The business proposal pitch applicants had been staying glued to the news more than ever before. Lawrence's anxiety had doubled in amount. He had even called his father-in-law, Mira's father, and told him about the situation. Christopher, on the other hand, is calm, even though he is quite uncertain about the outcome of events to expect.While Mr. Frank told Kelly with what seemed like overconfidence that he would definitely emerge as the winner in the proposal pitching contest,."I'm seriously looking forward to you being among the selected applicants, dad." Kelly tells his dad with an air of strong hope."Don't worry,we have won it already.” The father and his son chat in their private car all the way home, while Lorraine listens in silence."I'll make you dinner," she finally breaks her own silence as she gets down along with Frank and Kelly from the car. Frank is up to his fruitless, silly pranks again, and unlike Kelly, who responds with a thank-you delivered with a tone of true a
Christopher ascends the stage,takes the microphone from the host, and clears his throat before he begins his speech."Ladies and gentlemen,this proposal has been prepared to tap into the renewable energy sector.We are a group of industry experts seeking to create a supplementary source of power to the national grid supply in Mexican states and beyond, extending to the global market.We want to start manufacturing solar panels in numbers, for the utility of citizens of our states especially inhabitants of the suburban developing areas, as well as for exportation to neighboring countries and worldwide, to drive the economy.The renewable energy sector in our country has a lot of untapped potentials and I and my team of industry experts are prepared to explore and leverage the renewable energy space for economic development.” At his mention of the term "team," Christopher's mind wonders back to the bidwriter and the chartered accountant, whom he had hired and met at the exquisite busines
Kelly is at home; he cannot go outside because of his physical condition. People would stare at his arm sling and bandage and ask a lot of nosey questions."I told you that your father has to mend his impure and dubious ways if he wants true success in his business endeavors, didn't I?" Lorraine is asking her son Kelly, with a tone akin to confirming hopelessness for the situation, after seeing the shameful live performance of her middle-aged, balding ex-husband. Kelly finds the situation so uncontainable that he can't find any words to reply to his mother on the spot. Worse still, he is overwhelmed with defeat, having lost the glory that Christopher had earned. He cannot believe that his father, a supposed veteran in the business world, loses to his son's agemate in a simple competition.Lorraine goes on ranting about her disappointment in an unmistakable sarcastic tone, and Kelly cuts her in. "Mom, this is not the time for negative comments and condemnation." These words escape fro
Silver brings out her phone and finds Christopher's picture in her gallery, which she shows to the inspector. The inspector, upon seeing Christopher's picture, quickly remarks, "This is the young business genius, isn't he?" He mentions it aloofly, not directing the question to any of the two people who are seated in particular but also looking from one person to another."This is such a coincidence. You mean Christopher is both a saver and a business guru? Kelly is silent. He wiggles his fingers on the table and stares blankly, trying enough to ignore Silver's conversation with the inspector but failing in his attempt, for he is filled with jealousy and he cannot believe how Silver has quickly switched over to Christopher's side, just like a chameleon switches its colors within a twinkle.Silver becomes more interested in the conversation when she can see the look of excitement and admiration on the inspector's face. "yes sir! He's indeed a saver, but I have no idea what you are talk
Silver has no choice but to sit down. She sits down, feeling denied and powerless at this particular moment in time."Now, young lady, listen well. I do not care what your relationship is with either of these guys. All that I need you to do is cooperate and tell me the damn truth." The inspector said forcefully, with great stress, damn!, which made Silver shake with fear."Okay, I will cooperate with you,” she says with her brows furrowing and the ever-present worry in her eyes since the inspector changed his attitude, increasing with more concern."I have told you everything.” Silver says this between stammering and swallowing with her head down."You have?" The inspector stretches his hand out to Silver's chin to raise her head and take a good look at her unbelievable face."Yes, inspector, what would I want to tell lies for? Christopher was my ex, but we made up again." “So who the heck is Kelly then? Because he calls you his girlfriend?" The inspector comments, raising the muscle
"Father,I like to speak with Christopher.” Mira replies to her father curtly, almost rudely."Don't you talk to me in a rude tone. How dare you, child?" Mr. Gabriel asks, his anger apparently rising."That's okay, sir." Christopher courteously chips in to mediate between father and daughter. Mira gets upset and walks out on her father while he sighs and shakes his head, adding, "What a bone in the neck."Christopher and Mr. Gabriel will continue their communication as soon as Mira is out of sight. "So your proposal got approved, right? How much are you expecting from the government?" Mira's father asks Christopher, turning towards him and trying to look as serious as possible. Christopher clears his throat and begins, "Well, we are expecting nothing less than five hundred million dollars, owing to the nature of the capital intensivity of the renewable energy industry.”"Hmm,that sounds good. Can I possibly buy shares in this project?" Mira's father asks, hoping to hear positive feed
All the while, Mira's father stayed aside, watching the serious, concise, and yet point-clear conversation unfolding between the two. When they reach an agreement, Christopher pulls out his checkbook, writes the agent a check for two hundred billion, and describes his bank address, which is already on the check for him. He further instructs the agent to take the house documents to the bank for safety."I will give the original documents to the bank manager on your behalf.” Mira's father chips in here, snatching the written check from the agent. "Transfers of such huge property cannot be taken with the hands of levity; don't be silly."."We must see the documents first and then go together to the bank to complete our transaction.""Okay, if that's how you prefer it.” The agent says he is shrugging and picking his phone out of his pocket. He calls the estate office and requests that the sky house's document be delivered to the house location immediately."Okay, sir, I'm on it.” A deep v
In a jiffy, two exotic cars are in full motion towards Princeton Global Bank, with Mister Gabriel's car leading the way. "The restaurant's manager sent a link to their site. We need to pick the services we want." Mr. Gabriel says he clicked on the link to the site, waiting for the site to open while he listened to Christopher. "Let's just have a buffet party with lots of additional food and exotic mocktails.""Okay, that's right," Gabriel says as he opens the five-star restaurant's catalog and begins to click on the products and service options. The bill is accrued at the bottom of the page. "How much will all that cost?" Christopher enquires. "Two hundred thousand dollars." Gabriel replies, trying not to be awed at Christopher's new capacity. "Okay, press send order," Christopher tells Gabriel almost in a command tone, not paying much attention to the screen in Gabriel's hand. He is rather spectating at the sights outside the moving car. "Order successfully placed.” Gabriel c
