She was so happy. This client would take her where she wanted to go. They shook hands and departed from her office. She dropped her buy-out papers on Ebony’s desk in a sealed and confidential envelope. She hoped Ebony would read her letter and sign it. The check she enclosed was a good-enough offer. She wanted this working relationship over. She could never work with someone she couldn’t trust. The town car she paid to take her and Sandy to the airport was waiting for her. She was leaving her car at her office. She texted Sandy to let her know she was on the way, as he put her bags in the trunk. She was getting excited. Shontell was glad to see that she had a text from Nico; she must have missed it this morning when she texted her good morning to him. Her distraction with Jesse had her out of sorts. On her drive to her meeting, she wondered: did she make herself clear enough to Jesse that she had moved on? The driver explained to her that the chilled mimosas she requested were in the refrigerator as she had instructed.
