WILD COUPLE

Lena walked into the meeting room, confident and poised. She was about to close a major deal with one of the biggest investors in the city. Her company, Harris Enterprises, was on the verge of expanding into new markets, and this investment would be the key to unlocking that growth.

As she shook hands with the investor, Marcus Thompson, she flashed him a warm smile. "Marcus, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person. I've heard great things about your business acumen."

Marcus smiled back, clearly charmed by Lena's charm. "The pleasure is all mine, Lena. Your reputation precedes you. You're known for being one of the most innovative and driven businesswomen in the city."

Lena laughed, a throaty sound that was both confident and playful. "I try to stay ahead of the curve, Marcus. And I think our companies share a similar vision for the future."

The two of them sat down at the conference table, surrounded by their respective teams. Lena's team was comprised of some of the brightest minds in the business world, and they had all been working tirelessly to prepare for this meeting.

As they began to discuss the terms of the investment, Lena was in her element. She was a master negotiator, and she knew exactly how to get what she wanted.

"I'm looking for a significant equity stake in your company," Marcus said, his voice firm but polite. "I'm willing to invest $10 million, but I want 20% of the company."

Lena leaned forward, her eyes locked on Marcus's. "I understand your concerns, Marcus, but I think 10% would be a more reasonable stake. We're looking for a partner, not a majority shareholder."

The negotiations went back and forth, with both sides making concessions and counteroffers. But in the end, Lena got what she wanted. The investment was finalized, and Harris Enterprises would receive the funding it needed to take the next step.

As the meeting concluded and the contracts were signed, Lena felt a sense of satisfaction. She had dominated the business world once again, using her intelligence, and negotiating skills to get the deal done.

The investment would be a game-changer for Harris Enterprises, and Lena knew that she had made the right decision. She was a businesswoman, a leader, and a visionary. And she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

As she left the conference room, Lena was met with congratulations from her team. They were all excited about the new investment, and they knew that this was just the beginning.

"We did it, president Harris," her CFO said, beaming with pride. "We're going to shake the business world."

Lena smiled, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. "We're just getting started," she said. "Let's make it happen."

As the days went by, Lena's company, Harris Enterprises, was on a roll. The investment from Marcus Thompson had given them the boost they needed to expand into new markets and explore new opportunities.

Lena was in high demand, speaking at conferences and meeting with other business leaders to discuss potential partnerships and collaborations. She was a rockstar in the business world, and her company was riding high on her success.

But not everyone was happy about Lena's success. There were those who resented her for her rapid rise to the top, and who were jealous of her intelligence and charisma.

One such person was Victoria, a rival businesswoman who had always felt threatened by Lena's success. Victoria had been trying to sabotage Lena's company for months, spreading rumors and lies about her and her business practices.

One day, Victoria made a bold move, by stomping into Harris enterprise and accusing Lena of insider trading and threatening to expose her to the authorities. Lena was furious, but she knew she had to keep her cool.

"Victoria, you're just jealous of my success," Lena said, her voice calm and collected. "You can't accept that I'm better than you, so you're trying to tear me down."
