ATLAS FALLS DECEMBER 1980
Lowell stepped off of the elevator of the new DGI building. Regan was absolutely correct America was the greatest country on fucking earth. Tapping his foot on the ground he turned to look in the mirror. His face was looking absolutely fucking perfect. Hell he knew that his team that he put together had done amazing. Tomorrow the company would go public and he had a few things to handle tonight though. Tonight he would show all these people whom he Lowell had deemed betrayed him who the hell he was. Lowell had put them all together for different reasons. Walter was a genius with technology, Harvey’s international connections were strong, Pierre was the best accountant in the world, Forbes mind in business rivaled his own and Gloria was the toughest woman he’d ever seen in business. He trusted her with his life and she had given him the information so it was time to strike before the snakes bit him. Looking down the table he saw Forbes conversing with Harvey, Pierre speaking with Gloria, Walter and Jackie. One of Gloria’s new lawyers was right by her side, Julian O’Sullivan. He walked to his wife and cleared his throat. As he saw everyone sitting down. “How do you all like the new office?” He asked rhetorically knowing everyone was impressed. They went from an office at a stripmall a couple of years ago to this. Walter’s tech had taken them far but his vision was about to take his family to the next level.
“Tonight we go public at twelve o’clock and our annual Christmas party will be bigger than ever before. The powerful of Atlas Falls and the country will be attending to see us the way we see construction, oil, technology, and fucking real estate will make us the rich men in America. The goal is not to conquer one field but all. Make a brand so powerful that everyone knows it’s name DGI is here gentlemen and tonight the city will glow with those letters on top of this very building. But you’re wondering where do each of you sit power wise right? Ten percent. I’ll retain eleven of course, making us the strong hold and giving us the power. Tomorrow we change the game like we’ve been doing since the beginning of the decade. We did it tonight is all about reaping the rewards. Smile I just told you all you’re fucking millionaires.” Raising his hands theatrically and clapping he saw their faces. They were shocked and all elated the pain of tonight would hurt even more. When Louise arrived with a bottle of champagne he smiled. “To us, to DGI.”
Forbes leaned back in his chair staring at Harvey then his eyes shifted to Gloria’s shock and unease. Whatever was going on that bitch had a clear part of this. Ever since he came on board of DGI he saw how Gloria was fighting to be Lowell’s right hand. She truly disliked Walter and he but she was too fake and passive aggressive to ever blatantly open her mouth and say it. Tony was a fool to marry that woman because she was a snake. Jeremiah Beecher was also her lover and he was disgusted with the Delacroix family as a whole. The woman clearly was wearing the pants and Tony was cooking. It was laughable but Lowell wouldn’t stand for her betraying his prized friend Tony. Their friendship was confusing and maybe he was crazy but he felt Gloria was holding something over Lowell’s head. Or she had placed something in his head. Watching Lowell fucking pretending to be king, when all of there connections and power had gotten him to the top. Was a hard pill to swallow but what was worse? Knowing his fucking wife was fucking the pompous fuck. Audrey and he were having problems but Philip had changed that or so he thought. The feelings of inadequacy that he felt was explosive. The jealousy that ate at him, because of all of this should have been his. He should have a wife like Jackie who wouldn’t dare betray him. His lip quivered, fighting back the emotion to not snap Lowell’s neck.
“Toast, to you Lowell the man who has brought all of this together. Turning us from mere men in the world of business into Gods.” Forbes swallowed the champagne with fury. Standing up he walked to Harvey and patted his shoulder. “I do hope you remember our conversation earlier about what’s next. We always should be looking forward, don’t you agree Lowell? What is next after Walter’s tech changes computers and technology as we know it. What’s next Lowell?” Forbes asked curtly but not giving him time to respond. “I guess we will all find out when another one of our ideas has your name on it. I’ll see you all at the party.” Forbes said walking out with the champagne flute in hand as he walked down the hallway of the new DGI he threw it against the wall as he walked to the elevator.
