Glancing around the room. Tiara noticed Odette lingering by the door, her arms crossed and her expression carefully neutral.
Tiara knew exactly what was going through Odette's mind. She wasn't just upset about the presentation's success—she was upset about the growing dynamic between Tiara and Andy.
As if sensing her thoughts, Andy leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. "You good? You seemed a little distracted earlier."
Tiara straightened, meeting his gaze. "I'm fine. Just… had a little chat with Odette before here."
Andy's brow furrowed. "What kind of chat?"
"The usual," Tiara replied with a small shrug, keeping her tone light. "She reminded me of her family's importance to the company—and to you."
Andy sighed, his jaw tightening. "Tiara…"
She cut him off, holding up a hand. "I know, Andy. I know your dad has his plans. Odette's family is important for the partnership, and she's… important to him."
