Bab 26: New Boss
Natasha walked out of the building, she was disappointed, now she was back to square one all over again, her sole purpose for coming here was to get something done, and yet she got nothing done at all.
It seemed that she had just wasted this fair Saturday morning of hers, and it really annoyed her.
Natasha walked down the street, she had to find another taxi and go home, she already missed Joy, she could bet that Joy had already woken up by now.
Natasha waited for the traffic light to turn green so she could use the crosswalk to go to the other side, as the cars passed, something caught Natasha's eye, she looked up and she saw a billboard that had an ad on it.
The ad was for a huge farming company that was going bankrupt, and it was already on the verge of collapsing, and it was a dead zone for investors, they wanted nothing to do with the company at all, and their shareholders were already pulling out of the company, calling it a sinking ship, a lost cause.
But there was one thing Natasha knew that not even the most experienced financial experts, business moguls or professors could predict even if they dreamt of it.
What Natasha knew was very vital information, she had seen this happen once before, in her past life the same thing happened to this same company, and every shareholder pulled out as the company was selling shares, but a few months later after that, the company suddenly rose to the top after falling straight to the ground.
It was written as a miracle that the already burning airplane managed to stabilize and fly once again, which was why Natasha was smiling right now, she had the upper hand, and if she was right things should have gone the exact same way that they did in her past life, it seemed like her disappointment paved way for her to see this ad.
The traffic light turned green and Natasha walked over, she was not going home now, she had to go to this company now and try her luck.
Luckily for her, the company's headquarters was located not too far from here, which meant that she could walk over there, it was about a eight minute walk and Natasha went on her way.
...
"Look I am telling you this company is a lost cause" said a woman as she seemed to be talking to someone else.
"I suggest that we both start looking for new jobs, because this business is burnt beyond repair, and I don't know about you, but I need a job, expenses are way too much" said the woman a she seemed to be sorting out some files.
"It is true my friend, so true, I just need to tender me resignation first, because I truly cannot afford to be jobless" said the other woman as she sighed.
"Hello" called Natasha as she walked into the office, but the two woman both seemed to ignore her and they went about with their rantings.
"I tell you nothing, absolutely nothing can save this nonsense" said the woman.
"Excuse me I said Hello" said Natasha.
"Mhmm and so what" said the woman that was busy talking as she snapped at her.
"Can't you see that we are busy having a conversation and you come and interrupt us" said the woman as she eyes Natasha up and down, she thought that maybe she was one of those young girls, because even the way Natasha dressed was casual.
Natasha just looked at the woman and she let her continue saying her nonsense.
"Just who do you think you are??" asked the woman.
"Your new boss" replied Natasha coldly.
"You???" asked the woman as she burst into laughter.
"Oh sweetie, you look way too young to be my boss" said the woman as she laughed.
"Excuse me, I am Mrs. Natasha White, and I have come here to buy your shares, but I can see that the service here is poor" said Natasha as she turned around to walk away.
"Wait, wait" said the woman.
"You are Mrs. White?" asked the woman with wide eyes.
"I do not think that I need to repeat myself" said Natasha as she walked away.
"No wait, wait, please sorry don't go" said the woman as she immediately changed her attitude and she rushed to stop Natasha from going.
She would be a dunce not to know about one of the most influential families in their city, the Whites had a major company, which was why she was shocked of why this woman who claimed to be Mrs. White would come here to buy a failing company.
"Please excuse my behavior, It is early for a Saturday morning" said the woman as she tried to make up an excuse for herself.
"It is only 9am" said Natasha as she looked at the woman.
"Please forgive me, please come and sit, you said that you wanted to buy some shares" said the woman.
Natasha stopped, she would not let the bad behavior of this woman ruin her plan, so she turned around and went to sit down.
The woman rushed to her seat which was right across Natasha's, and the other woman she was busy talking too before had left as soon as she heard the name Mrs. White.
"So what can I do for you Mrs. White?" asked the woman as she smiled, her attitude had made a 360 turn.
"I want to buy your shares" said Natasha as she went straight to the point.
"Okay Mrs. White, how many?" asked the woman as even though she did not want to be here, she still had her job.
