Chapter Sixty–One: She’s The Real Deal Now.
“Okay… this is new,” Daisy said slowly, folding her arms. “You didn’t say anything about going back to your ex.”
Her playful tone disappeared. Her face turned serious. “I thought you were done with that chapter of your life.”
Daisy was the closest person to Cassienne. She knew everything. She knew how Cassienne had suffered in that marriage. She knew how Dreston treated her like she was invisible, like she didn’t matter. Five long years of neglect, silence, and loneliness.
Daisy would never support Cassienne going back to that man. Never.
“And who said I’m going back to him?” Cassienne replied calmly. “He offered me a job, and I accepted because it’s good for my career. That’s all.”
She spoke casually, almost dramatically, as if the matter was very simple.
“It’s just business, Daisy. Nothing more.”
Daisy was not yet convinced.
She narrowed her eyes and watched Cassienne closely as she continued browsing through the clothes racks, touching fabrics and checking sizes like nothing serious was happening.
“So,” Daisy said slowly, “you’re going to work under Tina now? Is that what you want?”
Her tone carried clear disapproval.
Cassienne stopped what she was doing. She turned and went to sit beside Aurora, who had been watching the exchange with quiet amusement.
“Who said I’ll be working under Tina?” Cassienne asked calmly.
Daisy blinked. “Isn’t it obvious?” she replied. “You said it yourself. Tina is the Director of Engineering.”
“That’s correct.”
“Then tell me,” Daisy pressed on, “if she’s already in that office, what exactly will you be doing there?”
Cassienne smirked.
That small smile made Daisy pause.
“Wait…” Daisy said slowly. Her eyes narrowed, her head tilting slightly as realization began to form. Then her brows shot up.
“Oh my God.”
She gasped.
“No way,” Daisy whispered, then suddenly screamed, “YOU’RE THE CTO?!”
Her eyes widened like they were about to pop out.
Cassienne only wiggled her brows and smiled mischievously.
The scream that followed from Daisy was so loud that everyone in the boutique turned to stare. Some even covered
their ears.
