Three days later, I delivered the finished proposal to Neva.
I didn’t take long for her to respond. The call came directly from Neva herself, and her voice was warm and reassuring. “Ms. Moreno, you didn’t disappoint me. Let’s move forward as you suggested, and I look forward to a smooth collaboration.”
“Of course. Mrs. Norman. You can count on me.
After three solid days of work, I felt completely drained. When I got home that night, I indulged in a massive seafood feast before collapsing into bed, cuddling with Juno and falling into a deep sleep..
The sense of fulfillment that work gave me was something marriage could never provide. In this role, I’d found my confidence and energy, and I only kept getting better at it
Later, Austin came to apologize, bringing a small cake with him. He wasn’t a bad guy, just a bit lacking in ability.
However, he knew how to handle people, and since his father was one of the board members, I couldn’t afford to make an enemy of him.

Manuela slammed the phone down in anger.
On the last day of their blood donation, I still treated them to a meal. During dinner, I casually brought up the incident where Manuela had thrown a tantrum and smashed things.

As soon as I said that, everyone at the table looked relieved, even happy. The only one who didn’t look pleased was Manuela, But that was a good thing. At least now she wouldn’t dare cause any more trouble, and she seemed to calm down.
On Christmas Eve, Martha had another check–up. This time. I didn’t see Jeremy at the hospital,
