Later that afternoon, Alexander and Emily attended an important business meeting.
A new company had recently entered the market.
And its CEO was quickly gaining attention.
The meeting took place in a large conference hall.
Several executives sat around the long table.
The door opened.
A tall woman walked in confidently.
Elegant black suit.
Sharp eyes.
Confident smile.
"This must be Knight Corporation."
Her voice was smooth.
Alexander's expression didn't change.
"Victoria Hayes."
Emily glanced at him.
"You know her?"
Alexander nodded slightly.
"Rival CEO."
Victoria's eyes moved toward Emily.
"And you must be the famous Emily Carter."
Emily smiled politely.
"Nice to meet you."
Victoria looked her up and down.
"I've heard a lot about you."
Her tone sounded friendly.
But something in her eyes felt challenging.
Emily immediately sensed it.
This woman was not like Sophia.
She was calm.
Calculated.
Dangerous.
