Flashback from a month ago
5-Star Resort, Ocean View – Sunset Glow in Background
Briar(assistant)
(in headset, directing staff)
All placements checked. Lights set. Product platform in place.
A graceful figure walks in – every eye naturally turns. Adrian Blake, the Omega CEO of Blake Luxe, moves with quiet poise and sharp elegance.
Briar(assistant)
(noticing Adrian, rushes over nervously)Sir! I was just going over the presentation layout. I guarantee everything will go smoothly.
Adrian Blake
(calm but firm)Double-check every spotlight and backdrop. I don’t want last-minute chaos.
This event has to be flawless.
???
(voice from behind)
The definition of flawless just walked in.
Adrian turns, surprised but not startled. A soft, knowing smile appears.
Adrian Blake
Uncle Darian. (nods warmly)
Darian
(with a half-smile, admiring)
Still carrying that perfect CEO aura, I see.
Adrian Blake
(politely)
Thank you. You always flatter too much.
Darian
(lowers voice, teasing)
Flattery’s only wasted on those who can’t carry it well.
Someone wants to meet you.
Adrian Blake
(raises brow)Someone?
A well-dressed woman steps forward, sharp heels clicking softly.
Darian
Nancy, meet the man himself.
Nancy
(beaming) Mr. Adrian Blake. I’ve heard so much, but seeing you here—this project’s truly blessed.
Adrian Blake
(coolly) You chose the perfect venue. I’m only here to enhance it.
Nancy
(stepping closer)You’ve elevated it simply by arriving.
And added charm. (offers hand with a subtle flirt)
Adrian Blake
(brief handshake, pulling away politely) Excuse me—still a few details to scan.
Nancy
(playfully persistent)I won’t keep you, promise. Just remember… this is our night.
Your design, my event. We are the highlight.
Darian watches with a tight jaw, unreadable expression. His eyes stay on Nancy longer than needed.
Later – Event Begins | Lights shimmer on the glass stage | Product Reveal: “The *VIRELLE* Collection – A Luxury Smartwatch line from Blake Luxe”
*Reporter 1:**
Mr. Blake, what inspired *VIRELLE*?
Adrian Blake
Precision. Time is the one thing that never stops… why not make it beautiful?
**Reporter 2:**
Ms. Nancy, how did this collaboration come about?
Nancy
Pure chemistry. (smiles, glancing at Adrian)
The right people meet at the right time.
Flashes go off. The crowd watches. Darian stays back, his gaze never leaving Nancy.
Darian
(soft, to himself)
You’re already circling too close, Nancy···
But see not everything can be perfect can it be?
