The meeting room was quiet, but the silence wasn't empty. It was thick with anticipation.
Anastasia stood tall before the large screen, her heart pounding, her fingers lightly trembling, but her voice held steady.
Her slideshow was live, and Alfonso Martinez was seated across the table with other senior members, including Mr. David, who sat with his arms folded, face unreadable.
'It's been a while I did this, but I won't fail and I can't fail.' Anastasia thought, as she let out a deep breath before she started her presentation.
"Good morning everyone," Anastasia began. "I'm honored to present our project progress and roadmap."
She clicked the remote in her hand, shifting the screen to the current statistics, timelines, and phases. Her confidence grew with each slide.
"The Alfonso Martinez financial firm project is a strong entry into the Philippine market. But we must not ignore the internal flaws that might collapse it in the long run."
Everyone's eyes focused sharply.
