Aaron’s POV

My life had been a series of unexpected turns, and the events of the past few days had spun it into a chaos I couldn’t have imagined. Just days ago, I had been consumed by a thirst for revenge, driven by the belief that Amelia had been responsible for the deaths of my family. But now, I found myself helping her, drawn back into her enigmatic world.

Why? The question echoed in my mind, refusing to be silenced. Amelia was my only family left. My father and brother had been involved in dangerous, illegal business dealings that would likely have led to their demise sooner or later. What if Amelia had been forced into her actions by my family’s rivals? What if there was more to the story than met the eye?

As I entered the meeting room, the atmosphere was palpably different. Gone were the tense glances and veiled threats. Amelia and I sat across from each other, discussing the details of the deal between our companies with a surprising sense of normalcy. It was as though, for a brief moment, we were just two professionals seeking common ground.

“Regarding the profit margins,” Amelia began, her tone businesslike, “we’ve made some meticulous adjustments in our projections based on the latest market trends and a comprehensive analysis of historical data. I believe these revised figures offer a significantly more realistic outlook for our mutual benefit.”

I leaned forward, my fingers tapping thoughtfully on the polished mahogany table. “Indeed, market dynamics have been evolving rapidly. I’ve noticed a considerable shift in consumer preferences and spending patterns, which has prompted us to reevaluate our approach.”

Amelia nodded, her gaze steady. “Precisely. Our team has conducted an in-depth regression analysis to model the potential impact of these shifts. The integration of cutting-edge data analytics tools has allowed us to fine-tune our forecasting accuracy.”

I couldn’t help but be impressed by the depth of preparation her team had undertaken. “It’s evident that your company’s commitment to data-driven decision-making aligns perfectly with our approach. This level of synchronization will undoubtedly fortify our strategic partnership.”

Amelia’s lips curved into a faint, appreciative smile. “Absolutely. We believe that with these adjustments, we can not only optimize profitability but also enhance our risk management strategies, particularly in such volatile economic times.”

“We’ve also observed a positive correlation between customer loyalty and the quality of after-sales support,” I noted, highlighting a key aspect of our proposal. “Investing in an efficient customer relationship management system could be a strategic move to leverage this trend.”

Amelia’s eyes gleamed with agreement. “Your insight is astute. We’re already in the process of implementing an advanced CRM system, which will not only enhance customer satisfaction but also provide valuable data for future marketing campaigns.”

The words flowed smoothly, and Amelia and I engaged in a thoughtful discussion about the finer points of the agreement. The tension that had once defined our interactions had dissipated, replaced by a sense of cooperation.

However, there was a storm brewing on the other side of the table. Greg appeared restless and agitated. His eyes darted around the room, and he seemed unable to sit still.

He interrupted the presenters multiple times, pointing out what he deemed unnecessary mistakes in their presentations. His voice was sharp, and his demeanor was far from composed.
