"Gram! Gram!!"The old woman dropped the novel she was reading and sat up to see her grandson, George, hurrying towards her with his laptop in his hands. "What is it?" She asked as she removed her glasses and set it down on the coffee table next to her chair. "The DnD real estates just posted a new update on their site." He reported, putting his laptop on the table so she could see the screen. "Really? What does it say?""It says that the DnD has gotten a new owner. A man known only as Mr Shay.""What!""Yes. Apparently they signed the deal yesterday."Gram Fallon couldn't believe it. The DnD was a new company but it was still one of the best in the whole city, with a worth of several billions of dollars, and for one man to just buy it like it was nothing, his net worth must be even higher. "Is there a picture of this man on the site?" She questioned eagerly. "Not at all. He wishes for his identity to remain hidden, but gram there's more. The new assistant director of the DnD is Al
★★The first project under a new ownership. The new executive director of the DnD real estates, Mr Shay, has decided to launch the project of a new five star hotel plus restaurant set to begin on the second of next month. However, this project is a unique one because it is open to any business owner interested and he will be choosing not one, but two lucky bidders to work with him on this project. The bidding will commence on the nineteenth of this month and the people selected will be announced on the twenty seventh of this month. Note that the budgeted amount Mr Shay will be investing on this project is three billion dollars, so prepare your proposals well, and get ready to start bidding.★★When Dominic saw the update on their website, he was very impressed. The way Aliya constructed each sentence, and the way she portrayed their mission was really captivating. It was no wonder she was that rich and famous, she was perfect at what she did.He knew that once his wife's family sa
"Are you crazy Ciara?! Why on earth would you allow this maggot to push you into doing something so stupid?!!"Dominic suspected that his mother in -law would have some complains about her daughter deciding to bid for th contract, and when she followed them into their apartment after dinner, his suspicions were confirmed."Don't you know that the reason no one volunteered is because they were worried? Even my mother feared that she was not good enough to approach such a powerful company and yet you stupidly said you would do it. Why? Because this idiot told you he had faith in you?What the hell does faith have to do with this? How is that stupid faith supposed to help you get the contract? Huh? tell me!""Please mother, try to calm down. I can understand your fears, I won't lie to you, even I'm worried. But I just want to try my best, at least getting this contract will be to our advantage, so I don't think I've done anything wrong in trying to help out.""And when you fail? What do
"Well? Have you come up with a way to ensure you get the contract?" Ciara's mother asked as she entered their apartment. "What do you want mother? I'm kind of busy right now.""Busy doing what? Do you think this nonsense is going to help you succeed?""Mother please,""And what about Mr faith, how come I don't see him anywhere?""Dominic went out on an errand, but he'll be back soon. if you don't have the intention of helping, then please come back some other time.""I don't understand why you're so stubborn. First, you won't admit that the decision you took was a stupid one, and now you're actually trying to achieve your impossible dream.""Why don't you even have the slightest faith in me? Is that really how incompetent you think I am?""Oh for the last time Ciara, faith has nothing to do with business! Everyone knows that the DnD is a terrifying company, I mean just imagine the way he banned Tomas like he was nothing. Then there was that staff who was fired too, not only did he l
David wasn't sure he heard her right. No one had ever spoken to him in such manner, if it wasn't for the feelings he had for her, he would have punished Ciara for being so rude to him. "Di- did you just ask me to leave?" He asked, a look of disbelief on his face."She's just joking David, what will she do without you? She's hopeless." Florence tried to cover up her daughter's words, but Ciara didn't give her the chance to. "Mother, I am not a kid anymore and I think I can speak for myself." She shunned her mother, then turned her attention back to David who was starting to frown at her. "Like I said before, I appreciate the kind gesture but I don't need it. Dominic and I are very capable of handling this ourselves. So if that's all, you can take your leave.""How? How are you going to handle it? By writing up a proposal and marching straight to the director's office and demand that he give you a contract? Ciara, business doesn't work that way. Mother, didn't you tell her?""Of cour
"How do I look?""For the hundredth time Ciara, you look perfect." Ciara woke up feeling extremely nervous and jittery. She wanted everything to go perfectly well and to achieve that, she said she needed to look the part. So, she had tried on a dozen of different outfits and no matter what Dominic said, she would just change into another outfit. "You really think so?" She asked, assessing herself in the human sized mirror on her wardrobe door. "Yes, I do.""Okay, or maybe I should just try that grey suit again–""Ciara, you're fine. You look good, and you smell nice too. You're going to be okay, just breathe.""Okay, just breathe, I can do that." Suddenly breathing felt so hard to do. What if her family was right and after all her preparing, she couldn't even get an audience with the director?What was she going to do then?She would never be able to face her family if she were to fail.Almost like he had been reading her mind, Dominic held her shoulders and smiled at her. "Stop wo
After the signing had been completed, Ciara rushed out to tell Dominic about it, though something told her he would have already known. She still couldn't wrap her head around it. The sudden confidence Dominic gained, the way he always seemed so... sure. She recalled that no matter how worried or anxious she felt, it never affected him. Instead, he would just hold her shoulders and tell her it was okay and that she would get the contract. Who was he?"Hey." He said simply as she joined him at the reception."Hey, I got the contract!""Wow, congrats. See, I told you you would." He smiled at her but the smile wasn't nearly as energetic as Ciara expected it to be. Almost like he was faking it. "So, what did the director tell you?"Or maybe she was just overthinking it, she told herself. "Actually I couldn't meet the director, I met with his assistant. Aliya Brynn!""That must have been really exciting, I know how much you like her. ""You have no idea Dominic, I felt like a teenage gir
Dominic stood behind his wife, watching with annoyance as the other members of the Fallon family took turns in insulting her. He understood the reason behind their skepticism, she was able to get the contract way easily than they all expected it to be, but how could they act so cruel towards her? It was very normal for ones cousin's to dislike a person, so he understood Maria's outrageous behavior. But what about George?He was her only brother, and yet he was the one criticizing her the most, and he was also the one inciting their grandmother. It was very easy for the old woman of the family to believe him because he was her favorite. Gram Fallon had never really liked Ciara, and the reason was simple. She wasn't obedient. On normal terms, Ciara was one of the most kind hearted, loyal woman you could ever meet, and she was very obedient… until you started asking her to do things she wasn't comfortable with. Unlike George who would do absolutely anything he was told, even if it
