Chapter 5 Five

TWO YEARS LATER

"So what exactly do you have for us President Athaliah?" the straight-faced man asked, narrowing his eyes in displeasure and Athaliah swallowed quietly.

"What I am saying President Kane is that you won't lose in this deal, you could even gain more. According to our current market research and trends, we are looking at increasing our scope and bringing in other investors from other cities" she replied in a firm voice releasing the breadth she didn't notice she was holding seeing the affirmative head nods of the other investors.

But the head nods of the other investors didn't matter, she needed President Kane to agree to invest if she wanted the rest to invest. She watched as the older man adjusted himself on the chair, placing his palms on the table. She couldn't help but notice that he had rather big palms, they were almost like his business.

"Okay, Madam President, I love your confidence so I'll invest and my company would also invest" Kane finally opened his mouth plastering a grin on his face and Athaliah almost thought the frown on his face earlier was her seeing things. But his reply surprised her more.

"You are going to be investing as two separate entities?" she asked in surprise and Kane nodded his head affirmatively, "You sound so confident about making the money, I also want a bite of the money" he replied and Athaliah immediately schooled her expression, trying not to show he4r immense excitement. It was already more than what she was expecting.

"President Athaliah, I would like to invest in my name and my company's name" the investor to her right announced.

"Me too"

"Me too"

"Please let's calm down. My secretary would drop the initial drafts for you to see now and we would like to know if any adjustments should be made" Athaliah cut the clamoring investors shut while trying to desperately hide the already blossoming smile on her face. She raised her head and nodded to her secretary who immediately started passing out the banded documents with her. Unlike her boss; she had a fully fledged smile on her face.

Athaliah folded her arms with a smile watching as the investors lined out and got into their cars. Her benefits today were far more than she expected, it was great progress. A knock on the door brought her out of her reverie and she immediately turned away from the glass window.

"Come in," she said and the door opened revealing her secretary with a huge smile on her face.

"What side of the bed did you wake up on today?" she asked and Athaliah's lips pulled apart in a broad smile, "the good side obviously" she replied and her secretary chuckled.

"I agree because I still find it hard to believe that President Kane agreed just like that. Because he agreed to invest as two different entities, more than half of the investors also want to do the same. "He was frowning as if he was going to storm out of the room any moment," she said, shaking her head, as Athaliah laughed.

"Scared me for a moment too."

"But it seems as though we are on a streak of luck because President Collins's secretary just called to inform me that an appointment has been set for you in two days. "It appears that President Collins has given our proposal serious consideration," she announced, and Athaliah slowly nodded her head.

"Two days?" she asked and her secretary nodded her head again. "Yes. If what his secretary said was correct, we would be able to rely on the funds as capital for the project, not President Kane's," she added, and Athaliah agreed.

"Please give me a minute," she said, stepping out of the office.

Athaliah stared at the beautifully designed mahogany table in front of her and swirled her car backward to drink in the view behind her office.

She had moved cities without thinking much. She had not decided what she was going to do. So her first two months in a new city were spent looking for a comfortable place to live, getting to know the streets, and deciding what she wanted to do. At the end of the day, she decided to do what she had always wanted to do: start a jewelry business.

With the help of a project manager that she outsourced, she was able to make concrete plans for her business and soon bought a floor in a high-rise building. She quickly recruited designers and a marketing team for her company. Luck smiled at her as their first batch of jewelry was sold out in less than a week.

The marketing team got to work within less than three months of opening; everyone knew there was a new jewelry company in the city. Their sales increased from meager to steady, and they became profitable. Athaliah could almost swear that Callum had an idea of what she was going to do and that was why he gave her such a ridiculous amount of money that could sustain the business and pay her workers even when they weren't making profits.

Two years later, her business had slowly gained traction and popularity, but the alimony was gradually running out. She and her team had several meetings and finally came up with a project that could sustain the company for at least ten years. Finding investors was important, so the work had fallen on her to find them, and luck had smiled on her once more, but they were not enough, so she had reached out to other companies outside the city, never expecting to hear back.

"I have just booked your flight and I've forwarded the details to you." Her secretary interrupted her thoughts as she walked back inside. "Your flight is on Thursday at 11am"

"Thank you," Athaliah replied slowly and her secretary paused. "You suddenly sound unhappy," she commented and Athaliah managed a smile. "Is there any reason for me to be unhappy?" she asked, pulling her chair towards her computer.

She was going back for the first time in two years.
