Samantha's plan was bold, bordering on reckless. "We'll infiltrate the meeting as investors," she explained, her eyes sparkling with confidence. "I've secured fake identities and backstories. We'll blend in, gather intel, and sabotage Jai's plans."
Rory's doubts lingered, but Maya's nod of approval reassured her. "It's doable," Maya said. "But we need to move fast. Jai won't hesitate to eliminate anyone who gets in his way."
Alexander's expression turned grim. "I'll handle security. I know Jai's team."
Rory's unease flared. Could she trust Alexander?
As they prepared for the meeting, Samantha's expertise shone. Fake identities, convincing backstories, and impeccable disguises transformed them into high-rolling investors.
At the meeting, Jai's charisma dazzled the room. His pitch: a revolutionary AI system, capable of predicting market trends with uncanny accuracy.
Rory's instincts screamed warning. This was too good to be true.
Maya's subtle nod confirmed Rory's suspicions. They exchanged a silent message: find the flaw.
As Jai fielded questions, Alexander's eyes locked onto Rory's. His expression screamed warning: danger lurking.
Suddenly, a voice pierced the room. "Jai, what about the Eclipse protocol?"
Rory's heart skipped a beat. Eclipse?
Jai's smile faltered. "Ah, a minor technicality."
Samantha's eyes flashed. "I think we deserve clarification."
The room's tension spiked.
Jai's composure crumbled.
"We'll discuss Eclipse in private," Jai snapped.
Rory's determination hardened. They had to expose Jai.
But as they exited the meeting, Alexander's phone buzzed.
A cryptic message flashed on the screen.
"Meet me at the rooftop."
Alexander's eyes met Rory's.
"Rachel," he whispered.
Rory's trust issues resurfaced.
Was Alexander playing both sides?
