CHAPTER 1
"We have a responsibility towards the planet, mankind and its problems. The challenge we face as a society is more threatening than a nuclear war. Therefore, we have a social responsibility to protect future generations form this catastrophe. Gentlemen…" Felicity holds up a small purple capsule between her thumb and index finger presenting it to the board "the world's only hope for erectile dysfunction. When love isn't enough"
"Bring on the bubbly!" Iris shouts as they make their way to the party to celebrate the new 'purple pill' contract for Forte Pharmacy.
"I thought they were going to pass out." Felicity laughs.
"Well it worked didn't it and you did it Lis! You clinched the biggest contract in MOJO history. Now it's just a matter of time before MOJO is out of financial trouble."
As they enter the doors for the party, the whole MOJO team is clapping and cheering.
"Congratulations with the biggest contract in MOJO history!" Danny says as he picks Felicity up and swings her across the room. "Marry me?" he says and puts her down.
Felicity laughs at his antics "Dude, have you forgotten? I'm married to my work."
Iris hands Felicity a glass of champagne.
"Lis you deserve this so enjoy this and bask in the glory."
"Speech! Speech! Speech!" everyone screams and Felicity wrinkles her nose, but gets on a table behind her so everyone can see her.
"Thank you everyone. I still can't believe we actually did this. No one thought our small little company would be able to pull this off, but now MOJO is representing one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Starling City, Forte Pharmacy!"
Everyone in the room cheers as Felicity gets off the table.
"I'm so proud of you!" Iris says as she links her pinkie with Felicity's.
"Through thick and thin my friend."
"Through thick and thin." Felicity answers back as they clink their glasses together and celebrate their new achievement.
"It's just so utterly degrading that a rookie like you could waltz into my company, take over and rip everything I've worked for to shreds." Mr Anderson says as Oliver stands and looks out the office window of Anderson and Associates.
"I'm so sorry for bruising your ego Mr Anderson. I hear there's medication for that sort of thing." Oliver says.
"I think arsenic would have been a better option for you Mr Queen." Mr Anderson spits out.
"Look Mr Anderson, with this settlement, you and your children would be able to retire and have a very comfortable life." Oliver stairs the older man down and says in a very low toned voice "Sign."
Mr Anderson looks at Oliver in disbelief, takes the pen and signs the paper in front of him.
"Queen Consolidated now owns 73% of Anderson and Associate's shares." Barry says stepping closer to Oliver.
"Ah, the smell of a successful take over and that all before 7 pm." Oliver smirks
"Goodbye Mr Anderson."
"Our encounter was anything but a pleasure Mr Queen. I've given my life to this company." Mr Anderson says.
Oliver nods "Well in that case, thank you…..for your life." and walks out of the office.
Barry leans over to Mr Anderson and takes the paper in front of him "that's why in this industry he is known as 'The Jackal.'"
"Yes I am very well aware what they call him Mr Allan. What I'd like to know is however, how do you sleep at night?"
Barry just smiles "Well, I'm a lawyer, so first on the one side and then I turn over to the other side."
Mr Anderson gets up from his chair and storms out of the office.
Barry just winks at him and looks over the papers with a big smile.
