Chapter 6 - Grant Brags About His Fictional Business Empire Dominance
Inside the sprawling museum ballroom, crystal chandeliers cast brilliant reflections across polished marble floors and white-clothed tables.
Grant stood near the VIP bar, holding court with a group of senior banking executives from Miami Commercial Trust.
“Holloway Meridian Group has never been stronger,” Grant lied smoothly, gesturing with his crystal glass of scotch.
“We’ve expanded our real estate portfolio by forty percent this quarter alone, largely due to strategic private funding.”
One of the senior bankers raised an eyebrow, taking a slow sip of his bourbon before responding cautiously.
“We heard your primary capital injections come from Bellamy Holdings... that’s an exceptionally secretive corporate entity, Holloway.”
Grant chuckled dismissively, waving a hand as though managing a multi-billion-dollar fund was a trivial afternoon pastime.
“Bellamy Holdings knows solid leadership when they see it. They trust my vision implicitly,” Grant bragged with arrogant confidence.
“In fact, I’m personally acquainted with their senior executives; we practically share a unified operational strategy.”
Across the room, Delaney flirted shamelessly with a prominent hotel developer, soaking in the reflected prestige of Grant’s false claims.
