As he finishes the order, a wry trademark smirk appears on his face unable to hide the small pleasure he has granted himself. He looks up from the screen, out the window of his office into the warming sunlit manono morning, where construction has already started onsite. Beautiful he briefly thinks to himself while re-fixing his eyes to the finished order onscreen, "the shareholders will love these when we hand them out at the meeting" he beams. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a flash, at least that's what he thought he saw, but it was definitely too small to be one of the construction workers, Shaking his head "must be those rats".
He rises majestically and walks through to reception to see Jonno "Hey Jonno, get off the phone mate, you on twitter again". This was like a spark to dry tinder, an Jonno is off on one "Boss, those slimy, piss-ant, snake-like twats think they can steal from us the DRC people and from AVZ by using a few corrup..." The boss cuts him off, "I know mate, I know, look these guys are playing checkers while we are playing chess, an on this board I'm king" at that very moment a beam of sunlight illuminates him from behind making his top half glow, while passing by was a construstion worker blasting -The boss by James Brown "paid the cost to be the boss.."
Jonno smiles, this kind of coincidence happens all the time round here. "Anyway Jonno, as I was about to say, I just saw another bloody rat, a big one this time, too many rats around AVZ lately lets call in the pest control alright mate", "too easy boss, consider it done" Jonno was already on his phone so in a flash he was arranging a visit.
It was about time for his usual walk around site and to say hi to the workers, he liked to do that it showed the men he cared and also let them know he was also looking to keep to a timeline - the shareholders across the country have a little pisstake about that but this time he is all over it like corruption in comminere. Just as he was about to head back, "whoosh" the flash again in the corner of his eye, this time he caught a better look as it scampered off towards the proposed pit area, he carried on back while saving a mental picture for the pest control.
"Hello Nigel, I am Antoinette I understand you have a pest problem on the tenement here", "pest problem thats a fucking understatement miss, these cum-stains have been looting and pillaging for years with unpaid promises and lies, a pest problem, nah more like a cun..." Nigel cuts off Jonno just in-time, "Thanks Jonno mate, I've got it from here" with a warm hand on the shoulder and a cheeky wink toward Jonno. With phone in hand Jonno heads off to reception, he hasn't checked twitter in 15mins, theyād be more trolls to smash by now.
"A pleasure Antoinette, have we met before", "Its highly likely, we have had had a real uptick in dangerous pests since the new owner took over the company, I have more shit on my plate than a morbidly obese American" Antionette replies with a determination in her voice that he had to admit slightly aroused him.
"Well this pest is clearly dangerous, I caught a better look at the bugger earlier today, larger than I thought, its over by the pit now" Nigel informed Antionette.
"Ok thats good, how big would you say ?" , "Oh this bastard was big, ugly, and mean looking I'd say easily about 34Billion market cap US" Nigel confidently reported. "Ahh, if its the one I'm thinking of, this shitter is a real pest with a real bad attitude we have had multiple issue with it" Antionette states wearily.
They arrive at the proposed pit and sure enough down in the mud digging and scooping up as much ore as it could was the large pest void of integrity, covered from head to toe in mud yet while throwing mud everywhere it could in all directions, hungrily quarrying ore and pushing it into a large duffel bag. Nigel could just make out the writing on the bag 'Boatman Capital Research', bloody hell he can see the poorly constructed bag was straining under the pressure, its falling apart at the seams. The large rat was visibly distressed, which quickly changed to a ferocious fury at the quality of the bag. To which Nigel did wonder, why such a poor quality bag when your so big ? an then all of a sudden in the heat of its brain haemorrhage it realised it was being watched.
"Hello again" Antoinette bellowed towards the rat, "You wont get away this time rat, you are mine now" a large grin engulfed Antoinettes heroic face. The rats eyes widened with fear as a warm pool of piss cleaned its mud covered feet..........
*Jesus sorry didnt realise how long this was, if you made it this far give yourself a pat on the back lol
