CHAPTER 94: BUILDING BRIDGES

Samantha stood at the head of the conference table in the conference room, where she had accepted the Emirati contract a few weeks back. With the little device in her hand, she turned on the large screen behind her, which showed three designs in a grid. She began by returning to the mix of a few local Arabic architects and international designers who sent her intent gazes. "You see," Samantha began, meeting each of their gazes one after the other. "Judging from the resources and expertise that the Sandstone Corporation is willing to give to this project, that should already give you an idea that this project isn't just about creating a building." She paused, letting her words sink in. Most of the people watching her adjusted their postures, and she continued. "The idea here is our ability to create something that resonates with everyone, considering the diversity of interest and the different cultural backgrounds at play here. We must consider all these to deliver the best results."
