Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 29

Before twelve, she was out for the meeting.

There were some very big investors in town-known as the Oak investors who were looking to invest in some worthy companies. The interested companies were to meet with them and give them their reasons they should invest with them. Sylvie knew she wouldn't be the only one there, but she hoped her company would get selected. From what she heard, they were going to invest in five companies.

The meeting was taking place in a complex. She reached the floor of the meeting and was surprised to find Lana on the hallway. She'd been speaking with some ladies, but the moment she saw Sylvie, she left them to go meet her. Sylvie wasn't expecting to find her there.

"Hey, there. I knew you'd be here. Always needing people's money, huh?" She smiled.

With the way she spoke, a person who wasn't close enough would think they were having a blissful conversation.

"Irs called business and investment for a reason, Lana. Besides, why are you here if you don't here them?"

"Oh," Lana looked around. "Whoever said a company can grow tired of investments, huh?"

Rolling her eyes, Sylvie decided to walk away.

"All the best with your presentation, Sylvie!" Lana said after her.

The meeting commenced in a short while. The Investors - four of them were seated, while representatives from each company sat with them as well. It was a long table.

Each representative came out when it was their turn and spoke of their businesses - how good it was and why they should feel free to invest in them. They also gave them a rough sketch of what the investment could be about.

While speaking on the sketch, it displayed on the projector which they controlled and made reference to.

It got to Sylvie's turn in no time. She was brave and wasn't the type that usually had trouble speaking in public.

With her ever charming smile, she started her presentation, sounding very convincing. She was pleased when she saw three of the investors nodding their heads.

It got to the sketch. She'd prepared it already and had it stored in her hard drive like everyone else. She connected it to the projector and turned to the table, resuming her talk as she expected the images to slide on the screen. She wasn't looking, but she became confused Their faces held shock, they began to mumble.
