Vivian stood outside Lena’s office long after the conversation had ended.
The blue folder felt heavier than it should have.
Inside was more than a business proposal.
It was a new beginning.
Chris noticed her standing still and walked over.
“You’ve been staring at that folder for five minutes.”
Vivian smiled absentmindedly.
“I know.”
“So...”
“Good news?”
She hesitated.
“I don’t know yet.”
Chris laughed.
“That’s the most confusing answer I’ve heard today.”
Before Vivian could explain, Lena’s assistant approached.
“Miss Vivian.”
“Lena asked me to remind you that there’s no pressure.”
“Take all the time you need.”
Vivian nodded politely.
“Thank you.”
She watched the assistant walk away.
No pressure.
If only making life-changing decisions were that simple.
At Kingsley Group...
Adrian sat alone in his office.
The divorce papers were still neatly placed on his desk.
He hadn’t signed them.
He hadn’t hidden them.
Every time he looked at them, he remembered Vivian’s words.
> “I didn’t need evidence ... I needed my husband.”
A knock interrupted his thoughts.
“Come in.”
Ethan stepped inside.
“Sir, the legal department confirmed something.”
Adrian looked up.
“What is it?”
“The media outlet that started the plagiarism story received an anonymous payment two days before the article was published.”
Adrian’s eyes narrowed.
“Can we trace it?”
“We’re trying.”
Adrian stood slowly.
“I don’t care how long it takes.”
“I want to know who did this.”
“Yes, sir.”
As Ethan turned to leave, Adrian spoke again.
“And one more thing.”
“Sir?”
“Send flowers to Vivian’s office.”
Ethan smiled slightly.
“I’ll arrange it immediately.”
Adrian looked out the window.
Maybe...
It wasn’t too late.
At L&B Interior Studio...
The receptionist placed a large bouquet of white lilies on Vivian’s desk.
“These just arrived.”
Chris raised an eyebrow.
“Someone must be trying very hard.”
Vivian looked at the small card attached to the flowers.
She opened it.
> Congratulations on clearing your name.
I’m sorry.
- Adrian
She read it once.
Then closed the card.
Without another word, she carried the bouquet to the reception desk.
The receptionist looked surprised.
“Miss Vivian?”
“Please place these in the lobby.”
“They’ll brighten the office.”
Chris looked at her.
“You don’t want to keep them?”
Vivian smiled politely.
“They’re beautiful.”
“But they don’t belong on my desk.”
Chris understood immediately.
She wasn’t rejecting the flowers.
She was rejecting what they represented.
An apology that had arrived too late.
That afternoon...
Vivian sat alone in the design studio.
The blue folder lay open before her.
She reread the proposal.
The overseas branch.
A larger team.
International projects.
Creative freedom.
Every page reminded her of the dreams she had quietly buried after marriage.
A gentle knock came at the door.
Lena stepped inside.
“I thought I’d find you here.”
Vivian smiled.
“This place helps me think.”
Lena walked over.
“Have you made your decision?”
Vivian looked down at the folder.
Then slowly closed it.
She lifted her head.
This time...
There was certainty in her eyes.
“I have.”
Lena waited quietly.
Vivian took a slow breath.
“I’m ready...”
“ ... to start the next chapter of my life.”
Lena didn’t speak immediately.
She simply looked at Vivian, searching her face.
There was no hesitation.
No uncertainty.
Only quiet determination.
A small smile spread across Lena’s face.
“I had a feeling that would be your answer.”
Vivian let out a soft breath.
“I’ve spent the last few years making decisions based on everyone else’s expectations.”
“My family.”
“My marriage.”
“What people thought I should do.”
She looked down at the folder.
