?Chapter 115:


    “I told you—Neb’s a newpany. This whole thing is a waste of time.”


    Ste stood calmly on stage, her smile polite butposed as a low hum of conversation buzzed around the table. She didn’t rush to speak, simply waited with poise until the attendees quieted down.


    “Ladies and gentlemen,” she began, her voice clear, “if you have any questions about our technology, feel free to bring them up. I’ll be happy to answer.”


    The room shifted its focus to her, but the tone was far from friendly. “The tech you mentioned earlier—we’ve never even heard of it. How do we know it actually works?”


    Ste remained unfazed. “That’s a fair concern. But rest assured, it’s all clearly outlined in the contract—if we fail to deliver on the first day of coboration, it counts as a breach of contract, and you’ll be fullypensated.”


    A ripple of surprise moved through the room. Compensation starting from day one? That wasn’t just rare—it was unheard of.


    Before they could throw another doubt at her, Ste continued, “I understand this technology might be unfamiliar to many of you. That’s why I’ve prepared a brief demonstration video—just three minutes. It should give you a better sense of what we’re offering.” The screen came to life behind her, ying a concise yet powerful presentation that broke down the capabilities of Neb’s new tech.


    Once the video ended, Ste stepped forward again. “Of course, we tailor the implementation based on your project’s specific needs. Neb doesn’t do one-size-fits-all—we deliver precision. You have our word.”


    The crowd started murmuring again, but this time the tone had shifted. “This tech actually seems promising.”


    “And with thatpensation use in the contract? They’re clearly serious. I’ll admit, the proposal’s solid. If it works like she says, this could be a game-changer.”


    At the back of the room, Steven listened quietly, arms crossed, his eyes on Ste. She hadn’t flinched once—not when they questioned her, not when they doubted her, not even when they implied she was bluffing. Calm. Controlled. Completely inmand.


    Impressive, he thought.

    He hadn’t encountered many people as outstanding as herpetent and unppable. William really did know how to pick them. Once the meeting ended,


    Ste walked each representative to the door, shaking hands and exchanging cards.


    As thest one left, she finally allowed herself a quiet sigh of relief.


    Steven’s voice came from behind her. “You okay? Didn’t scare you off.”


    She turned to him with a small smile. “Thanks for checking. I’m good.”


    “You actually exceeded my expectations.” He stepped closer, lowering his voice. “There’s one more client I’ve been hesitant about. If wend him, we’re not just ahead—we’re miles ahead. He’s got ess to thetest chip tech on the market.”
