Was Heather whispering in Jeffrey's ear while the company bled slowly from the seams?
Joanne leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temple. She couldn't make sense of it.
Philip hadn't said a word. Not in their calls. Not in the texts. He spoke to her often—but not about this. And Joanne, though tempted, didn't want to pry. If Philip wanted to talk, he would. She had a feeling Philip was keeping an eye on everything.
And as for Jeffrey...
She let out a bitter chuckle.
He was the CEO now. And maybe... maybe he was happy. Maybe he was living the life she should've had with him, only now with someone else. She wondered if they were planning a summer wedding. Maybe June. Or early July, under a canopy of roses.
It was silly, but she still found it strange to call Heather his girlfriend.
Because deep in some tucked-away corner of her heart, she still felt like she was.
Even after everything.
