Chapter 84: Winning Again II

Athena watched Alfonso heave in and out harshly, his anger radiating like heat from an open flame. She shook her head and got to her feet. "The offer just dropped to eight million..."

Alfonso’s anger immediately deflated. His eyes widening in disbelief, he stuttered an indecipherable apology in resignation, before falling to his knees.

"Please, Athena, have mercy on me..." His voice trembled, desperation etched into every line of his face.

Athena shot him a look of contempt, her gaze as icy as a winter morning. "Mercy? Be real Alfonso. This is pure business. When you’re ready, email me the document. But remember, as the day goes by, the value drops."

She was just about to head out when Alfonso unexpectedly grasped her ankles, holding her back. "I’ll take it. I’ll take your offer."

"Good," Athena said, turning aside and sitting back down after shrugging his hands away from her feet. The power dynamics felt so deliciously delightful to her.

Gianna observed the scene play out, almost as if she had foreseen Alfonso crumbling under Athena’s assertiveness. She was thrilled to see her friend in this commanding state, ready to gloat—this was something she could definitely relish.

"So, the document can be prepared now, to save time. As a matter of fact, I have a template..." She chimed in, her excitement palpable.

Alfonso and Athena both furrowed their brows, turning to Gianna in unison. "What?"

"You told me about the deal, remember? I just prepared a document for it in advance. It’s for a hundred million dollars, but that can be changed..." She explained, a hint of pride in her voice as if she had just solved a difficult math problem.

The room fell into a cloud of silence as Gianna worked her magic. A few minutes later, she handed the iPad to Alfonso. "You can sign here. And please be fast about it," She urged.

Athena sighed and leaned back in her chair, letting her mind drift as she dreamt about the new addition to her collection—this deal felt like winning the lottery.
