Chapter 97: Once In A Lifetime Opportunity
"Rob! Rob! Rob! You are a hard man to catch," Rob’s stockbroker smiled brightly and moved into embrace him.
"Graham," Rob searched a bit and remembered the man’s name.
"Rob, you wouldn’t believe what day I have been going through. This day is the stuff of nightmares. I have been inundated with calls from morning till now. That’s why I wasn’t able to meet with you earlier," Graham Carter said in an overly familiar tone that made Rob frown inwardly.
Graham Carter was the kind of man who grew up on the streets and became a successful stockbroker. He was slick with people and had good conversational skills. However, that side of him was only shown to people who had money.
If you didn’t have enough value, Graham Carter wouldn’t even give you a second glance. Rob had experienced this prior. When Rob wanted to invest in IndiSoft, Mr. Walker had recommended Graham Carter as he was good with stocks.
Initially, Graham had been enthusiastic about acquiring Rob as a new client. He extolled his achievements and talked Rob’s ear off for more than an hour. However, when he learned that Rob was only investing a measly sum of $30000, his attitude began to cool off.
When he learned that Rob was planning to hold the stock for the long term, Graham finally had enough and started showing the cold shoulder to Rob. Since Rob didn’t know any other stockbroker and was in a hurry, he hadn’t minded his attitude at that moment.
Even Mr. Walker wasn’t completely satisfied with Graham. He only recommended him as the timeframe Rob gave him was really small for him to find another stockbroker.
To see such a person talking to him so familiarly, almost made Rob roll his eyes. But, he controlled his emotions and gave him a small smile. Rob had also noticed that Graham’s eyes would occasionally rove over Dacey’s figure causing her to feel a little uneasy.
"So, Graham, what did you want to talk about so urgently? As I said, I have something important to do," Rob said getting straight to the point.
He didn’t want to spend too much time in this man’s vicinity.
"Something more important than becoming a millionaire?" Graham chuckled as if he had heard a big joke and almost smacked Dacey’s thigh in the process, only for Rob’s hand to intercept his smack.
