Austin's cold gaze swept over Zane, his voice firm as he remarked, "We're not signing this contract."

Zane's smile faltered, disbelief flashing across his face. He stared at Austin, his voice urgent. "Why not? The price we're offering is the lowest you'll get from any company."

Austin remained silent as he kept staring at Zane.
