23 Going back to business

I left my Thunder Eye Entertainment a little on the side of my life. I felt bad, so I decided to do a checkup on the company. On my surprise, I arrived and the building I rented was deserted. Did he take off with my money? No, let's not think too bad about him. Shit, I should have put a clause about him not betraying me. Obliviously Hung Lee was behind me casually walking, was he even paying attention to my surroundings?

I decided to call the CEO and he answered "Yeah? Who the fuck is bothering me? My time is money speak quickly!" Jesus, I need more polite people in my life. I can endure insults but nobody likes to hear them constantly.

I then elevated my voice a little "Oh? That's the way you say hi to the owner of your business? I just called to ask where was my business? You know you moved the company without telling the owner...Is almost as if you were fleeing"

He quickly said "Nono Sir! Sorry to had shouted to you, we moved our quarters to this direction, please come by so we can chat face to face. We are on the XXX street number 4732. Come when you have time! Take care!"

And then he hung up, so he was so frightened that even hanged the phone before me? I bet he's shitting his pants and preparing a grand ceremony for my arrival. I bet that he would put rose petals on the floor where I would walk. That would be pretty gay, but whatever. The intention of making me feel better is what counts! I heard Lee sighing as he looked at my face. What? I bet you would like to have such a handsome face!

I finally arrived at the destination, it was a grand 20th story building with a big thunder eye in the middle on the building, and the thunders around the eye were glowing. Nice touch. I went to the reception and told the pretty girl that I had a meeting with the CEO. She called and let me pass with a temporal pass to the 20th floor. I laugh looking at the temporal pass. I was the damn owner of all this and I only had a temporal pass.

Anyway I arrived and the sight of the 20th floor was nothing short of amazing, the decoration was simple yet elegant. I think it was the time to go live in a better place with a better view. I could get used to this kind of decoration and view.

I used <Lachesis Eyes> to help me remember his name, a very useful tool when you suck remembering names.

[Total life span: 83 | Age: 47 | Name: Marcus Shelby | ?? ]

I approached and made a loud whistle and then said "Oh Marcus, it seems that the company is doing well. I think I need to pay for this new building no? Those tiny little details you can call me and ask, don't you think?"

He lowered his head and said "Sorry boss, I had the quickly make executive decisions for the company. We grew too fast and the old building was pretty small for the size. So we are currently renting this newly built building. If you like it we could always buy it later. The rent is pretty expensive, 3 Million per year and the option to buy it out is 50 Million. We currently have the same 35 directors supporting us, 2 of them are pretty famous now. And from the original 5 teen groups, we expanded our search for solo and Korean like idols. They are currently pretty popular. Plus 1 group of semi-famous heavy metal came to us with the intention of them signing with us because their record company was pretty small and were ready for something bigger." He was without a breath for explaining all in one breath I quickly interrupted him with my hand while laughing:

"I was just joking, you are a professional so I trust your decisions the most, and besides I didn't hear any scandals from the company yet. That is a pretty good sign for me. You should prioritize keeping our artists under control and never let them party too much. Too much party equal to disaster, paparazzi and exhausting of the artist. I valor a good foundation better than quickly expanding. For now, focus on these artists and hire more professionals graphic designers, photographs, editors and other artistic professions that are often neglected. They are not expensive and they will improve the quality of our company. HAha hear me speaking like that, you know better than me, I'm just saying my ideas. Do as your please for the good of the company, also buy the building. Send me the bill as always."

My 5 min was almost up and he started feeling pretty confused so I left and went to my apartment. When Hung Lee was watching his phone and tapped my phone and said:

"You should watch this, I installed cameras yesterday after you went to sleep" I was shocked that I didn't hear him coming to my house but even more shocking to see my apartment completely broken apart and a lot of blood on the floor.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHERE IS EMILY?"

Hung Lee then said "She is safe, she left home 30 minutes before this incident happened. I only had time to put some basic traps and alarm that activated if someone locked picked your office keyhole and the cameras. Apparently, they knew exactly where to look, what do you have in your office anyway?"

I was in a state of shock so I slowly said "Nothing important, some books I like to read at night, I had a safe with some memories of my family inside and the passbook of my bank account here. But nobody knows that only Emily, she helped me clean the office the other day..." then it hit me "DO YOU THINK IS HER?"

He coldly said "Boss, you should go to a bank ASAP and see how much they managed to steal in this short time. Maybe you could freeze the account before they manage to empty it"

I was still frozen still in the place, I couldn't understand why she would do this kind of thing to me? She was one of the few persons I trusted besides my family.

Lee slapped me and said "LISTEN TO ME YOU LITTLE BITCH! GO TO THE BANK AND PROTECT YOUR HARD EARN MONEY, THEN YOU CAN FEEL SORROW FOR YOURSELF! YOU NEED TO STILL PAY ME!"

That waked me up and said "Thanks Lee, you are a real brother. Let's go to the NY central bank, they have the most authorities of all branches, we are 15 minutes by walking!"

I turn around only to see a guy on a bike getting a punch in the face and hitting the ground "THERE IS NOT FUCKING TIME FOR WALKING, COME HERE!"

I sat on the bike and felt the wind on my face, Jesus he drives on the same speed as a motorcycle. What kind of thighs does he have? Steel ones?

We arrived at the bank at the record of 7 minutes when we arrived at a counter a man shouting "I NEED ALL THE MONEY OF MY ACCOUNT, I HAVE THE PASSBOOK WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?"
