“Ma’am, | know Mr. Thorne is your boyfriend, so you want to match him step for step. But Thorne Corp really is
the benchmark in the industry. Reaching that level is incredibly hard, Donald replied.
Even as a man, he had to admit-Landon was someone to admire.
That man was a born leader, whether on the battlefield or in business. He was always number one.

misjudged you. You can leave. I'll find someone else.”
She needed a capable right hand.
If he didn’t think he could handle the role, then he could walk.
“Ma’am, that’s not what | meant,” Donald said, exasperated. Did she really think anyone could surpass Landon?
“Either you go all in with me, or you can walk out right now,” she said flatly. She wouldn't tolerate anyone
coasting under her leadership.
Donald knew full well that Tessa was competent.

He just hadn't expected her target to be that high.
“Alright, | understand. Don’t worry-I'll give it everything I've got.” Since Tessa had chosen him, he definitely
wasn't going to let her down.
“Good. I've already sent this year’s planning document to your inbox. Go over it with the other executives. We'll
meet tomorrow to discuss it.”
That was the main reason she ctoday.
“If there's nothing else, I'll be heading out now."
Tessa stood to leave.
Donald personally saw her off.
The moment she was gone, he rushed back to open his inbox. When he read the planning document, he was
completely stunned.
How could there be such a massive difference between people?
She hadn’t even started college yet!
How did she manage to create such a strategic and detailed plan?
Donald was honestly excited. It felt like he, too, might be able to reach the top of his field. The feeling was
electrifying.
He immediately called his secretary.

“Call in all the department heads. Meeting room. Right now. Everyone's working overttonight” Terea had
already done the planning herself-there was no excuse for the rest of them not to study it thoroughly.
“Yes, sir!”
After leaving Sinclair Corporation, Tessa swung by Beauty Lux.
She knew Harper had been managing it well, but she still felt it was important to check in.
When Tessa arrived, Harper and a group of staff were hard at work.
“Ms. Harper, Ms. Tessa is here!” one of the employees called out when they saw her.
Harper turned around and spotted Tessa dressed in a sharp, tailored suit. She immediately set down her work
and walked over.
“Ms. Tessa, what brings you here today? Got new orders for me?” Harper joked.
Tessa smiled.

“No orders-just figured it’s been too long since | cby. Wanted to check in. How's everyone doing? Any
problems at work?”
Tessa still had a soft spot for Beauty Lux.
After all, she had led it from the ground up.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Tessa. Everything's great at Beauty Lux. Everyone's working hard. Our performance has been
improving steadily, and everyone's pay has gone up.”
The whole team was full of motivation.
“Good. Once everyone wraps up, lunch is on me.”
“Thank you, Ms. Tessa. Why don’t you go rest in the office for now? It's too hot out here.”
“It’s fine. I'll stay and keep you company.”
Harper beamed.
Their Ms. Tessa really didn’t put on airs at all.
She might cacross as cold on the outside, but she was actually incredibly warmhearted.
At noon, once the team finished their work, Tessa took them to a well-known steakhouse nearby. The staff were
thrilled.
The place was practically booked out for Beauty Lux’s team alone.
