Chapter 13
Travis’s POV
After I had made the call, I started to dress up for they would soon give me a call back wanting to meet with me.
“Why would you call them?” Zendaya asked in anger. “We agreed to watch them crumble and fall to the ground. We are watching them right now!”
“Zen,” I called to her while she paced around in anger. “Now you have every right to be mad but you have to listen to what I have to say. We can use this to our advantage. We can easily buy their company and rubbish it how we like. Is that not a better plan?
“I mean, they would see their beloved company fall to the ground. It would be more painful to see it.”
She nodded to my plans as she agreed with it. She looked back at the screen to see her mother agree to have an audience with me.
Within seconds, I got a call as my request had been accepted.
“Like you have a choice,” I muttered under my breath before cutting the call.
I exited the room going to my own room to dress into my business suit. Within minutes I was out of the hotel and into my limousine with my assistant beside me.
He talked but I didn’t listen as all I could focus on was winning this thing for Zen.
I got out of the car when we reached the company and was led into the board room which was filled with eager faces.
A chair had been reserved for me and I sat in it with my assistant standing behind me.
“Good day,” I greeted. “You already know why I’m here. Your company is crashing and you need someone to help you hold it up. I’ll buy the shares that have been abandoned and keep the rates up.”
“No,” Zendaya’s mother said to her feet. “We do not want to sell.”
“Look ma’am. I do sympathize with you and your crashing company and that is why I am here to help. If you deny me of this then you have decided that you want to see your company fail.”
“No matter what you say, I am not selling. The Montclair family is not poor and we will never sell!”
I gave off a disappointed sigh before standing to my feet. “Think about it,” I said before leaving the meeting.
I got to my car and nodded to my assistant. “You know what to do.”
He got out of the car as the driver took me to the hotel room.
I did not go to meet Zendaya but I stayed in my room while setting up the spies to leak more information. I had my own charts on my tablet which I watched.
I could see the chaos happening and I knew there was no way they would survive the free fall of their company. It would only take a few more days before their company would not even be worth anything.
Soon they would become bankrupt and need my help and I would be there to give them a very pathetic offer.
I told Zendaya about how the meeting went but she already knew and I watched her rejoice for joy. Returning to my room while leaving her to rejoice, I called my assistant to get the latest news from him.
“They are looking for alternatives sir,” he said to me.
“And have they found any?” I chuckled.
“No. So far they have been unsuccessful. No other investor wants to put their money into the company. They see it as a sinkhole.”
“Good. Now let’s see how tomorrow will be for them.”
I cut the call and laid in my bed with a smile on my face. I was very confident that there was no one who would destroy my plans.

The next morning, I was woken by someone who was manning furiously on my door. I wore my robe to rush to the door, only to open it and find an excited Zendaya.
“Zen? What are you doing here?” I asked in shock as she shrugged past me to get into the room.
“The company has fallen so much that I don’t think they’ll have any choice but to sell,” she said with an excited tone.
“Good,” I smiled. “That was the plan after all.”
We hugged as I felt a slight electrical static between us. We stared into each other’s eyes ready to kiss when my phone rang noisily from the room getting us apart.
“I’ll be in my room,” she said leaving as I cussed at who had broken my intimate moment with her.
“Hello,” I grumbled.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“They are ready to accept your offer,” my assistant said as I smiled.
I had my bath, dressed up and headed for my car which was ready for me.
I entered to see my assistant and my lawyer reading the form to me but I was not interested in that.
We arrived at the meeting and I could see their desperate faces begging me to buy the company.
“So I know your lawyer has already told you what is involved here and…” the woman started to explain as I stopped her mid sentence.
“I’m not buying for the price I originally brought yesterday. The dip in your company value is crazy.”
“How much would you buy it for then?”
I pointed to my lawyer who gave her the numbers, getting her to sigh but agree to my offer.
She signed and I gave my offer to the company, getting the company for a price that I knew was nothing to me.
With a smile on my face, I shook hands with the disgruntled family before walking out of the company victorious.
I headed for the hotel and entered her room to see her sitting on the balcony alone.
“Where are the kids?” I asked with a huge smile on my face which I could not control.
“You’re smiling,” she noticed. “What happened?”
