In the early morning hours, New York City awakens with a frenetic energy all its own. The city streets, still illuminated by the remnants of the night's glow, begin to stir with the first whispers of dawn. As the sun timidly peeks above the towering skyscrapers, a symphony of sounds fills the air - the distant rumble of subway trains, the impatient honking of taxis, and the hurried footsteps of commuters eager to conquer the day.

Waking in the cocoon of luxury that envelops his penthouse suite, the billionaire boss begins his day with the quiet assurance of someone accustomed to power and privilege. As the first rays of dawn filter through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow upon the opulent furnishings, he emerges from his slumber with a sense of purpose. With a flick of a switch, the room is bathed in soft, ambient light, revealing the sleek lines of modern decor and the exquisite taste that permeates every corner of his domain. The plush carpet cushions his footsteps as he strides across the room, his mind already racing with the day's agenda.

In the sanctuary of his marble-clad bathroom, he indulges in a ritual of grooming befitting his stature. A splash of cool water revitalizes his senses, while the rich lather of artisanal shaving cream caresses his jawline with each precise stroke of the razor. As he meticulously tends to his appearance, there is an air of unwavering confidence that radiates from his every movement. Dressed in impeccably tailored attire, he descends the spiral staircase that leads to the heart of his domain - a sleek, minimalist kitchen where a team of staff stand ready to cater to his every whim.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, mingling with the tantalizing scent of a gourmet breakfast spread meticulously prepared to his exact specifications. With a glance at the morning headlines flashing across the wall-mounted screens, he absorbs the latest developments in the fast-paced world of finance and industry. Armed with knowledge and determination, he sets out to conquer the day, his path illuminated by the boundless ambition that drives him to reach ever greater heights of success.

-TIME SKIPS (AT HIS OFFICE)-

Stepping out of his Ferrari, he headed straight towards his building. Upon entering, everyone in the hallway bowed to him in respect but he kept his cold straight face and kept walking ahead, though his eagle-like eyes scanned everything around him. His secretary Ben, waited for him near the elevator and together they entered the elevator.

Marcus: Good morning, Ben. Any urgent matters requiring my attention today?

Ben: Good morning, Mr. Hernandez. Yes, we have the quarterly reports from the finance department ready for your review. They're on your desk.

Marcus: Excellent, thank you, Ben. I'll make sure to go through them promptly. Also, remind me about the meeting with the investors at 10 a.m. Have all the necessary documents been prepared?

Ben: Yes, sir. The presentation slides are finalized, and the documents are ready for distribution. Everything is set for the meeting.

Marcus: Perfect. And what about the status of the merger negotiations with Smithson Enterprises?
