The lobby of Auralink Systems buzzed with its usual quiet efficiency, but the moment Cassienne Tremont stepped through the revolving doors, something shifted.

Conversations paused. And heads turned. The staff members who had been walking quickly through the hall slowed down almost instinctively.

Cassienne noticed the attention, but she kept her composure. Her steps were steady, her posture straight, her expression calm.

She had chosen a simple but elegant outfit for her return–a cream blouse tucked neatly into a charcoal pencil skirt. Her hair was tied in a smooth ponytail, and her makeup was light, giving her face a natural glow.

If anyone expected to see a broken woman returning after days of emotional chaos, they were disappointed.

This morning, she looked composed, professional and strong. The receptionist behind the front desk stood up slightly.

“Good morning, Ms. Tremont.”

Cassienne offered a small polite smile. “Good morning.”

As she crossed the lobby, several employees greeted her.

“Welcome back, ma’am.”

“It’s good to see you again.”

“We hope Mr. Tremont is recovering well.”

Cassienne acknowledged each greeting with a nod or brief smile.

“Thank you.”

“He’s improving.”

That was all she said. But inside, the words still carried hope.

The elevator doors opened smoothly when she reached them. Two junior engineers quickly stepped aside to let her enter first.

“Morning, Ms. Tremont.”

“Good morning.”

The elevator ride to the executive floor was quiet. When the doors opened again, Cassienne stepped out and walked toward her office.

Her secretary, Elena Brook, was already waiting near the reception desk outside the office.

The moment she saw Cassienne, Elena stood.

“Good morning, Ms. Tremont.”

“Good morning, Elena.”

Elena handed her a tablet immediately.

“I’m glad to see you back.”

Cassienne walked toward her office as Elena began briefing her.

“Several people have requested meetings with you while you were away,” Elena explained.

Cassienne stepped into her office and placed her handbag down.

“How many?”

Elena followed her inside.

“Fourteen requests in total.”

Cassienne raised a brow slightly.

“That many?”

Elena nodded.

“Most of them are partnership proposals following the expo.”

Cassienne sat down behind her desk and began scrolling through the list.

“Any urgent ones?”

“A few.”

Cassienne skimmed through the proposals quickly.

Most were predictable–tech collaborations, investment discussions, and esports sponsorships.

After a few minutes, she stopped scrolling.

“These three.”

She turned the tablet slightly toward Elena. “I’m interested in these.”

Elena glanced at the names.

“Understood.”

“Work with Ivy and schedule meetings with them,” Cassienne continued. “Preferably next week.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Just then there was a knock on the door.

Cassienne looked up.

“Come in.”

The door opened and Ivy Hart, her executive assistant, stepped inside.

“Good morning, Ms. Tremont.”

“Morning, Ivy.”

Ivy held a small notebook in her hand.

“Mr. Sandler has arrived.”

Cassienne nodded.

“Send him in.”

A moment later, Jeff Sandler walked into the office.

Jeff carried himself with the calm confidence of a seasoned businessman. His dark suit was perfectly tailored, and his expression carried a polite professionalism.

“Cassienne.” He extended his hand. “It’s good to see you.”

Cassienne stood and shook his hand. “Thank you for coming, Mr. Sandler.”

Jeff studied her briefly. “I’m glad to see you back at work.”

She gestured toward the chairs. “Please sit.”

They both took their seats. Jeff leaned back slightly. “I’ll get straight to the point.”

Cassienne nodded. “That’s usually the best approach.”

Jeff smiled faintly. “The esports industry is exploding right now.”

“That’s not news.”

“No,” Jeff agreed. “But what is new is the opportunity I’m about to present to you.”

Cassienne folded her hands calmly on the desk. “I’m listening.”

Jeff placed a thin folder on the desk and slid it toward her. “I want you to partner with my organization.”

Cassienne opened the folder.

Inside were documents outlining a large–scale esports tournament series.

Jeff continued.

“This will be a global competition, three major events per year across different cities.”

Cassienne scanned the details carefully.

“And my role?”

Jeff leaned forward slightly.

“You’ll headline the events.”

Cassienne lifted her eyes.

“As NULLWRAITH.”

Jeff nodded.

“Exactly.”

He continued explaining.

“You won’t be tied down to our company permanently. This is strictly a partnership agreement.”

Cassienne kept reading.

“You participate in the major matches. Appear at the events. Engage the fans.”

Jeff’s tone remained confident.

“In return, you receive a percentage of the ticket revenue and streaming rights.”

Cassienne’s brows lifted slightly.

It was a generous offer. Very generous.

“And the schedule?”

“Flexible,” Jeff replied quickly. “You maintain full control of your work at Auralink.”

Cassienne leaned back slightly in her chair.

Jeff watched her reaction carefully.

“I know you don’t like being restricted,” he said. “That’s why I structured it this way.”

Cassienne closed the folder slowly.

“You’ve done your research.”

Jeff smiled. “Of course, I did.”

Cassienne tapped the folder lightly against the desk. “It’s a strong proposal.“

Jeff relaxed slightly.

“But I don’t make decisions that quickly,” Cassienne added calmly.

Jeff nodded. “I expected that.”

She stood up. “I’ll review everything carefully.”

Jeff also stood.

“And I’ll give you my answer soon.”

“That’s all I ask.”
