Formalities and the Start of the New Project

October 9th, 2028: The White House Dining Room

Michael Reyes and Bridget entered the opulent dining room, where President Greene and a few key advisors awaited them. The room was elegantly decorated, with a long table set for an intimate dinner. Candles flickered softly, casting a warm glow over the polished silverware and fine china.

"Mr. Reyes, Ms. Bridget, welcome," President Greene greeted them warmly, gesturing for them to take their seats. "I hope you find the setting comfortable. Tonight, let's discuss the future in a more relaxed atmosphere."

"Thank you, Mr. President," Michael replied, taking a seat next to Bridget. "This is quite a privilege."

As they settled in, servers appeared, bringing an array of exquisite dishes. The conversation began casually, with the President sharing anecdotes about his experiences in office and Michael talking about his journey in technological innovation.
