Maybe you should spend more time figuring out which married man to cozy up to next. Let\u2019s be real, you\u2019ve never had any morals.\u201d Adriana shot her a sarcastic look.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Natasha shook with rage. She\u2019d never imagined Adriana could still be so cocky at this point.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdriana, I hope you die a horrible death!\u201d Natasha shouted and stormed off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe looks like a total clown,\u201d Adriana muttered under her breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Curtis gave a slight nod.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people aren\u2019t bad,\u201d Adriana said, glancing at the business cards in Curtis\u2019s hand. \u201cThey genuinely want to work with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Curtis nodded again. \u201cSometimes you have to hit rock bottom to see who\u2019s truly there for you \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ones willing to help him now were the ones worth trusting in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sure, business is all about profit, but if someone can keep a shred of decency in the middle of it all, that\u2019s rare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou sure you want to keep going?\u201d Ronan asked quietly once everyone else was gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Curtis handed him the cards. \u201cAinsworth Group is at a turning point. Picking the right partners matters more than ever. The wrong person could ruin everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ronan smirked. That\u2019s Mr. Lincoln for you. He never takes risks he can\u2019t handle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019d both been humiliated all day, but at least they could spot the worthwhile partners in the crowd. \u201cMr. Lincoln, just keep up the struggling\u2013underdog act. It works for you.\u201d Ronan grinned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Curtis\u2019s startup was catching everyone\u2019s attention, which made it easier for Ainsworth Group to rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ronan couldn\u2019t help but think Curtis was a genius.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He played his role perfectly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife\u2019s acting isn\u2019t great, though.

We\u2019re heading out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adriana followed Curtis out and whispered, \u201cSorry, they were too much\u2013putting you down while worshiping the Ainsworth Group\u2019s CEO.
