2024-12-13 22:33:52After Louis was discharged from the hospital because of his quick recovery, he sought to make the Mayor's wishes come true. Though he had not participated in the competition between companies before, his body could barely contain his subtle excitement to enter.
Queen stood patiently outside the hospital, waiting for her new boss, Mr Louis. They had a lot to go through for Louis to understand his future arena before jumping in without caution. Louis briskly walked straight in her direction, his hands swinging automatically to match his footsteps.
“Good morning sir,” Queen greeted with her head slightly bowed but also managing to stand straight.
“Morning”
“I have prepared your car to take you to the company. I figured you'd want to see it the moment you were discharged” Queen guessed right, for Louis wanted to go straight to business instead of wasting time celebrating his new feats.
“Great, I also want detailed information about most of the companies participating in the competition. It would help me get a solid standing against them,” Louis stated in an austere manner, he planned to keep things official between them rather than let his eyes control him.
Queen gave a quick nod, her eyes showing approval of his immediate curiosity against his opponents. She led him inside a black car that stood out from others in terms of elegance and quality.
Her hands slithered through some high-profile documents she held carefully.
“I'm sure you don't like things being sugar-coated, so I'm just going to be honest. There are bigger companies who play dirty and pick on smaller companies for fun,” she uttered, her voice calmer than usual. It gave Louis the impression that she meant to relay how deadly the competition would be.
Louis snapped his finger and smirked intently. “We have never won this game before, right?” He asked. One thing he loved was tackling challenges and outwitting people in his field.
“No sir, but we always come close to coming out on top, but somehow we are always bested in one way or the other,” Queen replied; she looked away from his gaze, a little bit ashamed at her answers.
“Well, maybe you haven't been playing the game the right way.” Louis crossed his arms, confident about his statement. His posture made it obvious that he couldn't wait to come out on top.
“I don't know how to prove that, but the company's name is enough to strike fear in rival opponents.” Queen stretched out a document for him to look through. Louis hesitated for a second, but her aura whispered how important the documents were.
Louis scanned the document carefully, quite surprised at what he saw. The documents contained the names of companies that entered the game. Companies that surpassed trillions of dollars filled the top numbers, it was like they waited a century for this opportunity.
“I didn't expect them to be this many. What number are we?” Louis asked, his eyes still staring at the document, he looked at it seriously in a manner that suggested he was circling out companies that would pose a problem to him.
She gaped at him and responded quietly so he would not be distracted “One hundred and twenty-four companies have staked their claim so far and we haven't entered yet”
Louis suddenly stopped, his eyes shone with vigor as he clasped his left hand. Queen gasped in surprise at his reaction, she couldn't tell if he was happy at her reply. She lightly pinched herself, prompting her to explain further.
“Mayor Sam suggested we wait for your confirmation before making our entrance public,” her voice longed for a reply from Louis. She couldn't deal with the shady reaction Louis exuded.
“This is very good. I thought you guys had entered already, but this makes it very great for us” Louis gave an approving nod, his smirk widened like a villain with a plan against his enemy.
Queen gaped confusingly at him, tapping her feet silently as she wondered why he felt excited at her reveal.
“I'm sorry, sir, but why do you think it's great for us?” she inquired with her eyebrows slightly raised.
“I'll answer your question but first I need to ask you a question”
“Go on sir”
“The previous times we entered the company college competition, how many times did people know we entered publicly with our official name?” Louis turned towards her, his face eager for a positive answer.
Louis’ question seemed to make her more tense and confused as she swallowed a large gulp of saliva and stealthily bit her lips “Every time we entered, we used our company’s name. It deters other companies from picking on us” she replied, pressing her teeth hard against each other and thought if she had made a wrong move all those while.
“Exactly what I wanted to hear, we can use the late entry to the company college as an advantage” Louis rested his back on the car seat and handed the paper back to his assistant.
She placed the paper back into a brown new envelope and waited for him to give her instructions. She knew Louis liked the late entrance to the company college but she didn't know why. Her eyes filled up with confusion and her lips pressed against each other awkwardly without control.
Louis googled a list of random names on his phone and hissed at most of the results. He kept on scrolling gently with his full focus. He looked for a specific name he would recognize in a whiff.
All this while, Queen just sat there making casual glances at the driver or her envelope. She repeated this action continually until Louis clenched his fingers in approval of his results.
He looked at her with high spirits and gave a command, “We are not entering with our official name. This time, we will do it differently; we'll enter with a secret name.” he snapped his finger as he spoke.
Queen’s expression heavily begged for an explanation for his sudden change in procedure. She wanted clarity as to why he decided to enter with a different name.

