Chapter 19

Sarah's

POV.

I threw myself into my work. Every day, from morning until late at night, I buried myself in meetings, planning, and strategy sessions.

It was easier to focus on the business than to think about Richard and Susan. The more I kept my mind occupied, the less time I had to dwell on them.

Wesley was always there. He always seemed to have some new idea or opportunity that could push my company forward.

We were a great team, and together, we made things happen.

"Sarah," Wesley said one afternoon, sitting across from me in my office, a stack of papers in his hands. "I've been looking into some new ventures. There's a lot of potential here for us to expand." I glanced up from my laptop. "Expand how?"

"Think of partnerships," he explained, laying out the documents in front of me. "We can collaborate with some big names. It would open up new markets and give us a real edge."

I scanned the papers. It all sounded promising. "This looks... ambitious."

Wesley smiled. "That's the point. You've got something special here. It's time to make the world see that."

I nodded. His enthusiasm was contagious. Plus, it felt good to have someone believe in me and my business so much.

It was like I had finally found my place, somewhere I belonged.

Days turned into weeks, and we started diving into the new ventures Wesley had proposed.

He was there every step of the way, guiding me through decisions and introducing me to the right people.

"You're doing amazing," Wesley said one evening after a particularly long meeting. "Richard has no idea what he lost."

I gave him a small smile, appreciating the support but avoiding the topic. "It's not about him," I replied. "This is about the company, about building something great."

"Exactly," Wesley agreed, his eyes sharp, almost calculating. "And we're going to build something unstoppable."

I threw myself even more into the work after that. If we were going to expand, we had to do it right.
