The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 211

At the time, the entire board of directors was dead set against it. Everyone argued, "Bianca's technical skills are unmatched, but who knows when she'll actually return? Stellaride Computing's R&D department can't remain leaderless forever."

Cillian Calder stood his ground. "Without Bianca, Stellaride wouldn't be where it is today. The position of R&D Director belongs to her, and her alone."

Because of Cillian's unyielding stance back then, Mathis Jagger suspected he was secretly in touch with her.

He had tried to hack into Cillian's computer, but the firewall was too robust to breach.

Mathis remained convinced that Bianca was perfectly safe and was simply waiting for the separation agreement to take effect before showing her face.

During those long days without her, he frequently tested the waters with Cillian, confirming her safety over and over just to keep himself sane.

Originally, he'd planned to pressure Stellaride Computing to force her out of hiding. But Mabel had just passed away, and Mathis feared that going after Stellaride would only make Bianca hate him more.

So, he let it go.

Now, sitting in her office, Cillian smiled at her. "You really have the best mindset, Bianca. You don't care about titles at all, as long as you get to focus on the tech."

Bianca set up her laptop. "Going to Austin City was just a temporary measure. My home is in Kingsbridge City. I was always going to come back."

She planned to visit her parents' and Mabel's graves this weekend.

That morning, the team dove into discussing new technical hurdles, tossing every unsolvable client issue onto Bianca's desk.

She gathered all the technical leads for a meeting. A few of the newer team leaders were young and arrogant.

When disagreements arose, they slammed the table and yelled at her.

Bianca didn't take it personally. She argued her points logically and fiercely, ultimately pushing through the most optimal solutions.

Tech geeks were generally straightforward, and compared to them, Bianca felt her own mind was far too weighed down, constantly scheming her revenge against Cynthia Quinn.
