"With that, Ladies and gentlemen, we at Steele Investments would like to officially launch our first product, Trendteller!"
The screen illuminated with a white and golden display of graphs, numbers and dollar signs, then the logo of the software appeared, before the name followed: 'Trendteller. Never invest blind.'
Then the channel went to an ad break that was muted by the staff.
Silence.
Shock.
Back at Horizon, Tamara's face drained to ash, her manicured nails had dug so deep into the podium and she didn't even know when it happened.
'What the hell just happened? What has happened now?'
She tried not to believe it, not to understand what was going on even though she completely did.
Ryan Anders sighed nonchalantly, hands in pockets. He turned to Tamara as the strands of his long hair shifted to the side. His face was disengaged. "It seems Darren Steele has played us."
He returned his gaze to the screen. "Again."
