Rivalries 소설 & 이야기

At least not anymore. Right now I was just anticipating who was going to win. Because both firms were ridiculously strong. Both had built incredible reputations over the years. And strangely enough, their histories were similar too. They both started from scratch. Both companies clawed their way upward slowly until they became global forces people respected, and feared. Which was why their rivalry always felt personal somehow.Just deeply rooted. Their workers knew each other too. Executives crossed paths often. Employees switched companies occasionally. There were shared histories, old friendships, failed partnerships, hidden resentment. And even though nobody openly admitted it, Everybody s

“Listen….what was I supposed to know? I promise, tell me, and I’ll make amends. How did I ruin things….how did I go to your house to ask after you make things worse….and what things?” “Do not play pretend, Kai…..it’s not fucking funny.” She grimaced. “I really don’t know….tell me, and I'll fix it.” “There's no fixing this!” she yelled. “No fixing us either, Kai. You really want to tell me you don’t know about the long-standing rivalry between our families, even dating back at least ten generations?” “What…no…what rivalry? Why would we be rivals, and even if we were, why does it matter to us, and the way we feel about each other?”

I could feel her hand shaking against mine as she gripped to steady her hold. “The rivalry…” She continued when she didn't get any response from me. Then she shrugged. “What is it for? Money? Land? Business? More money?” She rapped without holding her breath. “Just name it!” Her tone was getting quite dramatic. Still silent, I leaned back in my seat, one leg crossed over the other, and I tapped on the table surface, skillfully, as if stuck on a game of chess. “The Contis don't beef with little humans…”

Rovak asked. "Yes, but not too friendly" "Now, I am confused" Rovak said. "Rovak, your 'rivalry' has gone a long way into making you two stars. When you have a game together, people tune in because of the 'rivalry'. Both your fanbases are bitter enemies." "So I should stop being friends with him?" "I didn't say that. Just keep it hidden" Peete advised. "I Understand" "and what's going on with you and Frank?" Pete asked.

Just thinking about it made me look forward to what was coming. After handing all the evidence over to Cleo, I stopped involving myself further. Business warfare was her specialty. Soon enough, rumors about Green Inc.’s situation began appearing across tabloids and financial news reports. At the same time, Cleo started aggressively targeting Green Inc.’s business operations from every angle. Even though Green Inc. dominated the industry, Juniper spent most of her time indulging herself with Sean instead of managing the company. In less than half a year, Cleo’s company had completely overtaken Green Inc.

It was the epicenter of a twenty-year corporate war, and now, Blackridge International University was serving it to us as a casual academic exercise. "The administration is openly mocking us," Dante stated, crossing the room and stopping right at the invisible boundary line dividing our spaces. "There is absolutely no way this is a random assignment." "It is a psychological stress test," I replied, scrolling through the preliminary financial data attached to the email. "Blackridge knows our family history perfectly well. The Vanguard board wants to see if we will let a decades-old feud destroy our ability to generate profit." "I am not playing their twisted game," Dante snapped, running a ha

"Maybe you just haven't given me much to laugh about." "Fair point." We kept talking about nothing important from books to movies to even high school experiences. That one time in high school when I broke my arm falling off a roof trying to get a frisbee. The time he got food poisoning before a championship game and played anyway. Forty-five minutes passed before I even noticed and when I looked at the clock it was hard to believe we were rivals who hated each other's guts with the way we were talking like friends who actually liked each other.

"We go way back. I am allowed to look at someone I know." Kai was quiet for a moment. Then he said nothing else. But he did not move away either and I was very aware of exactly how much space was not between us. +++++++ The scrimmage was not supposed to get ugly. It always got ugly. Kai and Liam had history. Everyone knew it. Two years of tournament clashes and no love lost between them. Liam was a physical player. Kai was a psychological one. When those two things met on the ice the result was never clean.

Soren crouched down and scooped Vera up with one arm. His gaze swept over the scar on Vera's face. His brow furrowed deeply, the anger in his eyes nearly tangible. "Ha. So, this is how your werewolf pack treats a defenseless human?" Soren's voice rang out. A violent wind whipped through the area. The surrounding werewolves immediately went on high alert. Only Kieran remained standing where he was. Kieran said coldly, "Soren, you've brought a vampire army into our werewolf territory. Are you trying to start a war?"
