Kriti was not shocked that the manager yelled at her. She was expecting that, in fact, if anyone were to be in her shoes, they would do the same thing. It was bringing shame and disgrace to the channel, and if the matter was not taken care of, the channel might be removed from the company.

She left the manager's office to the room again. The commercial break was over, and she had to finish what she had started.

She walked slowly, with her head hung low, back inside. She could not even look at the faces of the people inside.

She took a seat, and the moderator looked at her.

"Are you ready?" She asked.

She seemed to be the only person who understood her and did not judge her completely.

Kriti nodded slowly, and took the mic again, pinning it to her cloth.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Castle Channel 001! We are back again on the case of Abhi led by one of the news reporters, Kriti." The lady announced, turning to Kriti, "What do you have to say, ma'am?"

Kriti cleared her throat and

    Even after the broadcast was over, Arjun's eyes remained fixed on the television. Kriti's sudden confession had caught him off guard. Her admission would have far reaching effects, even though he respected her bravery. Turning away from the television, he sighed deeply and said to himself, "Let's see what happens next." His daydream was cut short as the phone on his desk buzzed. Akash had texted, "Emergency meeting in the boardroom. Today." With thoughts still racing about the day's events, Arjun took his notes and left his office.---When Arjun arrived, the boardroom was tense. The other important team members, including Akash and Meera, were already seated, their faces showing resolve and concern. Akash signalled for Arjun to sit down."We all saw the broadcast," Akash began. "The game has changed because of Kriti's admission. We need to review our approach and figure out how to navigate this unfamiliar terrain."With a grave look, Meera leaned forward. "Public perception is going

    “Sir, now that we know who it is, what's our next move?” Kriti asked.“We invite him over and entertain him.” Arjun replied, in a rather firm tone.A confused expression split Kriti’s face, “What…what are you-”“Sir, they're hacking into our systems and you're suggesting entertainment. This is quite surprising sir.” Rahul, Arjun’s longtime p.a said.Arjun swung in his office chair from side to side, “Calm down Rahul. Don't always jump to conclusions.”Arjun fixed his eyes on Kriti and Rahul who sat across his table, “I wasn't done talking.”Kriti's face expressed relief, “Oh.”Arjun continued to swing in his chair, “Now as I was saying, I'm very well aware of how much damage Zayd is doing by hacking Nexumcore but I've got something else installed for him. By ‘inviting him over and entertaining him’ I didn't mean that literally, I meant I was going to put before him a good offer.”“An offer?” Both Kriti and Rahul chorusly asked.“Yes. But it's not even going to be directed to Zayd per

    Jai's confidence went flat. “What do you mean I can't go in?” He asked with a frown.The security officer smiled warmly, “Don't misunderstand me sir. I'm saying you can't go in because that's not the way to the lounge. I've been informed of your arrival and I knew you would take this route since you didn't know your way around and that's why I said that.” The security officer explained.Jai's frown disappeared, “Oh, alright then. Show me the way.” And with that the security officer started walking, rounding the building and stopping in front of a smaller building that was still attached to the company. Jai walked with the security officer, oblivious to the media around. He assumed they were just casual workers seeing that they were dressed in casuals.“Here sir. Mr Arjun is already inside waiting for you.” The security officer pointed to the building, Arjun was visibly seen thanks to the glass wall.Mr Jai nodded and walked in.“It's such a pleasure to have you here Mr Jai.” Arjun

    In Castle City there was a lot of speculation and expectation. There seemed to be a consensus on the approaching battle between Vex Robotics and Maratha Industries. There were big stakes, and the public was interested in how things would work out. A blink of an eye later, the challenge was causing internet disruptions. Different remarks were being made by the people. While some only wanted to watch how everything would work out, others thought that creating ADA version 2.0 would be a piece of cake for Vex Robotics. As Vex Robotics was not as tech-focused as Maratha Robotics, many conjectured that they would not be able to compete. Arjun was reading over the most current staff reports in his office at the Maratha Industries headquarters. Thoughts were sharp, attentiveness unwavering. He understood the next two weeks would be critical. Even with so much strain, Arjun enjoyed difficulties. "Mr. Arjun," began Priya, his assistant, entering the room with a look of both concern and resol

    Mr. Jai was sitting at home, thinking back on his wager with Arjun. His avarice was so strong that he ultimately decided he would not let the chance to pass him by and buy Maratha Robotics. Calling for a small party with a few of his employees. Quickly, there was laughing and glass clinking in Jai's mansion's living room. Richly adorned, the space had warm warmth from chandeliers that reflected off the polished hardwood flooring. Elegantly positioned in the corner was a grand piano, and opulent leather sofas and armchairs offered cozy seats. His staff members celebrated what they thought would be an easy win. "To Maratha Robotics acquisition and future success!" Holding his glass aloft, Jai declared. Staff members clinked their glasses enthusiastically and chanted, "To the future!" Long time Jai helper Raj leaned forward and grinned knowingly. You truly believe this bet will win, boss? Raj enquired, doubt and curiosity blending in his voice. Confident, Jai smirked.

    Zayd was thrown right back into his turbulent and uncertain life. His workshop was eerily quiet, the sound of his racing thoughts and the clock ticking away nonstop.It seemed as though time was rushing out every second, like a weight bearing down on him. Eyes flitting from one half-finished project to another, each a monument to his recent failures, he paced the length of the room.Ever the problem solver, Zayd was a guy who grew from difficulties. That was different, though. The stakes were bigger than they had ever been, and the customary inspiration appeared to elude him.Disaster had befallen his most recent attempt to create a new robot that would transform the sector and preserve his collapsing career. The program would crash, the circuits would short, or the project would implode every time he believed he was getting close to a breakthrough.The frustration biting at him, he persisted.

    Working nonstop into the evening, Zayd and Abhi's commitment to Nexus was deepening every hour. With each person contributing their own abilities and points of view, the first anarchy of their cooperation started to coalesce into a harmonic beat. One evening Abhi paused rarely to glance over at Zayd. "You know, I've been considering how synthetic intelligence might be included. Think of us approaching it differently. What if we apply a neural network copying more human-like decision-making instead of the conventional hierarchical model?" Enjoying his coffee, Zayd thought about this. "That's an absolutely fantastic concept. It might make Nexus more flexible and suited for managing unanticipated conditions. Still, it also implies much more complexity. Are you positive we will be able to get it off in time? Abhi made his smile beautiful. "When have we lately traveled carefully? allow me to try it. They went back to their desks, the lab humming with new activity. Abhi changed the sens

He knew he had to focus, especially with Nexus nearing completion.Late at night in his workshop, Zayd immersed himself in his work. The hum of machinery and the glow of screens were his constant companions. He knew that completing Nexus was his best shot at proving Jai wrong and saving their company. But his thoughts kept drifting back to the confrontation with Jai.In the middle of his work, Zayd’s phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen: it was Arjun. "Zayd, I need to talk to you. It’s urgent," Arjun’s voice was tense."Sure, what's up?" Zayd asked, worry creeping into his voice."It's about Rohan and Meera. I've been noticing some odd behaviors and discrepancies in the financial reports. I think they might be plotting something," Arjun said.Zayd sighed deeply. "Just what we needed. More problems.
