Dormant Volcano

When Nader's eyes meet Mary, they instantly get to know each other.

Mary was certainly shaken at first, but she quickly recovered and changed from a frightened cat into a wild tiger.

Nader, "Oh, the phoenix, is that true?! I cannot believe my eyes!"

Mary mockingly, "Ooh, Jackpot the Coward!, I never expected to meet you again. What bad luck."

Nader, "do you consider your luck bad, just because you meet me?"

Mary, "no, I think that your luck is bad because I met you. So you are Nader Al-Masry!"

Nader, "Yes, let us forget the past, I was a reckless child. I apologize for what happened to you earlier, I do not think that this incident affected you in the first place, just look at you, you are in a high position now."

Mary, "yes, it was nothing"

Nader, "then let us start over"

Mary, "I do not know what you are talking about, but all I know is that the only beginning that can bring us together is work."

Nader, "if it is work, can I meet you to discuss some business stuff?"

Mary, "I don't think so, my company is doing well, and in a few months, everyone is rushing to buy shares. Soon we will be the number 1 company in the market, so I don't think you can help me with anything as we are competitors, I never think my boss would want to be with you."

Nader, "As you want, we will see who is the first company in the market"

Mary, "I hope we have a fair competition"

Mary comes out of the party hall, and never looks back, and Nader looks at her from afar

As soon as she gets away from people, Mary rests her head on the wall, and starts to cry, "you bastard, you bastard, I will never give up my right, I will never give up"

Indeed, Khaled marvels at the extent of Mary's exaggerated activity, as she never sleeps, and strictly implements his instructions, because she had rejected the idea of bringing down the Al-Masry company in this way. She started taking all deals from Nader with great skill.

She gained the trust of everyone in the market. The moment that Khaled has been waiting for, the moment of revenge has come, Khaled goes to his father and tells him everything that happened in Cairo, and about Mary's skill, and that she shortened a long way for him.

So, Farther, I surrounded Nader from every direction here, and in Cairo, he is now between the hammer and the anvil. Mary has taken From him, more than one deal, and he fell into my trap, he is now like a slaughtered bird who is waiting for someone to come to his rescue. Soon his company will go bankrupt. It is only a matter of time.

Mr. Aziz, "you and Mary, must have united on the same goal!"

Khaled, "what do you mean, I never took advantage of her emotions with me, I never forced her to do anything, she made all my plans of her free will, perhaps she would prove herself, The main reason was that she never erred in the methods of management, and she did not use any devious methods to set up Nader. I watch her closely, don't worry"

Mr. Aziz, "I do not mean that"

Khaled, "So what do you mean father?"

Mr. Aziz, "nothing, but my son, you haven't changed your mind? can't you back down?"

Khaled, "No, even if it cost me my whole life, he killed my family, my joy, and my reason for living"

Khaled's eyes widen, his features change, and it seems as if someone else is speaking. At that moment, Mr. Aziz knows that there is no way to escape from revenge and that he must prepare for the worst scenario, for during all this time Khaled was nothing but a raw volcano.

Jealousy was eating Nader alive, not only because his company was collapsing, but also because there was someone smarter than him because he never admitted the existence of that person. Because of his company badly damaged he thinks in a dirty way to recover it again.

Nader still kept those pictures from that night, so he thought about using them, knowing well how very conservative his society is. they will not allow a company run by a woman of notoriety, to become Number 1, but what he was thinking is that if he sends them to the scandalous press, his face will appear too. His company may also be damaged, so he used the most efficient graphic designers to modify the images so that only his body and not his face would appear.

Indeed, he got what he wanted, and waited for the date of the conference for foreign investors, which everyone is waiting for, because it is one of the best opportunities to increase commercial relations at home and abroad, in which most businessmen and investors from Cairo and foreigners meet, and most of the press platforms cover it

Nader gives the pictures to his assistant to replace them with the content that was to be shown on the projector screen, for the achievements of the past year of projects, and the stages of economic growth

Nader feels pleased, especially when he sees in Mary's eyes the look of victory over him, he says to himself, "a little, just a little, and we will see if that look will continue or will it change to a humiliating look."

