Toivo walked up and down in the dark office, gripping his mobile phone tightly. Viljo, sitting at the desk, gazed blankly at his laptop screen. The news that their company was almost bankrupt had been a big shock, but they didn't know that it was false information cleverly spread by Antti. Toivo's voice shook as he spoke.

"Viljo, this can't be right. There must be some mistake. Our company was doing really well just a month ago!"

Viljo rubbed his forehead and sighed, "I know, Toivo. But look at these numbers. The figures don't lie. If this information is true, we're finished."

Toivo stopped walking and looked at Viljo, his eyes filled with worry. "But what can we do? We've worked so hard to make this company. We can't just let it fall apart!"

Viljo leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. "I don't know, Toivo. I just don't know."

Just then, Antti came into the room, pretending to be worried. "Gentlemen, I've just heard the same awful news. I'm really upset, honestly. But maybe there's something I can do to help."

Toivo looked at Antti, hope appearing in his eyes. "What do you think, Antti?"

Antti smiled, "Well, I've been thinking about this for some time, and I'm ready to buy your shares in the company for a small part of their original price. It won't save the company, but it might make your personal money problems a bit better."

Viljo frowned. "Why would you do that, Antti? You'll lose money too."

Antti shrugged. "Call it loyalty, or a feeling of responsibility to my partners. We've been through a lot together. It's the least I can do."

Toivo's worry took over, and he quickly agreed. "I'm grateful for your offer, Antti. I'll take it."

Viljo hesitated, feeling that something was wrong, but in the end, he gave in to his own worry. "Alright, Antti. We accept your offer."

Antti tried to hide his happiness as he shook hands with Toivo and Viljo. "Gentlemen, I'm sorry it's come to this, but I hope my offer helps you a bit."

With that, Toivo and Viljo signed over their shares to Antti, deciding their fate and unknowingly helping Antti's revenge plan. They didn't know that the financial problems they were scared of were a carefully planned trick by Antti himself.
