Chapter 23: Moves

With that we walked in on Ray chatting up Gail, in her swim suit.

She quickly said, "Nothing happened sir!"

"Look your love lives are the least of our worries! Considering our boy Donovan is beating his wife," replied Michael as he got some water from the refrigerator.

Gail then asked, "What?"

"Yep, she has bruising to prove it. And their former maid/ my girlfriend tell me that her so call slips and fall a few years ago. Was him throwing her down the stairs," replied Mendoza to him.

Richmond exhaled and said, "I was hoping she was lying."

"Who," asked Michael to him?

Richmond then said, "Ok given his background and family I couldn't find anything."

"Of course you didn't. If my father was the Vice President and owner of Berkeley & Associates Law the FBI wouldn't even look at me. Let alone raid my shipment and pin it on my rival. Thanks for that by the way," replied Mendoza and Michael smiled.

"Any who. I have a friend that is an activist and Conspiracy Theories. Once upon a time she represented the Reign Group of Companies, now Reign Industrial Group, as the PR. Manager.

Now shortly after the Berkeley acquisition daddy beat up mommy and she had an accident trying to run from him. With that he bought out the case. The problem is a tape of the beating found its way to her.

The Reigns destroyed her credibility and sued her for deformation of contract. Then she got sent to Riskers for 5 years after she wouldn't pay the 4 million find. Now she is jobless.

Now she is stalking the Reigns digitally. And two years ago a neighbor called the cops. And then Reign was arrested. But the neighbor vanished before the hearing and the case got thrown out.

No one has heard from him since. Now she says she has more intelligence and is willing to help but she wants a job working in our PR. Department," replied Richmond to him.

Before Michael answered Micah said, "That is not wise. We hire her and Reign could pull his contract. And given the fact that your family might have recruited Jacqueline into their midst.

We need this contract to push Moore Corporations off the ground. And with the Reigns as enemies the Moore legacy will be over before we begin."

I then said, "I was looking forward to my daughter as the CEO of Moore Communications Group. But here we are about to risk everything."

"Yea! And Richard is going to head up Moore Engineering Group and I was going to oversee Moore Holdings PLC. Alongside my job as the Executive President of the Moore Corporations.

And my friends with major private investments was going to help me go larger," replied Michael to me.

Micah then said, "And it is all riding on this contract. So we can't jeprodise it."

"Then hire her through the Second Chances Program, ran by the Diana Rights Foundation. With her 5 years in Riskers Island she qualifies," replied Mendoza to him.

Micah then said, "That program is for addicts and convicts. We get a sponsor which is normally their boss. And they are in it for a year.

If she uses to work for the Reigns I guess Harvard education and if that reputation goes no one will hire or sponsor her."

"Actually she went to Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship. And in addition to her MBA in business Management she has a bachelor's in Advertising," replied Richmond to him.

Micah then said, "This gets better. Tell me where we are going to find a sponsor."

"Oh to hell with it! Sparta Corps. Is a subsidiary of Moore Holdings Plc? I presume. So it would use the PR. and Associates resources of Moore Corporations," asked Mendoza to Michael.

Michael nodded and said, "Yes! What are you up to?"

"Ok I have seen a lot. And I am impressed by your offer. So I will pay you 20 million a week for my ton of Cocaine and Heroin.

And you will launder my 1 billion in drug money per month. Plus I am throwing in the wine supply contract for Mendoza Entertainment Llc. It is worth US$ 200 Million a month for the next 10 years.

And the rest of my businesses will reach out to you. So I guessed I will be opening a US$ 42 Billion a month account with Moore Corporations. So that makes me your largest account." replied Mendoza to him.

Michael smiled and said, "That is great for my conglomerate. And Moore Business City will start off great. With Moore Corporations restructuring."

"I have a condition. This girl oversees my account and considers this her sponsorship. I will be at the launch tomorrow. We sign the contract after and she better be there," replied Mendoza to him.

Michael looked at Richmond and said, "Make it happen. To hell will Reign if we have to."

Richmond then said, "I will make the call."

He went with Gail and Micah said, "I hope you know what you are doing."

Michael then said, "Rolling the ball. And don't worry we will be fine."

We then went out to the party.
