Michael Reyes stood at the entrance of FreshBites, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. The line of eager customers stretched far back into the corridors of SM Aura, and the excitement was electrifying.

As the clock struck 10 a.m., the doors of FreshBites swung open, and the first wave of customers poured in, greeted by the friendly staff. The vibrant atmosphere inside, with its bright greens and oranges, immediately made an impression. The smell of freshly prepared food wafted through the air, drawing people further inside.

"Welcome to FreshBites! Please take a look at our menu and let us know if you have any questions," a cheerful server said to the first group of customers. The menu offered a variety of healthy options, from salads and wraps to grilled chicken sandwiches and Filipino dishes with a healthy twist.

Michael watched as people approached the counter, their eyes scanning the menu with curiosity. Among the first to enter were several well-known vloggers, their cameras already rolling, capturing every detail of the new restaurant. They chatted excitedly among themselves, discussing the menu and the ambiance.

"Hey guys, we're here at the grand opening of FreshBites at SM Aura!" one of the vloggers announced to his camera. "This place looks amazing, and I can't wait to try their healthy fast food options. Let's see what they've got!"

A group of popular Filipino actors and actresses followed, drawing the attention of the other customers. They laughed and posed for photos with fans, adding to the lively atmosphere. One actress, well-known for her advocacy of healthy living, looked particularly thrilled to be there.

"This is exactly what people need," she said to her friends as she looked at the menu. "I'm so excited to support this new venture."

Michael couldn't help but feel a swell of pride as he watched the scene unfold. Bridget joined him, her face beaming with satisfaction.

"Look at this turnout, Michael. It's incredible."

"It really is," he agreed. "I'm just glad everything is running smoothly so far."

Inside the kitchen, the chefs were working at a brisk pace, ensuring that orders were prepared quickly and efficiently. Plates of fresh salads, wraps, and grilled sandwiches were whisked out to the dining area, where customers eagerly sampled the offerings.

A young couple at one of the tables took their first bites, their faces lighting up with delight. "This is so good," the woman said, savoring her grilled chicken wrap. "It's exactly what I hoped for – healthy but still really tasty."

Nearby, a vlogger was trying the Filipino dish section of the menu, live streaming his experience. "Guys, you have to check this out," he said, holding up a forkful of the healthy version of adobo. "This is a game-changer for fast food. FreshBites is definitely going to be my new go-to spot."

The actress and her friends decided to try a bit of everything. They shared plates of food, commenting on the flavors and the freshness of the ingredients.

"This is fantastic," one of the actors said. "I can't believe fast food can be this healthy and delicious."

As the morning turned into afternoon, the steady stream of customers continued. Michael made his way through the restaurant, stopping to chat with diners and gather feedback. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many people expressing their excitement about having a healthy fast food option.

The day after, it was now the opening for the EcoThreads store. Michael arrived at SM Aura early again, feeling similar excitement and anticipation as the previous day. He made his way through the corridors of the mall, heading towards the new EcoThreads location. The storefront was vibrant, with large glass windows showcasing the eco-friendly clothing line and stylish displays.

As he approached the store, he was greeted by another long line of eager customers waiting for the doors to open. The buzz of conversation filled the air, and Michael could see several vloggers and influencers among the crowd, ready to document the launch.

He stepped inside the store, where the staff was making final preparations. The interior was designed to reflect the sustainable theme, with natural materials, bright lighting, and green accents. Racks of clothing made from organic cotton, recycled fabrics, and innovative materials like bamboo were neatly arranged, ready for customers to explore.

At exactly 10 a.m., the doors opened, and the first wave of customers entered EcoThreads. They were greeted by friendly staff, eager to assist them and share the story behind the brand.

"Welcome to EcoThreads! Feel free to look around and ask us about our sustainable materials and ethical production practices," a staff member said, smiling at the customers.

Several well-known fashion vloggers and influencers were among the first to enter. They began filming immediately, capturing the store's layout, the clothing, and the overall vibe.

"Hey everyone, we're here at the grand opening of EcoThreads at SM Aura!" one vlogger announced to his camera. "This place is incredible. The designs are not only stylish but also eco-friendly. Let's take a closer look."

A group of popular Filipino actors and actresses arrived, drawing attention from other shoppers. They mingled with the crowd, taking photos and expressing their excitement about the new store.

"I love the concept behind EcoThreads," one actress said as she browsed through the racks. "It's so important to support sustainable fashion, and the designs are gorgeous."

Michael watched as customers explored the store, their faces lighting up as they discovered the unique clothing pieces. Bridget joined him, beaming with satisfaction.

"Michael, look at how excited everyone is," Bridget said. "This is exactly what we envisioned."

"It's wonderful to see, Bridget. Look at how our popularity has grown. We are going to enter every industry and, sooner or later, the Reyes Corporation will dominate every market," Michael replied.

"You'll make a lot of enemies in every industry," Bridget warned but not really threatened by the thought.

"I don't care. I am the richest man in the Philippines. I can do what the fuck I want," Michael said with a grin.

Bridget chuckled, shaking her head. "Yes you can."
