Chapter 71

They headed to the bedroom. They didn’t want to miss this night. Aryan undressed Reyna until everything was off. Reyna’s body was completely naked.

Aryan kissed her lips and squeezed her breasts gently.

“You should take off your clothes too!” Reyna asked to be fair.

Reyna was able to play with Aryan’s penis gently. They continued with very erotic sex. Aryan tried several positions that they had never used before. Reyna was on top and then carried, and many other scenes.

The next morning, the atmosphere at home felt different. Steven, who was usually cheerful, looked confused seeing his father getting ready. Reyna tried to explain that Dad was going to work, but the little boy just nodded with tears in his eyes. Aryan felt his heart breaking seeing his young son not fully understand why they had to separate.

As Aryan picked up his suitcase and got ready to leave, Reyna approached and hugged him tightly. “I’ll miss you,” he whispered, his voice shaking. Aryan could feel Reyna’s tears on his shoulder, and it made it even harder for him to leave. He rubbed Reyna’s back, trying to soothe his own feelings as well as his wife’s.

“It’s only two weeks, honey. We’ll see each other again, and I’ll bring you something special,” Aryan tried to smile, though his heart felt heavy. He looked down at Steven who was now starting to cry, and his heart ached even more.

“Don’t go, Daddy,” Steven’s small voice broke the silence, and Aryan felt like the world was crumbling before him. He knelt down and hugged his son, trying to comfort Steven who didn’t understand why his father had to leave.

“I’ll be back, Steven. Daddy promises,” Aryan tried to assure him, though deep down he knew how difficult those two weeks had been. He kissed Steven’s forehead and looked into Reyna’s eyes, which were full of hope and sadness.

Finally, Aryan walked out of the house, leaving his two loved ones with a heavy heart. He knew that this trip was important, but the pain of separation was always painful. On the way to the airport, he tried to focus on the work that awaited him, but the image of Reyna and Steven's faces continued to haunt him.

After the plane took off, Aryan stared out the window, seeing white clouds drifting below him. He promised himself to make this trip as fast as possible, so he could return to the embrace of his family. In his heart, he prayed that these two weeks would pass quickly, and they could be together again like before.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the magnificent city of Paris, Aryan and Leon walked with enthusiasm. They were on their way to complete an important project that they had been planning for months. The target to be achieved was not easy, but both knew that success was in sight if they could complete all the meetings that had been scheduled.

Aryan, with a neat and confident appearance, led their steps. He had a clear vision of the future of their company and did not want to waste this opportunity. Leon, on the other hand, was Aryan's loyal assistant, a twenty-five-year-old young man who was always ready to help and support. Although he was quieter, his intelligence in negotiating could not be underestimated.

They started the day with a first meeting at a small cafe in the Marais district. The aroma of strong coffee and freshly baked croissants greeted them as they entered the cafe. In the corner, a woman in her forties with blonde hair and an elegant style of dress was waiting for them. She was Sophie, an investor they had been eyeing for a long time.

"Good morning, Sophie," Aryan greeted with a smile. "Thank you for taking the time to meet with us."

"Good morning, Aryan. Welcome to Paris, Leon," Sophie replied warmly. "I can't wait to hear more about your project."

After a few minutes of small talk, Aryan began to present their ideas. He explained how the project would benefit not only their company but also the investors. Leon added some key points, showing data and market analysis that supported their claims.

Sophie seemed interested, but she also had some critical questions. Aryan and Leon answered each question confidently, trying to convince Sophie that they were the right team for this project. After almost an hour of discussion, Sophie finally nodded in agreement.

"I like your idea. Let's continue this discussion and see how we can work together," she said with a satisfied smile.

With a successful first meeting, Aryan and Leon felt more confident. They continued their journey to the next meeting with a business partner from Germany. The meeting was scheduled at a fancy restaurant on the banks of the Seine River. The ambiance in the restaurant was very elegant, with a stunning view of the towering Eiffel Tower.

Their partner, Hans, was a man in his fifties with a serious appearance. He was known as a great negotiator, and Aryan knew that they would have to give their best to convince him.

After greeting Hans, they immediately got into a discussion. Aryan explained how this collaboration would benefit both parties. Leon, who had done extensive research on Hans and the company he represented, gave strong arguments about the market potential they could reach together.

However, Hans seemed skeptical. He asked some difficult questions that made Aryan and Leon think hard. They exchanged glances, trying to find the right answer. After a while, Aryan finally gave a satisfactory answer, and Hans began to look more open.

“Okay, I’ll consider your proposal,” Hans said after a few minutes of silence. “I want to see more data before making a final decision.”

With the second meeting going well, Aryan and Leon felt optimistic. However, they knew their time was limited. They still had several more important meetings to attend before they returned home.

The day continued with increasingly intense meetings. They met with a famous designer to discuss a fashion collaboration, then moved on to a meeting with a technologist who could help them develop a new product. Each meeting brought new challenges and opportunities, but Aryan and Leon remained focused on their goal.

As night fell, they sat on their hotel balcony, taking in the beautiful view of the glittering city of Paris. Aryan let out a sigh of relief. “We did our best today, Leon. We have to keep fighting and never give up.”

Leon nodded in agreement. “I believe we can achieve our goals. We just need to stay disciplined and focused.”

That night, in a simple but energetic meeting room, Aryan and his team gathered to plan their strategy for the upcoming important meetings. Outside the window, heavy rain poured down on the city, creating a dramatic and tense atmosphere. They knew that every step they took would determine the future of their company, and that was no small responsibility.
