The next morning, the meeting room was filled with company executives and investors from various parts of the world. The atmosphere feels formal and heavy.
Leo sat next to Angel, whispering a little. "Ready?"
Angel nodded; his eyes fixed on the wide-open door. Investors began to enter the room. Heart pounding, he saw clearly a woman with thick-lensed glasses and a very familiar look. It was Jeniffer Rob, a legendary investor who was known to be very critical and sharp. His name is everywhere, and Angel has also learned in case studies.
The presentation began, a speech was made by Leo as the owner of the company and the most investors. Then the presentation was started by Angel. His voice sounded clear, confident, and also authoritative. Slide after slide presented by Rose works well, making complex data feel alive and easy to understand.
Everything went smoothly, until the question-and-answer session. It was started by Jeniffer Rob who raised her hand first.
"Interesting presentation, miss." he said. "But I see that there is an assumption that the oasis growth in the third quarter is too optimistic. Our internal power shows a slowing trend, even tending to decline due to political turmoil in Europe, can you explain that?"
The room became silent, Leo even shrugged his shoulders. That is the most feared question and one of the main reasons why the previous project was so stressful.
Angel didn't answer her right away, she thought for a moment and then smiled faintly, she knew this question would definitely come up.
"Mrs. Jeniffer is absolutely right, the trend is indeed slowing down," he said, making investors look at each other and whisper to each other. However, Angel continued his remarks, "But the mother we analyze here is not the growth of the general market, but the growth in the grands market which actually grew rapidly by 30% to be precise in the turmoil, due to changing consumption patterns. We are not here to chase a falling market. But we are aiming for a new market that was born from the turmoil. Our real-time data and predictions are on the appendix 27D slide."
Angel smoothly swiped the computer and displayed the slide he was referring to. A data that he and Nabil traced until dawn.
"Wow great, you don't just read the data, but you also read the opportunities behind the data. It's amazing."
Then the next thing went well, the questions given by Angel were answered easily.
The long-awaited ending, the meeting ended smoothly. Boisterous applause echoed in the room. Angel succeeded, the investors stood up to shake Leo and Angel's hand, and declared that they would continue to participate in the project.
Leo stared at Angel for a moment, a look that was hard to interpret but there was a sense of awe in his eyes.
"You did well Angel." To his credit, who also felt relieved by all this.
Angel breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not just me sir, all my colleagues are also working very hard." Said Angel who remembered how his theme friend worked until early in the morning.
"Everyone has worked hard, you guys are great." He said for all the remaining people.
"And for that, according to my promise that day, you can already occupy the apartment and for the rest, I will increase your salary and also the personal vehicle that has been bought." He said with his low voice and the same cold tone.
Hearing that, the five of them hugged each other and congratulated each other, this is a very big project and for that success they deserve it.
The whole office has heard about this, many praise them but not a few feels envious of it. Especially Victoria's jealousy of the heart is still there and is shown to Angel.
"It's not over yet, Angel." He said in a tone of anger and annoyance in himself.
Angel received a nearby apartment access card from this company. His feelings were mixed, he not only passed a fairly tough test but also got recognition in it.
However, there was a big question that bothered her mind. An accident that befell the person in charge of the previous project... Is it really an accident?
He stared at Leo for quite a long time, there was suspicion in that gaze. The investors haven't gone home, they chatted outside the meeting room with Leo, different Angel who stepped into his room, it was very tiring, he didn't sleep much, so he was allowed to rest for a while.
Leo looked at Angel who had already walked quite far, he didn't turn his gaze until Angel disappeared from his sight.
"Try to convince me, Angel, that you are indeed the person I need to get out of this darkness." The gum is slow.
