Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

45. Taste of business world.

The forum is taking place on the East coast, in New York, no less. And I for one, had never been to New York. In fact, I have never had the pleasure of leaving the west coast to visit anywhere else no matter how I wished, and my abysmal bad luck struck whenever there was a field trip organized for my class whenever there was something exciting going on. And that was saying something, considering how I rarely got sick.

But the few times I did, it was almost always on days when exciting field trips were scheduled. Which meant that I got the visit some boring powdered milk and dairy product factory which was just a stone’s throw away from Clandestine city, but never got to visit New York in the eighth-grade field trip because I apparently got food poisoning from some bad selfish after mom took me to an all-you-can-eat buffet the night before at a newly opened seafood restaurant.

And I wasn’t even allergic to it. Those damn oysters had just not agreed with me.

So, I was as excited as a puppy just to embark on this trip. And that excitement was almost enough to drown the sheer nerves I had regarding the forum.

The North American Business Forum was one of the biggest annual corporate events in this part of the world, and in order to participate in it, you had to get an invitation. And in order to get an invite, your company should be noteworthy. Almost every company in the country strived to get in, and only five hundred invites were sent per year.

I did not anticipate Zelt Tech getting an invite this year, and apparently, neither had Gerald. We thought we had years to go before we became noteworthy in any kind.

But we were pleasantly surprised.

At first, it was embarrassing, and when the idea was suggested, I really wanted to veto it. But given the situation we found ourselves in, we did not know what will happen.
