A couple of hundre people were standing outside a 20 story high glass office building in central Olsen City.

There was a large emblem above the front entrance of a broken block with a snake carved in it and had the worlds Marble Developments Corporation engraved in it as well

Mayor Jonathan was cutting the red ribbon standing next to Robert Spears, Marble Corp founder who was a tall balding man and quite built in a flash black suit

The Mayor said a few words then cut the ribbon. after that Robert gave a speech about progress, growth and development and new jobs and oppourtunities in Olsen City and when the time comes Marble Corp will expand beyond the city limits and the national border

the people on the street applauded. Eric Kent who was a local journalist was reporting at the scene. getting an article ready for tomorrow's news paper. He had to beat the 6 o'clock deadline. so he had 8 hours to write a story before the paper went to print. This was no problem for him he was the best the Olsen Daily had.
Personally he didnt know what to make of this Robert Spears. Eric has moved into Olsen from New York in 2000 after he quite working for the New York times in place for a more easy job at a smaller local news paper. This was after Robert's term as mayor.

He had heard stories of blackmail, corruption and embrezzlement from Robert while he was mayor but choose not to pursue them for his own security. Besides he sensed the public liked him and so to appeal to the reader he had to follow the publics opinion.

Marble Developments Products were quickly filling shelves in the store for the first time. brought in from a newly built Marble Corp factory in the southern part of Olsen (which provided more jobs for people)

A new ad was appearing on TV all over Olsen City.

Local Beauty and celebrity 23 yearold Jennifer Davies wearing a beautiful silk gown sitting in a marble hall on a glass chair with her blonde waving hair down by her shoulders

She then pouts her lips. It then shows quite snips of her applying the new "Marble Cosmetics" some lipstick, eye liner with her Naration in the background

"Marble Cosmetics gives me the greatest glow of beauty that I've every felt and seen and now every woman can feel the same glistning glowing beauty with Marble Cosmetics, Home grown in Olsen City" She then does one more sexy pout and stands up from the glass chair and does a spin

A message then flashes up about the Product and the ad finishes
........................................................................................

The Marble corporation was desperate to expand as fast as it could. 10% of the news paper was dedicated to Marble Advertisements. 2 new Billbord spaces had been leased in Downtown Olsen City for two large Billboard commercials and the Jennifer Davies ad was the newest move in getting to the Public the Marble Developments corporation.

Already the company was a massive hit in Olsen City. Robert Spears was after all the former mayor twice (1980-1984 and 1992-1996) and had quite a public image and charisma and was popular. Now that the towns most popular celebrity was now onboard with endoursing Marble Products more people were set to join Marble or become supporters of the Organization.

Even the media was not capable of pouring negative news over the company, The Local meadia anyway. For 2 reasons.
#1 the company was very popular giving jobs and promising prosperity plus of their popular CEO and the paper or article would not be recieved well by the public

#2 Robert Spears was extremely influential and powerful and can have anybody's name dragged through the mud until they are entirly discredited and shut up
