Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 87
Olivia knew, if until the withdrawal of investment is done simultaneously and suddenly, then the company will really fall to the lowest point.
But if until the investors intend to withdraw their investment, it means that the problems of the company are not playing games.
It is impossible for investors to withdraw their capital, if there is still a possibility, that the company will return to normal.
Thus Olivia can guess, that Angelo does know a lot, will problems faced, and occur in Andersen's company.
"Angelo...! Can you tell me in detail, what exactly happened to Andersen's? Why would investors withdraw their capital?" ask Olivia, a little bit of a squeeze.
"Andersen's "data was revealed to the public, indicating that the company had committed a deviation of funds. It's only in one branch office....
... And of course there is a possibility, if the same thing also happens in other branch offices. Thus, just imagine the amount of funds being manipulated," Angelo replied.
"According to the information I got, the data circulating is indeed true, and can be proven validity. Well then, you must know how it works, right?
...Of course there will be the possibility that their assets will be confiscated, if they are indeed proven guilty....
...Panicked market participants, and resale Andersen's shares on a large scale, will certainly make the stock price plummet....
... That way, who would be too brave, to risk his capital in the company, which will most likely *delisting due to bankruptcy?" continued Angelo.
(*the official removal of issuers from the stock exchange, so that the shares cannot be traded back in the capital market)
"But I don't think Andersen's Construction could have done the things that were alleged to have done" Olivia insisted.
"Olivia...! You admire that company too much ... So you can't judge it objectively anymore" Angelo said.
"But—" Olivia could not finish her sentence, because Angelo interrupted her immediately, saying,
"You knew? Companies that seem to be fine, it is precisely that which usually keeps a lot of depravity in it....
... I don't intend to vilify Andersen's name, because the investigation is still going on. But I'm just saying it, based on experience."
Because of her conversation with Angelo, Olivia really felt worried, with Johan and Jericho.
The company that they had been trying to maintain and develop, was most likely going to collapse right now.
"You don't have to think too much about it. Because it's not what you can do" Angelo said.
Olivia was silent for a while, while thinking hard.
"I might not be able to do anything. But you can! ... You can help Andersen's survive, while the check-up takes place" Olivia said.
"Nrt! ... What do you mean, you want me to keep Sullivan's investment group in that company?" ask Angelo.
"Yes ... You can do it, right?" sahut Olivia's.
"Olivia...! You know, if that's still not enough. Unless I have to disburse more funds, to buy Andersen's shares....
... And what about the risk? We cannot make decisions, if only based on faith. Without a detailed analysis, we can confirm it" Angelo said.
"Huuufft...!" Olivia grunts violently.
Olivia could not imagine how disappointed Johan and Jericho would feel if their company went bankrupt, just because of the incident of data leakage, which is still confusing.
"Olivia! Honey...! Do you really feel that confident, that Andersen's not in trouble?" angelo asked, suddenly.
"Yes ... Sure thing!" sahut Olivia, excited, because of the possibility that Angelo will help Johan and Jericho.
"Hm ... Okay! ... Well, then, what if we both make a deal?" angelo said, suddenly.
"What agreement?" ask Olivia, confused.
"I'm going to risk Sullivan's group's ability to help Andersen's Construction, until this matter passes....
... But there are conditions. I want you to promise me that you will marry me when Andersen's back to normal" Angelo replied.
"Ugh...? Did I not hear wrong?" asked Olivia, who could not hide her surprise.
"Yes ... Of course you can think about it first. But your chance to think, just for today. I'll keep Sullivan's investment in Andersen's, waiting for your answer....
... You know, don't you? If the inspection in a company, it can last for a long time. There's no way you're asking me, to take such a big risk, without sufficient motivation, to be my consideration" Angelo said.
"Oh, gosh!" olivia. "Do you think you can be happy, if you marry someone, who doesn't love you?"
... But it certainly won't happen, if you still have the chance, to be approached by someone else" said Angelo, who appeared to insist.
"I still have faith, that you will definitely fall in love with me again, if you just look at me....
... Because I once made you fall in love, and I can definitely do it again, like in the past," Angelo continued.
"Angelo...!" olivia said, in a clear voice.
"Your deadlines to consider it will run out, an hour before the stock exchange closes, and while you think, you have to keep going with me....
... I'll take you anywhere you want to go" said Angelo, keeping his stance.
Olivia wanted to go see the situation at the office, but she was really tired, and sleep deprived, so she felt quite sleepy at the moment.
Thus, it feels useless, if he goes to the office, then uses his brain that can not concentrate properly.
"I'm so tired ... I was traveling from the city xx, and just arrived this morning" Olivia said.
"You're back in your hometown? With who?" ask Angelo.
"Angelo! ... Don't ask too many questions! My head hurts already" said Olivia, ketus.
"Then we go to the hotel where I'm staying. You can sleep there" Angelo said.
"No ... I just want to go back to my apartment" Olivia said.
"Olivia! Honey...! I will do nothing to you. I just miss you, because these few days I can't see you....
... Can't you give me a chance, even if it's just to watch you sleep? I had just given Andersen's time" said Angelo, winking one eye.
"Oh, please! ... Just take me to my apartment" Olivia said.
"Nrt! ... Well then, I'll reduce your deadline to four hours, before the closing of the stock exchange" Angelo said.
Apparently, Angelo actually used his way of doing business, to try to conquer Olivia.
Olivia clearly felt reluctant, to rest in the hotel room where Angelo was staying.
But when imagining disappointment in Johan's face, it felt, Olivia really did not have the heart, and wanted to help him as much as possible.
Although only to buy time, in the hope that there will be a little bright spot, which makes Olivia do not need to accept Angelo's offer, so that the man will help Andersen's.
"Caterina! ... But don't do anything stupid! You promise?" olivia said, make a deal.
"Yes, honey! ... Promise me!" sahut Angelo's.
***
Upon arrival at the hotel room where Angelo was staying, Olivia immediately fell face down on the bed, while Angelo sat nearby, reading the sheet of paper she was holding.
Not long ago, Olivia had fallen asleep there, and when she woke up again, Angelo was still in the same sitting position, as before Olivia slept earlier.
But this time, Angelo seemed to pay attention to the display of the laptop screen, which was on top of his lap.
"You're awake? You fell asleep very fast" Angelo asked, rubbing Olivia's head, as Olivia moved, and sat on the bed.
"Let's see this! ... Andersen's shares are in freefall!" said Angelo, while sliding his laptop, so that Olivia can come see the look.
Oh, gosh!
Olivia couldn't believe what she saw.
As if, although Sullivan group still survive in Andersen's, but the influence is still not enough, to withstand the fall of Andersen's stock price.
"Honestly, I am now hesitant, to continue the agreement I offered you earlier. Because this situation is too risky" continued Angelo, scratching his own head.
Olivia looked at Angelo, not knowing what else to say, to the man.
"Don't look at me like that! ... You're just freaking me out" said Angelo, smiling, and stroking Olivia's cheek, slowly, before Olivia brushed her hand away.
"Oh, yes! ... Your phone just received a phone call. If I don't see it wrong, Sir Johan Andersen called you....
... It looks like you are close enough to Sir Johan that you can communicate through a personal number connection with him" Angelo said.
