Chapter 19: An ascend to success.

As the morning sun rose over the city, the group prepared for another day at the company. They piled into a luxurious limousine, chatting and laughing together. Ava watched from a distance, her eyes narrowing as she wondered if Lyra was living in Ethan's mansion.

As they arrived at the company, Ava's gaze followed them, her eyes fixed on Lyra and Ethan. She saw how comfortable they were together, chatting and laughing like old friends. Ava felt a pang of envy and jealousy, knowing that Ethan had been distant with her since Lyra's creation.

Ava considered calling out to Ethan, but she hesitated, feeling a sense of insecurity wash over her. She knew she couldn't compete with Lyra's charm and intelligence, and she didn't want to risk being rebuffed.

As she stood there, feeling envious and left out, Ava couldn't help but think about how Ethan's attention had shifted since Lyra's arrival. She felt like she was losing her connection with him, and it hurt.

Meanwhile, Whimsy was lost in his own thoughts, his mind consumed by the upcoming tournament. He was an exceptionally talented cyber expert, with a natural aptitude for hacking, coding, and gaming. His skills were unmatched, and his dedication to his craft was unwavering. Yet, despite his confidence in his abilities, Whimsy had consistently failed to achieve his goal of winning the tournament. He had worked tirelessly for years, pouring all his energy into perfecting his craft, but somehow, he always fell short.

The fear of failure loomed large in Whimsy's mind, casting a shadow of doubt over his abilities. He was terrified to ask Lyra for help, fearing that she might confirm his worst fears - that he was destined to fail. The thought of his friends mocking him, calling him a loser, was a constant nagging voice in his head. Whimsy knew he had the skills to succeed, but his fear of failure and rejection held him back. He was torn between his desire to win and his fear of being ridiculed.

As he struggled with his doubts, Whimsy couldn't help but wonder if he would ever be able to overcome his fears and achieve his dreams. Would he ever be able to break free from the shackles of self-doubt and unleash his true potential? Only time would tell, but for now, Whimsy was stuck in a cycle of fear and uncertainty, unable to move forward.

With a newfound determination, Whimsy decided to push aside his fears and ask for Lyra's help when the time was right. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was willing to take the risk. He would approach Lyra with confidence and humility, hoping that she would see the potential in him and agree to assist.

As Lyra and Ethan walked towards the chairman's office, Ava watched them with a growing sense of envy and jealousy. She had been trying to get Ethan's attention for weeks, but he had been distant and preoccupied since Lyra's arrival. Ava's eyes narrowed as she saw Lyra laughing and chatting with Ethan, feeling like she was being replaced.

But as they approached the office, Lyra's expression changed to one of surprise and curiosity. She had not expected to see a woman who looked identical to the chairwoman sitting beside the chairman. The chairman smiled warmly and introduced the woman as his wife and the chairwoman of the company.

Lyra's eyes widened in amazement as she greeted the chairwoman, who beamed with happiness.

"I've been away for months, and I'm so thrilled to see the company thriving,"

She said, her eyes shining with pride.

"You, Lyra, are the reason for our success. I'm so grateful to have you on our team."

The chairwoman invited Lyra to dine at her house that night, and Lyra happily accepted. She was looking forward to getting to know the chairwoman better and learning more about the company's history.