“A different name?” she forced out a laugh“Yes, a different name,” Louis replied with certainty; in fact, he had never been more sure of anything in his life than this. He could sense her obvious doubt in his decision which she tried to cloak with a faint smile.“Do you have any problem with what I just said?” He stared at her blankly, giving her room to express herself a little bit.She jumped at the opportunity to spit out all her questions without wasting time. “How would others know we entered the game? This would be a first in history, if we do this, keep in mind that we definitely will be sabotaged and picked on?”She kept on asking without pausing for breath or answers. It seemed new to her and she worried that Louis might end up being the helpless boy they'd pick on without demanding respect.“Easy with the questions, I can only answer the most important, and trust me, I know what I'm doing,” Louis assured, using his hands to gesture that she should take a breath.She apologi

Louis rolled his eyes around the building as he noticed that everyone was waiting for him to give his answers. He muttered a cuss word and clenched his fists behind his back. He was thrown off his feet by their desperation to set a class structure and put him in his place. The sudden calmness in the room made him feel uneasy to answer immediately.“What is this? We got another Mama's boy in our midst” A man echoed from a corner.Everybody bursted out laughing, and the building, which was dead silent, swiftly turned into a hall for the loudest cackle. Louis' heart sank to the floor while he felt the cold welcome of everyone sear his flesh away. He hissed at their childish behavior of making him feel worthless but he knew he wasn't at a place where he would be met with open hands and a warm embrace.Louis shook his head in disapproval and finally spoke up. “ If I wanted to go to a circus, I'd take a train. I don't know why you guys are laughing.” his eyes glared furiously at the people

“Are you talking to me or seeking approval?” James asked rhetorically to piss him off “All these low-class humans, always thirsty for attention” James kept on, firing painful words“Get one thing straight: I'm not dying for your attention; you just keep on itching for drama.” Louis paused to swallow the words that were about to come out next. He shut his mouth and waited for the end of the meeting.“What happened? Cat got your tongue.” James kept making fun. “I thought you were about to flare up..”“Please, can we wait till the end of the meeting?” The old man pleaded with obvious dissatisfaction on his face.James held back on any scandalous comments he had on Louis. He couldn't wait for the meeting to end as he tapped his legs impatiently and stared coldly at Louis.Louis braced himself for what was about to come from James the second they stepped out. He sighed heavily and placed his hands on his forehead. “What's wrong with me? Why am I acting timid around him? Maybe I should str

James rushed over taking huge steps towards him. He flung his arms carelessly, making sure to attract the attention of everybody. Louis shook his head in frustration and disapproval before looking away, hoping James would back off.It didn't work. James steadily advanced closer with a wry smile glued to his face. His eyes failed to lose contact with Louis, and he whispered a few words before halting a few meters away from Louis.“Why so quiet? You seem to be worried about something, maybe about how you miscalculated your budget” James looked around to see if anybody understood his joke and was thrilled by the amount of people that laughed about his joke.“No, I'm quiet because the meeting was awfully long, and I need some time to relax my head,” Louis replied; he raised his voice louder to be heard through the different sounds of laughter that reflected, to his ears.Louis used his eyes to quickly scan the room for Chris but he could not find him. He kept on looking with his eyes at d

Louis delivered a few successful punches to his opponent's face without hesitation. He decided to let out his frustration on him and beat the shit out of James.James struggled to land a hit on Louis but failed. Louis did not let him land any punches on him as he was rather too slow. The fight kept on going until security guards broke them up.James’ eyes spun around with blurry vision as his nose bled profusely; he could barely stand straight. He fought his best to free himself from the grip of the security guards, but they overpowered him. Louis, on the other hand, remained calm when they held him away from James.His heart pounded heavily, causing him to take deep, loud breaths; his fists remained clenched, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack James again and beat him to his satisfaction.“Let me g.. go, you useless fools!” James yelled; his voice was muffled, and people could tell he was out of breath, but that didn't stop him from verbally abusing Louis and threatening h

“Make it quick, I'm coming over”“Yes sir” Louis ended the call and peered through his window to see if James followed him to his car. He laughed when he remembered the beating he gave to James a few minutes ago. With his body relaxed, he realized that his palms hurt a little. They looked very red and Louis wondered if a vein had torn open.“Damn it, I may have punched that guy a little too hard, I'm going to need some ointment”While driving, he thought of what side Chris would be on now that he declined his offer to sell him his company. The thoughts of Chris making him a target, along with others, upset him. He doubted that Chris would remain neutral. All his years of involving himself with business investments, he learned that whenever a deal doesn't go the way wealthy businessmen want, they'd rather sabotage than leave you be.“I need to distract them if I want my identity safe” Louis stated to himself. His fingers danced lightly on his steering, but he still held it with a fir

