Payback
Third Person POV:
20 hours after Stensland was voted in
After the fiasco at McKernon, Y/N goes back to his penthouse
He ignored everyone ever since then, except Peter, who tried to calm him down
Mainly, Y/N felt like beating Stensland and Tanner to a pulp. This is why he's in his in-house gym punching the bag listening to some Wu-Tang
He even ignored Hailee's messages.
Truth is, he felt like a failure and he wasn't used to it
Like his father, Y/N just wants to win
As Y/N unleashes his frustrations on the punching bag, Hailee, Liam and Greer arrive at the apartment and come upstairs to the gym
Y/N: I don't wanna hear it.
He said while punching the bag once again
Hailee: Griffin told me. I'm so sorry...
Y/N just shakes his head
Liam: You might want to hear this, though.
Y/N: If it's not an obituary showing Jonathan Stensland and Travis Tanner names, I'm not hearing it.
Liam: It's better.
Y/N stops punching the bag
Y/N: Go on...
Liam: McKernon Motors is for sale.
Liam hands him some documents regarding the whole situation
Y/N: Holy shit...
Y/N gets an idea
Y/N: Haiz, I need you to go talk to your brother, okay? Tell him I can get his old job back and we can stick it to Stensland. Liam, you're coming with me.
Liam: Where are we going?
Y/N: I'll tell you on the way.
After a couple of minutes, Y/N gets changed
He gets closer to Hailee and kisses her
Y/N: I'll be back in a couple of hours.
Hailee: Go get'em.
He leaves the apartment with Liam and Maximus
Greer then grabs her phone and shows Hailee an Instagram post
Greer: Did you see this?
Hailee: Shit...he looks good.
After that, Hailee goes to see her brother in the flagship factory
She sees Griffin there with a wrench on one of his hands messing with an engine
Hailee: Why are you still working?
Griffin: I helped create this engine here. My first time in the factory...what do you want, Hailee?
Hailee: What would you say if I told you we could get your job back and stick it to Stensland?
Griffin: I'm done with Y/N and his ideas, okay? He doesn't care about anybody but himself...including you, Hailee. You might think he's different just because he's got a degree from Harvard but he's just like the other jackasses you've dated in the past.
Hailee decides to raise her voice to her brother
Hailee: You don't get to say that...you don't know shit about him! He stuck his neck out to keep the company here and he saw potential in you. And now he has an idea that requires your help. So, you can stay here and call him an asshole or we can help him.
Griffin sighs and get up
Griffin: Fine...let's go.
Meanwhile, in the Hamptons...
Liam was sleeping on the passenger's seat with Maximus on his lap while Y/N drives
Y/N: Yo...wake up. We're here.
Liam: Where? You didn't even tell me, dude.
They pull up next to a big mansion and exit the car
Liam: Who the hell lives here?
Y/N: You'll see. Bring the documents
He rings the doorbell and an older man answers it.
Lawrence: What are you doing here? Nobody knows where I live.
Lawrence Stroll, father of Y/N's fellow racer Lance, owner of Aston Martin and of course, multibillionaire
Y/N: I do. And this is why you're gonna listen to what I have to say...McKernon Motors is for sale.
Lawrence: McKernon? Are you sure?
Y/N: I'm positive...look at these documents. The underlined parts.
Minutes later, they're in the mansion sitting on the living room's couch while Lawrence analyses the documents after Y/N explained him the whole situation
Lawrence: 250 million? I'll need to see their financials.
Y/N: You put together a letter of intent, they'll get you the financials.
Lawrence: You know, the asset is engine quality. I don't want to just buy the brand.
Y/N: I completely understand. And keep those documents, Mr. Stroll.
They shake hands and Y/N leaves the massive house with Liam and Maximus to get ready to return to Manhattan and interrupt the meeting that will ratify the sale of the factory
McKernon Motors offices, Manhattan
Tanner and Stensland are in the same meeting room from yesterday. This time, they're accompanied by the board of directors reading the docuents to sell the factory.
Tanner: Each of you have 24 hours to review the documents in front of you. So at this time...
The door is opened and in come Y/N, Liam, Griffin and Peter
Jonathan: Uh, excuse me...what are you doing here?
Tanner: Let me take care of this.
Jonathan: No...I will. You gentlemen have no right to attend this meeting.
Liam: Actually, we do.
Y/N: The bylaw states that any original employee has the right to petition the board any time they meet. Griffin Steinfeld has assigned that right to me.
Jonathan gets up from his chair
Jonathan: He was fired! He no longer has that right.
Y/N: Per section 17-5 point C, Griffin wasn't given three days notice. So...technically, he wasn't fired. Which is why I have the right to urge the board to accept the offer for the purchase of McKernon Motors. Now, I can tell you this offer will keep manufacturing here and saving jobs, yadda yadda. But I really don't have to...'cause it happens to be for way more goddamn money than the one in front of you right now.
There is murmuring in the room from the board members talking
Y/N: Oh and one more thing. Tanner, you're fired. The future owner of McKernon Motors thought they could use an honest council. I think you'll get that call tomorrow.
Y/N winks at his father's old rival
Later that day, Y/N and Hailee invited their families plus Liam and Greer to a celebration dinner in Y/N's penthouse
The adults are sitting by the table while Olivia plays with Maximus, Brando and Martini
Peter: It's funny how you held out on us with that proper notice thing, Y/N.
Y/N: I didn't hold out. I made that up on the spot. A wise man told me a raging bull always looks at the red cape, not the man with the sword.
He looks at Harvey and winks
Harvey smiles at his son
Griffin still looks a little guilty from the things he said to Y/N
Griffin: Hey, umm...Y/N. I'd like to...
Y/N: We're good. I'm just glad you get to be CEO and still be a drag racer too.
Cheri: We're very thankful for what you did, Y/N.
Y/N: Oh please...I couldn't do this on my own. Liam here was very helpful...right bro?
Liam: Absolutely.
When dinner ends, Donna offers a little tour of the penthouse for Cheri and Megan while the others hang around different places of the huge apartment
They enter a trophy room, full of Y/N's medals from martial arts tournaments anr trophies from his karting days
They also see some signed basketballs, courtesy of former athlete clients of Harvey's
Megan tries to inspect it, but Donna calls her out.
Donna: Oooh...don't touch that, please.
Megan: Sorry.
Cheri looks at Donna with a confused look
Donna: Signed by Patrick Ewing. Harvey will know and I'll never hear the end of it.
Cheri smiles and points to another basketball
Cheri: What about this one?
Donna: Bird.
Megan: Oh come on, he's from Boston.
Dona shrugs
Donna: White man's hero.
The three share a laugh and have some more champagne
Hailee's POV:
After the guests leave, me and Y/N are now by ourselves in the living room
I still don't know if I should tell him about Ella...I mean Mick's his closest friend in F1
Y/N then says something to snap me out of my thoughts
Y/N: So...you guys are leaving tomorrow?
Hailee: Yeah.
During dinner, dad said we'd be coming back to LA tomorrow since he had no more businesses here in the Big Apple
Y/N sighs
Y/N: Goodbyes are the hardest parts.
I then cup his face with both my hands
Hailee: Hey...it's not a goodbye. More like a "see you later". I'll be in Miami for your race, silly.
He chuckles and slides his hand down to my thigh
Y/N: If we're gonna be like this without seeing each other, then we should...y'know,
I laugh
Hailee: I agree.
He smiles and picks me up with his strong arms before taking me to his bedroom and spicing things up
