Leah didn’t waste a second. If Nico thought he could outmaneuver her by pulling an international deal out of nowhere, he was underestimating her.
Back in her office, she called her most trusted analyst, Erin, and got straight to the point.
“I need a full risk assessment on Nico’s expansion strategy,” Leah said, fingers drumming against her desk. “Every potential pitfall, every possible flaw—find it.”
Erin nodded. “I’ll have a report by morning.”
Leah leaned back in her chair, exhaling. She wasn’t just fighting for the bet—this was about control.
And she refused to let Nico take that from her.

Her grip on the phone tightened. “Who is this?”
