Chapter 3: 02. Money Is Everything

Los Angeles's weather is one of the best weather anyone can find in the USA. It's neither very hot nor very cold. However, today's scenario is different as things are very tense in the Bianchi Mansion. Because today is a very important day for the owner of the mansion as he is going to sign one of the biggest deal of his life. So everyone is trying to do their best to make their works perfect as they don't want to face any wrath of their boss.

Alessandro Bianchi is a man of few words. He is a ruthless man when it comes to his business so you can guess how he will react if he finds any mistakes in his employee's works. He is a very punctual person in nature who wants everything to be perfect. No one can afford to do any mistakes because for Alessandro, every minute of his life is compared to a million. He doesn't even need an alarm clock to wake him up in the morning. He never misses his workouts as he likes to keep him healthy and fit.

As usual, like every day he has woken up at 5 AM and goes jogging along with his bodyguard Samuel. Samuel is also a very close friend of Alessandro and one of the rare people who has been able to get his trust. After half an hour of jogging, they have come back to the mansion to get ready for the day. Alessandro likes his privacy so no one is allowed to enter his room except the cleaning process.

But there are some special members in the house that have no problem with entering his room whenever they want. They are none other than his furry babies who can lit up his mood in a second. So when he enters his room he sees that his children are sitting on his bed as if they are guarding the room from any harm. He moves towards them and ruffles their fur while greeting them good morning. He has no one to call a family as he was raised in an orphanage in Italy so these dogs are his family and they live a lavish life in the mansion. After playing with the dogs for some time he goes to the en- suite bathroom to have his shower. After showering he gets ready for the meeting that would be held in the mansion. He wears a light grey Navy check 3 piece suit with shiny black-toe patent leather oxford shoes. He puts his favorite Rolex watch to match his outfit.

After getting ready he goes out of his room with his dogs trailing behind him. He has 6 dogs who are not small in size they are like beasts who don't tolerate any unknown person in their house. When Alessandro reaches the dining area he sees that all the staff are busy with their respective works. He takes his seat at the table and asks the cook to bring his breakfast. The cook has prepared his favorite breakfast which consisted of crispy bacon, sweet potato rosti, baked cherry tomatoes, avocado & poached egg. He is not a person who likes sweets so he prefers black coffee throughout the day starting from his breakfast.

The cook brings breakfast and serves her boss. The cook is in her mid sixty and everyone likes to call her Mama Melody. Although Alessandro never shows any emotion but everyone knows how much Mama Melody means to him.

"Here is your favorite breakfast Alessandro." Mama Melody says after putting the tray in front of Alessandro.

"Thank you, Melody." Alessandro replies with a nod.

After having his breakfast he tells the staff to get everything ready for his meeting with the client. The meeting will be held in his mansion as he doesn't want to do any reckless things during the meeting. If he can crack the deal then he will become the wealthiest person in Los Angeles. He is already the 2nd wealthiest businessman of Los Angeles but he never likes to be 2nd, he only wants to be the no.1 in everything. So he will get the deal by hook or by crook.

***********

Alessandro is doing some paperwork in his office when a maid informs him that the clients have arrived in the mansion. He takes off his reading glasses and departs to greet his guests. When he arrives in the living room he sees that five men are sitting there. He shakes hand with them and takes a seat. Soon they start to talk about the deal and what will be the budget.

He tries to cooperate with them but a certain person is trying to get under his skin. Mr. Richard Wilson is the one with whom Alessandro is going to sign the deal but the old man is taunting him the way he is talking about business & all as if Alessandro is a kid in front of him. Alessandro is trying very hard to control his anger but he knows that this man won't agree with anything he says.

"I think we shouldn't sign this deal gentlemen as I am not quite happy with the way Mr. Bianchi has described the project. The project will never be a success if you want to know my views. I think you should put more effort into your presentation, Mr. Bianchi." Says Mr. Wilson with a smug expression.

"I think you're right Mr. Wilson. But I need a day to do some changes to my presentation so I can please you. I hope everyone will agree with me, right gentlemen?" Alessandro smoothly replies while looking towards Mr. Wilson. Everyone agrees instantly as they already like the deal. But still, Mr. Wilson doesn't seem much interested in the deal. Alessandro knows that he needs to show the old man why you should never mess up with him.

After some more talking, he takes them towards the dining area for lunch. The servants serve delicious Italian dishes that are made by Mama Melody. Everyone thank Alessandro for such a great lunch except Mr. Wilson. He complains about every dish, how his cook can do better than Mama Melody. Alessandro grips the fork in his hand tightly to control his anger. He is an inch close to murder the old man for disrespecting his staff.

After lunch, he escorts them to the entrance of the mansion and agrees to have the meeting the next day in his office. When the door of the mansion closed he moves towards the bar situated near the living room to have a drink. He is fuming with anger that if it is possible then there will be smoke coming out of his ears. He pours Scotch in a glass and drinks it without stopping.

"What are you going to do next boss?" Someone says from behind but he doesn't need to turn to know who that person is.

"I want every little detail about Richard. His strength, his weakness, his dirty secrets, everything I want to know by the evening." He replies in a cold voice.

"I will get it done boss. But what will you do if that bastard doesn't comply with you? He seems to be a hard nut to crack." Samuel says while rubbing his jaw.

