What's next?
You get a worrisome call
Later that evening you decide to take your gf Courtney for dinner. You have known Courtney was your neighbor since you high school. You've known her since she was a little girl with a pony tail to this beautiful teenager she was now. She was a year older than you always helped you get acclimatize to the culture here in UK since your move.
She was just a little shorter than you, and very athletic body herself as she played hand ball. She had long black hair and quite a curvy figure.
Just as you enter the restaurant you receive a call from an unknown number.
"Hello, this is Alex"
"Hi, Rachel here. Hope you're well."
"Yeah, I'm good. What's up?"
"So we have your medical reports and there are things we need to discuss."
"Oh is it something to be worried?" You ask with concern.
"Not quite, but it's better if we meet and talk. Where are you now? I'll have you picked up."
"I'm actually out for dinner with my gf. Should I just rather come to the office tomorrow?"
"I think it is important we discuss this tonight."
"Ummm okay. I'm at the Meridien,"
"Okay. You'll have a car pick you up in 5 minutes. And one more thing, don't tell anyone where you are going or who called. This is important."
"Sorry babe, this is important. Call from the agency and I need to be there," you say to your gf apologetically.
"Of course, babe. Do what you need to. Give me a call when you can," she says as she kisses you and takes a cab for herself home.
You see a really fancy car waiting outside the restaurant waiting for you. It is quite a luxurious car with a mini fridge inside that you decide to ignore for now.
You're taken to one of the finest hotels in the city. As you enter you're escorted to a suite you see Rachel sitting there in the room in the same formal clothes you saw her in the morning along with a couple of other men both seem to be foreign.
"Thank you so much for coming in Alex," Rachel greets you with a firm handshake.
"So, is there something concerning about my medical reports?"
"No, your medical reports are fine. In fact we've never seen an 18 year old with such physical features. We're very impressed,"
"That's cool, so what's next then?'
"Well next step would be that you'll be called in tomorrow to sign a contract with Ian." Rachel says as you are barely able to contain your joy. "But before that happens, we need to talk to you about something," Rachel replied in a serious tone. "I'm going to tell you something and you need to keep this confidential. Tomorrow Ian will give you a contract and if you walk in the room, rest assured he will persuade you to sign in. What you will regret later is that contract will tie you in for a period of 15 years. And he will own all the cards for your career and will make insane money in commissions."
You listen as all this starts to worry you.
"I'm here to offer an alternative. I've been working behind the scenes to gather talent and along with some of the people from Elite we will be looking to buy start a different company of our own, and soon enough buy out Elite. These men are our investors and we have a lot of power financially. We wish to change how things are done. We want the players to be in control. And as a proof of that, here's the contract I'm offering you. Please read it, but I'll need you to make your decisions quick."
"But whats that got to do with me?" You ask puzzled.
"We've already amassed a group of talented players to begin our company, but you're the future superstar of that group. With you part of us, we would have enough confidence from some of the existing managers in ETM to join us."
You sit there confused as what to do unable to think of the next words.
Everyone is sitting there patiently waiting for your reply. Rachel hints at the investors to leave and they do.
"Listen, I know this is a very difficult decision. But you can review the contract and see that the only things different from one Ian presented you are clauses 4 and 5 where we've kept the length of your contract flexible and given you the autonomy to chose. Ian is losing power in the company, this will happen one way or the other, sooner or later. He's not going to be the super agent that sucks the life out of his players for long."
What do you do?