Queen nodded slowly to his command and turned to leave. She was halfway through the door when Louis called her back.“Hey, Queen” “Yes, master,” she replied eagerly for his statement.Louis lowered his voice almost to a whisper. “Remember to keep it under wraps” He wondered how they were going to keep it subtle enough to make James unaware of their move. Unlike James, Louis bought the whole share of the company of Low Prop, which was one of his failed business investments in the past; when he finally found his golden goose, he acquired everything in his name In case of trouble.“You have no problem, but if we want to keep Mr James from digging around why he can't buy your other company, I suggest we keep him preoccupied,” Queen stated. Though she loved the idea of Louis entering with a different name, she felt it was too risky for her boss. Most of the competitors ripped the morals out of the game-friendly rivalry, and Louis’ refusal to change his full name before entering also wor

Louis laughed it off and made light of the situation. He had never been in a situation that caused him to have guards protecting him.“What am I? The president of this state. This situation is too light to have me suited up like I am the number one most hated man”The statement felt hilarious to him and he felt very obliged to make her less concerned about his safety.“Nobody even knows I'm the boss of a trillion-dollar company, so why draw attention?”Queen made a tired sigh before backing her suggestions with facts” I am sure you know even musicians and actors keep a guard with them whenever they step out”“They do that to repel crazy fans away from them” Louis chimed in hastily to cut her off.Queen inhaled deeply, brushing her hair to the side in one scoop before replying, “My point is, as the owner of this successful company, it Will be very bad if you get jumped or attacked. Rich people don't joke about their safety”“If it's about my safety, I can protect myself. Maybe I will h

Louis' eyes almost bulged out of his eye sockets, his hands tweaked In disgust as his feet vibrated to move away from his position. “Nobody told me Greg was this insensible,” Louis muttered to himself. He couldn't believe the words that just slipped out of his mouth; they were shards of glasses that were waiting to be stepped upon.“Greg,” Louis called out confidently “Please, I want you to understand that I am not forcing anybody to work with me,” he stared intently at him.“What I simply said is, as a new team I thought we would do the collaboration between ourselves. You know, to avoid indecision and make it easier for us as a team,”His words were like darts that launched straight into the scoreboard. It corrected Greg's notion but it wasn't sharp enough to make him utter an apology.“Okay, I've noted it,” Greg uttered, prompting more response from Louis.“This isn't what you should be knowing now, we are supposed to grasp this already,” Silence filled their atmosphere as shame

“I'm guessing you are the third person of this group,” Mrs Kimberly continued “I am whatever you want me to be in this group. The second man, the third member,” Greg leaned close to her ears, but fixing his eyes on Louis “I can even be the master of this team,”She chuckled lightly, flashing her eyes at Louis “Can you call me when it's time for the ultimate showdown,”They kept laughing; Mrs Kimberly appeared to be having a good time with Greg while Greg enjoyed being close to her. Louis got tired of seeing them whisper words to each other. He furrowed his eyebrows and pretended to cough while pointing at the empty seats.“Kimberly, welcome.” Louis voiced “It's good to see you. I don't want to keep you both standing, so can we take a seat,”She exchanged glances at Greg and Louis before walking towards one of the chairs. Greg appeared to be displeased by Louis who sat between them. He signalled to Louis to scoot over to the left chair but the purpose of Louis forming the alliance was

“So when can I get to meet my fellow ally,” she winked at him.“We will be having a meeting tomorrow. I don't know if you'd be available, but it is our first meeting, and it is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10 am."Mrs Kimberly's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded slowly. "I'll be there," she said. "Where are we going to have it?"Louis smiled confidently at her. "I have booked a room at the Drickons Hotel just a few blocks away.”Mrs Kimberly nodded. Her mind raced with the thoughts of who the last person was, but she stopped herself from asking Louis. Instead, she resolved to wait for an official introduction.Moreover, she already decided to look her best when the day comes."I will make sure I arrive before any of you,” she quipped, but her voice lingered with a hint of determination.Louis finished his conversation with her and waited for Mrs Kimberly to ask him any questions that bothered her but she had none for the moment.It was time Louis took his leave after comp

