The results

Apollo was carefully assessing the proposal presented Mr. Clad regarding the creation of new designs for the Dunn Root's luxury jewelry line. He was determined to find the perfect additions to their label that would not only meet their aesthetic standards but also appeal to their exclusive clientele. The pressure was on to come up with something extraordinary, something that would elevate the Dunn Root brand even further and strengthen their position in the luxury jewelry .

As Apollo lazily scrolled through the documents, his focus on the screen was interrupted by a knock on the door. He lifted his

gaze from the computer and replied with a casual, "Come in."

It had been just a week since Apollo had tasked Linda with investigating the Cruze Empire, and there she was, walking into his office carrying a stack of documents. He leaned back in his chair with a playful twirl, his eyes fixated on her as she approached.

Linda adjusted her cat-eye glasses, feeling a blush creeping onto her cheeks. She couldn't help but wonder why Apollo was looking at her the way he was. The intensity of his gaze made her heart skip a beat. 'Why was she even working with a hot boss like Apollo Dunn!!!"

"I've got the intel you requested, Mr. Dunn," Linda reported. "Okay," Apollo replied with a nod. "Take a seat." He gestured to the chair across from him. Linda nodded and took a seat, feeling a flutter of nervousness in her stomach.

Apollo sat up straight and observed Linda with a soft smile. "I noticed you're wearing your glasses today," he commented. "Any particular reason?" Linda blushed and began to respond, but Apollo didn't let her finish. "Enough with the small talk.Let's cut to the chase," he interrupted."What did you find about the Cruze Empire?"

Linda sat down before Apollo, her hands trembling slightly out of the nervousness .She began to explain, "I have been researching the Cruze Empire. Their USP, or Unique Selling Proposition, is massive."

Apollo leaned forward, listening intently."Really?"

"Yes please.In addition to their jewelry designs, they also have several locations, much like a chain of companies," Linda continued. "They have a strong presence across various markets, making them a formidable competitor in the luxury jewelry market."

Linda looked up at Apollo, gauging his reaction. He seemed deep in thought, absorbing her words. She continued, "Moreover, the Cruze Empire seems to have a vast network of suppliers and connections, which gives them access to rare and valuable materials for their jewelry."

Apollo nodded, still silently pondering. Linda took a deep breath and carried on, "Their marketing strategies and partnerships with high-profile celebrities also add to their strong brand image and customer loyalty."

"Okay...."Apollo said quietly."Any intel on who really owns this huge empire?"Apollo asked.

Linda nodded and open a document before continuing."The Cruze Empire was originally founded by Magdalene Cruze. However, it is now led by her daughter ,Stella Cruze, who has taken the reins at a young age of 24 and has successfully steered the company to its current position of strength and influence."

"I see "Apollo nodded sightly.

Linda added, "The Cruze Empire is not just limited to luxury jewelry. They have also ventured into other areas such as the production of bags, heels, and clothes. From what I've gathered, they are still in the process of finalizing these expansions, and it's not yet officially announced. But their plans for expansion are significant, as evidenced by their involvement in the hotel industry. In short, the Cruze Empire is not just a wealthy brand, but a highly diversified and ambitious business conglomerate."

Apollo nodded after hearing all the information Linda provided. He leaned back in his chair, absorbing the details. "The Cruze Empire truly is an impressive and diversified conglomerate. From luxury jewelry to fashion accessories and even the hotel industry.... Okay."He said.He knew this wasn't going to be easy for him.

"Anything else I can assist you with?"Linda inquired

Apollo smirked , twirling playfully in his chair."Actually, yes. Draft a letter to the Cruze Empire. We have a collaboration proposal to make."He said and Linda nodded.

He was confident that he was one step ahead of his preeminent enemy, Aaron. A sly smile crept onto his awe-inspiring face as the thought of him winning filled his mind
