Ethan Knight’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his knuckles tensing instinctively before relaxing again. "Dad, I just don't think Lisa is qualified. I'm worried she'll mess up the project." "Worried about the project? Or is this just personal?" Alexander Knight cut him off, a faint sneer playing at his lips. Winnie Carter's eyes fixed on Alexander. Her heart skipped a beat. This was her first close look at the tycoon of the elite circle. High cheekbones, a sharp, straight nose—even in a full suit, he exuded an intense, ascetic aura. She knew Alexander was young, but she wasn't prepared for how he looked in person. "Mr. Knight, that was my mistake." Annoyance flashed in Ethan's eyes, but he swallowed it. He knew his adoptive father’s temper all too well—arguing would only make things worse.
