The Pinnacle Of Life

As they left the old Assex Manor, Spark looked admiringly at Bill, “Grandpa, I didn’t know you were so well connected that even Lord Lex is your friend. You even managed to hep pull the strings for a billion dollars contract so quickly! No wonder you were confident that the old lady would accept your proposal!”

Bill shook his head and said, “The billion dollars contract had nothing to do with me…”

“Huh?! Then didn’t you just say…” Spark questioned.

“I was merely  going with the flow,” Bill interjected. “Fate has it to be our day. I didn’t expect the Assex family could do business with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. It seems that someone powerful must be helping them. It is a brilliant move for you to marry Dorothy. We might be able to connect with Thousand Miles Conglomerate through you in the future.”

Spark smiled and nodded in agreement. The thought crossed his mind, who could be helping the Assex family? A billion dollars was no small sum. Could it be Alex? He quickly dismissed the possibility. In his mind, Alex was just a useless person; there was no way he could pull it off. After all, no matter who it was, his marriage to Dorothy was going to be finalized the next day.

At the other Assex villa, Lady Dorothy received notification that Thousand Miles Conglomerate had offered the Assex Constructions a billion dollars deal and had specifically requested her to handle the negotiations of the contract. She couldn’t believe it was real. After multiple confirmations, she finally accepted the good news to be true.

“Alex!” she thought. “He said that he is going to give me a big surprise! Could this billion-dollar contract be his doing?”

Lady Dorothy quickly went to the conference room to meet the representatives from Thousand Miles Conglomerate. It was as though a miracle had happened; the negotiations went in her favor easily. It was as if the contract was a deal that fell from the sky. Assex Constructions would be able to obtain at least twenty percent larger profit margins than usual, and the deal would total at least three hundred million in profit for Assex Constructions.

As Lady Dorothy managed to sign the contract before the anniversary banquet, it was without a doubt that she would be the top performer and would receive a large performance bonus.

The representatives from the Thousand Miles Conglomerate shook hands with Lady Dorothy, and said, “Thank you, Ms. Assex. The contract is set, I will take it back and go through the necessary process. It will be signed and stamped and be given back to you latest by tomorrow.

After bidding farewell with the representatives of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Lady Dorothy felt as if she were in a dream. She immediately called Alex, “Alex, was that your doing? Is the billion-dollar contract from Thousand Miles Conglomerate the surprise you wanted to give me?”

Alex grinned and said, “Are the negotiations finalized? That’s great! I’ve owed you far too much over the past ten months. I will do my utmost to make it up to you. You’ll have my full support from now on.”

broke down and cried, “Alex, I do not ask for much. As long as you remain positive in life and have the guts to keep on living, I
