Carlos's POV
Grace and I had been locked in this heated debate for quite some time. Neither of us was willing to back down regarding Vita's role as Secretary.
I insisted that Vita should serve as both our assistant, though her primary focus needed to be supporting Grace's overwhelming workload. My reasoning was straightforward - Grace's pregnancy demanded this arrangement. I refused to let her overwork herself to the point of exhaustion, potentially putting our unborn child at risk.
Grace, however, saw my concern as nothing more than meddling. She accused me of trying to dictate her life simply because I'd contributed my genetic material to her pregnancy.
She adamantly rejected my interference, insisting she'd handled everything independently before and her condition wouldn't change that - at least not until the final months.
This bitter dispute had reduced us from potential partners to something less than even friends.
