Elite Connections started off as a business proposal for Arya's senior project. She had been nicknamed the matchmaking friend throughout high school and decided to plan out an idea company, not knowing that this proposal would carry her through coll...

"I don't have time to play with you right now, Amira." Amira decided to wait until right before Ethan was scheduled to sign the contract to inform Arya that she was matched with Ethan Christensen. She knew the less time her sister had to act the more it would make her jump into an impulsive decision and sign the contract.
"Ry, I'm serious. You know I use your profile as a model when I'm matching my clients. Your profile is the only one that breaks down all the analytics for determining compatibility. As soon as I unlocked your profile the system matched you with Ethan. I tried to undo it but it had already sent out the automated message notification with your profile to inform him of his match. I don't have anyone else whose profile is even close to yours."
"That doesn't even make sense, Amira. In order to match with any of the Christensen men you have to have a net worth of at least a billion dollars. I'm not in that bracket." Arya shook her head in disbelief while pulling up her profile in the system to see that it was indeed unlocked and matched. None of this made sense to her. Her clients were very particular when it came to income preferences which is why she had her IT team make sure the system wouldn't make any exceptions with considering profiles that didn't meet those requirements.
"Elite Connections is worth a few billions. You've been featured in Forbes twice now." Amira hated how her sister always made it seem as if she wasn't just as well off as some of her clients.
"Yes, my company is worth a lot, not me. Until I buy out all of my investors my net worth will never match my company's."
"You're not that far from it, sis. Look, if he had a complaint about your net worth he would've mentioned it to me. He already called me extremely excited about your profile. Do you want me to call him and tell him not to show up and that there was a glitch in the system?"
"We can't do that! This is bad, Amira. I can't tell a tech heir that our system glitched and matched him with the wrong person. My company is built off of technology. I should trust the system, I'm the one who built it. There has to be a reason it would match us even with me not meeting the income requirements. I don't know what to do. None of this makes sense." Amira watched her sister, trying her hardest to keep from breaking and telling her the truth.
Arya would do anything for Amira, and she'd proved that plenty of times. Amira couldn't help but feel like she was betraying her sister, but she was too deep in to turn back now. She had already gone too far by manipulating the system that her sister took pride in, and she could never admit that to Arya. She had to sell the positives to reassure the both of them that this was the right decision.
"You know what you have to do. With as many doubts as Ethan had about being matched already if this contract doesn't go through then he won't go through the process again. That's a five hundred thousand dollar contract down the drain. That's also a relationship with your top investor that's then in jeopardy. Look at it this way, your system matched you. It might have been sooner than you wanted, but with the way you work you would've never been ready. You're already familiar with his family and it's an all expense paid wedding." Arya heard what Amira was saying, but it was still hard to process what was going on.
