Memories of the past flooded my mind as I stared at the building. I couldn’t help but think about the times when I used to visit Luke here. But he had ignored me back then, causing me immense pain.

I nodded, offering a reassuring smile. “Yes, Andre will drive me home once the meeting is over, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Alright then,” he replied before driving away.

Standing alone, my gaze returned to the building, and I let out a deep sigh. This meeting was going to be challenging, but I knew I had to be strong. I couldn’t be the same vulnerable Ariel that everyone knew five years ago. Things had changed drastically, and the past few years had taught me the importance of resilience in the face of adversity.

Jack then turned to me and extended his hand. “And you, Mrs. Reynold.” He quickly corrected himself: “Oh, I apologize, Ariel Walker.”

I shook his hand, returning his smile. “Just so you know, the name’s Ariel Clinton.”

“Ariel Clinton?” Jack raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by my words.
