The reporters clicked away, the flash of their cameras lighting up the room. The room was silent for a split second as they all stared at the girl.

"Oops, me?" Simon asked.

"Yes,"

"You mean my face? What did my face do?" Simon asked, looking around the room in funny surprise.

The boys who stood beside her folded their hands on their chests too, staring intently at Simon.

Simon smiled, his eyes sparkling as he stared at the interesting girl with her defiant eyes.

"What's your name, little girl?" Simon asked.

"My name is Jasmine," she replied, her right chin raised in confrontation.

"That's a sweet name. Are they your brothers?" Simon asked, looking at James and Jayden.

"We are triplets," they chorused.

"I am Jasmine,"

"I am James,"

    At the Gary head office, Nancy stood in front of the room, hoping she could get them to agree with her.“I don’t think we should do this; we really don’t want to go up against her anymore.” Sarah said.“Why can’t we go? For starters, we were unable to attend the bid simply because she came out of nowhere and took over everything.” Nancy replied.“Yes, but we all will benefit from it.” Larry said, shrugging.“Yes, we will, but that does not mean she should be the center of attention.” Nancy objected.Sarah sighed and replied, “We are not after being the center of attention, Nancy; we were just worried she was going to take our key staff away, which was why we were not receptive to her joining the organization in the first place.”Nancy felt herself losing her last streak of patience as she stared at them. How could they all be so dense? she thought.“Are you saying you are good with being relegated, being pushed to the side? Not having your work recognized and having all the glory go t

    At the Parker Learning Center, as the kids filed out, they were directed to a game segment. One of the rooms had been designed to look like a park.“I love that!” One of the children shouted, running over to the swing, which was in the room.There were several snacks and things to play with, but the triplet walked over to a corner.“Jasmine, why did you shake him?” James asked.“Because he was smiling,” Jasmine responded.Jayden shook his head, grinning as he added, “Daddy was so fine, I like his hair.”“We said we will not like him,” James reminded them.“Yes,”“Yes,”Jayden and Jasmine responded at the same time, both looking guilty.“We said, ‘We are going to see if Daddy is a good person.” James said, reminding them.“Yes, we are, and now we can. I am not going to shake his hands again.” Jasmine said, feeling more determined.Jayden nodded and agreed, “I won’t smile at him too.”“Okay,” James replied, sighing.“Hello,”They all looked up to see who was speaking to them.

Of course not,” Anna replied.Nat coughed, slightly uncomfortable as she leaned close to Clayton and whispered, “I don’t like this at all.”“I don’t either, but we do not have a choice,” Clayton whispered back to her.Simon sat there, his face neutral and unreadable as he stared at Anna. William was sitting to Anna’s right, with Nat on her left. Leaving Simon sitting right in front of her.“Why don’t we enjoy the food while we wait to hear the verdict? I’m sure it won’t take so long,” Nat stated, laughing nervously.The tension at the table was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

The tension in the air was palpable as everyone waited for her to break the silence."And the winner is The Gary group!"

Some glanced over at Anna and Charlotte, wondering what the subject of their conversation was.Others assumed they were probably sharing ideas about their presentations.Anna's eyes were blank as she stared at Charlotte, unable to place her words with the thoughts in her head.Anna's lips curled up in a smile as she tilted her head to the right, her eyes locked on Charlotte."Do you think I just made a joke?"

    "Oh, my god! When did you guys plan this?" Anna asked, smiling at the grin on their faces.The small restaurant had a cozy atmosphere, with dim lighting and soft music playing in the background. It had been decorated and was only occupied by her team members.The tables were adorned with colorful balloons, and a "Congratulations" banner hung on the wall."Congratulations, Ms. Howard," they chorused.Anna felt filled with gratitude as she looked at their faces, glad they had actually won the bid."Thought you said none of them were going to show up?"
