Everyone around the world was busy celebrating the usher of new era, 2010s. People were hopeful for a better future right after experiencing the subprime mortgage crisis. Different companies were starting to recover. Few that lost the race were gobbled up by others, especially major banks that kept Alastair busy this past year. Samuel still didn't hear from him but at the same time he knew these things take time.
But he was underestimating Alastair's capabilities. He already organized relevant information and launched aggressive M&A with numerous parties, true to his name as the 'Devil' of the financial industry.
Currently he was enjoying a week long vacation with a well known model that he happen to met during his travel in the states. It was his usual gig, if not business it was beauties around the world. He had no intention of settling down!
