It really is her. I saw her picture when my head of digital marketing brought this small firm to my attention. I see him kiss her and anger swells inside me and I get a flash of something. A pain in my head and Winona in a similar suit and me kissing her and wishing her luck for an interview. 

Then the pain is gone and the only thing I feel now is annoyance. How unprofessional of them. Aren’t they supposed to be business partners? I mean she has every right to move on but for some reason I can’t shake the anger right now. 1 

Her eyes are locked onto mine and her face reddens:- push open the door and stride in as if I couldn’t care less. I have a very lucrative contract in my hand and it will get signed today. 

I place it on the desk. “It’s all in there, you have twenty–four hours to sign. If you don’t sign, there will never be another offer from our company.” 

I remember the last time I told her to sign papers, three years ago. Divorce papers. 

She certainly isn’t crying this time. She looks great, I mean, really great. 

“24 hours is not long enough. I need to have my legal team look over this.” 

“You don’t have a legal team. I’ve done my homework. I heard you’re the best. I only hire the best and I wanted to come and see for myself. You’ve done well for yourself, Winona.” 

She glances at her business partner and he gives her a quizzical look. Clearly he has no clue I’m her ex.” There’s ten million dollars on the table. Life changing money. Sign it and I’ll see you in my head office next week. You’ll need to relocate of course.” 

“Now hang on a minute. You aren’t barging in here telling me what to do with my life. This is my business and I’ll conduct it wherever I please. My firm is here and here it will stay.” 

“Ten million, Winona, perhaps we’d better at least read the contract…” Her partner says. 1 

“Phillip, I’m not sure I’m ready to relocate. I’m settled here.” 

“I’d like the opportunity to discuss it. This is my deal you said.” 

I pull the contract back off the table and he almost has a panic attack I think by the look of shock in his eyes. He wants this deal but he has no idea of our history. “Perhaps this firm isn’t as professional as i thought. Clearly you two are struggling to get on the same page.” 

Phillip steps forward. “Mr Brennan, I’d like the opportunity to pitch to you independently.” 

My, he is desperate. I can use this to my advantage. “No. This deal includes you both and relocation is needed. I have a couple of huge campaigns coming up and I can’t do that with you in another city.” 

Winona is staring at me and I know she’s very annoyed right now. “You know if you sign with another company I can bring them and your company down if I want to.” 

“Why would you do that?” Winona asks. 

I shrug, “Just good business, eliminate the competition”

“I’m sure we can read through and give you a decision In 24 hours.” Phillip says firmly. He clearly isn’t going to let this go. I wonder how much influence he has over her?
