Debbie wants Curtis' shares, you'll have to give them up too. So my term is after you take over the Loftus Group you'll have to make my wife its biggest shareholder."
Debbie and Decker Looked at each other in shock and were taken aback by what Carlos had suggested.
Decker protested, "Once you two get remarried, what's Debbie's is yours. That means the Loftus Group will be yours too. Carlos, you're very clever."
Carlos sneered, "Do you really think that I give a damn about the
Loftus Group?" Many of the mere branches of the Hilton Group were bigger than the Loftus Group.
Decker thought for a moment and realized he had no choice.
"Fine! But you'll have to promise me something too."
"No," Carlos rebuffed before even hearing him out.
Decker was furious and couldn't stand it any longer. He turned to
Debbie and gave her an ultimatum.
"You'll have to choose. Me or this stranger?"
*Stranger?
Debbie blinked at him in disbelief, though she decided to have some fun by annoying Carlos.
"Of course I'll choose you, my brother.”
Decker wore a satisfied smile and looked at the now sullen Carlos.
"Carlos, will you agree to my term now or not?" he asked with a sinister smile. His words were full of menace. It was as if he was threatening Carlos that he would marry Debbie off to another man if he dared
refuse him.
The two men regarded each other, exchanging cold glares. Then Carlos slowly turned to Debbie and asked, "Honey, what do you say?"
Debbie was planning on toying with Carlos, but when he asked for her opinion, she suddenly felt guilty and couldn't go against him. She giggled and then leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Don't be hard on him.
Decker is our brother."
'Our brother...' Carlos' mood had instantly changed, and the coldness lifted from his features.
"Sure!" he said to Decker in a cheerful tone.
Decker nodded and began, "Lend me some of your most talented men. Once
I take over the Loftus Group, I'll return them."
Even though Decker was a big shot in Alorith now, taking over a group was no small task and was complicated. He knew that he couldn't do it alone. Carlos could do it, but even he might find it difficult.
A skilled employee could contribute substantially to an enterprise. Now
Decker was asking for more than one skilled employee. Carlos had to think about it.
