14 The Board Meeting

14 The Board Meeting 14 The Board Meeting (Winona)

It's Friday afternoon again and a week has passed since the ridiculous incident at our welcome party a week ago. All the paperwork is done for the adoption and has been lodged. I feel better now after Ashlyn saw Abby because I know she will be trying to find out about her.

I'd never listed a name for the birth father. Mostly because I was trying to leave Jayden and all that pain behind. But also because I didn't want his mother to use it against me somehow.

There's a stack of work to get done today and my first board meeting. I'll need to work back again to catch up. Phillip left earlier to go meet with the podcast crew.

I need to double down on the social media site marketing. But I'll present both Phillip and my recommendations to the board and to the CEO Jayden today. My nerves are a little shot.

I'd gone to speak with Jayden on Monday about some recommendations but found out he hadn't come Into the office that day. Apparently, he hadn't been in all this week. I doubt he'd miss the board meeting though. He'd never miss a board meeting.

haven't seen Ashlyn or Judy either this week. While I probably should be happy about that, it feels like the calm before the storm. There's no way Judy has just let this all go. Maybe Jayden and Ashlyn are spending some time together to get their relationship back on track.

I hope so, because I'd love to just move on with my life and raise a healthy, happy daughter.

The shareholders always want to make good profit, so I need to make a brilliant pitch. My palms are a little damp from nerves. I hit the elevator button to head up to the top floor where the boardroom is.
