"You can say that when it comes to the show business this two companies are the top dogs in over 20 countries and they constantly overtake new markets with their award winning film productions and outstanding talents, as well as their collection of the most priced artworks they also have quite a number of outstanding artists,"
"This list is inclusive of the famed little flame-Iva whose artworks have remained the most sought after ever since his debut when he was just 10, I believe if we work with them, breaking into the African market will be a smooth sailing endeavor." The manager of Blade Arts and Entertainments said, Kalen pondered over his words even as another manager raised a question."For Akunna Entertainment, they have been prominent in the film industry for years and are one of the world leading entertainment companies...Akunna corporation in itself is quite a good choice for partnership however Akunna corporation never delved in artworks, not until a few years back... ""I completely agree with the previous options but will working with Iva's flame Art media who has only been in the market for seven years be a good idea?" The manager for Blade Energies inquired."Indeed they have been in the art market for just seven years however in those short seven years they have been able to surpass all related companies in Africa and a lot in other parts of the world,""They also have signed numerous talented artists whose artworks they possess sole rights over, no other company is able to acquire or trade on artworks from this artists as they are all completely loyal to their mother agency- Iva's flame Art media.""Each of these artists boast of two or more art awards, among these artists there are outstanding names like 'Kenji Davies' the award winning Japanese artist who boasts of 5 awards, numerous nominations and counting."" Alessandro and Maximillano Roman the twin award winning artists both bagged seven awards, numerous nominations and counting.""And most importantly Vin, popularly known as little flame-Iva, the 17 year old artist crowned the Art God, he has to his name an outstanding four future generation art prizes, one Hugo boss prize and one Mac Arthur fellowship award...at just 17!"" This outstanding young talent is already at the number 10 in world top artists and no 1 art prodigy and young talent... again at just 17, these artists were all scouted by and are under the management of Iva's flame and has adamantly refused numerous offers from every other company...this alone boasts of the capabilities of Iva's flame, and if that isn't enough, well.... knowing the standards of Akunna corporation, anything relating to them should naturally be outstanding, as a subsidiary company of Akunna corporation, Iva's flame will certainly make a good partner." The manager concluded firmly.Kalen nodded slightly in approval, and everyone could see the joy on the manager's face.Getting a nod from Kalen was practically as difficult as fetching water with a sieve, getting any reaction from Kalen in fact, so a nod of his meant more than a thousand commendations.Kalen clapped twice adding to the manager's joy, his briefing was satisfactory to Kalen, he had truly done his researchKalen nodded slightly in approval, and everyone could see the joy on the manager's face.Getting a nod from Kalen was practically as difficult as fetching water with a sieve, getting any reaction from Kalen in fact, so a nod of his meant more than a thousand commendations.Kalen clapped twice adding to the manager's joy, his briefing was satisfactory to Kalen, he had truly done his research."Have you decided on how to go about acquiring the partnership of Akunna corporation?" Kalen asked him and the manager nodded."Their headquarters is in the city of Lagos, Nigeria. I was thinking we send a delegate for the discussion, after informing him of our intentions of course, going in person to discuss it will show our sincerity." The manager suggested."Akunna corporation... I have heard of this company, however the lines of business we have in common are few. Ike Akunna, I believe that should be the name of the president..
"Alpha, Alpha Greg has arrived." Wren thought to Kalen, Kalen shut the pack file on his desk and looked up at the alphas of the branch packs of dark moon sitting in his office."The state of your finances are relatively okay, but for dark moon, okay is just not good enough. I want a 30% increase in your annual income before the year runs out." Kalen said in his usual monotone, the branch alphas exchanged glances at Kalen's words."What? You can't do it?, 50% increase before the year runs out, if you cannot achieve this, you can hand over your position as Alpha immediately." Kalen dismissed coldly.The branch alphas winced but knowing anymore words would be useless, they swallowed down their reluctance and bowed in acceptance of Kalen's orders, rising to their feet and leaving Kalen's office quietly.Kalen calmed his anger at their incompetence, it was clear they could do better, they had all the resources and the skills, they just couldn't be bothered to do bette
Kalen glared at Greg before throwing a file at him.Greg caught the file and opened it and his eyes widened in surprise."Really? You're giving me this?" Greg asked in shock, Kalen scoffed in response."With much reluctance, yes. Sign that and blue moon constructions will be merged with blade constructions and you will be in charge of the combined companies." Kalen explained."Now I'm aware construction is your speciality but blue moon is not receiving the recognition it deserves. Under your management I expect an increase in the income of blade constructions by 30% and with our popularity blue moon will also have a lot more projects and will in turn experience an increase." Kalen said, Greg nodded, a huge smile on his face."30% increase? I can handle that, what percentage is blue moon to give blade corporation annually?" Greg asked."Nothing, as long as the income of blade construction increases under your leadership, I won't request anything from blu
~Miwa's POV~I walked through the dark forest, I was surrounded by thick fog, I could barely see ahead of me, I spun around trying to figure out where I was and how I could get out of here.'where on God's green earth is this?' I wondered aloud as I moved forward blindly, I walked for a reasonable distance before sighing and lowering myself to a seating position in tiredness, pulling my knees up to my chest, I lay my head on my knees and shut my eyes, contemplating giving up and just waiting right here for whatever was going to happen, but a strange feeling tugged at my heart, pulling me to move in a particular direction.'why do I feel this way' I pondered, rubbing my chest to ease the uncomfortable feeling, I was unable to ignore it and ended up following it as I began my search through the thick jungle once again.I sighted a silhouette some distance away from me , it's back turned to me and breathed a sigh of relief, at least someone was here.
