"Gentleman, may I know your name?"

"It\'s Evan...CEO of NextGen Innovations..."

"Evan..Just Evan...What about the title?"The man asked, tilting his head.

Evan\'s expression faltered a bit for a moment.

He didn\'t have any title after breaking out from his parents.

"I am an orphan."

"OH! Sorry....I didn\'t know that...How unfortunate."

The man made an exasperated expression with the end of his lips curling when a sly grin.

"NextGen Innovations...Codezipper...Did I get it right?"

"Yeah!"

"Then nice to meet you, Evan...I am Zi Shou, the CEO of Tick Tack..."

"Hey Evan, congrats on the award," Angelo said casually, though his tone hinted at something more probing. "Tell me, did you pull some strings at the last moment to clinch this? I mean I know the app is exceptional but it also depends on the number of downloads still manages to carter a million downloads."

Evan side-eyed Aria who gave an expression as if saying I told you?

Evan chuckled, his expression a blend of amusement and confidence, "Why do I need to?"

"To make a splash, possibly?"

"Hahaha!"Evan gave a light-hearted laugh and raising his hand patted him, "First thing. if you can crack my app or ever see a pirated app, I am willing to offer 1 million."

"Secondly even though my app isn\'t great, it at the very least, doesn\'t create a place for useless people to gather and sully the eyes for a minute."

"Damn!Thats brute."

"That was some epic shit."

The moment he said this a heavy silence lingered and Angelo\'s expression cracked.

"Even if it\'s a good app, don\'t be smug after all you know is piracy us prevalent these days."

Aria playfully nudged Evan, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

Zi Hsoh, caught off guard by Evan\'s witty comeback, chuckled and shook his head in mock defeat. "Fair point, Evan. Enjoy your moment," he said, conceding gracefully as he patted Evan on the shoulder.

After Zi Shou left, Evan could hear a few murmurs especially

Aria added, "Julia\'s been crucial at Pears and knows a lot about app development."

Julia nodded. "I\'m excited to discuss some opportunities with you."

Julia\'s expression turned slightly more serious as she continued, "Actually, Steven Hook from Pears would like to meet with you both. He\'s interested in discussing some business matters."

Evan\'s face registered surprise. "Steven Hook? From Pears?"

"Yes," Julia confirmed, nodding. "I know it\'s a bit unexpected. He mentioned he\'s been following CodeZipper\'s success and wants to talk."

Aria\'s smile faltered slightly, replaced by a thoughtful look. "That\'s quite an honor, but I wasn\'t aware of any potential talks with Pears."

Evan\'s brows furrowed in concern. "Do you know what this is about?"

Julia shook her head. "He didn\'t give specifics, but it sounded important. He asked me to make sure you both are available."

Evan glanced at Aria, his expression a mix of curiosity and apprehension. "Alright!I have no problem."

Julia gave them a reassuring smile. "I\'ll let him know you\'re ready to meet. He had booked the meeting place in above floors."
