As Tessa stepped out of the Sinir Residence, she saw that Landon was already waiting outside. His sleek silver-gray car stood out even in the snowy weather- impossible to miss.
She walked over, opened the door, and had barely fastened her seatbelthen she caught him staring at her.
"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Even if there was something there, did he really have to stare like that?
He was practically burning a hole in her face.
"Nothing. Just wondering how someone like you even exists-someone who can draw me in like this."
Where the hell did he learn to say stuff like that? It was honestly too much.
"Alright, let''s go."
It was about time. She had to head to Beauty Luxe''s branch office-these next few days were herst push.
Noticing the pink flush at the tips of her ears, Landon let out a quietugh.
The whole ride there, he was in a great mood. But once they arrived in front of the Beauty Luxe building, his mood dropped again. They''d only just started dating, and already they had to part ways.
"I''m heading in now." Seeing the reluctant look in his eyes, Tessa finally said something. The truth was, they were both way too busy to be hanging off each other every day.
"Tessie, are you really not even a little tempted to join me at Thorne Corp?" Landon had wanted to poach her from the very first moment they met.
That desire had only grown stronger since then. If Tessa joined Thorne Corp, he''d get to see her way more often.
"Not even a little."
What would she go to Thorne Corp for? She had plenty on her own te. Sure, Sinir Corp wasn''t anywhere near Thorne Corp in size-for now. But that could change.
"Alright then." Landon sighed. Why do I keep asking questions just to get rejected?
"You just got a break too. Don''t work yourself to death. And when you have time, remember to call me." She was still in high school, yet here she was handling all thisplex stuff-it made even him feel bad fc
"Got it. I''m heading up now." It really was time-she needed to go.
"Mm. Go ahead. I''ll stay here and watch you go in."
"Mr. Thorne, don''t be like that. You''re making me feel guilty," Tessa said with a soft smile.
That small smile alone made him willing to walk through fire for her.
"Come here," Landon said, curling a finger at her.

"If anythinges up that you can''t handle, just remember-I''ve got your back. I''m always here, twenty-four seven."
"Mr. Thorne, it''s not like Beauty Luxe is some kind of bottomless hell. You''re being dramatic. Okay, I really have to go."
There really wasn''t any time left.
"Alright."
Tessa sat in the conference room, flipping through thetest sales reports from Beauty Luxe.
Overall, she was satisfied.
Just a month ago, Beauty Luxe was basically infamous. And now? They''d turned things around in less than thirty days. That was no small feat.
"Ms. Sinir, is there anything else we can do to guarantee we win?" Harper asked. She was well aware of the bet between Tessa and Sinir Corp.
She sincerely hoped Ms. Sinir would continue leading them after this. That''s why she wanted the numbers to look even better.
"You''ve already done an excellent job," Tessa said, nodding with approval.
Harper finally let out a breath of relief.
"There are three days left until Sinir Corp''s shareholders'' meeting. In that time, Beauty Luxe needs to push onest round of sales."
Tessaid out the final targets, then began presenting her new marketing strategy.
Just listening to her, Harper was already beyond excited.
Ms. Sinir was incredible. This kind of n-only she could''vee up with something like it.
"I''m on break right now, so if anythinges up, feel free to call me."
With that, Tessa stood up..
"Ms. Sinir, are you heading out already?"
"Yeah."
Samuel was flying back to Yalvariater today. She still needed to see him off.
The flight wasn''t for a while yet, though-just enough time for her to make a quick stop at Lightwing Order.
