Hollywood Zenith-Chapter 977: Plans for the future-2
" That’s my proposal. A fully autonomous entity that would solely focus on your results but I have to tell you there are couple of things I would need your help with in the future so you have to be prepared for it. I won’t promise that it wouldn’t be illegal but I know that you guys can handle it." He laid out all his cards and what he was going to promise them.
" One more thing, if anyone of you is going to refuse my offer there would be no hard feelings between us. I would appreciate if you keep whatever we discussed here a secret." With that he concluded his lengthy monologue.
" So we are going to be major shareholders and you are only going to be a minor one? I don’t see you getting much from this venture." Tom raised the question that was on everyone’s mind. It was hard to believe him being so generous with them enough to make them suspicious.
" Before that, you must already know what kind of man I am. While I do believe that doing good would bring good fortune but this world is far too sinister for people with such ideals to exist. I am sure you all have did an excellent job researching more about me and my companies." Samuel said with a small smile on his face.
Tom along with some of them who assisted him earlier about digging more things about Samuel felt restless.
" You don’t have to be like this. I know becoming fast friends is not ideal. I would have been disappointed if you were too trusting to me who showed you some kindness which wasn’t even planned.
And for your information, there is nothing wrong with your terminals, I had a hunch you were going to go this route and from your expressions....I can tell that you guys don’t have any talent in poker." Samuel chuckled. Explore more adventures at novelbuddy
" We don’t know because we never played together. I think I can easily beat you." Linh chimed in. Samuel grumbled because he still couldn’t figure out her emotions. After getting to know and walk around them, he knew there were some fluctuations from others but Linh seemed special completely masking her emotions underneath that deadpan look!
" Maybe some other time." He said to her before addressing other again.
" I also want to give you few things that I collected from the achieves. It would make you look at things from different perspective. Lastly, the work was going to be tough. I know everyone here thinks that they could easily breeze through it but I have to warn them that I am not putting my money in a bad investment.
For that, I will hand each one of you a specific task that you have to complete in coming few months but that would come after we sign a agreement."

There were few more questions after that regarding where they would live and if they could travel around and do work remotely, he replied truthfully.
During the contract period they could never leave the country, their jobs would be confidential so they could not even tell another soul about it but that would only be for more important works for rest of the period they were free to move around. He flat out told them to treat the job as if they were working for the government and to expect the same conditions placed on them.
Throughout the meeting, Linh never raised another question. People would look at her likely to urge her to say something but she kept staring at Samuel and from time to time look at Miranda and Disha who were sitting at his back with bewildered look on their faces.
They remained calmed toward the whole meeting only gasping a few times to understand the gravity of his words. He made it sound like he was starting something so incredible that it would change the whole world and if they knew the true extent of his plans, they very well think him as a madman who was willing to go against the whole world to achieve his goals.
Not just them, everyone else felt the same when interacting with him. It might be an influence of his leadership title but a big portion of it was because he didn’t hold anything back from them. He could have told them that they were only going to do some work for him and he would let them go promising them all the freedom in the world but he laid it out like it was.
How could it not made them trust him?
Jane recording the whole meeting listing down the names of people who she knew could make trouble in the future. She would make several contingency plans in case they decided to turn on Samuel, for that she would need Adrian’s help, the only hacker that could match these people’s intellect.
Meanwhile Samuel gave them some time to consider his proposal but he also told them that he would be leaving the country in a week. That was the best he could do because he had some urgent matters to attend to.
That concluded the meeting and they exited the room to make way for the next one. Linh decided to stay since she would be meeting some of her acquaintances, her mind was already made that she was going to follow the young man because she was just too curious about what he was going to do in the future. If that meant, that she needed to work for him that so be it.
Money wasn’t her driving force, she just wanted to understand more about things that she was curious about.
After five minutes, Nicole came in with Anastasiya and Robyn along with rest of the people that he rescued. He looked over them, it was first time he was seeing them this clean and composed but few of them were keeping their head down probably because they were scared to meet him.
Other than Linh, he knew they didn’t know that he personally rescued them since he was wearing a hefty disguise at that time. Still seeing Nicole in lead put a wide smile on his face, she seemed to handling it much better than he anticipated, maybe she had a talent to be a leader just like Amanda?
