Damien didn't buy it. He leaned back in his chair, watching her too closely. Something was different about her. Too different.
The following morning after breakfast, once Damien left for work, Jossy sat in their bedroom, laptop open. Her first official day with Lennox began as she thought; Today I will be doing something I love.
Her to-do list was clear on the screen, neatly outlined by the HR coordinator who had onboarded her the previous afternoon.
It seemed simple enough, almost too simple, but she quickly discovered it wasn't just about replying with polite thank yous. Customers were asking for skincare advice, comparing Aurora Glow to other high-end brands, and even sharing pictures of themselves wearing the product. Each comment needed a thoughtful and engaging response. And Jossy loved it.
A smile lingered on her lips as she leaned back, stretching. She hadn't smiled like this in months.The job gave her hope for the future. Maybe it was a foundation. Maybe before she thought about babies again, something Damien wanted so bad, she could give herself six more months to adjust, to build, and to grow professionally. But it would be a secret, at least before he finds out, because she couldn't keep such a secret forever.
