Istep back into themeeting, and Ezra is almost at the end of the presentation, taking questions and leading like a boss.
He was an excellent hire and has been with Obsidian Nexus for almost five years.I wouldn’t have walked out and left him with Mark and the Harrow & Armstrong Engineering team, who could be the largest offshore client we’ve ever secured, if I didn’t trust him.
Ezra and Andy shoot me a look.
Yeah, disappearing is not something I do, but I’m not explaining myself.
I’m sure hearing I had to step out so I could fuck my PA on my desk isn’t what anyone wants to hear.
“Apologies, everyone,” I nod, and take my seat back at the head of the table.
This contract is important for our long-term growth internationally and balancing out a loss we sustained earlier in the year to a competitor.
That’s business.
You have ups and downs.
We’ve already put months of work into this agreement via early morning videoconferencing meetings, and now they’ve flown across the Atlantic to meet in person.
Mark gives me a nod, and an unreadable expression.He almost looks...sympathetic.
The hell?
I lower my brow, searching for envy but find none.
Is he a family friend?
Someone she worked with?
