Selma still couldn’t shake off the heavy feeling in her chest.
“Elodie must be riding high after this, but honestly, does she really think she has what it takes to run a company as massive as Nexus Analytics? She’s dreaming. Give it a little time—she’ll run it into the ground before long!”
Sylvie frowned, tacitly agreeing.
Judging by the fact that Elodie had cut ties with her the moment she took office, it was clear the woman wasn’t exactly rational or cut out for big things.
“In a few months, when my art show opens, it’ll be a grand affair. The Thorne family will be seething with envy.”
Sylvie barely reacted to the news about the art show, her mind elsewhere. “Don’t worry. Jarrod will help me. I’m meeting someone in a couple of days.”

For the past few days, clients had been streaming in and out of VistaLink Technologies nonstop.
Elodie barely had a moment to herself.
She had to up her dose of painkillers just to get through it.
Her name—and VistaLink Technologies—were now known across the country, which, oddly enough, turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
The successful collaborations brought in more business than ever, easily making up for the losses caused by the recent “plagiarism” scandal—several times over, in fact.
Elodie knew the company’s teams had all worked themselves to the bone.
Ever since the plagiarism debacle, everyone had been clocking overtime.
So, after talking it over with Alexander and Esmeralda, she decided to give everyone a two-day break—a team-building trip set for Goldspire, the ultimate shopping paradise. She even handed out shopping cards for everyone.
A little reward was overdue.
And while they were at it, Elodie and Alexander would check out the latest industry exhibition in Goldspire.
After all, you had to keep your eyes open and stay curious if you wanted to keep growing.
Once they checked into the hotel, Elodie let everyone plan their own itinerary.
Esmeralda, ever the adventurer, was eager to explore, and Elodie and Alexander were happy to let her wander off shopping while they made their way to the exhibition.
By the time they finished, it was nearly six in the evening.
Right on cue, Esmeralda called, “I managed to get us a table at the most famous restaurant in Goldspire. It’s right by Victoria Harbor—the night view is incredible. I’ll send you the location, come quick!”
Elodie agreed.
It would take them about half an hour to get there by car.
