Deal went well

"I'll love her and die with her memory…" His voice echoed in her mind, making her pause for a moment in the hallway, lost in thought.

Why had he said that? Was it really about her, or was it just part of the act?

She shook her head, trying to dismiss the flutter in her chest. Get a grip, she reminded herself. You're here to work, not get caught up in some drama. Focus on the bigger picture.

------------------------------------

Dante Blackwood, with his legal team, was all in to secure LuxVibe Couture and LuxVibe Innovations as a part of his growing empire , on the lowest deal possible.

Writer to readers: Yes, you got it right. These are the same companies owned by Sophia, the girl who stormed out of Victor's chamber. So now you get it why Victor said, "We don't need her family's support," because it will soon be acquired by Devotricks.

As Dante's lawyers meticulously went through the details of the deal, Dante's attention briefly shifted to the papers Aurora had highlighted earlier. His gaze lingered on a small, cheerful smiley face she had drawn at the top edge of one of the pages. A soft smile tugged at the corners of his lips which was completely out of character for the usually stern and formidable man. For a moment, the entire room seemed to freeze, staring at the rare sight of Dante Blackwood smiling.

The deal was finally secured at a much better price than Dante had expected. He couldn't resist sending a message to Aurora, "Deal went well" along with a picture of the smiley she'd drawn.

Aurora, who had been deeply immersed in managing the production process as the tech lead, felt a sudden warmth spread through her as she saw his message. A small, genuine smile broke across her face. It was a small moment of joy, but one that felt like a connection between them, something beyond work.
