Right before the companies became a group, there were three different multi-million-dollar companies, running simultaneously under the leadership of Daniel Laurence.  The first company was Axe Capital, a company running as a hedge fund and investment management company. With over seven hundred investors across the globe, trading and making a profit via foreign exchange and cryptocurrency trade, during the pandemic outbreak the company made over seven hundred and eighty-six million dollars by trading on the foreign exchange market. The second company was Rex Media, a media company. At twenty-sixteen, before the crisis began in Daniel's life. The company was the top trending media company in Cape Town, South Africa. In the year twenty-nineteen, the company won the Best Media Company in the whole of South Africa. The third company was Rotex Fashion Company in London, United Kingdom. The company wasn't doing very well because it was established in an English country and the company faced a lot of persecution from the authorities in the country as it was established by a black man. However, Daniel never gives up on the company. Daniel Laurence was a definition of a business tycoon. Daniel Laurence was an African American citizen. He was born into the family of Chief Fijabi Laurence, the most powerful politician in Oyo state, Ibadan and one of the top powerful politicians in Nigeria. Daniel's father had seven wives and a total of twenty-six daughters and one son, which made Daniel a special child and the centre of attention in the family. However, Daniel's father knew the kind of danger that awaited his son in the future, since he was the only son, his mother was the envy of other wives,  and so many political targets awaited Daniel, so his father sent him away and Daniel became a ghost. He never had anything to do with his family's wealth. Eventually, his riches, without support from his father, brought him out and made him become the centre of attention again, but no harm could come to him because he was very smart and extremely careful. However, all that flew out of the window because of one decision he made in the year twenty-twenty.

On the tenth day of March twenty twenty, as the pandemic began to take over the world, Daniel decided to move out of Washington DC, United States of America to Nigeria, which wasn't a bad decision, but the decision to stay back after the pandemic was the beginning of his problem. Daniel had a female personal assistant by the name of Rhoda Johnson. Even though Rhoda wasn't in the United States, she was good at her job as personal assistant to Daniel. Over the Year they both grew Romantic feelings for each other Daniel,  however, had high principles of not getting involved with his employees romantically, even though there was rumour in the company that Miss Rhoda Johnson and her boss were Lovers they both carefree about the rumour and continue to show passionate care for each other. Rhoda was a  beautiful smart lady who took her job very seriously and she was given the nickname  Speedy because of her punctuality and Swift delivery to any tasks given to her.

Rachel replied Brother that will not be possible, because I need to discuss this with my husband, even though he's your friend I need to tell him first, you know what is going on around the world now everyone is afraid, I'm sorry my brother.
