wanted anything
to do with her except for one less powerful white male executive. In and out he
frequented your home and to the ear of the rival, it met a bile wax that saw
him going to even an extent of spreading fake news about an alleged affair
between your wife and the executive.
As a husband, with doubt and worry brought by your wife’s
adopted quiet diplomacy in the whole saga, you ended up trying to reach out to
the executive's wife to no avail. The whole issue tainted your marriage to a point
that you opted out of it with a tune of separation and exiting your home.
A year later at the comfort of your sleeping couch in your
rented room, watching the all-news channel, see your estranged wife in a very
jovial mood in an interview about her near-death experience, a failed marriage,
and a rise to newer heights. It was about her life lessons and her journey from
the giant merchant-venture trading company to where she is now. To your surprise, got to find out that she’s
the vice-chancellor of the university that the president went to, that also you
dropped out of eighteen years ago.
As a result of her courage, atop her university post, the apex of the interview was her recent appointment by the president just hours
ago as the minister of Higher Education and Training (breaking yet another
record as the first handicapped minister to be appointed to that role), after
it emerged that the journalist who first broke the fake news of her alleged affair
with the executive was actually paid to do that. The news came out of the
autobiography the journalist released four days ago after being axed as an
editor of a top television station nine months back.
Q_now that you know the truth, what would you do
and why?
This coming from me a police officer i will go back to her an pretend to be dying and she will love me again because i know her she is not wrong but me and love is love once and once more.

ReplyDeleteDark1's mother poisoned Clara then tried to cover everything up with the claims, knowing very well the attention will shift and she will not be a suspect. Maybe felt guilty then committed suicide by poisoning herself.
ReplyDeleteDark1 should take Clara's side.
