York, of course, didn't have a clue about design, and since I was the only director of the Design Department, with the whole department united behind me, there was no way he could wedge himself in. In the end, he had no choice but to slink away, defeated.

I wasn't sure if he'd run to Merritt to complain, but I knew I wasn't going to back down.

If I did, with those two key departments under his control, Clyde's position would be hanging by a thread.

Just before clocking out, I got a call from Eliana, as fiery and proactive as ever, getting everything arranged for me.

"Melanie, your lucky break is here!"

She buzzed with excitement over the phone for a good ten minutes before finally revealing that her cousin, the one working on cancer research, had come back from abroad.

"I just found out he returned yesterday, and I've snagged him for dinner tonight. We're all meeting up!"

Before I could even agree, she sent me the address.

Thinking this might just be the opportunity I needed, I agreed to meet them.

When I mentioned meeting Eliana to Clyde, he wasn't too pleased.

"Why did you have to invite her? I thought you two didn't get along?"

"Who told you that? We've been close since college," I retorted, not a hint of guilt in my voice, leaving Clyde speechless.

Eventually, I explained that Eliana was also an important client we couldn't afford to neglect, and he reluctantly agreed.

Now that Clyde and I had to maintain this loving couple façade, commuting together every day, I was honestly feeling a bit suffocated.

Finally having some personal space was a huge relief.
