My CEO 355

355 The Evidence Arrives

(Judy)

The courier should've delivered what I need by now. I glance at my watch.

It's been a long game, planting seeds of doubt in Jayden's mind, and it's about to pay off. Winona might think she's made her way back into his heart, but love doesn't survive betrayal-especially not Jayden's brand of jealousy.

I tap my fingers impatiently on the desk, looking out over the city skyline. Winona. That self-righteous little snake. She's always acted like she's better than me, like she's won.

There they are. The photos.
