LUNA

Chapter 3

Vincenzo Greco

" Mr Maxwell are you telling me the news we heard in Milan is not true"I asked Mr Maxwell as I entered his office , I went straight to his desk so I can seat on his chair.

"Absolutely fake information Mr Greco"he stuttered as he followed me.

"So if we go to every Greco stores here in America every goods there are being sold at the same price as it being sold anywhere in the world" I smirked at him

"Yes Mr Greco"

"Mr Maxwell sit down " he hesitated first before taking his seat " My grandfather hates dishonesty, my father goes mad at people when they are dishonest and do you what I do to any dishonest staff of Greco Inc Mr Maxwell?"

I didn't expect him to answer the question because he is a dishonest man.

My father asked me to come down America after we found out that the American stores price of goods were being tampered with. So here I am in the Greco Inc regional headquarters in America .Mr Maxwell oversee all the stores in America.

At first my father thought it was a*****e manager that was changing the price list , but when we found out they were more than 4 stores, we knew were the problem was from.

"I sack them Mr Maxwell and I make sure they suffer" Mr Maxwell was already sweating on his seat " so for the last time are all the goods in every Greco stores sold at the same price?"

"Yes sir " this bastard thinks am bluffing about going to every stores to check.

"Ok no problem can I use your office phone to contact your secretary?"

I picked up his officephone and asked the secretary to ask the people outside to come in.

2 minutes they all marched in with polythene bags filed with goods from all the Greco stores here in America

"Thank you gentlemen, you can place them on the table there", I pointed at the long table close to the door all the 9 men followed my orders " and you guys don't have to go yet , because you will help me to clarify somethings with honest Mr Maxwell"

After they placed all the polythene bags on the table I asked Mr Maxwell to stand up and take a walk with me to see the goods.

" So my personal assistant and my personal chauffeur here went to different Greco stores in here in America to buy some party supplies and cleaning supplies, let's see what they discovered. Alex and Mateo hand over your receipt to me"

After studying the two receipt

" Mr Maxwell these receipts are 200 dollars different" I handed him the two receipts " have the two receipts Mr Maxwell"

Mr Maxwell was already shaking where he was standing " Mr Maxwell you can have your sit, I can see you can't stand the wave " Mr Maxwell quickly sat on the nearest chair that was beside him

I pointed at two of my body guards as they came forward with the polythene bags in their hands

" Liam and Henry can you display your items and your receipts too "

They gave me their receipts as they bring the same items out of the polythene bags " Mr Maxwell, Liam and Henry also went to a different store to purchase same jewelleries and footwear and guess what Mr Maxwell these receipts are a thousand dollars different, isn't that on a high price? "

I handed him the receiptss too

" Should we continue Mr Maxwell ?"

"No please " he cried out " what do you want Mr Greco?"

I smiled as I signal to my personal assistant to escort everyone out so Mr Maxwell can talk ,before my personal assistant left I told him to send a message to every stores manager here in America that a promotion must take place tomorrow for every customer who buys any goods with their Greco pay card buys it 50 percentage off.

After they all left .

"Mr Maxwell I want you to issue an apology letter to all the customers of Greco stores, you didn't steal from the company , you stole from those people Mr Maxwell, Do you know my grandfather opened Greco stores so that goods could be sold at less prices, so you owe them an apology and that should be done at different and popular radio stations, three will be ok and 2 television stations will be ok . And after doing that I want you to drop your resignation letter first thing after you apologize "

"No you can't do this to me "

" I just did Mr Maxwell and if you fail to do it we will take legal action against you. And it won't be Greco Inc against you Mr Maxwell. It will be the people of United states against you "

with that I stood up from his office and left .

Greco Inc. an Italian multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets, discount department stores, and grocery stores, headquartered in Milan Italy. The company was founded by grandfather and he passed the mantle of leadership to my father when he was sick my grandfather had dementia and had to retire early.

Greco Inc also owns and operates various clubs and warehouses

Greco Inc has 20,500 stores and clubs in 32 countries, operating under 60 different names.

My father is the current chairman of Greco Inc , while I am the president and CEO. My family is one of the most respected family in Italy and in Europe at large all thanks to my grandfather

"Alex we are taking all the goods we bought to an orphanage home, just ask Google for the nearest orphanage home" I said to him as we left the America headquarters

"Ok sir. " Immediately he took his phone and searched for what I asked him to do

" Luna orphanage home is 6 kilometres from here sir"

"Luna orphanage home is it" Mateo my personal chauffeur nodded his head and drove to the Luna orphanage home.

Luna Orlando

As I got to the orphanage home parking lot, I saw a lot of cars parked outside. Seeing a lot of cars parked in the lot is not a new thing for us. But the cars are expensive and of the same brand.

The first thing that came to my mind was that papa is here, but I know that was a false hope, my father can never spare his precious time to visit the orphanage. He only sends gifts but never comes here .

I saw a space in the carpark then I parked my car and brought out the things I bought for them.

When I got inside the orphanage home Mrs Anderson the orphanage home manager ran to me.

Happily she said "Good to see you luna"

Oh no papa is here, that is the only visitor that's can make Mrs Anderson look so happy like this.

"Good day Mrs Anderson"

"Thank goodness you are here today, you can help us thank Mr Vincenzo and his men , he came around today, a first timer to the orphanage home and he brought varieties of items"

"Mr Vincenzo" I pronounced the name in a thick Italian accent "hmm an Italian" Mrs Anderson nods her head

"Let's go and thank him", Mrs Anderson said as she directs the way to the big parlour we designed for the children to receive guests.

When I entered the parlour I saw many men in black in suit playing with the children, some men were carrying the younger ones while the others engaged in talking to them .

"Mr Vincenzo meet luna, luna built the orphanage home" Mrs Anderson Said to a man who was carrying a boy.

A tall man turned around, I guess he is Mr Vincenzo. A tall muscular body man, his eyeballs are blue, he wore a dark expensive suit.

Well who do we have here

I walked close to him so I could thank him

"Mrs Anderson told me about the things you got for the children, thank you"

"Don't mention " his deep accented voice said to me.

Goodness just listen to that voice

"My name is Luna, am so pleased to me you Mr Vincenzo"

"Same here Miss Luna"

"Call me Luna please "

Hmmm

"Only if you call me Vincenzo"

"Vincenzo , you are an Italian ?" He looked at me when I asked him " am sorry but your name sounds like an Italian name "

"Yes am an Italian and are you an American?"

"Italian, but spent all my life here in the United states of America"

"That explains the mixed Italian and American accent" he said and we both smiled at what he said.

"Don't let me take you away from these lovely children, I have some few things to do in my office and you might have gone by the time I am done, So let thank you again.

Thank you so much Mr... Sorry Vince"

You called him Vince, luna

He smiled at me

"We plan on spending enough time with them maybe go back in the Evening since we don't have anything planned this evening " he said

"Spend as much time as you please"

You stay as you want Vince, just don't go without dropping your contact

With that I went to my office.

I finish signing the documents and checks I came to sign in the office. Part of the documents are what will keep the orphanage running for next 5 months when am in Italy, documents like the children grocery file, game file and also what they will need for the next few months .

I called Mrs Anderson into the office So i can speak to her, after telling her my plans on going to Italy and giving her the documents with the check I assigned for each files, I told her if the orphanage needs extra expenses she should not hesitate to call me. After that I left the office and I noticed the men in suits were not there again.

I only saw the children who were looking at their gift with smile on their faces

I thought he wants to spend time with the children.
