After the gala reveal, the company buzzed with whispers.
"Will the CEO fire Adrian Kane?"
"After the way he treated her, he's finished."
But Jeny didn't.
She kept him exactly where he was. No demotion, no punishment.
That confused everyone even more. Why protect the man who had wounded her so much?
Adrian, however, remained the same cold, unreadable figure. No apology. No regret shown in public. His silence was sharper than his insults had ever been.
