Vera swiftly set her glass down, recalling a piece of advice Robin had given her during their time at Dawnspire Heights Estates: A woman drinking alone outside was bound to attract trouble.

If Robin had been here today, she would've had no hesitation in raising her glass and drinking until she lost herself in the moment.

Where is that troublesome guy now?

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.

With a soft smile, Vera spoke up, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Feron, but I simply don't drink.

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.

As Vera began walking toward the door, Lincoln's gaze followed her with greedy interest before he let out a loud laugh.

"Ms. Silva, I was just teasing! I admire women like you, who know exactly what they want!
