Chapter 96


    Thanks to Bruce and Cindy''s influence, I was also invited into Niki’s office.


    His secretary—who''d spoken to me arrogantly earlier—was now standing by the side.


    She was trembling with fear while she quietly listened to Niki’s reproach.


    After giving her a dressing-down, he looked toward me.


    In an apologetic tone, he said to his secretary, "Apologize to Ms. Fisher, now."


    His act was rather convincing


    I watched as Niki''s secretary looked terrified. But I didn''t take it to heart. So, I replied, "It had nothing to do with her. I was too careless."


    Upon hearing that, Niki nced over at Bruce and Cindy, as if he was trying to read their responses.


    Then, he consoled me, saying, "I appreciate your broad-mindedness, Ms. Fisher. I just found out that you work together with Mr. Harold and Ms.


    Lane.


    "My apologies if I have wronged you in any way.”


    His apology was directed at me. But it sounded as if his exnation was meant for Bruce.


    That being said, there were simr people in every industry. They had connections everywhere, and if this move could help me achieve my goal. I''d


    be more than happy to y along.


    “All''s good, Mr. Niki. Nance is known for being very forgiving," Cindy—who was sitting by the side—chimed in. She still had a slight smile on her


    face.


    Then, she continued, "That being said, I really never expected to bump into you at Mr. Niki''s, Nance. I guess we''re quite in sync.”


    I cringed and forced a slight smile on my face.


    The back of my foot was throbbing, and I was trying my best to quietly withstand the pain.


    At the same time, there was an inexplicable feeling of bitterness in my heart.


    Nevertheless, I decided to get straight to the point.


    "Mr. Niki, we''vee here today because we sincerely wish to invite Camille to partner with us. But, before that, I believe that he needs to have


    an all-rounded understanding of the partnership.


    "It was quite rushed thest time I came by, so I hadn''t prepared anything at the time. But beforeing over today, I prepared a simple video as an


    introduction to the project.


    “It''s not long. It''ll just take two minutes. Please help us to pass it on to Camille."


    Upon saying this, I handed over the USB with the copied file.


    I had spent the entire night editing the video.


    It was shartyet very detailed, and it.


    was certainly more interesting than


    flipping through a few pages of &


    project proposal. It would also” save


    hist more time.

    It was The Information Age after all. Of course we''d have toe up with ideas to captivate our clients within a couple of seconds.


    Furthermore, Camille—who was highly sought after—was the artist whom we were trying to get onboard.


    I guessed that he would only briefly nce through every chart. So, I had toe up with something more unique


    Niki raised his brows as a look of


    surprise t same across his face. Hes


    asked. 6ut of curiosity, "Ms. Fisher,


    would you mind if I take a look at it


    first?" ..~


    -


    "Of course not. I''d be more than happy to hear anyments from you personally too, Mr. Niki," I answered confidently.


    "Then, I should learn from Nance too." Cindy got up and came closer to me.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Then, in a rather humble posture, she said, "I want to see the tricks that she''s secretly got up her sleeves.”


    Cindy sounded yful, butshe


    completely hadn''t realized that this


    was a ‘érucial moment that I had”


    worked hard for. I aimed to get


    Niki s recognition. Content

    Oh, right.


    That wasn''t necessary from her perspective anyway.


    She had Bruce as her trump card. Of course she could do whatever she wanted. Unlike me, she didn''t need to be overly cautious.


    Shortly after, the short video ended


    Niki looked at me with a staggered look on his face.


    "Ms. Fisher, you are indeed someone whoes from a background in IT. This was a short video. Yet, you made it in such a unique way. I''m


    impressed.”


    Indeed, I had put in quite a bit of effort into making the video.


    asionally, Camille posted updates on his Facebook, so I referenced the style of his content in order toe up with the overall style for the video.


    My spection was that Camille wouldn''t have much time to work on showy content like that.


    Hence, there was only one possibility—Niki was the one who appreciated the aesthetics.


    "You''re too kind, Mr. Niki." I kept a calm expression on my face.


    Then, I exined truthfully, "All I did was apply some tricks. It''s not really up to standard."


    "That''s very modest of you, Ms. Fisher.”
