My head is tilted in the direction of the piece of paper that is now located on my desk. "Despite the fact that the price of your shares increased by twenty percent, the profit that your company earned this year was a complete and utter failure." Do you want me to clarify further?

As Jackson takes a series of long, deep breaths, his chest seems to expand almost as if he is bracing himself for the subsequent verbal struggle that we are going to be having. I am really taken aback by your kind nature. That may be attributed to the fact that we made the decision earlier this year to invest a substantial sum of money into research and development activities. We are currently developing some new products that will fundamentally alter the method in which the financial industry performs its current functions.

When I think about him, I smile. "The whole industry? Really?" What, you mean this is the best that he can come up with? At the absolute least, he should have chosen a growing investment instrument that was outside of the realm of what I am knowledgeable about as an area of specialization.

It is clear that he is confirming this information by vigorously nodding his head; but, the look in his eyes, which is meant to give certainty, instead portrays a feeling of hopelessness. Elise's lovely warm hazel eyes make contact with mine, and she smiles once again, which causes me to feel even more annoyed than I did before. This occurs as she places yet another piece of paper in front of Jackson. It has never made any sort of sense to me how a person who is as frigid as she is can have been given with such breathtakingly loving eyes. "The WILLIAMS GROUPS figures in your annual report were lower than they were last year," she says, her voice being calm and charming but oh so fucking deceitful. The WILLIAMS GROUPS numbers that were included in your annual report came in much lower than they did the previous year. After that, with a nervous twitch in her voice, she adds, "I'm not entirely sure I understand."

Despite the fact that he is completely unaware of the fact that she poses a risk in her own right, he clings to her like she is some kind of crazy lifeline. Poor dude. It is impossible for me not to be concerned about the possibility that he would suffocate to death on his own excrement before she tears him to shreds.

Then he continues, "Oh, that's because the WILLIAMS GROUPS isn't on this year's report." He says this with his eyes wide open and a worried look on his face. On the other hand, we will most likely include it in the next quarterly report that we send out.

When she realizes what's happening, Elise's eyes become very big, and I have to suppress the urge to smile. "But... if that's the case, then how come the upcoming investment from WILLIAMS GROUPS isn't included in your retained earnings in this report?" "But... if that's the case, then how come that?" What are your plans for covering the costs of your education?"

As I turn my back on Elise, I offer her a respectful nod of the head. "I wonder," I mutter. "Elise, do you happen to have any suggestions or ideas?"

She acknowledges my presence with a nod and looks intently into my eyes. "I'm no expert, but I'm a bit worried that there won't be any money to invest in the WILLIAMS GROUPS that he's talking about until we first put it in him. This is despite the fact that I'm not an expert. This is what I believe, and it's why I'm saying it: I don't believe there is any money to invest in the WILLIAMS GROUPS that he's talking about. The inept CEO of this company, who continues to make foolish announcements across social media in an obvious attempt to mislead the market, is to responsible for the inflated share price of this company's stock. There is no substance, and a market correction will occur when they are unable to follow through on their unbelievable statements. "

She has one of the most vicious and fucking terrible personalities I've ever seen, yet she has the most attractive figure I've ever seen on someone with such a mentality. I like relaxing in my seat and taking in the surroundings while watching the performance. Even though Elise is the person I dislike the most, I have chosen to make her my right hand for a specific purpose.

The words "M-my child, he's a visionary" are said by Jackson at one point. "Only one among a small number of. In the world of business, he is a genius and a game-changer. Despite the fact that his assurances may not always be plausible, you won't come to regret placing your money in him in the long run.
