Too Late To Love Me I Already Left With His Twins (Lydia and Dave) novel Chapter 101

Unmoving

But I didn’t look

I didn’t give him that

We moved into Q and A

Back and forth

Tight

Focused

Three conversations happening at once

Legal concerns

Media timing

Investor pressure

I handled all of it

Switching between them

clean

sharp

“Timeline?” someone asked

“72 hours for first response,” I said

“Two weeks for narrative shift”

+20 P

“Three months for full recovery positioning”

And if the leaks continue?”

“They will,” I said simply

“But we will already be ahead of them”

I turned slightly

Finally

Just briefly

Not to him

To the room

“That’s the point”

By the time we wrapped up

Everything was in place

Tasks assigned

deadlines set

Clean

Surgical

“That will be all for today,” I said

Closing my file

Standing

I was tired

Not physically

Just… full

I changed

Showered

Sat on my bed

Phone in my hand

Marcus

I should call him

I need to call him

I stared at his name for a second

Then tapped it

It rang once

Twice

Then a notification popped up

My assistant

I frowned slightly

Ended the call
