Sarah suddenly spoke up. "Serena, are you so desperate to shut this down because you're afraid of taking the fall if it flops, or are you just worried that I'll outperform you and steal the spotlight?"
"Do you have the guts to do so?" Serena turned back and fixed her with a cold, cutting glance. "A project you clawed your way into with less than honorable means… Are you bold enough to brag about it?"
Sarah's words caught in her throat. She really didn't have the guts to do so. After all, Cole had just taken full responsibility at the breakup press conference, only to turn around and hand her a massive project.
Larson Group clearly didn't want to make too much noise about it, and as just a small piece in the machine, Sarah knew better than to run her mouth. Her plan was to keep her head down and finish the job quietly with Howard.
Serena narrowed her eyes. So, she guessed right.
Cole was in such a rush to end things with Regina. Was it because of Sarah?
No… something didn't add up. If Cole truly loved Sarah, why would he dump a near-dead project in her lap?
The more she thought about it, the less it added up. But Serena pushed the doubts aside and spoke again.
"A risky, shady project that no one wants to talk about sounds like trouble. Are you two sure that you still want to go for it?"
Howard glanced at Sarah, who had suddenly gone quiet. He hesitated. Just moments ago, Sarah sounded so sure of herself. What changed?
This was a massive investment. They couldn't afford to throw money into a sinking ship.
Feeling Howard's eyes on her, Sarah bristled with frustration. This was supposed to be her big moment, and now she was getting humiliated by Serena again?
