Chapter 1002

Cody let go of her, his expression hard. “Jimena, you’re really letting someone like her walk all over you for a deal? What happened to your self-respect?”

His words hit like a slap. Tears spilled before she could stop them. Cody, caught off guard, fumbled for a tissue. “Why are you crying?”

She hadn’t cracked when Janelle humiliated her. But Cody’s judgment cut deeper. “You think I want this?” she snapped, her voice shaking. “I don’t have a choice. MacLean Corp needs this deal—and I’m doing it alone.”

“I’ll find you another deal,” Cody said without thinking. Realizing what he’d said, he added, “I screwed up your shot with Janelle. I owe you.”

Jimena stared at him, stunned. Cody pushed on. “Get ready tonight. You’re coming to a party with me.”

Before she could reply, he turned and left, leaving her with a faint smile and a flicker of warmth in her chest.
