"Eddie," Eddie answered, shaking Harry's hand.
“How about chatting at that cafe? "It's a bit embarrassing to have to talk about so many things while standing like this," Harry offered, pointing to a cafe located in the row where they were taking shelter. Eddie nodded.
Harry then smiled and walked first towards the cafe, followed by Eddie from behind. Arriving at the cafe, Harry chose to sit in a chair in the corner of the room. As the two of them sat down, a cafe waitress came to give them a menu. When Eddie saw her face he knew that the cafe waitress was Bianca, and that was proven to be true from the name tag the girl was wearing. Eddie knows Bianca, she is Eddie's next door neighbor. However, her job is not as a cafe waitress, Bianca is a young businesswoman who owns the biggest salon in Eddie's city on earth.
Eddie looked at Bianca, Eddie was not mistaken, she was indeed the Bianca that Eddie knew.
"What is it? Is there something wrong with my f
The room filled with the sound of applause. Everyone seemed pleased with the presentation delivered by Eddie."A splendid presentation by Mr. Simon! After this, we'll take a short break and return in thirty-five minutes to find out who will get the opportunity to lead this grand project!"The MC's announcement made Eddie smile with satisfaction, feeling one step closer to victory and defeating Frank. From the front row, Bianca was seen clapping enthusiastically for Eddie.As everyone began to step out, Bianca ran towards Eddie and hugged him tightly."I'm so proud of you! You were amazing and cool, Eddie!" said Bianca."Thank you, Honey. I couldn't have done it without your support. Everything I've gone through is clearly because of you.""Well, well, a sweet display from such a perfect couple!"Eddie and Bianca turned simultaneously to the source of the voice coming from their right, seeing Frank approaching with a broad smile."Bianca, how are you?" asked Frank in a friendly tone.H
Eddie and Bianca made their way to the backstage area, leaving the crowded hall and Frank's smug presence behind. As soon as they were out of sight, Eddie exhaled heavily, trying to calm the storm of emotions brewing inside him. Bianca squeezed his hand, offering silent support."He's insufferable," Eddie muttered under his breath, his jaw clenched."I know, but we have to stay focused," Bianca replied softly. "This project means everything to us. Don’t let him get under your skin."Eddie nodded, taking a deep breath. They had worked too hard to let Frank's provocations derail them now. The next thirty-five minutes passed in a blur of nervous anticipation. Eddie and Bianca reviewed their notes, going over every detail of their proposal, ensuring they were prepared for any question or challenge.Finally, the announcement came over the intercom, calling all participants back to the hall. Eddie and Bianca exchanged a determined look before making their way back inside. The room was abuzz
After the applause died down and the event concluded, Eddie, Bianca, and Jessica found a quiet spot to reflect on their journey. The past months had been a whirlwind of challenges, victories, and growth. Eddie couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the people who had supported him."Can you believe how far we've come?" Eddie asked, looking at Bianca and Jessica.Bianca smiled warmly. "It's been an incredible journey, Eddie. And it's just the beginning."Jessica nodded, her eyes bright with hope. "I can't thank you both enough. Without your help, I don't know where my father's company would be right now."Eddie shook his head. "You were strong enough to ask for help, Jessica. That takes a lot of courage. We were happy to support you."As they left the event, Eddie couldn't shake the feeling that there was still unfinished business with Frank. Despite their recent successes, Frank's underhanded tactics continued to cast a shadow ove

They organized industry workshops, shared knowledge, and built a network of support that strengthened everyone involved. The environment shifted from one of cutthroat competition to one of collaborative growth.Eddie often reflected on the journey. From the intense competition to the unexpected alliance with Frank, it had been a rollercoaster. But through it all, he had learned valuable lessons about resilience, integrity, and the power of collaboration.One evening, as Eddie and Bianca sat in their office, wrapping up another successful day, Eddie turned to Bianca with a smile."You know, I couldn't have done any of this without you," he said, his voice filled with gratitude.Bianca laughed softly. "I think you underestimate yourself, Eddie. But I'm glad to be by your si
The next few months were filled with intense work, new projects, and a growing sense of camaraderie among Eddie, Bianca, Jessica, and even Frank. However, beneath the surface, tensions began to simmer. The pressure of maintaining their success and the constant challenges of the industry started to take a toll.One evening, Eddie received an urgent call from Jessica. She sounded distressed, and Eddie immediately knew something was wrong."Eddie, we need to talk. Can you and Bianca meet me at the office tonight?" Jessica's voice was shaky, and Eddie could hear the anxiety in her tone."Of course, Jessica. We'll be there in thirty minutes," Eddie replied, his heart pounding with worry.When Eddie and Bianca arrived at the office, they found Jessica pacing nervously. She looked up as they entered, her face pale and drawn."Jessica, what's going on?" Bianca asked, concern etched on her face."It's Frank," Jessica said, her voice trembling. "He's

The press conference was a turning point. With their names cleared and the public rallying behind them, Eddie, Bianca, Jessica, and Frank felt a renewed sense of purpose. But they knew the road ahead was still fraught with challenges.In the days following the press conference, the team received numerous messages of support and congratulations from colleagues, investors, and industry leaders. However, they also noticed that Jeremiah had gone silent. Eddie couldn't shake the feeling that Jeremiah was planning his next move.One evening, Eddie called an emergency meeting at their office. The atmosphere was tense as they gathered around the conference table."We did a great job exposing Jeremiah, but I have a feeling he's not done with us yet," Eddie said, his expression serious. "We need to stay vigilant and prepare for whatever he might throw our way."Bianca nodded. "I agree. We can't let our guard down now. We need to reinforce our security measures and make sure our project is airti
As the celebratory night wound down, Eddie and his team felt an unspoken understanding among them—a renewed commitment to their vision and to each other. But despite their recent victory, Eddie couldn't shake the feeling that Jeremiah's parting threat was not empty. He knew they had to remain vigilant.The next morning, Eddie called a meeting. The atmosphere in the conference room was one of determination mixed with caution."We did great exposing Jeremiah, but we can't relax just yet," Eddie began. "He's not the kind to go down without a fight. We need to keep our eyes and ears open for any signs of retaliation."Jessica nodded in agreement. "We should also reach out to our partners and stakeholders to reaffirm our commitment and reassure them that we are stronger than ever."Bianca added, "And we need to enhance our security measures. Jeremiah has shown he can be devious. We can't afford any more surprises."Frank, ever the pragmatist, spoke up. "I'll handle our internal security. I
