Isabella arrived at the Grandeur Hotel for The C.E.S, stepping out of her exotic car in a stunning black gown. Her entourage followed closely behind her as she made her way toward the entrance, causing heads to turn and cameras to flash."Isabella, over here!" shouted a photographer, trying to capture her attention for a photo.Isabella smiled and turned towards the camera, striking a pose. "Make sure you get my good side," she said playfully.As she walked towards the entrance, fans, and admirers cheered and called out her name, asking for autographs and selfies. Reporters gathered around her, eager to ask her questions about the latest tech innovation she was modeling for."Isabella, you look absolutely stunning tonight," complimented a reporter."Thank you," Isabella replied with a gracious smile. "I always strive to make a statement with my fashion choices."Entering the hotel, Isabella felt a sense of pride as she looked around and saw the many tech developers and legends in atte
As the judges settled in, the event began, and the audience erupted with excitement as tech companies streamed their software presentations. All eyes were on the stage, especially as Isabella stepped up to represent Nixon Tech.Liam nudged Ben and nodded toward Isabella. "Check out the bugging Queen," he whispered with a smirk.Ben's eyes widened in admiration. "Is that her? Wow!"Liam chuckled. "I can see you're already in love with her. Maybe I should introduce you guys. I think you two will click."Ben shook his head, a sly smile on his lips. "Sorry, man. I'm already taken by someone. My body and soul always yearn for her."Liam raised an eyebrow, amused. "You better stay clear from my secretary."Ben raised an eyebrow, amused at Liam's comment. "You can't blame me, man. You should have gone for an older lady or even a man as your secretary. And come to think of it, most of your employees are young, sexy, and beautiful, with some rare beauties. Yet, they think of you as a dark prin
Elena's concern for her friend was evident in her eyes as she walked over to Scarlett's side. "Scarlett, are you alright?" she asked, placing a reassuring hand on her friend's back.Scarlett turned to Elena, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I'm more than alright, Elena. That felt amazing," she grinned, leading her friend to the corner of the hotel room.Elena couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Scarlett's fearlessness, but her concern quickly resurfaced. "But Scarlett, what if we get in trouble? I overheard some of Isabella's entourage saying that her parents are billionaires. What if they drag us into a lawsuit?" she fretted, her brows furrowing.Scarlett tried to reassure Elena that everything would be fine, but her friend couldn't shake off the worry. "I just hope we don't end up in jail because of this," Elena muttered, her voice tinged with anxiety.Scarlett flashed a mischievous grin. "Don't worry, Elena. If we end up in jail, at least we'll have each other," she j
Elena managed a small smile, still feeling a little uneasy around Liam after their last encounter. "Yes, it's nice to see you too," she replied politely.Liam's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Elena with surprise. "Wait, are you Elena Walter?" he asked, pretending not to know her name.Elena's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Yes, I am Elena Walter," she confirmed, wondering why Liam was playing this game.Liam's smirk returned, and he leaned forward slightly. "Well, well, well. Elena Walter," he said, his tone playful. "I've heard a lot about you."Elena's confusion turned to suspicion. "What have you heard about me?" she asked, not sure if she wanted to know the answer.Elena's suspicion turned to surprise as Liam revealed that he was the one she was meeting with. "Wait, you're the one I'm meeting with?" she asked, her eyes widening in shock. " Oh, Miss Sarah really pointed at him," Elena said to herself, simply smiling and looked up at Elena, his eyes sparkling with a
Elena's face turned beet red as she felt the embarrassment wash over her like a wave. "I can't believe I just coughed like that," she thought to herself. "I must look like a complete fool."She took the handkerchief from Liam and whispered a quiet thank you without looking up at him. She wiped her mouth and tried to dab the small wine stain on her hands and shirt. "This is so embarrassing," she muttered under her breath.As she tried to compose herself, Elena couldn't help but wonder if this man was really who he claimed to be. Liam Hamilton, the CEO of Hamilton Software? He certainly looked the part with his expensive suit and fancy business card. But she had to be sure.Liam noticed that she had missed a spot on her shirt and moved closer to help her. "Here, let me get that for you," he said, reaching out to touch her arm.Elena instinctively recoiled and pulled away from him. "No, it's fine. I can do it myself, thank you" she said, trying to hide her discomfort, her tone more curt
"Oh my gosh, Elena! I'm so happy for you!" Scarlett exclaimed, beaming with joy. "I can already picture you standing on stage giving presentations to legends like Larry Page."Elena smiled, feeling the warmth of her friend's happiness. "Aww, thanks, dear," she replied."You know," Scarlett continued, "with their help and assistance, you could start up your own company. You don't need to wait any longer. You've taken enough insults from Mr. Taylor, Gianna, including Isabella, that brat."Elena simply smiled, appreciating her friend's encouragement."So...?" Scarlett asked expectantly."So? What?" Elena asked, slightly confused."When do you intend to call him? Tonight, tomorrow morning, or tomorrow night?" Scarlett questioned eagerly.Elena raised an eyebrow. "Why does it have to be at night, and why the hurry?" she asked, curious.Suddenly, Elena's phone beeped, and she saw a message from Gianna that made her heart race with urgency."Where are you, Elena!!?" the message read. "You sh
After leaving the hotel, Isabella had called her father, Austin Thompson, the billionaire owner of the biggest stock company and one of the richest men in Alaska City, aside from the Hamiltons. She was crying as she relayed the news of how the website she had paid handsomely for had been formatted. Her father's anger boiled, and he immediately called his lawyer, who in turn contacted Mr. Ford.The lawyer informed Mr. Ford that the damages for the website and Isabella's tears were worth a staggering two hundred million dollars. Mr. Ford's heart sank at the news, and he knew that this was going to be a big problem. He had never dealt with a situation of this magnitude before, and he was unsure of how to proceed.Mr. Ford's frustration was palpable as he looked at Elena and Scarlett. "Seeing both of you as the causes of this ordeal is like an arrow shot in my chest," he said, his voice tinged with anger. Scarlett was about to reply, but Elena held her back and shook her head.Mr. Ford co
Liam had just finished a long day of celebrating Hamilton Tech's recent C.E.S award win. He was on his sofa, scrolling through some important documents when his phone rang. It was Benjamin, his best friend."Liam, I have some bad news," Benjamin said solemnly."What's happened?" Liam asked, his heart sinking."Isabella is suing Nixon Tech for breach of contract and emotional distress," Benjamin began.“And guess who one of the culprits in the Breach of Contract is?“Who?” Liam asked impatiently“Your beautiful Elena," Benjamin replied.“What!...”As Liam processed the news that Elena was one of the culprits in Nixon Tech's breach of contract, his eyes narrowed and his forehead furrowed with concern. He sat up straight on his couch, contemplating his next move. He could easily make some calls and handle the issue swiftly, but he didn't feel like interfering in Elena's affairs at her place of work. Liam knew that Elena was a talented software developer who deserved better treatment tha
