New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 402 Venus AMD Press Release

A week later, Claire was gearing up for Venus AMD's press release and exhibition. She and Matthew were in the back seat of her car, her fingers drumming a light rhythm on the seat, eyes glinting with a mix of mischief and curiosity.

"So," Matthew asked, raising an eyebrow, "what are you expecting from today's show?"

Claire's lips curled into a smirk. "Honestly? I'm curious to see what Frank has cooked up this time. He's been going on and on about how Venus AMD is better than Metacortex."

Matthew chuckled, shaking his head. "You mean, he's been talking at everyone who'll listen. The guy's got an ego the size of this city. Think he will live up to his own hype?"

Claire let out a light laugh, looking amused. "Knowing Frank, he's either going to pull off something impressive... or crash and burn spectacularly."

"Wouldn't that be something?" Matthew grinned. "At least if he fails, his press release can join the list of disastrous PR events."

"And I am not the only one who's press release got ruin."

The two shared a chuckle, already imagining the possible mishaps waiting to unfold.

Meanwhile, at the venue, Frank was pacing backstage, exuding confidence-or, at least, trying to. He inspected the scene, eyes darting around to make sure everything was in order. His pride and joy-a state-of-the-art robot designed to make everyone forget about Metacortex-stood tall at center stage, surrounded by the tech team making last-minute tweaks. One of the techies nudged his colleague. "Think it'll hold up?"

The other tech shrugged, keeping his voice low. "Who knows? We've done our best, but that thing's about as stable as a deck of cards in a windstorm."

A third tech, overhearing, muttered under his breath, "Honestly, who cares? Frank's the worst CEO I've ever worked for. If it flops, maybe he'll take the hint."

Before they could go further, their team leader walked up, catching sight of Frank's intense gaze. With a forced smile, he approached Frank.