As he went to sit at his table, he met Harry

Harry, "Jackpot! Glad to see you, I have always wanted to meet you, but always refused"

Nader, "hmm, yes I am swamped, see you later"

Harry, "for the good old days, why don't you want to see me, or is it because I'm of no use to you?"

Nader, "I told you I am rushed"

Harry sarcastically, "busy! , I know the position of your companies in the states and here, so you are busy!!"

Nader, "what do you mean?"

Harry, "I know very well that the Green Tree Company is fighting you here and there. What have you done to them? Have they forgiven you yet?"

Nader, "I do not know what you are talking about!"

Harry, "this is the tax for not meeting me"

Nader, "speaks or leaves, I am waiting for someone"

Harry, "Well I guess you know who is running the company, she is the Phoenix"

Nader, "yes, and what's new in this? I've known that for months."

Harry, "do you know who the owner of the company is?"

Nader, "it's Khaled Asim"

Harry, "does this remind you of anything?"

Nader, "you are wasting my time. Wait a moment do you mean that Mr. Asim her boyfriend is the real owner of the company!"

Harry, "if you had agreed to meet me, or even answer my phones, you would have known that Mr. Asim was her mother's lover and not her lover. Mary has never known a man as far as I know."

Nader, "what! That's not what you told me before?"

Harry cuts him off, "yes at that time I was holding a grudge against her, so I told you I spent a night with her, but that never happened, at last time I met you, when left you and went to Mr. Asim to get revenge on her, I knew that he was her mother's lover, he had shown me their pictures together long ago, and that her mother had entrusted him the task of looking for her daughter after her death.

So everything he did to me was out of protection, so I gave him the right for what he did to me, but when I wanted to tell you the truth, unfortunately, you refused to meet me, and I think Mary is here to take revenge on you.

Nader grabs Harry by the collar, and yells at him, "You made me do this. You lied to me, telling me that you picked photos for her going up to the old man's room and that you spent the night with her.

Harry holds Nader's hand and tells him, "I already took her picture, but this was a misunderstanding from me, but, hey, are you telling me you wouldn't have done it if Mary was chaste!! Don't laugh at yourself, as long as you like, the bet all you had in your mind was the right of management no more no less"

Nader thinks to himself, "I do not think she ever came here to take revenge on me, I saw her look at me when I first met her. She was completely surprised, but Harry's words solved all the puzzles I was thinking of. All the losses the Green Tree Group inflicted on me must have been no coincidence. If what Harry said was true, and I showed the pictures to the public, they would know that I was the reason behind it, and they would follow me more often what should I do now"

Nader calls his assistant to stop everything, but unfortunately, the conference begins, the lights go out, the explanation begins, and Mary's pictures appear already.

Harry approaches Nader and says to him, "Loser after I told you the truth, you still wanted to hurt her, you opened fire on yourself, what a loser!"

Nader tries to conceive a solution to this matter, but he gets out of control, the lights turn on, and most of the audience points to Mary, the deputy of the notorious Green Tree Company, who is in shameful condition. Very conservative, he never allows such shameful situations. More than one investor says that he will withdraw his shares and investments from the company and that he is not honored to be part of this other, and another part says that they want to know the main financier of the company since the company has arrived at that speed, there must be something wrong behind it, but More than wounding Mary, some people said that she took advantage of her beauty to make deals for her company. Mary spoke but no one heard her, but that Nader's assistant had hired some attendees to throw food on Mary, they do it more and more. Mary tried to control herself, but in the end, a woman did not She could not stand that her feet couldn't hold, so she started falling, but someone was supporting her and did not allow her to fall. Mary looked at the face of whom who helped her, and the surprise was that he was Khaled
