Chapter 6

Autor: Gleaming Greenery
As soon as Luca returned to the table, one of the shareholders, Adam Smith, pulled out a document and began questioning him. "Why was the clause prohibiting the transfer omitted?"

Vivian reached out to take the document. "I prepared this. I can explain."

Adam held the document firmly against the table, his gaze fixed on Luca. "I'm asking him. You were also the one who stopped Marco from reviewing the agreement earlier. Don't tell me you didn't know what had been left out."

    Elena's POVI ignored Luca's calls, so he sent me message after message.He admitted he shouldn't have promised my warehouses to anyone without my permission or pressured me into signing the agreement. He begged me to give him another chance to meet with him.I turned my phone face down on the table.Kayla asked if I wanted to arrange a meeting.I shook my head. "Continue following up on the outstanding payments and the handover as usual. There's no need to forward any more of his pleas to me."Back when Luca wanted me to sign, he hadn't even let me finish what I had to say.Now, I had no obligation to help him start over.…Over the following weeks, Marino contacted almost every business partner he'd worked with in the past.When Kayla came to update me on the handover, she mentioned that the father and son were still desperate to raise money. They had already put every business unit they could sell on the market.Meanwhile, they were asking creditors for more time and sear

    I agreed to let Marino explain himself in person.The following afternoon, Marino came to see me with a stack of documents. As soon as he sat down, he pushed a signed statement toward me. "We've withdrawn our demand for you to return the dividends. Luca has signed it too."I'll find a way to repay what we owe you. Just give us a few more days. As for the warehouses, could you hold off on taking them back a little longer?"I flipped to the last page and checked Luca's signature. "I'll keep the statement, but the warehouses will still be returned according to the original schedule."Marino immediately leaned forward. "Elena, I came here today to ask you to give us a little more time."Luca was so eager to expand the company that he rushed things. That's how we ended up in this situation."For the sake of our 10 years of friendship, could you give him another chance?"I closed the document and cut him off before he could continue pleading on Luca's behalf, "He was in a hurry to pro

Don't tell me you didn't know what had been left out."Luca pulled out a chair and sat down. "What good will dwelling on this do now? We should be figuring out how to salvage the investment.""We don't even know whether anything you say is true. How are we supposed to come up with a solution when we can't trust you?" Adam said darkly.Another shareholder opened the acquisition reports. "How much profit have the three companies you acquired actually made, and how much debt do they have? Show us the accounts."You even concealed the truth about the warehouses. How ca

    Marco had just lowered his head to read when Luca reached out and pressed his hand against the agreement. "This is the old agreement. We've already drafted a new proposal. Please take a look at this one instead."He slid the transfer agreement across the table, covering the last page of the original contract."The new document doesn't have my signature," I said.Marco looked up, and I met his gaze. "I never agreed to any changes. They're the ones trying to invalidate the original agreement entirely."Luca's fingers tightened around the papers. "Elena, we've already voted on this!""Does your vote override my signature on the agreement?" I asked flatly.Marco reached for the original agreement beneath Luca's hand, but Luca refused to let go. "This is just an internal disagreement over profit distribution. It doesn't affect the project, so there's no need to waste your time on it."Vivian immediately flipped through the project proposal to the page that outlined the profit project

    In the end, they couldn't move the shipment into the warehouses, so they had to find somewhere else to store it at short notice.Soon afterward, the formal meeting notice arrived. The meeting was scheduled for three days later, and I was required to bring the original agreement.…On the day of the meeting, I pushed open the conference room door, and the conversations inside fell silent.Luca sat at the head of the table, with Vivian to his right.An unfamiliar man was also seated at the table. The nameplate in front of him bore the name of an investment company owned by the Moretti family.Vivian pointed to the visitor's seat near the door. "Elena, sit there."Only one document awaited my signature on the small table. I hadn't received any of the fundraising materials provided to the others."We'll ask for your input when we get to the old agreement. You can just listen to the rest of the agenda," Vivian said.Someone beside her chuckled. "If you'd been willing to sit down an

    I asked my assistant, Kayla Moore, to stay behind and take inventory of my belongings while I left the company alone. Meanwhile, I went to a café in a nearby hotel and pulled up the documents I'd photographed the night before.They demanded that I return three years' worth of dividends, relinquish all future earnings, and even hand over my warehouses. Every condition was clearly laid out. All they needed was my signature.…Around noon, Marino called. "Elena, are you alone right now?""If you have something to say, go ahead," I said flatly."I know what happened last night and about the office clearance this morning." He sighed. "They were in the wrong this time. I'll have Vivian compensate you for your damaged belongings."I set down my coffee cup. "Did you call just to pay me off and make this whole business of kicking me out go away?""No. I actually wanted to discuss the warehouses with you." He paused, his tone softening. "Everyone in the company is counting on Luca, and th
