Two days later, Mia received the call. The firm wanted her. “We’d like you to join as a senior associate,” the recruiter said. For a moment, she couldn’t breathe. The job she’d worked toward for years was hers, and it involved overseeing major partnerships, including the Whitmore Group.
She accepted with grace, her voice steady despite the storm of satisfaction building inside her. The irony wasn’t lost on her: the woman who had tried to erase her was soon about to depend on her for professional survival. Still, Mia promised herself that she would not exact revenge, only set her boundaries.
