Michael Moscovitz Novels & Stories

The officer inquired. Jasper sighed as he peered at the officer's name tag. “Officer Sutton, I'm an upstanding citizen, a rising pillar of my community and a successful name in the tech industry. My name is Jasper Mason and I'm the CEO of Maksoft Technology Company. You can run a quick internet search to verify this information.” Jasper explained slowly and confidently.

"You caught me by surprise. Just for a moment, I thought you were my wife, and I know she´s not here today. There is a striking resemblance." My Master says, "Charlotte, Michael, can I introduce Richard Haswell, founder and CEO of the Haswell Corporation." I reach to shake his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr Haswell." He takes my hand, shaking it briskly. Richard Haswell is a handsome man, strikingly so. But more than that, he has an air about him, carrying himself with poise. He reeks of power and authority. And this is his project...

Old Master Tate snorted. Bennett laughed. “Why, should he stay here and listen to you continue degrading his family before Sal?” After all, the Moses family was the most powerful in A City. They owned the largest corporation in A City, Moses Corporation. And yet, Old Master Tate had humiliated every last person in Moses Corporation. He had insulted the chairman, the managing director, and the chairman of the board as well as their family members. Bennett said, “If I were Elijah, I would escape the house too.”

I ask Luke because I’m so certain that we have met before. Luke bursts into laughing. Why is he laughing at me? Did I say something funny? “And why is a high school kid asking me if we have met before?” Luke asks me ironically. There’s no need to be rude. I just want to know who he is. Is he so important that I cannot ask who he is? “Ignore him. My father owns the biggest ranch, and my family runs it. We sell organic beef and other stuff. Even livestock.” Justin explains to me.

Mike had no idea that I had already set a trap for Mike and MacTech. I got an invitation to lunch with Stephen Mac, the CEO of MacTech at a restaurant. Stephen Mac was thirty-two years old and really well known in the tech world for being smart and a bit crazy. Stephen Mac was the kind of person who made you respect him and fear him at the time. I went to the restaurant dressed in a business suit looking like the Vane heiress to talk business about MacTech.

Some men loved to do that because they were a bunch of sick rapists. Hazel tried to look away thinking I was not going to approach her but if she thought that, she had another thing coming. “Alonzo,” I greeted. The man looked at me and smiled. His yellow teeth looked disgusting. I almost wanted to knock them out. Why would a rich man like him not invest in veneers? Maybe he enjoyed turning people off. “Markos—” “How much for your date?” I asked. Hazel’s eyes widened and she shook her head.

I extended a hand to him, and shaking my hand, he smirked at me, watching as Natasha took a step back. “Alpha Nathan Kozlov. You really are a man of business. I can see that your place seems to bring in more people with each passing day” he said, looking at Natasha who bit her bottom lip as she smiled. I knew that it disgusted her to act this way, but she also knew her job and duty well, and it was one of the main reasons why she was the ONLY one qualified for this job and no one else.

I waited until the door closed before diving into the list. Names blurred together, CEOs, venture capitalists, socialites, but one stood out. Richard Hawthorne, a reclusive billionaire known for his selective investments in tech startups. I’ve heard about him. If anyone could replace Vandross and Zane, it was him. I circled his name in red ink. I’d visit his office first thing tomorrow.

The man hastily expressed his gratitude. Harrison ended the call and instantly called Zuckerberg next. In just over a decade, Mark Zuckerberg had risen to prominence like a dark horse, practically becoming the financial titan of Wall Street's favored "prodigal son". The venture capital fund backed by the Rothschild family was itself a shareholder in Mark's company. A few years ago, out of admiration for this young upstart, Harrison had personally met with him. During their meeting, Mark was exceptionally humble and well-mannered, leaving Harrison with a favorable impression.
