Chapter 13 - The meeting

The scent of old books and leather wafted through the air, mingling with the faint smell of Young Master Jacob's cologne. I quickly grasped the key points and began to analyze the financials, my mind racing with numbers and projections. My business management degree had prepared me well for this task, and I felt a surge of confidence as I understood the company's financial situation.

"Okay, so it looks like the new business venture is projected to generate significant revenue in the first quarter," I said, pointing to the financial projections on the sleek, silver laptop. "But what about the risks? What are the potential challenges we might face?"

Mr. Reg nodded, his piercing orange-yellow eyes gleaming with interest. "Excellent question, Jennie. We've identified a few potential risks, including market competition and supply chain disruptions. But we've developed strategies to mitigate those risks and ensure the project's success."

I nodded, taking note of the potential risks and strategies. "I see. And what's the expected ROI for the investors?" I asked, referring to the return on investment.

Mr. Reg smiled, seeming to appreciate my business acumen. "We've projected a significant ROI, around 20% in the first year. We believe this project has the potential to be very lucrative for our investors."

As I finished reviewing the presentation, Young Master Jacob's expression shifted from anger to a mixture of surprise and admiration. His deep grey eyes sparkled with interest as he leaned back in his chair. "You're quite...impressive, Jennie," he said, his voice deep but slightly softer. "I didn't expect you to grasp the financials so quickly."

Mr. Reg chuckled, his smile growing wider. "I told you, Young Master Jacob, Jennie's background in business management would be an asset."

The young master nodded, his eyes still fixed on me. "Yes, well...let's hope she can translate that into a successful presentation .."

Just then, Miss Lily burst into the study, her elegant demeanor momentarily replaced by a sense of haste. "Young Master Jacob, the guests have arrived," she announced, her voice breathless. "They're being escorted to the conference room as we speak."

Young Master Jacob's eyes snapped back to me, his expression intense. "Very well, Jennie. It's time to put your skills to the test. Let's go."

"Remember, Jennie," Mr. Reg whispered, his voice low and soothing. "You've got this. Just be confident and articulate your thoughts and words."

As we walked towards the conference room, the soft hum of conversation and the clinking of cups filled the air. I could feel the tension building, my senses on high alert.
