“Brilliant Watson!! Simply brilliant!! Coming up with a business deal like this! It’s a wonder they named him CEO over you! You’ve got yourself a deal!”

Christian could hardly believe his ears! He didn’t think his father would agree that quick, before he could say anything; his father was summoning the company lawyers. James Watson also called his lawyers to the conference hall.

After the lawyers of each party thoroughly went over the documents; each party concluded the contracts were legit and in order. With a greedy smile, Harold Taylor signed over thirty percent of Taylor–Corp shares to the merger account; while James Watson signed over thirty percent of Watts–Corp to Taylor–Corp. Each of the men shook hands as Harold ordered his assistant to bring in some champagne.

“A toast! To the real brains of Watts–Corp! CHAIRMAN James Watson!”

Applauds erupted throughout the conference room, one person however was not in a celebratory mood. Christian. He wasn’t sure why, but there was something uncomfortable about this deal. And his father agreeing to it before speaking with either him OR the board had him silently seething. After the contracts were signed, James took his leave.

“Let’s make a shit load of money Taylor!”

“Indeed!!!”

Shortly after James and his legal team left, Christian immediately ordered everyone to clear out of the conference hall.

“Everybody out now! I need to speak with my father!”

Nervously, the legal team and assistants all began to exit the room. Harold, still reeling from the deal, was smiling brightly as he read over the transfer of shares. Christian made his way over to his father. His voice was low and filled with spite.

“Father….we need to talk.”

Harold turned to face his son, confused, he didn’t understand why he looked so gloomy after brokering a deal of a lifetime.

“Smile son! We’re that much closer to monopolizing the four-”

“What the fuck dad!”

Christian couldn’t take it anymore! What was the point in making him president if Harold wasn’t going to discuss in detail this type of deal BEFORE signing contracts.

“What the hell is wrong with you!”

“What’s wrong with me! Why the hell would you sign that contract! You just signed over thirty fucking percent of our com-”

“It’s my company!”

Harlod slammed the documents down on the table. Ife couldn’t believe how arrogant Christian was acting.

“Let’s get something straight Christian! Taylor–Corp is mine! I’m the chairmant I make the decisions! You do what I tell you to do!”

Christian took a step back. Completely flabbergasted by his father’s words.

“Wow….and here I thought you were setting me up to become chairman… Instead….you want me to be a yes man. Is that how grandfather saw

YOU?”

Harold’s eyes began to soften, slight guilt creeping into his chest. It’s not that Harold didn’t trust Christian; but unlike him and his father…Christian didn’t take risks. Placing his hand on Christian’s shoulder, Harold spoke in a calmer tone.

“Chris…you’re my son. My eldest. Of course I am poising you to one day takeover the reigns as Chairman. But do you understand that because of this deal…when you DO take over…Taylor–Corp will have managed to monopolize the entire four sectors; making us the largest real estate developmental company in the world!”

Harold smiled proudly at his weary son. Of course he understood his reservations; but Christian still had a lot to learn.

Christian smiled as his face filled with skepticism at his father’s arrogance.

“Unless of course you just made a deal with the devil.”

With that, Christian walked out of the conference room leaving Harlod confused. What exactly was the big deal. There was no real loss. So

he signed over thirty percent….they also owned thirty percent of Watts–Corp. This was a win/win!

“That damn boy. He just doesn’t see it yet. This was the right call. You can’t take over the world being safe.‘

Harold thought to himself as he made his way back to his office.

Adrianna walked over to the bar where James was sitting. She could practically smell his smugness in the air.

“Hello James. You look like you’re in a great mood.”

James smiled darkly.

“Oh but I am! Thanks to you, the greatest business proposal maker in the entire fucking world!”

Adrianna smiled cooly, she knew what this gloating meant. James had secured the deal between him and the Taylors. Sliding onto the stool next to him, Adrianna continued.

“So….J take it you made some new friends?”

James instantly nodded in agreement.

“Indeed! Though I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your lovely genius!”

Adrianna smiled while clapping lightly.

“Congratulations President Watson. Looks like Watts–Corp just secured the deal of a lifetime.”

James scoffed.

“After this competition… It’ll be CHAIRMAN Watson.”

Adrianna smiled with a hint of irony in her eyes.

“I’m sure it will be.”

James‘ brows slightly furrowed. He’d expected Adrianna to have more energy than this. Not wanting to harp, he decided she must just be overwhelmed. Taking the contracts out of his briefcase, he handed the documents over to her. Adrianna picked up the documents, her eyes slightly widen before a sinister–like smile appeared on her face.

James smiled.

“Congratulations, you have your star designer, and we own thirty percent of Taylor–Corp.”
