Chapter 141
Romeo
I got to Brad’s office at 10 am, I walked straight up to his office a few people tried to stop me but when they saw who I was they quickly stepped back when I got to Brad’s PA, she didn’t even try to stop me she just looked down. She probable thought she will take Brad’s screaming but not mine. I walked into his office Brad was on the phone, he looked up and looked angry because yet again I just walked into his office without being announced. Clearly that is a new thing for him. I heard him saying “I need to go I’ll call you later.” Then he put the phone down. “Don’t you have manners?” He asked me “No wonder my daughter is talking back to me since she’s with you.” I wasn’t going to take the bait I’m here for business nothing else. “I’m here to talk business Brad and I did make an appointment.” “Fine sit down.” I took a seat and took the papers out of my briefcase. “What is that?” “Proof of the people who is using your company to launder money and proof of the bank account the guys are stealing from you use.” “How on earth did you get that.” “I have resources Brad.” “Show me.” I got up and took the papers to him behind his desk. “See here on your bank statement you see that amount; it doesn’t go anywhere except right here.” I showed him the statement of the bank account the fucker was using. “It could just be a coincidence.” “Okay fine and here?” I showed him. He didn’t say a word. “And here, and here and here? You still think it’s a coincidence?” He got quiet and didn’t say a word. “I just can’t believe it.”
“Well let’s get to the guy that launder the money through your company?” “I don’t know if I can take more of this Romeo, I don’t even know what to do with the one that’s stealing from me.” “Well Brad, I’ll fire him.” “His worked for me for years I can’t just fire him.” “For fuck sakes Brad you saw his bank balance his been stealing from you for years. If you don’t fire him I will on behalf of Jennifer.” “You wouldn’t?” “Believe me I’m not leaving this building until we have fired both of them. You can make this easy on yourself or you can make it difficult. You can have me in your office only for a few hours or the whole fucking day Brad, it’s all up to you.” “Fine show me this money laundering thing.” “This is a bit more complicated.” “I’m sure I’ll keep up.” “Fine.” For the next 2 hours I was trying to explain to Brad how this one guy was putting money through his business and how his withdrawing them again. Brad was quickly to say he will keep up but I had to explain it to him a couple of times. Eventually he got up and went to his PA, I heard him telling her to go and get us 2 Italian sub sandwiches as well as 2 strong lattes. Clearly, I was staying for lunch. “Show me again.” “Really Brad it’s difficult but not that difficult.” “If I’m going to fire two of my top guys today, I need to be sure.” Okay he was actually taking this seriously. I started again showed him the spreadsheet where the money was coming in and when the money went out and to who it went out to. “Fuck I can’t believe they where doing all this under my nose I don’t want to fire them Romeo I want to beat them up.” “I totally understand Brad but just fire them for now.” “What do you mean for now?” “Nothing just fire them.” I can’t tell him I will be keeping an eye on them from now on. Our sandwiches and coffee came and we actually sat and enjoyed our sandwiches and coffee without arguing probable because we didn’t speak about the wedding or Jennifer. It felt like I was having lunch with the old Brad the one from Uni not the fucker I saw yesterday. We actually talked about the old days as well and laughed I couldn’t believe I was laughing with Brad the same Brad I wanted to punch, kicked and at one stage I was thinking of getting rid of him permanently but here we are talking about the good old days. After lunch Brad’s attitude changed again and called in the two from finance. “You want me to stay?” I asked because I was sure he would want me to leave. “No stay if they try to bullshit their way out of it you can show them the evidence.” “Okay if, you are sure.” “I am.”
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door “Come in” Brad said. The two men walked in looked at me and then back to Brad. “Enzo, Rick take a seat.” I could hear Brad was angry and upset I really hope these two can hear it to. “Mr. Bianchi here is going to take over my business, his marrying my daughter.” There were words of congratulations and then a confused look on their faces. “He went through our books and saw a few things that was disturbing.” Brad got quiet probable giving them time to say something but both just kept quiet. “Nothing to say?” Brad asked. “No boss not sure what you want us to say.” Rick the money launderer said. Brad was just taking to long I still have other meeting this afternoon.
“Well gentleman I saw one of you were stealing from Brad’s business and the other one was laundering money through the business.” Both looked at each other with pure shock looks on their faces. “We would never.” I walked and stood against the desk right in front of them. “Both of you are fired and you won’t receive any money or any letters of recommendations. Your work life is done.” “But we didn’t do anything.” Rick said “Please don’t insult my intelligence. I’ve got evidence and your bank statement Enzo of all the money you have in an off shore account.” “How the fuck” And there he slipped. “I told you don’t lie to me. You have a chose I can get security to escort you out, my bodyguard can do it or you can walk on your own. If you still want your dignity.” They looked around me “You really going to allow this Brad?” Enzo asked. “Yes, get out or I’ll get security to escort you out.”
