Blake’s worries about her job had vanished. She realized that working elsewhere could be equally satisfying, and the relentless stress at Jardin Corporation was simply not worth it.

In the past, Blake spent her workdays casually scrolling through her phone, but Cecilia’s return had changed everything, Infusing her work life with unending tension.

Blake felt misled by Kevin’s empty promises of an important role alongside Cecilia. For days, Kevin had left Blake in suspense, never responding to her messages. And now, having exploited her, he had even blocked her number.
