Chapter 46 Collaboration with the Larson Corporation Tiffany squinted at the guy in front of her. He looked familiar, but she just couldn't place him.
"Guess you don't remember me," he said with a chuckle. He pulled a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to her. "I'm Ralph Larson, project manager and general manager of Larson Corporation. I'm here to talk about a potential deal with you, Miss Grey." When he pointed to the scar on his forehead, it all crushing back to Tiffany. She had saved someone from the Larson Corporation a few years ago it was him! The memories clicked into place, and Tiffany smiled as she took the card. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Larson." "Miss Grey, we have a project collaboration opportunity. Are you interested?" Ralph pulled a document from his briefcase and handed it to her.
Tiffany looked at him, puzzled. "Mr. Larson, why do you want to work with me?" "I believe in your skills, and you savedonce. I know your studio's goal is to build your brand's here. We can work together. Think it over and contactanytime." Ralph gave her tto think, his eyes never leaving her.
Tiffany skimmed through the contract. The terms were really good, even better than what Leon had offered last time.
"Mr. Larson, are you sure you want to sign this?" Tiffany asked, a bit skeptical.

"Alright," Tiffany agreed. This could get her designs into fashion magazines, which would be great for her studio. "Miss Grey, can I take you to dinner sometto thank you for saving me?" Ralph asked as he took the contract back.
Seeing his good attitude, Tiffany thought it wouldn't hurt since they'd be working together. "Sure," she replied. Ralph smiled and nodded.
Just as Tiffany was about to continue chatting, someone barged in and grabbed her wrist. It was Leon! "Leon, what are you doing?" Tiffany yanked her hand away, rubbing her wrist where it had turned red. "Tiffany, do you know who he is? And you're working with him?" Leon hissed, glaring at her.
"Of course, Mr. Cooper. What do you want? Are you going to meddle in my studio's business too?" Tiffany shot back, glancing apologetically at Ralph.
Ralph stepped in front of her and extended a hand to Leon. "Mr. Cooper, I'm Ralph. Nice to meet you. But it seems you're against Miss Grey working with me? Isn't that a bit much? This should be her choice." Leon's eyes darkened as he stared at Tiffany.
Tiffany rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Didn't you leave with Bronte? Leon, since you like Bronte, please know your place and stop interfering with my business. Mr. Larson and I are friends, and I want to work with him. Got a problem with that?" Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free.

Leon's fists clenched, his eyes shooting daggers at Ralph.
He hadn't actually left with Bronte earlier; he just helped her get a cab. After that, he remembered scontract details he needed to clear up, so he rushed back to the studio.
But when he saw Tiffany and Ralph chatting and laughing, an inexplicable anger flared up inside him, and he stormed in without thinking. Seeing Tiffany clearly siding with Ralph only made Leon angrier.
Tiffany shot back, "If I can work with Vertex Holdings Group, why can't I work with the Larson Corporation?" She knew all about the bad blood between the Cooper and Larson families, but that wasn't going to stop her from making money. Plus, her stuhad just gotten over a plagiarism scandal. If this deal went through, her fashion brand could recover and launch sooner.
Worried that Leon might lose it, Tiffany decided to get Ralph out of there. "Mr. Larson, I'm sorry. Let's talk next time." Ralph looked at her with concern. "Miss Grey, if you need any help, I'm here." He stood his ground, unafraid of Leon, even shielding Tiffany with his hand.
Leon's knuckles cracked, his eyes darkening. Before Tiffany could respond, he shoved Ralph aside and grabbed her hand, shouting, "No need!" He dragged her out of the stuand into the nearby parking lot.

He stopped, cornering her against the wall, using his body to pin her down. They were so close, her ear pressed against his chest, and she could hear his rapid breathing.
"Tiffany, the Larson Corporation is bad news! If you want a deal, Vertex Holdings Group can offer you the same!"
"No need, Mr. Cooper," Tiffany whispered. She didn't want to get om tangled up with Leox. Knowing he liked Bronte, all she wanted was to bring Barry back and stay away from them. "Do you like that guy?" Leon asked out of nowhere.
Tiffany laughed angrily, "I'm not like you, falling for someone so easily. I already said, Mr. Larson and I are friends." "Friends?" Leon sneered, gripping her chin, his voice menacing. "The way he looks at you is not how a friend looks!" His grip tightened, making her eyes water from the pain.
"Leon, are you sick? Your dirty mind sees everything as dirty! And even if I did have something with samedne etse what right do you have to interfere?" Tiffany kicked his knee hard. He winced in pain, loosening his grip on her chin. "Tiffany!" Leon roared.
"I can hear you, I'm not deaf. Leon, stay away from me. I don't want to be involved with someone like Bronte. And keep you mone people away from me.
Who I befriend is none of your business!" With that, Tiffany turned to leave, her face cold. Leon, feeling a tightness in his chest, was furious. Seeing her about to leave, he grabbed her arm, wrapped his other arm around her waist, and kissed her.
Tiffany's eyes widened, and she momentarily forgot to resist.
