Alex made his way to his office, but as he entered, he was surprised to find Christian lounging on his couch, engrossed in a game on his phone. Alex greeted him sarcastically, to which Christian responded with a grin and a salute. "Working hard, I see," Alex remarked dryly.

"I'm thinking to go for a mysterious but technology theme."

"Why?"

"Because it is unusual, and it will pique people interest."
