Chapter 6

 The executive dining board was a marvel of modern technology, with a sleek glass tabletop that seemed to float above the robotic workers moving beneath it. Timika's curiosity was piqued as she gazed at the robots, their shimmering metallic bodies and glowing digital displays a testament to their advanced capabilities.

"Tell me, Sophia," Timika asked, her eyes fixed on a robot expertly balancing a tray of drinks, "how do these robots work? They seem incredibly advanced."

Sophia smiled, her eyes shining with pride. "Ah, yes. Our robots are the latest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. They're capable of learning and adapting to new tasks and situations, making them incredibly efficient and effective."

Timika's eyes widened as she watched a robot effortlessly slice a steak, its precision and speed leaving her in awe. "That's amazing! How do they communicate with each other?"

"They use a complex network of sensors and algorithms to coordinate their actions," Sophia explained. "They can even anticipate each other's movements, allowing them to work together seamlessly."

As Timika continued to ask questions, the robots moved silently and efficiently around the table, serving dishes and refilling glasses with a precision that was almost hypnotic. The soft hum of their machinery and the gentle glow of their displays created a soothing background noise, adding to the futuristic ambiance of the dining area.

"I'm impressed," Timika said, her voice filled with admiration. "These robots are truly a testament to human innovation and ingenuity." 

 "Who built them."? Emily asked?

 "Ah, good question, Emily," Sophia replied, her smile growing wider. "The original robots were designed and built by our CEO, Marcus Thompson. He's a visionary and a genius in the field of artificial intelligence. He wanted to create a team of robots that could assist and augment human capabilities, and he's succeeded beyond our wildest dreams."

Timika's eyes lit up with excitement. "That's incredible! I'd love to meet him someday. He must be a fascinating person to talk to."

Sophia nodded. "He certainly is. Marcus is always pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and his passion for innovation is contagious. We're all inspired to work harder and think outside the box when we're around him."

 A robot approached and gave sophie a coded message."Ms.Jones,am sorry that we would have to ...cut our conversation short, but the CEO would like to see you in his office now," Sophia said, her expression apologetic.

Timika's eyes widened in surprise. "Now? I'd love to meet him, but I wasn't expecting it so soon."

Sophia smiled. "Marcus is a man who values efficiency and productivity. When he wants to meet with someone, he likes to do it promptly. Shall we go?"

Timika nodded, her heart racing with excitement. She followed Sophia out of the executive dining board, leaving the robots and their futuristic ambiance behind. They walked through a sleek, modern corridor, the walls adorned with holographic screens and futuristic artwork.

As they approached the CEO's office, Timika could feel her anticipation building. What would Marcus Thompson be like? What would he want to discuss with her? She took a deep breath, preparing herself for what was to come.

Sophia opened the door and gestured for Timika to enter. "Marcus, this is Timika Jones," she said, her voice professional. "Timika, this is our CEO, Marcus Thompson."

Timika stepped inside, her eyes fixed on the man behind the desk. Marcus Thompson? Why does this man look exactly like the Alexander she had back home.

Timika took a deep breath and composed herself, trying to hide her shock and confusion. She decided to play along, pretending she didn't know Marcus Thompson, and see where this encounter would lead.

"CEO Marcus Thompson," she said, extending her hand for a professional handshake. "It's an honor to meet you."

Marcus raised an eyebrow, his piercing green eyes scrutinizing her. "The pleasure is mine, Timika Jones," he replied, his voice cold and detached, yet polite. "Please, have a seat."

Timika sat down, trying to maintain a neutral expression. "CEO Thompson, I'm here to offer my services to advertise your technology company," she said, getting straight to the point. "I believe my team and I can help increase your brand's visibility and reach a wider audience."

Marcus/Alexander leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I see," he said, his voice measured. "And what makes you think you're the right person for the job, Ms. Jones?"

Timika smiled, trying to exude confidence. "My team and I have a proven track record of successful advertising campaigns, and I believe we can bring a fresh perspective to your company's marketing strategy."

Marcus raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable. "I'm intrigued," he said, his voice dripping with skepticism. "Tell me more."

As Timika began to pitch her ideas, she couldn't help but wonder what secrets this man was hiding. Was he really her husband Alexander, or was this just a remarkable coincidence?

 "Since it's a new company i think JJ teams has the best features for you." Timika said with a smile.

 Marcus leaned forward, his eyes sparkling with interest. "JJ Teams, you say? I'm not familiar with them. Tell me more."

Timika launched into a detailed explanation of JJ Teams' services and how they could benefit Marcus Thompson's technology company. As she spoke, she couldn't help but notice the way Marcus listened intently, his eyes never leaving hers. It was as if he was sizing her up, trying to determine if she was worthy of his trust.

"I see," he said, his voice thoughtful. "And what makes you think JJ Teams is the right fit for us?"

Timika hesitated for a moment before responding. "To be honest, CEO Thompson, I was impressed by your company's innovative approach to technology. I believe JJ Teams' creative and out-of-the-box thinking would complement your company's vision perfectly."

Marcus raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "I like your confidence, Ms. Jones. Very well, I'll consider your proposal. But I must warn you, I'm a man who values results above all else. If you can deliver what you promise, I'll make sure you're rewarded handsomely."

Timika smiled, trying to hide her unease. She couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this man than met the eye. And what did he mean by "rewarded handsomely"? She pushed the thought aside and focused on the task at hand. "Thank you, CEO Thompson. I won't disappoint you."

 The man nodded looking towards Sophie and Emily who stood steps away."Sophie draft a contract."
