357 Meeting Astrid

(Winona)

"Ready for the meeting?" Jayden asks, his voice warm and reassuring.

I force a smile. "Of course."

We head down the hall, past rows of glass-walled offices where people work silently behind screens. Everyone is dressed to perfection, every detall immaculate.

It's a far cry from the life I had back in the States, where chaos was the order of the day, juggling kids, work, and everything in between.

I'm trying to adjust, I really am, but this place is so different. So... emotionally cold,

"Astrid is in the meeting room. She isn't friendly but she keeps this place running like clockwork. Don't let her bother you. She's all about Nexus Global and she hates change."

As we approach the meeting room, the tension in my stomach tightens. I wonder if Sofia will be in there? Jayden opens the door, and I step inside, my eyes immediately landing on her. Astrid Koenig. Wow, I think even her short, sharp hair is too scared to fall out of place.

She's sitting at the head of the table, looking up from her tablet, and I instantly feel like a mouse under the gaze of a hawk. She stands to greet Jayden.

Her movements precise, calculated, every inch of her screaming authority. She's tall and incredibly slim.

"Astrid, this is my wife, Winona," Jayden says, smiling as though this is just a normal introduction. He clearly doesn't sense the frost in the air.

Astrid's eyes sweep over me.
