Chapter Six

The next few days are both crazy and exciting.

I played Pac-Man when I was a kid. The ghosts would chase me around until I got a pellet and then I would turn around and chase then, eating them up. I’ve never done the Pac-Man move in business though. I’ve never had to, until now.

On the first day of my plan, we start with a Dawn Raid. As soon as the stock market opens in the morning, I purchase a substantial number of shares in Felt Enterprises. By the time Toby Felt realizes what’s going on, I’ve already built a substantial stake in his company.

The next day I communicate my cash tender offer to his stockholders, offering a generous price over and above the market price.

By the next day, he’s calling to negotiate.

I don’t really want to buy Felt’s company, but I can, and he knows it. He also knows that he cannot pursue my company and try to keep his own at the same time. I did my homework, so I know he’s spread too thin.

By the time I’m done with him, the only thing that’s left to deal with is Carole.

When I invite her to my office, I can tell from the sound of her voice on the phone that she thinks she has won. When she saunters into my office, her smile tells me that she believes I have no choice, but to capitulate to her demands.

“David darling,” She breathes, rising on tiptoe to kiss me on each cheek.

I suffer her attentions, waiting until she steps away from me and takes a seat.

“So have you reconsidered my offer,” She crosses her legs, a triumphant smile dancing on her lips. “I don’t have forever, you know.”

“If I remember correctly,” I reply, “I made you an offer as well. I offered to buy your shares.” I pause, “Have you considered my offer?”

Carole laughs. “How like you to take a hard line even though you know I hold all the cards, David.” She shrugs. “I’ve given you an easy way out. You can give me what I want, or I’ll give Felt what he wants.”

“And just to be clear Carole, What you want is marriage, to me?”

“Yes.” She squares her shoulders, and then looks down at her fingers. “I want a ring David, no pre-nup of course, those are so unromantic.” She pauses. “Give me your word and I’ll tell Toby to go to hell.”

I start to laugh. I can’t help myself.

She springs up from the chair, her air of calmness and complacency gone in an instant and replaced by a barely disguised fury. “Unless of course,” She says angrily, “it’s true that you’re married?”

I consider her face for a moment. Her eyes are narrowed, and her lips on the verge of a snarl. The precautions I took could not have kept my marriage quiet forever, but what does it matter now? She doesn’t know it yet, but I have her in a corner.

“I am married.” I lean back in my chair and watch as her face goes livid.
