A Trilogy "Against the Odds" Book 2

Presentation Day

Can was not surprised to see Emre show up with his Father. He comes to the main Agency twice a month to handle the financial reports and update any new information. Yes, he did some online but still had to do somethings in person. Can and Deren were very confident about this presentation for this Cosmetics Company. This was one area Deren knew well. They set everything up in the Conference room and now just had to wait for the owner to come. They met his wife already because she was the one that originally came to Firka Harika and was told that her Husband would be attending the presentation as well.

Aziz walk in with the owners. Introductions were made and they took their seats so the Presentation could begin. Mr & Mrs. Volkan were liking everything so far. Even Aziz was impressed that they had hit this one out of the ball park. He had put this presentation on the top of the list that's how good it was. When Can and Deren finished they stood there waiting for Mr Volkan's response. He rose from his seat and began to applaud, his wife then joined in as well as his Father. "I like everything. You two did one hell of a great job and is now on the top of my list. I am so impressed with this by what I have seen you put a lot of hard work and many long hours into this. I have one more Presentation to see this afternoon. I will make my decision then. We will definitely be in touch. Aziz took the Volkan's to his office to sit down and catch up.

A while later after Can and Deren filed everything in the archive room. He went to join his father in the office. As he walked down the hallway he heard laughing coming from the office. Walking in there sat Aziz with Mr & Mrs Volkan over by the couch. He went to sit down at the desk to do some work that needed to be caught up on. Emre came in handing Can some reports. "Sons, Enzo and I go back to our College years. We met there and became close friends. Can, kinda like you, Metin and Akif. Unfortunately, life got busy with our children and opened our businesses. We lost contact and here we are."........"So, does this mean we got the campaign?" questioned Emre. Can shoved his arm as Aziz gave him a raised eyebrow which meant you really didn't have to say Emre. "Maybe, but since you all are here I would like to discuss something.".......Aziz goes over to close the office door. "I really shouldn't tell you this, but yes you have the Campaign. It is only fair that I go hear this other one this afternoon. This is something that cannot leave this office."......."You have our word Enzo. What is it?" Aziz said. Can, I met with Sanem on Monday. I really honestly didn't know who she was until I heard her last name and then that's when I question her before I left. Finding out she is married to you and Aziz being her Father in Law." Now Mr. Volkan at this point had Aziz, Emre and Can's full attention. "Yes, she told me she had a meeting with someone and would talk to me about it when I return home"........"I made a proposition to her." Enzo proceeded to tell them everything that he discussed with Sanem. Listening to every piece of the information that was thrown out. "Are you kidding me" Aziz asked to make sure he heard it correctly. "YES Aziz! I'm as serious as that door knob on your door" Can sat there leaning back in his office chair. "Look Mr & Mrs Volkan! Sanem has been through so much in her lifetime that began in her early years. She had been abused, used, taken advantage of and she is now beginning to heal and put it behind her. Needless to say I have been put through the ringer myself. If you are doing this to fatten your wallet and take advantage of her you might as well get up and work out of this office.".......Aziz and Emre sat there in agreement with what Can had said. "Don't fuck with my wife or you will have hell to pay"........"Please calm down! I am not doing this to fatten my wallet. My wife and I saw potential in Sanem's product and we just want to help and see her succeed. I have more money that half the time I don't know what to do with it. I am offering to help her. I don't want any money in return. I just want to invest in it to get the business up and running for her. You need to trust me in this. I repeat I DON'T WANT ANY PROFIT. I don't need any more fucking money period!"..............the office was quite as the Divit's thought about it "You three have my word. In fact I will get my lawyer to write up a legal document."........."You do that, and we will have our Lawyer read it over and make sure all the i's are dottd and the t's are crossed." Can replied "Where is this factory Enzo" asked Aziz ........."Here in Instubal not far from this Agency. It has all the equipment that Sanem will need. It is not being used at this time since I have moved mine to a new location. The machine have been fully cleaned, maintained and ready to use."......"And where are these so called workers that you said you had"......"Aziz, some are working elsewhere at the time being. More will have to be hired. This means a lot more jobs will be available for those that are unemployed"........"OK, Mr Volkan this is what I will do and I am sure that Dad and Emre will agree with me and back me up on this. You are probably not aware of this but, I have some intense police background. I will go home and wait to hear Sanem tell me all of this. In the meantime, I want a list of these workers so my Father, my Brother and I can do a full background check on them. I will also do one on you and your wife. I WILL NOT play any games. This is Sanem's decision with me fully supporting her. If she agrees to do this, finger prints will be needed by each employee. Needless to say a contract will have to be signed. Her products are very important to her and the formula to each product is top secret and lock up in a safe. And I will do anything to protect her and keep those formulas from being exposed. You have until Wednesday to get me all this information. That way if she wants to go ahead with this we can begin the background process."........"OK, I can do that for you."......."Enzo, my daughter-in-law mean the world to us. We have been friends for quite sometime. People change and with us being disconnected all this time. You my friend better prove you can be trusted and not fuck Sanem and Can over. Or I personally will hunt you down myself".......
"Aziz, Can and Emre. I will not fuck you over. You have my word. I will also get that legal document to you so you can have your lawyer go over it to. Now I must get going we have a presentation to attend." They all walked Mr & Mrs Volkan to the entrance and as they were getting ready to walk out the door he turned and said "By the way, we are looking for property or a private Island in your area. If you know of anyone that is selling please let me know"........."We will! And we will definitely talk soon have a good afternoon" Aziz said as they left the building.
