wave of longing for his blunt, no-filter ways hit her.

Since that day, she had promised herself that unless Robin-her reckless troublemaker-was around, she would stay far away from alcohol.

Lincoln's expression faltered, a momentary shift in his smile. "But don't you think business and drinks go hand in hand?"

Vera inhaled deeply before responding, "Mr. Feron, business is important, but alcohol is not something I'll entertain. If having a drink is a prerequisite for doing business with you, then I'd rather not proceed." The air in the room thickened with tension.

Lincoln's face darkened as he shot a quick look at Sarah before turning back to Vera. "Ms. Silva, do you think you're better than me?"

Vera remained calm, her smile still in place. "Mr. Feron, if my choice not to drink makes you think I'm looking down on you, I apologize, but I don't believe we can work together."

With that, she stood, gathering her purse, ready to leave the room.

Sarah acted quickly, grabbing her arm and giving Lincoln a subtle look.
