Arrival
William's P.O.V.
I rubbed my temples in irritation.
"Listen Mr.Stark the price I'm asking--"
Business was never something I enjoyed. Sure I was very involved in my father's business,I mean it would be mine within the next twenty years, but I hated it. It bored me. For example I was currently flying thousands of feet in the air in my personal jet FaceTimeing the CEO of a tech business who was trying to get us to buy out his company. Now I'm not going to lie my father, Pepper, and I all want it but the CEO was screwing us on the price.
"No listen here Mr.Mancer The only reason you are contacting us is because you are broke and on the verge of having to shut down."
I looked away from the computer unlocking my phone, not looking at anything in particular, trying to create the illusion that buying his business meant nothing to us.
After a few moments I looked back at the screen and saw that he was flustered and dumbfounded. Meaning my illusion had taken hold.
I leaned back in my chair and put my feet up. "Listen since we are generous people at Stark Interprieses. We'll overlooked the fact you tried to screw us on our price and still buy you out at,"
I pursed my lips and made the impression I was thinking but I already knew what I was going to offer him.
"Fifty percent what we originally offered."
"Fifty percent," Mr.Mancer responded. "B-bu."
I shook my finger at the screen.
"No...no buts, fifty percent and I need your answer now or we resend our offer."
His face began to turn red and his hands balled into fists.
"Tick tock," I said tapping my watch.
"We- we would be glad to accept your offer."
I smile, putting my feet down, leaning closer to the screen. "I'm glad we could do business with you. My people will call your people shortly."
I closed the laptop letting out sigh.
"Congratulations on the buy out Mr.Stark." Friday said pulling my brain back into the current setting.
I looked up at the ceiling of the plane. I'd always look up whenever Friday talked it was less werid than talking to a wall.
"Thank you Friday, could you send Pepper and my father a message letting them know I closed the sale?" I stood up from my seat grabbing a drink from the cooler. "And please stop calling me Mr.Stark that's my father."
"Of course William message is sent."
I waved my hand over the glass bottle I had, watching the light blue wisp circle around it popping off the cap, before I sat back down taking a drink.
I let out another sign rubbing my eyes. It had been awhile since I'd slept and I hadn't realized how exhausted I was until just now.
"Friday can you dim the lights? I'm going to try and get some sleep before we land,"
"Of course William,"
Seconds later the lights dimmed leaving only the moonlight to illuminate the plane.
"Thank you," I muttered leaning back into the chair closing my eyes
"Sleep well William, I will wake you when we arrive,"
