Big AAA game projects cost around a billion dollars. Kaleb put in 100 million dollars, Emmett 50 million dollars, and Emmett\u2019s cousin another hundred million dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With only that money, they still had to keep the company running and cover development costs. Life had always been tight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now they had to spend 15 million dollars at once and wait a whole month. If that guy were standing here, Kaleb would flick his cigarette at his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett snorted. \u201cThat 15 million dollars was already after I bargained. He asked for 20 million dollars at first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb clenched his teeth, furious. He took another hard drag, and for the first time, a wave of hopelessness washed over him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since the day he started his company, he had never backed down. No matter how tough the challenge, he always pushed forward with everything he had.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whether it was youthful pride or the need to prove himself, he simply refused to lose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now the technical problem was right in front of him. No money. No people. And Ayla, who only knew how to stir up trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb really felt like he had the worst luck in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett tried to comfort him. \u201cThere\u2019s no choice. Top engineers are rare. They charge high, but they can actually fix things.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he remembered what Ayla said about investing more money. He tested the waters. \u201cWhy don\u2019t we just spend the 15 million dollars now, and think about funding again later?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb snapped. \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we keep dragging it out like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe try to find someone cheaper.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett groaned. \u201cI would love to. Where do you expect me to find one?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb had no answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two young founders looked at each other and both felt like losers hiding in a corner, smoking to calm their nerves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pathetic and unlucky.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least Kaleb got to beat Zane yesterday. Otherwise he would feel even worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett finally broke. \u201cKaleb, how about you tell Ayla to go apologize to Troy and smooth things over\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before he could finish, Kaleb kicked the chair Emmett was sitting on. Emmett slid back with the chair, and Kaleb\u2019s cold, violent glare froze him in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you ever say something like that again, we\u2019re done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett\u2019s throat locked up. He couldn\u2019t speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you hear me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGot it. I won\u2019t say it again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had only dared to suggest it because he knew Ayla was rich. Staying at Storm Group was meaningless for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Kaleb still upset, Emmett quickly added, \u201cI think of Ayla as my sister too. I hate Troy as much as you do. Don\u2019t overthink. I\u2019m on your side. You and Ayla both.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb sneered. \u201cSome sister. Her own brother stabs her in the back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKaleb, you think you\u2019re some perfect brother? You treat her terribly\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least I don\u2019t stab her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI already told you that wasn\u2019t betrayal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care. I heard it, so that\u2019s what it is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re impossible!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett stormed off to find Ayla, only to discover the entire tech department drinking latte and eating late-night snacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Company treats. Courtesy of Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho bought all this?\u201d Emmett asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The team lead immediately answered. \u201cMr. Keaton\u2019s sister!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thought she\u2019d be just as hard to deal with as Mr. Keaton. Turns out she\u2019s amazing. Calm. Generous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone joked, \u201cWith a brother like Mr. Keaton, if she didn\u2019t have a good temper, she\u2019d die young.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett nodded. \u201cTrue.\u201d He asked, \u201cHow\u2019s it going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo idea. She said she only needed one person helping her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t get it. Forget building a repair model. Even with a ready-made one, pulling and parsing the company\u2019s data should take forever!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett sighed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His tiny spark of hope vanished completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He slapped the team lead on the arm. \u201cThen go think of a solution!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Half an hour later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla came out with her laptop. The tech team stared at her with bright, excited eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Latte and snacks really worked wonders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe database is restarting,\u201d Ayla said. \u201cNothing else needs doing. You can all go home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had a firewall to build, so she left the confused crowd behind and went to find Kaleb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His office was full of smoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla hated the smell. She frowned. \u201cStop smoking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb shot her a look and deliberately lit another cigarette. \u201cDone showing off?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla knew he was impossible and didn\u2019t get angry. \u201cShowing off? I\u2019m helping you.\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHelping me? Who asked you? If you\u2019re done being \u2018busy,\u2019 then leave. Stop getting on my nerves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
