His gaze sharpened slightly, a faint glow flickering in his eyes as he studied me. "Scarlett, do you think I'm not capable of handling Fuller Corporation's audit?"
The pressure in his voice wasn't loud, but it carried weight, like a young Alpha trying to prove he already belonged at the highest table.
I kept my expression calm. My brows lifted a little as I answered carefully, "You built Harrison Credit at a very young age. I don't doubt your ability. But we've never worked together before, and trust takes time. Fuller Corporation will still hold a bidding process. If your firm wins, then I hope we can work well together, Mr. Harrison."
His lips pressed into a line.
"It doesn't matter," he said, leaning back slightly, eyes still locked on me. "It feels like you don't trust me, Scarlett."
That tone made my patience thin.
"That's not true, Mr. Harrison," I replied, my voice cooling slightly.
