Getting back together with Jared? Not a chance. If | cback to life just to end up with him again, what's the
point of being reborn? | might as well have been reincarnated as someone else and started over from scratch.
“Yvonne, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to remarry him,” | said, hardening my heart as | remembered how distant
she becfromin my previous life.
“Mom, is it because | used to be naughty that you don’t like me?” Yvonne asked, her voice full of sadness.
| just couldnt bring myself to tell her about everything I've been through.
| looked up and shut my eyes tight. When | opened them, | stared at the ceiling and said, “You've been so
mature. Let's just say it’s your mom who's being childish this time. | need to choose my own life.”
Yvonne just lay there for a long time, then buried her face in the sheets and started crying. She didn’t say
another word.
Watching Yvonne slowly becmore mature, crying just because we had to part, really made my heart ache.
For a second, | just felt lost-Victoria didn’t even know what the right way to guide her was.
The next morning, | dropped Yvonne off at school early. She gavea little wave before heading inside, her

grade brings. | just sat there in my car for a long moment, lost in thought, before finally driving away.
During the company’s morning meeting, | resumed my role and took back the reins of management.
After the morning meeting, | made my way to Jared's office and knocked on the door.
He quickly stubbed out his cigarette and stood up. “What's up?”
‘Jared was always a clean freak, never really into smoking. Guess things have changed if he’s lighting up at work
now, | thought to myself.
“Let’s talk in the conference room. There’s a bit of smoke in here,” Jared murmured.
“It’s fine, we can just talk here,” | said, handing him the contract Edward sent over. “This is a new deal. Check it
out.”
Jared sat in his big black chair, carefully flipping through the contract. Then he looked up at me. “Edward gave
you this deal?”
“Yeah, | think it’s a great opportunity. It'll really help us get our brand out there,” | said. “And from what | can tell,
it’s a guaranteed win for us.”
Jared always saw the bigger picture when it cto market analysis. He nodded. “Yeah, looks like this contract
is tailor-made for you. Edward really doesn’t mind splashing out to back your career.”

Jared let out a self-deprecating laugh. “You know, people like you who bring in their own connections and deals
are exactly the kind of talent every company wants to steal.”
| frowned. “Can you stop being so salty? Just tellif we're moving forward with this deal or not. | need to get
ready for the next round of negotiations.”
Jared glanced over the contract a couple more times, then nodded. “Yeah, let's go for it. This one’s all yours.”
