Chapter 15 - Grand Trading V

Arc, on the other hand, has no idea that those kinds of things are happening around him.. the moment he gave Eve the job he never bothers with any of the details he trusted Eve, he wasn't a control freak who wants everything under his control.

Arc was laying on the couch, he was thinking what to do next. the first step is complete now he was just waiting for Eve to complete the rest of the procedure.. after that the real game would start... with a smile on his face he was imagining what the future be like for him.

he's not an idiot he knows the value and the capability of the factory System if used correctly, him ruling the Galaxy if not just a pipe dream.

the problem is how to get there from where he is now.

"everyone got to start somewhere he said in his mind.."

while he was daydreaming Eve was busy laying the foundation of his future empire.

creak.. he heard the door open and heard his sisters talking excitedly on the door.

-hey, you guys are back I bought lunch it's in the kitchen go ahead and eat it..-

"what about you big bro?" asked Amy

-I've already eaten so don't worry about me..-

"They," said, Amy and Anne.

-alright, you two I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back later ok.. eat up..-

"oh, and before I go, I plan to replace both of your beds since it's getting smaller for you two. choose a design you want online the send me the details don't worry about the price ok."

"And be sure it's comfortable okay ????"

"ok hihi, you got it big bro be careful outside."

"sure."

he had an appointment with builders who would renovate the warehouse to his settings,

he already said what he's planning to do in the warehouse to eve, Eve show him some rendering on what the warehouse would be like, Eve shows him a lot of designs, finally he picks one that can accommodate all he needs at the moments...

the warehouse he bought from Mike. it's not very big but it has a lot of undeveloped land area and he plans to utilize all of it...

he hails a cab, and sat at the back,

-driver take me to diamond builders on 85th ave.-

"Alright!" said the driver, 15 minutes later he was in front of the diamond builders office.

inside he walks to the reception area, good afternoon sir how can I help you? said the cute looking receptionist.

-yeah, I have scheduled a meeting with Ms. Graft can you tell her I'm here..-

"Oh, then you must be Mr. Grand."

"I am.."

"she's already waiting for you."

"Please wait a moment."

she calls another lady whisper something to the lady and went back to face Arc.

"Mr. Grand. this is Lila she will take you to

Ms. Graft office"

"hi, Mr. Grand, I'm Lila please follow me I'll take you to Ms. Graft's office."

-no need to be so formal call me Arc.. -

"hihi, ok Arc follow me"

-sure lead the way..-

In front of the door on the second floor, Lila lightly knocks twice and said Ms. Graft your guest Mr. Grand is here. come in said the cute sounding voice inside

Lila opens the door and gesture to Arc to go inside after Arc went inside he close the door lightly and left.

inside, Arc was greeted by a beautiful bombshell. Mia Rain A. Graft the owner and founder of diamond builders was once a beauty queen,

she won many beauty pageants during her college years, after graduating from a course architecture at the young age of 21 she founded diamond builders inc.

unfortunately, she learns the darkness of the business most of his client only wants to sleep with her.. and didn't really care about her capability.. some a brazen enough and tell her they will only hire her if she sleeps with him.

of course, she rejects them all. it's has been a year already since she founded the diamond builders but all project they got is all small-time business, like building a small office or small house or something like that.

unfortunately, that kind of project is not enough to make them float.. in fact if they didn't get a big project they may close after the end of the year

she came from a wealthy family. but she runs away from home when her parents tried to arrange a marriage for her.

she doesn't like other people controlling her life even if they are her parents.

this is her last chance to be in control of her life. if she failed she may not be able to refuse the arrange marriage set by her parents.

she was surprised when she saw Arc when she received a call from a mysterious girl who claims to be the secretary of the one called Mr. Grand.

"Hello, Mr. Grand, I'm Mia Rain Graft you can call me Mia I didn't think you would be this young"

-haha nice to meet you, Mia, I'm Arc Grand call me Arc..-

"alright, please sit Arc, would like some drinks?"