You should go and have a talk with him, with how close we're standing, we wouldn't want the headlines tomorrow to be about young miss Akunna and her personal bodyguards secret affair, I'll head back first." I told him, he chuckled but swiftly left to do as I said, knowing my words were a high possibility, the paparazzi just loved scandals and what was more scandalous than a 17 year old rich Lagosian in a relationship with her body guard.I broke into a sprint as I headed back home, I nodded to the gate guard again as I jogged in, I took off my mask and hood, my lips stretched into a huge smile as I sighted who awaited me at the mansions' doors."Deji!, You haven't left for work yet?" I asked my brother who stood casually in front of me, wearing a casual sweater and black jeans, he handed me a water bottle and I grinned, quickly drinking it, I frowned, pulling a face as I tasted the contents of the bottle, I flashed Deji a hateful glare and he chuckled lowly."De
~Kalen's POV~I dodged Wren's attack, spinning back and throwing a kick at him, he stumbled back from the force and was unable to recover before I delivered another solid punch to his jaws, he groaned, dodging my next attack and swinging a fist at me, I didn't move away this time, catching the fist instead and spinning him around, I wrapped my arm around his neck in a painful headlock, he struggled for a while but soon tapped out."Damn it Kalen, enough training for today already!" He said tiredly, I frowned slightly at him but didn't say anything, grabbing a water bottle from the table and gulping down the contents."You've gotten rusty Wren, I haven't been paying attention to you so you neglected training?" I asked him in my usual cold tone, he sighed, putting down his bottle and running a hand through his hair."It's not that.... just that, I've been so busy pacifying the pack...." He trailed off when he noticed the look on my face, unsure if he c
"... when you're this stupid... you should naturally have a friend like Aiden who dares speak up for you.... even putting his life on the line like this.... You have yet to report to me on the results of your mission Aiden, see me after this.... don't worry, I won't kill you ....yet." I said calmly when I noticed he wasn't breathing, Aiden audibly sighed in relief and gave me a grateful smile, nodding before turning and glaring at the still furious youth... some people truly didn't know what was good for them.Wren's thoughts: Aiden really became daring, speaking on behalf of someone when the Alpha is like that...I could hardly even breath!Aiden's thoughts: OMG, I practically saw my life flashing before my eyes, how did I befriend such a dummy, could have gotten us both killed....I'm too handsome to die young, but then again...Kalen loves me too much....he couldn't possibly live without me... hehehehe.'Whatever it is you're thinking right now will get you killed, wi
Kalen's POV~My cold gaze slowly moved across the gathered wolves again, they all seemed to be having conflicting thoughts."Regarding the issue of my mate...I will not tolerate any further interference." I stated clearly, they bowed in unison and I nodded."Now moving unto other matters...is there any other issue the pack wishes to raise?" I asked, the clearing was quiet for a while before a voice sounded out."There is, that is if the Alpha feels it is now my turn to speak." The young wolf from before said sarcastically, I raised a brow, resting my gaze on him as he stepped forward."Within a wolf pack...the Alpha should naturally be the strongest wolf, however it has been years since our Alpha last shifted, it has me wondering if the rumors that our Alpha has lost his wolf side are true...." The young wolf trailed off and silent murmurings began spreading through the clearing, my gaze darkened slightly as I understood his intentions, I wasn't surpri
