Romina said, "River.".

River stayed quiet, waiting for her to go on.

Romina smacked the swollen side of his face-it was red and definitely hurt.

"What kind of girl do you like?" Romina asked. "I could actually be your matchmaker and introduce you to someone. Then maybe you'd finally stop fighting me for business.".

River replied, “Unless we're in different industries, there'll always be competition. Whoever wins the client has the skill.".

Romina said, “So, what, you admit defeat now? You've never admitted defeat before. You've always had to go toe-to-toe with me. Can you even compete? Your company was almost bankrupt, then you came in and turned it around—and suddenly we were enemies.".

River snorted. "Back then, we couldn't grow because you were suppressing us. We were on the brink of bankruptcy. But business is all about profit. Everyone wants to win. I didn't steal, cheat, or play dirty. I beat you with real ability. That's not wrong. As long as the contract isn't signed, it's fair game.

Even after a contract is signed, companies can still compare deals and work with multiple vendors. It's like when we shop-we compare prices before buying anything.".
