Irritation

The atmosphere in the Sterling Corporation was electric. The hall was filled with the elite of New York City, the who's who of the business world, and the most influential investors and shareholders. The anticipation was palpable, and all eyes were on Alexander Sterling, the billionaire CEO of Sterling Motors.

Alexander Sterling was known for his genius inventions in the automobile industry. He had a reputation for creating cars that were ahead of their time, and his latest creation was no exception. The car launch event was the talk of the town, and everyone was eager to see what he had in store for them.

The hall was beautifully decorated with Sterling Motor's branding, and the stage was set for the grand reveal. Alexander Sterling walked onto the stage, and the crowd erupted into applause. He was accompanied by his best friend, Caleb Scott, a car dealer, and co-inventor, and other members of his team.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am Alexander Sterling, and I'd like to welcome you all to the launch of the latest innovation in the automobile industry, the Sterling E-Drive," he announced, with a smile.

The crowd cheered as he unveiled the car, and the reporters snapped away, capturing every moment. The car was sleek, futuristic, and environmentally friendly. It was the perfect blend of technology and luxury.

"This car is a game-changer. It's the first of its kind, and we're proud to be the pioneers," Alexander continued, as he talked about the car's features and benefits.

The crowd was impressed, and during the launch, seven cars were sold on the spot. Alexander Sterling was ecstatic, and he could feel the excitement in the air.

Alexander Sterling, walked around the grand hall, greeting the guests who had arrived for the launch of the Sterling E-Drive car. Dressed in a tailored black suit and a crisp white shirt, he exuded an air of confidence and power. His piercing blue eyes scanned the hall, taking in the sight of investors, high shareholders, and potential customers, all smartly dressed and sipping on glasses of sparkling wine.

As he made his way through the sections, Alexander's eyes caught a glimpse of a potential investor who had been on his radar for quite some time. He made his way over to the man, extending his hand for a firm shake.

"Mr. Jameson, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person," Alexander said, his voice smooth and confident.

"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Sterling," the investor replied, his eyes scanning Hall at the cars on display

"I'm glad you could make it to our launch event. I'm sure you'll be impressed with what we have to offer," Alexander said, leading the way toward the main stage where the new car was displayed.

As they walked, Alexander explained the features of the new car, highlighting its sleek design and advanced technology. The investor listened intently, nodding his head in approval.

"I must say, Mr. Sterling, I'm quite impressed with what I've seen so far," Mr. Jameson said.

"I'm glad to hear that. We've put a lot of time and effort into this project, and we're confident that it will revolutionize the electric car market," Alexander replied, his tone filled with pride.

As they made their way back to the section, Alexander overheard a conversation between two potential customers.

"I heard the car is quite expensive. Is it worth the price?" one of them asked.

"The Sterling E-Drive is not just a car, it's a statement. It's a symbol of luxury and sustainability. And if you can afford it, it's worth the investment," Alexander interjected, flashing a charming smile.

The two customers looked at each other, impressed by Alexander's confidence."He's so Handsome" said one of the customers as Alexander excused himself.

As Alexander made his way through the crowd, he spotted his best friend Caleb across the Hall. They exchanged a knowing look, and Alexander gestured towards a couple of empty chairs in the corner of the room. Caleb followed him, and they both took a seat, observing the guests as they mingled and chatted.

"So, what do you think?" Alexander asked, taking a sip of his wine.

"Impressive turnout. Looks like we're going to have a lot of interest in the car," Caleb replied, his gaze sweeping over the guests.

"I know, right? It's amazing to see so many investors, shareholders, and potential customers here tonight," Alexander said, his voice filled with excitement.

Caleb nodded in agreement. "It's a testament to all the hard work that we've put into this project. I'm proud of what we've accomplished," he said.

"Me too. But we can't let our guard down just yet. We need to make sure that everyone here feels welcome and appreciated," Alexander replied, scanning the room for any guests who might need attention.

As they watched the guests, a man in a sharp suit caught Caleb's eye. He recognized him as one of the investors they had been trying to secure funding from for months.

"Hey, isn't that Mr. Jacobs?" Caleb asked, nodding toward the man.

"Yeah, it is. Let's go say hello and see if we can get him to invest in our project," Alexander said, getting up from his seat.

They made their way over to Mr. Jacobs, who was chatting with another guest. "Good evening, Mr. Jacobs. It's great to see you here," Alexander said, extending his hand for a shake.

"Ah, Mr. Sterling. Good to see you as well. I must say, I'm impressed with the car. It looks like you've put a lot of effort into this project," Mr. Jacobs replied, his eyes scanning the Hall.

"We have. And we're confident that it will be a game-changer in the electric car market. We're looking for investors who share our vision and want to be a part of this exciting project," Alexander said, his tone confident and persuasive.

Mr. Jacobs nodded, considering their proposal. "I'll have to think about it. But I must say, I'm impressed with what I've seen tonight," he replied, excusing himself to mingle with other guests.

As they made their way back to their seats, Caleb grinned at Alexander. "Nice"

As Alexander and Caleb settled back into their seats, Alexander noticed a group of guests huddled together, their heads bent over their phones. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern as he watched them.

"What do you think they're looking at?" Caleb asked, following Alexander's gaze.

"I don't know. But it can't be good if they're all looking at their phones like that," Alexander replied, his brow furrowed with worry.

As they watched, one of the guests turned to a nearby couple and said in a disgusted tone, "I can't believe Alexander Sterling would do something like this. I don't think I can sit in this hall any longer."

Alexander's heart sank as he heard the comment.
