Chapter 316 Respect Earned When Tessa first walked into Sinclair Corp, no one gave her a second look.
In the werewolf-dominated world of business, the unawakened were seen as weak.
+8 Pearls Tessa had neither awakened her wolf nor graduated from high school. In their eyes, she knew nothing about management-let alone running a corporation like Sinclair Corp.
But everything changed after the Beauty Lux incident.
She had pulled the brand back from the brink of collapse. Against all odds, she had saved it.
If she could turn around something like Beauty Lux, then maybe-just maybe-she could do the sfor Sinclair Corp.
Even the sharpest veteran wolf businessmen had started to take her seriously after witnessing her instincts and skill.

The rest quickly followed suit. In the blink of an eye, confidence rippled through the entire office.
That was the sight Donald say when he walked in.
"Well, look at her." He gave a low whistle. "She hasn't even done anything yet, and they already believe in her." "Donald, she's your competition now," his assistant reminded him quietly.

"I'd rather keep her in the game." "You're not falling for her, are you?" the assistant blurted out, wide-eyed.
Since when was Donald this... lenient? Donald gave him a sharp look.
"Don't talk nonsense. She's just a kid." Well-seventeen. Almost of age.

He could even sense the faintest trace of high-level wolf energy...
But it was subtle, almost hidden. Maybe he was imagining it.
As someone ranked below both Landon and Tessa, and with her wolf Emma keeping her aura concealed, Donald couldn't be sure. Still, it made him curious. "Mr. Donald." Tessa nodded politely. She didn't dislike him.
"Congrats on Beauty Lux. That was a huge success," Donald said sincerely.
It felt good to have a rival like her.
"Thank you. Your project was impressive too." Tessa's compliment was just as honest.
Donald really was competent-and this taround, he'd handled his side of the competition admirably.
"Feels kind of pointless for us to just stand here complimenting each other, huh?" Donald grinned.
"But honestly, Tessa-l admire what you pulled off. Bringing Beauty Lux back from the dead? That takes guts." Tessa arched a brow. "Believe me-skill has nothing to do with gender." 1.4K
