100 Days to Save Villain CEO
Day 2
[Morning - Damian's Penthouse]
Aria wakes up, disoriented and groggy, in the luxurious bed of Damian’s penthouse.
She checks her phone for any messages from the unknown number.
Aria Marcelli
*Rubbing her eyes*
Alright, what’s on the agenda today?
Unknown Number
💬New day, new challenges. The board meeting yesterday was just the beginning.
Unknown Number
💬Keep an eye on Lucas and your own decisions.
Aria Marcelli
*Sighs* Great. More cryptic warnings. I need a plan.
She quickly gets dressed in one of Aria’s designer outfits, determined to tackle the day ahead.
She grabs her tablet and heads to the kitchen for a quick breakfast.
Damian is already there, drinking his coffee and reading the morning news.
Damian Blackwell
*Without looking up* Aria. Don’t you have a schedule to follow?
Aria Marcelli
*Nervously* Yes, Mr. Blackwell. I’ll get right on it.
Aria hurries to her desk, where a stack of files awaits her. She starts organizing them and preparing for the day’s meetings.
[Office - Morning Meeting]
Lena arrives at the office early, hoping to prepare for the upcoming board meeting.
She carefully arranges the documents and notes she prepared the previous day.
Aria Marcelli
*Muttering to herself* Let’s make sure everything is in order. I need to anticipate any objections Lucas might throw at us.
Lucas Blackwell strolls into the office, looking casual but exuding an air of arrogance.
Lucas Blackwell
*Smirking* Good morning, Elena. Ready for another thrilling day of corporate drama?
Aria Marcelli
*Internally* Why did this wretch come in the morning? 😑
Aria Marcelli
*Forcing a smile* Morning, Lucas. I’ve been preparing for the meeting. I hope we can make some progress.
Lucas Blackwell
*Raising an eyebrow* Oh, I’m sure you’ve prepared something. We’ll see how it holds up.
Aria watches as Lucas saunters off. She feels a pang of worry but shakes it off, focusing on her work.
[Afternoon - Board Meeting]
The board meeting begins. Damian walks in, looking confident but visibly tense.
Lena stands by his side, holding a folder of documents. Lucas takes his seat across from them, a smug expression on his face.
Damian Blackwell
*Addressing the board* Let’s get started. I hope the revised report meets everyone’s expectations.
Lucas stands, flipping through the documents with a practiced ease.
Lucas Blackwell
*Addressing the board* While Damian’s report is thorough, there are still several areas where we’re falling short.
Lucas Blackwell
For instance, our market share projections are overly optimistic.
Aria Marcelli
*Stepping forward* Actually, Lucas, if you refer to the updated figures on page 14, you’ll see that our projections have been adjusted to account for recent market trends.
Lucas’s face darkens slightly as he flips to the page Lena mentioned. He scans the figures and nods, though not without a hint of annoyance.
Lucas Blackwell
*Grudgingly* I see. Well, let’s move on to the next point.
The meeting proceeds with a less contentious tone.
Damian and Lena exchange glances, relieved that the immediate challenge has been managed.
[Late Afternoon - Office]
Aria is at her desk, reviewing the day’s meeting notes.
Her phone buzzes with another message from the unknown number.
Unknown Number
💬Good job handling Lucas. But remember, not all battles are fought in boardrooms. There are other threats.
Aria Marcelli
*Groans* What now? What other threats are there?
The door to her office opens, and Damian walks in, looking contemplative.
Damian Blackwell
*Clearing his throat* Aria. We need to talk about your performance.
Damian Blackwell
You’ve done well today, but don’t let your guard down.
Aria Marcelli
*Nervously* Of course, Mr. Blackwell. I’ll do my best to stay on top of things.
Damian Blackwell
*Nodding* Good. The board is still skeptical. I need to be sure that every detail is handled perfectly. One misstep and...
Aria Marcelli
*Interrupting* I understand. I’ll make sure nothing goes wrong.
Damian nods and exits the room, leaving Lena alone with her thoughts.
Aria collapses onto her bed, feeling the weight of the day. Her phone buzzes one more time.
Unknown Number
💬Remember, Elena. You’re not just saving Damian. You’re changing the course of everything. Stay vigilant.
Aria Marcelli
*Sighs* Changing everything, huh? I hope I can handle it.
Lena looks out the window at the city lights, contemplating the monumental task ahead.
The days are ticking by, and every decision could make or break Damian’s future.
Aria Marcelli
*Determined* Alright, Damian. I’m in this for the long haul. No more mistakes.
