The meeting room was already tense before either of them spoke. Adrian Vale sat across the table, file in hand, pretending not to care. Then the door opened. Isabella Rose walked in.
She didn’t hesitate. Her eyes landed on Adrian instantly, calm and unbothered. “Oh great.” A small smirk formed as she stepped further inside. “Let me guess… you’re my partner for this project?” She pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down like she owned the room. “Try not to slow me down.”
