A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 58:

On the 23rd floor of Ocean Tower, Belinda sat in Madisyn’s office, typing away at the computer and meticulously removing every mention of Cathy from the divorce agreement. Behind the desk, Madisyn’s voice carried across the room as she guided a group of new models with firm authority.

When Belinda finished the deletions, she glanced up at her best friend. Madisyn now exuded confidence and experience, commanding the room with ease. Belinda couldn’t help but smile.

She remembered their first meeting vividly. Back then, Madisyn was just a shy fledgling model, her eyes alight with excitement at the prospect of the fashion world—much like the new recruits she was now coaching.

Joyce Scott had leaned against Belinda’s shoulder during that initial encounter, laughter bubbling from her lips. “Belinda, my classmate is incredible—straightforward, generous, and talented! Someday we’ll start a jewelry business. I’ll handle operations, you’ll design, and Madisyn can be our advertising model. We’ll be unstoppable!”

Nineteen at the time, Belinda had felt her own dreams sparkle. She had pinched Joyce’s nose playfully and replied, “All right, I’ll lead us to success!”

Madisyn had joined in their laughter. “I believe our future is bright… Joyce, you can call me ‘sister,’ just like you do Belinda!”

Joyce had rolled her eyes. “I only called Belinda ‘sister’ because I lost a bet. I don’t use that term for her anymore, and I’m definitely not starting with you.”
