Chapter 2 WHO IS THE BOSS

Lena sat in her office, watching the news conference that Victoria had called to announce her latest allegations against Lena's company. Victoria was standing at the podium, her voice ringing out across the room as she accused Lena of unfair business practices.

But Lena wasn't worried. She had anticipated Victoria's move, she just casually continued sipping her her tea with a smirk on her face.

" such a fool, if only she knew, tsk" Lena commented while smiling

As Victoria finished her statement and opened the floor to questions, Lena's team sprang into action. They had set up a mock press conference in Lena's office, with a journalist playing the role of the questioner.

The journalist asked tough questions, but Lena was prepared. She answered each question confidently and clearly, using props and visual aids to illustrate her points.

When the journalist asked about the allegations of unfair business practices, Lena pulled out a chart showing the company's compliance with industry regulations. "As you can see," she said, "our company has always been in compliance with industry regulations. We're proud of our track record, and we're confident that we'll be able to prove our innocence in court."

The journalist asked another question, and Lena pulled out a document that showed the company's financial records. "Our financial records are transparent and publicly available," she said. "We're happy to share them with anyone who wants to see them."

As the mock press conference continued, it became clear that Lena was in control. She was confident, prepared, and articulate. Victoria's allegations were being torn apart by Lena's team, and it was clear that Lena's company would emerge victorious.

Meanwhile, Victoria's team was watching the mock press conference, and they were getting increasingly nervous. They had underestimated Lena, and now they were paying the price.

"We need to regroup and come up with a new plan," one of Victoria's team members said, looking at the footage of Lena's mock press conference. "Lena is not going to go down without a fight."

Victoria nodded, her face set in a determined expression. "We'll come up with a new plan," she said. "And we'll make sure that Lena pays for what she's done."

Victoria held a press conference, announcing that she had evidence that Lena's company had engaged in tax evasion. She claimed that Lina had hidden millions of dollars in income and had paid no taxes on i

Victoria presented a document that she claimed was a leaked internal memo from Lina's company, showing a supposed plan to hide income and evade taxes.

Lena was quick to respond to the allegations, holding her own press conference to address the claims. She presented evidence that the document Victoria had presented was actually a fake, created using Photoshop and other editing software

Lina presented the original document from her company's files, which showed a completely different plan for tax compliance. She also presented testimony from her company's accountant, who explained the actual tax planning strategies that the company used.

Reporter: "Lena, how do you respond to Victoria's allegations of tax evasion?"

Lena: "Victoria's allegations are completely false and baseless. We've always been compliant with tax laws and regulations. The document she's presenting is a fake, and we've presented the real document that shows our commitment to tax compliance."

Reporter: "But Victoria claims that she has evidence that you've hidden millions of dollars in income. How do you respond to that?"

Lena: "That's not true. We've always been transparent about our financial dealings. Our accountant can testify that we've followed all applicable tax laws and regulations. We're happy to provide our financial records to any reputable auditor or investigator."

Victoria: "I don't know how Lina can explain the document that I have. It's clear that she's trying to deceive the public."

Lena: "The document that Victoria has is a fake. Anyone can see that it's been edited and manipulated. We're confident that an investigation will show that our company has done nothing wrong."

The investigation that followed found that Victoria had indeed forged the document, and her allegations were completely false. Lina's company was cleared of any wrongdoing, and Victoria's reputation was further damaged.

As the battle between Lena and Victoria continued, it became clear that Lena was the master of the game. She was using her intelligence, strategic thinking, and props to outmaneuver Victoria at every turn.

Victoria was bewildered at how effortlessly Lena seems to counterattack every of her move, she felt like she was being watched, and that feeling created a choking sensation in her throat. Looking at how Lena spoke with confidence, caused her breath to hitch and her vision blur, her mind was a mess at that moment. While she was still experiencing this sensations, one of her team member tapped her shoulders which startled her to high degree so she latch out....

" Are you crazy? how dare you me touch me like that? know your place! " the poor team member was so shocked by her outrage that he regretted coming to ask her if she was okay after seeing her complexion go pale few minutes ago....

"I am sorry miss Victoria, I just wanted to check up on you" ... but before he could complete his statement, he was caught off...... "get out"! she ordered, and he scrambled off swearing never to concern himself with people's problem again.

As Lena continued to presents the evidence, Victoria became increasingly agitated and defensive. She began to stutter and sweat, and eventually collapses from shock, requiring immediate medical attention.

The hospital later confirms that Victoria was rushed to the emergency room due to a severe stress reaction, brought on by the revelation of her own deceit.

Lena's reputation was vindicated, while Victoria's credibility lies in tatters. The media reports on the story, highlighting Lena's professionalism and Victoria's desperation.

In the end, Lena's company emerged victorious, with Victoria's reputation in tatters. Lena had outsmarted her at every turn, using her props and visual aids to illustrate her points and defend her company.
