Giovanna Bianchi
RBC Construction
Benjamin stands as his father's lawyer, the two of them look at the contract, reading clause by clause. After almost ten minutes in total silence, he picked up the pen and signed.
- From now on, you are the majority shareholder of RBC Construction, Giovanna, which means that my children no longer have any inheritance rights over this construction company, I know it would be too much to ask, since you're offering me more than my share is worth, but I ask that you both guarantee your jobs. - Jenna took it and started typing the information into her laptop.
- Thank you John, you've done the right thing, now regarding their work here, Benjamin is extremely welcome, he'll only leave if he wants to, as for Lorena, I can't say the same, you have to understand that both she and Lorenzo destroyed my life, and I'm getting back on my feet, a new phase is beginning in this construction company, a phase in which she won't be a part.
- It's okay, I understand! I made a lot of mistakes with Lorena, I always turned a blind eye to her attitudes and today I'm reaping what I planted in the past, my addiction made me a bad father, this money will go towards my treatment.
- I've finished Giovanna, it's final, the official document comes out in a week, I've managed to put it as a matter of maximum urgency, there aren't so many processes ahead.
- Thanks Jenna, John I've just requested the transfer to my manager via message, here he has just replied, the transaction was a success. Can you check please? - I'll ask John.
- Sure. - he says and picks up his cell phone. - That's right Giovanna, it was a pleasure doing business with you.
- Thanks John, can Ben take your father to the exit? Right this way, you know it leads straight to the parking lot, I don't want anyone to know he's been here now, Lorenzo has probably already arrived, he's smart and he'll pick up the pieces in no time.
- It's okay Giovanna, I'll be back for your announcement in a little while.
- I'll be waiting for you. Thanks again. - I said and they left through the emergency exit in my office.
- It was a success, Giovanna, the staff will be shocked, and Lorenzo won't be able to speak for himself, what are you going to do with them?
- With Lorena and Lorenzo? - I asked and she hurried off. - You'll see, since we're going to have another meeting with them about the divorce, you can stay and see their reaction. - Jenna isn't one of the company's lawyers, she's my personal lawyer.
- It would be a pleasure. - she replied, amused.
The phone in my office rings and it's only then that I realize it's 9:35.
- Yes, Lizza?
- The staff are already waiting for you, and your husband is dying to know what's going on, since you're in a meeting with the door locked.
- I'll be right there, thanks.
- You're welcome.
- Lizza, I want you there too, okay?
- Okay. - Say it and hang up.
- It's showtime, Jenna.
