• The meeting commenced with a sense of anticipation and importance. The conference room was filled with key stakeholders from both Hamilton Corp. and Smith & Co. At the helm of Smith & Co. was Evelyn Smith, a sharp and astute CEO, whose father, Arthur Smith, had been a close friend of Edward's father. The familiarity between the two families was evident as Edward and Evelyn exchanged warm smiles, reminiscing about their school days.

• "Good morning, everyone," Lily began, her voice clear and professional. "Today, we'll be discussing the details of our proposed partnership and the specifics of the project. I'll walk you through the key points and highlights."
