The expression on their face changed immediately after Donovan had walked out of the door, what he just said had struck them at their nerve, it is a question that they have been avoiding to ask themselves. The harsh reality that they will face, if the Babylon industries is being sold, there is a high likelihood that the Gilgamesh will fall apart, most of them will all go their separate ways. The new management that will take over will likely kick most of them off their position because they got it out of favoritism, they are people who are far better than them out there, who would want a mediocre worker at an exclusive position at his company. The people who mostly have this thoughts are those who are below in the hierarchy level of the family, those who are at the top are those who have worked hard and crawled their way up there, they are mostly made up of geniuses who pump in more income and made more profits at whatever position they were being told to head. Some of the people b
Jo parked his car in the parking spot in front of the Penfolds industries headquarters, he got off his car, there wasn’t any sign of nervousness or fear on his face.This wasn’t his first time going to top organizations, though, so he expects it to be the same as the others but a part of he could feel a part of him telling him that there is a chance that there will be a difference, but he couldn’t tell what it was going to be, he couldn’t tell if the difference might be a slight one, a calm one or a very wide one in fact. This thought slowly builds up the nervousness that he was trying hard not to feel at all, he still tried to act composed as much as he could with an atom of doubt dwelling at the bottom of his heart that once he pushes the door open, he will come crashing down on his knees. His body moved of their own accord and went straight to the door, his hands pushing it open little by little till it was fully opened and he stepped into the building hoping to fall or exactly l
Robert stared out through his window, a smile played at his lips, it had been long he stood here and have a nice view like this last. He felt a bit calm, staring at the clouds that slowly floated under the sky and the bright sun that sat magnificently in the middle of the sky.A knock on his door drew him out of his thoughts, he turned back to see who it was. The door was slightly pushed open and his secretary walked in, “Sir, the journalist is here” she said with a slight bow of her head. “Let her in” Robert nodded his head and turned his face back to what he was staring at, the journalist had been begging for just an interview with Robert, she was aiming to be the first person to ever had an interview with him and to ever hear about his story straight from his mouth. Robert heard the sound of the door being pushed open and the sound of it being slowly closed, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps. The sound of the footsteps stopped, Robert could tell that she was sta
“Thank you for this interview with me sir, I am very grateful for this” Caroline said with a slight bow and stood up off the chair with a fulfilled smile on her face. “You are welcome Caroline, I am rooting for you to claim the number one spot among the journalists in no time” Robert said with a thumbs up. “I will sir and when I do, I will like to have another interview with you then” she said and walked out of the door. “Phew! Who knows interviews can be so stressing like this?” Robert threw his head backwards on the chair, he let out a deep sigh and stretched his hand to open his drawer and he saw his packet of cigarette lying there with a lighter with a couple of some things. He stared at it for a while, contemplating whether to take it out or not, after a while he shut the drawer back and flattened his lips, opening the other drawer, he pulled it open and picked out one of the candies lying there, he tore open the nylon and put it in his mouth. He is trying to reduce his int
“There are only two options here and you have the opportunity to choose whichever one you want” Antonio began.The Gilgamesh family gathered again together to have another meeting which makes it their second one in just a brief moment and this meeting was just to finalize on the issue that they have all been given time to think about. “The first one is the complete sale of the Babylon industries and the second one is just selling the seventy percent of it and keeping hold of the remaining thirty percent” He threw the options to them. Jo was the first one to stand up and give his answer, “I believe that selling off the Babylon industries completely, the whole hundred percent of it and we split the money made from the sake among the rest of the whole family according to the rule that we have in our law book, if you think properly, that is the best option for this family” Jo stated before having his seat. The whole hall fell silent seeing the choice that Jo had picked, no one had expe
The rest of the family were influenced by Jo’s speech and slowly the tables were overturned just like how Jo had wanted, only a couple people more voted in the favor of the company still maintaining thirty percent of the company but it was not enough against the vast number of people who voted from the top half of the hierarchy to prove that what Jo had just said wasn’t true. Jo smiled as he saw that the votes was drawing to its end and it was just as he had wanted, those greedy bastards flip had been switched that they even forgot to think rationally before taking action and making a very stupid move that they wouldn’t have done on a normal day, there is no way that the votes can be overturned now. Everything had gone just how he had wanted, Silver not being able to sit back and watch Jo blab on and on was what Jo had envisioned to happen and Silver making a decision that he is very sure of and this decision had an extremely large chance of influencing the rest of the people who a
“What do you mean by you want to put a full stop? I still don’t get it” Liam turned to face him, “Why the sudden change?” he asked. “Oh! We have made quite the fortune man, what else do we need? Asking for anything more than this is greediness, I want to just focus on Penfolds industries” Robert said, his mind had been made up already and Liam knows that there is no way he is going to be successful changing his mind this time. “I don’t mean that I am not going to enlarge my empire but bringing down some of those rich bastards is what I want to stop, I have to leave them to the law and focus on only my wife and my empire”Liam let out a deep sigh there is no use arguing this any further again, “anything you say boss” he answered with a yawn and stared at his sister that was lying on the bed. Robert stood up from the chair he was sitting on, he bent his head down to look at Liam who was still seating on the chair. “I’ll be leaving after the complete takeover of Babylon for a while,
Deep in a casino building, a couple of men dressed in suit sat round a table and were playing cards, the men age varies and was within the age of fifties and above. The aura in that place alone is so overwhelming and intimidating, no one dare to even near there at all, except the bodyguard that was standing behind each of them. “I am betting half of all this chips” Gideon, the one who seemed to be the youngest among all of them said and pushed all his chips forward to the center of the huge table.“OH! See this young man” Colt, another one among them said with a slight chuckle and pushed half of his chips to the middle also and then the rest followed suit.“You sure about this Gideon?” Dennis, one of them sitting around the table asked with a smirk on his face, his elbow was placed on the table with his hands placed under his chin. He looked just a few years older than Gideon. Gideon couldn’t tell what the smirk on his face was about and he didn’t seem to care much about it, “Yes, I