“No, trust me. It is not because of that,” he revealed “Then what? I told you I would like to join, so why are you rejecting me?”“I'm not rejecting you. I just don't want to force you into anything,”“How is that forcing me? Did you plan to hold a gun against my head?” She asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Kimberly, with a blur of desperation in her eyes, leaned forward to Louis “I know you must have heard everything that came out of my mouth, but I am willing to make my first try with you,”He raised a brow at her, skeptical of her forced statement “Why would you do that? I told you already, you don't have to because I'm not forcing you,”Mrs Kimberly inhaled deeply and raised her shoulders “I have seen the huge things you can do as a CEO of a little company like yours. How you raised it to compete at this level, and I can boldly ask you how many of your peers can claim to reach the success you have in such a short time,”“You helped me get my treasured buildings back from th

“She came begging me to collaborate with her,” Mrs Kimberly revealed “Just imagine the imp’s audacity,”Louis couldn't bring himself to tell her that he was here for the same reason. He could not believe that the person whom he had spent hours finding reasons not to add to his alliance hated them. And now it seems Louis needed her to control Greg's mouth.“What human being in their right mind would beg someone they tried to attack in the past? I could have smacked her teeth out but was busy pretending to be cool with her,”Mrs Kimberly rolled her eyes and pointed to the middle of the hall“There's more?” Louis asked, surprised at her decline. She hated alliances with all her bones in her body and she made sure to show Louis.“That man in a white suit,” she said.”Forget about his angelic act. That man is a demon and a lapdog to Chris,” She walked closer to Louis like she was about to whisper, “He came to me and pleaded I work with him, but I declined. I hope he fails this round of the

“So what do you say, Greg?” Louis interrupted his fantasy. “Are you ready to join my alliance?”Greg's eyes burned with desire, he shone his eyes at Louis, nodding his head in quick motion.“Yeah, I will,” he smiled “You gotta introduce me to Mrs Kimberly,” Louis shrugged at his statement. “I hope you know she's married and living happily,” Louis interjected. “Why are you interested in meeting her?” “It's nothing, I just liked her since the day she caught my eye,” Greg said “Those eyes of yours shouldn't be catching anything that has already been claimed,” Louis warned for his good.“These eyes can catch whatever they want, as long as I can afford it,” Greg replied Louis cracked up at his statement, his laughter echoed through the restaurant. He found it amusing that Greg thought he could charm Mrs Kimberly, yet more thinking she couldn't take care of herself. If she demanded a price, Louis could confidently bet a million that Greg would not be able to meet up.“Whatever you say,

Was Mrs Kimberly a good person to associate with? He wondered. Was she worth any trouble? And if he turned out she was actually devious, would he be able to protect her?It also puzzled Louis why he never thought of this; maybe it was his instincts.“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” Louis stated. He decided to add Mrs Kimberly as part of his future alliance. He hoped they would work in his favor and never backstab him.The day went by without Louis making up his mind about his pick for the designs, but he was resolved to decide who would form his alliance.The next day, Louis went to a location to meet up with Greg. It marked the second time he waited for him. Louis subtly prayed for Greg to put any thought of wearing disguises aside. He wasn't in a mood to attract attention, especially when people knew who Greg was.However, to Louis' dismay, there was Greg dressed in casual wear at a five-star restaurant. The address was sent to him an hour after their last call, making

“I told you I need to see our record sale,” Louis stated before she walked out.That was the documents she came to compile early in the morning before she got distracted by the works of their guards. She gnashed her teeth in fear and cooked up an excuse in her head.“Yes, master. I'm on it, I just need to extract the file before sending them to you,”She rushed out before he could reply. She did not want to give him a chance to fish out the threads from her lie.“Extraction!” Louis muttered, wondering if he heard her right. He left her to whatever excuse she gave him and busied himself with a portfolio of designs that was on his table. His company, Twin Tower, recently won an innovation award and was one step ahead of crossing another milestone. Due to this, they planned to do a new branding of their products and they needed his final decision. Those designs had slept on his table for more than three weeks, but he still didn't feel like picking a choice at all.He stared at the diff

She begged for Louis to take her words seriously, to trust her when she said she had handled it to a certain extent.“I can feel the temptation to add this to your cart but you must consider yourself,”Louis stared at Queen, giving her words a thought. Everything sounded like facts to him but he couldn't hold himself from handling his problem. His fingers itched to get busy and his conscience wanted a dismissal of her pleas. However, deep down in his heart, he wanted to see if Queen had what it took to hold true to her words. With a grudge filled heart and a reply that felt like the weight of the world, crumpled upon it, muffling the volume of his voice.“Okay, thank you very much,” Louis uttered.Queen gaped at him, thinking Louis gave her a response to another question. She asked again if Louis would fuss over the situation but Louis gave her the same half-hearted response.“Gosh!” She exclaimed, brushing her hair to the side. “I didn't know you'd agree so easily,”Louis kept silen
