Adriana's polite smile remained fixed, though she could sense the underlying tension in Mia's tone. "Yes, that's me," she responded evenly, not giving away any hint of discomfort. "I'm here to ensure the partnership between Mr. Takahashi's firm and this company runs smoothly."
Mia tilted her head slightly, her eyes narrowing as if trying to assess Adriana. "It's interesting. You've only been here a short while, and yet, it seems like you're already a big deal around here." She paused, letting her words hang in the air. "Especially with Joshua."
Adriana remained composed, her expression neutral. "I'm here to do a job, Mia. My focus is on making sure this investment benefits everyone involved." She paused before continuing, her tone measured. "And that includes helping Joshua and Claire in whatever way I can."
