Justin decided to meet up with Langston the next day. He figured he should be fast about it if he needed to have the result he wanted. He would meet up with him at his head quarters. He knew he would be there. He dressed up in a sharp suit, looking like he was going to have a business meeting with Langston. He got to the building in his sports car. He had prepared ahead for this meeting, although Langston is not aware he would be coming to see him. He went through the reception as he was led towards the office of the CEO. When they got there, he was led in and he came face to face with Langston. He was sitting on his big chair.His usual composure was no longer there. His confident persona he usually exudes was no more. He has been stressed lately from the events that have been happening so far. He looked up as Justin came in and slowly approached him with a calculated move.He was surprised but he tried to mask it. “Justin. We finally meet.” He said in a calm manner.Justin took a s
After Justin left the Renox Group Building and Langston made calls for support, which he was rejected, he decided to try one last trick to see if he can save his skin. Justin had barely settled down in his car when as assistant ran to him that Langston would like to see him.Slightly surprised, he followed the assistant back to the office. Once they were in, the assistant turned to leave. Justin stood, looking at Langston as he also looked back at him with a defeated expression. He was still seated on his big chair. He motioned to Justin to have a seat. Justin obliged him.“Justin” He started talking, trying to sound civil as much as possible. “I see that you have truly won but before you make any further moves, I want you to hear me out.”Justin looked at him more as he spoke. He was calm but firm as he replied. “I am all ears Langston but before you say anything, understand that I am not negotiating with you. You can not make demands as you are right now.”“It is not a demand. It is
After defeating Langston and subjugating him, Justin’s Problems were far from over. He overcame one for sure but there was also the pressing need to rebuild all that have been lost during the course of the struggle for supremacy between him and Langston. He need to restore Drogonuv Corporation back to its former allure and position it for better opportunities in the future. His attention is now focused on reforms that will be implemented to make this happen and also protect their interest against possible future threats.To make this happen, he started arranging some strategic meetings with the board members in the company to access the damage and discuss the plan for the reforms. In one of the meetings, Justin sat at the head of the table as he address those gathered around him. “Well, I am sure you are all aware of what we have been through in the past few weeks and right now, things have shifted finally back to our favour and we need to stabilize the company and restore its former
During the reforms at the company which was painstakingly carried out to make sure it is effective, another person that was also undergoing some form of transformation was Justin’s classmate, Robert Unnuf. Over the past few months he had spent with Justin, he had moved from a timid and self doubting man to a very confident person. His experiences with Justin had changed his outlook on life and have inspired him to start thinking for himself and how he should create a name for himself.He had reflected on his life so far especially since he reconnected with Justin and how he had changed due to the intervention of his friend. He had been blessed with so many lessons from Justin as he witnessed first hand how he deals with issues of corruption. It left an indelible mark on him. He had decided to take a bold step with his life, he would start a business of his own.He did not want to just start a business for financial benefit, he wanted to be able to be impact in his own way and fight co
In the days that followed after Robert had left to start his business, Justin was in his office at the company, seated and calm as he thought about every thing that have happened so far. He had restored calm and normalcy to the company after the intense power struggle with Langston. It was so successful that his friend was inspired to go start a thing for himself. He felt good about every thing. He was still thinking when Jolce came into his office.He looked up as she came in and she walked closer to him. She looked at him lovingly as she takes a seat beside the big desk in the office. “How are you baby? You seems preoccupied with your thoughts. Do you want to share?”Justin took a deep breath before answering. He leaned forward on the big desk. “It is incredible how far we have come. What we have been through , the threats we have survived and most importantly, our victory over everything. It feels surreal.”Jolce smiled and nodded as she also thought about what they had been throu
After awhile that Robert had left to start his own business and everything had returned to normalcy in the Company, Justin decided to stay a little while to oversee things before leaving back for the states. He could have left earlier and put Robert in charge but it also feels good to see that his friend is taking steps to better his life. With that being settled, he settled into the role of the CEO of the company properly and as expected, started getting invitations to high class events. He decided to honor one of the numerous invites and attend it. When he got to the venue, he keeps a low profile as he causally blended with the crowd, taking notes of the faces, hoping to see anyone familiar.Compared to the flashy suits around him, Justin was dressed rather modestly. He held a drink in his hand, sipping it as he looked around. This is a gathering of the city’s elites and he could glean some information about other people from occasions like this. His influence had earned him the inv
Justin was still engaged in the conversation with the tall businessman, Mr. Hawke, who seems to be boasting about what he had done and achieved.He had shared more than he should have ideally shared in a conversation with someone he had just met. Justin could not tell if it was the confidence that is accustomed to being successful or the alcohol that made him talk that much. He had let his guard down. As Justin continued to ask question, Hawke provided answers to them in a manner that seems like bragging.“You see, in this city, you might own assets and businesses but without the right power, that is nothing. With a single phone call, I have made several companies go out of business. That what you call a real power.”Justin nodded but he was not actually intrigued by his show of arrogance, it was the mention of power that interested him.“Seems you do have a good network of people in high places.” Justin said. “It must be really hard being your competitor.”Hawke had a smirk on his f
As Justin mingled with the crowd, he found a spot and stood there. He had played along with Hawke and didn’t try to reveal his identity as the person he was referring to earlier as the power that controls all in the city. He chuckled at the thought that Hawke was hoping to meet the mysterious man who wields a lot of control and wants to be in his good will, the same person who was him.He wondered if the evening could get any stranger. He had only came here out of politeness and did not expect to run into someone who wishes to meet him and be in his good books, not knowing he had already met him but had no idea. From the corner where he stood, he thought more about him. He assessed the kind of man Hawke could be. It is obvious that his business runs on the suffering of others. He usually manipulate events that would lead to the folding up of smaller companies in the same line of business as his and making the market focus on his products alone.Hawke was still mingling with the othe