-thanks, Mia water would do..-

sitting down Arc said:

-let's talk about the proposal my secretary has given you what do think about it?-

"straight to the point I like that I've read and saw the design I would have to say, you have a very good architect, as an architect myself I can tell how good it is, every detail is well thought of, it was amazing."

inside his mind arc said, of course, it's good it was designed by ????????rank military-grade AI... it would be a surprise if there's a mistake in it.

-well I'm glad you like it.. so do you think you're capable of building it in exact details Mia?-

Mia look at Arc and was a little disappointed he didn't see any l.u.s.t in his eyes it was a rare experience for her.. but at the same time, she was intrigued, "did I lost my s.e.x appeal?" she thought, she can see Arc was very young maybe two years or so younger than her.. guys that age is full of hormone especially rich kid like Arc, but she didn't see any of that haughtiness that came from a typical silver spoon kids.

"she looks at Arc and smile, it will be difficult but I'm 100% sure we can do it."

it was at this time Lila came to the office and brought a bottle of water for Arc.

Arc look at Lila and smile,

-thanks, Lila-

Lila smiles back at him and said "no problem.." Left

Mia looks at Arc and asks "you know each other?"

-just now when I came to your office..-

Arc answer back.

Arc look at Mia and said

-are you sure you can build it exactly like in the blueprint?-

Mia was about to joke around but when she noticed arc serious face she swallows all that and answers "I am.. so what's the time frame?"

Arc smile and said

-cool!, I don't have a time frame per se but I would like it to be built as soon as possible.-

"Alright, I can accept that.. can I ask you why you want to pay in cash?"

-hais well, it's a long story.-

Arc pick up the bottle of water open it and drink a mouthful,

-but I can give you a short version or should I say a short reason..-

-I just don't want let a certain someone know of what I'm doing.. as for who that someone is I can't tell you.. but I can promise you it's nothing illegal..-

"if it's going to be a problem for you I can understand it, I'll go somewhere else."

Mia smile and said, "it's nothing like that I'm just curious that's all, forgive me for that."

-there's nothing to forgive mia, so do we have a deal?-

"yes, we do" said Mia she offers her hand for a handshake????.

Arc grab her hand handshake it and laugh, "excellent!" he said

Mia laugh too afterward Mia made some phone calls, "I'll have someone write a contract after you sign it we're good to go."

the truth is Mia already prepared the contract beforehand and gave it to her secretary.. she didn't keep it in her office as she doesn't want to look too eager to her clients especially the one called Mr. Grand by the mysterious secretary.

the reason she calls it mysterious is that there was no number when she got the calls.. in this day and age all calls are controlled by UNITED TELECOMMUNICATION OFFICE and they make sure all calls are controlled, safe and transparent, meaning criminals can't hide their phone no. when they call, since their phone number is linked to their citizen id. all citizens will receive a permanent phone number. and changing it is a very long process.

they chat about the small details while waiting for the contract to make, they didn't have to wait long as a few minutes later another beautiful lady enters the office and delivered the doc.u.ments.. she didn't linger though after she gave the doc.u.ments she smiled at Arc and left.

Mia handed the doc.u.ments to Arc, who pretended to be reading it, while in truth he was conversing with Eve for verification of the doc.u.ments.. a few minutes later Arc sign the doc.u.ments.. and handed it back to Mia who is watching him with a smile on her face.

"excellent said Mia she gave him a thumb up????."

Arc laugh takes out the backpack From his shoulder and hands it over to Mia.

"500k my initial down payment."

"Mia was surprised didn't we agreed that the initial deposit would be 200k?"

-yeah, my secretary informs me of that.. but since we already agreed here, and you look trustworthy.. might as well give you one-third of the agreed price.

initially, the price for the renovation of the warehouse is only about 50k credit but with all the addition and expansion the price to up to 1.3m credit arc decided to upgrade the wall for it jumps to 1.5 million credit. Eve didn't even bargain about the price when she contacted Mia, likewise, Mia believes than the one going to do the bargaining with her is the one called Mr. Grand.. and she prepares for it.

to her surprise not only Arc is easy to talk to he didn't even bargain.

she looks at Arc and she was intrigued.
