Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

"I'm not asking for consideration. I want a definite answer. If you can't agree to this condition, then everything we discussed before is off the table," Aurora demanded firmly, leaving no room for compromise.

"Fine, I agree. I agree to everything, okay?" Mira sighed in defeat. She couldn't handle Aurora's sharpness. Aurora wasn't just intelligent, but she also had a knack for reading people, and her methods were as precise as they were ruthless.

"Alright, since you're being so sincere, I'll show some sincerity too. I'll give you an answer before tonight," Aurora replied.

"You're so sure you can pull this off in such a short time? Julian is a man of his word. Once he's made up his mind, he won't change it," Mira said, watching Aurora's confident expression as if she had already triumphed.

"If I can't do it, wouldn't your trip here be in vain, Miss Mira?" Aurora countered.

She understood Mira's conflicted feelings. On one hand, Mira wanted Aurora to convince Julian to continue their cooperation. On the other hand, out of jealousy, she didn't want Aurora to succeed-or at least not so easily.

The easier it was for Aurora to succeed, the more it proved her importance to Julian. Mira's emotions were tangled.

Looking into Aurora's clear, penetrating eyes, Mira sighed, "Aurora, I've been in the business world for years, but this is the first time I've ever been outmaneuvered by a young girl."

The compliment was genuine. Mira admired Aurora's abilities, despite her jealousy. Aurora was a rare talent, and Mira couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie.

Today, Aurora reminded Mira of her younger self. She wondered if, had she met Aurora before crossing paths with Julian, the two of them might have become good friends.

"Let's take it as a compliment, Miss Mira. Don't worry, I'll work hard to keep up with both of you," Aurora said earnestly.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for the day you become my true rival," Mira replied, her grudges now gone.
