94 Clashing of Egos and Opportunities
As the evening unfolded at the gala, Emma’s keen observation skills noted the interaction between
Lennox and Alex. It was apparent that there was a history between them, a partnership perhaps in the
making. Lennox’s demeanor towards Emma was dismissive, yet she remained unfazed, confident in
her own acumen.
“You know, it’s interesting how some people can’t see beyond their own ego,” Emma mused to Jada,
her gaze following Lennox as he walked away. “They think the world revolves around them, but it’s their
loss in the end.”
Jada nodded in agreement. “He’s definitely missing out on a great opportunity by underestimating you.
But, hey, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. We’ll find someone who appreciates what we bring to
the table.”
Emma’s approach was always to find potential where others saw obstacles. She knew that every
encounter, even an unpleasant one, was an opportunity to learn and grow.
Meanwhile, Alex observed Lennox‘ frustrated retreat and decided to approach him. “Seems like your
conversation with Emma didn’t go as planned,” Alex remarked, noting Lennox’s annoyance.
Lennox scoffed, “She’s just like everyone else, clinging to her family name. But she had the audacity. to
accuse me of the same. As if I haven’t worked hard to separate myself from the Hartley legacy.”
Alex’s response was measured, “Sometimes, our greatest strengths can also be our weaknesses.
Emma might rely on her family, but she’s proven her worth independently. Maybe it’s time to reconsider
your approach.”
Lennox pondered Alex’s words. He had always prided himself on his independence, but maybe he had
been too quick to dismiss others who didn’t follow the same path.
“Perhaps you’re right,” Lennox admitted reluctantly. “I may have let my desire to prove myself cloud my
judgment.”
Alex saw an opportunity and decided to grab on the spur of the moment. “I think a collaboration
between you and the Smirnoff Group could be beneficial for both parties. You bring the tech, they bring
the network and experience. It’s a win–win situation.”
Lennox considered this. A partnership with the Smirnoff Group was initially part of his plan, but his
pride had gotten in the way. “Do you think they would still be open to it after today?”
“If I know Emma, she won’t let personal feelings interfere with a good business opportunity. I can talk to
her, see if she’s willing to discuss potential collaboration. What do you say?”
Lennox hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Alright, I’m open to it. Let’s see what can be
arranged.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Alex knew the Smirnoff Group’s potential and Emma’s capabilities. Bringing them together with
Lennox’s tech could create something groundbreaking. He decided to reach out to Emma, hoping to

bridge the gap and facilitate a partnership that could change the industry’s landscape.
Back at the gala, Emma and Jada continued to network, seeking out other potential partnerships. They
both knew that in the world of business, opportunities were everywhere – it was just a matter of finding
the right fit..
As the night drew to a close, Emma couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement for what the future
might hold. With every challenge and confrontation, she was learning, growing, and getting closer to
her goals. The future was bright, and she was ready to seize it.
