Cynthia looked up at him, her voice weak. "But the contract is already signed. What else can I do?"
Felix's heart tightened under her gaze, and he blurted out, "If not The Zane Group, there's always Apex Global."
Cynthia's eyes flickered imperceptibly.
Felix held her hand, his tone growing increasingly earnest. "Cynthia, rest assured. If The Zane Group doesn't sign you, it's their loss. Apex Global can fully back Ross Healthcare's project. As long as you're willing, I can have someone connect with your team right now, and I'll find a way to make up for the rest later."
Apex Global.
The heavy knot of anxiety in Cynthia's chest finally loosened a fraction.
It was the company Felix had founded years ago when he left The Zane Group to start his own venture. Initially, no one believed in him, assuming he was just a wealthy heir born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Without his family's protection, everyone thought he would eventually crash and burn.
But Felix's father had doted on his son. To help build momentum, he not only poured in massive resources but also pulled strings to secure numerous partnerships in secret.
Over the years, while Apex Global was not yet a behemoth on the scale of The Lockwood Group, it had become a formidable force in the Northport business circle.
With Apex in her corner, she effectively had a secondary safety net.
Cynthia's mind raced with calculations.
Lately, Dominic's attitude toward her had been wildly inconsistent.
Sometimes, the look in his eyes lacked the absolute trust he used to have in her.
It made her deeply uneasy.
Dominic was the ultimate prize she wanted to secure, but she couldn't gamble all her chips on an increasingly unstable man.
She absolutely needed an escape route.
And Felix was undeniably the best candidate right now.
Even if the day came when Dominic truly abandoned her, as long as she still had Felix and Apex Global, she wouldn't be left with nothing.
