“Time has done you good, Laura. You look stunning,” he said, still looking at me. “Holy crap, I still can’t believe I finally found you.”

Richard, who was next to me, laughed lightly and commented, “That’s curious, first this place and then you, it seems that Laura never stops surprising me.” He was referring to me coincidentally meeting billionaire Jason Davies. I had never told Richard about my story with Jason. I had already told him that I had been married and everything, but I had never told him who I was married to.

“And who are you?” Jason asked Richard in a somewhat uninteresting way. Jason didn’t need to force sympathy on Richard since he was the boss there, but unlike him, Richard needed to please him if he wanted Jason to approve our project.

“Ah, I’m Richard Carter, sir. Mrs. Thompson’s friend and partner,” he said.

“Partner?”

“Yes, she is the one who manages Hextec; that company is like her; she is an incredible woman,” he said, smiling at me.

“Richard is being kind, he is the majority owner of Hextec,” I said sincerely.

“Just because I have most of the shares, because let’s face it, if it weren’t for you; that place wouldn’t even exist,” he replied, making me. embarrassed by so many compliments. “You see, I met Laura randomly at a time when I no longer believed in myself, but she appeared at Hextec and revolutionized everything, and today we are gaining the visibility that she and her team deserve. It’s all her work, she’s the one who deserves the credit.” I knew what he was trying to

Just like me, Richard was also taken by surprise when Jason Davies himself appeared at this lunch. That was the perfect opportunity for him to “sell me”, demonstrating all my qualities and exploits in the business world to whomever knows, the billionaire wouldn’t stay

there trying to hire me for one of their multi-billion dollar companies. The project on which we came to partner with Nemesis would be a grain of sand compared to what working directly with Jason Davies would provide me.

Richard was a loyal partner, he was willing to lose me at Hextec if the billionaire there noticed me and wanted me to work directly with him. He was willing to lose me to see me grow even more. Richard cared about me, but what if he found out that this man who made me so beautiful, who he wanted so much to make attractive, so I could be noticed, what if he found out that this man was my ex-husband?

“We analyzed the demo of your project, and it is exceptional,” the lawyer said, praising me as well.

“I’m telling you, she’s a natural talent. I love Hextec, but seeing a talent like her holed up in that little office seems unfair to me. Laura deserves big things,” Richard continued. Oh my God. Shut up, Richa please!

“Are you in love with her by any chance?” Jason asked Richard so bluntly that it made my eyes widen. What was the need for the question?

“It’s so in my face, isn’t it?” Richard gave a relaxed laugh, and I lightly. scratched my neck, feeling uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation. Of course, that wasn’t going to work out well, having found my unfortunate ex-husband after so long was a portent of my decline.

Jason leaned his back against the chair and sighed, still looking at me. “Do you remember this place, Lau?” He asked, referring to the
