The Deal Dilemma Novels & Stories

“You were about to explain something?” He looked nervous, but he cleared his throat and began. “I made a deal... it looked too good to believe. It made us a lot of money. It's the only deal I've ever made without talking to you. I didn't think you'd want me to take it. In fact, I knew you wouldn't. But it's my business so I went ahead with it. However, I couldn't uphold my end of the bargain. I fumbled big time. I couldn't repay what I'd made in the deal because I'd already reallocated the money. They wouldn't take payments or a new negotiation. They threatened to come after you. I told them I'd have authorities involved, but I couldn't. The deal was less than legal. I hoped they'd believe m

“We should slow down and do a sixty-day review.” Everyone around the table agreed with a nod. “Always better to be careful,” Higgins wheezed. Sloane clenched her hands. “We lose our chance if we wait sixty days. The deal is good now, but later the price will rise or they find another buyer.” Nathaniel shrugged. “Then let them. We’ll find another opportunity.” He turned away and smiled at the board. “How’s your grandson, Silas? Still trying for pro golf?”

No one, after hearing of that scandal, had agreed to do business with them, and since they were already heading for bankruptcy, it wasn’t long before they actually went there, and beyond, even when the scandal had passed. “What do you want?” Dawson asked harshly. What Oliver stood to gain from spoiling the only deal that had actually made sense to him, was something he was yet to understand. The man had refused his own offer, and he and his brothers had demanded an arm an a leg. “What do you want, Bernardi. And why the hell would you tamper with the deal I and Vaughn have going on?” He hissed. His wolf alert of their surroundings.

The meeting is about the trillion dollar deal that he had mentioned in the midnight, the same one that made him— "We can't let him have it. He already has everything he could possibly need. I want this deal and I must get it, once I do, I will fulfill my part of the contract so well they will question his integrity..." Daniel stresses, trying to pass a point to Cook and his other officials. The deal seems to mean a lot to him, seeing as his hair keeps falling and he'll return it in place with the same flair as he's using to argue. I tear my eyes away from his face and turn to my phone.

He wore a serious expression as he turned on his computer and plugged the flash drive into it. Unable to tame my curiosity, I moved over to his side as he began scrolling through the contents of the file. My eyes widened at what I saw. Even though he didn't have the same reaction, I could tell that our surprise was shared. The contents of the file were mind-blowing. It contained a list of buyers and sellers, including full details about them and the prices of their previous biddings. The whole information appeared in the form of a trading graph. Lines of different colors rose, fell, and curved in no particular sequence. And from what I could see, the information was being updated frequently.

“Mr. Adrian, honestly, your deals are quite encouraging. It's not that I don’t see the value of your deal. It was great. Honestly, your deal is tempting. But I have two reasons why I don't want to have anything to do with your deal, Mr Adrian.” I paused for a breath, then continued firmly. “Firstly, I was waiting for the right one. I am not saying yours is not the right one but ist not what my heart wants. But for the record, I just signed the most wonderful deal of my life today. It resonates with my heart. It’s fair. It’s solid, and it feels right. I can feel it in my heart that it is the right one for me. Secondly…” I hesitated, my fingers tightening around the phone. “What do you have to

Delora Wright watched Luna intently as she spoke animatedly. She thought she was an excellent girl and was sure she could position her. - So - she began - tell me what position you're interested in. Luna looked at her doubtfully. It seemed like a trick question, was the boss asking her what job she wanted to do? She decided to answer confidently. - I don't know, could you tell me what I can do? Delora smiled.

“You’re thorough, I’ll give you that. But what you’re looking at is just business as usual. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for some of these deals to be structured this way.” I raised an eyebrow. “Such as?” He was silent for a moment, and I could see his mind working, calculating how much to reveal. It was obvious that Granger had a reputation for being a man who could handle a crisis with calculated charm, but I wasn’t easily swayed by appearances. I had seen enough people like him in my time to know when they were hiding something. “Some of the deals are… sensitive,” he finally said. “Business, especially at the level we’re talking about, isn’t always as transparent as you’d like i

“You’re in a contract.” Noah threw his hands up. “Same thing!” For a moment, silence filled the room sharp and tense Then Ethan said quietly, “I’ll double it.” Noah blinked. “What?” “The payment,” Ethan said. “Make it a billion.” Noah stared. “You think money fixes everything?” “It fixes most things.” Noah laughed, short and bitter. “You’re unbelievable.” Ethan stepped closer, voice lower now. “I’m giving you an out. Take the deal, Noah. Walk away rich. Or walk away broke and let my father win.”

someone asked. “They won’t,” I said. “Not at this price. Not with these numbers.” I stopped at the head of the table, hands resting lightly on the polished surface. “We don’t chase deals,” I said quietly. “We control them.” Silence. Heavy. Thick. Then Marcus spoke. “Vote.” Heads turned. Quickly. Uneasily. Hands went up. One by one. Not all. But enough. The deal was paused. Just like that. I sat back down slowly.
