The messy hall was full of construction materials. Some booths were already finished. Others had workers rushing to wrap things up.

Iris’s company was small, with limited funds. They could only rent a tiny booth in the corner, with super simple decor.

The workers finished putting up the main frame, got their pay, and left. They had to do the rest of the finishing work themselves.

Carl was putting up posters. Zoe and Iris were cleaning up the trash on the floor.

“The expo starts tomorrow. I’m kinda nervous.” Zoe stood up straight, stretching her sore waist.

“I’m more nervous than you.” Iris sighed, standing up and looking at the big, fancy booths up front-high- end decor, prime spots, all grand and impressive. She felt a twinge of envy.

“Hope we can land a few big orders.” Zoe looked forward to it, tossing her cloth onto a chair. “I’m exhausted.”

Carl finished putting up the posters, put his hands on his hips, and walked over to stand next to Iris. He glanced around. “Almost done. Our booth’s small and out of the way, but our drugs are top-notch. Good stuff always finds its audience.”

Iris smiled and nodded.

Carl had sharp eyes. He turned his head and glanced forward. “Hey, isn’t that your husband?”

Iris followed his finger.

Sure enough, there was Julian, at a booth up front.

A bunch of people were around him. Lily was there too.

Zoe stood up curiously, hurrying over to Iris. She was in such a hurry that she accidentally bumped Iris right into Carl’s arms.

Iris almost fell. Carl held her by the shoulders to steady her.

“Sorry.” Iris apologized.

“No problem.” He stepped aside so Zoe and Iris could see better.

Zoe looked shocked. “That’s really Julian? Everhart Group doesn’t develop their own medical devices. Why are they at the pharmaceutical expo?”

“It’s Veritas Pharmaceuticals, not Everhart Group.” Iris wasn’t too surprised.

Zoe gasped. “Whoa! Veritas Pharmaceuticals must be pretty big, huh? Look at that booth–it’s one of the fanciest here!”

Iris pressed her lips together, feeling a surge of envy.

She hoped she could become that successful one day, catch up to him, and prove herself worthy of him.
