“Are you sure everything is okay?” I fearfully asked Richard, who was on the other end of the line, to make sure Anne was okay. “Is she fine.
“Don’t worry so much, dear. I already dropped her off at daycare; she’s fine; she just misses you,” he said, reassuring me. I sighed, a little. relieved. Likewise, I had never spent a night away from my daughter, but now with this project that forced me to temporarily move to Manhattan, I was going to be away from her for about three months, and no matter how much I would return to Staten Island every weekend anyway, I was still missing my daughter.
“Well then, don’t be late to pick her up when she leaves, okay?”
“Okay, Mommy,” he laughed at me, and I rolled my eyes, entering the elevator of a building while I went to the Nemesis offices. It was the first day I had agreed to start work, so I was going to meet with the directors to agree on how we would work.
“I’m just worried, Richard.”
“You’re worrying about nothing, your baby is fine. Just focus on work and enjoy it,” he said, and I nodded, smiling.
“You’re right. See you later.” I turned off my cell phone and looked myself in the elevator mirror.
I was wearing a dress, a formal dress that was tight and beautiful, black heels, and light makeup on my face, but with red lipstick. My hair was also loose and well combed, falling down my back. I felt ready to face the beast outside, so when the elevator stopped, I got out and went to the Nemesis offices.

That place was like a busy studio, with stylists, models, and eemployees going from one side to the other, very busy with their work.
“They, are you Laura Thompson, the new marketing director?” A man aapproached me, and I nodded with a smile.
Yes, it’s me.”

“Nice to meesycoup dando.” I smiled at him, but the next question

He was daughing like someone was tell gossip. “He left us amazed beccause firstly, Jason Davies never showed up here, we didn’t even know this place was his, and
secondly, since he started showingupp here, he’s never spoken a word to anyone outside the directors.”
“Oh, that’s sad…” I ran my hand through my hair, feeling embarrassed about the whole situation. Why did Jascon have to tell these people that I was once married to him? If his wifeddound out about this,

Orlando stopped me in front of a door and pointed with his arms,” This is the board. Good luck, babe,” he said and left. I sighed and pushed the door inside, entering the boardroom.
There were a handful of men in suits who stared at me as I walked in,
Jason Davies was one of them. He was looking at me with his deep. gaze, and it was as if time stopped and the rest of the world. disappeared from his perspective. He had such a deep gaze that I was unaware of, he had never looked at me like that, not even when
we were married.
“It’s so good to see you again, Laura,” he said with a tender smile on his face. I even had to look away. I smiled at the other men, approaching them with a handshake.
“Hello, nice to meet you, gentlemen. Laura Thompson, at your service, “I said.
Jason Davies was the last man I saluted. When our hands came
together in a squeeze, I could feel the firmness of his warm hand. He was still looking at me, so the squeeze took longer than expected.
“Hello, Mr. Davies,” I said formally.
One of the directors introduced me to everyone briefly, and everyo welcomed me, but I could feel a certain tension in the air as if the
men couldn’t handle the information that Jason and I had been a couple in the past. As much as I tried to separate the personal from the professional, I noticed that it would be almost impossible because Jason was there and made a point of always touching the personal.
For example, when he interrupted the film director to compliment my dress, he said, “You look beautiful in that dress, light colors suit you. very well. Remember when I gave you that dress in our third year of marriage? You were stunning that day, as you are now,” he said,

about such personal matters and not in a damn meeting with the directors of one of the biggest clothing brands in the city.
I smiled fairly, just wanting to bury my head in a hole and hide from shame. The directors were so embarrassed that they didn’t even
know where to put their hands.
“Sorry, but can I meet the team I’ll be working with?” I asked the film. director, trying to ignore my ex-husband, who could only afford the
worst trouble.
The man nodded, smiling in relief. “Sure, please come with me,
ma’am.” He pointed the way, and I followed him, but Jason was also going with us. “Oh, there’s no need to come with us, Mr. Davies,” the director said, unable to understand why Jason was coming with us. Jason shouldn’t even be here in the first place, for God’s sake. He didn’t have a multibillion-dollar company to manage.
“I’m coming with you!” Jason responded somewhat harshly, making
the older man flinch.
“O-of course, sir. I’m sorry, you can come with us. It’s this way,” he said, almost shaking, and led the way again. My God, Jason was so unnecessary. I rolled my eyes and followed the man.
The director introduced me to the entire team, who were young and lively people, but it was also worth noticing the suggestive looks they threw in my direction, especially when Jason Davies didn’t come out from behind me as if he were my bodyguard.
“You seem to be well-qualified professionals, I can already predict that this station’s advertising campaign will be a success.” I praised with a smile the team I would already be working with over the next few weeks and said goodbye to them to get to know other sectors such as the set filming, but when I turned around, I ended up tripping over my shoe and lost my balance, almost falling to the ground, but I
