The Goliath vs David

"Mr. Reyes…Mr. Wei has arrived and is on the elevator as we speak," Juliet informed, prompting Michael to rise to his feet and straighten his suit. He took a deep breath, steadying his nerves for the crucial meeting ahead. His gaze swept across the room, ensuring everything was in place for a productive discussion. 

The table was set with Filipino cuisine that would welcome the guests with a taste of local hospitality. An assortment of Filipino snacks was spread across the table, including puto (steamed rice cakes), bibingka (coconut rice cake), and ensaymada (soft, buttery pastries topped with cheese). There were also bowls of kutsinta (sticky rice cakes), and alongside these, a platter of ripe mangoes, sliced and arranged artfully, added a vibrant splash of color to the array.
