Sydney took a moment to gather her thoughts. "So, there's this huge project we've been working on at the company. "
"A partnership that, honestly, I never thought would actually happen. I imagined it, but didn't dare believe it could come true. I was selected as co-director, and to my surprise, Jordan was picked from another firm to be my partner."
The woman leaned in, a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes. "You must be thrilled, right? Life seems to have brought you two back together. Doesn't that bring you joy?"
Sydney's eyes flickered, conflicted. "At first, I was ecstatic. I couldn't believe it—until I saw Jordan. His reaction completely flipped the script. When he saw me as co-director, his face changed. "
