Chapter 316 Respect Earned

When Tessa first walked into Sinclair Corp, no one gave her a second look.

In the werewolf–dominated world of business, the unawakened were seen as weak.

Tessa had neither awakened her wolf nor graduated from high school. In their eyes, she knew nothing about management–let alone running a corporation like Sinclair Corp.

But everything changed after the Beauty Lux incident.

She had pulled the brand back from the brink of collapse. Against all odds, she had saved it.

If she could turn around something like Beauty Lux, then maybe–just maybe–she could do the same for Sinclair Corp.

Even the sharpest veteran wolf businessmen had started to take her seriously after witnessing her instincts and skill.

“Ma’am, good morning.”

A few employees greeted her respectfully, unconsciously straightening their backs. It was the kind of posture one made in front of a superior predator–instinctive, reverent.

The rest quickly followed suit. In the blink of an eye, confidence rippled through the entire office.

That was the sight Donald say when he walked in.

“Well, look at her.” He gave a low whistle. “She hasn’t even done anything yet, and they already believe in her.”

“Donald, she’s your competition now,” his assistant reminded him quietly.

Donald had always had his eyes on the executive seat.

Now wasn’t the time to admire a rival.

“So? What do you think your odds are this time?”

They’d put everything they had into this.

Donald shook his head. “No idea.”

Without Tessa, he would’ve been completely confident.

But now that she was in the ring–things weren’t so certain anymore.

“Want me to use some tricks to force her out of the race?” his assistant offered. It wouldn’t be the first time they’d played dirty.

Business was war. Only results mattered.

“Forget it. This girl’s interesting,” Donald said, stopping him immediately. His pupils gleamed with a faint flash of wolfish excitement. “I’d rather keep her in the game.”

“You’re not falling for her, are you?” the assistant blurted out, wide–eyed.

Since when was Donald this… lenient?

Donald gave him a sharp look.

“Don’t talk nonsense. She’s just a kid.”

Well–seventeen. Almost of age.

As they spoke, Donald caught sight of Tessa ahead and walked over to her.

“Hey, Tessa. Long time no see. How’ve you been?”

He’d been busy lately and hadn’t gotten the chance to visit. Now, up close, he could tell–her presence had

grown stronger.
