Game On

As Ava walked out of the conference room, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She had outsmarted Reginald, and she had come out on top.

Lian Zheng was waiting for her in the lobby, a look of concern on his face. "How did it go?" he asked.

Ava smiled, a cold, calculating smile. "It went well," she said. "I got what I wanted."

Lian Zheng nodded, a look of admiration on his face. "You're a true mastermind, Ava," he said. "I'm glad I'm on your side."

Ava smiled, her heart fluttering. She was glad to have Lian Zheng by her side as well. Together, they would conquer the business world.

But as they walked out of the building, Ava couldn't shake off the feeling that Reginald was not going to give up easily. He was a man who was used to getting what he wanted, and he was not going to let Ava get the better of him without a fight.

Ava's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with possibilities. She knew that she had to be careful, she had to stay one step ahead of Reginald if she was going to come out on top.

As they walked back to the office, Ava's phone rang. She answered it, her voice cold and detached. "Hello?"

"Ava, it's Reginald," the voice on the other end of the line said. "I just wanted to congratulate you on getting the better of me. You're a true opponent, and I respect that."

Ava's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with possibilities. What did Reginald want? What was his game?

"Thank you, Reginald," she said, her voice cold and detached. "But don't think that this is over. I'm just getting started."

Reginald laughed, a cold, menacing sound. "I'm counting on it, Ava," he said. "I'm counting on it."

As Ava hung up the phone, she knew that the game was on. She was going to have to stay one step ahead of Reginald if she was going to come out on top.

But she was ready for the challenge. She was ready to do whatever it took to win.

And as she walked back into the office, her eyes scanning the room for possible enemies, she knew that she was going to come out on top. She was going to crush Reginald, and she was going to conquer the business world.

The battle between Ava and Reginald had only just begun, and Ava was ready to fight to the death.
