The conference room was already starting to empty when I wrapped things up, the last slide still glowing faintly on the projector screen. Ava sat beside me, tapping notes into her tablet, while Daniel organized the files he'd brought for the financial breakdown.
"Alright," I said, closing the folder in front of me. "Two weeks from now, the Meridian Development Initiative officially breaks ground. We'll finish running the final financial validations before the end of this week."
Ava nodded. "Construction teams from all five subcontractors are already on standby. Moreau Dynamics, RT Industries, Dwayne Constructions, and Quintech Global have all confirmed staffing."
Daniel looked up. "And the cash flow model for Phase One has been updated. No deviations so far."
"Good," I said. "Let's keep it that way. Last thing we need is surprise revisions this close to launch."
Ava gave a small, tight smile. "We're ready. As ready as we can be."
