.
Anna signaled her guards to push them out.
they kept shouting
” even your so called husband has been caught on camera with a girl in club are you sure the merger is still intact?
Anna rushed upstairs.
a.g.h.c research department.
General view
This is where the main work is done Anna rarely visits this place unless it gets hard. There are like 40 computer systems in this place also our glass systems are visible too everything here is automatic and technically computerised. all the team members were busy with their systems when Anna walked in…she instantly pulled off her suit jacket and handed to her guard. She grabbed a seat everybody bowed… she carefully folded the hand of her shirt well
” tell me ” she said
” madam Malcolm is too smart. You need to check this out.” Chris one of our youngest and most brilliant hackers said
Anna walked towards him and he logged in and the screen surfaced on the glass projective table
” madam I don’t know how but Malcolm found out that we want to buy this hospital now check this out ” he used his fingers to open another screen.
” Malcolm wants to buy the hospital too and he just gave the biggest bid” Chris said
” what’s happening now Ethan ” Anna asked the next computer guru
” one minute madam
he logged into his system.
” madam they are considering Malcolm’s bid … the sellers logged off to be back in 30 minutes.
“Tristan how many hours do we have before we lose our license ?” Anna asked
” less than 1 hour madam
” ok once the sellers comes back online we need to buy this hospital.
” but madam I don’t see the possibility cos Malcolm keeps increasing his bid by ten percent.he is bidding higher than all the hospitals.
Anna scratched her hair
” madam the investors are waiting ,
You promised them the new hospital.
Anna removed her earrings and dropped them on the table. she walked to Ethan and stood behind him looking into his system.
” tell me Ethan, how much can Malcolm spend..
Ethan nodded and logged into his system Anna waited patiently
” madam it is hard to hack into their system it is really tight .
” Anna let him have it ,it is hopeless ” research team leader said while smiling at the coffee he ordered which just came in. he tried taking the cup when Anna angrily pulled down the tray from the waiters’ hands all the coffee fell down to the floor.
” did you say something Henry
” no madam
” good.
” listen guys a.g.h.c must be everywhere, Malcolm can’t lock us out of India if we can’t secure this hospital Grande health might not be able to have a hospital in India again . this is a.g.h.c we are not losers we must get that building
” ok madam Anna
” don’t madam me right now call me Anna if madam is too hard for you we don’t have time
” Anna I hacked their financial base Malcolm wants to spend the whole money here for the new hospital he has money Anna.
Anna looked into the system.
” Ethan which name weere you using to bid before .
” only a.g.h.c
” ok once the bidding starts I want you to log out a.g.h.c
” How will we bid
” we will use R.D Malcolm would think it’s Mr Dervantes and log out too
” good plan madam
Just then the bidding started. Malcolm toppled his formal price.
” Anna how much should R.D bid
” just follow Malcolm by 5 percent keep topping his bid by 5 percent
” ok madam.
Anna turned to Chris
” How long before we lose the license
” 35 minutes Anna.
” oh God Malcolm just log out!!. Anna shouted and hit her hand on the table.
” madam Malcolm is not logging out ..he keeps bidding…I think he knows it is you.
” what!!.
Anna unbuttoned her shirt completely and rushed towards Chris.
” Chris move
” ok.
he moved and Anna sat down facing the system.
” Ethan I want you to log out of the bidding in 5 minutes
” ok madam.
Anna’s fingers and eyes were moving very fast Chris stood behind her pointing at stuffs.
Malcolm’s pov
Does Anna think I am a kid .. I know this is not Mr Dervantes under R.D. he already has a hospital in India. it’s Anna she is using R.D to confuse me.
“Increase the bid ” I said to my team members
” sure sir.
I smiled.
” sir a new hospital just logged in
” name
” Strong Health Hospital (S.H.H)
” s.h.h.are you sure it’s not Anastasia .
” no Anna is still bidding with R.D. wait R.D just logged out… Anna is out of the game.
” hahaha foolish girl…. let’s log out guys
” why
“I don’t need the hospital i just wanted to make sure Anna doesn’t buy it
” wow smart move sir.
my team members started clapping.
” log out guys let’s leave it for strong health to buy. I don’t have money to waiste.
” ok sir we just logged out.
” sir strong health is about buying it
” good luck to them.I said smiling
my team members clapped … yes Anna lost.
Anna’s research dept.
General view
All others stood behind Anna.
” madam what are you doing” Ethan asked.
” I created a fake hospital profile.
” wait, are you strong health.. Tristan asked.
” yes I am
” check this out … Malcolm just logged out Henry said
” Chris buy the hospital with a.g.h.c right away. Log in now, Anna said.
