Lawrence was looking at the financial reports when his friend Joe walked into his office. "Hey man, you need to slow down you are working too much, your secretary just told me that you have not left the office since yesterday." Joe said sitting at the sofa and putting his legs up on the glass table. He knew he was working so much but he had to revive his father's company after it was at the brick of collapsing due to some senior employees taking advantage of his father's illness and stealing from the company.
Lucky for him, he had come back to the country and taken over the company and after investigations; he had noted the problem and fired the corrupt officials. Now he was trying to make it go back to its social glory. They were on top of the entertainment business in the country, but now Mark Times Entertainment (MTE) had taken over for the past six months. However, he was not worried because he knew they will be back to the top. With his international connections and expertise, Blue Journey Media (BJM) will thrive. He smiled as he remembered seeing the video of the heir to MTE engaging in violence. This was going to drop their rankings and it was an opportunity for him to look for better investors.
"Why are you smiling" Joe asked. He looked at his friend who was casually playing with the flowers on the table and shock his head. "Have you seen the video making rounds on social media?" His friend looked at him like he was talking of something outside this earth. You see Joe was an architecture and all he thought about was constructions and new designs he would draw and create. He was the one who designed their building, the new BJM offices and it was a sight to behold, especially during the night. It had helped them to start other businesses such as hosting conferences and other big companies had also rented office space in their building.
Lawrence showed Joe the video, and after he had watched he was laughing so hard. "I bet the media had its field day" He said while still laughing. Joe saw the spark in his friends' eyes and knew that he was going to capitalize on it. "Oh you conniving man, you are going to capitalize on this mistake aren't you?" Joe asked. "You have no idea my friend you have no idea." Lawrence said while imagining how he was going to go about it.
