Mr. Blake interrupted her before she could finish.

"Relax. I don't play dirty. You have my exclusive commitment. I will never manufacture for a competitor."

"Then it's a deal. Move fast."

Mr. Blake was a solid operator; his supply chain in Melvion City had been flawless.

It was a win-win, allowing Mira to entirely outsource the logistical nightmare of mass production.

At the Mercer estate, Fiona Quinn was visiting.

Fiona had always been Lacey Quinn Mercer's most trusted confidante, despite her destitute origins.

Back in college, Fiona had been starving and constantly rejected for part-time jobs until she stumbled across the wealthy Lacey.

Lacey had taken pity on her, giving her a position that kept her fed and sheltered through graduation.

Driven by immense gratitude, Fiona had dedicated her entire career to Lacey.

Her relentless work ethic and lethal intelligence quickly cemented her as Lacey's right hand.

When Lacey married into the Mercer family, Fiona came with her.

Lacey was deeply thankful for Fiona's recent strategic maneuvers that had extracted Mara from the Riverdale Detention Center.

Fiona's loyalty remained absolute.

Though over forty, Fiona maintained an elegantly youthful appearance.

In stark contrast, the sheer stress over Mara had severely hollowed out Lacey's features.
