A Taste of Deception
Episode 1
Nicholas Sparks is the heir to the mafia clan Sparks, the third most powerful mafia in the country
He's the oldest of three siblings, Nathaniel and Sabrina
All three of whom are insanely successful
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
Dude! You really need to think of something! because at this rate our clan is gonna be a target before we know it
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
Do you think I don't know that?! I'm trying okay!
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
But since that scandal our reputation is hard to manage!
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
I know...I swear we really need better security here. how did those spies enter this easily??
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
Enter
manager
*enters* boss. I think I've found the solution
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
Yes that is it?
manager
it's in the best interest of us if we made a partnership with a company
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
What company are we talking about?
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
Regarding that. I've made a list
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
The top ten most influential companies in this country
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
A partnership with the bottom five could revive our clan. And a partnership with the top 5 could even land us a profit of billions
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
Billions you say...
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
what's the top company on your list?
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
*checks* ZMR Holdings
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
ZMR Holdings is a chain restaurant, hotels and bars expanding all 50 states and even some locations in Europe and Asia
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
Wow... should we aim for that?
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
who's the CEO?
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
that's the thing boss...we don't know
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
What do you mean you don't know? Such a big company and you don't know the name of the CEO?
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
it's not like that. he's not in any articles or papers or billboards...I tried to do some digging but everything is sealed tight
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
People say that he doesn't like being exposed to the public so he does everything remotely. His public appearances are handled by his secretary
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
Interesting...the idea I'm getting is that it won't be easy to get in touch with the CEO...or make a deal...
manager
Boss should we start from the bottom of the list?
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
how about this...? we start from No. 5 and work our way up to one
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
*smirks* I have a better idea...let's start with 1 and work our way down
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
But boss it's gonna take very long...and the company is known for not making partnerships that easily...
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
And I'm not known for aiming low either
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
Begin the paperwork
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
And let's go on a field trip to ZMR Holdings and see what it's all about
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)
Should I arrange transport sir?
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
Yeah... do it
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
we'll go this evening and have a drink...
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
So I assume I'm coming too?
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
Of course you are you idiot
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
Should I phone Sabrina too?
Nicholas Sparks (ML)
No...let her be. you know she doesn't drink nor does she like to leave her house
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
Alright then see you this evening
Episode 2
Nathaniel Sparks (MLs brother)
Damm...now I know what the hype is about...
Daniel Luke (MLs assistant)

Nicholas Sparks (ML)
