Two days later, Larson Group was set to announce the selected company for its sponsorship project. The final choice would be made between Amber Group and Zarena Group.
Serena stepped into the meeting room in a crisp white professional outfit. The executives of Larson Group had yet to arrive.
Dressed in a black suit and a blue tie, Zach had been waiting there for quite stime. As their eyes locked, he was certain of his win.
With Foster Group behind it, Zarena Group might not be the most powerful in Javerton City, but it was still a nationally recognized company. On the other hand, Serena's Amber Group was on the brink of bankruptcy and supported only by the declining Jansen Group.
Still, unwilling to see Serena disheartened, he assured her, "No matter how things turn out today, I won't let you walk away empty-handed." Serena casually pulled out a chair and sat down. Crossing her legs, she lifted her chin slightly. "The decision hasn't been made yet, Mr. Foster. You might want to hold off on making promises about future benefits." "You sound so confident. Did Hugh promise you something?" Zach frowned at once.
A cold glint flashed in Serena's eyes. "If I had pulled strings to secure the project, then why are you still sitting here? Waiting to be turned down and embarrass yourself?" Zach fell silent. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop linking Serena and Hugh together. However, as he thought deeper, he figured if Hugh truly intended to give Serena the project, he wouldn't need to go through the official selection process. He could simply hand her multiple projects directly.
After much deliberation, he finally spoke. "I'm sorry, Serena. I just care about you too much. I don't want to see you getting played by that old man, Hugh..." "Mr. Foster, this isn't the place for personal matters. If you're so eager to express your insincere affection, just walk out the door and leave the project to me," Serena interrupted him icily.
Having been rebutted again and again, Zach's expression grew darker. He fell into silence and said no more. Before long, the project manager, Grace Graham, arrived belatedly.
"Sorry for being a bit late, and I appreciate you both coming here. This project is of great importance, and we want to ensure that the party who doesn't win won't walk away with any regrets." With that, she walked straight toward Zach.

Serena's hand curled into a fist beneath the table. Given Amber.
Group's current state was still no it match for Zarena Group. If defeat was inevitable, she would take it in stride. Zach's face lit up with joy. He stood up and was ready to shake hands with Grace and express his pleasure in working together.
Grace, however, hesitated before speaking. "Regrettably, after reviewing Zarena Group we found that it's supported by Foster Group in Yellowbrook City, has stable financials, and is already operating at near capacity."
She paused briefly before adding, "Larson Group's sponsorship project aims to invest in companies with greater potential and room to grow, fostering mutual benefits through market expansion. With that in mind, I regret to inform you that we have chosen Amber Group." Grace went on, stating her desire for future collaborations with Zarena Group. While no compensation was offered, she painted an optimistic picture.
However, Zach couldn't process a single word. He firmly believed that Zarena Group had just as much potential as Amber Group.
