Seated at the large dining table for dinner, Jossy and Damien ate in silence as had become a norm. Despite the silence, Jossy ate happily as she hummed to a popular tune. Damien noticed it immediately. She was smiling more than usual, a lightness in her voice he hadn't heard in years. She looked carefree, and it was unsettling.
He set down his glass of wine and studied her. "You're in a good mood," he said casually, though his eyes were carefully scanning her.
Jossy couldn't hide it even if she tried.
Earlier that day, Lennox Corp. had called. As per her conversation with HR, she had performed extremely well in her interview, and they offered her the position. She had almost screamed from excitement when she got the news. She hadn't worked a single day since college; back then, her life had been swallowed up by her relationship with Damien and wedding plans. Yet here she was, holding a job offer in her hands. She couldn't contain the excitement. She had signed a job offer, and not just any offer. The salary had stunned her. Did Lennox really pay that well for such a role? She didn't know, and she didn't care. For the first time, she would earn something of her own. Something Damien couldn't claim credit for.
She pushed her fork around her plate, hiding the grin tugging at her lips. "It was just.. a good day," she murmured.
