"The mysterious Billionaire, Eric Thomas, makes a deal with Cliffords"
"A secret business deal with billionaires"
"First ever appearance of Real Estate Mogul Eric Thomas with Cliffords"
These were some of the headlines that created news headlines in print and other media. Everyone was curious to know about this mysterious person. So everyone was eager to catch the glimpse of this person on the talk show hosted by veteran Holland of the media.
Uncle Holland holding a talk show after his retirement gave a lot of importance. Everyone was counting the time to watch the show.
As expected Eric Thomas was a handsome gentleman, in his late twenties with a lean tall figure. He looked very attractive in his full black suit and he had his eyes covered with pair of black tinted glasses. A look many girls would die for.
As usual, the talk show went on with a business flow.
"So Ben, can I know why you suddenly wanted to accept Mr.Eric's invitation to build his mega gold residencies?"
"Well, first of all, I was impressed with Mr.Eric from his first discussion. And I was so impressed that he had a lot of understanding and love for all our previous projects. Especially his creative criticism, which led me and my team to collaborate with him,"
"Mr.Eric, so you had been following his work?"
"Yes. I do a bit of a background study and check out some of their iconic work before I approached them. And I have full faith that Mr.Ben and his team will do a great job this time too,"
"Ben, as I know you have your mysterious Diamond, in the house. Do you have any plans to introduce your talent to us?"
"Hmm, when it comes to this regard, you really have to ask my partner, Alex, why he gave that designer such a nickname. And according to the designer, who is under contract had requested to be unknown till it's the right time. So I respect that decision,"
"Mr.Thomas, so you know we recently got to know that Ben and Alex had got married, breaking the heart of many girls. Are you planning on giving us such a surprise?"
Eric looked at me and then said, "Well, I am sorry to break it to you, but I am in the same boat as them," making everyone laugh.
And with some more questions, we concluded the interview.
After the interview, we went straight back to the hotel suite that was booked. and we took extra precautions to be sure that the paparazzi won't be following inside the hotel.
The media went crazy and started to find out more about Eric. But with his character unknown, no one was able to find out more apart from what they already know. But we have to make a story about the drug lord around him to get the gang interested in this deal.
The news was swarming around and many were trying to find more details about him. But they were discouraged after a few attempts as they couldn't find any news. The news about the project was shared among the main new channels to make a buzz and get the attention of the gang.
The next day,
"Eric Thomas, connected to the underground"
"Is he the KING of the underworld?"
"Mysterious Billionaire becomes more MYSTERIOUS"
Were some of the headings posted the next days with photos of Eric leaving a well-known casino house, where drug dealers meet at night. The photos showed that Eric was surrounded by guards with tattoos dressed in black with a luxurious car and escorts with him.
