The Partnership

Summary:

A business owned by family members.
Limited Liability. Not required to publish audited annual reports.

Partnership.
Noun.
A business run and managed by two people.
Unlimited Liability. Conflict of Interest.

There were only two ways for a private company to get to the top of the food chain: to win its way to the top, or to form a Partnership. There was only one way to form a Partnership between two private companies: marriage of heirs.

>> Based on the prompt by writing.prompt.s on tumblr about Person A sneaking out the night before their arranged wedding and bumps into someone else who looks like they're sneaking out too.<<

Notes:

Hey! So this is the format of my writing or whatever.

1. The POV will change with each chapter. So if it's on Annabeth’s POV in chapter 2, then Chapter 3 will be in Percy's POV.

2. I'm trying to write in the "Eye of God" style writing. Please be understanding. I do welcome constructive criticism, though.

3. I update often but in short chapters of about 400-900 words, average.

4. Feel free to comment your thoughts on certain topics in the story or any questions at all. I'll answer as quickly as I can.

5. I get all my business-related information from my Commercial Studies textbook. But this is an AU - the author controls what goes on in their universe.

6. Support me! Tell me where my grammar sucks! Tell me where my dialogue is crap! Tell me where the story is getting boring! Tell me everything! I'm trying to grow as a writer and I would LOVE to read about what you think of my writing.

Thank you for choosing to read this!

In the world of business, there was no such thing as freedom, agency, and non-benefitting alliance. Every move was to be a calculated one. Every choice needed reaffirmation. Every relationship was kept strictly ethical.

A business was only in existence for two reasons: for their customers and for the profit. A business could not function without either of these. The Going Concern Concept saw to this: that a business would continue to operate for an indefinite amount of time unless and until there are signs of liquidation.

There were only two ways for a private company to get to the top of the food chain: to win its way to the top, or to form a Partnership. There was only one way to form a Partnership between two private companies: marriage of heirs.

All of these things developed the values and morals that raised Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson.
