Chapter 61: No Turning Back
Cassidy stood in front of the mirror, eyeing her reflection with calm focus. Her khaki blazer and matching tailored trousers gave her a sharp, professional edge. The white blouse underneath, with its subtle ruffle detail, softened the look just enough to balance strength with grace.
Her hair was pulled back into a low, slightly tousled bun. A few loose strands framed her face, intentional and effortless. Nude lipstick. Light, barely noticeable jewelry. Simple white heels. She looked sharp. Controlled.
"Okay. You can do it, Cass," she whispered, more to herself than anyone else, a quiet pep talk to push down the nerves and keep her steady.
She didn’t smile, but there was something in her eyes. Determination. Clarity. She was ready for today. Ready to face Zeke, or whatever else came her way. Just a few days ago, the thought of this meeting had left her uneasy. Restless. But not today. Fear was a luxury she couldn’t afford. Not in front of that man.
She grabbed her white clutch, slipped on her sunglasses, and walked out of the room without looking back.
After dropping Claire off, Cassidy didn’t waste a second. She pressed the gas and headed straight to her next stop. Salvador Group.
No hesitation.
The glass doors slid open as she walked in. The sharp click of her heels echoed against the polished floors measured and steady.
She was here.
And she wasn’t backing down.
Cassidy walked up to the reception desk, removing her sunglasses in one smooth motion and holding them in one hand.
