Chapter 231

Damon

“What the fuck Ricardo?” was all I could say. “Don’t speak to him this is my business.” “You not in any state to do business MacMillan you going to lose all your clients. I thought I told you to leave him at home?” Before Ricardo could answer me, MacMillan spoke again. “I’m going to say this again Damon, this is my business not Ricardo’s.” “Well, he’s the only one that is keeping you a float at the moment MacMillan and I really don’t want to speak to you about business when you are high.” MacMillan got very defensive. “I can do business in any state this is my business and you want to take it away from me, that is what you want to do right?” “I don’t want to do it MacMillan I’m seeing an opportunity and I’m going to take it.” “You Fucker!” he stood up and screamed at me. “Can you please calm down.” I asked him but he kept on ratting “You are a piece of shit; I’ve worked my ass of to get my business to this level now you just want to sweep in and take over.” “Ricardo, aren’t you going to say anything?” I asked him. “I was told….” Then MacMillan interrupted him yet again. “I told him to keep his mouth shut his my fucken bodyguard nothing else.” “I’m going to ask you to leave my office MacMillan.” “I will not, not until this shit is sorted out.” “What should we sort out MacMillan.” “The fact that this is my business.” “Fine it’s your business can you leave now or should I get someone to remove you.” “Fuck you, Damon.” I was getting very tired of people swearing at me. “Get the fuck out MacMillan.” He got up but fell on his way to the door. Ricardo wanted to help him up. When I interrupted, “Ricardo this is the chose you’ll have to make right now are you going to stay with MacMillan and for sure be without work in the next few months or are you leaving him and staying with me?” I was dead serious, I’m going to take over MacMillan’s business and I need Ricardo to do that, he had the contacts but I can make the contacts on my own as well it will just make everything so much easier. “I need to get him home.” Ricardo said. “What does that mean?” “It means I’m taking him home, then I’m done with him.” Ricardo said. That made MacMillan look up from his spot on the ground. “What do you mean then you are done with me?” “Just what I’m saying I’m done MacMillan you don’t want to listen to me you don’t want to get help your business is suffering and if I didn’t do the few deals there was you would have had nothing and I wouldn’t have gotten my salary, I’m done.” “No, you can’t be I’ll go to rehab.” “Don’t fucken lie to me.” Ricardo said as he helps him of the floor. “I’ll be back Damon.” “Good” was all I said as he helps MacMillan out of my office. But as they walked MacMillan started screaming again “Fuck you Damon you are taking everything from me, fuck you.” I threw such a tantrum that all the men on the trading floor looked up to see what was going on. Well now they can see I’m really a bastard. Ricardo looked over his shoulder “I’ll come back.” “See you later.” I told him and went back to my office. When I walked pass Dave, I told him “Ricardo will be coming back, send him in.” “Okay Damon.” I walked into my office and start working on the papers from the floor supervisors. So far it looks like it’s only Luke’s supervisor that helped him. He must be shitting his pants by know we’ll see when I have the meeting with them. I mean he must have tried to phone Luke and couldn’t get hold of him that must be a dead give away that I’m not playing around with this at all. An hour or so later Ricardo was escorted into my office by Dave. “Thank you, Dave.” “Damon you only have an hour then you have the meeting with the floor supervisors.” “It’s okay Dave we don’t need an hour.” Then he left. “Damon I’m so sorry for MacMillan.” Ricardo started. “Why was he here I told you to come alone.” “He heard us talk and he made sure he was awake the whole morning he told me I work for him and he will come with or else he will fire me. I didn’t know you are going to offer me a job Damon.” “No problem, Ricardo and I am offering you the job we are taking MacMillan’s business away from him, if he doesn’t want to listen neither of us can help him. Do you have all his contacts?” He took out a little black book out of his suit jacket and waved it. “I have everything right here.” “That is great, so I’m going to put you in charge of that side of the business, if you need money to buy the stones you tell me but I want to know who we selling to and how much of what. You might be the one doing the business but I’m still the boss. I’ll double your salary what you are getting from MacMillan and the bonus is you don’t need to babysit anyone.” “That sounds perfect Damon, where should I work from?” “I’ll ask Dave to get you a spot to work from, but this is between us no one else in this building needs to know what we are doing, my men obviously will because we might need them from time to time but that’s it.” “No problem with me, when do you want me to start?” “Right now.” I press the intercom and Dave walked into my office. “Dave, I need you to get Ricardo here a spot to work from.” “On it Damon.” “Well then Ricardo you can wait for your spot with Dave I have another meeting to attend and Ricardo you need to go down to security and make sure they don’t allow MacMillan up here again; I will kill him if I see him in my building again.” “Okay Damon.” At least Ricardo knew I was talking the truth. I got myself ready and walk into the conference room with the floor supervisors. When I looked around the room everyone was sweating but Rodney looked like he was going to puke.
