Chapter 4 — The Meeting That Changed Everything
A week later, Ethan received an unexpected invitation.
Marcus Bennett wanted to meet him.
Ethan arrived at Bennett Technologies headquarters nervous.
He expected criticism.
Instead, Marcus welcomed him warmly.
“I know what it feels like to be underestimated,” Marcus said.
Ethan looked surprised.
“You?”
Marcus smiled.
“Especially me.”
He explained how many people had judged him before they knew his achievements.
The difference was that Marcus decided not to let those judgments define him.
“I could have spent my life proving people wrong,” Marcus said.
