Chapter 0284 DENNIS I leaned back against my seat and gazed out the window at the airport's bustling terminal as I waited for my meeting to adjourn.
"Alright team, let's review our sales projections for the next quarter. Mr Ben, can you summarize the key points?" A bald man, seated at the far end of the table cleared his throat to begin, "We're expecting a 12% increase in sales, driven mainly by our new product launch and expanded marketing efforts." "That's a conservative estimate, don't you think?" The chairperson interjected, "I believe we can push for 15% growth." A lady by my side added her input. "I agree with you. What's holding us back from reaching that higher projection? "Well, we need to consider market trends, competition, and customer adoption rates. But I think we can revisit our pricing strategy and explore new channels to reach our target audience." The bald man answered, his eyes cast downwards to his tablet.
The lady next tospoke again even as I struggled to keep up with the discussions flying over my head at a wheezing rapidity. "I'd like to suggest leveraging user-generated content and social proof to build trust and credibility with potential customers." "That's a great idea, Emily. Can you elaborate on your thoughts for reaching that 15% growth?" "Sure. I think we should focus on upselling and cross-selling opportunities, as well as expanding our influencer partnerships.
"And what about our marketing budget? Should we allocate more resources to digital advertising or events?", inquired the bald man.

My mind, however, was far detached from the discussion of marketing strategies and sales projections. Unbidden, it wandered back to the fateful night I met Anastasia. The deep connection that precedented that meeting as a result of the sparks ignited within me.
It was one I couldn't shake off easily.
"Sweet Ana," I whispered to myself, wandering far back to the first tI had laid my eyes on her in college.
She e was a pretty thing, her bright smile and infectious laughter leaving a lasting impression onlike the permanent burn of an insignia branding an object. And it was not just me. Every other person who - crossed paths with her felt the same.
But that was as far as it went. There were no direct interactions until the night when she collapsed at the bar. From then on, our lives seemed to have been intertwined.

I didn't know how to process this unexpected turn or what to feel. Disappointment? Jealousy? Disgust for her boyfriend? How about all three? Yet, as I looked into her eyes, there laid an opportunity to demonstrate my care and support, as well as win her over.
Little did I know that my determination at being recognized by Ana would seton a path of self-discovery and growth.
My thoughts once more took flight, like the planes departing the airport, drifting to my troubled past. It consisted of a violent family life and personal mistakes that once defined me, mistakes that I feared would taint Ana's perception of me.

It was no news on the campus of my bullying to prove a point or to assert dominance on whoever thought to crosson purpose. If by exerting force I got people to be compliant, then so be it.
It was the exerted dominance that kept us in check back at home. My m dad used it on the family, bending ve even the most strong-willed to his caprices. Anyone that dared set a toe out of line was severely dealt with. None was spared "Fool." I mumbled, almost kicking myself at the memories of my past misbehaviors springing up again.
What if she sawas nothing more than a product of my toxic environment and declared wanting nothing to do with me? I pressed my fingers into my temple to quell the pressure that had slowly began to build there, the journey of my life laid bare beforelike a blueprint.
