The tour guide went over and pointed at a room titled Golden princess Monica room. The tour guy tried to stop him but he was already inside the princess room who was busy programming something when she was interrupted by him. She wondered who let him in but as soon as she found out she let him go in the tour guide ran.
Hal took a good look at Monica, her aura almost look like gold-like the only thing that wasn’t gold was her red hair and her eyes which were blue everything else from her dress to her T-shirt was all a variation of gold needless to say the boy couldn’t stop staring at her.
Princess Monica waved her hands in front of his eyes to snap him out of it. Afterwards she answered his question in which the company increased in wealth because of her companies video game division was eaten up by her dad‘s company so in spite of wanting to be independent she is now back under her dad thumb and he profits off her work. anger showed in her face but felt hopeless to change things.
Before Hal could question who was her father was suddenly A knock came from outside the room was heard, it was her father, and he knew Hal was here from the tour guide and wanted him gone. Hal decided to leave and will come back again in a few weeks time, the Hal held Monica hand as if it was a promise and left with her father(Who is the CEO) along with his bodyguards.
Two weeks and big profits later and Hal was back along with a lawyer and an old man that sold him the stocks in the first place. Hal wanted to see the CEO and after some run around literally told them all he will buy out the company, afterwards the CEO did come out to humor him and said that his company wasn’t for sale.
But hal and his lawyer countered that not only was the business was in the marketplace but the amount of stocks the boy had totaled around 60% in the company unless the father had something equivalent he would need to get ready for a takeover. But the CEO wasn’t going along with that and had many of his goons surround them all. That’s when the old man stepped up, the man took off his mask to reveal himself as the former president of big stalk.
The CEO was surprise that he sold his stocks to the boy and begged him not to do this but the former president recognizes the boys judgment in taking risk and figuring out his options and named him the next president of big stalk.
One year later Hal’s mother is resting in a summer home not having a worry in the world knowing she was wrong about her son and is glad he made it out there in the world.
