"In every sense, these application will ensure complete and total reliability. My apps will not let you down." He paused, his hands intertwining in front of him as he gazed at the crowd. "I want to thank you all for letting me have the floor today, as well as inviting me down here and giving me the opportunity to present brand new technology that's on-the-go and completely efficient for your needs." Zayn spoke, his stance confident as eyes were watching his every move.

It's not like Zayn has spoken in front of loud crowds before but almost recently, he's been becoming more confident in his applications. It was making him millions. He's created an empire of apps associated mostly with traveling, planning or use of GPS. Not insanely creative but he has a game app in the works and he's excited to launch that as soon as possible.

Mr. Edson, CEO of Borough Airlines, adjusted himself in his chair as his eyes stayed on the young businessman, "Mr. Malik, that was a well-spoken and interesting presentation. Now, tell me, how were you able to think of such various apps that has come to be used by thousands, even millions?"

The whole room turned to look at Zayn once again. He cleared his throat and began to speak, "Well sir, I love to travel. Ever since I was child. It's just something I loved to do. Even if it was to the grocery store with my mother." The crowd murmured and he continued, "One day, I was working at my old job as a waiter when it came to me as I was walking home from having this horrendous day at work. I realized I needed a new job. And with a push of a friend, he introduced me into becoming my own boss."

He paused, adjusting his cuffs, "I had always been good with computers and things of that sort so I wanted to do something in that area. From the comfort of my own home. Then, Tracks was born. With the help of my mate back home, of course. He's the one that thought of the name." He chucked as he paced slowly around the front of the room.

"Great story, Mr. Malik. It goes to show that we all come from nothing and turn it into something."Mr. Edson said as the claps soon erupted as the group of men and women stood up to gather up their belongings. Zayn doing the same as he was finally done with his presentation. His finger glided on the mouse on his laptop, shutting it off. Gathering his papers, he placed them on top of his laptop and stuffed them into his small briefcase.

The men and women said their goodbyes and wished the young man good luck on his business. He returned the gesture and picked up his briefcase and walked out of the room, sliding out his phone to see 3 missed calls.

All from Gigi, his girlfriend. He had landed in New York yesterday and decided to surprise her last night, taking her to dinner.

He swiped the missed call and pressed his phone up to his ear. The rings only lasted three seconds before she answered his call.

"Baby!" There she was.

He chuckled at her excitement. She was always excited to see him. He licked his lips and looked ahead at him as he was heading towards his car. "How are you, gorgeous? I'm sorry I had to leave you this morning. You know I wouldn't have but I had a meeting."

"I understand, my love. How was the meeting? Did it go well?" All of sudden, her voice becoming high, "It better have because my baby deserves every standing ovation for his cute little presentations."

She was mocking him. He could not stand that baby talk, she did. Obviously, he knows that she was messing around so he just laughed as he hopped into his car, driving off towards her apartment.
