Chapter Twenty-one: The Visit"Hello, big sis. Hi, Mr. Caldwell," Clara said, grinning widely as she stopped by the door. "Surprise! I brought gifts."Just as Maya was about to speak, one of the guards rushed in. "Sorry, ma'am, I'm sorry, sir," he bowed to Ethan and Maya. "We tried to stop her at the gate, but she forced her way in. We can drag her out now if you don't mind."The guard nodded to two of his men, who moved to grab Clara. "No, leave her. You can go," Ethan said, his rich baritone voice commanding but soft.Clara's eyes flashed with annoyance. "Your guards are mannerless. You need to ditch them and hire another security team. I can't believe they were trying to harass me..."She paused, her eyes darting between Maya and Ethan suspiciously. "Did I interrupt something?"Maya and Ethan exchanged a nervous glance, and they spoke in unison. "No, no." Maya added, "We're just surprised to see you."Clara was the last person Maya wanted to see.

Chapter Twenty: Dine and KissAs Maya entered the dining room, she stopped at the door, her eyes widening in surprise. The dining table was set with precision: plates, cutlery, and napkins were arranged perfectly, water glasses were filled, and small, scented candles cast a soft glow on the white tablecloth. The flames danced gently, glinting off the wine glasses between them. Soft music played in the background, and trays of food were arranged in order."You did all of this?" Maya asked, blinking hard, her surprise evident in her voice. "I...I thought you were joking."Ethan smiled, leading her to her seat at the right-hand side of the table. "Now you know I'm serious. Come on in, let's eat; you must be starving." He pulled out her chair, and she sat down, still looking around in wonder."My lady," he said, bowing his head stylishly, making her giggle. He then wheeled himself to the head of the table.The aroma of the food wafted through the air, and Maya's lips curled into a coy smi

Chapter Nineteen: The Invitation.One of the investors stood up and cleared his throat."You both did extremely well at your presentation. Your ideas are brilliant and valid." He adjusted the frame of his eyeglass. "My colleagues and I will be needing some time to discuss about this. We will get back to you when our decision is finalized. This meeting is hereby adjourned. Thank you."Maya walked up to the investors; she quickly shook hands with them and Thomas who was already standing there."You did great," Thomas said as he shook her hand."More than you expected." She smirked as she withdrew her hand from Thomas's."Honestly, I never...." He paused and inhaled deeply. "I never expected such manner of presentation and boldness from you. And your ideas," he kissed his fingers. "They were mind-blowing. You swept me off my feet. Well done, Maya.""Thank you." Maya tossed her hair over her shoulder, and turned to leave. "And you too," she stopped midway. "You did well. Your ideas were b

Chapter Eighteen: The Presentation.The investors burst into laughter. Thomas face turned red as he gave Maya a cold stare."Mr. Thomas, can you please take your seat? There is no need for this argument. Remember you kept us waiting; don't waste more of our time. Let's get to business." One of the investors said as he tapped the table."Can I be the first to present while that bitc.." he bit the inside of his cheek and cleared his throat. "Sorry, I mean Mrs. Caldwell prepare herself?" He asked, correcting himself."Okay, you can start." Another of the investor said."Thank you," he bowed slightly as he stood up and walked to the podium. "I will go straight to the point without wasting much of your time." He clicked on the projector.

"Down to the city since they lack a good bridge, and just imagine the Thomas company doing such a thing

Chapter Seventeen: The Confrontation.Immediately George drove through the massive iron gates; Maya quickly glanced through her plans once more. She noticed the car has been moving in circles in the parking lot."George, why are we still moving? Isn't the car supposed to be parked by now?" She asked as her fingers moved swiftly on her keyboard."Sorry, ma'am, I can't see any vacant space in the parking lot; they are all filled up." George replied as he tries to maneuver his way through the cars.Maya looked up from her laptop, "what the fuck?" She murmured under her breath as she glance through the tinted window. "How about the VIP and the private section?""All filled up ma'am. Judging from the type of cars here, I guess the president or some top dignitaries are present today. Because these cars," He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. "They look more like a convoy.""Okay, George, if I keep on sitting here,I will be late for the meeting; it's best I drop here.

Chapter Sixteen: The Edit.Ethan wheeled his chair to Maya's room; he stopped at the entrance as he took in the view of the room: sheets of paper scattered across the wooden table and the floor, a notepad on the cushion, a cup of coffee and an empty bag of chips on the floor, a drawing board with different diagrams on the wall and Maya seated right behind the wooden table as she focused on the laptop before her with squinted eyes as she typed some things on the keyboard of her laptop, surfing through the internet and jotted down something on the jotter beside the laptop, that she barely noticed his presence."Getting ready for tomorrow?"
