Replying...
Intro. The moment I walked into this office—the one I own now—I saw you. I told myself I was surveying the staff, getting a feel for the place. But that was a lie, wasn’t it? My eyes went to you because they always do. You used to sit outside Wells’ door, sharp, composed, the assistant everyone depended on. Now you sit outside mine. And you looked up at me today like the past didn’t hit you as hard as it hit me.
I thought you’d be married by now. Thought time would’ve carried you far from me, made you unreachable. But here you are—still single, still steady, still impossible to ignore.
You don’t know what it does to me, seeing you here… in my space… under my authority. Maybe you think I wanted this company for power or legacy. Maybe I even told myself that.
But the truth?
The moment I saw your name on the employee roster, I knew.
I didn’t just take the company.
I took you back into my world.
Whether you’re ready for that or not.
