I LEFT WHEN HIS EX CAME BACK WITH HIS SON FIFTY TWO
CLARABefore I fully understood what was happening, cold champagne splashed across the front of my outfit.I gasped and stumbled back immediately, staring down at the stain spreading across the fabric while conversations around us cut off one after another. The glass in the waiter’s hand shook violently, and then I looked up just in time to see Thalia still gripping his wrist tightly.For a second, nobody moved.Then humiliation hit me all at once.“What the hell is wrong with you, Thalia?” I snapped loudly, my voice cutting through the room so sharply that several people turned fully toward us. “Are you insane?”The waiter looked terrified, but I barely paid attention to him. My eyes stayed locked on Thalia as I stepped forward angrily.“You did that on purpose,” I accused. “You grabbed him!”Thalia released the waiter slowly and glanced at the champagne dripping down my clothes before looking back at me with an expression that only made my embarrassment worse.“Oh no,” she said cal

CLARAI smirked at Thalia one last time before turning away and heading back toward Bailey, who was still standing near the entrance with her arms folded tightly across her chest.The moment I got close enough, she grabbed my arm and pulled me toward her.“How in God’s name is that girl a speaker here?” she hissed. “Who even allowed this?”I scoffed immediately. “Please. You really think Thalia got here honestly? She definitely bribed her way in somehow.”Bailey gave me a look. “The only person she’d need to bribe is Dr. Carter, and we both know that woman doesn’t bend for anybody.”I glanced across the room automatically at the mention of Dr. Carter’s name.The woman was surrounded by people already, speaking to a few guests while some students hovered nearby, looking nervous just standing close to her.Then an idea formed in my head.I slowly turned back to Bailey and smiled.“Do you trust me?” I asked.Bailey snorted instantly. “Absolutely not.”I rolled my eyes. “Very funny.”“I’m

THALIAI stood just behind the stage entrance, my hands resting lightly against each other as I adjusted my grip, then released it again when I realized I was doing too much.“You’re good,” the event coordinator said quietly as she passed me. “It’s almost your turn.”I nodded once without responding, since the nerves were eating me up.On stage, Dr. Carter stepped forward, her voice carrying easily through the microphone as the room settled.“And now,” she said, glancing briefly at her notes before looking up again, “our final speaker for today.”I straightened slightly where I stood.“She is one of the brightest minds I have had the pleasure of teaching,” Dr. Carter continued, her tone steady and confident. “Her work, her discipline, and her consistency speak for themselves.”I flexed my fingers once at my side.Dr. Carter went on, listing out my qualifications one after the other, each word landing heavier than the last as the audience grew quieter, more attentive.Then she smiled.

THALIABy the time Olivia pulled up in front of my place, Knox was already in the passenger seat, leaning halfway out the window like he had been waiting for this moment all morning.“You ready?” Olivia asked as I stepped out.I adjusted the sleeve of my suit and nodded once before getting into the back seat. “As I’ll ever be.”Knox twisted around immediately, looking me over with a slow nod. “Yeah, this is the one. No competition.”Olivia smirked as she pulled away from the curb. “I told you. Trust me once in a while.”I didn’t respond, just looked out of the car and smiled. I just leaned back and kept my eyes ahead as the car moved through traffic.By the time we got to the venue, my phone had buzzed twice in my bag, but I didn’t check it. Olivia parked smoothly near the entrance, and Knox was already out of the car before the engine fully died.“Come on,” he said, opening my door. “Let’s go make people uncomfortable.”I stepped out, adjusting my jacket slightly as I took in the bui

THALIAI didn’t bother with fake pleasantries.I looked away from Clara and reached for the suit again, ready to take it off the rack and move on before she turned this into something unnecessary, but her arm shot out and blocked me before I could even touch it.“I said that’s mine,” she snapped, her voice sharp enough to draw attention. “Are you deaf or blind? I said the suit is mine.”I paused, my hand hovering for a second before I lowered it slowly, then straightened and faced her fully.“What do you want, Clara?” I asked, keeping my voice even.She let out a short, disbelieving laugh and folded her arms, looking me over like she had been waiting for a chance to do exactly this.“You really are so full of yourself,” she said. “So proud, like everything belongs to you. Maybe that’s why Brandon left your sorry ass at home and came over to mine last night.”Olivia shifted beside me immediately, already opening her mouth, but I lifted my hand slightly to stop her without taking my eye

THALIAI should not have told Olivia about the seminar because she took it as a personal mission the moment she heard.She showed up at my place already dressed like she was heading somewhere important, car keys in hand, not giving me any space to argue before walking straight inside.“This is not optional,” she said, heading for the door again. “If you’re stepping on that stage, you are not doing it looking like you forgot how to dress yourself.”“I don’t look like that,” I replied, grabbing my bag and following her out.She paused just long enough to look me over, then shook her head. “You do.”I locked the door behind me and got into the car, already knowing there was no point fighting her on this.“And you should thank me,” she added as she pulled out of the driveway. “Actually, you should thank me and take me out for making you go see your favorite professor.”I laughed and leaned back into the seat. “Okay, okay. Thank you so much, my queen.”“Better.”We picked up Knox on the wa
