After I officially divorced Sydney, Doris transferred her remaining shares to me. I became the largest shareholder and the de facto person in charge as I now held 46% of GT group's shares.
Due to the new development, the shareholder resume was officially updated and as expected, my networth soared. The public caught a whiff of it and I received a wave of interview reviews from TV stations, newspaper
publishers and journalists always were always on the standby for whenever they would catch me outside.
My position in GT group was now grounded and was not tied to anyone but I knew I still needed to be careful and watch out for those who might come together and to sell their sticks to one person among them just to watch me go down.
When the requests would not stop coming in, I finally instructed my
assistant to respond to one of the interview requests and inform them that I had accepted the request. I chose the most famous economic TV channel. That way, everyone will get a bit of what they wanted to know.
I also gave them a condition, I made it crystal clear that I would not accept any question about my personal life. If they dared to try it then their TV was going to go into oblivion. They accepted my condition and I gave them the date of the day that I would have a chance to take time out for the interview.
I prepared for the interview and finally, the D-day began. It was a live session with the host and the audience. The audience consisted of several other news TV channels, papers and journalists. The interview began. I was introduced and I gave my greetings and
expressed my pleasure at being hosted by them. Just the usual pleasantries to show the public that I was not an asshole.
The first question the host asked me was, “Mr Mark Torres, would you like to give us a snippet of your future plans and goals of GT group?"
"My goal for Gt group is greater heights. I plan to lead GT group to an even greater height than it is now and the shareholders would be

our group," I answered succinctly.
The host nodded. "Are there any specific plans you've got laid out?"
I shook my head, "Of course. Nothing can be achieved without a plan."
There murmurs from the audience. The host also nodded, "You're right." Then he asked with a smile, "Do you mind sharing some of these plans?"
With a lopsided grin, I wagged a finger at the host. "I see where you're going, man.”
The audience and the host burst into laughter at my response.
"That's our business secret though, I can not reveal that," I said after everyone had sobered up. "But one thing I can reveal and tell you is that you might want to buy more of our group's stocks before it skyrockets," I announced confidently.
The room was filled with another bout of laughter from the audience and the host shook his head.
"So, Mr Mark, what advice would you give to those looking to invest?"
I smiled at the crowd, "I will advise anyone looking to invest to do their research, understand the company and the industry - whichever company or industry it may be. Understand what you're about to pour your hard earned money into. You see, investing is a long-term endeavor and it requires patience and determination." I spread out my arms, "Of course, I would also suggest investing in our company, as I believe our group can bring a new future to our shareholders."
The audience applauded me admirably as they laughed. Amid the laughter and applause, the host and I concluded the interview.
k you so i
Mr Mark Torres," he shook my hands. "Thank you for gracing our news channel with your presence."
"It's my utmost pleasure," I grinned.
"Any last word for the audience?"