” Anna log out of strong health quickly” Henry said
” am on it. Done!
Anna stood up .
” ok give me 4 minutes to buy it . Chris said and logged in.
Anna rushed to another boy
” Jeremy how long before we lose the license
” 5 minutes madam
” Chris be fast.
“ok madam I bought it.
Anna smiled
” Anna government is about closing the hospital our license time is over.
” no no no no no no…. Chris hack into the prosecution
” Anna I don’t know if I …
” now Chris … do it…you can do it.
” give me 30 minutes
” use 20
“ok.
Chris started hacking… Anna walked to Ethan . show me a preview.
he switched on a screen and Anna watched the government officers locking down the hospital for good.
Anna pulled off her shirt and used her hand to fan herself Rachel took her shirt she ran to Chris wearing only her black singlet
” Chris !!!
” done …I hacked in…. I am calling the lead prosecutor now with a hidden number but i hacked in so I am using the secret code of the prosecution to call
her.
” ok.
just then the prosecutor in charge picked the call .
” prosecutor Emmanuella Jerkerns…. case code 122..we are carrying out the final lock down of a.g.h.c’s branch in India as their licence time is late by 2 minutes.
Anna walked behind Chris .
” Emma this is…. district head Mrs Miriam Salvatore and you have been ordered to delay the lock down , giving them extra 30 minutes.
” what is the code behind this order ma
Anna looked at Chris he was speechless..
” Emmanuella how dare you question my authority.. do you wish to be stripped..
“ok madam.. everybody halt!!! ” Emma shouted.
Anna watched from the system as they stopped locking down the hospital.
Anna smiled and dropped the call
” Henry send in our Team
” yes madam
Anna fell weakly to her chair and placed her hands on her face
Henry placed a call
” is this team b
“yes sir
” you have 30 minutes to move a.g.h.c from malhotra to chataveri Singh .
” yes sir. come on boys move it
” yes sir !!
Henry dropped the call.
” Anna we did it ” Chris said
Anna smiled…first time she smiled at them they all bowed.
Malcolm’s pov
I was about sipping my wine to celebrate when my team members played the video of the new hospital I broke my cup . why is Grande group being written over that hospital
” Anna fooled us, she hid her identity to confuse you… she was the one behind strong health.
I angrily smashed my phone
” nooooo why
” sorry sir…
” but i know their license is out .. we are still winning
” no sir,the prosecution just delayed the lock down
” what
” look.
he previewed the screen and Malcolm watched as a.g.h.c successfully moved everything from the old hospital to the new one. Malcolm almost fainted.
” shit!!! Anna fooled me. Anna is too smart. She won’t get weak .
Anna’s pov
I did it. i defeated Malcolm alone. we are back with no losses. Thank God..I coughed again and wiped my lips. The same blood. I guess it is just stress. I turned to my team
” congrats guys … we did it.
everybody clapped
” enjoy your coffee now.
a new tray of coffee came in. I buttoned my shirt and wore my jacket. God I almost ran mad in there. Rachel picked my stuffs and I stormed out. Ryan please be calm with me when you come home I don’t have strength to fight with you please i beg you.
Tonia’s pov
hahahaha our time is over. Anna couldn’t do it.I turned to the crowd of investors in the hall.
” as you can see, time is up and no preview of the new hospital has been sent. This means only one thing Anastasia Alexandra Grande failed .
is it not time we removed that little girl and find a competent leader within ourselves before Grande group fails… cos right now Grande is sick and if Anna couldn’t do as much as to buy a hospital then she is useless.
I looked around and the investors were nodding and whispering to themselves. I smiled.
just then Anna made a conference video call. All the investors turned to the screen with keen interest. Everyone wants to know what she had to say.
” good day
” Anna talk about the hospital
“yes we want to hear about the hospital
“did you fail or did you progress?
Anna smiled
” congrats ladies and gentlemen.let’s welcome the new a.g.h.c.
Anna moved away from the screen and the new hospital previewed. All investors started clapping. Anna defeated Malcolm today…. I was so embarrassed. I angrily ran out of the hall…
Anna’s pov
Meanwhile I already arrived at Ryan’s house I don’t have the right to call it home anymore. I hastily took my bath and applied my cream.. I tied my white towel around my chest. I swear today was really stressful. I wish Ryan can just give up on Clara the way I gave up on Tony… we will make this work.we will be happy I swear cos none of us hate each other.we can do this I know. I stood up and picked my night gown. just then Ryan walked into the room. Ok no wonder I heard greeting sounds outside. I tied my towel tighter..
he looked at me quietly for a while and dropped his bag
