Cynthia had assumed this deal was a guaranteed slam dunk.
After all, Felix had personally assured her that his word carried enough weight within The Zane Group to secure the contract.
But it wasn't until she was actually sitting in this waiting room that she began to sense something was wrong.
Felix's supposed "influence" was barely enough to get her through the front doors, granting Ross Healthcare nothing more than a fleeting chance to be seen.
When it came to actually signing a contract, he had absolutely zero authority.
Just last night on the phone, Felix had been comforting her: "Cynthia, don't worry. The company recently took an interest in a component supplier called NovaPath Systems, and they were right on the verge of signing."
"If I hadn't pushed so hard for Ross Healthcare, they never would have hit pause to consider a second option."
"Getting them to even give you a chance to compete is a massive win. Just bring your proposal today, go through the motions, and let me handle the rest."
Hearing that, Cynthia had finally breathed a sigh of relief.
NovaPath.
She hadn't even given the name a second thought.
In her mind, some obscure little supplier couldn't possibly compete with Ross Healthcare.
Even though her company had suffered major setbacks recently, it still held prestige. More importantly, she had The Lockwood Group and Dominic backing her.
As long as she willed it, she could always stage a comeback.
But she never in a million years expected the head of NovaPath Systems to be Seraphina.
Why was she everywhere?!
Watching the woman sitting across from her with such perfect poise, Cynthia felt a suffocating wave of rage crush her chest, making it hard to breathe.
"Seraphina, you really know how to hide in the shadows."
Seraphina didn't even look up, completely unbothered to acknowledge her.
Cynthia's face darkened, her voice turning venomous.
"What? Too scared to speak now?"