The old man who founded this company was fed up, it was said that he was too old to keep up with the changing times, so his company had started to fail, so he had decided to start selling his shares, and he even put them for the lowest price.
"All of them" said Natasha
"All of them??" asked the woman as she was in shock, she was sure that she did not hear Natasha right.
"Yes all of them" repeated Natasha.
"Umm Mrs. White, with all due respect, may I know why you are buying these shares??? this is a failing company after all" said the woman as she wanted to make sure that Natasha was not crazy or something.
"I do not think that my reasons concern you, your Job is to give me what I want, with no questions asked" said Natasha coldly.
"You are right Mrs. White, please excuse me" said the woman as she felt scared of Natasha right now.
"Here are the documents of the share transfer" said the woman as she did her job and brought out a blue folder as she gave it to Natasha.
"Please sign here, here and here" she said as she pointed to the placed Natasha should sign.
Natasha took a black pen from the table and she signed her signature on the document.
"How will you be paying for the shares, cash or credit?" asked the woman as she was now serious in doing her job.
"Credit" said Natasha as she brought out her purse.
She actually did not have any money on her that was worth the shares that she wanted to buy, her eyes moved to her credit card, the one her husband gave her, she did not want to use it for this transaction, she did not want to give him more reasons to despise her by spending his money.
"But I am the Madam after all" said Natasha as she tried to convince herself.
"This is my right, I never forced him to give me this money" she said to herself.
"Yes okay Natasha, we will use the money, I will just return it later" she said as she reassured herself.
Natasha brought out her credit card, and the woman took the card and she put it in a POS terminal that was on the right side of her table.
"The money has been received, Thank you" said the woman as she gave Natasha back her credit card.
"No, Thank you" said Natasha as she smiled, and the woman looked creeped out, her new boss was really scary.
Meanwhile Elsewhere in the city.
A Man could be seen working in a dimly lit room, but there was someone with him.
"Dom, I am bored, I just got back, why don't we go somewhere fun?" asked the woman as she plopped lazily on the couch.
"Lia, I told you that I was busy on the phone, you should have just went straight home" said the man named Dom as he looked up from his table and he looked at the woman.
"But I missed you and I wanted to see you" said the woman named Lia.
"Mhmmm" said Dom as he received a notification on his phone, and he checked it.
"What's wrong?" asked Lia as she saw the changed expression on Dom's face.
"That woman just spent fifty thousand" said Dom as he said it leisurely, he did not care at all, it was just the amount that fazed him, he was sure that this was just another one of her plans to make him pay attention to her, and he was not going to let her win.
"Dom, I told you to just divorce her, why don't you??" asked Lia as Dom put his phone away and she walked closer to him.
"Lia, you know the reason why I cannot do that" said Dom as he looked at her.
"But just leave her, cheat on her, do something else, please" said Lia.
"Why don't we just be together Dom, you know I love you" said Lia as she pleaded with him.
"And you know that I do not love you in that way" said Dom as he removed her hands from his.
"Lia go find someone who will love you, someone who will care for you, and that is not me" said Dom.
"I know how stubborn you are, so I will keep repeating this fact over and over again" said Dom as he laughed.
"You are no fair Dom, you are no fair" said Lia as she pouted and she walked back to her sit.
"Do you want to go out for lunch?" asked Dom as he smiled.
"Yess" replied Lia softly as she was still pouting.
"Alright then, give me a few hours" said Dom as he went back to typing on his laptop.
"Ughhh" said Lia as she groaned, Dom was a serious workaholic.
Meanwhile back in another part of the city.
"Madam when should we be expecting you at the farm?" asked the woman as she walked Natasha off, she was now her boss.
"On Monday" replied Natasha.
"Okay Mrs. White, take care" said the woman as she smiled.
"Mhmmm" said Natasha as she was not moved at all by this woman's hypocritical niceness.
Natasha pulled out her phone from her back pocket and she dialed a number, her phone rang for a few times before it was picked up.
"Hey" said Natasha with a bright smile.
"Can we meet?" she asked.
"Sure, where?" asked the male voice from the other side of the line.
"How about my favourite coffee shop?" asked Natasha.
"Alright then" he said.
"Okay, see you there" said Natasha as she smiled and cut the call.
