The Tycoon's Odyssey

In a huge office of Pear Inc, California…

In the tech world, Pears has become the gold standard for smartphones, dominating the market with their security, safety, design, and powerful performance.

Pear's smartphone was the symbol of noble status that no can could dare to change. They might not hold the biggest market segment but they surely had the biggest profit out there by selling IPhones

...…..

At Pear Technologies, Julia sat in her sleek, modern office, absorbed in reviewing the Breach Protector on her Pear device. As a Technology Integration Specialist, her role involved assessing cutting-edge innovations for potential integration into Pears' systems.

Aria, the COO of Next Gen Innovations, had sent Julia a trial sample package of Breach Protector, knowing its transformative potential for Pears' latest operating system.

Julia was a colleague of Aria and both of them have been long term friends. At first, she was shocked after getting a software file from Aria.

She wondered if this was a prank as the message to seek cooperation baffled her after all, it was just out of nowhere and she couldn't raise such useless matters without any credibility but…

Julia's eyes sparkled with excitement. "This is exactly what Pears need," she murmured to herself, impressed by the Breach Protector's advanced security features.

This latest innovation, the Breach Protector, developed by Next Gen Innovations and might make waves as a revolutionary tool for data security.

Realizing the significant impact this could have, Julia prepared to meet Steven Hook, the CEO of Pears. Known for his cold and ruthless approach, Steven was renowned for his high standards and no-nonsense attitude. Julia knew that presenting a project to him required navigating a rigorous set of protocols.

She carefully followed the necessary steps, submitting a formal request for a meeting, securing approval from his assistant, and ensuring all documentation and preliminary assessments were in order. Her diligence was essential to gain an audience with someone of Steven's stature.

...…..

Julia entered Steven Hook's office, her face a blend of determination and professionalism. The office, characterized by its minimalist decor and cold, efficient atmosphere, reflected Steven's persona. Steven, seated behind his immaculate desk, looked up with a steely gaze.

"Boss, I have something crucial to present," Julia said, her voice steady but carrying a note of urgency.

"Hmm!I heard your request however…."

A coldness flashed in Steven's eyes,"If I don't like it and I feel my time has been wasted, be prepared to be fired."

GULP!

Julia swallowed her saliva with a panicked expression but she remained calm.

She placed the Pear device with the Breach Protector in front of Steven. He glanced at the screen with detached interest before diving into the app's features. His initial indifference soon shifted to a focused, critical examination.

Steven blinked his eyes in shock and awe..

"This… this is impressive," Steven said, his tone cold but with an edge of grudging admiration.

"But let me make this clear, if this project doesn't meet my standards or prove its worth, you'll find yourself out of a job. I don't waste time on anything that doesn't add value."

Julia's heart raced at his warning, but she nodded, determined. "Understood, Boss. I'm confident this technology will enhance our security protocols significantly."

Steven's expression remained rigid as he scrutinised the Breach Protector." If it's as good as you claim, we'll integrate it into our next line of Pears.I need the full sample."

Julia met his gaze, and after giving a bow she left quickly, meanwhile Steven looked at the thing.

Though he acted like this, he could already feel the future potential.

Thinking about it for a moment, he decided to make a call,"I need every tiny bit of information about Next Gen Innovations and the man behind this.

....

Two days later

Arriving in California, USL they swiftly moved to thier resting place.

The hotel where Suri and Evan stayed was a different one. While she stayed in a 5-star hotel with top-notch service, Evan cooped in an affordable one.

Aria knew Evan would be burdened by high costs as he considered it a waste of money, especially the dinner party.

After all, either an idiot or a filthy rich person without a sense of money would pay $100-500$ for a plate of pasta that doesn't even last for a few spoonfuls.

Resting, the next day they took a car to the ceremony show.

At the Eagle Play Words ceremony, the atmosphere hummed with excitement and anticipation as top software firms and app developers gathered.

It took place in a Grand Hotel that seemed to be blinking with luxury.

Evan wore a sharp black tuxedo with a modern cut, paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a sleek black bow tie. His look was completed with polished black dress shoes.

Aria looked stunning in a flowing midnight blue silk gown, featuring a sweetheart neckline adorned with shimmering beadwork. Her minimal yet elegant accessories included dangling earrings that caught the light, complementing her confident presence beside Evan.

Before entering Aria squeezed Evan's arms and whispered.

"Evan, make sure to keep the smile. Even if someone is rude don't burst out. Try to be subtle without cursing or be rude.''

"Umm…By the way, don't be nervous..I am with you.."

Aria lips twitched hearing this as she could already see Evan faltered.

"Evan!'"

"Yes!"

"This is my fourth time here and my team even won an award once."Aria smiled.

"HUH!"Evan's lips opened and closed a few times.Shock and disbelief was etched on his face.

Entering Evan, dressed in his neat and noble attire, greeted each person with a firm handshake and a genuine smile.

The moment they stepped in, various eyes rolled onto them.

Evan felt awkward as all eyes seemed to be on him.

'What the hell? Why are they looking at me like a criminal?"

Aria noticed Evan's blank yet slightly stiff expression and chuckled.

"They are eyeing you because you are a new face. Everyone must be familiar with one another."

"Keep calm, we will soon find a scapegoat that will make things easier."
