Eden and Ken march into the room brimming with hope. Jeff meanwhile is escorted by his assistants and already waiting at the desk.

”Hope we weren’t late, Sir! We are ready to hear your funding request.”

”Please, do call me Jeff. We should be relaxed as this is a good event. I hope this deal with go smoothly.”

“Oh of course! We have everything prepared already and I do expect you to have your proposals ready as well. Please continue with the presentation. By the way, here are the terms and conditions of the agreement.”

Jeff sits upright and stands up to begin his monumental presentation. He spoke with confidence and charisma, effectively bringing his point across to us, the investors. Eden looks as the assistants and lawyers goes through the documentation carefully. There is a very small sliver of a chance that they spot that detail. It is nested and expressed in a particularly obscure way that will likely elude most of the population. Ken unwittingly goes along with it as well, eyeing the inspectors as sweat drips from his forehead.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

As Jeff concludes his presentation, his assistants and lawyers gives him the okay. He is very pleased that they have gone through the details of the proposal. Jeff gives his acknowledgment for the deal to go through. Eden and Ken heaves a sigh of relief. It is a miracle that never noticed that fine print.

Jeff thank Eden and Ken for their valuable time and promise them he would follow up with us regularly and that he will make the investment count. And that he will make them rich. At least that is his intention. As Jeff exits the room with his assistants and lawyers, Eden and Ken high fives each other. Eden knew he has succeeded, while Ken knew not only of the success but the looming future.
