Georgia's morning in the office was nothing out of the ordinary—just the usual string of calls and meetings. The biggest headache was still the same clients who had given their notice that they will no longer renew their contracts.
Last week, she carried the weight of that negotiation herself, but now things were different. With Nick offering to merge her company into his, she could afford to step back since they would be supplying workforce to his new ships anyway.
She assigned the renewal task to the sales team, freeing her own time to focus on restructuring plans for the future merger and surprise Nick with it.
Katie was a constant little shadow in her office, alternating between coloring books spread across Georgia's desk and munching on snacks Wendy had packed.
Every so often, Georgia would pause her work just to admire the child's focus, the quiet comfort of her presence reminding her what all this effort was really for.
