Chapter 75 - Alan Porter In Action

Alan did not take much time before contacting Alex. Once he had all the necessary documents to transfer KANI's ownership to Alex, he wanted to close the deal as quickly as possible so he could get her to the Jensens. He had already exceeded the short time Lydia had given him to bring Alex to her, so he had to hurry.

That afternoon, as Alex familiarised herself with Eliott, taking a closer look around his house or in his office to see what he was working on or what he loves, such as the book he read or the game he like to play, she tried to get more information about the man she was going to marry, by inspecting his house. Eliott watched her looking around contentedly, it was a great and cute picture he was seeing. He was really glad to see her so curious as she walked around him asking him questions about this and that, really curious.

She was having a good time when she got the call from Alan. Instinctively, she looked at Eliott and showed him the caller before taking the call. It was a short conversation in which Alan basically told her that the documents were ready and asked her to meet him at KANI's main office the next day.

When Alex ended the call, she smiled and looked at Eliott, who was also smiling.

"What game do you think the old fox will play tomorrow?" asked Alex, sitting back down on Eliott's lap.

"Well, first he'll give you an empty shell, probably on the grounds that the value of the company now already exceeds what it was worth then, so he has the right to give it back to you empty. And maybe he'll bring some reporters along to witness his good deed of giving his daughter a company and a brand" Eliott replied, giving her a little kiss on the forehead.

"So I should be prepared to face some reporters then?"

"No, I do not think he'll let you talk to them because you have shown him that you are not that easy to take advantage of, I think it will just be a matter of taking a few pictures of you and him... And then spread the word on the internet. Do not worry too much, I have got everything under control, you just have to enjoy yourself with this little show..."

"Thanks!!!" Alex smiled at her handsome future husband and gave him a light kiss.

They spent the day together, both working on their stuff. Alex was already planning how she could merge KANI and CANDIDE as one brand without losing too many customers since KANI image was not too good in the fashion industry now, while Eliott was busy with his work as usual.

The next day, Alex felt great. It was not actually a good day since it had been raining non-stop from morning till the afternoon, but she did not know why she just felt good. When she got home the day before, she had explained to Fidelia what was going on about her meeting with her father. Fidelia was pretty excited too, because they had been waiting for this day for a long time. Fidelia knew how important it was for Alex to get back her grandfather's company, so she was excited as well to finally see her friend goal being reached.

Alex goes to her appointment with a lawyer from Royalstar, Fidelia wasn't with her since it wasn't about her modelling career. She wanted someone who could closely review the documents she would sign to get KANI back. 

When she arrived looking beautiful as always in her blue business suit and long hair tied in a bun, she was greeted at the door of the company by Alan himself with a wide smile. She frowned, knowing that the old man could not be pleased to see her, so she understood that there must indeed be people taking pictures of them."

She did not mind and played the game her father had set. Once they were in the CEO's office, things got even more sombre. Alan's blooming face was now cold and unfriendly. He picked up a bundle of documents and handed them to Alex unceremoniously.

"Here, all the documents for the transfer of ownership, you just need to sign where you are asked to," Alex said.

"Thank you, I assume you do not mind my lawyer taking a look, do you?" asked Alex, looking Alan straight in the eye.

Alan's lawyer, who was also present, felt a little uncomfortable as he knew what they had done with the company's money. He knew whoever he was working for was not a good guy, but this was too unethical and couldn't help to be a little off while looking at Alex's lawyer.

Alex's lawyer took the document and started looking at it one by one. Alan began to tense up as he was about to reach the balance sheet of the company. And as Alex and even Adam, the lawyer sent by Eliott, had expected, the company had no funds to finance its assets, i.e. nothing to pay the employees or finance the production of clothing, since there were no funds to buy raw materials. 

Adam immediately understood what was going on and pointed it out to Alex.

"Well, Mr. Alan? What kind of a joke is this? You are giving me an empty shell. I thought we made it clear that you were to give me the company at the value it had when you stole it from my grandfather?"

"You little piece of ..." Alan started to get upset when she brought up the fact that he had stolen the company, but Alex did not give him time to talk at all.

"Mr. Alan, please watch what you say, I am not the one playing dirty here. We have a deal, but to my regret, you are still a cheater. But thank God I am not like you. I am going to let this slide anyway and fulfil my part of the contract, I just want to take back my grandfather's company."

Alan was red with anger, how could she humiliate him in front of so many people? He wanted to show her her place, but he reminded himself that he needed her, so he held back!

After Adam reviewed everything, Alex signed the documents and Alan handed her everything related to the brand and the company. She was so pleased to have finally reclaimed KANI that she could not help but smile.

When the deal was done, they left the company. Adam had her hands full of files while Alex and Alan climbed into their respective cars, smiling.

Arriving home, Alex found Leila and Fidelia waiting for her. As soon as she saw them, she ran to them and hugged them tightly. She was overjoyed, this day was one of the happiest she had experienced since her grandfather died. She had made it her life's goal when she promised her grandfather that she would do anything to get KANI back, and today she had finally paid her respects to her grandfather.

They celebrated at home before Leila suggested they go out and enjoy the night. Alex had been excited all day so she did not object to Leila's plan and soon the three women were sitting in an upscale private lounge sipping cocktails.

The lounge was full of beautiful women and handsome men. As soon as you set foot inside, you could already guess what kind of customers came here, because all you could see where people in luxurious brands showing off their wealth to each other. But the three women sitting alone in their booth were the most stunning in the lounge, and they soon attracted the attention of the men around them.

By this time they were a little drunk, with only Leila holding back. She had more experience with drinking than Fidelia and Alex, as a vice CEO she had attended many meetings where drinking was part of the courtesy. 

In her good mood, she started making videos of Alex and Leila doing stupid things before sending them to Eliott.

Eliott was working late with Christ when he received the first video. When he saw the notification, he was not bothered by it at first, but on the second one, he looked to see what it was about fearing it was something serious.

When he opened the first video, his phone threatened to fall off when he saw Alex twisting her sexy body dancing. In the video, you could see the men around her drooling like she was a fresh piece of meat. He immediately got up and grabbed his things.

"My God, we have to go Christ!" He exclaimed already thinking about how he should make his sister pay for that!

"Wait, what? I thought we had to finish this tonight!" 

"Make up your mind" Eliott shows him the second video of Fidelia dancing sensuously and smiling as if inviting the men to come on to her!

"Damn...." Christ stood up, grabbed his things too, and they both hurried to the lounge where they arrived in less than ten minutes.
