This is because Jeff is considered a high priority target who are susceptible to kidnappers and murderers. Many people want to be in his position and many others hate him for being in it. Notwithstanding, Jeff takes on his role nonchalantly, paying little to no attention at the people that are jealous of him. He has already made it. There is little that they can do now.

Ken and Eden meet halfway at their office building again. They exchange some pleasantries before getting down to official business. They knew that they had a prime target at hand. But each one of them had a different agenda. Ken just wants to close the funding round so that the company can move forward. Meanwhile Eden has more insidious plans. He has already drafted up a small minor but extremely consequential detail in the terms and conditions of the funding. He knew that the lawyers nor Jeff will ever spot this. This will ruin their company and cause Jeff to lose his position as the CEO. Eden silently smiles in his heart as he keeps his secret close to his heart.

But completely unbeknownst to Eden, Ken has spotted the rather obscure detail. And he chooses to keep mum for now. Only time will tell what comes out of this eventual funding round and meeting.
