HIS LITTLE PET
"You act like this rich, unreachable prodigy, but the second Marcus barked today, you flinched. You let him parade me around like a charity case, and now you’re going to let him turn our design into another soul-crushing glass mall just so you can keep your inheritance!"
Adrian took a step toward me, his face flushing red. "I am trying to save your ass! You think passion pays your rent, Julian? You think the showcase judges give a shit about your little inner-city dream project? You’re broke, you’re naive, and if I don't carry this team on my back, you're going to be back working a night shift at a warehouse by next month!"
