Lisa was hurt by what Alex said to her last night. It didn't crossed her mind that Alex really hated her so much. To make the situation worse, she got a document that was sent by Claire's lawyer. Lisa just hated Claire so much because of her Alex hate her and he doesn't even want to talk to her again. Back then it wasn't like this. Everything was fine and peaceful.

Each stair she climbed became heavy. She doesn't even know what she is doing in Metacortex.

One thing Lisa set her aim on is to ruin Claire with every chance she can get.

Inside, Claire was in a meeting with her team, discussing the latest updates on Cortex 2.0. The atmosphere was tense and focused, everyone engrossed in their tasks.

One of the employees, Mr. Brown, was standing at the front after giving his presentation. As he glanced outside, his expression changed. He frowned, noticing a gathering of people below.

"Mr. Brown," Claire called, but he remained fixated on the scene outside. Irritated, Claire called again, more firmly this time. "Mr. Brown!"

He snapped his attention back to her, blushing slightly. "Sorry, Ms. Peterson. I just... saw something outside."

Mr. Brown pointed towards the window. "I'm not sure, but there's a crowd gathering."

Claire stood up and walked to the window. Sure enough, there was a group of people staring up at the building. She frowned, trying to understand what was happening.

"What are they doing?" Claire wondering curiously. Each one of the employees stood up to see the crowd gathering, then the meeting room burst open. Their attention turned towards the door.
