Chapter 102: Manager
The next day came. And we see Adam. He had already stood up very early in the morning. And after getting up in the morning and taking a quick shower he started to leave the house.
Seeing this Ricky and Rachel who were present in the kitchen at that time were very surprised. And they looked at each other.
Then Rachel while coming out of the kitchen called out to Adam. He was going from the hall towards the front gate.
Rachel went into the hall and said "Adam where are you going so early in the morning? Won't you eat any breakfast with us?" After hearing this Adam turned back.
And looking at Rachel he said "I actually have to go very far. If I wait to eat breakfast with you I will be late for my school." Saying this he turned from there without even waiting to see Rachel's reaction. And he left the house.
Rachel as soon as Adam had left let out a deep breath. And she said to herself "At least I won't have to cook any extra food for him." Saying this she came back into the kitchen.
And Ricky who was sitting at the table and doing some of his own work. And who was also waiting for his food. He looked at Rachel.
Then Rachel said "We don't have to wait for many more days. In just a few days our work will be completed. I will go to Samantha's house today. I know exactly how I have to make Samantha and Adam meet each other." Hearing this Ricky again started to pay attention to his work.
Because he did not want to discuss or think much about Adam. He did not want to do anything related to him at all.
A little while later Annie's eyes opened. As soon as Annie opened her eyes she was still lying on her bed.
So she immediately remembered what had happened last night. She immediately stood up. And she looked towards the ground. Which was next to her bed. To see if Adam was lying there or not. Annie saw that there was no one there.
Not even the clothes she had given him. Seeing this Annie was surprised. And she stood up and looked in her closet.
Where the clothes were already present. The ones which she had given to Adam. Seeing this she was very surprised.
And she quickly opened the gate of her room and went downstairs. Where she saw her parents in the kitchen.
Seeing this she was a little surprised. Then Rachel said with a smile "Annie you have woken up early today." Then a little confused looking at her mother she said "Mother where did Adam go?" Then Rachel looking towards the corridor said "He had to go very far. That's why he left without even eating his breakfast." Hearing this Rachel again looked at Annie.
And she said "If you have woken up so early then you should get ready quickly." Hearing this Annie nodded her head. And she started to leave from there.
The scene shifts.
And we see Adam.
He was at the railway station. And he had taken out his phone. Which was his original phone. In it he immediately called the manager. Who was present in the Empire at this time.
Although as soon as Adam called the manager he immediately picked up the phone. But as soon as Adam heard the manager's voice he could understand that the manager was probably sleeping. Because Adam could feel the grogginess in his voice.
Then Adam said "How far has our progress reached?" After hearing this the manager said "We have opened our capital venture. But a very big problem has arisen." Hearing this Adam waited very calmly. For the manager to tell him everything.
Then the manager said "Here even though the government agencies are not so strict. But the private players here have a very strong monopoly. And our new firm which has just opened. The number of customers that are coming to us is very few. Because the big players have already started spreading rumors against our firm. Because of which a very negative sentiment is emerging against us in the market." Hearing this Adam understood what was happening.
Then the manager said again "Although I have tried a lot. And I have tried to contact most of the businesses you told me about. But they don't give me any of their time at all. Whatever list of businesses you gave me. I even tried to contact them. But despite all of that I am getting very few businesses to sign with us." After hearing this Adam understood the seriousness of this whole situation.
Then the manager said again "Although I thought that with time our situation here would get better. But it doesn't seem like it is going to. I think we need to improve our brand image. And for that we will have to spend a lot of money." Hearing this Adam took a deep breath.
And he said "I have told you this before. And I am telling you again. The worry of money is mine to handle. You just have to do the rest of the work." Hearing this the manager nodded his head.
He said "You are right. But you probably didn't listen to me properly. I said that there is a very negative sentiment against us. Not among the common people. But inside the business community itself." Hearing this Adam finally realized what the manager was trying to say.
Adam was a little surprised.
He said "What do you mean there is a negative sentiment inside the businesses?" Then the manager took a deep breath.
And he said "They all think that we have drowned many other companies in the past. That we don't complete anyone's payments on time." Hearing this Adam was a little surprised.
He said "Are there really such negative rumors about us in the market?" Hearing this and agreeing with Adam's words the manager said "Yes you are right. In the beginning I thought that these were very small matters. But in this market these kinds of sentiments are very big deals. Here if one business breaks the trust of another business. Then it is considered to be very wrong. Although in this matter the government agencies have their hands tied. They can't do much to these businesses in most cases. But still in the business ecosystem here that company is boycotted in a way. That is why the market of the Empire is so safe and attractive. And at the same time it is also very powerful." Adam understood something then.
Why the businesses of the Empire control almost the whole world. Because the ecosystem there is very favorable for business. In his own country he had to approach many government agencies in the beginning.
And he had to give them money. So that those people would not harass his business. But it was not like that in the Empire.
There the businesses were left open to grow. And with a minimum of paperwork. They were only given one type of tax to pay. Which went directly to the royal family. And only one tax was levied on the business's final product.
Which also went directly to the royal family. After this the royal family of the Empire was the richest family in this world.
After understanding this Adam understood what he had to do. And he said to the manager "You have just woken up from sleep right?" Hearing this the manager remained silent for a few seconds.
And then he said "I didn't just wake up from sleep. I had just gone to sleep." Hearing this Adam was a little surprised.
And he said "But it's morning now." Then the manager said again.
Surprised. "No. Night has just started here." Then Adam realized that what the manager was saying must be right. Because the Empire was in the exact opposite direction from them. On the earth. That is why the day was opposite there. If it was day here then it was night there. Then Adam realized why he could hear the sleepiness in the manager's voice.
Then Adam said "Don't worry. For now you should go to sleep. I will definitely give you a solution. When you wake up in your morning." Hearing this the manager immediately said "Okay." And he immediately cut the phone.
Seeing this Adam was a little surprised. He thought to himself "I thought he would refuse my offer to sleep. It seems he is very tired."
Adam saw that his train had arrived at the station. And as soon as he got on the train he was very surprised.
Because right inside the train he saw Sophia. Seeing this he was very surprised. As soon as Sophia saw Adam a smile immediately came on her face. And she immediately ran towards Adam.
But then suddenly she stopped right in front of him.
Then Sophia realized what she was about to do. Sophia was about to hug Adam.
Because of her surprise and happiness. Thinking this Sophia started to blush a lot. Adam was also very surprised.
To see such an action from Sophia. But he did not say anything. And he went and sat down on the seat with Sophia. Because he was also blushing a lot.
Sophia also feeling shy about her own action sat down with Adam.
