“You…”
Flora clenched her fists, her face burning with frustration.
She had only wanted to make a sharp remark, to flaunt a little superiority in front of Nora, but now she had been backed into a corner.
Although Flora didn’t understand much about design, she knew enough about STARLINE Studio’s reputation to know that provoking them was dangerous.
Especially in front of Leo… he was someone who carried weight, someone whose silence was heavier than any reprimand.
If she kept pressing the issue, the only one who would lose face was herself.
She scoffed, trying to sound indifferent. “You have a big mouth. Anyone listening to you would think you run STARLINE Studio.”
Nora, who had been calmly observing Flora’s increasingly strained composure, responded in a cold,
measured tone.
“Whether I can be the master or not, you can find out easily… just draft a breach of contract agreement and see if I dare to sign it.”
The air in the room tensed.
A breach of contract wasn’t a light matter.
If a party withdrew without valid justification, they would have to compensate heavily.
And judging by the confidence in Nora’s voice, she wouldn’t hesitate to terminate the contract… if only to prove a point.
Nora’s gaze sharpened. She knew something that Flora, in her arrogance, had overlooked… Linda’s studio was already struggling.
This project was their lifeline, a temporary respite from financial collapse.
Linda wouldn’t dare to let go of it easily. Flora could sneer all she wanted, but in reality, she had no authority to make any decisions.
Flora, sensing she had miscalculated, bit her lip.

“Are you sure what you signed is even legally valid?” Her tone had lost its earlier bite, shifting into something more cautious.
Nora’s reply was swift, unwavering. “If you’re so doubtful, why don’t you test it yourself? Or are you just
afraid to?”
Before Flora could come up with another retort, a new voice interrupted.
“What’s going on here?”
Linda had arrived.
She stepped forward with her usual air of composed authority, though a hint of irritation flickered in her
expression.
She hated unnecessary conflicts, especially ones that put her in an awkward position.
Nora didn’t waste a second. She spoke before Flora or anyone else could twist the story.
“Your staff said that STARLINE Studio is incompetent. That our lack of ability is the reason your team has had to modify the drawings repeatedly.” Her voice was steady, precise. “I responded that if your side truly believes we’re not capable enough, you are free to propose contract termination.”
She paused, letting the weight of her words settle before continuing.
“But this one…” she motioned toward Flora with an almost casual flick of her hand, “… dared to claim my signature is not legally valid. I told them to draft a breach of contract agreement if they really wanted to test it. But funny enough, the moment I gave them the chance, no one dared to follow through.”
Linda’s brows knitted together slightly.
Flora felt her breath catch in her throat. This wasn’t the result she had wanted. The moment Linda’s gaze landed on her, she stiffened. She knew that look… it was cold, calculating, and filled with quiet displeasure.
For a moment, silence lingered.
Linda was in a difficult position.
If she sided with Flora, it would make them look unprofessional, almost petty. But admitting fault meant losing face.
She exhaled slowly, her expression unreadable.
“It’s just a minor issue,” she said, her voice laced with indifference. “I don’t see why Ms. Nora should make such a big deal out of it.”
