Chapter 208: Win-win Situation

"Are you sure about your plan?" Marcus said, pacing around his office, thinking of a better way other than his plan.

He knew that his friend had been in a tight spot because of the deals he had made this past few months. But entering into these new ones was not something he wished to agree on upon learning the key parties involved with it.

"I think my father is right," Alex said as he thought of what his father suggested during their breakfast the other week.

"Don't you think you are taking an unnecessary risk by agreeing to this?" Marcus pointed to the paper in his hand.

"Not if we put some necessary precaution. I think we can pull this through." Alex insisted, knowing that he wanted this to work. "Dani also thinks that it is a good idea."

After thinking about it this weekend and even talking to Dani about this situation, Alex realized that it might be the solution he needed. It might be the answer to his problems.

But of course, like all agreements, it also had some downsides and flaws in it. But Alex believed that he could control the situation and worked it out to his advantage. 

"Are you positive that you have thought of this thoroughly and was not just influenced by what Dani said?" Marcus questioned him again with his decision.

It was not that he was undermining Dani's capacity to think of this objectively. But he feared that Alex and Dani's feelings about their relationship and their agreement might be clouding their judgment about approving this plan.

He wanted to think that there was another way other than this, but it would seem that Alex was already dead set in doing this. What else could he do? He was just a friend and an employee under his company.

"I know what you are thinking. My decision had nothing to do with my relationship with Dani. As I said, I don't allow how I feel about her influenced what I do with my business." Alex assured his friend, seeing the doubt in his expression.

In his analysis, the positive outcome would seem to outweigh the negative possibilities. There might be a risk, but it was not enough to convince him that he should turn this opportunity down.

"But how can you be sure that you are looking at this objectively?" Marcus still felt that he might not have seen the whole picture. Despite his respect for his friend's ability to control his emotion, Marcus believed that Alex might be thinking not with his head but with his heart.

"Trust me, man. I know what I am doing." Alex could not keep arguing with Marcus. It might only end up badly, knowing how he felt about his relationship with Dani and his association with Ethan.

Lately, they had not seen eye to eye in their decisions, and he did not want to fuel that misunderstanding and create a bigger one.

"Ok. What else can I do but trust you? But if things turn into shit, you know I will always be here to help you clean it up." Marcus said with slight disapproval in his tone.

It was not just a reminder but also a warning that he should be cautious in whatever he had planned to agree to because it could end up badly, in his opinion.

"Thanks, Marcus. I always know that." Alex told him, thankful to have a friend who always had his back. 

He prepared himself for his next meeting. But later, he had to call his father to inform him that he finally agreed to the Council's suggestion. Honestly, he was unsure of how his father was going to take his news. 

Because from their last meeting, he seemed to be hesitant to tell him about the plan. But since it was the Council's decision, his father had no choice but to discuss it with him.

"Then, I guess you don't need me anymore." Marcus left him to his job. He also had several appointments he had to attend since he was also a busy man.

Back on his own, alone in his office, he turned around and faced the magnificent view of the city outside. It was one of the things that fascinated him to stay in this place and called it home.

Another he would think would be Daniella Hamilton. It would seem that he was getting way too deep in his relationship with her. After spending the entire weekend cooped up in her home, he thought that he would find himself suffocated by their relationship.

But the opposite happened. Like when Alex and Dani were in the palace, Alex felt that it was what he wanted, to be with her. He liked taking care of her and doing mundane things with her.

"Sir, your next appointment is here. Should I send him in?" His secretary asked as she peered in the door, alerting him of the present.

"Send him in." When he nodded, his secretary opened the door and allowed his new investor to come in. 

He was looking forward to meeting the man because he was one of the leading manufacturers of electronic materials in this city. His investment in his company would surely boost his company up in the leader board.

The meeting took longer than he intended, but he was sure that it was worth every minute. He was able to convince the man to invest in his company. 

"It was a pleasure doing business with you. I will have my secretary call yours to set up another meeting for the contract signing." Alex informed his new business investor.

Now, he needed to call his father and discussed his decision on the subject matter. He could not prolong it any longer because the sooner he had settled this issue, the better.

"Dad, I won't take this long and waste your time. I will agree to what the Council wants, but there are certain conditions that the Council will also need to reconsider if I am to do this." Alex had thoroughly thought of this condition of his. 

If the Council finally agreed with his terms, then he would have no qualms about their suggestions. It would be a win-win situation for all of them, according to his book.
