Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

A week later, Mr. Elderstone and Mr. Grant called Aurora and Mio to a meeting. After conducting a thorough market analysis, they had finally identified a target.

"We've gathered you here today to inform you that after careful negotiation and selection, we've chosen a company for a collaborative project," Mr. Elderstone began. "This company has been vetted by both of us, and we're certain neither of you has any personal connections to it. The challenge is simple: whoever secures the order from this company will win."

"What company is it?" Mio inquired. Both men were seasoned and shrewd, known for their meticulous decision-making, so Mio was certain they wouldn't make a misstep.

"Radiant Horizons," Mr. Grant replied.

Aurora, unfamiliar with other companies due to her memory loss, had no recollection of Radiant Horizons. Mio, on the other hand, found it odd. "Radiant Horizons has been around as long as we have, a legacy company for over a century. They've always seen us as competitors. Why choose them?"

"Precisely because we've been rivals for a century," Mr. Elderstone explained. "There's no room for personal bias here. This will be a significant test for both of you. If you can secure a deal with a direct competitor, that's true skill."

Aurora remained unfazed. In her mind, there were no eternal rivals, only eternal interests. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Mio. "What's the matter? Are you scared now that you know it's a competitor?"

"Scared? Hardly," Mio retorted with a smirk. "I'm just curious. You've lost your memory and don't know anything about this company. Once you dig deeper, you'll understand."
