Mark steps out of the office building and into the busy streets of London, his142Please respect copyright.PENANATCFMgK1uT7
mind buzzing with thoughts of his latest investment opportunity. He feels a sense142Please respect copyright.PENANAKevIeSXYPD
of excitement and anticipation, know- ing that he’s about to meet with some of142Please respect copyright.PENANA84PLqSMHZB
the city’s most powerful and influential people. He heads to one of his favorite142Please respect copyright.PENANAYKQDQtC8nE
lunch spots, a trendy restaurant near the Bank of England, where he’s made142Please respect copyright.PENANAHcwtzOfzI6
reservations for himself and his guests. As he waits for them to arrive, he takes in the142Please respect copyright.PENANAoTY9v13ke6
scene around him, admiring the sleek, modern decor and the throngs of suited142Please respect copyright.PENANAtHjnCkUJLC
professionals bustling about their business. Finally, his guests arrive, and Mark greets142Please respect copyright.PENANAm5tVW7DDNQ
them warmly, his mind already working to im- press them with his charm and business142Please respect copyright.PENANA1knKc2AUIn
savvy. They make their way to the table, and the conversation quickly turns to the142Please respect copyright.PENANAqEB48BFi01
matter at hand: the investment opportunity Mark has been tasked with. Over plates of142Please respect copyright.PENANAG9bkoXpix1
seared tuna and glasses of fine wine, Mark lays out his pitch, explaining the details142Please respect copyright.PENANAKBybzgtydv
of the mining company and the potential profits they stand to make. His guests142Please respect copyright.PENANAKRg2ltJmFd
listen intently, nodding and ask- ing questions, and Mark feels a sense of pride and142Please respect copyright.PENANAsekVGagz0g
accomplishment wash over him. As the meal winds down, Mark seals the deal, shak- ing hands142Please respect copyright.PENANACaDbYjvCoJ
with each of his guests and making plans to follow up in the coming days. He leaves142Please respect copyright.PENANAmm3bG61guh
the restaurant feeling energized and confident, know- ing that he’s just taken a142Please respect copyright.PENANA5I71AWfrN0
step closer to achieving his goals. But as he makes his way back to the of- fice,142Please respect copyright.PENANAgfUXFYwZKh
he can’t help but feel a twinge of unease in the pit of his stomach. He knows142Please respect copyright.PENANAQfqwPMOtWH
that the investment is risky and that there’s a chance it could all go south. But142Please respect copyright.PENANA56HtGGNNTq
he pushes those thoughts aside, telling himself that he’s in control and always142Please respect copyright.PENANAyIk8rHClN3
one step ahead. Little does he know the consequences of his actions are already142Please respect copyright.PENANAao2a10OWMg
starting to catch up with him, and his power lunch may prove to be more costly than he142Please respect copyright.PENANAkwQ4ZjVZ4d
ever could have imagined.142Please respect copyright.PENANAtjAz8jumP3
