Chapter 453

"But you are different. You're my sister. So, I'll be stricter with you," Zane said.

Tinsley knew Zane simply wanted her to approach the projects with a serious attitude. Ideally, he hoped she could learn as much as possible through these projects. That way, even if they stopped collaborating in the future, she would have the skills to pave her path. "No problem," Tinsley replied without hesitation.

Zane handed Tinsley a stack of documents and said, "Take these back and draft the proposals for these projects. Submit them to me, and I'll review them for you." Tinsley eagerly accepted the materials. "Got it."

Tinsley said with excitement, "Don't worry. I'll do these projects with 200% effort! It's late now. I shall take my leave."

"All right."

Zane watched her leave, then glanced at the time it was already 9.30 pm.
