Countdown to My Divorce

Rachel wasn’t the type to shy away from responsibility, but she also wasn’t about to let someone falsely accuse her of something.

She turned to look at Samantha. “Ms. Judd, my timing wouldn’t have been an issue. Based on the time I left LS Enterprise, I wouldn’t have missed the meeting. The appointment with Trinity Enterprise was set for 3.30pm, and I left LS Enterprise at 3.10pm. It only takes about ten minutes to get to the meeting place by taxi, so I had ten minutes to spare.

Noticing the confusion on Samantha’s face, Rachel gave a small smile and added, “And if I’m not mistaken, you probably waited at least twenty minutes, right?”

Samantha’s expression stiffened. She hadn’t expected Rachel to be so precise with the timing. She even knew that Samantha had waited for twenty minutes after arriving at Trinity Enterprise.

Rachel’s smile grew slightly. “I know because Trinity Enterprise’s CEO had a video conference this afternoon. He sent me a message this morning, saying he would be ten minutes late.”

Samantha stood frozen for a moment. When she spoke again, her voice was quieter, tinged with an almost pleading tone.

“Rachel, I’m sorry. I thought you were too busy, and I just wanted to help. I didn’t mean to make you think I was trying to take the credit from you. I promise, that’s not what I was doing. The Trinity Project is yours; I’ll have William change the name on the contract to yours. I’ll make sure you get the commission too.”
