Anna took Dawn’s hand and pressed her lips together. “I don’t know what exactly you’ve been through, but what fate looks like depends on your choices. A lot of things aren’t about right or wrong.”

How you choose–that becomes the right answer.

Dawn felt a little dazed as she listened.

Maybe she’d been chasing right and wrong too hard and almost trapped herself.

“So my choice now should be the right one, right?” Dawn said with a smile. “But even if it’s wrong, that’s okay. My mom would forgive me.”

Anna looked at the stunning face in front of her. Dawn had lost a lot of weight lately, and sometimes a single unguarded look in her eyes was enough to make people’s hearts ache.

“Your mom would never blame you. You’ve already done your best. But…”

“But what?”

“What about the baby?”

The wedding was canceled, which meant she’d decided to go her separate way from Ethan. So what about the baby?

“I plan to keep it and raise it myself.”

Dawn lowered her head and looked at her stomach. It was still early. There was no visible difference yet. Only she knew how miraculous it felt to have a new life growing inside her.

“I have a company now, money, family, and friends. I’ll make sure it grows up healthy, right?”

“Of course.”

Anna cupped her face and rubbed it gently.

“And if all else fails, you’ve got me.”

They smiled at each other. Dawn then took her to look around the garden room. They only went back to the living room once Raven finished cooking.

Anna was right. Raven’s cooking was excellent, and she had a warm personality. In no time at all, she’d already gotten familiar with Micah.

Dawn was satisfied and signed the contract with her on the spot.

“Raven, I’ll be leaving Micah in your care.”

“The way you say that makes it sound like you’re handing over an orphan.”

Micah realized it didn’t sound right as soon as he said it. He raised a hand and smacked his own mouth. “I’m telling you, Dawn, I’ll be back to normal in two days. I’ll have my own things to do then. Don’t go making too many plans.”

Dawn glanced at him and ignored it.

She turned to Anna and said, “I still have to go to the company this afternoon, so I won’t keep you.”

“Okay. Call me if anything comes up.”

Anna hugged Dawn, got into the car, and left.

Dawn didn’t linger either. She gave Raven a few instructions, then went to the company alone.

Mason had worked overtime in the morning and had just finished lunch.

“Ms. West.”

“Let’s talk in the office.”

“Ms. West…”

Mason reached out to stop her. His expression was

lly strange. “Maybe… we should go to my office instead.”

Dawn looked toward her office, then back at him.

She got it.

“She’s in my office.”

A statement, not a question.

Mason lowered his head. “I’d been running around outside these past two days. I only found out yesterday.”

“It’s fine. It’s just an office.”

Dawn’s face was calm as she turned and sat down on the couch in the lounge area.

“Call in the team leads. We’re having a meeting.”

She crossed her legs. The quiet pressure of someone in power came naturally, and her meaningful tone carried a hint of coldness. “Oh, right… Especially our project director, Ms. Nowak. Go call her.”

However, in just a few short days, the company was already different from before.

Mason sent out the notice. No one came for a long while.

A few minutes later.

The CEO’s office door finally opened.

A woman dressed provocatively walked out, red lips blazing. Anyone who didn’t know better would think this was an entertainment venue.

Jennifer flicked her hair and swayed over.

“Oh, Ms. West, you’re here?”

She hurried a couple of steps forward and draped an arm over Dawn’s shoulder, acting intimate. “I thought you’d be resting for quite a while, so I borrowed your office for now. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”

Dawn glanced at the hand on her shoulder and lifted two fingers to shove it away.

“Why do you think I wouldn’t mind?”

Jennifer put on a surprised look. “What?”

“If you take without asking, you’re stealing. So if you use my office without a heads–up, what should we call that?”

Dawn let out a cold laugh. She wasn’t planning to make a big deal out of this, because there was plenty more to settle.

She didn’t look at the woman beside her again.

Her voice dropped. “Mason.”

“Yes, Ms. West.”

“Anyone who doesn’t show up for the meeting within the last minute gets fired on the spot.”

Mason nodded. “Understood.”

Jennifer’s face turned ugly in an instant. What Dawn had just done was no different from slapping her across the face.

“Ms. West.”

She ground her teeth. “I don’t think their mistakes

are that serious.”

Dawn’s gaze swept over. “Didn’t you use

Jennifer choked. “That was standard procedure.”
