Jeff’s newly hired lawyer rushes into the lifts, he presses on the doorbell aggressively. Time is running out. He dashes into Jeff’s offices out of breath. He had just completed the revision of the funding documents that Eden had prepared and spotted the consequential detail.
”Sir, you have no idea what you just signed. This clause in the document means that the investment needs to be repaid back twofold.”
“What? How is that possible?”
“Respectfully Sir, you have been tricked!”
“Are you serious? No way…”
Jeff’s eyes scan to the point of the document where his new lawyer is pointing at. A deep sense of dread and regret creeps up.

“I am going to phone those tricksters and make them pay!”
Jeff phones up Ken’s company on the office telephone, but deep inside he already knew that little can be done. He may have to accept the eventual consequences of their initial agreement. He slams his hand down angrily on his desk. “Unbelievable!”
“And from a company of their reputation, no less!”
Jeff cannot believe his bad luck. The agreement has already been signed and set in stone. Now he has to perform and keep up his end of the agreement. It is really a bad deal that he has to repay one hundred percent over the initial investment. He might have signed the worst deal in corporate history.
The latest board meeting is coming up, and Jeff is sweating bullets over it. He knows that if he is to reveal this crucial detail, his position will be gone. Therefore he tasks every one of his closest confidants to keep mum. Unbeknownst to him, his rival is already standing at the doorstep. He has heard his every word. And he is determined to get the very position Jeff has worked so hard for.
