The Scandal With My Boss

Chapter 31 - Presentation

Anne spread her gaze to look at the thousands of people waiting for her to make a sound, her heart beating until she finally took a slow breath after seeing a sweet smile from Darren who was waving his hand.

"Hello all introduce me to Annetasyah Cloper representative from Great AND Enterprise," Anne smiled kindly.

Anne stood introducing her company along with the idea of those who wanted to make her self-driving car, she smoothly explained everything until the last session that was a question session.

Some of them raised their hands wanting to ask his question.

"Is this automatic steering almost the same as Tesla's?"

"Not necessarily very different we Tesla can only detect paved roads that have been given road markers only and can only be detected by maps while AERO SPORT can detect all roads even without the need another marker," said Anne.

AERO SPORT is the name of a car that is made as the first automatic steering car that their company makes.

The answer to that question just got a round of applause from the audience and Jackson raised his hand to make Anne even more nervous.

"I'd like to ask you as an investor in your company Miss Anne. Is the driver's safety 100% guaranteed when they choose to turn the steering wheel on?"

"We cannot guarantee the safety of the driver because it is only God who knows it but what we are doing now is to make this car really run well without any damage when the driver takes it in sleeping, or drunk."

Darren gave his applause he was really amazed at the woman who was so very clever in answering all the questions of some great people who asked questions for him.

Anne's time was up and she came down from the top of the podium beating her heart was still beating so fast and the instant Darren approached her Anne immediately scattered into Darren the man had given her a chance to show her ability.

"You're great my boo managed to carry our company's name well, even I was amazed when you could answer one by one their questions."

"Thanks Darren,"

"Not Darren,"

"Yes thanks my boo," he said fixing his sentence just now.

Jackson watched the two embrace he could see the happy look on his son's face, in his mind right now is what happiness Darren is with Anne to the point that his beloved son is willing to let go of everything and start everything from scratch with the woman he says he loves so much.

"I saw you attend a demo event held by Silver Group even you asked a question for Great Enterprise. Are you there to support them?"

"Yes, I was there to see my son Darren's company." Jackson replied to Vincent's question, who was coming back to his office.

Vincent looked at her sharply, "Are you supporting them now? Did you forget Jack by your promise," Vincent was furious.

"I'm sorry Vincent I couldn't have ruined the company they founded, and I couldn't have made two humans who loved each other let go of each other." he said and immediately Vincent slammed a vase of flowers in Jackson's room.

"You betrayed me Jack,"

"I've never thought like that, I'm sure Moa will definitely find the right guy but not Darren,"

"**** BLUE! YOU'LL SEE WHAT I'M GONNA DO TO DARREN AND THAT WOMAN." Vincent threatened to make Jackson speechless.

Yes, after the demo suddenly in his office Jackson got a guest arrival, Vincent who suddenly asked him such a thing. Not want to betray but want how Jackson was once young, he was, he knows what it's like to be forced to part with the woman he loves and if Jackson is in Darren's position he will surely do the same leaving everything as long as he can live happily with the woman he loves loved him.

"Damn! Let's see if I'm going to destroy everything, they've put my daughter Moa down" Vincent said, hitting the steering wheel.

He doesn't accept the fact that Jackson is starting to support Darren's relationship with Anne even if he wants to invest in Darren's company, he would make Jackson feel sorry for having betrayed him all this time Vincent had been so kind to Jackson at a time when the man was still in distress that extending his hand was he was not someone else but like this jackson's reply to him.

"I'll make you regret Jackson Alexander!"

Is it so hard to marry Darren to Moa.

***

In Darren's office, Anne and Kalvin and their other core employees are waiting for a decision on whether their company will graduate to the next round.

"My heart beats so fast like the one who just declared his love."

"Yes, look like that Rick, too" Kalvin said.

Unlike Darren and Anne who look just silent while paying attention to the screen of her laptop, they are worried that it will not be a problem if their company does not qualify because they have received an injection of funds from Jackson but still the name of the competition there must be a sense of anxiety.

"You nervous Anne?"

"No,"

"Even I don't feel nervous at all because I'm pretty sure we'll get away with it,"

"Whoa look one more minute let's count down to 50.49.48.47.46.45." Rick said, pointing at the laptop screen.

The tense face was very visible from all of them in a few seconds the announcement would come out and instantly everyone was screaming hysterically.

"WE'RE THROUGH TO THE FINAL ROUND,"

The thunderous applause was very clear in the room they gave each other warm hugs, including Anne who gave a close hug to Darren both smiling sweetly at each other.

"Ehem.. Cie.. " Anne immediately let go of her embrace she felt ashamed of being noticed by the other employees.

"We should not be happy because our opponent next week is SAN Global Group they bring the same idea with our company,"

"We can definitely beat him" Kelvin said.

Of the many startups that took part in the competition, only three companies graduated to the final round, namely SAN Global Group, Great AND Enterprise and GM Enterprise. And their opponents are very heavy both carry the same idea of making an automatic steering car.

"Let's just be sure we'll beat them all, Kelvin you should be even more excited I believe all this to you because during the driver test later the quality of the ideas we make will be very influential from the assessment later," said Darren.

Yes, as a CTO at Great Enterprise company Kelvin had to carry out an important task because he and his teammates were going to design the self-driving car.
