"Dr. Joane," Jasmine purred with a coy smirk, leaning forward with predatory grace.

"This information is our company's deepest secret. But, if you're willing to join us formally, I'll gladly reveal the mastermind behind Emerald Elixir-provided he's willing to show his hand."

"You certainly know how to play your cards, don't you?" Joane retorted bitterly, recognizing Jasmine's carefully laid trap.

"Alright, hand me the damn contract. I'll sign."

Jasmine's secretary swiftly produced the document, and Joane scrawled her signature, sealing her fate.

Meanwhile, Jasmine cast a mischievous glance toward Alex, eyes glinting with cunning amusement. "Can I reveal the genius behind our elixir now?"

Alex scowled faintly, irritated by Jasmine's blatant manipulation.

Clearly, she viewed him as nothing more than bait to ensnare Dr. Joane.

"Fine," Alex sighed resignedly. "Given my stake in this venture, I suppose I can't refuse."

"Thanks, Alex. I keep owing you more and more," Jasmine teased, winking playfully.

"So, Miss Kingston," Joane pressed eagerly, her eyes bright with anticipation.

"Who exactly is this prodigious mastermind behind the Emerald Elixir?"

"The genius," Jasmine declared with dramatic flair, pausing for effect, "is standing right in front of you."

Joane's jaw dropped, eyes widening in astonishment as she stared at Alex.
