Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice Defending the Clients
Jake's POVEmma woke me at six AM with the bad news.Three clients. Derek targeting all of them. Forty percent of our revenue.We could not lose them. Could not afford to."We visit them today," Emma said. "In person. Face to face. Show them we care more than Derek does.""All three in one day?""We do not have time for slow. Derek moves fast. We move faster."She had already scheduled meetings. Marcus Rivera at nine AM. Chen Wei at noon. Sarah Johnson at three PM.All around the city. All in person. All critical.Marcus Rivera was first. Our top hockey player. Been with Sullivan Sports for five years.We met him at his home. Nice place. Family photos everywhere.He answered the door looking uncomfortable. "Jake. Emma. Come in."We sat in his living room. His wife brought coffee."Marcus, I am not going to pretend I do not know why we are here," I started. "Derek contacted you. Made you an offer.""He did. Two percent lower commission. Better terms. Guaranteed attention.""And you are
Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice First Day of War
Emma's POVMy first day at Sullivan Sports Management started with hate mail.Not physical mail. Digital. Comments. Messages. Social media responses.Derek's post had gone viral overnight. #NepotismHire was trending."Boss's girlfriend gets six figure job. Must be nice.""This is why companies fail. Hiring family instead of talent.""Sullivan Sports is a joke. Derek Chen was right."I sat at my new desk staring at my computer. Deep breath. You can do this.Jake knocked on my office door. "How are you holding up?""Fine. Just reading my fan mail.""Emma, ignore it. Derek is just trying to rattle you.""It is working."The staff meeting was at nine AM. Everyone gathered in the main conference room.Thirty employees. All looking at me with mixture of curiosity and skepticism.Marcus introduced me. "This is Emma Reed. New Director of Marketing. She will be leading our rebrand and communications strategy."Polite applause. But I could see their faces.They were thinking exactly what Derek'
Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice The Pitch
Jake's POVEmma stood at the front of the boardroom. Confident. Professional.Nothing like the terrified woman from the custody trial.She clicked to the first slide. "Sullivan Sports is failing. You know this. Revenue down sixty percent. Clients leaving. Staff demoralized. The question is why."Marcus crossed his arms. "We know why. Jake's custody battle created instability.""That is what Derek Chen wants you to believe. But it is not the full story."She clicked to the next slide. A timeline."Derek started his campaign against you six months before Jake's custody battle became public. He has been systematically targeting your clients for over a year."David leaned forward. "How do you know that?""Social media analytics. I tracked Titanium's posts. Their engagement. Their client acquisition. The custody battle gave Derek a convenient narrative. But he was already winning before that."She showed graphs. Data. Evidence.The board members started paying attention."Derek Chen is not
Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice Emma Steps Up
Emma's POVJake was not sleeping.I woke at three AM to find his side of the bed empty.Found him in the living room. Laptop open. Papers everywhere."Jake? What are you doing?""Working. Go back to bed.""You have been up every night this week.""I have a lot to catch up on."But it was more than that. I could see it in his face. The stress. The fear."What is really going on?""Nothing. Just work.""Do not lie to me. We just spent months fighting for our family. Do not shut me out now."He looked at me. Exhausted. Defeated."The company is failing. Derek Chen destroyed us while I was in court. We have maybe six months before bankruptcy."The words hit like a punch. "Why did you not tell me?""Because you have been through enough. The trial. The stress. The pregnancy. I did not want to add more.""So you were going to handle it alone? Suffer alone?""I am trying to protect you.""I do not need protection. I need partnership. Jake, we are supposed to be a team."He ran his hands throu
Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice The Company in Crisis
Jake's POVThe Monday after the trial, I returned to Sullivan Sports Management.Five months away. Five months of Marcus running the company while I fought for my family.I expected challenges. Expected some client loss. Expected rebuilding.I did not expect devastation.The office was quiet. Too quiet. Half the desks empty.Marcus met me at the door. His face said everything before he spoke."We need to talk. Conference room. Now."The board was waiting. Marcus. David. Two other senior partners.All of them looking grim."How bad is it?" I asked.Marcus slid a folder across the table. Financial reports.I opened it. Started reading. Felt my stomach drop.Revenue down sixty percent. Eight of our top ten clients gone. Operating at massive loss."What happened?""Titanium Sports Agency happened," David said. "Derek Chen went after our clients aggressively while you were in court."Derek Chen. My former business partner. We had started Sullivan Sports together seven years ago.Then he wa
Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice The Verdict and New Threat
Emma's POVForty-eight hours felt like forty-eight years.We waited in our apartment. Unable to work. Unable to think. Just waiting.Judge Santos had said she would issue her ruling within two days.Two days of hell.Every phone call made us jump. Every email notification set our hearts racing.Was this it? Was this the decision?The call finally came Tuesday morning at nine AM."Decision has been filed," Ana said. "Judge wants everyone in court at two PM to read it formally.""Can you tell us what it says?""I have not read it yet. But we will all hear it together this afternoon."Those five hours until two PM were torture.We got Alex ready. Put him in nice clothes. Tried to keep him calm even though we were falling apart inside."Is this when we find out if I stay with you?" he asked."Yes, baby. This is when the judge decides.""And you believe she will let me stay?""We hope so. We believe so. But we do not know for sure."The courthouse was packed again. Press everywhere.We pus
