“Alright, I take it back.” Donald chuckled. “Still, there aren’t many girls in all of Montedra who are as impressive as you–and you’re not even an adult yet.”

What made her remarkable wasn’t that she was a girl. It was that she had such capability, such strategy, at such a young age.

Thanks. Tessa replied simply, accepting the compliment.

Watching her. Donald felt his interest deepen.

Tessa. I have to say–you’re very much my type,” he said, his voice full of implication.

As he spoke, he released a faint trace of his pheromones—a subtle signal among werewolves used to express attraction.

He hadn’t found his destined mate yet, and if Tessa was interested, he wouldn’t mind seeing where things might go.

Even if nothing came of it romantically, they could still be allies. He had no doubt the two of them, working together, could carve out a whole new empire in the business world.

Tessa, of course, noticed the gesture—but socializing håd never been her strength, nor her interest.

Without acknowledging his words or his scent, she simply said, “Heading to the conference room,” and turned to leave.

Her sharp, chilly aura surrounded her like a silent warning. Keep your distance.

The primal instinct within Donald–the wolf beneath the man–was stirred for a moment… then subdued.

He followed her inside without another word.

The other shareholders were already there. Lila was present as well.

She didn’t go out of her way to greet Tessa. She already knew–when Tessa set her mind on something, there was no talking her out of it.

And truthfully, it didn’t matter much to Lila who became the executive president. She was just here to collect her dividends.

Whoever could bring Sinclair Corp profit was good enough.

Harper arrived just ten minutes before the meeting started, holding a folder of documents in hand.

“Tessa, you can relax. This quarter, our revenue doubled–again.”

With results like that, there was no question. Tessa would win the executive presidency today.

Tessa accepted the folder, flipping it open.

“Excellent work. Thank you for all the effort you’ve put in,” she said sincerely.

“Tessa, getting to work with you is an absolute privilege.” Harper replied with emotion.

Tessa had not only treated them well, but had also shared the rewards generously.

“Harper, once you’re back. I’m giving you ten percent of Beauty Lux’s shares.”

“Tessa?” Harper blinked, stunned.

In werewolf society, high–ranking wolves controlled nearly all resources. Someone like her–with no powerful bloodline or backing–no matter how hard she worked, would usually remain just another cog in

the machine.

But Tessa was willing to break those rules.

She had just turned a regular employee into a part–owner of the company.

It was no wonder even someone like Camille–Phantom’s successor–followed Tessa so loyally.

Tessa… really was worth following.