"There is nothing a weakness can't do Samuel. So it doesn't matter how hard nut he is, he will submit to me tomorrow and that's for sure." Alessandro replies with a smirk that promises punishment.

Samuel shakes his head after hearing his boss's words and goes to collect information about Richard Wilson.

***********

The next day Alessandro goes to his office with Samuel for the meeting. While walking towards his office his PA informs him that someone has called early in the morning from India for some business deal. Upon hearing India, he stops in his track.

"What have they said?" Alessandro asks his PA.

"They have said that they are interested to do a business venture with our company. So they want to meet you whenever you are free." Bianca, his PA replies.

He doesn't reply anything at first, but after sitting in his chair he asks about the company of India.

"I have some information about the company that is showing interest in doing business with us. The name of the company is 'Sengupta Enterprise'. The head of this company is Indrajit Sengupta but he didn't call directly. Someone name Riya Ganguly called and introduced herself as the COO of the company. The company is one of the biggest enterprises in India and is located in Kolkata." Bianca

replies while looking at her i-pad. When her boss doesn't reply she looks at him and sees that he is thinking about something.

"Alessandro, are you okay?" Bianca asks with concern because it's not every day that she sees her boss looking so tensed.

"Yes, I am alright. Please inform them that I want to do business with them and they can come here by next week." Alessandro replies in a professional tone. He dismisses her saying that he needs to do some works. When Bianca goes out of his office he takes a deep breath and starts to do his work.

At 11 o'clock Bianca informs him that the clients are waiting for him in the conference room. He stands up from his chair and goes to the conference room with a smirk as if he is sure that he will be getting the deal for sure. The conference room is very huge and full of luxury. He likes to flaunt his wealth because being raised in an orphanage he has to deal with a lot of humiliation earlier in his life.

He shakes hands with everyone and takes his seat. Before he can say anything, Mr. Wilson stands up from his seat grabbing everyone's attention.

"Yes, Mr. Wilson. Do you have anything to say before the meeting?" Alessandro asks the old man in a fake worried voice. Mr. Wilson wipes his forehead with a handkerchief to clear the sweat forming there.

"I would like to say sorry to Mr. Bianchi for my rude behavior. I wasn't in my correct senses yesterday as I am quite busy with my personal life so I didn't think the way I was behaving yesterday at your house. You don't have to give any presentation today as I have already liked your idea yesterday so I am ready to sign the deal as soon as possible." Mr. Wilson says in a hurry as if he is afraid of something or someone.

Everyone is shocked except Alessandro as he knows why the old man is so eager to sign the deal. He has gotten to know about Richard Wilson's weakness and uses it against the old man very well. So he already knows that Richard will sign the deal without any hurdle.

"You don't have to be so sorry Mr. Wilson. You are a senior in the business world so you have every liberty to judge my work. However, I can give another presentation if you want. I don't have any problem with it." Alessandro replies gently although he is grinning inside.

"No, Mr. Bianchi we don't need to see any other presentation. So can we please sign the deal? I have some urgent work so I need to leave early." Mr. Wilson replies.

Other men who come with him were surprised to see his behavior as he never apologizes to anyone before. Soon they sign the deal and leave the conference room with happy faces. However, when everyone goes out of there Mr. Wilson looks at Alessandro with fear in his eyes. He gets on his knees and begs for forgiveness from Alessandro.

"Please I am requesting you don't tell anything to my wife. She will divorce me and I will lose everything. She is the real owner of my company so please Mr. Bianchi forgive me. I will never disagree with you again." The old man looks like he can cry anytime.

"You can get up Mr. Wilson. I only wanted you to sign the deal and you have done that so my mouth is sealed. Your secret is safe with me. Now you can leave as I have other works to do." Alessandro replies with a cruel smirk.

After that, Mr. Wilson leaves the conference room. Alessandro is still sitting there thinking about how he has gotten to know the dirty secret of Mr. Wilson and how he has used it against the old man.

Flashback

"Boss I have the information you want to know about that bastard," Samuel said to Alessandro.

"That's great Samuel. So tell me if there is something that we can use against that fucker." Alessandro replied while petting his pitbull King.

"Boss you will be happy to know that he doesn't only have a mistress but also a daughter with that woman. His wife Mrs.Wilson who is the sole owner of Wilson Enterprise doesn't have any clue about her husband's doing. He constantly transfers money to a specific account and the account holder is none other than his mistress Helena Smith." Samuel answered.

"The fucker got some nerve to mess with me without thinking about the consequences. Let see what he will do now when I will dump the secret in front of him." Alessandro said with his famous smirk.

Flashback end

So the next day when Richard Wilson got a call from Alessandro early in the morning and heard that the Italian businessman knew everything about his mistress and his daughter he got scared and agreed to sign the deal immediately. Anyone who knows Alessandro better knows that you don't want him as your enemy as he is a master to punish his enemy without dirtying his hands. Although he seems like a good guy from outside but he is a beast inside.

Nevertheless, he has other things to deal with. He doesn't know why the Indian company 'Sengupta Enterprise' wants to do business with him so suddenly. Although he has been wanting to open a branch of his company in India as the country has achieved good economic development in some years. So it's a win-win choice for both parties. But first, he needs to know everything about the company before doing any business venture with them.
