Davian's Point Of View
The weight of Nikolai D'Angelo's gaze fell on Edward first.
It was subtle, almost lazy, yet there was something predatory in the way he watched him. A silent challenge... Convince me. Impress me. Prove you're worth my time.
Edward, ever the polished businessman, straightened slightly in his chair. His composure was impeccable, but I knew better than to be fooled by the calmness on his face. He wasn't here to negotiate, he was here to win.
He clasped his hands together on the desk, his movements deliberate, controlled. "Mr. D'Angelo," he began, his voice smooth, practiced. Rehearsed. "Blair Enterprises has been at the forefront of real estate development for over two decades. Our projects have not only reshaped cityscapes but have also consistently yielded high returns for investors."
