You must still be catching your breath from losing to me."Marcus, defensively, retorted, "That was a fluke, and you know it. I'll beat you next time."Eden, adding to the tease, chimed in, "And let's not forget the land auction. Didn't Dion outbid you there too, just by a hair's breadth?"Dion, with a mockingly sympathetic tone, said, "It's tough luck, Marcus. Maybe you should reconsider your strategy.

Let's create a list of shareholders and a schedule for our meetings."Eden, opening a document on her computer, responded, "Agreed. I've compiled a preliminary list of key shareholders. We should prioritize meetings with the larger stakeholders first."Dion, reviewing the list, nodded, "Good. I'll reach out to some of the major investors personally. Meanwhile, you can schedule meetings with the smaller shareholders."Eden, typing away on her computer, said, "I'll set up a detailed schedule, taking into account their availability and preferences. We want to approach this with a personal touch."Dion, leaning over the desk, added, "Absolutely. Building a rapport with them is crucial.

As they got home after a busy day, Eden teased, "Looks like I've been here for ages. Maybe it's time for me to leave."Lily, looking up with big eyes, said, "No, Mommy, don't go! I want you to stay."Dion, joining in with a smile, said, "Lily's got a point, Eden. We're not letting you off the hook that easily."Eden, pretending to be surprised, asked, "Oh no, am I not welcome anymore?"Lily, earnestly, said, "You're always welcome, Mommy. Please stay."Dion, adding to the charm, said, "Yeah, Eden, we make a great team, the three of us."Eden, moved by their words, couldn't resist the genuine appeal.
