Lie Blu Apartment.Third Person POV.“What would it take to convince you to go out with me tonight?” Aaliyah groaned, watching her best friend, Matilda, type away tirelessly at her computer. Matilda’s long light brown hair was messily piled on top of her head in a bun. “Hellooo?” Aaliyah whined, desperation creeping into her voice.Matilda pushed her round glasses up her straight nose and bit her pink lips in concentration, her brown eyes glued to her MacBook, ignoring Aaliyah’s pleas.“Earth to Mal! Do you hear me?” Aaliyah waved her arms dramatically in front of Matilda’s face, but received no response. She knew if she didn’t intervene, her friend would be glued to that screen all weekend.“I’m sure we can go another day, Aly,” Matilda finally replied, her gaze never leaving the screen. As much as she loved spending time with her best friend, she was too comfortable in her sweatpants and tee to consider getting dressed up tonight.“Wow! A response!” Aaliyah shot back, sitting up str

The executives and top shareholders rise to greet him. “I’m glad we could all make it to this impromptu meeting,” he announces, settling into his seat.The others follow suit.

Lie Blu Apartment.Matilda’s POV.The shrill blast of my alarm jolts me from sleep, its invasive beeping echoing through my still-dark apartment. Groggy and disoriented, I swipe at the snooze button, my hand slamming down harder than intended.“Ouch!” I yelp, a sharp pain shooting through my palm. Rubbing the sore spot, I grumble, “Stupid alarm clock,” and squint at the piercing light filtering through the curtains.Just yesterday, the Chairman dropped a bombshell on me—he’s terminally ill. It feels surreal to wake up annoyed at an alarm clock when soon, someone out there might not need one at all.Dragging myself out of bed, a heavy weight settles in my chest. Life’s unpredictability makes me ponder: If I had limited time left, what would I do differently? The warm water of the shower cascades over me, but it can’t wash away the chill of that thought.Have I truly lived a happy life?Sure, I have a decent job, a roof over my head, and just enough savings for the occasional getaway.

HQ.Third Person POV.A black Bentley slows to a stop in front of the company building. Outside, a wall of reporters from prominent media outlets presses forward, cameras flashing in a dizzying blur. They shout over one another, bombarding the car with questions and snapping endless photos, while the security team struggles to hold them back.Inside the car, Alaric sits silently, his gaze narrowing as he watches the spectacle unfold. He’s been photographed in secret before, but never has he been the focal point of such relentless scrutiny. These are the people fueling every lie, he thinks, jaw tightening as he reaches for the door handle, eager to escape the stifling car ride he endures beside his father. Usually, Javier drives him, but his father insists they arrive together to “make an impressio

Willow Inc. HQ.Third Person."Alaric showed how witty he was today and how thorough he could be with research," Mr. Bunduck praises, his voice tinged with a mixture of surprise and respect."He also demonstrated remarkable patience and tolerance. That alone was a wisdom that should not have been overlooked," Mrs. Cho adds, her tone earnest, as if she wants the others to truly grasp the significance of what Alaric has accomplished.Mrs. Lionheart leans forward, her expression brightening with genuine warmth. "I must admit, it's reassuring to know the company is in such capable hands."Chairman Willow can't help but smile as he glances around the boardroom. “It looks like you're all willing to give my son a chance now.” He feels a flicker of hope swell within him, though uncertainty still nags at the corners of his mind. This isn’t the outcome he had expected, but maybe, just maybe, Alaric is rising to the occasion."We must give credit where credit is due, and right now, he deserves it
