Chapter 41
~Zara’s POV~
"Mr. Blake," Snow greeted coldly. "I wasn’t aware we had a meeting scheduled." He shot me a glare.
Blake didn’t flinch, rather, he straightened his back, smirking slightly. "I thought I’d drop by to get a feel for things firsthand. And Zara here was just filling me in on the details."
I could feel the tension thickening in the room. Snow’s posture was rigid, his jaw clenched tight as his gaze briefly flicked over to me before returning to Blake.
"Well," Snow drawled in an icily polite tone. "I handle the majority of business decisions for Aurora Conglomerate. Perhaps we can reschedule for a more formal meeting?"
From the way Blake’s eyes lazily moved between us, I could tell he already guessed there was a lot of tension between Snow and me.
He stood up, smoothing his jacket down. "Of course. I’ll let you two... discuss. Zara, it was a pleasure. I’ll be in touch." He gave me a nod before walking out, leaving me with an uneasy and enraged boss.
As soon as the door clicked shut, Snow turned to me, his eyes blazing. "Care to explain?"
Here we were? I stood, crossed my arms, feeling defensive. "I was securing an alternative option. Marcus is dragging his feet, and Blake is more than capable."
