Rob got to his apartment tired and weak so he dozed of immediately landing on his bed. He woke up late the next morning despite his alarm clock ringing, reminding him that morning is due but still he couldn't help but get some good sleep.
As he finally woke up,still on the bed he weakly stretched for his phone with his face still faced down,he was indeed tired. It was on a Saturday hence they was no lecture. As he got hold of his phone he saw some notifications so he immediately clicked on the icon and he read through it. It was his secretary,miss Elena,she sent him a message in reply to what he asked him to do. Rob had already forgotten but on seeing the text he was impressed on how efficient his secretary is.
Miss Elena was appointed to Rob against his wish by his uncle,Lois Manik. At the time he grumbled against it,he didn't see the need for that but fast forward to now he was really impressed. Miss Elena was a graduate of Maryland University where she studied Economics.
She was employed by Lois as he then personal secretary but later redirected her to Rob due to outstanding attributes. Elena is a very beautiful lady about 5 feet 10 inches in height,she has a very calm personality but despite this she was still unmarried.
On the text lies the information about Mr Reynold,Rob gave her the assignment before he went to bed. Going through the text he smiled mischievously to himself as he head to the bathroom.
"Aaah!,hmm!Ash!"a weak boy exclaimed in pain as he lies on a bed. "Easy my boy,easy"Mr Jamal Landstein soothed as he pats his back. It have been two weeks since Magi Landstein was admitted into the hospital. He has been unconscious for quite a long time but he had made much recovery as compared to the last time that Jamal paid him a visit.
"Who did this to you son"Jamal asked, looking keen to hear his answer. All his efforts to find who did it has yielded nothing so he decide to wait for the day that Magi will speak up. He was mute as he couldn't actually point out who harmed him but sure he will be able to remember him if he gets sight of him. Magi seemed not to understand how Jamal felt, Jamal had since took the incident personal,he hate it when people harm any of his family,it was like a threat to him. He left with the strict instruction to Magi to keep in touch with him.
"Rrri,Rrrri,Rrri" a phone ranged. "Hello who am I speaking with?"the man asked. He trembled and greeted with respect as he heard the person identify himself as a Manik. It was a surprise to him that a man like him could get a call from a Manik though he was powerful he was nothing compared to them. After the call he called his boys to get ready that they are going to meet someone.
"Mr Bruce"Rob voiced as he brought out a hand to shake him ."Night meeting you Mr Manik"he greeted as he sits down. Mr Bruce is the Godfather and associate of Mr Reynold,he has linked him to a lot of business transactions that yielded serious benefits. Rob wanted Bruce to link him up with Mr Reynold so that he can buy a particular commodity. Mr Bruce wholeheartedly agreed but was warned by Rob not to mention the Manik name to him.
Mr Bruce without waste of time linked the two, introducing Rob as Mr Luther,who wanted to purchase some ancient Greek artifacts. Within two days, Mr Reynold was able to find a seller whose selling price was $200 million. Without much adue Mr Luther sent the money to Mr Reynold Who then sent the money to the seller. Before then the strange had already sent the commodity.
On the eve of Mr Reynold sending the commodity to Mr Luther,the truck containing the commodity was hijacked. "What!,oh shit,no!,no!" Reynold shouted on getting the information from the driver of the truck,he couldn't believe it,a commodity worth more than him was hijacked,it was all over.
After waiting for the whole day Mr Luther called out Mr Reynold to ascertain what could be the problem. He gave him 24 hours to get his commodity or face the consequences. It was like lighting fire on ones head,Mr Reynold was in shambles. He had lost a commodity worth more than him,his little growing empire,"The Middle Man" was only worth $120million.
On the exhaustion of the 24hours,Mr Luther, represented by his lawyer and Mr Bruce met Mr Reynold. "Mr,we are very sorry but we need our money or the commodity we are not leaving here without it" the lawyer claimed."Mr man please just give me time,I will resolve it,the police are in control of the situation "Mr Reynold cried as he plead for more time. He was given extra 24 hours and if the commodity or money is not provided,then the ownership of your company and other assets will be transferred to Mr Luther.
Mr Reynold name was already in the blacklist of every loan giving institutions hence all his efforts to obtain loan was rejected. At the countdown of the 24 hours,all his property and company became Robinson Luther's property. As he signs the paper of transfer of ownership he came across the name of the benefactor bodily written,Mr Robinson Luther,'I must have seen this name somewhere 'he thought to himself as he signs the document with his last strength,he was doomed.
"Please can I meet Mr Luther,who knows he maybe generous enough to borrow me some money "he pleaded. He was given a card that directs him to where he will meet Mr Luther.
"Hi please I will like to see Mr Luther "he asked miss Elena who then directed him to the door like someone who knew about the appointment. "As he entered,he closed the door,he was lost,he couldn't believe his eyes,the guy from the Auction sitting exactly the same he was sitting on the day that he humiliated him. "Sorry,this must be a mistake"he voiced as he made to take his leave but just then he got hold of the name tag bodily written on the table "SIR ROBINSON LUTHER MANIK"the same name he saw on the document that he signed yesterday with the only difference being the Manik name.
It was him this whole time,it was over,"How can I help you?"Rob asked pretending not to know the man. With that question from Rob,he knew at that moment that he was doomed. Rob on the other hand masterminded the whole incident,he was both the seller and the buyer,he was the one that still hijacked the vehicle. The ancient Greek artifacts has been under the possession of his family. 'He made his bed,he must surely be willing to lie on it'he thought as he laughed out loud.
