Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 215

215 The last board meeting

215 The last board meeting (Jayden)

I'm in my office at Brennan Industries early, as usual, but today there's a different energy in the air. It's the final board meeting before I drop the bombshell I've been planning for weeks.

My mood is still buzzing after a wonderful night snuggled up with Winona. Neither of us wanted to get out of bed this morning, and after today, I won't have to. It was perfect and we both slept like logs.

I've already been to the hospital to see Ashlyn and check on the baby. It's sobering to see her lying there, kept alive by machines while our baby grows inside her. Her mother is due to fly in today, so I'll make sure I'm available for her later in the day. They never had a close relationship but I'm sure this will hit hard.

This meeting is the last step in cutting ties with everything that's held me back for too long and I'm keen to get it done.

Lance is already here, sitting across from me, feet up on the corner of my desk like he owns the place. He's always been more comfortable in my space than I am, which says a lot about our friendship.

I'm focused on the files in front of me, but I can see his grin from the corner of my eye. I know that look.

"So, Winona called this morning," he starts, leaning back in his chair with a smug expression, "you ready for Friday night? We're hitting up that new club downtown. I've heard good things."

I chuckle, shaking my head. Leave it to Lance to be more excited about our night out than the massive business decision I'm about to make. "Yeah, yeah, I'm ready. But let's get through this meeting first. Then we can celebrate." "Celebrate, huh?" Lance raises an eyebrow, clearly amused. "You mean you're actually going through with.

this?"

I give him a serious look. "I've never been more certain about anything in my life, Lance. It's time to move on. Time to focus on what really matters."

Lance nods, the teasing glint in his eyes softening as he takes in my words. "Every man's dream, being kept by a beautiful woman. But just so you know, I'm still expecting you to show up Friday, no excuses from hen-pecked house-husbands are acceptable." "I'll be there," I promise, returning to the documents in front of me. "But first, can we just deal with today?"

we talk, I notice Lance's attention drifting. His gaze is fixed on something outside the large glass office window that
