Meanwhile, in a vehicle heading toward Sterling Group, Riley sat in the back seat, absentmindedly fiddling with his cell phone.
His confidence had grown after the presentation when he got a call from one of their military insiders, who told him the higher-ups had favored their presentation.
'It's about time, Riley,' he told himself with satisfaction. 'It's about time you win this and prove to everyone that you're capable of leading Sterling Tech.'
Now, he couldn't stop himself from wanting to share the good news with his father. Winning the project would be an important step for him.
He turned toward the window to check how far they were from Sterling Group, only to realize that they were still about ten minutes away.
Riley sighed and relaxed against the seat, already imagining his father's joyful and proud reaction when he told him the news.
